~Chapter 18~
-SKYLARS P.O.V-
As I run through the house getting ready my phone rings. "Skylar when will you and Hunter get here!" Hayley yells and I laugh. "We are getting ready right now." "Well hurry, people are already showing up!" She says and I laugh at the fact she was already very hormonal. "Okay, we'll be there soon." "Hurry!" She says hanging up and I smile knowing Hayley was freaking out about the New Years Eve party already. I finish curling my blonde hair, and I slip on dark skinny jeans and black boots. I put on a tight grey shirt and Hunters leather jacket. "Hey beautiful, nice jacket." Hunter says winking as he walks into the room wearing a dark blue v-neck and his other leather jacket. He has on dark skinny jeans and his leather converse and I smile. "Thanks, you should get one like it." I say and he kisses me lightly. "Maybe I should." He says and I nod laughing. I grab my phone and put it in my pocket along with some money and I walk into Natalie's room as Hunter walks into the bathroom. "Hey beauty!" I say and she giggles as I pick her up and change her diaper and put on grey cheetah print leggings. I slip on a black shirt that has a red bow on it and I put on her red hat and her black converse. I pull her hair over her shoulders and she giggles and spins and I shake my head laughing. I pick her up and walk down the stairs and Hunter is in the kitchen already grabbing his keys. "Ready?" He says kissing me lightly and I nod. "Let's go!" I say smiling and we walk to the car. I strap Natalie in her car seat and get in the front and Hunter turns on the radio as we drive into Nashville, the sun already going down illuminating the winter sky. "Think that just two years ago on this same night you proposed." I whisper smiling and Hunter takes my hand. "Asking you to be my wife was the best question I've ever asked." Hunter says and I smile. "And saying yes was the best decision I've ever made." I say and he squeezes my hand as the radio plays. We soon pull up to Sam's apartment building and we get out of the car and I pick up Natalie. "We need to get a babysitter." I say and Hunter laughs. "Or maybe we need to accept the fact that we are parents and that we can't be cool anymore." He says and I burst out laughing. "Or that." I say and Hunter laughs with me. I set Natalie down and take her hand as we walk into the building and to the elevator. Once we reach the roof Hunter picks up Natalie again and Hayley pulls my arm and I stumble towards her. "Woah, calm down." I say laughing. "Where have you been, I've been running around and setting up and I'm extremely hormonal with the baby, and Sk-" "Hayley relax, have fun and take in the new year. Tonight is supposed to be fun, not stressful." I say and Hayley takes a deep breath. "I'm just stressed out Skylar, I'm sorry." She says shaking her head and placing her hand on her forehead. "Don't be, have some fun." I say giggling and she nods and straightens her black dress before turning and walking away and Hunter comes up to me followed by Sam. "She's getting so big." Sam says and Natalie reaches for him and Hunter hands her to him and Natalie wraps her arms around his neck, as she absolutely loved Sam. "She is." I say smiling and I rub her back lightly. "Little Hayes isn't so bad after all." Sam says laughing as she hugs him. "She has really started to show an interest in music, if she sees an instrument, shell play it, or at least mess with it." I say smiling and Sam looks at her and she giggles. "Just like Hunter." He says and I nod and Hunter nods before walking off to talk to other friends he hasn't seen in awhile. "So are you excited about the shop? Hayley has been making tons of designs for the decorations." Sam says and I nod excitedly. "I still can't believe we will be running our own boutique!" I say and Sam shakes his head. "You both are amazing designers, its no surprise." He says and I nod. "Thanks Ellis." I say and he hands Natalie to me. "Hey," I say and he stops, "I just want to tell you that youll be an amazing dad." I whisper and he smiles. "I hope so, anyways I better get this party started." He says and I nod before he runs up onto the stage and I walk to Hunter in the blur of people. "They really outdid themselves this year." Hunter says and I nod looking at the bright lights all around us and the cool night air dances on my skin as the warm air from the outdoor heaters warm me. "They did amazing." I say smiling and Hunter nods. "Ready to take the stage?" I say and Hunter nods smiling as Sam talks and Hunter kisses me lightly before walking to the side stage. I make my way to the front with Hayley. Hunter takes the stage starting with crazy and I smile and dance with Natalie and she giggles and bounces all through Hunters two hour performance. "So performing here on this roof has been a tradition on New Years Eve for years. This year I am able to spend it with my beautiful wife, and our absolutely wonderful daughter, Natalie. This next song is dedicated to them, they light me up." Hunter says and I smile as the clock counts down to four minutes till midnight. "I was a ferris wheel, in an empty field, where nobody goes." Hunter sings starting Light Me Up and I smile staring up at him and he stares at me. Hunter continues to sing and the clock counts down and my heart speeds up as the last ten seconds begin to count down. All the lights go off and Hunter stops singing and he pulls me up on stage and he stands staring at me as the last second changes and the fireworks go off and the lights flare. "You light me up." Hunter sings holding out the last note and the crowd all cheers and Hunter looks into my eyes and Natalie giggles and claps. "You light me up." He sings softly before kissing me as the small crowd cheers and the fireworks soon stop and Hunter backs away and kisses Natalies forehead. "My girls." He whispers and I smile up at him and the crowd cheers not just for the new year, but for us. "We love you." I say and he kisses me again. "I love you both too." Hunter says before I step off the stage and Hunter ends by playing crazy again. After Hunter finishes the small crowd cheers and the lights of the stage turn off leaving us with the lights around us and the light of the moon that was shining bright. "I think we should head home, Nattys tired." Hunter says pointing to Natalie who's half asleep with her head on my shoulder and I nod and Hayley walks up. "Hey are you guys staying?" She says and I shake my head. "We have to get her to bed." I say and Hayley nods and hugs me. "Okay, bye guys. Thanks for coming. I'll call you tomorrow." Hayley says and I nod. "Okay, bye Hals." I say and she walks away bouncing and I laugh as we turn and walk through the door and into the hall. We go down to the first floor and walk out to the car. Hunter puts Natalie in her car seat and I get in the passenger seat. Hunter gets in the car and turns on the radio and 'I Want Crazy' plays and I laugh and Hunter sings along with himself. I laugh and watch Hunter as he drives and sings happily. I see my husband, my best friend, the father of our child, my world, my everything. I smile as he sings, his blue eyes sparkling and he looks at me and takes my hand as he sings. I knew that right now I could do anything, as long Hunters hand was in mine, we could take on this new year, and it would be crazy, but if we didn't want it we wouldn't ask for it.
