Chapter Twenty

*FOUR MONTHS LATER*

**Riley’s POV**

I am seven months pregnant, I’m huge, I actually can’t wait to meet my sons. That’s right I am having twin boys. I am scared but it’s a different scared. Sally and Bill have been incredible; Bill has assembled all the baby furniture while Sal has helped me in every way possible; she has come to every scan and helped decorate the nursery. I now am a fully qualified tattoo artist too and I am still working at the pub. I’ve got a car now too.

Lately I have been thinking a lot about my family; I know the Janoskians are doing really well. I still miss them like crazy. I can’t believe that I haven’t been seen though. I know I will go back one day, just not now. I know I can do this, be a mother I mean, but it scares me sometimes – I mean what if I can’t. I know I made the choice to have sex, to leave, to be a single mother but I sometimes wish I could change things. I don’t regret my boys – I just wish I was older I guess we all make choices when we are young – some wise , some not. I can’t worry about any of this now; today is a big day, it is my eighteenth birthday and it is also my baby shower. Sal organised it as a surprise but Bill let it slip.

**Sally’s POV**

It’s Riley’s eighteenth birthday today and her baby shower. It’s a surprise. The last four months, we have gotten extremely close, she is like a daughter to me and Bill. I know she is scared, I was too. She is going to be a great mother. I know she misses her family, we have talked about it but she knows she has a family here too. All the decorations are up, there is baby blue for her boys and silver for Riley as its one of her favourite colours. All the guests are here. Now it is time to get Riley.

**Gina’s POV**

It’s Riley’s eighteenth today, its been six months since she left, no one has heard from her. God I miss her, we all do. I hope she still reads twitter.

@mamma_g1: @RileyBrks Happy 18th birthday babe. Will see you soon xx

She promised she would be back and I have to believe that.

**Beau’s POV**

Today’s the day I am meant to take Rley out and celebrate her birthday with her. She is meant to get drunk and have fun. I miss her a lot.

@Brooks_Beau: Happy birthday @RileyBrks Hope you have an amazing day. Miss you xx

**Luke’s POV**

Today is a hard day, its Riley’s birthday. Everyone just misses her. She should be here.

@luke_brooks: Happy birthday @RileyBrks . Love you xx

**Jai’s POV**

We had a promise, that when she turned eighteen, we would dig up this box we buried of our lists of our hopes and goals. We were suppose to sit today, read them and laugh at how stupid they were. Instead, she’s gone.

@JaiBrooks1: Thinking about our lists @RileyBrks . Will wait for you. Happy Birthday J

**Riley’s POV**

“Riley, C’mon lets go to lunch” Sally says as she walks in

“Ok. Just give me a minute” I reply

“Just twitter and all the birthday wishes for me” I mumbled

“Oh sweetie” she says while helping me up

“its ok. Lets go” I say as I close my laptop

We start walking to her and Bill’s. We walk through to the backyard.

“SURPRISE!” everyone yells

“Sorry honey, I didn’t want to ruin your surprise” Sal adds

“You shouldn’t have done this; you have already done so much for us” I replied “but thank you”

The day was amazing, it was so much fun. There were so many gifts for the boys – Sal even made sure that I didn’t just get newborn stuff, I got items for when they are a bit bigger which is helpful. I really don’t know how I got so lucky to have Bill and Sal.
