[5 Years Later.]

ISABEL'S POV:

'BELLA COME DOWN NOW!" I shout up the stairs. 

Bella comes bolting down the stairs. 

"Yes mummy?" Bella asks hugging my legs.

"Did you leave toilet roll all on the toilet.?" I look sternly at Bella.

"I...I didn't mean to!" Bella wails bursting into tears.

I look down at my 4 year old daughter. how can I possibly mad at this little darling?

"Why Bella?" I ask kissing her cheek softly.

"Because Aaron was in the bath and he kept reaching out for the paper so I kinda just passed it to him...." Bella looks at her shoes. 

"Honey where you just trying to help Aaron?" I ask softly.

"Yes mummy. and I'm sorry." Bella looks up at me hopefully.

I sigh and lift her onto my shoulders. "Honey don't do that. Your brother is only 2 years old. He doesn't really understand the world as much yet. Yes he can kinda speak and crawl  but he's still a curious little boy who just wants to explore. Don't let him and yourself get into trouble." I kiss her forehead and let her down. 

"Now go play honey" 

Bella giggles and runs up the stairs. I let out a long sigh I didn't even realise I was holding in. I look over to see Aaron is still asleep in the crib and I can hear Bella playing with her dolls. Then the door closes and I know it's my darling husband. 

I feel arms come around me and a soft kiss on my neck. 

"Hey Candyfloss." He whispers down my ear giving me shivers. I grin and turn round to kiss him. 

"How was your day at work honey?" I kiss his cheek and head over to Aaron because he started wailing and making funny sounds. 

"It was alright, boss was being a dickhead again but it was pretty good." Aiden comes over and takes Aaron. Aaron hiccups and laughs as Aiden makes funny faces. 

"How are you so good with the kids?" I sigh flopping down on the sofa. 

"Honey you are too. Bella adores you." Aiden puts Aaron back in the crib and comes over to me. 

"Speaking of Bella where is she?" Aiden asks. 

"She's upstairs playing with her dolls." 

Aiden grins and makes his way up the stairs. "Where's my princess!?" He says loudly. I hear Bella squeal at her father's voice and rush out and jump onto him as Aiden tickles her. 

I love my family. Then the phone starts ringing and I head over and pick it up. 

"Hello?"

"Hey! It's your cousin Kate!" 

"Oh hi! What do I owe to this conversation!?" 

"Well mum says we haven't seen you guys in ages, and I know you have kids now, but there's something me and my husband Sam need to tell everyone. So mum said that Me, Sam My mum and your mum should come round to yours to have a little catch up!?" 

"Oh yes! That sound's great" 

Me and Kate then arrange details and after the call I have the fam coming over tomorrow at 12:30 for lunch. I rush up to tell Aiden the news and then go to bed.
