"What are you doing my most beautiful wife ?" Tom asks, sliding his arms around me from behind, kissing my neck softly.

I giggle, his beard being a bit to the full side is tickling me. "I am making a bit of lunch for the kids, Athena and Aeneas said they were hungry".

"I still can't believe you talked me into calling our son Aeneas". He says chuckling and kissing my cheek. But had insisted it was greek like mine and Athena's name and I prefered to stick with A as the first letter, so a bit hard to find a name. After getting used to it, I actually loved it.

"Just admit that you actually like it". I say, winking at him, before putting the sandwiches on a plate, getting ready to carry them into the living-room were the kids are watching a cartoon.

Tom playfully slaps me on the ass, making me jump in surprise and glare at him, but he just chuckles. "We have a problem with names if the next one is a boy".
"The next one ? Could I please lose the baby fat from the third one before you start planning more kids ?" I say shaking my head.

He grabs my hips, pulling me into him. "Fat ? Were ? You are stunning and more sexy than ever darling. And well Artemis is 2 months now, I think I have waited a long time".

"You sir is utter impossible". I say, slapping his strong chest teasingly. The doorbell rings. "Well you better go let them in before Zac gets impatient".

He disappear out to let in our guests, they have come to England to see Artemis and is staying for two weeks. I bring the food to my kids. Finding Athena rocking her baby sister in her arms, talking to her in a low voice.

I squat down in front of my big girl, she is now 9 years old and she don't remember her real father. Tom is in all and every way her father now and he don't make any difference between her and his biological kids.

"She woke up mom, so I picked her up. I have been very careful". She say, looking up at me. I smile at her, she is such a sweet and pretty girl. She looks a lot like me but she has a bit of her father to.

Aeneas my little 3 year old spitfire comes over. "Mom can I hold the baby ? I want to hold the baby". Holding out his little arms.

"Here sweetie, sit on the couch beside your sister". I clap on the couch and he jumps up. I carefully take Artemis from Athena's arms and put her in Aeneas' arm, keeping my hands ready to catch her.

After two minutes of studying her, he looks up. "Okay, done now. Take baby mom". I smile and take my little baby girl into my arms. Letting my son get up and grab a sandwich.

"Where is my big princess ?" I hear Zac's voice as the door opens.

Athena jumps to her feet and sprints towards him. "Uncle Zac, uncle Zac". Those two have kept a special relationship after all the time they spend together when she was little, and she throws herself into his arms.

"Oh you have gotten so big, I almost can't lift you anymore". He says throwing her up into the air, making her squeal and giggle.

Laura and Tom comes in talking. Tom has a 3 year old boy on each arm, they are identical except one having blonde curls and blue eyes and the other having dark hair and hazel eyes. They are only about 2 months younger than Aeneas. The blonde is named Lysander and the dark one Laertes after Shakespeare characters, it had been Laura's idea and I don't think Zac ever tells her no.

Tom put down the twins and they are of as two little bolts of lightning, Aeneas hard on their heels, and soon there a sounds of happy playing from his room.

"Oh she is beautiful". Laura says, coming over to look at Artemis in my arms, my little girl is flailing her arms, smiling at the strangers.

I hand her to Zac as he comes over, sending him a smile. "Here, you need to get used to a girl before you get your own".

"I can't wait". He just say smiling softly, cradling Artemis in his arm, chuckling when she reach for his nose.

Laura smiles and rubs her 6 months pregnant belly. "No he has already bought around ten dolls and a shotgun to keep away the boys".

"Hey I got to protect my little girl, that is a fathers job. Right Tom ?" Zac say, glancing at Tom for some support.

Tom nods. "Oh definitely, I am already considering whether to go with the chastity belts or just build an actual Rapunzel tower to keep them until they turn 25".

"Tom ! You are doing no such thing". I say slapping his arm, and he just chuckles, winking at me in a way that says 'we will be two making that decision'.

I shake my head smiling, knowing that he will alway protect us. I have the best husband, the most wonderful kids and the most amazing friends. What more could I ever want ?
