[ SIX YEARS LATER ]

The sound of bare feet against brand new wooden floors is all that can be heard in the Minter household, along with a few snores at 7am.

It's been exactly 6 years since Simon Minter and Ariel Minter met at the cafe she now owns with her bestfriend Arwin.

It's also been exactly 6 years since Simon asked her out.

And 2 years since he proposed.

"Simon, you gotta get up now Love." Ariel chuckled lowly, slightly nudging her husband in a attempt to wake him.

"five more minutes..." he grumbles, grabbing onto her am and pulling her into bed next to him.

"Ah! Simon!!" She quickly yelped, shocked by the sudden action. She ends up laughing in the end, Simon encasing her in a cage of arms and legs- nudging his face down into her neck.

"Si come on, we have company you big dope." She flicks his forehead, causing him to retract his head and give her a confused look.

"Compan-?"

"Her Ari- oh, um- in sorry i-i didn't mean to interrupt. i'll be on m-my way now.." The quiet voice of the one and only Vikkram can be heard with the sound of a door quickly opening and closing.

this distraction gave Ariel the chance to escape, she quickly moved out of Simons grasp and tugged him out of bed.

"Why are they here at 7 on a sunday." He grumbles, going over to his wife and wrapping an arm around her waist as he lazily lays his head on top of hers.

"I just needed to talk to them, and they decided to come bright and early." She sighs in response, turning and placing a gentle kiss on his lips.

She moves from his grasp her again, making her way down stairs to find Josh working on some scrambled eggs on the stove.

"They we're burning, thought i'd get em' for ya." He responds, handing the spatula towards the woman of the house.

"Thanks Joshie~" Ariel smirks, walking past him and towards her other partner in crime.

"Hey, do you need any help? I feel bad watching you cook while i just sit." Freya grumbles, watching as Ariel lays eggs onto 10 separate plates.

"oh shush baby woman, i'm fine." She chuckles at the younger girls response, glancing down at the obvious bump.

"Boys! Breakfast is done!" Ariel yells out, slowly watching all of the Sidemen, plus her best friend Arwen, running into the kitchen like a wild stampede.

[ after breakfast and some ]

"ok so you all know i asked you to come here today. You may or may not know but it is Simon and I's 2 year anniversary." Ariel speaks, standing in the middle of the living room while everyone sits around her seated on a circular couch. Simon comes over and wraps an arm around her waist as the men, and one women, erupt into obnoxious cheers.

"Now, it's also another important day.." She trails, eyes going up and connecting with Simon. He looks beyond confused.

"Si, you might wanna sit down."
She smiles slightly, nervousness bubbling up inside of her and she partial nudges hums towards the empty part of the couch.

"So guys. Oh god how am i gonna do this." Ariel grumbles, pinching the bridge of her nose in attempt to keep in the tears.

"I'm pregnant."
