(Epilogue) But Now It's All good, Babe

Song: Girls like you- Maroon 5 ft. Cardi B

Natalia's POV:

The sun shone with clouds sporadically covering it. The breeze was nice and cool. I watched the little run around giggling. Her brown curls bouncing behind her and her eyes twinkling in the sun. After her chased a man with the same brown her and brown eyes. I smiled as I watched him pick her up and spin her around. Her giggles grew louder and they both laughed without a care.

I felt a light tugging on my hair. I looked down at the baby boy sitting in my lap. He made sqeauling sounds as I removed my hair from his grasp. He looked up at me and narrowed his big blue eyes at me. I smiled at him and kissed the top of his head.

"Mommy look I'm on daddy's shoulders." Maria and Ryder came over to where Hunter and I were sitting. Ryder tickled her as he put her back down.

"Daddy stop." She shreiked in between giggles.

"You know the magic words." He said.

"I love daddy." She said. He stopped and kissed her cheek.

"Daddy's princess." He said.

"And who's the queen?" She asked.

"Your mommy." He said, bending over and pecking my lips.

"Daddy's queen right?" I said emphasizing the word daddy. He fake gagged.

"Kids it's time to go inside and get dressed." Nina came out onto the terrace. Maria pouted as she lifted Hunter from my lap. He couldn't protest since he didn't know what was going on.

"Five more minutes. Please nina?" She tried the puppy face on her. It didn't have an effect on Nina. I was mostly immune to it but Ryder wasn't. He was ready to bow down at her feet the second she made that face. When Nina didn't respond, she turned to Ryder. He glanced back and forth between me and Nina. Nina raised an eyebrow at him.

"Maria we'll play later okay? As soon as we get home we'll go to your room and build a fort. We won't let mommy or Nina in." He whispered in her ear. But it was loud enough for me to hear. He then winked at her and she tried winking back but failed terribly.

"You're such a daughter pleaser." I said rolling my eyes at him.

"I can't help it. She's my weakness. After you that is." He said, wrapping his arms around my waist. Managing to get a smile out of me he buried his face in my neck.

We were already running late. I let out a frustrated with as I straightened the crease in my red dress for the hundredth time. I recounted all the things that were done in my mind. Kids? Done. Gift? Already in the car. Ryder? Hopefully out of the shower by now.

I grabbed the necklace on my dresser. As usual I couldn't put it on. I handed it to Ryder who just walked out of the bathroom wearing towel around his waist. He didn't ask and clasped it on. I smiled thankfully at him.

I walked into my closet and searched the shelves for my nude stilletos and slipped them on.

"Nina are the kids ready?" I shouted from the hallway. I found my answer when I walked into the living room and found Maria and Hunter sitting in the couch completely dressed up. Maria was wearing a pale pink dress and her curls were pinned back. She pouted.

"I don't wanna go mommy." She, trying to smooth out the fluffy dress. She hated getting dressed up. She was a complete tomboy.

"Come on. It's your aunt Nicky's wedding. All your friends will be there." She thought about it and smiled.
