What I Wish Happened

Epilogue

I run the straightener down the last strand of hair, before I walk over to Leo who was sat on the end on our bed tying his shoe. I sit down slightly behind him and wrap my arms around his middle, he rests his hand on my hand, I rest my chin of his shoulder and smile, "So, where are you taking me tonight?" He smiles and twists on the bed to face me, "Well hermosa, I thought I would leave it as a surprise, it being our fifth anniversary." I smirk and lean my forehead against his, "and the fifth anniversary of when you almost got married." He picks me up and spins me, I let out a surprise squeal as he puts me down on the floor again, he leans forward and kisses me, sending tingles through my lips. Our sweet moment was quickly broken up by our three devilish monsters that most call children. "Mummy! Lara won't let me watch my show!" Our youngest Julia barges into the room screaming at the top of her lungs, I smile and lean down to pick her up, "Sweetheart, you can watch your show next okay?" She sulks for a moment before reluctantly nodding, I lead all three of our children back downstairs and to the cinema room before walking back to the kitchen. As I pass the front door I see Kaci walking up the path, I wave and answer the door, "Hey Hun." She smiles and pull be in for an embrace. "You okay?" I nod, "Where are the monsters?" I smile. "Lara and Julia are in the cinema room and I think your brother is in the main living room with Noah playing Mario Kart." She nods and walks off in their direction.

I step into the kitchen and place a jug of lemonade on a tray with four small glasses, I walk back through the house and to cinema room where everyone has collected, I place down the glasses and wave Kaci into hallway. "Everything okay Hun?" I nod and smile excited for the following few minutes. "Um... I went to the doctors last week." Kaci gasped and jumped up and down slightly squeezing my hands in hers. "You're pregnant!" I smile and nod. "How far along?" I smile and switch my eye line to Leo, "17 weeks, but Leo doesn't know yet." Her eyes widen in shock, "You can't tell him, it his anniversary present." He eyebrows furrow and then she smiles again, "Do you know the gender?" I nod and smile as she claps excitedly, "it's both, a girl and a boy..." her eye bulge out her head again, "Twins? Again?" I nod, she pulls me in for a tight hug squeezing hard than any other time.

Leo knocks on the door frame from inside of the cinema room, "You ready baby?" I nod and squeeze Kaci's hand only for her to squeeze my hand back. Leo intertwines his hand with mine and squeezes as I pick up my purse and sling it onto my shoulder, we walk out of the door and towards Leo's black jeep, Leo walks to the passengers side and waves for me to climb in. I do so as Leo rounds the front of the car and climbs into the passengers seat. He drives down the lane and towards the motorway, I quite quickly fall asleep to the feeling of Leo rubbing circles on my leg with his thumb.

Leo wakes me up on the tarmac of Gloucestershire airport. I turn to look at him slightly confused, "Why are we here?" He smiles and climbs out the car, going round the back of the car and opening the trunk, I climb out the car and walk towards him, he's holding two duffle bags and smiles at me, I look at him confused and take my bag from him swing it on my shoulder, he turns and begins walking towards the jet, he laces my hand in his and pulls me up the stairs, "Leo, where are we going?" He smiles kneeling in front of me, clicking my seatbelt in he raises from his knees and creases my cheek, kissing my dimple to the right of my lips, I smile hold his free hand in mine, "It's a surprise hermosa." I smile as Leo sits in the seat across from me, "What about the kids?" Leo smiles and shakes his head slightly as he laughs to himself slightly. "Kaci and Olivia have it covered." I smile and take a breath of fresh air, rest my head on the edge of the seat, scrunching up my body in a small ball and quickly fall asleep.

"Hermosa?" Leo rests his hand on my knee to wake me, I don't know how long I've been asleep, but it has been a good sleep, "We are landing in twenty minutes." I nod and straighten myself out, folding the blanket Leo had laid out on me, I lean towards the window and peer out, it's cloudy and I can't see very much.
