A Kiss For Every Lifetime

Chapter 19: Thirteen years later

"Did you pick the girls up in their ballet lessons?" I asked and crossed my arms on my chest.

Everett threw his head on his pillow and groaned. Sweat was trickling down on his forehead and run down his naked chest. "Oh God, I forgot about them," he groaned and sat up, I glared at him.

"Next time you forget, I'm giving you nothing of this," I motioned to my body and his face held horror, he jump out of the bed and rushed to the shower. After few minutes later, he appeared wearing a white shirt and a jogger, he walked over to me and pecked me in the lips, "I'll be back with them and we'll go have a picnic in the hill," he whispered in my ear and I nodded with a smile.

After he left, I took a bath and chose the most comfortable attire I could ever find which was Everett's shirt and a pair of my shorts. I dried my hair and pulled it up in a bun. I rummaged through the wardrobe and pulled out a checkered cloth to be used for our picnic in the hill.

Its been thirteen years after Justin's death. His father filed a case to us for his son's death but we showed him the footage of Justin carrying me out of the hotel and he just dropped the whole thing off and mourned.

After the incident, Everett decided that to cut the vacation short and we all headed back to New York. There, he cancelled his engagement with Jodie which surprised Jodie since Everett was reluctant at the thought of dropping the deal he had with her parents. The problem was settled when Everett broke the news that Jodie was officially engaged with Everest and this only startled the couple because they were suddenly engaged without their consent, not that they minded at all.

After breaking off the engagement, a week later, Everett invited me to dinner and he asked me to marry him which of course I said yes. When we announced our engagement with our friends, they were all startled at the revelation because a month before that, I had been grumbling about his rudeness and weirdness.

It didn't take a month before we exchanged vows at each other in front of the altar. Everett said that he'd rather have it as soon as possible thank losing me again.

After the kiss we shared back in Baros Island, all my memories in my first life came back and my life started to be much clearer now. Everett confessed that he never actually wanted a personal assistant but when he saw my picture, he set his mind to just hire me.

After our marriage, Everett left the company in the hands of Penelope for our one month honeymoon which consisted of flying all around the globe. The moment we came back home, we were greeted with a welcome back party. In the middle of the party, Everett got drunk and screamed to the whole world that I was pregnant (he didn't really literally scream to the whole world). Jodie squealed and knock me over the ground which got her a scolding from Everest about pregnant women.

It was true, I was indeed pregnant. Nine months later, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl which Everett jokingly named Emily and it just stuck so we decided to officially call her Emily Moriarty.

Two years later, I got pregnant again and nine months later, I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The boy was named Justin Ben Moriarty which I find stupid since Justin and Ben are the ones who made my life like hell. The girl was named Princess, credit to Jodie's insistent yammering about being the most worthless aunt.

Five years later, Everett insisted that we have another one and we did have another baby and I gave birth of him two months too early so we had to place him in an incubator. The baby survived and we named him Lucas Moriarty, in honor of Everett's brother in his first life.

And that brings us to the present time where I have to take care of four naughty children who loves to play around with everything. We Emily just recently turned ten and she became the Mastermind of all the troubles in the house. Justin and Princess will be turning eight soon and we're currently planning the party. As for Lucas, he's three and is the most cutest little devil. He had to let me chase him around the house just for a bath, can you believe that? That cute devil.

The sound of the doorbell pulled me out of my thoughts and I heard Justin's light footsteps rushing to the door. I drop the basket I was holding on the kitchen counter and headed to the front and just right on time, I saw Everett struggling to put Princess down. Emily was sitting on the floor, laughing at something Justin did.

I shook my head. "Girls, go ready yourselves, we're going to have a picnic at the hill today," the girls rush upstairs with a grin, "Justin, you too," I sent him a look and he frowned, "Fine," he disappeared (not literally).

Everett sneaked behind me and wrap his arms around me and pulled me in a hug, "I knew you were going to be great mother," he whispered and kissed me on the lips. I rolled my eyes and shrug him off, "Go prepare the food, I have to give Lucas a bath," I shooed him off and he started grumbling.

About an hour later, we were all inside the car. Everett drove off. Thirty minutes later, we were already in the hill, staring at the buildings in front of us, the kids were running around playing while I was tucked in Everett's arms and Lucas in mine.

"What do you say if we leave our picture here just in case...you know," I suggested and Everett grinned, "That's a great idea, I saw a hole on the tree last week, maybe we can hide it there," he said and I nodded enthusiastically. Everett leaned over and rummaged through the bag and pulled out a Polaroid camera. Lucas was dozing off in my arms so I took my jacket off and rolled it. I placed it in the blanket and lay Lucas down gently, I kissed his forehead and smiled.

Everett tugged at my arm and I positioned myself between his legs. He face the lenses towards us and whispered, "To our next meeting," and he snapped.
