We were here, we had made it and now as we stood on the podium, the national anthem blaring out, we realised what we had achieved, a gold medal, our second of the games. I could see Amalie and Mom off to the side grinning at us proudly and I felt elated. We did it!

The presentation over we rushed over to them, I reached Amalie first swinging her up into my arms and making her squeal, before sliding her down my body and kissing her. stepping back and pulling the medal over my head and hers, letting it fall against her chest.

"This is as much yours as it is ours" I tell her and she looks up at me, tears in her eyes, before I let Rome get to her, his medal joining mine before he kisses her, leaving her weakly leaning against him. His hand resting on the small bump, that was finally starting to show.

After Hunters wedding we had told Amalie of our feelings and she had taken the next step with us, sealing our relationship and cementing our bond, something we had enjoyed doing again and again until we realised just how productive we had been.

"Well done boys, I am so proud of you" Mom says hugging me and smiling at all of us. Usually only one assistant was allowed in this area but Ama, had been a little faint earlier so they had agreed mom could join her, whilst the rest of the family watched from the stands.

"Thanks Mom, but we couldn't have done this without Ama" Rome stated proudly, gazing down at our girl, who blushed prettily. The last five months since the wedding had been a whirlwind and when Ama had started feeling unwell, scaring us by fainting at a family party two months ago, Mom had pointed out the obvious, shocking all of us and putting us firmly in the sights of her protective family, till we had dropped to one knee and proposed, something we had been planning for a while but brought forward, with the news we were expecting a baby.

"You did it, I'm so proud of you" she cried in our arms and we laughed, knowing these were happy tears, one of the things we had got used to as her emotions had swung back and forth.

"Now can we organise a wedding" Mom prompted and we all groaned. Ama had been putting off setting a date until after the Olympics but I know even she wanted to be married before the baby came.

"Just Do it, As long as all we have to do is turn up and say I do" Ama said suddenly, smiling at Mom through teary eyes.

"You sure" Mom gasps smiling and we all nod, watching as she rushes away, calling to Lucy and our dads and sharing the news as we take a quiet moment.

"I love you" I whisper to her and kiss her softly, before Rome turns her his way.

"Me too baby, you hold our hearts always" he tells her and the tears flow as we haul her into a hug between us as she cries out her love for us as well. Our group drawing the eyes of the competitors and spectators alike as we share our love, but we don't care, we are proud.
