"And then you all lived happily ever after?"
"And then we all lived happily ever after." I repeated after my six-year-old daughter, Alysa's words in confirmation.
"That is... until they had you. Then you made all of us run for our lives." Rex joked with his niece who was sitting on his shoulders, adjusting the clips she had placed on his hair.
Over these six years, Alysa had stolen everyone's heart when she was born. Her inquisitive mind made me have to tell my whole story to her because I couldn't find a way to dodge her questions.
The twins graduated; Austin got an architecture degree while Dustin got a degree for interior designing. Aaron was working in a hospital in the area while my brother opened his own mechanic's store. The twins lived here with us since Molly claimed it a sin for them to be away from her but my brother and Aaron lived somewhere close by.
I looked at Blayze who was resting on the sofa next to mine with our four-year-old son, Alex on top of him.
Yes, I named my children after the girl who died in front of me and Alex who I lost. I already had one more on her way—four months done—and I decided to name her Talia.
This way I could always remember them.
I looked at the clock, lightly shaking Blayze awake. "Blayze, come on its time. You go dress up Alex and I'll dress up Alysa."
Today Jackson was getting married to Ophelia, the love of his life. And to say, I shipped them since the start. She was perfect for him.
I quickly dressed Alysa in her pink frock braiding her hair so I could get changed myself. It was a peach shade dress that Ophelia chose herself for me when we went wedding shopping.
"Momma, I can't tie this," Alex said, playing with his bow.
"Didn't you ask daddy to do it for you?" I asked him, taking the bow and tying it.
"I did. But daddy gave up after trying a few times saying that his hands were too big to tie this."
I chuckled a little.
"Could you do ours too?" I looked up to see the twins holding their ties.
"Of course, but you could've asked Molly to do it for you."
"Are you kidding me? She'd kill us if she ever found out we couldn't tie our own ties."
"True."
I heard someone horn their car, realizing it must be Blayze waiting for us.
"Dustin, can you please go bring Alysa from her room and bring her downstairs."
"Okay, sure. But she better not ruin my hair. Do you know how hard it is to de-tangle them after she plays with them?"
"No, how on earth would I? I don't have any hair for her to mess with," I replied sarcastically. "Now go bring her downstairs."
While h0e went to bring my daughter, Austin grabbed Alex and we both made our ways downstairs.
Two cars waited for us outside, one with Blayze and the other driven by a driver. Molly was already waiting for the boys with Rex and Aaron next to her.
She passed me a warm smile as they sat in while I placed both my kids in their child seats at the back of our car.
"So, what's the plan?
