The Assistant || Ashton Irwin

Epilogue

I lay in bed, duvet wrapped tightly around my body and my head nestled into the pillows. I was in a state of pure bliss.

I rolled over and found a pair of hazel eyes staring at me. A smile instantly broke out on my face.

"Morning princess, why are you up so early?" I whispered, moving the duvet off my face.

"There was a bang on my window. It woke me" Emma, my five year old daughter said.

"Did you get a fright?" I asked and she nodded. I scotched over and she climbed into the bed. Beside me I heard Ashton let out a small snore as he rolled over onto his stomach.

"I know what'll make you feel better" I said, "Why don't you jump on daddy and wake him up?"

She smiled widely and the mischievous glint appeared in her eyes just like Ashton's. She had his eyes and curly hair but everyone said she was a mini me. I rolled over and watched as she positioned herself to pounce.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" She chanted as she bounced right beside Ashton.

"Ugh Em, have you ever heard of a lie in" Ashton mumbled into his pillow.

"Daddy!" She whined as she started to poke his side.

"Alright that's it" Ashton said rolling over and trapping her in his arms and tickling her sides.

She squealed and giggled and tried to wriggle from his grip. But it didn't work. As she continued to wriggle, Ashton continued to tickle her.

"Are you sorry? Are you sorry for waking me up?" Ashton laughed, blowing raspberries on her cheek.

"Yes!" She laughed and Ashton stopped and pulled her into his chest for a cuddle.

Emma was a daddy's girl, from the second she was born she had Ashton wrapped around her little finger. He dotted on her. Anywhere he could take her he would, be it one of his own shows or a band meeting Em went along.

"I'm gonna go make breakfast, who wants pancakes?" I asked and the two nodded. I swung my legs out of the bed and put on my slippers, throwing on one of Ashton's sweaters on as well.

I skipped down the stairs and went to the kitchen to start breakfast. I had the pan on and the pancakes cooking nicely when a strong pair of arms wrapped around my waist.

"Now that smells good" Ashton mumbled into my hair.

"And you're saying I don't?" I asked with a smirk.

"Oh you always do" he said kissing my neck, "How'd you think we ended up with Em" he added in a whisper.

"Shut up" I laughed shoving him off me as I plated up the food.

"Em breakfast" I called out and she ran to the dinning table sitting up beside Ashton.

"Be careful it's hot" I warned the two of them. I sat beside Ashton and put the maple syrup on the table. Emma nudged Ashton's arm and he took the hint pouring syrup all over her pancakes.

Once we finished eating Emma went upstairs to play leaving me and Ash to do the dishes. I left the washed dishes on the draining board and went to walk away when Ashton stopped me by hugging me tightly around my waist.

"I love you" he whispered.

"I love you too" I said with a laugh, turning my head to kiss his cheek.

"No. I really love you. And I'm so glad you came back"

"Ash, babe, where's this coming from?" I asked, turning around and wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I was just thinking that if you never came back, we wouldn't be here now and we wouldn't have Em and-"

"Hey hey hey, stop thinking you know that never goes well" I joked, "But don't think like that, I was always gonna come back for you. There was no way in hell I was living without you. So stop thinking. We're here, we're together and we've a beautiful daughter, alright?"

He sighed before he laughed and hide his face in my hair. And hugged me tighter.

"I know. I'm an idiot" he laughed.

"You are. But you're my idiot" I said, standing on my toes to kiss him, "And an incredibly hot one too"

"Why thank you" he said leaning in and kissing me, "you're incredibly hot too"

"Tell me something I don't know" I laughed, letting him go.

I went to walk away but he lifted me up into his arms bridal style, swinging me round.

"Ash don't you dare drop me!" I warned. He wiggled his eyebrows and soon darted towards the back garden and headed to the pool. I pinched my nose and held my breath as he jumped in the air.

"You're such a jerk" I said as we resurfaced from underwater, and splashed him.

"But you love me" he said pulling me closer to him as I tried to swim away.

"Well I must do if I let you get me pregnant again" I said with a smirk.

"Yeah you really-wait, what?" He asked, eyes wide.

"I'm pregnant Ash" I smiled.

"You are?" He asked as the corners of his mouth twitched into a smile.

I nodded and he grabbed me into his arms and twirling me in the water. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and my arms around his neck.

Our eyes locked and instantly a smile broke out on my face, I leaned in and kissed his lips lightly, his lips tasting like the water from the pool.

"Can I go for a swim?" Emma asked, bringing me back to reality.

"Course princess, just make sure you've your swimsuit and armbands on" Ashton said not looking away from me until the last word of his sentence.

Emma smiled and ran inside to get changed.

"I'm so happy we're having another baby" Ashton smiled.

"Me too. I love you" I whispered.

"I love you too" he whispered back, leaning in to kiss me again.

All I ever wanted was right here in front of me and I could not be happier. I'm glad I came back, because all of this was worth every second.
