Follow Your Dreams - An MC Story

Chapter 18

"Liam Patrick Quinn, will you do me the pleasure of marrying me?" Axel asks after he kneels down on his right knee; as he opens a black velvet ring box.

Tears pool in my ears as they fall, blurring my vision of him in front of me as I whisper; "Yes, a million times yes!"

Axel stands, kissing me hard with so much passion that if I wasn't already seven months pregnant, I'm sure I'd end up pregnant tonight when the boys went to bed; as he slips the silver wide band with emeralds in the band on my third finger of left hand.

"I love you baby, thank you for making me one of the happiest men in the world. Thank you for allowing me to be Ty and Tris' daddy and to this one too," he says before kissing me as he rubs his hands over my huge belly.

"I love you too, babe," I murmur as my almost 5 year old and almost 2 year old sons hug Axel and my legs.

Jolting in surprise since Axel and I are at a restaurant eating on the deck alone as the boys are staying the night at Parker's; "Papa, you and daddy getting married now?"

Axel picks both of our boys into his arms as I answer Tyler's question; "Yes we are baby; you and Tristan are going to be in the wedding too."

"Congrats, you two," Parker says as he, Riley, Julia, the rest of 'The Gray Rebel's' and the Carmichael brothers join us; with bright happy smiles on their lips.

"Thanks," I murmur; my cheeks tinting a light pink.

Heading home with everyone to celebrate; Julia and Amy, along with Carson and Vance, organized a light dessert selection of three different cheesecakes along with chocolate ice cream, milk and juices.

"Any idea when you'd like to get married, Li-Li?" Vance asks as he hugs me tightly.

"Once this baby is born probably in either May or June of next year; if Axel has no problem with this," I respond with a smile.

"Either month is fine with me, baby," Axel says from his spot next to Steven as they talk.

-Six weeks later-

Axel is currently at the store buying a few groceries with Tyler; while Tristan's home with me and napping in his room as I clean our house. I'm trying to keep busy as my back is driving me nuts; I'm slightly terrified that I'm in the beginning stages of labor and Axel isn't home and I'm not sure when he or Ty will be home either.

There's a light knock on the door, so I waddle my way there to open the door, where I find Riley, Parker and Vance standing outside; "Hey, come on in; Axel isn't home right now, he's out with Tyler at the grocery store."

"We know, he texted all of us to come and check on you and Tristan," Vance informs with a smirk as he rubs my belly and the baby kicking and rolling around my belly.

"Why would he do that?" I ask curiously.

"He thinks your back ache is early stages of labor and he doesn't want you alone with Tristan if you are," Parker responds.

"Oh," is all I can manage to say; little things like this, proves that he loves me more than I ever could imagine.

"So, where's my nephew and what were you doing before we showed up?" Vance asks sitting on the couch and draping his arm across the back of the couch.

"Tristan's sleeping and I was cleaning," I admit honestly as I sit next to him; cuddling under his arm with a content sigh.

"You shouldn't be cleaning this close to your due date," Riley chastises me from the recliner.

Quirking an eyebrow in response; "If I am in labor, it'll help speed up the process of my water breaking; trust me, I've done this once before."

"Oh, I see sassy Li-Li is here today," Vance chuckles.

"Where was this sass all those years ago when I first met you?" Riley chuckles with a fond shake of his head.

Shrugging at him in silent answer as the front door opens and Tyler and Axel enter the house, groceries in hand; "Papa, we're home!"

Giggling at my son and all of his goofiness; "I'm so glad, I missed you and daddy!"

Standing from the couch with Vance and Riley's help, my water breaks; guess it's time to head to the hospital. Vance and Parker stay with Ty and Tristan while we're at the hospital and Vance is going to stay the night with the boys, too. We welcomed our youngest son, Topher William Moore into the world on August 23rd at 9:57 p.m. Topher weighs 8 pounds, 11 ounces and is 23 inches long; and already looks like Axel, which I'm not complaining at all. Tyler and Tristan absolutely love their baby brother already and I already know both of them will be amazing big brothers; as Tyler already is.

Adjusting to a new born baby in the house was hard on Axel at first; as Tristan and Tyler were older when we moved in with him; but he's doing great and adjusting well.

-May of the next year-

Tyler is now 5 years old, Tristan is 2 years old and Topher is 9 months old; and Axel and I are getting married today. I'm excited and a little nervous too. Nervous that Axel will leave me at the altar and I won't see him ever again and neither will the boys.

Pacing the room I'm in with all three Carmichael brothers, Parker, Topher and Tristan as Parker stops me with a hand on my shoulder; "Kid, calm down. Axel will be there; he'll be at the altar when you get there."

Adjusting my hold on Topher as I stare unconvinced at Parker; "How can you be positive?"

"Kid, I just went and checked on him; and he's sitting with his head between his knees and breathing deeply."

Giggling at the image Parker created, as the others, I take a deep breath as Topher babbles at me and Tristan dances around the room with Steven; "Okay, alright, he's going to be there; he's not leaving me or the boys."

Amy knocks on the open door while saying; "It's time to start now boys."

"Come on Li-Li, let's get you married," Carson says slapping my shoulder lightly; as he plucks Topher from my arms with a smirk.

"Hey, give me my kids back; I need them!" I whine following everyone out of the room.

Tyler, Tristan and Topher are walking me down the aisle; I'm carrying Topher while Tristan holds my free hand and Ty is walking in front of us. Carson had joked one day in front of Tyler that the boys should give 'me away' and he loved the idea once he understood, so much that I agreed which is better than my original plan on walking myself down.

Tyler, Topher, and I have matching clothes on; tan pants, no shoes and loose fitting long sleeve shirts. Tristan and Axel are matching with tan cargo shorts, no shoes and long sleeve, loose fitting back shirts. Vance, Steven, Carson and Parker are standing on my side as my groomsmen; well Vance, Tyler and Topher are my best men. Riley, Harley, Wyatt and his brother, Asher are Axel's groomsmen; well Tristan and Asher are his best men. All of our attendants are wearing clothes similar to ours. An hour later, we are officially married and now I am Liam Patrick Moore.

My life has many curvy roads and ups and downs and straight-away's but I wouldn't change a thing about it. This bumpy road of life has lead me to my best self; the papa of three beautiful boys and husband of one of the best men in the entire world.
