Downfall

Chapter 29: Six years later

Oh how time flies, we graduated college, Grayson became a social worker, I became a kindergarten teacher. Mason became pastry chef along with William.

And we didn't listen to our parents. I became pregnant in my last year of college. They weren't mad, they had no reason since we were 22.

"Up." She cried.

I picked her and she snuggled to me. She calmed down. Yeah, we had a baby girl, we named her, Aurora. She's just the cutest two year old baby girl.

"Found him." Grayson said as he entered the bedroom with, Kayson. He was on his neck.

Oh yeah, we had twins. I screamed and told Grayson that it was his fault I was in pain when I gave birth to them. He told me that it takes two to tango as I was giving birth.

We moved to a house that was just five blocks away from our parents. Mason and William, travelled to Spain to work there, in a very high class restaurant. They come visit from time. They both are happy and that's all it matters.

"What was, Kayson doing?" I asked as lay down on the bed with Aurora still in my arms.

"Trying to grab a cookie, note to self, never leave the cookie jar on the coffee table." He sighed as I chuckled.

"Our little terrors." I said as I put Aurora on the bed, she fell asleep in my arms. She's a mommy's girl. Usually is daddy's, but not her.

.......

The next day, I woke up by the smell of bacon. I got up and went to the kitchen. My parents were there, giving the kids breakfast.

"The key is for emergencies." I chuckled as I went to give the kids a hug.

"It was, I wanted to see them and pinched their cheeks. They were wide awake when we arrived." Mom told me as she put butter on her toast.

I chuckled.

"Plus, we brought your favorite bread." Dad told me.

I grabbed a bread and ate it, best bread ever.

"Bed." Aurora said while extending her little hand at me. I gave her half of the bread and she was on cloud nine.

"Bed." I turned to Kayson, I gave him my other half.

"No bed for mommy." I sighed. They all chuckled.

"There's more over there." Grayson told me while pointing at the kitchen counter.

I walked over there and gave him a good morning kiss.

"No breakfast for me?" Hunter announced as he entered the kitchen.

"No." The twins answered. We laughed.

"How's, Ariel?" I asked.

"She's fine." He said simply as he sat on the chair.

"Talk, now." Mom demanded.

Yeah, Hunter is her baby boy no matter what age he is. Which is 20 now. She's so protective of him. She wanted to kill an ex he had, cause she cheated on him.

"Ariel broke up with me. I don't know why?"

"It makes no sense, that girl is head over hill for you." I said as I cleaned Aurora and Kayson's faces.

"What exactly did she say?" Grayson asked.

"She said, I'm sorry Hunter. There has been some life changing event and we can't be together, cause you will hate me forever." He replied.

"Okay, I'm gonna call her and tell her that the twins want to see her. She can't say no to them. I mean look at them." I stared in awe at them. They were giggling.

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. I went to open it and motioned her to the kitchen. She was in shock when she saw everyone there.

"You've got some explaining to do, young lady." Mom told her in the most calm way.

She sigh, tears started to fall down her cheeks. "I'm a month pregnant. I didn't know how to tell you. We still have to finish college."

Okay, we were not expecting that. I thought she cheated or got sick.

Hunter got up and was a little angry. "You were going to get rid of our baby? Were you even planning on telling me?"

"I would never abort. I just didn't know how you would take the news. We're still studying, and what if one day you wake up, get tired of us and leave. You told me you didn't want kids." She cried.

"I said, not now. In the future yes." He sighed. She kept crying and saying sorry. "But no matter what, I'll never leave you. I love you and I can't wait to meet our baby."

"You mean it." She sobbed.

"Yes, I love you." He pulled her into a kiss.

"Congrats you two. Can't believe we're going to be grandparents again." Mom smiled at them.

"Normally, one would get angry cause You're still in college, but we had your sister when we were still in high school. So I have no room for lectures. But please focus on your studies, you're so close. We will help in any way we can." Dad told them.

"Hear that, little ones. You're going to have a cousin. One that you will teach how to drive their parents nuts." I tickled them. They laughed, as the rest of my family.

Our family was growing. I couldn't wait to meet my niece or nephew. Sometimes life just surprises you in the most unexpected ways.
