Hello! Thank you guys for sticking with me during this writing journey. I am overwhelmed with the amount of support and love you guys have shared for this story. It means so much!
A couple things before you start. This is just a little FYI, but I know I'm always looking for new stories to read and that's why I update my reading lists so often in case other people are doing the same. I have over stories I have completed reading and they are all on my profile if you want to check them out!
Ok and ALSO after the epilogue I might be doing a few bonus scenes. What do you guys think?
Happy reading xx
Five years later...
I slowly lift my eyes open when I hear the door open. I see Alexander walk in with his suit still on. He's been on a business trip the last few days, but I wasn't excepting him to be coming home tonight.
I sit up gently, careful not to wake up the two sleeping four year olds next to me. Yes, we had twins. James and Scarlet.
It's dark, but the moon spilling in from the window allows me to see him coming over to me. He sits on the edge of the bed and leans to kiss me softly. "I didn't mean to wake you." He whispers.
I shrug. "It's okay. I didn't know you were coming home tonight."
"I ended the trip early. I hate being away from you guys." He said lovingly as he looks down at our children laying down on the other side of me.
They both took up his spot on the bed, sprawled out with Scarlet's hand nearly covering her brother's face. I smile in amusement at the sight. She got her sleeping habits from me for sure.
I always let them sleep with me in the bed when Alex is gone. They loved it and always referred to it as a sleepover.
Alex lifts his hand to undo his tie a bit. "I'll sleep in the guest room." He said, getting up.
"Wait," I said standing up. "I'll come with." I said.
He looked down at me and nodded, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
I looked back one more time at our beautiful kids. I leaned down to place a kiss on each of their heads. I gently moved Scarlet over more to my spot so that her brother wouldn't wake up from her basically attacking him in their sleep.
I left the door cracked as we left the room incase they woke up. We barely got out of the room before Alex's arms circled around me, pulling me close for a tight embrace. "I missed you." He said against the crook of my neck, breathing in.
I hugged him back, my cheek against his chest. "Yeah I'd miss me too." I joked. He chuckled and I pulled away to smile up at him. "I missed you too, babe." I leaned up to kiss him.
When I tried pulling away his hands cupped my cheeks to keep me there. His lips moved against mine and he deepen the kiss, slowly and tenderly moving his mouth against mine.
Suddenly he bent down to grab the back of my knees, carrying me as I wrapped my legs around him. He started walking and I realized we were in the other guest bedroom when he gently put me down on the bed, his body hovering over mine.
Alex broke the kiss to pepper kisses down my jaw, neck and collar bone. He lightly sucked on the sensitive skin at the base of my neck and I lightly pushed him away knowing exactly what he was planning to do. His face now hovered over mine with a mischievous flint in his eye and a smirk on his lips. "What?" He played innocent.
I narrowed my eyes at him. "No hickies."
He laughed. "Fine, but I want to talk to you about something." He leaned down to swiftly kiss my lips before settling beside me, laying on is side, facing me.
I mimicked his position. "What is it?"
Alex's arm reached out and rested on my hip as he gently traced circles on my exposed skin. I wasn't exactly in the most sexy outfit. Just one of his t shirts and a pair of yoga pants. "I think we should have another baby."
My eyes went wide and I sat up on my elbow. "Another one? Giving birth hurts." I groaned. I know Alex has been wanting another baby for a while. Well pretty much right after the twin's first birthday he's tried to convince me. It's not that I was completely against the idea, but two was already a lot to take care of.
"Why not? It's like the insurance baby."
I laughed and arched my brow. "Insurance baby?"
He smiled and nodded. "Yeah. That way if one of the twins is like a genius, the other won't feel so bad because they'll having another sibling like them."
My mouth fell open. "Alexander Knight, that's terrible reasoning for another baby."
His smile turned into a closed mouth smirk. "Well then is me wanting you reason enough?" He moved in closer, kissing me neck again as he hovered over me once again.
"An insurance baby." I repeated. I mean. A third baby wouldn't be totally crazy. And I do love babies.
I felt him smile against my skin. "What do you say?" He pushes.
I look at him, debating if we should really take on another tiny human. "Well... we could try. We may not even get pregnant." I said.
Alex grinned widely before planting his lips down to mine.
Nine months later...
We did in fact get pregnant right away and I was now due any day. The twins were just as excited to have a little brother. Scarlet has been practicing holding a baby with her dolls and even went as far as trying to pick the names.
James also couldn't wait and asks questions every day. He asked me the other day if he was talking yet in my stomach... Alex found that hilarious. They were two pees in a pod. I wonder how this baby would look since James already resembles Alex so much.
Alex and I just dropped the twins off at Alex's parents house to stay for the weekend since the doctor said the baby is literally going to be here within the next two days. The twins love spending time with their grandparents anyway since Phillip and Amelia spoil them so much.
I groaned when I felt a tight feeling in my abdomen. I knew this was a common feeling when you're pregnant and unless they become very frequent, I shouldn't panic. But it's hard not to freak out over every little thing when you've got a human being growing in you. That's like not panicking when you see the check engine light on in a car.
"Are you alright?" Alex asked, concern written all over his face.
I kept my eyes closed and nodded, waiting for the cramping feeling to pass. A few minutes went by though and the tightness was still there. I groaned once again as it become more frequent.
We were on our way to dinner with some of our friends so of course now would be the time I'd get full on contractions.
"Alex, Iâ" I shrieked as Alex made a sharp u-turn. I already knew he was heading back to the hospital.
Soon we arrived and before I could even reach for the handle he was there opening my door and helping me out. I felt like a whale trying to get out of a freaking car.
I scrunched my face in pain. "It hurts," I breathed out.
Alex had his arm around me, holding most of my weight as he nearly carried me into the hospital. He called out to the nurses standing by the desk and they immediately got a wheel chair.
Before I knew it I was going into full blown labor.
"Just focus on breathing, baby." Alex encouraged.
"If you tell me that one more time I will divorce you." I threatened through gritted teeth. Of course that threat is empty.
"You say the sweetest things." Alex said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"I'm in so much pain, Alex." I said through short breaths. The doctor wanted to wait to give me any kind of medicine to take away the pain since I needed to dilate just a tad bit more.
"I'm so sorry, Ana. You're going to be alright." His hand reached out to push the hair that had fallen in my face away.
"This is all your fault."
"What?"
"This!" I gestures down to my mountain of a stomach.
He chuckled, at the moment pissing me off even more. "Takes two to tango, sweetheart."

Six hours later our little boy was born. Elliot Knight. He was perfect and very chubby. A whole eleven pounds of baby I had to push out of me.
Soon after his parents came to the hospital with the kids so they could meet their new brother.
I held Elliot in my arms, looking down at his perfect little face. He resembled both me and Alex, I could tell right away.
"Mommy, I wanna see!" Scarlet said as her and James came rushing over to the side of the bed.
Alexander helped them both up as they sat on the side of the bed with me. I adjusted my arms so they could both see their new brother.
"Mommy, his cheeks are huge." James smiled as he lightly poked his brother's cheek.
"Be gentle," I said softly. James gave me a little smile before looking back down at his brother.
I felt Alex's arm go around my shoulders as he leaned in to kiss my temple. "I love you guys." He said looking at all of us.
"He's really beautiful." Amelia said as she stepped forward to get a better look at him.
"Wanna hold him?" I asked, already knowing that exactly what she wanted to do.
Amelia eagerly nodded as she lifted Elliot up and to her. Both her and Phillip cooed and awed at him lovingly.
"When are we gonna go home with him?" James asked excitedly.
"He can come home in two days." Alex explained.
Scarlet and James looked at each other both grinning. "He can play with our toys. I promise we'll share." She said.
"He's gonna play super hero's with me, right Mom?" James asked.
"He too little to play super hero's right now, James, but soon he definitely will." I promised.
The rest of the time was spent with my family was great and the twins really love their new brother which is all I could hope for. A few hours of being there had them wiped out so Alex's parents decided to bring them back home.
I was so lucky to have the support I did.
It was nearly ten o'clock and Elliot was sleeping in his bed next time mine. I looked over to Alex who was sitting on the couch nearly falling asleep.
"Alex, you need to go home and sleep. I'll be okay." I said to him. I knew that couch couldn't be comfortable. I slept on one just like it when my dad was in the hospital.
He shook his head, rubbing the side of his face. "I'm okay."
I sat up and scooted over to the edge of the bed. "Come here then." I patted the hospital bed.
The corner of his mouth lifted in a small smile. "If you insist." He said, getting up to walk over to me.
Alex laid down beside me, his arm draping over my waist as he spooned me. "I can't believe we have another baby." He said.
I chuckled. "Well believe it." I said, looking ahead at our baby in his bed. The clear walls gave me a view of his sleeping state. "He's going to be so handsome just like you." I said.
He pulled me a little closer, kissing the back of my head. "I love you, Ana."
"I love you." Was the last thing I said before sleep took over.
I can't believe it's over! I'm not crying. You are.
Oh my gosh! You guys are amazing! In the future I do plan on adding some bonus scenes so maybe holidays, the kids grown up, things like that.
ALSO I think I'm going to start a werewolf story and I'm pretty pumped about it.
Thanks again guys for all the support! Please vote!
