Epilogue

Daniel's POV

"Cara.. I asked you to sit!" I said furious with her now. I'm asking her to sit since the past hour but no she doesn't want to listen to me.

But when she finally sits, "Momma..." My five year old son Ashton ran into his Mom's lap making her wince.

"ASHTON! Get off your Mom's lap right now!" I yelled at him.

"Ashton.. baby could you please get up sweetheart. Momma is not feeling too well" She said and he got up with a sad sigh walking upstairs to his room. I didn't stop him but these days he is growing too wild, gets angry and upset over every single thing.

"I told you to sit down... But no you never listen to me.. now that you aren't even intimidated by me, it's very difficult to handle you babe" I said leaning into her lap slowly, such that my head is on her lap. "You should've stayed at the hospital...." I told her with a pout. Then we heard a cry.

"I just fed her. Now what?" She cried out.

"I'll go check upon her. You stay here I'll bring her to you" I said. I picked my 4 day old daughter from her crib and patted her stomach lightly waiting for her to drift back to sleep and walked back to my room where my wife anxiously waited to check upon the baby. "We still don't have a name" I reminded her.

"Yes, we do...... I have a name on my mind. But I'm not sure if you'll like it." Well we did think about names but I felt awkward hearing to all the girl names. I hope you know what I mean. "Vanessa?" She asked doubtfully.

"That's perfect babe" I said giving a kiss on her forehead. Yupp.. Cara only stayed at the hospital for two days. I wanted for her to stay longer. But she wanted to prepare for Dylan's high school graduation. Crazy sister I know! I handed the baby over to her. I need to talk to Ashton.

"Where are you going?" She asked biting her lip.

"To Ashton.. You know he's not behaving too well these days. I think we need to have a talk with him" I said sighing.

"No... you don't go alone. You'll end up scolding him and he'll end up crying." She said and got up to come with me. I agree on this with her. Me and my second son just don't get along. I don't know, he himself tries to stay away from me, always going to his Mom for everything. We knew that since he is angry we won't find him in his room. So we went to our backyard which has a small room like place where Ashton loves to hide. "Ashton baby where are you? Momma is here?" She called out. We heard a shuffling near the bushes to our right and there came our Ashton with puffy red eyes.

"Were you crying? Why were you crying?" I asked sternly. Too much drama. See this is why his Mom doesn't scold him and he's getting spoiled. But then he started crying again holding onto his Mom, hiding behind her legs.

Caroline's POV

I bent down down to pick him and ignored the slight wincing pain in the middle and sat him on my hip. "Why is my baby crying?" She asked him softly.

"You bouth don't loove me" He said in his cute baby voice rubbing his already red eyes. Wait! WHAT?!

I was looking at Daniel clueless, thinking what made my son think like that. Daniel's face suddenly grew grim and he escorted us inside to the living room. "Why would you say that honey?" I asked him. "Daddy and I... we both love you so much" I said kissing his tear stained cheeks. Daniel stretched his hands out asking if he could carry him but Ashton turned his face away from him, clinging on to me tightly. Daniel's hurt was clearly seen on his face, but I still passed on Ashton to him forcefully. Daniel just held him to his chest kissing his head repeatedly.

William came inside the room and raised his eyebrows at the scene in front of him. Shocked to see that Daniel held Ashton in his arms, Daniel noticed that and obviously felt more guilty about it. William was always the brilliant one, we never had to make him understand the situation, he was clever enough to understand it himself. But Ashton wasn't like that, even if he understood he would purposely try to irritate others especially his father. But recalling all that, I feel like he was trying to gain his attention.

"Ashton......." Daniel called his name waiting for him to reply. But no such luck. Ashton only cried on his shoulder. He hates crying in front of others, so he's trying to hide his face from us.

"You only loove Will... Not me. You always play with only Will. You don't come to school for me. And now Mamma looves sissy. She won't let me sit on her. I know you will send me away just like Charlie's parents sent him away to study" He said.

But Daniel pulled his head so that he was facing him. "No Ashton. Me and your Mamma both love you. We love your brother and sister but you should love them too right? Mamma won't let you sit on her because you're a big boy now and she came from the hospital. She's not feeling well." He tried to explain but Ashton didn't take any of it. But atleast he stopped crying. "Dadda didn't come to your school that day because I was busy but when Will had the fest I didn't have any work that day. But I promise next time, even if I'm busy I'll cancel everything and come for you. Mamma loves you too.... You can sit on her lap when she is alright... after 10 more days? Now where is my kiss?" Daniel said moving his cheek towards his lips but Ashton turned his face away refusing to kiss. "I will never send you away even if you do all the naughty things because Dadda loves you too much." He said making Ashton's eyes glow brightly as he jumped into Daniel kissing his lips.

"Dadda... You won't send me? Promise?" He asked.

"Of course, we won't. Who gave you that idea sweetie?" I asked him.

"Everyone at school said.." He stopped not wanting to continue his sentence.

"Hmmmm... Okay now come on let's play football before your little sissy wakes up. okay?" Daniel said taking him out.

Hmph! All the kids were fed and tucked into bed and it's finally my alone time with Daniel. I felt Daniel's hand come around me. "You know Cara. For the first time in my life I felt like a useless father. I didn't know that's how I made him feel. Yeah may be I was busy during Ashton's fest but though...... I could have made it. And i don't play with him. But with Will I do.. Cause he is interested in business issues. But Ashton hates them..... and that's why we just don't get along, he always tried to gain my attention, but as a father I never noticed it. And he was right, he obviously would've felt as though we're sending him away cause I always threatened him that if he doesn't do this I'll do that........ I don't know. But I never loved him any less than Will. All three of my children are the same and I love them equally" He said pulling my back into his chest.

"It's OK. I understand. You threatened him, scolded him so that he'd stop with his ways. You as a father wanted to teach him to be responsible. You want him to be like Will. Just give him sometime, cause Will grew up before he reached his age. But Ashton he still likes that playfulness and he has to cause this is his age and he can't act like that when he is of your age. May be you didn't do anything purposefully. But you need to give time to each and every child of yours. Equally. And it wasn't my idea to have THREE! Oh and spend some time with your wife as well. Even she feels lonely at times." I said with a pout turning my face back at him.

"Three? Come on babe! I really wanted a girl after TWO boys. But my Dear wife, you never said you felt lonely. You should've told me right?" He asked disappointed at me for hiding things from him.

"Yeah.... But.. You were busy since the last four months. I thought you won't be there with me when I go into labor with Vanessa.... But thank god you came" I said with a sigh.

"I had to. You refused to push if I wasn't there...." He said giving a kiss on my forehead.

"You are my strength. I can't do anything without you..... " I said turning back, with my body now facing his.

"Of course, I'll be always there for you" He said and we went into deep sleep in each other's arms.

"Daniel...... Why did you wake us all up so early?" I asked hugging my children who were feeling too cold at this time in the morning.

"Guys... I guess your Mamma forgot that today is Uncle Dylan's graduation" he said making my closed eyes open wide. Shit!

"Yeah... shit! But before that I have a surprise for you all. I haven't been spending enough time with you all since the last four months.... but that was because we had to be somewhere... I actually wanted for all of us to go on a holiday so that's why I had to finish my work before that." He said and we were all looking at him speechless.

"Where Dadda?" Ashton asked.

"Greece!" He said cheerfully.

"Greece?" My little boys asked. Oh well yeah...they have never been to Greece.

"That is where Aunt Kate lives"

"That is where Uncle Nick lives"

Will and Ashton said at the same.... Oh well they know something about Greece.

"Uncle Nick" Ashton said.

"Auntie Kate" Will said... and so continued.

"Uncle Nick"

"Auntie Kate"

"Uncle Nick"

"Auntie Kate"

"Uncle Nick"

"Auntie Kate"

"Shut up both of you. Both live in the same country, same house. You can ask whose it is. Uncle Nick's or Kate's. Now come on let's get ready" I said. I still don't know their entire story. What happened and blah blah blah... But thus time I'm gonna bring that story out of Kate's mouth! For sure! Just have to wait.

I quickly took Vanessa into the bathroom to bath her. Oh god it's easy to bath just born babies, they don't move but why do they have to cry? I always hated when my children cried, I remember that once when Will and Ashton fought I started crying because I couldn't stop them. Of course, Daniel handled it. He warned both of them, but since then they never fought with each other.

I wrapped my baby girl in a towel and came out to hear some scream! Oh god I still have to bath my boys and get ready myself. But what I saw in front of me warmed my heart.Daniel was sitting inside the bath tub trying to bath my boys but no they wouldn't even stand in one place. Poor my husband. I quickly joined them with my daughter in my arms.

Daniel came to sit next to me on the side of the tub while passed my baby girl to him and watched my little men playing with each other and I felt Daniel's hand sneak around my waist pulling me closer so that our foreheads touched and our lips met reminding me of the first time we met. A Perfect Husband, a Perfect Family. This is Heaven!
