PLEASE READ MY FINAL AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE BOTTOM AS THERE IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT IN THERE.

~Kelsey's POV~

"Mommy, look what I drew! Do you like it?" My 3 year old daughter asks as she shows me a picture of what looked like Megamind with short arms and legs.

Honestly, I don't know what that is

"That's such a beautiful picture of a...erm, a.."

"Dinosaur" Ethan whispers, coming to the rescue.

"Right, that's such a lovely dinosaur" I say.

Maya sends me a huge smile and starts skipping "See Elliot?! Mommy said she likes my dinosaur!" She screams to my 5 year old son Elliot.

Yes, 5 years. Ethan and I got married just a bit less then 6 years ago.

We ended up having 3 children, just like Ethan had planned. They weren't all planned though, two of them are twins but we love them both the same.

Elliot and Axel, my two 5 year old twin sons. Then there's my 3 year old daughter Maya. They fight a lot but I can tell that Elliot and Axel are really protective of her.

It's really sweet.

So many things happened since Meg's wedding, so many things changed.

May and Noah are now also married. They got engaged on the day they graduated from college. Noah took her on a walk which ended on a hill full of greenery. There he basically popped the question.

I was so happy when he told me, I was really proud of him for making such a huge step.

May also got to reconnect with her real parents. After her eighteenth birthday they went to visit the Andersons. May was shocked to see them after such a long time, yet she finally understoof why they did what they did. They also thanked the Andersons for having taken care of May and for making her the woman she turned out to be. They wanted to reach out to May for a while, but they didn't want to take her away from the Andersons after they had taken care of her for such a long time. They felt like they owed it to them to let May grow in their care until she came of age and so they corresponded with the Andersons secretly by writing them letters and e-mails, making sure their daughter was okay.

Something that truly came as a shock for May was the fact that she had a little five year old brother.

I always admired May for being such a mature young woman, and the fact that she embraced the fact that she had two families with no hesitation made her much more admirable.

Ellie is now 16, crazy huh? It seems like only yesterday she was this adorable 7 year old I used to babysit. She even has a boyfriend, which obviously Ethan isn't so happy about.

I still stand in awe at how protective he still is of his sisters.

Lara has also grown a lot. She's now 19 years old and she's in college. She doesn't have a boyfriend yet, she said she wants to wait for the perfect guy, although she does have a crush whom she told me about. She even introduced me to him when I went to visit her in college and he seemed to have a thing for her as well by the way his eyes shined when he talked to her.

It's honestly so cute.

Meg and Jake, apart from being our neighbors, now also have two children, Becca and Leo. Becca looks a lot like Jake while Leo looks more like Meg. They love playing with Elliot, Axel and Maya, they've basically become best friends.

Becca is as old as Axel and Elliot while Leo is a month younger than Maya. Leo and Maya are the closest of the bunch, they always look for each other to play together and draw together, they're honestly so cute.

I'm sure some of you are wondering when we decided to have kids.

Well, it happened during our honeymoon.

*Flashback*

"Ethan" I said as we entered the hotel lobby after eating dinner. I had been thinking a lot on what I was about to say for a really long time and I was finally sure of it.

"Yeah princess?" He asks pecking my forehead.

"Do you remember that day before I left for New York when you said you wanted to have 3 children with me?" I ask, my heart thumping loudly.

"Yeah, what about it?" He asks.

"Well, I'm ready to have one of them now" I say, meeting his eyes to see his reaction.

His eyes grew wide and his breath hitched. "Are you sure?" He asks, his voice raspy.

"Yeah, I mean we're married now aren't we?" I ask with an innocent smile on my face.

"Well then, whenever you ask princess" He says.

"How about right now?" I ask.

"R-right now?" He stutters. "Are you sure?" He asks once again. "Yes Ethan, I'm more then sure" I nod.

That's all he needed before taking me in for a kiss and grabbing my hand, leading me towards the elevator, and in to our room.

That night he made me feel in a way I had never felt before, and I knew that the man I had married was the man I wanted to grow old with. The man I wanted to share my ever after with.

*End of flashbacks*

That was one of the best nights of my life, one which I'll surely never forget, full of care, passion, and most of all, full of love.

"What are you thinking about?" Ethan asks smiling at me.

"Nothing, just how lucky I am to have found you" I say making him smile.

"Well, I'm even luckier" He smiles, pecking my lips.

"Ewww, kissinggg" Maya says from the door frame, hiding her eyes with her hands making both Ethan and I laugh.

"Guys, please clean up, Uncle Noah and aunt May are going to be here soon" Ethan says. The kids love Noah and May. I had never noticed how good Noah was with kids before and the love they feel for him honestly surprises me.

"Yay, do you think uncle Noah would want to see my dinosaur?" Maya asks. "I'm sure he will" I reply.

****

"So how many more months?" I ask May as we're eating dinner.

Oh, I forgot to mention! May is pregnant with a baby girl. I'm really happy for her but it's also really weird seeing the girl you've known ever since she was a child expecting a baby from the guy you once babysat.

"five months to go," she answered, gently stroking her tummy.

It all gives me a sense of nostalgia.

It's also crazy how I got to meet all of them. It all happened because I wanted to help my dad with his financial issues. 9 years ago I would have never expected for all this to happen. I would have never expected myself to have such wonderful friends and to marry such a wonderful man.

Ethan gave me everything I could have ever wanted. I know that we hadn't started off on the right foot but I'm really glad I gave him a chance. The love I feel for him is unreal and I have no words to describe how thankful I am to have him in my life.

~Ethan's POV~

As I sit on the dinner table with my lovely children, my wife, my brother and his expecting wife, I can't help but think how fast time flew. It seems like only yesterday I was this little boy trying to impress Kelsey and trying to get her to notice me.

Never would I have thought that I would end up marrying my childhood crush and building such a wonderful family.

They all complete me. Although sometimes it's hard as I have to go on tours and such, they're always there to support me and wait for me to come home with open arms. They even send me voice messages every day when I'm away.

I always knew I was in love with Kelsey, but that love is nothing compared to the love I feel for her now. I've seen her grow and follow her dreams. She completes me, and even though it gets hard for the both of us she has never stopped surprising me with how much love she has to give.

I'm also proud of Noah. He never stopped fighting for what he believed in and in the end, he ended up becoming a singer as well.

Ellie is still studying to be a make up artist and Lara, well she followed Kelsey's footsteps and decided to become a performer.

Life can surprise you sometimes, mine certainly surprised me but I can't help thinking about how lucky I really am and never will I ever stop being thankful for everything I have.
