We finally arrive at the lake house, and I can't wait to go inside and say hi to Margot and Daniel. I follow Mia and Ben inside the house after hugging Lukas's mom. She's like the mother I never had and as much as I'm a daughter to her, she's my mom and Daniel is like a father to me. They're my true family not by blood but by heart.

The Living-room is decorated at Margot's finest with lights and Christmas decorations all over the place and an amazing tree by the fireplace. As my eyes wander over the room they fall on two people I have been dying to see since I left the house this morning. Lukas and Sadie are sitting on the carpet with their backs turned to me and I bet they were scrolling through that picture album again so Daniel is able to finish his dishes.

I chuckle a soon as I see Sadie's braids and shake my head at how Lukas seems to be good in everything when it comes to being a dad, even braiding hair so it seems... And picking out outfits for our little girl...and oh damn doesn't look bad either... Is that his wedding shirt and pants? No? Is it?

Lukas must have sensed my presence as he turns around to meet the smirk on my face. Sadie looks up at her dad wondering why his attention shifted from her to somewhere else and as soon as her gaze lands on me she smiles. She runs over to me and basically jumps into my arms. I pick her up, giving her the biggest hug. "Hi little Snowflake." I call her as she kisses me on the cheek. I might be Lukas's snowflake, but she's definitely mine. "Go and say hi to aunty Mia, she's been looking forward to seeing you." I giggle while I put her down. I smile when she runs straight into the kitchen, following the sound of Mia's voice greeting her dad.

As I watch her run away I hear Lukas's chuckle approach me. I turn to him to see him walk up to me with a mischievous smile on his face before he wraps his arms around my waist. He smiles briefly as I'm taken away by the look in his lovely eyes. "You look gorgeous." He whispers before leaning in for a kiss, his arms around my waist tight. I chuckle while I throw my arms around his neck and catch him looking down the front of my dress. "And fucking sexy." He leans in to my ear and softly whispers, just huskily enough to make me look forward to going home already.

"Mmh." I hum into the side of his face. "And you haven't seen what I'm wearing under it yet." I smirk against his lips before softly taking his bottom lip between my teeth, instantly making him groan quietly into my mouth.

He pulls me even closer as his hand goes over my tight forest green dress, down my back to briefly cup my behind. God I love it when he does that. "Baby, stop driving me wild before I really can't keep my hands off you." I feel the smirk on his face grow wide and I decide to silence him with another kiss, lightly sucking on his bottom lip, causing another soft whimper to leave his throat. We are so lucky everyone is busy in the kitchen.

I pull back a little bit to meet his now hooded eyes and his shiny lips, the sight of it only turning me on even more. "Who said I want you to keep them to yourself." I chuckle. "Have you seen yourself." I lean in to whisper into his ear while my hand goes through his hair at the back of his head. "Nice pants Babe." I smirk against his earlobe as I feel his hand slide back to my sides and into the hollow of my back. "You know how fast they came off at our wedding night right?" I whisper and I feel his face fall into the crook of my neck, his lips pressed against my skin.

"Yeah and it's also extremely hard to hide my excitement in these too baby. So, don't make me think about how you fucked me at our wedding night or the snake in my pants will catch everybody's attention in a second." He mutters against my skin before pulling his face away from my neck.

I can't help it to bring my lips to his ear one last time. "I'll make sure to remind you again when we get home." I whisper once more, turning my own cheeks red with excitement as my gaze meets the worked up look on his face. "By the way. You did a great job braiding Sadie's hair." I changed the subject before Lukas was forced to sit on the couch with a pillow covering his lap. "You're an amazing dad." I say before pulling him in for a soft and gentle kiss.

"But not as good in braiding hair as her mommy." He smirks, pulling me back in for a hug as if he hadn't seen me in days. "I'm proud of my girls." The way he whispered his words against my forehead made me melt and Sadie walking into the living room, pulling Mia in with her by her hand made me melt even more. I had the perfect family at last.

Diner was fun as usual. Everyone was in a great mood... Margot enjoyed family time and the food was delicious... Mia ate for two and I decided to follow her lead as Daniel's Christmas dishes were always too good to resist. Ben rubbed Mia's belly making sure their little rebel ate enough and Sadie for once didn't make a mess while eating. To top it off we had Lukas, who subtly let me know a few times, he couldn't wait to get home for dessert and I didn't mind replying him with a suggestion filled smirk.

Over the years we made our own Christmas traditions, opening presents just before we start eating dessert, the real dessert. Lukas and I made sure to indulge Sadie with presents this Christmas making l her wishes come true to the best of our abilities. Her grandparents and aunty Mia and Ben also made sure to spoil the little one.

While Sadie was playing with her new toys the adults were up next. We do a secret Santa every year with little thoughtful and funny presents. I pulled Lukas as by coincidence and this year I had the perfect gift for him, two to be exact. It was so very small, yet so amazing. Even thinking about it, I could feel my excitement make the emotional lump in my throat pound.

Mia got her dad an apron with worst cook on the planet written on it. Ben got Mia a pizza slice necklace on which Ben got a T-shirt from Daniel saying I'm a dad, my life is over on it and Margot pulled her own name, gifting herself an all-inclusive day at the spa because she deserved it she said, leaving us all in laughter.

"Don't tell me you pulled each other!" Mia gasps when she sees Lukas and I where the only ones sitting on the fluffy white carpet around the tree, especially empty handed.

"You're always so dramatic Mia! But yeah I guess so." Lukas smirks at me and I can't hide the smile on my face when I catch him. "Only one problem though, I can't give you my present just yet, it's s-"

"What is it, a glow in the dark condom?" Mia laughs out loud and all of our faces go blank with shock, looking over at Sadie who luckily is too caught up playing with something to react. "Oh shit!" Mia, mutters under her breath when she realizes what she just said. "Sorry." She smiles before covering her mouth all of us laughing at the situation.

"Just be careful, that little minion over there hears everything. Trust me, she hears her dad cussing every time, even if he's on the other side of the house." I look at Lukas sideways with a smirk as his face goes red with embarrassment.

"Shhhh don't spill our secrets in front of the fam Bells. Now we can't blame her using dirty words on Mia anymore." Lukas whispers, causing another wave of laughter to fill the room.

"Seriously now... What is it?" Mia widens her eyes at Lukas who scoffs into her direction.

"I can't tell it's a surprise Mia, that's the point of presents." He shakes his head before dramatically rolling his eyes at his sister.

"But I want to know. You're a party pooper Lukas!" Mia teases her brother just before Ben uses both of his hands to cover Mia's mouth.

"Mia, you do not want a little four year old calling everyone in the house a party p... Okay... If you stop asking him about the present we'll stop at a drive through McDonald's on the way home. No offence Daniel the food was amazing, pregnant Mia just loves a good cheeseburger." Ben smirks while slowly letting his hands slide from Mia's mouth.

"None taken Ben, I know Mia when she's hungry and pregnant so you can stop anywhere for your own sake." Daniel winks and all of us just can't stop laughing.

"Dad!" Mia raises her voice. "Okay fine, drive through and a silent Mia it is." She playfully rolls her eyes at Ben before crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Alright Bells, go ahead with your present." Margot insists as she's just as much of a curious character as I. That and the fact Daniel and Margot are already in on the gift. I know, so much for the secret I'm secret Santa but she was the one who helped me get it and couldn't keep it a secret to Daniel. Mia found out at work when I tried to wrap it in a little box and I'm sure she told Ben. So yeah, the only one unaware of what was in my little box was Lukas. Even Sadie knew.

I bite my lip, nervous to give it to him. He was already looking super excited and curious and I couldn't what for him to open it. "Sadie, come here for a second." I call Sadie and she instantly come running over. "Honey, why don't you get daddy's present from under the tree, you know, our little secret, the little white box with the red ribbon?" I whisper to her while I look at Lukas's loving gaze. She takes the present and walks over to me with it, sticking out her little arms. "Snowflake, you can give it to daddy." I smile at her and on my cue she turns around to give it to Lukas who's sitting next to me on the carpet.

"Is that for me?" Lukas intentionally gasps at Sadie which made her nod and giggle out loud. The two of them interacting together always makes me melt. "Well, thank you." He says in his dramatic voice before looking up at me with a smirk.

"Sadie come here, come sit with aunty Mia." Mia whispers to Sadie with a reason, knowing what's about to pop out of the tiny box. Our little snowflake is surely happy about it and softly sits down between Mia's legs, gently resting her back against her belly.

All of us are watching Lukas as he unties the ribbon and I must say my heart is beating uncontrollably, and my hands are sweating. What if he isn't happy with it? What if this will ruin it all. I don't know if this is what he wants I can only hope it is otherwise I don't kn... My mind is going just as wild as my heartbeat and I think I am going to faint when he opens the lid, instantly frowning his brows. All he found was a rolled up card, held together with another ribbon. "What is this?" He looks up at me with a confused look in his eyes. I'm too anxious to respond to him so he just continues to unwrap his gift. Oh damn, oh damn, he's about to find out... All eyes are on him and I can feel my hands shake for a reason. He unrolls the card and instantly takes in a deep breath when he sees what it is. He looks up at me with a parted mouth and pure shock written all over his face. "Baby, is this?" He shakes his head, rubbing his eyes before taking another look at the card. "Is this for real!?" He says, unable to grasp reality.

When I nod at him and see the smile on his face I can't contain myself any longer and I let go of all the emotions of keeping this a secret, letting out a deep breath in the form of a chuckle. "For real." I smile at him as joy fills my everything.

"We're having another baby?" He says as he takes a third look at the card in his now shaking hands. "Another baby? This isn't a joke? Because it's not funny if it is?" He bites his lip as he looks at me with the same confused look on his face. "You're pregnant?" His wide eyes scan me while I'm trying to fight back happy tears. "Baby..." He lets out a sigh of relief as he covers his face with his hands and starts to sob into them, and I no longer can keep my waterfalls to myself either. "Baby..." He whimpers as he looks up again, his hands still shaking as he removes them from his face. "How far are you along?" He looks at me and his eyes briefly wander to my stomach, then back to my face, focusing on my lips as they answer him.

"Eight weeks." I softly whisper through the happiness of my sobs and I'm suddenly silenced by Lukas cupping my face between his hands and crashing his lips into mine.

"Fuck, I love you so much!" He whispers into my lips before kissing them again. He smiles against my mouth and I can feel our happiness colliding in the middle. "You are pregnant!" He sobs, whipping away his tears with the sleeve of his shirt. "We're having another baby." He chuckles, completely out of breath while whipping my cheeks dry with his thumbs next.

I smile more, knowing about another surprise. "Lukas, babe..." I cup his cheeks. "Look at the ultrasound again." I chuckle, not even trying to contain my happiness, why would I?

Lukas looks down at the piece of paper again, his eyes wide, suddenly looking worried. "What? Why, is something wrong?" He frowns more as the ultrasound is a little different than last time and he would know as he stared at the first one for months, picturing our baby girl. "Bells, this doesn't look normal!" I can see him panic as he looks up at me again, so I decide to stop the pleasant torture.

I take his hands in mine I decide to tell him, because there's nothing to panic about, on the contrary. "Babe, we're having twins." I whisper comfortingly and his eyes go wider than before.

"What? Twins? Two babies? At once? Twins!" He looks at me as if it was a joke but happily it wasn't. "Oh my god!" He raises his voice before throwing his arms around me. He instantly burrows his face into my shoulder and the both of us start to sob once more. "Twins!" His raised voice is muffled as he cries into my dress. He holds me tight and I can breathe again now I finally told him. It was so hard keeping it a secret but I wanted to have the ultrasound to be sure and when I heard I was pregnant with twins I almost wanted to shout it of the rooftops. I wanted the moment he found out to be just as special as last time, and what better Christmas present than hearing your family is getting bigger, a lot bigger.

"You better start working on the other rooms in our house then." I smirk at him as the both of us are still crying. He told me he didn't want to do anything with our spare bedrooms in the hopes of turning them into another baby room when the time came. I guess we're not going to have a single spare room left now.

My words make him pull away from me and he instantly turns to Sadie, tickling her in Mia's lap. "Little smiley face, you're going to be a big sister!" Lukas blares with joy as Sadie's giggles make me smile.

"Daddy I know!" She giggles, looking at me, happy she finally doesn't have to keep it a secret anymore.

"What do you mean? You knew?" Lukas gasps in his own dramatic ways, his cheeks still stained with tears. Sadie looks at her dad and bites her lip while nodding and he instantly turns to me. "She knew!" He playfully squeezes his eyes at me and parts his mouth. He then realizes we're not the only people in the room and turns to his sister, tears in her eyes and a wide tale telling smile on her face. "You knew too, didn't you?" Lukas laughs before shaking his head.

"I caught her wrapping the ultrasound, plus I know the signs." Mia smirks at her brother and he could tell by looking at Ben he was in on the secret too.

"Your parents knew too baby." I whisper at Lukas who looks at his mom, balling her eyes out and even his dad has to wipe away a happy tear. "Your mom went with me to take the ultrasound." I smile as the memory of her nervously holding my hand in the hope to hear a heartbeat, both of us surprised when there were two.

"One of the happiest moments of my life." Margot laughs and sobs at once.

"Oh mom." Lukas whimpers as he crawls over to his mother, giving her the biggest hug she could ever dream of getting from him. "I love you." Lukas whispers to her and suddenly I feel myself cry more.

Sadie notices and stands up, running over to me, throwing her arms around my neck. "Don't cry mommy! Happy!" She laughs, giving me little kisses all over my face.

"They're happy tears baby." I whisper to her. I watched my life fall together for the past years and realized that whatever happened to me in the past doesn't matter. I didn't let it define me, on the contrary, it made me realize that staying true to myself, accepting the love from the people closest to me and most of all trying to build a better future was the only way for me to survive. I never thought that walking into a kitchen at a stupid college frat party could turn my life upside down in the most amazing way possible.

After dessert Sadie fell asleep on the couch with her head on my mom's lap. Dad said it was fine if she stayed the night here and so I went to put her in her bedroom upstairs. Yeah, the little minion has her own bedroom at my parent's house. After I kissed her goodnight and tucked her in, all for which she was fast asleep I went back downstairs and sat down next to Bella on the couch. I couldn't keep my hands of her stomach even though she wasn't showing yet. We stayed up, talking until Mia got tired and she was afraid the drive throughs were going to be closed if she stayed longer. A promise is a promise she told Ben.

During the ride home my snowflake fell asleep with her head leaning against the side window. I couldn't help but stare at her at every red light or stop sign. Another baby, two babies. I still can't believe the first one has been running around for four years and now two more... I'm so fucking lucky.

We arrive at our place and I gently open the door on her side, making sure she wouldn't fall out. She falls into me as I catch her, instantly waking her up from her daze. "Ssh, baby... It's okay. We're home; you fell asleep." I smile down at her as she throws her arms around my neck, still a little sleepy. I don't even hesitate and take her into my arms bridal style. Mmh, funny considering I'm wearing the dress pants and shirt from my wedding. I hum with happiness as she completely melts into my chest when I carry her up the steps and into the house. I want to carry her upstairs the but I'm afraid that if I drop her by accident I could hurt her and hurt the babies so I gently put her down. I push her hair from her face as she slowly wakes up, her body still completely relying on my arm holding her up around her waist. "Baby, hey. Wake up." I whisper to her before gently pressing my lips against hers and she hums. Good she's still alive.

She opened her eyes with a smirk across her face and she looks me up and down for as much as she can. "Mmh, I was having such a nice dream." She hums again, her eyes a little wider now.

"Oh yeah?" I ask her as I softly pull her towards the stairs, awake enough to walk them. "Tell me." I whisper playfully as I stare at her hooded eyes, holding her close to me just in case she's still too sleepy to keep her balance.

She squeezes my hand as she pulls herself up the stairs, using me as a rope, not that I mind. "Just so you know... The fact that I'm having dreams like this is all because you decided to show up in these pants... You know what happened to them after the wedding in our suite." She smirks as we're almost at the top of the stairs and I certainly have an idea where this is going, so I decide to add fuel to the fire.
