Padgett Knight

5 years later...

I was peacefully sleeping with Sebestian's arms wrapped around me however, our sleep was disturbed when we felt Noah and Zach jump on our bed.

"Careful kids, don't hurt your mother and little sister." Sebestian said to the two who were busy jumping and crawling up to us.

Those two ignored his warning while Sebestian wrapped his arms around my 28 weeks old belly. While I smiled.

Each morning was happy and with the kids now a bit grown up it was quite hilarious.

"Good morning, mom." Zach said coming between me and Sebestian, while kissing my cheek.

"Good morning, mom." Came Noah's voice who adjusted himself besides Zach, pushing an already irritated Sebestian more far away from me. He also kissed my cheek while I smiled and kissed both of their cheeks.

"No morning for dad?" I asked seeing how they ignored Sebestian.

"Yeah, you take my wife away and don't even wish me." Sebestian said faking hurt while the twins just laughed.

The twins were both exactly like Sebestian. I wonder how similarity the three of them will have when they are older. By nature, Noah was a mix of Sebestian's coldness for others and warmth towards family. Zach, was the same but he had a bit more of a soft side for me. Not like they didn't love Sebestian, both of them did. Endlessly.

"Good morning, dad." Both of them said pounding their litttle firsts with Sebestian's large one's.

Their interactions with Bradley was much and they were inheriting his sense of humor which Sebestian didn't like. Both their uncles and Sebestian spoiled all of them to no extent.

"Mom, when will little sister come?" Noah asked the question he asks almost everyday. Ever since they came to know about the arrival of their little sister they both seem to be euphoric. They already started to shop all her toys.

"Soon." I smiled stroking his hair.

Our attention went towards the light knock on the door,

"Mom, dad can I please come in?" Christian, our 3 year old asked while peeking his head in.

"Of course, buddy." Sebestian said and Christian entered coming to my side kissing my cheek and my belly.

"Good morning, mom. Good morning little sister." He said and went towards Sebestian's side and climbed up on the bed placing himself on Sebestian's chest.

"Good morning, dad." He said while placing his head in his neck.

Out of all three of them Christian is the most well behaved and patient child. However, we don't know about future but till now he is. This is probably because he spends most of his time with Alan. He also takes after his father. With his piercing blue eyes and the nature to know everything. As a kid all three of them are really curious about their surroundings.

Sebestian smiled kissing his forehead. He may not admit it but he literally blasts out of happiness when our kids call him 'Dad'. He never got love of a father and he didn't even get a proper childhood, but he didn't let an ounce of that affect him in taking care of our kids.

It still hurts him and I know it always will but with time it has slowly lessened, the kids complete him and he loves us with all his heart and so do I. Him and the kids are my life, it is impossible to imagine my life without any of them.

"MOM, DAD!" I managed to run as fast and as quick as I could manage wth my belly.

I reach the garden with heavy breathing and my eyes searching for all three of my kids just to confirm if they are alright.

I saw the twins fighting, while Christian quietly sat in the corner drawing. Noah had Zach pinned to the ground, but that didn't stop Zach from protecting his ego as he still tried to attack him.

"NOAH KNIGHT GET OFF YOUR BRITHER RIGHT NOW." I said shouting feeling myself grow all angry mom and angry pregnant woman, which was lethal combination.

Seeing me Noah jumped off Zach they both stood up scared with their heads down.

"What do you think you are doing by trying to kill your younger brother?" I asked Noah who replied,

"He pushed me first." Noah said and Zach made a puppy face which I was now aware of. Both of them were not as innocent as they looked.

"And what do you think you did by pushing you elder brother?" I asked turning to Zach.

"Only by a minute." He mumbled.

"ZACH KNIGHT! DID YOU JUST TALK BACK TO ME?" I asked growing frustrated each passing minute. God knows what they must have done to each other if didn't come on time.

"What the fuck." Sebestian whispered as he came besides me.

"Padgett calm down." He said as he came behind me and wrapped his arms around me.

I closed my eyes taking a deep breath to calm myself down, his scent really helped me.

"You take a nap, while I deal with them." He said guiding me inside of the mansion.

And I knew it all too well. He will just tell them not to do that again or even the worst, appreciate them for flighting so well. They will support each other, despite fighting.

This is the one thing that confuses me and amuses me at the same time. They may fight, but when I scold one of them, the other one jumps in, defending the other. It somehow suprises me of how united they are. Even Christian who doesn't even interfere in their fight, takes up some of the blame just because he doesn't like seeing his older brothers sad.

I reached our bedroom and laid down in order to get a nap and get free of all the stress. It wasn't good for my daughter.

"Mom, can I come in?" Came Christian's voice.

"Of course, baby." I said and Christian climbed up on the bed besides me, cuddling into me while still being careful of my bump.

"Can I please take a nap with you and little sister?" He asked while his blue eyes became full of hope. I smiled caressing his cheek and kissing his forehead.

"You don't need to ask." I said pulling him more close to me.

"Mom, are you mad at Noah and Zach?" He asked while his face was in the crook of my neck.

"They fought." I replied.

"They were careful not to hurt each other." He replied making me chuckle. He was smart and mature for his age. And I already saw that coming. Their unity was seriously commendable.

"Well then, I can't stay mad at them, can I?" I said laughing while he giggled.

"Thanks, mom. We all love you." He said wrapping his tiny arms around my neck.

"Mom, loves you all, too. Very much." I said smiling.

"Now sleep." I said stroking his head while I was humming him a lullaby. I loved having all of them around me. They completed me and I loved all of them more than I could put into words.

After a few moments, I could feel his breath even down and I knew that he was asleep. I closed my eyes when I felt felt the bed dip and arms wrapping themselves around me and Christian. I opened my eyes just to meet with Sebestian's.

"Sleep." He said pecked me on my lips.

"Where are they?" I asked refering to Noah and Zach.

"With Brad." He replied and I sighed. Bradley, Sebestian and Alan all spoiled my kids.

"Don't worry, they won't do it again." He said.

"Yeah, you probably told them not to do that again and then appreciated because they fought so well." I said knowing exactly this is what he said.

"How did you know?" He asked trying to act suprised. While I sighed.

"It's fine, Padgett, they're kids." He said rubbing my arm.

"It's not, Sebestian. They can't do that. They nearly killed each other today." I said, controlling my voice because ai didn't want Christian to wake up.

"They will not do it again, trust me." He said and I just stared at him. Maybe I overreacted.

"I do." I said as he kissed me.

Just then we could feel Christian turn.

"Dad?" He asked in a sleepy voice as he barely opned his eyes.

"Right here." Sebestian said and smiled when Christian managed to cuddle into both of us.

I was walking into the dining hall with Christian. When I noticed Alan and Bradley with Noah and Zach.

"Uncle Alan." Christian exclaimed and ran towards Alan who picked him up.

"Yeah, I see you forgot, uncle Brad." Bradley said faking hurt while everybody laughed.

"No, I didn't." Christian said jumping to his arms.

"I missed you uncle Brad." Christian said.

"I did too, buddy." Bradley replied.

I was right about them. They both treated the kids like their own. They cherished them. They also did there best just to make sure that the kids were safe.

"Mom, I will come to dinner later." Christian said and I smiled while nodding and walked away.

I was waiting for everybody to come in when I saw Noah and Zach enter the dining hall.

"Sorry mom." They both said as they walked and stood infront of me. They both even had a Orchid in theor hand as an apology gift.

"For what?" I said pushing them.

"For the fight earlier." Noah said.

"We didn't want to hirt you or our baby sister." Zach added with guilt evident on both theor faces.

I just couldn't resist to pull both of them into a hug. I couldn't stay mad at any of them.

"You didn't hurt us, but please don't do that again." I said and they both happily nodded kissing my cheeks at the same time.

"We love you." Both of them said and I smiled.

"I love you, too." I said and kissed both of their cheeks.

"Now let's eat dinner. Dad must be on his way." They nodded and sat on their seats and in no time the whole family with Bradley and Alan was seated in the dining hall enjoying dinner.

It was good. It was what I wanted, and I got it. The struggles to get here were worth it. If the result was my happy family and Sebestian I would gladly do it over again.
