Elissa pov*

I was woken up by smooth caress on my shoulders then on my back till I felt them on my thighs. I moaned softly.

"Wake up sleepy head" I heard Adrian's morning voice muffled in my neck

"Let me sleep" I replied

"No... We have a lot to do, don't you want to explore the island" He said while kissing me everywhere

"Just 10 min..."

"Ok if you don't want to cooperate I will use my method"

And then he turned me and attacked my mouth while his hand explored my body. My eyes widened right away with the pleasure he was given me.

"It's unfair!" I managed to say when he left my mouth. He chuckled

"Everything is fair when it comes to love babe" And said with a wink

I couldn't resist him and he knew that and each time he showed me his love it was just wow

"Oh my God Adrian...it's... "

"What baby tell me" he asked collapsing on me

"It was soooo good" I replied breathlessly

We were sweaty and complete mess when he laid beside me. I caressed his jaw when I saw the look he was giving me. My eyes stopped on the ring shinning on my finger. Yes we get married two days ago and now we are in Santorini for our honeymoon. I wanted to wear my old ring that he kept but he refused because it brought bad memories and he wanted a fresh start it's including a new ring. I have finally overcome my fear of marriage and decided to take another chance. After the discussion we had on Leo's wedding I was able to understand the importance of this commitment for him. So I decided to make the first step this time and asked for him to marry me again. His reaction was priceless and I couldn't be happier. Adrian wanted to organise a great ceremony but I preferred a small thing with family and closest friends. So just after 1 month we get married because Adrian didn't want to wait more.

He brought me back from my thoughts when he kissed my hand and the ring's finger.

"I still can't believe you are officially mine" He said, I just smiled at him.

After a good shower and breakfast we took advantage of our day to the fullest and the whole two weeks we spent there too. I was happy to be there with my handsome husband but I missed my son too. So I was excited to come back home and meet everyone again. This was the beginning of our new life. Everything was settled even with Tanya. After she kidnapped Lucas and shot Adrian she was arrested but after the psychiatric analysis we discovered her mental instability. We decided to didn't pursue her and she was placed in hospital to treat her illness for two years. Once out she came to visit us and asked for forgiveness, it was an emotional moment. Adrian and I decided to forgive her because it was a important step to forget the bad past. She told us, she found someone for her a doctor in the institute where she was and they are so much in love. To the latest news they travel around the world. I am happy for her despite everything because she seemed sincere and everyone deserves a second chance.

Everything was perfect and I couldn't wait to see what the future reserve for us.

5 years later*

"Shhhh baby please be good to mommy and sleep" I said to my baby girl Leah

She didn't want to take her nap and decided to drive me crazy nowadays. Contrarily to her twin sister Leyla who was calm and adorable, Leah was a devil in disguise.

"You really don't want to sleep, do you" I said looking at her wide eyes and gave her a kiss on her cute little nose.

"Ok, in this case let's see what the boys are doing"

I walked downstairs where I found Lucas playing with his Lego and Elliott trying to help him

"Hey my boys" I said sitting near them with still Leah on my arms

"Leah don't want to sleep again" Lucas said

"Yeah like always she will be tired and sleep when Leyla will wake up" I sighed

"How the construction is going" I said looking at their toys

"I have made a good progress and dad promised to help me finish when he will be back from work"

"I helped him too mommy see" Elliott added placing a piece. I smiled at him and caressed his soft hair. Elliott was born one year after our wedding he is the symbol of our new happiness.He is a copy of his father.

Lucas is a great boy and wonderful brother for Elliot and the girl; of course they argued sometimes with his little brother but nothing too much, he is so protective of them and help me a lot he is so smart for an eleven years old boy. I am so proud of him.

We spent the rest of the afternoon playing and cooking with Martha who was still with us not as house keeper but more to help me take care of the children she loves them so much and we love her too. We consider her as a member of our family not an employee.

We were in the garden when Adrian appeared; Elliot ran to him like he always did and jumped in his arms.

"Hey my big boy I missed you"

"Me too daddy" Elliot replied giving him a huge kiss

He walked towards me; I was breast feeding Leyla so I couldn't stand up. He bent and gave me a kiss on my forehead.

"How are you babe" He asked

"Good how was your day" I asked

"Fine but tiring plus I missed guys so much" He said smiling at Leah who finally fell asleep in her bouncer.

"I am glad we are Friday" Adrian added before Lucas came towards him

"Hey dad, let's finish the construction I want to show my work to aunt Hailey and Uncle Jeff tomorrow" He said enthusiastically

"What about a hug and a kiss before son" Adrian replied. He is a great father and I like how he is showing his love to our children at every opportunity.

"That's better" He said when Lucas gave him what he asked for.

"I will take a shower, change in something comfortable and I am all yours. Ok?"

"Yes Dad"

At ten o clock all the children were in bed even the little devil. Adrian prepared a coffee; I was in the couch relaxing in his arms.

"I can't wait to see everybody tomorrow" I said. Every month we organise a lunch with family, someone at Hailey's, sometimes in my parent in law's house but tomorrow is our turn to invite them.

"Me too but I more eager to spent the day with you and our children Sunday" He replied kissing my head. We stayed cuddling and enjoying each other for a while before going to bed cause we have a long day waiting for us.

The morning came fast, after breakfast Evelyn our housekeeper and I started to prepare lunch when Adrian and Martha took care of the children.

Hailey and Jeff came first with their little daughter Emily, shortly followed by Adrian's parents.

We spent a wonderful day. After lunch everyone was installed in the garden enjoying the great weather. My in laws holding my girls, Jeff playing with the boys and Emily and Adrian discussing with Hailey they had a huge smile on their faces probably talking about Hailey's pregnancy.

And me I was looking at the scene in front of me with gratitude; silently thanking God for all his blessing. I am a happy mother of four healthy wonderful children, a wife of an amazing man that I love more than everything and an accomplished woman with a catering and events company. I was lost in my thoughts when I felt arms sneaking around my waist from behind. I closed my eyes smelling his intoxicating scent.

"What are you thinking about" He asked kissing lovingly my cheek.

"Just what I did to deserve all this happiness" I sighed

Adrian put his nose on neck tickling me with his warm breath.

"I'm the one who's supposed to ask this question" He replied

He turned me towards him taking my face in his huge hands.

"You gave me everything I want, I need and much more a beautiful family the serenity and the most important your love...I don't know what would happened to me if you didn't come back in my life." He sealed his words with a passionate kiss. He sat on a bench with me on his lap enjoying the view of our family.

"The only ones missing are my parents and siblings, I missed them so much" I said

"What about I take a few days off so we can visit them" Adrian replied

I looked at him with a big smile

"Really"

He nodded

"It will not be a problem for your work" I asked

"No they can manage without me for a couple of days plus I trust Erin to handle everything very well"

"Thank you baby" I said kissing him

"Anything for you and to put this beautiful smile on your face" Kissing me back

"Speaking about Erin it's been a while, maybe we can invite them the next time" I asked

"Huumm sure"

"Lucas like playing with Sofia and her little brother Ashton is just so cute" I replied

"I think rather that our son has a little thing for Sofia and I can't blame him she is so pretty even if she is a pure copy of her father" Adrian said with a teasing face. I laughed at him he didn't completely become comfortable with Leo but he made a lot of progress for me. I changed the subject.

"The boys will be super excited when they know about visiting my parents"

"Oh yeah, so just wait the last moment before telling them I am not sure I will be able handle their excitement"

I chuckled at his words he was right.

"About something missing..." He said turning me so I was straddling him now circling my arms around his neck

"What" I narrowed my eyes at him

"More babies" He put a stupid smile on his handsome face

"Seriously Adrian the twins are just 6 months old only"

"I know but I didn't say it will be right away, we can practice more and more and maybe after one year I can put a little one here" He said caressing my belly

"So you were not kidding when you said you want a lot of children" It was his sentence just after our wedding

"Of course I was serious" He said

"You are unbelievable" I whispered

"What can I do? I love seeing you caring my children"

"Huum we will see" I replied enjoying the caress he was giving me.

"I love you baby"

"Love you more"

"Not possible" he said hugging me tight.
