This is set around 4/5 years in the future. Nick and Carla got married after Nick found it in him to forgive Carla. They have moved to Devon together and finally have started their family.

It was a sunny day in June, the birds were chirping and you could actually feel the happiness in the air.

As the clock struck 9am Nick and Carla still lay fast asleep, cuddled up together in their king sized bed. They probably would have laid there all day if four little feet hadn't came running in. Casey clambered onto the bed, closely followed by George. Both children began to jump on their parents bed in order to wake them up.

"Alright, alright!" Carla said groggily as she stirred from her relaxing sleep.

"Mummy, Daddy, wake up! It's sunny outside" Casey shouted as she began to shake Nick so he would wake up.

"The sun man is here mummy" George said as he crawled over to cuddle his mum who he adored more than anything in the world. Casey was still trying to wake up Nick but he was having none of it. He had hardly got any sleep the night before, no thanks to Carla. So the last thing he wanted was two loud kids jumping around in his bedroom.

"Maybe we should just leave daddy to sleep for a little bit longer" Carla suggested to her eager children.

"But I don't want daddy to miss all the fun. If he doesn't wake up he might miss the sun." Casey whined as she put on her best puppy dog eyes.

"Don't be trying to win me over with those eyes misses! You know that only works with your dad." Carla said to her mischievous daughter whilst giving her a smile.

"Mummy I'm hungry" George said as he pulled on Carla's pants leg.

"Right come on then you two. Let's go and make some breakfast." She said holding each child's hand as they walked down the stairs.

Even once they were downstairs Casey was still persistent on waking Nick up.

"Can we make daddy breakfast in bed please mummy?" She suggested to her mum expecting the answer to be no.

"Yeah, that's a really good idea. He'll like that. Casey you get the butter and George, sweetie you get the bread" she told her children.

"What are we making him mummy?" Casey asked curiously.

"A bacon sandwich and a cup of coffee" Carla replied.

"His favourite" George added. He was at an age now where everything he did was adorable.

"That's right George. Right come on let's get making before he wakes up" Carla ordered.

...

"Can I spread the butter on the bread please mummy?" Casey pleaded her mum.

"Yeah... Okay then. But be careful." Carla agreed.

After spending around 5 minutes covering the whole slice of bread perfectly in the butter Casey announced she was done and proudly pointed at her masterpiece.

"All done mummy" she said beaming with pride.

"Wow... It's a good job your daddy likes butter isn't it" she said patting her daughter on the head.

"Mummy please can I do something?" George asked politely.

"Of course Georgie, let me finish cooking the bacon and you can put the other slice of bread on top and then you can both bring it to daddy." Carla said.

"Okay mummy" they both said in unison.

Once the sandwich and coffee was finished Carla sat her son and daughter down and gave them their breakfast. They both had Rice Krispies and a bowl of fruit each. Whilst they were eating their food Carla snuck upstairs to wake up her husband.

"Oh, your already awake" Carla said surprised as she walked into the room where Nick was getting dressed into his everyday casual clothes.

"Yeah, I heard you and the kids laughing so I thought I better get up. I wouldn't want to miss out on any of the fun would I?" Nick said pulling his t-shirt over his head. He then walked over to Carla slowly and shut the door behind her.

"I love you, you know that don't you" he said to his wife.

"I know you do baby, I love you too" Carla replied giving him a kiss which quickly turned heated and would have probably went a lot further if they hadn't of heard a little knock on the door.

"Daddy can we come in? We have a surprise for you!" Casey said barley able to contain her excitement.

"Of course you can" he answered his daughter as he opened the door for her.

"We made this just for you" she said beaming as she laid down the tray of food on the bed.

"I've got to say, it looks delicious. You've both done an amazing job" Nick said picking them both up in his arms.

"Thankyou so much you two. I love you lots to the moon and back" Nick said tickling their sides.

"Your welcome daddy. We love you to the moon and back twice!" She replied cutely from the both of them.

"Why don't we leave daddy to eat his breakfast in peace and get you both dressed. It looks like a nice day for the beach what do you reckon?" Carla asked.

"YEAHHHH!" Both kids shouted in unison once again whilst running to their rooms to pick out what outfit they were going to wear.

...

It was around 11am and they were about ready to set off to the beach. Casey had opted for a light blue dress with yellow sunflowers on, a white cardigan and a pair of white sandals.

She also placed her recently bought white sunglasses on the top of her head. George on the other hand picked out brown surfer shorts and a colourful printed Hawaiian shirt with a pair of loafers on his feet. He also had a pair of sunglasses but his were dark blue.

The beach was only a 5 minute walk from their house so they decided they would walk.

"Have you got everything you need?" Carla asked one more time before locking her house and securing the keys in her handbag.

"Yes mummy" Casey said holding George's hand whilst skipping down the road.

"Come here please. You can't go too far ahead because there could be cars down here. Come and hold mummy or daddy's hand." And with that the four walked down the road hand in hand like a proper family.

...

Carla and Nick were sat on the sand together watching their two children play in the sand with their buckets and spades. They both sat and stared in awe at how much love they all had for each other.

"I can't believe he is 3 already. It's gone to fast." Carla said turning to face Nick.

"I know it only seems like five minutes since Casey was born and she is nearly 5." He replied.

"It's gone so fast. It only seems like yesterday. Where has the time gone?" Carla said reminiscing over the years.

"Well you know what they say. Time flys when your having fun." Nick said laughing.

"Well we've definitely had some fun." She said also laughing with him now.

"But seriously Carla. Thank you so much. You've given me the two greatest children I could ever ask for. We have the perfect family. I love you so much." Nick said bringing Carla into a cuddle.

"It was my pleasure. You couldn't have been more supportive. And your an amazing dad. I love you too baby" she said giving him a short but meaningful kiss.

It was only when she looked at her watch and she realised they had been there for over 2 hours.

"It's time to go home now kids" Carla shouted to her children who were still sat busy playing.

"Do we have to go? Oh please mummy. Just 5 more minutes?" She pleaded with her mum.

"Okay. 5 more minutes"
