~Kitty's POV~

~3 Days Later~

"Are you two exited?" I asked Melody and Heidi as i drove them towards where me and Amy were supposed to meet up for a day together. Trish and Jeff were on a two week vacation to the Bahamas for a honeymoon, so Caleb and his wife were looking after their kids. Heidi, Melody and Paris have a pageant there doing tonight. Paris was in her doctors office getting a check up on her joints. Caspar was with Matt, Zachary and Isabella since they were at a water park for the day, so i was bringing the girls with me and Amy. Their school was on lock down for something, something about the water.

Me and Amy were going for a quick scan of our babies, then going out to get some sugary things, then i was going to take Heidi and Melody to their pageant, Paris was being taken by Jamie, then me and my fellow pregnant woman are meeting up to go for some dinner. Caspar's coming with me for that.

"Yes momma!" Melody smiled, mouthing the lyrics she was going to be singing tonight. I chuckled and drove onwards towards the cute little shop me and Amy were meting each other at.

After around twenty minutes of us talking about the baby and the pageant, we were at a nice shop, where i saw my fellow pregnant woman standing outside the window. I smiled and waddled out of the car and brought her into a hug.

"Hey Ames" I smiled.

"Morning Kitty cat" She giggled, before we walked over to my car and Amy got inside the passenger seat. We talked about all baby stuff, even though her's is around four weeks younger than mine. I smiled, thinking about my baby. I desperately want it to be a boy, even though Amy wants her's to be a girl.

"Hey girls?" I called into the back seats where Melody and Heidi were sitting.

"Yes mommy?"

"Do you want the baby to be a boy or girl?" I asked them, they pondered for a few moments.

"I want a girl!" Melody smiled.

"I want a boy" Heidi argued.

"Do you want me to find out what it is today?" I asked them.

"Yes please!" Melody beamed, i giggled, happy hormones caressing my body.

"Auntie Amy?" Melody asked.

"Yes honey?" Amy asked

"Do you want your baby to be a boy or girl?" She asked.

"I want a girl sweetheart" Amy smiled.

"Good. I like girls. I don't like boys" Melody wrinkled up her nose.

"Melody, that's not a nice thing to say. What about your twin brother?" I asked.

"I can tolerate him, momma" She simply said. I laughed, so did Amy.

"Okay Melody" I simply said, pulling into the maternity centre with the three girls getting quite antsy.

"Do you two want to come with us? Or stay in the car?" I asked the girls after me and Amy managed to wriggle out of the car. The babies were getting bigger and it was hard to get in and out of cars now.

"We wanna come mama!" Melody said, before she opened the door and climbed outside with Heidi.

"All right, but no messing around with anything in the doctor's office" I warned, before we all started to walk into the large building.

"Amy Hardy and Kitty Bright" Amy said to the receptionist as Melody touched my six month pregnant bump.

"Room 13" she said, before starting to type away at her keyboard. I chuckled at her rudeness, before starting to walk away towards the room. Heidi knocked on the door and i heard a male voice tell us to come on in.

"Amy? Kitty?" He asked. Me and my read-headed friend shook his hand and sat down.

"Now, my name's doctor Hendrix, and i'll be you're ultrasound specialist for the next month. Which one of you is five months pregnant, and which is six?" He asked us.

"I'm six months, and my friend is five" I answered as he typed away on his computer.

"Amy, would you like to say down on the bed and we can see how your baby is doing?" Dr. Hendrix asked. She nodded and waddled over towards the bed. She layed down on the mint surface as the male rolled up her pink shirt and rolled down the waistband of her leggings.

"I must warn you, this is cold stuff" He joked, before squirting the goo onto Amy's stomach, she winced as the temperature hit her bump. I giggled, knowing how cold the gel is.

"Here's your baby" He smiled, i giggled quietly, seeing the baby on the screen. Amy beamed from her position on the bed, seeing her little one on the screen.

"The fetus is around five months old, heartbeat's normal and active. Do you want to know the gender?" the male doctor asked.

"Can you put it in an envelope so me and Matt can give the baby shower planner the correct gender. We want to have a box of balloons that we open on the day of our baby shower to let us know the gender. We both do" she asked, doctor Hendrix nodded and printed out something on the computer he had.

"All right. Kitty, would you like to go next?" He asked, cleaning up the greenish-blue goo from Amy's stomach, helping her sit up and stand, before she smoothed down her shirt and sat beside me. I got into position, moved my shirt up and let my doctor squirt the goo onto my bump. He rolled the device around a little, before i saw my baby on the screen.

"There's the little one" Doctor Hendrix smiled. He started typing away at his computer, before starting to talk.

"Any symptoms yet?"

"Yep, the classics, swollen ankles, heartburn, morning sickness, strange cravings" I chuckled. He smiled a little before staring to type away.

"The fetus is around six months old, or around twenty-seven weeks. Heartbeat's normal, baby is active and seems perfectly healthy" He noticed, i smiled a little. All i want is my children to be healthy and happy.

"Are you planning to have the child before or after your move to Montana?" He asked me, i was confused. How did he know we were moving to Montana?

"After," I said slowly "How did you know?"

"It's on your medical records that you booked a maternity room for August 27 th-September 3rd up in Montana" He clarified. I nodded as it was true.

"All right. Everything seems healthy here. We can finish up now" He said as he gave me and Amy a picture of our unborn children, got the goo wiped off me, before helping me up and off the table.

"I expect to see you two in around two weeks for another check up, all right?" the man asked us as we gathered our things.

"All right doctor Hendrix" Amy said "Have a good day" Amy said as we all left to go back into the car. Me and my fellow pregnant friend made our appointments, before going out to the car, my two daughters following us.

After around two hours, a load of paparazzi following us, one large bag full of candy for me and my red headed future sister, and another bag full of cookies, cupcakes, macaroons, sweet pastries and two large slices of cake each for me and Amy, i was back home. Jamie was with Paris at her doctor's appointment, so it was up to me and the children's nanny to get them ready.

Paris, Melody and Heidi were going to be in a pageant tonight, just some little thing they wanted to do. I'm not letting them turn into one of those kids that all they think of is beauty at age nine, it's just a random thing they wanted to participate in. They did one every eight months or so, never wanting it to turn into a career, just a bit of fun.

"Do you and Heidi want to have a quick bath before your thing tonight?" I asked Melody as we entered the house. To my surprise, Caspar was there with Katie as he was doing homework.

"Yes please mama!" She beamed, running off with Heidi towards the bathroom. I chuckled and carefully waddled over to my son.

"Hey buddy, wacha got to do tonight?" I asked him.

"Biology mama. It's gross" I laughed at his face. He wasn't the biggest fan of science apparently.

"I know baby, but think of the dinner you're going to have with me and auntie Amy later on" I chuckled. He beamed and started to write again.

"Kitty, can i talk to you?" Katie asked me. I nodded and we walked over to the patio, so nobody could hear us.

"What's up?"

"Anthony's lawyer phoned when you were out. Him and Rachel want you and Heidi to come down to where Anthony's living in the UK, so they can get a custody agreement for her and the others" She quickly said, leaving me a little stunned, but not surprised. Ever since i got the e-mail from my lawyers a few months ago, i knew this was going to happen.

"When do we have to go?" I asked.

"Tonight. You don't have to pay for anything. They've paid for first class tickets for a plane that leaves a few hours after when you and Michael get home from dinner. Is that okay?" She asked me.

"Yeah. It's fine. Could you tell her through? I don't want to be the one to drop the bomb on her" I asked.

"Yes, of course" She said, then scurried off. I sighed slightly.

What if i loose my children to a man that can't look after them?

~3 Hours Later~

~Kitty's POV~

"Welcome everybody to the twenty-first annual little Princess beauty pageant. We have twelve beautiful contestants ranging from four years old to eight years old. We have three stages of this pageant, the swimsuit contest, the sweetest girl contest, and the all important talent contest!" He paused for applause "Now, let's meet our beautiful contestants!"

~Twenty Minutes Later~

~Kitty's POV~

"Are you ready to go out there Princess?" I asked Melody as she stood from her bronze chair.

"Yes mommy" She smiled at me, turning to watch Heidi as she had the finishing touches to her tiara and hair.

"Melody Pierce, two minutes" A female voice called. I nodded and fixed Melody's lip make up.

"Now, remember what i told you, no getting serious about these pageants. There just a bit of fun and you don't need all this make up and fancy gowns. You're both beautiful on the inside and that's all that matters, okay?" I asked her.

"Yes mommy. No getting serious about the pageants, there just for fun and we're beautiful on the inside" She repeated. I smiled at her and turned as i saw my youngest child run up towards me.

"Look how pretty i am mommy!" She beamed at me. I chuckled at Paris' enthusiasm as she toddled over to me. I looked her over. She'd just gotten back from her stage time.

"Very pretty Baby" I smiled, before my eldest girl talked to her sister.

"Now Paris. Remember what mommy and papa say no getting serious about the pageants, there just for fun and we're beautiful on the inside" She spoke sternly at her sister, before the blonde started to giggle as Heidi stood.

"I'm exited mommy" She smiled at me "I can't wait to show people how good i am at art, then we're going on a special girls trip, right?" Heidi asked me. I guess Katie told her not to tell the others about going to see Anthony.

"That's right" I giggled, before listening to the woman's voice again.

"Melody Pierce, it's time" She said, holding her hand out to Melody, who took it and started to walk with her, over to the stage.

"Good luck honey!" I beamed. I turned and watched as my blonde daughter walked onto the stage and saw the man in a black suit, red bow tie and white button down.

"Now, what do you want in this world Melody?" He asked her.

"I would like everyone to have water, food and a shelter to sleep in. I also want nobody to be bad and everybody to be happy. I would like for this world to have peace and every body to love each other" She started her cheesy, well practised speech. She didn't like these parts of the pageants. It was to girly girl for her.

"Aww, how sweet. Everyone, give it up for Melody Pierce!" He cheered as she walked off the stage.

"Heidi Pierce, it's time!" She called again, returning Melody and taking Heidi by the hand, leading her over to the stage.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Heidi Pierce!" He cheered as i saw Heidi walk over to him, dress trailing behind her.

"What do you want for the world Heidi?"

"I want world peace, everybody to be happy and for everybody to be able to eat nice foods, drink clean water and sleep in a warm and secure place at night" Heidi half-smiled.

"Isn't she just the sweetest? Everybody give it up for Heidi Pierce!" He smiled as Heidi walked off the stage.

"Rebecca Burton, it's time!" The woman gave Heidi back to us as she took a red-headed girl away.

"You were so good Heidi" I praised. Now, let's get you three ready for the swimsuit competition" I smiled, and walked over to their suitcases, picking out their water-wear and passing each one theirs.

"Can you three get changed out of your dresses and put these on whilst i go talk to papa, okay?" I asked. Upon seeing my blonde haired child nod, i walked over to the other side of the dressing area to where Jamie and Caspar were standing, looking awkward, and talking to each other, just like a father and son should.

"Hey you two. you okay?" I asked them , noticing their uncomfortable positions.

"Momma, i don't like being in here with all these girls and make up and stuff. Can me and dad go outside into the crowd?" He asked me. Dad?

"Sure" I choked out. Even though i can't forgive Anthony for doing what he did around three years ago, and trying to take them away a while ago, he's still my children's father. I want them to know him as Dad, and Jamie as Papa.

Just as they left, i walked over towards the girls, where Heidi, Melody and Paris were standing in their bathing suits.

"Hey, you three look good" I smiled.

"Thanks momma!" Heidi beamed.

"Now, since Paris is up first, how about you two get you're fake nails off and take you're eye and lip make up off, all right?" I asked the elder two.

"Okay mommy" With that, i quickly got Paris' eye make up off, and replaced it with slightly darker eye shadow. I quickly glued some fake nails onto her actual nails, before removing her tiara, waving her hair out a little, before sliding her sandals on her little feet and putting her earrings in.

"Paris Pierce, Michelle Dragon, Kyla Grey and Tilly Martin, it's time!" The woman, now known as Emily, said.

"Good Luck baby, you're up" I whispered to Paris. She kissed me quickly, before toddling over to Emily, where the other girls were.

"Good, now, i'll do Melody first all right?" I asked, before sitting the blonde eight-year-old down into her chair and i got to work.

I removed her plaits from her hair, before brushing out the curls, making beach waves. Then, i did her make up, so it was natural and more child-like. After her blush nails were stuck on and a silver charm bracelet was attached to her left wrist, i placed her pink flip flops on her feet and looked her over.

"Pretty sister" Heidi smiled. I chuckled and gave her one of my oversized cardigans to cover herself in. I quickly repeated the procedure with Heidi and as she wrapped herself up in my blue cardigan, we looked to see Paris on the stage, twirling and smiling at her crowd and judges.

"And that's it for our 3 year olds. Our four year old are up next, consisting of Juliet Smart, Olivia Birchill, Kristen Smith and Bethany Barone! Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for Paris Pierce, Michelle Dragon, Kyla Grey and Tilly Martin!" The four girls walked off the stage, another four replacing them.

Around twenty minutes later, Paris was all dressed up for her talent competition, as she was doing ballet. She was covered in my oversized cardigan that i gave Melody as we watched the latter and her half-sister twirl, smile, giggle and blow kisses towards the crowd and judges.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for Melody Pierce, Heidi Pierce, Samantha Hope and Rebecca Burton!" He cheered as they left the stage. "Now, it's now time for the highlight of the night, the talent competition!" He paused again, hearing the clapping and cheering "Introducing first, from the age three category, Michelle Dragon!"

Meanwhile, just as he finished speaking and a Hispanic little girl came onto the stage, i saw my elder daughters skip back towards us, hands clasped and smiles bright.

"How were we mommy?" Heidi beamed.

"You were brilliant baby, now let's get you two into you're next costumes" I handed them there bags as they went back towards the curtain to change.

"Paris Pierce, it's time!" Emily came back and addressed the girls loudly, before my little girl ran up to her.

"Good luck baby!"

"Momma, how do we look?" Heidi asked me, Melody next to her as i watched Paris dance on the stage.

"Fabulous" I giggled "Come on, let's do your make up" I said, sitting Melody down on the chair as i quickly curled her hair, did a dramatic eye on her iguana blue ones and a natural lip. Heidi helped by removing her fuchsia false nails and putting her green-French-tipped ones on instead. As she slid the ring on Melody's right middle finger, i finished with her hair, putting a green flowered headband across her forehead.

"You look so pretty Melody" Heidi marvelled as she got off her chair.

"Thank you" She blushed.

"Hey you, practice your song" I said, passing her one of my old guitars. She was going to sing and play the guitar. My blonde daughter nodded and started to strum quietly, singing her lyrics quietly. I helped her as i straightened Heidi's hair and did a dramatic eye and natural lip.

"Ready baby?" I asked as Paris returned to us.

"Yeah momma" She smiled as Heidi gathered her canvas, pencils, pains, brushes and paper.

"Ready flower?"

"Yep" She smiled.

"Melody Pierce, it's time" Emily said, coming in as Melody rushed over to her, grabbing her hand as she held the oak instrument.

"Now, everybody, please welcome Melody Pierce!" The man said as i saw my daughter walk over to the end of the stage, microphone on it's stand, guitar strap over her shoulder and pick in her fingers. She took a deep breath, before starting to play the chords.

"Drew looks at me"

"He won't see"

"Ladies and gentlemen!" The man said, flabbergasted "Give it up for miss Melody Pierce! How amazing was that?" He questioned as Melody bowed and left the stage.

"Oh my god mommy! I did it!" Melody exclaimed, running over to where i was sitting with Paris on my lap, gently resting on my bump, eating something I'd bought with Amy earlier that day.

"You did angel, and it was amazing!" I giggled, hugging her tightly.

"Thank you momma" She giggled.

"Heidi Pierce, your up!" Emily said, taking Heidi's hand.

"Good luck sister!" Paris waved, yawning a little as she rested her head on my bump. Poor thing, she's just so tired. I guess she's had a busy day.

"Thanks!" She waved, then she was gone.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome Heidi Pierce!" The man cheered again and walked off the stage. Heidi walked on, a acoustic sound played as she set up her canvas and paper. After taking a deep breath, Heidi started to draw.

"Oh my goodness, everyone, give it up for miss Heidi Pierce!" The man said after Heidi finished and packed up her things. She beamed at us as i was keeping an eye on Paris, who was quietly napping on the couch near us. I was straightening Melody's hair as she put her lip gloss on.

"Well done flower" I said, hugging her with one arm, so nobody would get burned.

"Thanks momma"

"Hey, could you do me a favour and wake Paris up for me, then get you and her dressed please" I said as Melody finished and started sucking at her milkshake.

"Okay momma" She smiled and did what i asked. Melody was already dressed and was kicking her feet around as i finished with her make up. I did a natural look, with heavy eye liner that went well with her pink and silver strapless dress, pink sandals, silver necklace and earrings with silver headband. I waved out the ends of her hair as i turned off the hot device, before putting the pearls on her neck.

"Woah, you look Pretty Melody" Heidi marvelled as she came out with Paris.

"Thanks" Melody said, before Heidi said where she did. I braided Heidi's long brown hair as she sat still for me, just like she had to when i did a natural make up look on her pretty face.

"Nice outfit" Melody marvelled as she fixed Paris' dress. Heidi giggled as she stood.

"Thanks"

I sat Paris on the chair, before curling her long dark hair and putting it into a side-bun, braiding a few sections before i did a natural eye and dramatic lip, before the girls helped me put Paris' sandals on her little feet, choker necklace on her neck, and black earrings in her ears. I slipped a bracelet on her wrist as she girls were called up to the stage.

"Now, Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being such a patient audience tonight, now to announce the winners and runners up, Becky Lynch!" A woman stepped up onto the podium as all the contestants lined up.

"And first place for the three year olds category is, Paris Pierce!" She cheered. I beamed as Paris got a large crown placed on top of her head, a sash around her shoulder and a bouquet of red roses in her arms.

"And second place for the three year olds category is..." I felt my baby move inside of me, so i zoned out. I looked down at my large bump and smiled. I gasped quietly as a felt a kick in my abdomen. I smiled a little, biting my lip as i moved my shirt up a little and almost screamed in excitement as a little foot could be seen.

"Oh my god. My baby" I said, the sight almost bringing me to tears. I stroked the tiny foot as gently as possible, as it stuck out more, almost feeling the heartbeat of the life inside me.

I quickly took a picture of the foot, before it was gone. I smiled softly, placing a hand on my stomach.

"Three more months and i'll be able to see you're face for the first time little one" I whispered, finally bringing my attention back to the screen before me. Only now did i realise Melody and Heidi's section was up. Neither of the girls had won, but Heidi had came 2nd and Melody 3rd.

"Mommy! All three of us got prises!" Melody beamed as the trio came towards me, Caspar and Jamie following a few feet behind them.

"I know, i saw, baby girl" I smiled "How about you three get changed into normal clothes then we can go home, okay?" I asked. They nodded and took off their tiara's, sashes and bouquets and got their last things out their cases. My three daughters quickly changed and i wiped off all their make up.

Paris, Melody and Heidi packed up their clothes and prizes and stuffed them into their large suitcases. Jamie held Paris on his hip as she was almost sleepwalking, so Caspar held her suitcase on the promise of a larger desert when he went out to dinner with me and Amy. Melody and Heidi held each other's hand as we walked out of the venue. There were a few paparazzi there, but we ignored them and walked over to our large car. The suitcases were placed in the back whilst the girls followed Paris' lead and got really tired really fast.

Jamie quickly drove us home and knowing i couldn't lift anything heavy, one by one, he put them all to bed.

"So when will you two be back?" Jamie asked me once i walked into the bedroom to retrieve a outfit for my dinner.

"At around nine. Will you be okay looking after the kids for around three days?" I asked him.

"Why Darlin'?"

"I have a custody thing for them all with Anthony and Rachel. Me and Heidi gotta go to the UK, where Anthony's living at the moment" I answered.

"When?"

"Eleven" I answered

"And you didn't think to tell me?!" He asked, angry.

"Don't you raise your voice at me James!" I said louder than him "The children can hear you, and the reason i didn't tell you is because i found out this afternoon" I said, my voice calm.

"Fine. I'm sorry. I just don't like you going to him without me there, especially when your in your condition"

"He won't kill the baby Jamie. He's clean now. I understand why your being protective of me and the baby, but it's going to be fine. Look, i'm going to have a quick shower. Would you mind packing a bag for me and phoning the security by the time me and Caspar get back?" I asked him, trying not to argue any more.

"Sure. I'm sorry baby. I just don't want anything to happen to you or baby Hardy"

"I know you don't, neither do i. But it's going to be okay" I said, grabbing a dress, leggings and underwear and heading into the bathroom.

After my really quick shower, i changed into my clothes and brushed out my hair and put a little make up on, before walking downstairs and seeing Caspar standing in front of the door.

"Ready?" He asked me.

"Yeah, let's go" I said as we left the house, got into my red sports car and drove off into the Portuguese night.

After around 15 minutes, we were at the restaurant where Amy was waiting for us. I smiled at her and stopped the car in a space. We both got out and i grabbed the keys.

"Hey girl. Hey buddy" She said, awkwardly hugging me and kissing my son on the cheek.

"Can we go in mommy? I'm hungry" Caspar said to me. I laughed as we walked inside to the lobby.

"Hi there, do you have a reservation?" A brunette woman asked us.

"Hardy. Table of three" Amy answered.

"Go right ahead" We did what we were told, going inside the elevator and into the restaurant. We were seated next to the window, much to my son's delight.

Me and Amy immediately started talking about what happened with Trish and Jeff, and how it ended. I knew there were still a few questions that needed to be answered.

"Mary-Rose" I swallowed vomit at the name. She's in a insane asylum in India now, so she can't bother us any more "She said you killed her brother. You were pregnant with twin girls when you were younger, how it that possible?" She asked. I sighed. This was a hard conversation.

See, i didn't tell anybody, not even Anthony or Olivia. I was pregnant with triplets. They must have had different fathers and two eggs were released. One of them just disappeared. I asked so many specialists about it, when i was on tour or nobody was in the house. I asked how it happened just after i gave birth to the twins. Nobody can explain it. After the triplet, which was a boy, disappeared i told the world it was twins, until i had the miscarriage. Then i lost them all. I had blood tests run on them all. Two girls and one boy. Hell, i even pushed the boy out of my head for years, but there was always sometimes, I'd dream about him. I guess that was what the girls meant when they said 'we want to see our brother' in my dream.I haven't told anybody about it. I made the doctors never talk about it. How did 'she' know about the vanishing twin?

"It's called vanishing twin syndrome. Nobody can explain how it happened. Either 'he' impregnated me with triplets and one of them just disappeared, or i miscarried him too and just mistook it as a heavy menstrual cycle" I lied "See, sometimes people think there having twins, but only one shows up in the scans. Some people think there having triplets, but only two show up on the scanner" I sighed.

"Mommy, what are you talking about?" Caspar asked, fingering a small bowl of grapes he had in his hands.

"Eat your fruit honey, nothing to worry about"

It was why i was so ecstatic to have a boy when we thought only Caspar was coming. Amy's the only person i've told about my little boy. Rylan Jacob Bright. He's where he should be. With his grandparents and sisters.

After our nice dinner and Caspar's bigger desert, we were home. Heidi was changed into lazier clothes, i soon followed. Jamie had packed up some clothes for me and soon enough, Bill and Rick were here to take me and Heidi to the UK.

After a three hour and fifteen minute flight in first class, i had to drag a practically sleeping Heidi into our Hotel suite. I barely had her bathed and changed into some PJ's before she fell into a deep sleep in her large bed.

But the next day would change my life forever.

Me and Heidi were driving down to the little place Anthony had bought. Heidi was nervous yet exited to see her father. It wasn't big. Far from it. It was a two bedroom, one bathroom tiny cottage in Somerset.

Heidi knocked on the door once i was sure that Bill and Rick were following us. He answered the door. Smiled at his daughter, sent a shocked glance my way and towards my large bump. I placed a protective arm around my baby and Heidi as we were allowed entry into the living room.

"W-would you like something to drink?" He stuttered, shell shocked to see me standing at his doorstep with his biological and my adopted daughter.

"Milk please!" Heidi requested.

"Iced lemon tea. Two sugars" I answered, confused at why he was so shocked to see me here. Yeah it's been a while and i'm with somebody else, but damn.

"And for the men?" He asked, almost shy.

"Water would be great, son"

"Coffee. Black, one sugar"

He went into his tiny kitchen for a few minutes whilst i awkwardly looked around the tiny room. He came back and handed me a glass and Heidi a bottle. He gave the men their drinks and stared at me a little longer, eyes landing on my unborn child.

I was confused when i heard footsteps nearing us. He lived alone, right?

"Baby, who's at the door? Rachel?" The voice, now recognised as female, asked. But it was familiar to me. I hadn't heard it in a while, but i knew it. I looked at the petite blonde with pale skin, ripped jeans and white and red striped tank top as my blood ran as cold as the tea was in my hand.

My ex-husband Anthony Connor Pierce was dating my own sister, Marie Olivia Bright.

~Immediately After~

~Kitty's POV~

I stood up, eyes wide. No, she can't be. My sister was not dating my ex-husband. This all has to be some sick joke, right? Anthony and Marie were not dating, we're they?

"Kitty" My so called sister breathed "Kitty, i, oh my god" She breathed again, hand starting to shake as it outstretched towards me.

"Are you two, together?" I questioned, needing to know for the sake of my own sanity.

"Yes" She breathed, looking towards the floor.

"Auntie Marie!" Heidi cheered, starting to walk over to the blonde, before i stopped her with a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"No baby" I softly scolded, bringing her back towards me.

"H-how could you?" I whispered.

"We love each other" Marie said, looking down. I shook my head in disappointment, anger and hurt.

"This was a bad idea. We should go" I said, desperate to leave, until my ex grabbed my arm loosely.

"No. We don't want Heidi dragged into court. We finish this now" He said. As much as i didn't want to admit it, he was right. We had to finish this.

"Bill, could you take Heidi into another room? I don't want her seeing this" I said.

"Sure boss" Bill said, taking my adopted daughter by the hand and taking her into another room. Rick stayed put.

"Where is she?" I asked him, meaning Rachel.

"She's on her way" He said, leading me to take a seat. I sat down, Anthony next to me, as my sister brought out a white box from underneath the table, full with books and paper.

"Let's get this started then" I sadly said, never thinking that I'd be here with my ex husband working out a custody agreement with our children. As a young girl, before mum and daddy died, i always thought I'd get married, have children and grow old together. Never this.

~ 2 Hours Later ~

"I want fifty-fifty custody Katrianah" He said after two hours of frustrating conversation.

"You can't have fifty-fifty custody Anthony" I said to him, frustrated and exhausted, running my hands over my face. "There in private school now, only got a month left, before we're going to move to Montana, where there going to continue to go to private school. I refuse to have them go to private school one week, then home schooling the next" I said.

"What's the harm in that?" He asked, playing dumb.

"There going to be messed up" I exclaimed "It'll confuse Paris especially. She's three years old Anthony. I can't and won't put her through that" I said, calming down. Stress isn't good for my unborn baby.

"I know" He sighed "We're never going to come to a agreement are we?" He asked.

"At this stage, no. But we need to. You're still there father, you get to see them. Beside's, with a newborn, i'll need to to take them spontaneously" I said, placing a hand on my bump.

"How far along are you?" He asked.

"Twenty-seven weeks. Due September fourth" I said, smiling a little.

"Good. i'm glad you're happy now" He said, looking at my ring finger, where the engagement ring Jamie had placed on around nine months ago.

"I am. Can we get back to work now?" I asked, trying to change the conversation.

"Sure. Since i can't have them every other week, how around every holiday?"

"Hell no. I'm spending time with my kids when there on holiday" I said.

"Yeah, with a newborn, you'll be really good at that" He said sarcastically.

"How dare you?!" I shouted, standing up and staring him down "I can provide them a better life than you! I've got millions! Our new house is almost finished in Montana, built from scratch! You're a recovering drug addict who's sleeping with there aunt!"

"I've been clean for nine months! We've only been together for four. So what if you're one of the highest paid performers in the world?! Money can't buy happiness!" He shouted, standing up so we were nose-to-nose.

"Right you two. Break it up. Calm down. Settle, get back to work" Rick said, pushing Anthony away from me.

"Fine. You cannot have them every holiday. That's unfair to me and them. What happens when i take my family to god knows where for the summer?! They'll be upset they can't go!" I said, knowing that's how it would be.

"Look. I have an idea. You get us a house a few hours away from where you will live. "I scoffed, but he ignored me and continued "I'll get all of our money rounded up. We'll pay for the bills, decorate it however they want it to be decorated. I'll have them every other holiday. That way we still get to see them when there off school. Okay?" He said, trying to negotiate. It sounded good, but there were so many problems with it. I shook my head.

"You don't know how to take care of four children Anthony" I sighed, exhausted and craving something salty "I'll buy you a house around Montana. You and you're mistress save up, furnish it and pay for bills. They normally have one week breaks every month or so. I'll have them for the Saturday, then say Paris and Heidi make the trip up on the Sunday and stay until say the Wednesday. Michael and Melody make the trip up on the Wednesday. Then you and Marie can have them all on the Wednesday, Paris and Heidi come back to me on the Thursday, then Michael and Melody make it back to me on the Sunday afternoon. We can change it every week, so you can have the twins on Sunday to Wednesday, then Paris and Heidi until the Sunday. But then you'll have to deal with Paris' spinal injections on Thursdays. So you and i have them equally. When there in school, after homework's done, you and Marie can video chat to them all every night. Okay?" I said, happy to have something done. Anthony wrote what i said on a piece of paper.

"Okay" He said "Deal?" He asked, extending a hand out to me.

"Deal." I smiled, shaking his hand.

Just as i finished speaking, a Hispanic woman came through the doorway. She smiled at me and Anthony as we spoke. Must be Rachel.

"What about Heidi and Rachel?" He asked. Damn. Boy's always gotta make problems.

"She can see Heidi one Saturday of every month, as long as she follows a routine" I said. Rachel nodded and smiled again.

"Excuse me, does that mean i can spend a little time with her now? It's just that i have a long drive ahead of me and we need to discuss things?" Rachel said, speaking alot differently than when i saw her around nine or ten years ago. More grown up and mature.

"We need to discuss things now. You can spend time with you're biological daughter in around ten minutes" Anthony said. Rachel nodded and sat down next to me.

"Me and my children, including Heidi, are moving to Montana in around one or two months. If you can get you're passport all ready and finish up financial things, i can rent you a apartment near where we will live and you can spend time with her at least every Saturday" I said. Anthony nodded.

"What about her father?"

"I'm getting him a place around Montana, so you don't need to worry about that" Anthony nodded.

"Where would i live?"

"In a apartment in a village where we would live, say great falls?"

"All right. It's just that i take care of my elderly mother and my young son. So, how would that work?"

"We can get you a three bedroom house. It's not a problem, as long as she's in a routine and all that. She knows i'm not her natural mother, you are, so she should be okay with that" I said. Rachel nodded and shook my hand.

"I'll inform my lawyers of this. No need to go to court. Could i see Heidi now?" She asked me.

"Of course. Rick, can you show her where Heidi is?" I asked my long lost acquaintance.

"Sure" He stood and lead the Hispanic woman out of the tiny room. I looked at Anthony as he handed me a piece of paper with all the details on it.

"Now that that's all sorted, we still need to end things" The raven hared man said to me.

"How so?"

"We never said goodbye. I have lingering feelings for you, as i'm sure you have for me" He stated. I nodded.

"I still care for you, Anthony. We were married, we have children together. I know you didn't mean to turn out how you did towards the end of our marriage. I can forgive you for that. We were together for years. It's not something i can just forget about" I honestly said.

"I know how you feel. Everything i love in you, i see in Marie. I know how you feel about me being with your sister, but i just can't explain it" I smiled sadly. I moved on with Jamie, and i can see how much love he had for my sister, and as hard it is to admit it, if they want to be together, they can.

"I know. It's just like it was when we first met because of Olivia" I chuckled.

"She's amazing. I know that's not all you want to tell me or ask me. Just ask, i won't get mad" He smiled at me, just like he did all those years ago.

"Jamie was there father for the near three years you missed out on. Me and him have spoken about this alot, and we both agree that we want the children to have hyphenated last names. Pierce-Hardy." I said, knowing he wouldn't get mad.

"I agree" He said coolly. "He was the father i couldn't be for those years. He deserves that" I smiled.

"Thank you"

"Any time. I hope we can be friends" He asked.

"We can. Just like we were when we were younger"

" I still love you Kitty" He said. I smiled sadly.

"I still love you too. But that chapter of the book is over now. I'm with Jamie. You're with Marie" We both smiled sadly.

"So Jamie, is it awesome?" He asked me. I laughed.

"It is. He adores me, and i him. Our baby is almost due, that makes us a family. He holds us together" I smiled at the thought of my baby.

"It's a boy?" He asked me.

"I think it is. Mother's instinct" I chuckled "What about you and Marie?" I asked.

"She's sweet. I love her. We won't get married or have kids though. I can't confuse ours. We might adopt when the children are in there teenage years" I chuckled.

"I'm glad we sorted this out Anth" I smiled.

"Me too. I'll always be there for you"

"Me too."

~3 Days Later~

~Amy's POV~

I was helping Kitty and Jamie pack up their stuff for the move to Montana in a few weeks, since they were out picking some stuff out for the wedding. We were shipping their things up into their new house since it would be trouble enough getting the people all the way over to Montana.

Me, Matt, Trish, Jeff, Gilbert and Ruby have requested and have been granted houses in Kitty's grounds in the US, and we'd been packing up stuff since she and Heidi had came back from the UK.

Since she owned seventy-five percent of a popular music producing record label, it was easy for her to get our little homes settled. After my fellow pregnant woman had told the children of their new custody agreement and they'd gone to sleep, all of the adults had worked throughout the night in planning where to put the houses and where the things were going to be put.

My awesome future sister in law and her half sister had booked the best builders in the country, so the foundations for all three houses and cables had already been layed, i'm forever great full.

Just as i fixed my black maternity pants and white shirt, something caught my eye that i hadn't packed into the box. It was a medium sized, solid gold, vintage jewellery box.

Curiosity coursed through my veins. I undid the old, gold clasp and gently opened the box's lid. What i saw shocked me.

There was a little picture of two people, they looked so happy. I gently put it on the floor and saw another picture. There was a girl with tousled brunette hair, dark iguana blue eyes and pale skin. She looked familiar, then it clicked.

It was Kitty.

I smiled a little. She was a beautiful child. I turned it around and what i saw confused me.

After it all happened. After i was left alone with him. After i was saved.

I blinked a little. I grabbed another picture. It looked like it was around a year older. When Kitty was a year younger.

The girl had dirty brown hair, hair messy, red rimmed, swollen eyes. Her pupils were dilated, making her eyes almost seem black, there were tiny rings of blue, green, grey and brown however, so i knew it was her. Her skin was pale , blood smeared around her face. She had two black eyes, a busted, probably broken nose and her teeth were chipped, some missing. Her lips were swollen, tiny bite marks masked the inside of her mouth. There were bruises all over her face, some faded, some fresh. I looked farther down. There were blood red bruises on her neck and throat, some turning purple and black, blood smeared in some areas. There were deep nail marks in the sides of her neck.

She'd been choked.

I gagged as i removed the small picture from a silver clasp, revealing a body shot of Kitty. She wore a short, white dress with vintage lace around the area between her shoulders and neck. There were bruises around her arms, along with some deep, red welts. The crimson lines stroked across her biceps and down her arms. Her nails were long, chipped, damaged and dirty. She had nail marks around her hands and deep purple marks across her wrists.

Her arms were skeletal thin, hands and face matched. The dress she was wearing was covered in blood and other coloured stains. I didn't even want to think about what these substances were. The most blood was around her abdomen and between her legs. Her legs had the worst of it.

There were blood trickling down towards the floor. Her legs were skeletal and had deep purple welts, practically black bruises and pale skin.

I kept looking at her eyes. Those deep, mystical eyes were so, so sad.

It hurt me to think of her like that. Clearly she was abused and miss treated as a child.

I put down the pictures before i cried or threw up. There were a few newspaper article cut outs there, all matching one specific story. The arrest, murder, and mistreatment committed by Russell Bright. I took out one of them and started to red.

Earlier this morning a man who goes by the name of Russell Bright was arrested on 1st degree murder of his terminally ill wife due to a gunshot wound to the chest, inappropriate acts of his two daughters Katrianah Bright and Marie Bright, and physical, mental, verbal assault on the minor girls. He is also charged with false imprisonment of his daughters and of 1st degree child abuse. He has been taken into police custody and is currently waiting trial.

I read article after article, they were all about the same things. Only a few were about her miscarriage when she was seventeen, around three were about when she was shot around nine years ago. I knew she had a rough childhood, but i never thought for one second that it was this bad. I only thing i saw wasn't related to drama or tragedy was a few roughly sketched lyrics on ripped pieces of paper.

As i heard foot-steps nearing me, i quickly put all the papers and pictures inside the antique box and went back to packing, trying to convince the mystery person that i wasn't doing anything wrong.

"Amy? Are you ready to have some lunch Darling?" Ruby asked me as she saw me. I stood up and nodded, smiling sweetly.

"Now, what does the little one fancy for food?" She asked me, i giggled.

"Pancakes with blue berries and fake sausages!" I blurted without meaning to. She nodded as if i had said something like chilli cheese fries. My mother in law placed an arm around my waist as we walked, with her smiling softly, and me trying to forget my sister's past.

~4 Weeks Later~

~Kitty's POV~

I woke up strangely early. With a quick glance out the window, it proved that it was still dark outside. I yawned, placing a hand on my seven month old bump, the baby won't stop moving and squirming around.

"Baby, let momma have some sleep. I'm exhausted after yesterday" I yawned. Yesterday was Heidi's ninth birthday, a week before that was the twin's birthday. We went shopping for gifts and then saw a movie, before spending the rest of the week at a spa hotel. We got back late last night, so i'm really tired.

I glanced at the clock and grimaced at the sight. 4:24 AM. A strong craving suddenly hit me, as well as a few sudden braxonix contractions. I grimaced. We're never having more kids.

A groan sounded from my chapped pink lips. I rolled over like a tortus on it's shell until i was sitting up straight. I slipped on my robe and slippers and petted Alexis as she jumped next to me, Lucas coming in from Melody and Heidi's room.

"Hungry you two?" I asked my eleven year old dogs. We're still trying to breed them. Hopefully it's going to be soon, but not too soon. I want my baby to be born first. Alexis groaned, rolling onto her back.

"Back pain sucks, don't it girl?" I asked jokingly, knowing how she was feeling.

"Come on, mommy's hungry" I chuckled, before getting up and waddling over towards the door. Only a week left in this place, then we can go to Montana. I'm so exited about my dream home. Even though the ranch back in the US was my dream home and i still rent it out, this is going to be better than the first home i had my myself.

We waddled over towards the kitchen, where i heard a commotion in the kitchen and living room. I glanced around my dark, packed up villa, the dogs behind me, and slipped on my glasses.

"Hey Darlin', sorry we woke you up" Gilbert's gruff morning voice said to me as i entered the kitchen.

"It's okay" I whispered quietly, eyes half lidded. He chuckled and hugged me.

"How's my grandchild doing this fine morning?" He asked me.

"Baby Hardy won't let momma sleep" I chuckled, exhausted and craving strawberries, cream and pretzels.

"Hey baby, why are you up this early?" Jamie asked me in his deep voice. I rolled my eyes and walked over towards the tea maker.

"You're future child is nocturnal" I joked, grabbing a little pot of coco mix and placing it in the machine.

"I bet he is" He chuckled as the sweet mahogany liquid filled my tea cup. I took a sip of it, whilst Gilbert choked on his coffee.

"It's a boy?" He asked.

"We think it is. We don't know for sure yet" Jamie clarified as i opened the fridge.

"Cravings?" Matt joked as he suddenly walked inside, holding little Isabella in his arms.

"You bet" I giggled tiredly, taking out the red berries, whipped cream and salty pretzels from a near bye cupboard.

"Hey, can you take the little princess for today? her daycare is closed for the summer and we don't have child care" Matt said, passing me the almost two year old child.

"Sure" I chuckled "I'll just put her back up to bed" I quickly did what i said after Matt put her backpack on a chair. I waddled over towards my bedroom, slid her into the warm bed and waddled back towards the boys.

"Tired?" Matt joked as my eyes were half lidded again.

"Shh" I said, suddenly exhausted as i placed a finger over my lips, wanting him to be silent, not just for me but for the children sleeping upstairs.

"Oh, kids still sleeping?"

"Yes, it's five in the morning," taking a strawberry and biting into the sweet fruit.

"I don't know how you can eat this early" Matt joked

"I'm pregnant" I giggled "Besides, when you three get back, you'll want a full fry up with all the trimmings." They all nodded enthusiastically, making me giggle.

"Hey, where's Jeff?" Jamie asked, noticing his sibling wasn't there.

"Still all snuggled up with his wife in bed" Matt groaned. He still wanted to be sleeping.

"Right then, should we let the pregnant woman get back to sleep, and us towards the doctor?" Gilbert smiled.

"Sure." With that, they all left and i walked outside with my strawberries, cream, pretzels and coco. I settled into a sun bed and started to eat slowly.

As i watched the sunrise over this beautiful house, i soon came to wonder if some specific people were doing the exact same thing a million miles away.

I didn't sleep after that. I couldn't. Thoughts about the entire day travelling to Montana were running through my head. It's a nine hour plane ride from here to Montana, then a two hour drive in the colder parts of Montana, then a four hour train ride, then another three hours in a car, then we'll be at the house. I guess i'll have the kids sleep through the rides, and just wake up throughout the times we have to walk. I just hope my baby can handle it.

Before i knew it, i heard three alarms start to blare simultaneously, signalling that it was seven am. Time to get the kids up.

I groaned, feeling yet another braxonix contraction as i climbed up the stairs. After a quick shower, i threw on a comfy outfit and saw Michael, Melody and Heidi dressed in their uniforms, eating cereal and orange juice in the kitchen, Katie was fixing up Paris' tie.

"Morning mommy!" Paris beamed as she saw me.

"Morning baby, are you exited for your last week of school?" I asked her.

"Yes momma! Then we get lots of time off! Then we go up to big house by auntie Olivia and uncle Ben!" She cheered.

"Then you'll get to see Daddy alot more too" I reminded her.

"Oh yes. Daddy too" She nodded as i put her down to eat her toast and cranberry juice.

"Momma?" Melody asked me as she sipped her orange juice.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Why are we moving? I want to stay with my friends. I want to keep living here. Not Montana" She frowned.

"Listen," I sighed "I know moving schools and friends is hard. But you can always keep in contact with them through face-time and letters. We can't stay here any more. The lease is up and there's a better house in the US waiting for us to live in. Okay?" I asked.

"What's in it mommy?" My daughter's twin asked me.

"Well, there's a big pool, a sandy beach, a rocky beach, some mountains, a massive tree house, a few boats, a big lake, a waterfall, two jacuzzis, you all get a big room each, there's a massive kitchen, you get a bathroom each, Heidi get's a art room, Michael gets a acting room, Melody gets a music room, Paris get's a dance room. There's a yoga studio, grampa Gil and Grandma Ruby will be there, so will uncle Jeff, auntie Trish, uncle Matt, auntie Amy, so are all there children. You'll go to a new school and make lots of friends. Plus we can't just not go guys. We have to go, but i know you'll like the house" I tried to say. There's no way in hell we're just not going. Even if i have to physically drag her on the plane myself.

"Yeah Melody" Heidi teased "Stop being mean to mommy. She's gotten us a nice house that's going to be better than this one. I'll lift you up and carry you to the plane if i have to. I can't wait to go mommy" Heidi smiled, scolding her half-sister. Melody frowned at her.

"But what about our friends Heidi? Why do you want to leave them?" She asked as i grabbed a bagel and filled it with fake ham, scrambled eggs, cheese, chives and radishes. I sipped a glass of iced water as they talked.

"We're not. Like mommy said, we're going to see them on the internet and we can write to them. We're going make new friends at our new school" She simply said.

They continued bickering until i felt a little sick, so Katie took them to school and pre-school. I got a little tired before Amy came to pick me up for our days out. We did it every week. We'd go get our ultrasounds done, get a ton of candy then spend the day talking about baby things. We've even picked out names. If my baby is a boy I'd like it to be called Jayden Oliver Hardy, and a girl I'd like Angelina Rose Hardy. Amy wants Daniel Christopher for the boy and Kylie Madelyn for the girl.

After we got our pictures of our unborn children, and got a load of candy, we spent the day lounging about with Isabella. It's amazing how much love and friendship i've found in the past two and a half years, and this baby is just going to be my world

~Kitty's POV~

~The same afternoon~

I sat down on the floor of my bedroom, packing up the rest of my stuff into boxes, ready to be shifted. I only left a few outfits, jackets, make up, shoes and hair stuff. I've spend the whole day searching for places for Anthony and my sister to live. It still hurts to think of my own flesh and blood falling in love with the man i once called mine. But i can't expect them to be alone and single for the rest of their lives. As much as it hurts me, i have to move on from him, just like he has to move on from me.

We've became the friends we once were, i'm so glad about that. It's ironic that we became closer each time i was pregnant. Still nobody knows about Rylen, and nobody will know. I had tests run on their DNA when we were back in the UK, i finally have the anwers i was looking for for all these years.

~Flashback~

"Well Miss Bright, it appears that Father number one is Mr Hardy, correct?" The middle aged man asked me as i sat in his office.

"Yes"

"And father number two is Mr Stuart, correct?"

"Yes, doctor"

"Baby number one that we saw on the ultrasound when you were a teenager was a girl. We'll call her..." He trailed off, wanting me to reveal to him the name i had picked.

"Nicole" I answered, a cold knot forming in my stomach.

"And baby number two that we saw on the ultrasound when you were a teenager was also a girl. We'll call her..."

"Brianna"

"Baby number three that we saw on the ultrasound when you were a teenager was a boy. He was conceived a little earlier, say around two months. We'll call him..." He trailed off again.

"Rylen"

"Okay miss Bright, Nicole and Brianna's father was Mr Hardy, and Rylen's father was Mr Stuart. I'm truly sorry that you had to go through that at such a young age, miss"

~End of Flashback~

I had finally got the answer i was looking for. Rylen Jacob Bright is no longer a secret. He's a spirit up in heaven with his Grandfather Russell Tomas Bright and his grandmother Melody Juliet Bright. He is with his sisters Nicole Elizabeth Bright and Brianna Hope Bright.

To tell you the truth, i would've had a hard time bringing Rylen into the world. I don't think i could've seen Nicholas' child grow up. Maybe Rylen would've turned out like his biological father, or how his grandfather turned out when his grandmother got ill.

At least i have closure for that part of my life, and the memories to keep me alive.

~Flashback~

I walked through the dimly lit graveyard at the dead of night. Bill beside me as we walked down towards the five graves i knew. Rick was with Heidi, back at our hotel room. I can't bring her here. This is something i have to do on my own.

As we trudged through the mossy green grass, which was lit by the candles i had asked Bill to light, i saw the five graves that i had missed so much. The candles circled around the five headstones. Nobody was around so i didn't have to worry about being seen. The church we always went to every Sunday before mummy got sick is where i layed them to rest. It was so beautiful, so Gothic.

I kneeled down in front of them. Mum and Daddy's graves were bigger than the children's. That's how they would've wanted it. I delicately stoked my fathers grey marble headstone, seeing the black letters carved into the ashen memorial.

Russell Jacob Bright.

1977 - 2010

Loving Father, Husband, Brother and Son.

I sighed. He once was a loving father, husband, brother and son. But that didn't happen towards the end of his life. I know why he did to us what he did. It doesn't mean he was right to do so, but i'll never forget him. The loving and doting father, and the abusive monster he turned into to.

"Daddy, i'm sorry i haven't been here as much as i used to. I know why you did what you did, and i hate you so much for it. But i also adore you for actually living after Mummy got ill. You could've just turned the gun and be with her for eternity. But you didn't. At least you still looked at us every day, with a hint of what you once were, and for that, i am forever great full. When you saw me when i sixteen, you made me into what i am today. If you didn't do what you did, I'd still be in that hospital, silent and scared. But i'm not any more, and i'm so great full for that. I love you Daddy. Marie is doing good. She's with Anthony now Daddy. I resent her for falling in love with my ex, but everybody needs someone, right?" I chuckled as Bill stood in silence behind me. "Esme's doing good as well. We haven't talked in a while, but i think she's not far from here. She's engaged to a man named Daniel i think. There planning on having a family soon. I wish her the best of luck. Have you heard about the son you never had? His name is Leo. I din't think you ever knew about him. Some couple got your's and mum's things and created him. They died when Leo was just born though, so he lived with his god parents, then with me, then with them again. What are the odds, out of everybody in the world, they picked your wife? I know, mad, isn't it? Well, as you can see, i'm having another baby. This'll be my last child. I think my baby's going to be a boy. He's due in three months. I'm engaged to Jamie. We met just after you joined mum up in heaven. We're getting married just after he's going to be born. I've just bought a new house too. You and Mum would love it if you could've seen it. The twins, Paris and Heidi are really happy. Michael's the spitting image of you, Daddy. He's turning nine next week, just like Melody, who looks just like Olivia and mum. Anyway, the children are well, healthy and happy. I'll try to see you as soon as i can. Bye Daddy. I love you" I whispered, tears running steadily down my face. My baby kicked, making me smile. I looked towards my mother, speaking to her as i know she can hear me.

Melody Patricia James-Bright

1980 - 2003

Loving Mother, Wife, Sister and Daughter.

"Hey mummy. Once again, i'm sorry for not visiting as much as i used to. I'm so glad you put up with what Daddy did to you for as long as you did. You've given me the strength i have now, to get past the things i have done. I know you did. Just like i said, Marie's with Anthony now. I hope she can give him what i couldn't. There not going to tell the children there together, i'm great full for that. Why didn't you tell me and Daddy about Olivia momma? Even so, we've became closer than sisters can be, i helped save her engagement to her husband. She's got two children now mommy. Harriet and Felix. There going to adopt another child when he's born. Her aunt's granddaughter, Kadie, and her boyfriend Robert, are so young. She's fifteen and he's sixteen. Way too young to have a child. She got pregnant around the same time i did, and Olivia's going to adopt him. It's a boy i think, and there naming him Max. Another grandchild to look over mommy" I chuckled, tears steadily flowing, "Anyway, my children are well, turning nine next week, then the week after that, Heidi's turning nine. I hope your happy i named my daughter Melody mommy, she looks just like you. It's amazing. That way i can look at you and Daddy every day, through Michael and Melody. As you can see, 'm having another baby. This'll be my last child. I think my baby's going to be a boy. He's due in three months. I'm engaged to Jamie. We met just after you and Daddy met again, up in heaven. He's the most caring man I've ever met. I adore him. Esme's engaged as you know, Leo's doing great. It's still unbelievable that that couple chose you and Daddy to mother and father there child, out of every body in the world. I hope you continue to look after Brianna, Nicole and Rylen. I still don't know how my first son just disappeared. Nobody does, but i know that he's with you, Daddy and his sisters. I love you Mommy. Bye bye" I sighed, wiping my tears, before turning my head down, looking at my children.

Brianna Hope Bright

Unborn, yet loved daughter, sister, cousin, grandchild and spirit.

"Hey baby B. Sorry mommy hasn't saw you as much i used to. I really wish you could be here to see your siblings and mommy. I'm with your Daddy now. We're getting married. You're little brother or sister knows who you are, and i hope you'll look after him or her. Keep an eye out for mommy and your siblings whilst you sleep. I love you Princess. Bye Bye" I whimpered, wanting to hold her more than anything in the world. The tears got heavier as i turned towards Brianna's twin sister.

Nicole Elizabeth Bright.

2013 - 2013

Unborn, yet loved daughter, sister, cousin, grandchild and spirit.

"Hey Princess. I miss you so much. Sorry i haven't saw you three in a while, but that's going to change. I wish i could hold you in my arms, and see you grow, but i know that isn't going to happen for a long time, until i join you. I'm with your Daddy now, and we're going to get married, just after i have my link to you and your siblings. This baby is mummies link to you and you're spirits. Keep an eye out for mommy and her family down from heaven. I love you baby girl. Bye Bye" I whimpered, tears coating my face.

Rylen Jacob Bright.

2013 - 2013

Unborn, yet loved son, brother, cousin, grandchild and spirit.

"Hey baby boy. I miss you and love you so much. I wish i could've seen you at least once, yet i don't know why you just disappeared. I don't know how that happened, yet i know it was for the best. Your father was a bad man, so i'm glad he didn't have the opportunity to know about you. I hope you never meet your father's family, and i know that will happen as your grandparents will protect you from all harm. Keep an eye out for mommy and her family down from heaven. I love you, my precious boy. Bye bye" I whimpered, tears falling faster than rain as i laid a bouquet of flowers on each grave. I kissed each headstone, whispering a quiet 'i love you' before Bill lead me over to the car

~End Of Flashback~

That day i got what i've been wanting for ten years. Closure. I finally have the answers i wanted, and closure. Now i can move foreward with my life, and still have the memories and dreams to keep me going.

~Amy's POV~

~Meanwhile~

As Matt drove the two of us home, all i could think about was Kitty. How could she keep that secret for so long? Not just from her childhood neglect, from loosing her mother at age seven, from being kidnapped at seventeen, from miscarrying, from being considered 'crazy' when she was younger, when she mad a traumatic disorder, from being shot a few years ago, even from keeping her first son a secret. It's all too much for me to handle.

I need to rid myself of this burden, it's all too much, overwhelming to say the least. But i can't betray Kitty, she doesn't need everybody knowing her business, not when she's not ready. But at the same time, as much as i don't want to hurt her, i cant stress my baby or i out because i know that's what's happening within us. It's just all too much.

All she told us was that she had a rough start in life, i never expected anything like this. I thought she meant that her parents divorced and one or both died. Nothing like this. I'll need to talk to her about this, no matter how much it hurts one or both of us. I need to know, for the sake of my own sanity.

It was all true though. I had red a article that was never published about Kitty. It revealed so much about her. My best friend, future sister in law had had a happy life, up until age five. Her parents had started arguing more and more, whilst her mother had gotten sick with cancer. Her mother died two years later when Kitty was five and her sister was three. Her father couldn't handle the stress of taking care of two children on his own, so he resorted to drink and drugs. He became abusive. Hurting Kitty and her sister emotionally, by saying things to traumatise them, physically, by hitting them with anything he could find. Belts, fists, glasses, knives, feet. There was a report that he'd been doing inappropriate acts with his daughters and almost raping his younger daughter twice, until Kitty stopped him. This continued for around three years, until Kitty's sister was saved and Kitty herself was rescued about two or three weeks later. Kitty spent nine months in different hospitals. One in a normal hospital, and eight in a psychiatric hospital. Since her family couldn't take her in, she went into care, spending five years in one and a few months in another, switching between one home to another due to a fire. Kitty's father broke out of prison and went after Kitty again. She fell off the roof of her care home and spent another month in hospital. She came out a different person. She didn't mind people any more, up until her sister came back. Her sister caused her to relapse and spend around two and a half months in a psychiatric hospital and two weeks living in temporary housing. She went on TV and established her talent, landing her with Jamie. They got together, until Kitty's father killed himself in his prison cell. Kitty was relieved the pain would stop, yet sad that she couldn't see him change. After winning a global competition, Kitty was kidnapped. She spent a month kidnapped where a sick man and woman tortured her, beat her, starved her and raped her, just like he did to Trish. Kitty was saved by Jamie and another boy, where she recovered from her ordeal. Kitty found out she was pregnant and vacated to the US after Jamie had had a affair with a woman. After miscarrying and having one of them vanish, she had got together with another boy and met her long-lost half sister. After her half sister had gotten together with Kitty's friend, Kitty had found out she had a full blooded brother. After establishing a relationship with him, my brunette future sister in law and her boyfriend conceived a child, which turned out to be twins. Kitty's boyfriend proposed, then cheated on her, creating a daughter. Kitty forgave him and they got back together. After giving birth, she had gotten shot in the spine, leaving her comatosed for around two weeks. Kitty gave birth to a surprise baby girl after five years after she awoke, and the two had gotten married, yet separated less than a year later, divorcing two years later. Kitty had gotten engaged to my youngest brother in law and the two have a child coming in around two months.

I sighed. Her life was so complicated and messed up, i just wanted it to stop for her. I wanted to tell somebody what she had been through, but i couldn't betray her.

My husband stole glances at me throughout the trip. He was worried, i could tell. But i just need to think about things. it's hard, but i don't think i can tell him. I feel so bad for keeping things from my husband, but it's Kitty's place if she wants to tell everybody about her past, not mine.

"You doing okay?" Matt asked me, i turned to him, sighed, then looked out the window at the Portuguese scenery.

"Yeah" I sighed. I know i didn't convince him.

"Really?" He asked, eyebrow raised.

"Yes Matthew" I rolled my eyes at his protectiveness. I looked out the window again, seeing dark rain clouds up above. My daughter would be afraid, but Kitty insisted that she keep her overnight, whilst Zachary stayed with Bill and Ruby. Something caught my eye, a white truck. Why was a truck coming down a steep hill?

My eyes widened as i realized what was going on, i opened my mouth to scream for Matt, but found myself rolling down a hill at a fast speed. A sharp pain erupted in my stomach, before my world turned to black...

~The Next Day~

~Gilbert's POV~

Never have i felt such fear. My heart was pounding in my chest. Not knowing if you're child is even alive is killing to a parent. I don't want to even think about what could have happened to my son and daughter in law. I just have to know that there okay. Not Just my eldest boy, or even Amy, but for their unborn child. Nobody knows how they are. I have to find out.

I turn to the left and see Ruby sitting down in a waiting room seat. There were a few nurses around her, trying to comfort her. Ruby's eye's were red rimmed with tears. Her skin was pale and fingers trembling as she wiped water from her eye. I saw her green and white dress shift as she looked into my eyes. Her emerald eyes were a dark jade and full of dread and sorrow.

I released a breath and walked over towards her, placing an arm around her green cardigan-clad shoulders. She sipped a plastic cup half full of water as my wife's body trembled underneath my arm. She started to cry silently, her tears creating dark spots on my dark blue shirt and brown fleece. I sighed and looked towards the nurses.

"Any word on my son and daughter?" I asked.

"Mr Hardy is currently in recovery after a small neck surgery. Mrs Hardy is currently in the maternity ward. Mrs Hardy seems fine, all she has is a few cuts and bruises and a small concussion, and we're just checking how her baby is doing. They should be out within three days" The nurse said to me. I nodded and looked towards my wife, who was quietly sipping her water. I sighed and looked towards the door, seeing my two youngest sons rush through the doors.

"How are they Dad?" Jeff asked me as Jamie sat down next to his mother.

"They should be fine son. Should be out within a couple'a days. You two get back to you're wives" I stated.

"No Dad. This is more important. You two shouldn't be alone" Jamie said to me. I nodded, they were right.

"Why don't we take mother back home to the girls. I'm sure her grand-children want to see her" Jeff suggested. I nodded, looking at her holding her youngest's hand. She shouldn't be here.

"No. I want to stay" She stubbornly suggested. I sighed.

"Mother, you need to get home. You haven't slept tonight. You need to rest" Jamie suggested.

"All right, but please give me some updates. I want to know how my child is." Ruby said, tearing up again.

"Of coarse Mother. I'll take you home okay? You can spend some time with Trish, and Kitty. As well as the rest of you're grandchildren. Come on" He said, holding his hand out "Let's go home" Ruby took his hand reluctantly and stood, kissing Jeff's fore head quickly before leaving me and my second-born alone in silence.

~Kitty's POV~

"Can you take mom home Kitts?" I heard a voice ask as i was standing outside the hospital with Bill and Rick. The braxonix contractions were coming hard and fast, i could barely move. Looking round, i saw Jamie and Ruby standing together, Ruby looking like she'd break down any second and Jamie looking defeated and worn.

"Sure." I breathed as a hard braxonix hit me hard.

"What's up?"

"Braxonix," Bill explained. "I'll take you to the car Mrs Hardy." Bill said, his southern hospitality kicking in every time he saw a woman. As they walked, i started pacing and breathing deeply, a trick i learned when i had the twins. Jamie entered the large hospital again, then it was just me and Rick standing together, the first time we've really been alone since we were in care.

"Can you quiet down? I'm trying to make a important phone call" Rick said, trying to silence me to he could talk.

"No. You listen to me Richard" I said, sick of his coldness and bitterness "Why are you so damn cold towards me? I'm twenty nine years old Rick, pregnant with my fourth child. I'm too damn old for this stuck up kid act. My nine year old kids should act like this, not my thirty one year old security guard who's supposed to protect me. Not insult me and be cold towards me" I snapped.

"You just don't get it, do you?" He said, angry.

"No i don't. Explain" I ordered, ready to fire his a$$ if he got out of line.

"We were younger. Before Marie came into the picture. I protected you in care, in both homes. Nobody hurt you or made you feel sad, because i protected you. When we moved, you're dad hurt you, then i healed you. You said my name when you woke up from the coma. You were in love with me Katrianah, just like i was with you. Then Jamie got you. You loved him too, then never paid me any attention. When Jamie broke your heart, you ran away to the US and we didn't hear a peep from you for months! Years even! Then when you got married, you never paid me any attention! I tried so hard to get your attention that day. To try and make you top what you were doing, when you said 'I do' Mike stopped me from interfering because you were happy with someone else! I wanted to stop the wedding Kitty! I should've because look what happened after that! You should've been with me! Your kids could've been our kids! They could've had a proper dad! Why do you think i got with your sister in care? To make you notice me! Why did you think i kept staring at you in Minnesota? To make you notice me! What's wrong with you? Why are you so blind? Why did you think i did what i did yesturday?! To make you notice me! This is like the longest conversation we've had in over a decade! It's because of what i did to them! I'd have to do this to make you realise what i'm trying to say!" He said, my mouth was wide open, eyes matched. He did this to them. He's the one who did this.

Before i had time to do anything else, Rick Barber grabbed me roughly and crushed our lips together. It was the most passionate, wrongest kiss I'd ever had.

~Kitty's POV~

~Immediately After~

I ripped my face away from Rick's, stunned at what I'd done. I turned furious at what this man had done to me. Extremely angry, i slapped him across the face, hard. I heard his jaw click loudly as he glared down into my eyes.

"How dare you!" I screamed, no longer caring that i had to stay calm for my baby's sake. This had to be done. "How dare you do that to me! I can't believe you!" I screeched. Tears started to fall from anger and betrayal of what the man i once called my best friend had done. I started slapping and punching him, until i felt two dark arms pull me away.

"Kitty! Boss stop!" Bill exclaimed, practically holding me up as i started to break down in hysterics. "What did you do to her?!" He shouted at Rick, who stood back in shock.

"He caused the car crash! He put them in hospital so I'd notice him! He kissed me! Get him away from me!" I cried, feeling my baby start to get stressed.

"You did what?!" I heard a voice shout. My heart stopped. Jamie. I cried in Bills arms as Jamie yanked Rick away, throwing him into a dark corner. Bill pulled us towards them, where i saw a ally as dark as the night. My fiancée was punching my bodyguard in the face and ribs, Rick's eyes were already black and he had a bloody lip. Rick was trying to defend himself as best as he could, but Jamie could be so strong and furious when he wanted to be.

"You tried to kill my brother and sister?!" Jamie screamed in the beaten man's face. "You almost succeeded! You better hope and mother f*cking pray that there going to be okay! And to make matters worse, you kiss my fiancée! What's the matter with you?! Kitty did you kiss him back?!" He shouted in my direction.

"No! No i swear! He kissed me but i pushed him off!" I begged, praying to every god i could think of that he wouldn't leave me because of this.

"I believe her! What's the matter with you, you stupid boy?!" Jamie screamed "Did you deliberately try to break up my family?!" Jamie screamed again, it was a miracle that nobody else had heard him.

"I want her!" Rick hollered back, making me reverse. I know what he does when he wants something. He eliminates everything else to get to it. He tried to eliminate Matt and Amy to get to me.

"Well you're not having her!" Jamie roared "Kitty is mine. I'll die before i let you get your grubby hands on her ever again. She will not be your's, you hear me?! That beautiful woman is my fiancée, mother of my child and from this day foreward, i solemnly vow that you will never touch her again! Now grab you're bloody, sniffling a$$, go find a hole and die in it you mother f*cker!" He roared, before turning our way and striding over towards me.

"Come on sweet heart. Let's get you two out of here" He said, starting me as his voice quietened to the sweet one i was used to hearing. He gently grabbed my right hand and guided me away, Bill following, leaving Rick behind for the very last time.

~ Two Days Later~

Amy sighed, placing a hand on her baby bump, glad her baby was still there, as i was too. I looked at the back seat through the car mirror, seeing Zachary and Gabriella garbling together, as if in conversation. I turned to the left in my car, i glanced at Alexis, who was moaning as if in pain. My heart cracked, knowing how bad it could be at times.

Nobody has seen Rick since the day Matt and Amy were admitted in hospital. He resigned as my security guard, so now i have Bill and my temporary security guard Jake. I don't think i'll ever see Richard Blake Barber again in my life, and i have no objections to stop that happening.

As for Matt and his pregnant wife? Both husband and wife have fully recovered as the injuries were minor, now we were spending as much time with each other as we could, before the move to Montana in a few days. Me and Amy were taking Alexis to the vet as she's been in alot of pain recently, just like we were.

We didn't speak on the drive to the vet, just sat with our thoughts in our mind, never speaking them once. Our silence was broken as i casually sipped on my lime, mint and cucumber smoothie and as Amy ate her potato and mayonnaise sandwich. I just hope that we could overcome this chapter in out lives, and become sisters again.

That seemed easy as two hours later, i walked out of the vets, holding my dog's lead and Zachary's hand, a bright smile on my face. I beamed as Amy laughed, seemingly supprised at the irony of the timing that this happened.

It looks like Gabriella is the only female here that isn't with child.

~A Few Days Later~

I sighed softly, packing up my last suitcase of the now privately owned villa i once called my home. Placing the large check in my purse carefully, i looked at my newly given Kitten, Whisper, who was given to me by Gilbert and Ruby, to thank me for their new home. She slept soundly in her luxury carry case. I chuckled, listening to her purring happily. This was just how lula and loki acted when i first got them.

I glanced over at the figures passing rapidly at my doorway, as well as the paws that accompanied them. Alexis groaned as the painkillers she'd been given started working, as her and Lucas' quintuplets layed inside her. I smiled, knowing that's why she's been acting strange over the past few weeks.

Melody and Heidi pulled their suitcases along, holding hands as their baby sister walked in front of them. I heard Jamie doing double takes in each room, making sure nothing was left behind. Sighing and looking over the now bare room, i picked up my suitcase and my slumbering kitten, before gabbing my pregnant dogs purple lead and walking out of the room, from the past eighteen months of my life's home and into my new life's destination.

~Kitty's POV~

~Around 3 hours Later~

I sipped my warm decaf coffee as Lucas played with Paris. Alexis gently rested her head on my enormous baby bump as we both suffered with back pain and cramps. Baby Hardy and the five baby Bright's grow fast. I looked out of the window, at the six AM sunlight. Whisper snuggled closer to my hand as i stroked her white fur. I glanced at the twins and Heidi, who were sleeping in their seats, hands intertwined and peaceful smiles on their faces. I smiled slightly as a chuckle escaped my lips, this is so surreal, not just my life now, but this whole situation. Everybody from my little family is here, including Jamie's side of the family. We were all talking, watching the children as they interacted together in our rented private jet.

This flight was a gift actually, i did some acting for a film before i got pregnant with baby Hardy, and went to the premier

two days ago, Dusty, the director loaned my the private jet on the promise that i would preform at the following day's award show, which i did.

~Flashback to two days ago~

I yawned sleepily as Jamie held my hand as a limo took us to a movie premier venue. We both looked great and elegant, but i really just wanted to go home, put on some sweats and watch a movie, but i couldn't. This had to be done, the only reason i took this appearance is because i needed to forget about what happened at the hospital a while ago. I'll do anything to make sure that happens.

"I'm so proud of you, you know that right?" I looked at him, confused.

"How do you mean?" I asked.

"You've done so much for us and this world over the past two years. I'm so proud of you, and in less than three months, i can't wait for you to be my wife" I giggled, kissing his cheek softly.

"I love you" I whispered in his ear, ever so quietly.

"I love you too"

"Kitty, look to the left!" I heard a voice shout as the flashing cameras errupted in my face. I kept a sly smirk on my face, which eventually turned into a sweet, half smile which tugged at the right corner of my lips. I turned in every direction slowly, twirling slowly, letting everybody see my $2,000 dress my grandmother had given to me when i had Michael and Melody. She made it by hand, i don't know how i got so lucky to have her in my life.

I let everybody see my diamond engagement ring as i bushed my hair back as Jamie stood to the side. I walked foreward, singing autographs and taking pictures with my fans, before answering questions.

"How far along are you Kitty?" A woman asked me

"Seven, almost eight months" I answered, singing a blonde girls notepad.

"Will you be preforming tomorrow night?"

"Yes" I said, hugging a teenager with black hair as a few more joined in.

"When's your baby's due date?"

"September 3rd" I answered, smiling for a picture for a fan.

"Is it a boy or girl?"

"I don't know, and my baby's not an it" I said, hating when people called unborn children 'it'

"Hat was it like filming for this movie?"

"A lot of fun and a great adventure"

"What would you like to do next, sing soundtracks or act?"

"A bit of both"

"Kitty, where's your new house going to be?"

"Montana"

"Is it just going to be your house? Or are you living by someone special?"

"It's going to be me and my family and we're going to live next to a ranch owner and the director of the film that i acted for two years ago" I answered, walking towards the left.

"Who's the director?"

"Russell Walsh and his wife Melissa, as well as there two daughters Miley, Lily and son Jackson"

"Thank you Kitty"

"No problem" I answered, walking towards the premier theatre with Jamie at hand.

"Everybody, please welcome Kitty Bright!" A voice cheered as i took a deep breath, hearing the backing track sound and I started to sing. This song meant to much to me. I wrote it when i was in therapy, just after i was rescued from Daddy. I had snippets of the lyrics in my great, great grandmothers solid gold box that had been handed down from generations. That was what i trusted Amy to put away whilst me and Jamie were away.

"I remember tears streaming down your face"

"Thank you Kitty. It really means alot that you song the song you wrote for you're sister tonight" Dusty said to me, as he hugged me after the red carpet showing and performance.

"No problem. I'm always here for you when you need me" I said. Dusty was the kind of guy that was a father figure to all his staff and collogues. Working with him over the last little while has been an honour and privilege for me.

"Now, as a thank you, I've booked your family's plane to Montana. As you wished, all the profits and money you earned over the last two nights go to care homes, animals and water aid. It's truly an honourable thing you've done for these people Katrianah."

"It's my pleasure Dusty"

"Kitty" Jamie whispered in my ear as i glanced at him from Alexis' ultrasound and towards my fiancée, who I'd make my husband in about 2 months.

"Yeah?" Tired hormones caressing my body, just like the air was caressing the plane we were sitting in.

"I love you. I'll love you for eternity, until heaven and back. Until the world comes to it's end. For the rest of our lives"

~The Next Day~

~Kitty's POV~

After a long plane ride, a seven hour car ride, me and my little family stayed in a penthouse around a hour away from our new house. It was fun and luxurious, besides, i had to finalise a few things for the children, plus little Hardy was getting ansty.

Anyway, as we drove up the large hill where the houses were, i breathed a sigh of relief, adjusting my shirt which cloaked baby hardy's little home. We reached a luxurious gate, which was my mothers favourite style of gates. I reached out the passenger window and typed in a eight digit number sequence, opening the mahogany gates. Amy gasped as there was a adorable driveway and a large security cabin, where my three new security guards, Jackson, Peter and Christopher, worked.

"Hey boss!" Peter exclaimed as we drove past.

"Hi Peter!" I giggled "You three're stuck with us now. No getting rid of me " I laughed as he smiled, and Jackson opened the other identical gate for us after closing the other one.

"Wouldn't have it any other way Boss. Everything's set up with the houses, water's been freshened, grounds have been perfected and houses've been warmed for you all" He smiled as Jamie started to drive slowly, wanting to get into or home.

"Thanks bud. I'll give you a status report when we're all settled in" I beamed.

"All right. Enjoy your houses" He grinned as Jamie drove into the mossy driveway. He turned right, exposing a sports field. I smiled as a few 'oohs' of amazement occurred in the massive car we'd rented. All the rest of them have been driven into our individual car storage units by our large homes.

"Mommy, is this our new house?" Melody asked, wide eyed as Jamie stopped driving, in front of our seven car storage unit. All of our new and old cars've been placed inside. We'd bought a few more cars for this home. Our couple's car, my car, Jamie's car, our family car and our luxury car.

"All right everybody, let's see our houses!" Ruby said, leaving the car as the rest of us followed. I knew the way around the house, thanks to Olivia's pictures of this house being built, so i lead us around towards the front of my house.

My breath caught, seeing my seven bedroom, eight bathroom built from scratch mansion that i'd longed for, for almost three decades. It was so, so beautiful.

"Mommy, can you let us see our home?" Paris asked me from Gilbert's arms. I nodded.

"Sure, i'll show everybody around" I smiled, waddling over towards the front door and taking out one of the most important keys in my life and unlocking the large, grand door.

I smiled brightly, seeing the stairway in front of my eyes.

"Wow" Michael muttered. I giggled and walked into the right direction, seeing my large, luxury living room.

"It's beautiful Kitty" Gilbert smiled at me, as Jamie took the picture down and exposed a large television. I walked into another part of the house, exposing the kitchen and a little away from that, the dining room.

I lead them over to the other side of the house, exposing the larger library, which had hand pained portraits of my father and grandfather adorning the walls. They always wanted a library for themselves. My grandfather even had a chair made for him to sit in, which now sat as the most comfiest chair imaginable and it was in the smaller of the libraries.

I showed them to a stress revealing room, along with a physiotherapy room for Paris. Next was the bedrooms on the upper floor.

I showed mine and Jamie's bedroom first, with the instruction that the children needed to knock before going inside. Next was baby Hardy's room, which nobody entered. It was locked with a key Jackson had. His wife knew the gender of our baby, and designed his or her room for him or her, with the statement that i have him work no night shifts until baby hardy was eight months old.

Next was Heidi's room. I'd designed it so that it complied with all of the children's likes and dislikes. So on the other side of Heidi's room, she had a load of drawing stuff.

Paris absolutely loved her bedroom. It was cute and girly, just like her. She had a little dancing station in there too, as well as the obligatory doctors office for every Thursday with me.

Melody never wanted to leave her room. It had a cute bed, along with a girly dresser and a musical area. She promised to make me proud with her music, and wanted me and Trish to help her from time to time.

Michael told me, just before i started decorating his room, that he didn't want acting stuff in his bedroom, he just wanted to chill, that's what he got. The style of the bed reminded me of one of the girls in care's bedroom. It made me smile, after i got better, we became really close before she left for NYC and i left for LA. Our bedroom and all of the kids' bedrooms had ensuete bathrooms, the kids' were a little more small, whilst ours was larger.

My personal favourite in the house was the basement. Unlike all other basements where it's really creepy and nobody likes going down there, i made mine fun and interesting. There was a obligatory wash room, the smaller library, a jacuzzi, a massage table, even a sauna and a luxury bathroom. The men loved the entertainment and bar area that was also down there.

After a quick moment showing them the gym on the ground floor, we went up to the attic. The kids were amazed when i showed them the small cinema with extremely comfy vegan leather fold up chairs that stayed underneath the floor, they could be brought up if there wern't enough seats in the room. There was also a 'talk' room up there, which is what would be used if any of the children had a important announcement to make when they were older or if me and Jamie had something important to say to them however old they were. There was a old fashioned office in there too, so one of the children could do important homework in peace.

All the rooms had electronic locks on, which meant that they could only be opened with a specific code, which i could input and unlock the door with a computer software that was in my office. That way i could know where all the children were in the house without them getting lost or running away from somebody and hiding.

However, as great as my new house was, it was nothing compared to the acres of land we had outside.

About two-hundred feet away from the house, there was a old, grand oak tree, it was memorising to the children and adults. This lead to the two miles of forest that was situated and grown over the past hundreds of years. Half a mile away from the start of the forest, was a absolutely beautiful waterfall with a thick rope tied to a strong tree, effectively making a rope swing. Next to it, a wooden staircase lead us up to a path. We took a left first, exposing a solar powered ice box, full of iced teas, iced coffees and a few wines, along with a smaller compartment with glasses. Next to it, lay a adorable patio where you could just sit and enjoy what you had. It was also a place full of no interruptions , so you could either relax of concentrate. This lead to a jacuzzi with a solar powered record player, with a bunch of records sitting near it. Behind it was the source of the waterfall. There was also a basic, tiny cottage, with only a bed, a wind able TV, a tiny kitchen and bathroom.

On the other side of the path, there was a wooden play area, leading to a bridge and a amazing tree house. The house was really amazing. Better than anything i could ever imagine a tree house looking like. The kids didn't want to leave, but we had too. There was still so much more to see.

We walked back up towards the waterfall and had the children and Amy driven in a small, solar powered golf cart and went to the last part of the forest, which lead us to a large river bank and a river that connected our house to the neighbours'. I chuckled as i saw the two boats tied onto the bank. I've always wanted one of those.

As we drove back, i showed the couples to their houses. First was Gilbert and Rubies, which was a three bedroom house, then Matt and Amies, which was a four bedroom, and finally Trish's and Jeff's, which was a five bedroom. The reason that it was bigger was mainly a apology for not noticing the signs about the Mary-Rose indecent.

Gilbert and Ruby had a Japanese style garden, which was the ultimate in relaxation, along with a tea station. Matt and Amy had a cute garden with flowers, and Trish and Jeff had a equally cool and flowery garden.

There were a couple cottages for the staff as well. Sometimes they were scheduled for all-nighters and would be too tired to drive home the next day, so for my part time chef, Kalel, and my new assistant, Maisie, a cute little cottage next to the waterfall. For the security guards, a chalet. All electricity and water could be turned off whenever they wern't being used so it wouldn't cost me anything when it wasn't necessary.

Next to the river and forest was a mountain, which half belonged to me, and half was Russell's. On my half, was a guest house for Anthony or Marie, or friends of the family to stay in when they were visiting us. On top, there was a hammock overlooking the sea, the city and the land. Also, there was a yoga tepee with a solar powered record player.

A little bit away from the mountains when we got back down, was a outside spa, along with a pond. Much to the boys' excitement, there was a sports court with sports stuff that Matt had shipped over.

One of my favourite places to be was the beaches. There was a beautiful sandy beach, as well as a pebble beach. Amy and Trish loved the get away cottage that was standing near the sand.

A while later, we were getting settled into our new homes, where i showed Jeff and Jamie my work space with the promise they could use it whenever they wanted. There was also a pet room for the incoming five dogs. As they were tired, i briefly showed the children the pool that was separating my house from the sandy beach.

Which brings me to where i am now. Finishing my letter to my sister that now calls the man i wanted to spend the rest of my life with hers. Just a page of writing. Telling her what we have in this house, how much it cost and how we'd get the children to Anthony's new house next week.

A quick glance out of the corner of my eye told me that Matt and Jeff were putting the last of the sports equipment into the garage, ready to be taken out for tomorrow. Ruby and Gilbert were fixing up the large trampoline, whilst the children quietly entertained themselves by the large oak tree, talking and smiling.

I released a happy sigh, the slight gust of wind blew my hair back as i signed my letter. Amy put her book that she was reading down and looked at me. I smiled at her and looked towards our family. A curve to my lips as i realised something very important.

After so many years, so many suns, moons and days. I was finally home.
