AN:Ok, I know I promised this chapter last week but I had exams to study for. Now I am on Christmas vacation until January 6th, so I would like to get as much as the sequel done as I can before I go back to school. But, I will be busy with family so I am not going to make any promises to when it will be out. Here, is the final chapter of 3 Wonderful Years, please read and review! Also, thanks to everybody who has read, reviewed, or anything to this story. I really appreciate it.

Lilly's POV

When I woke up, I was hoping that I was laying in my bed next to Joe at home hoping this was all a dream...but it wasn't. I was on a bed. Except, I was in a hospital bed. Last night, had to of been the worst night of my entire life.

Flashback

When the guy took me out of the car he brought me inside a house. He drug me by my hair to the couch and taped my mouth shut and tied me up. He then took off his sunglasses and hoodie and revealed himself as Matt Marshall.

"Hello Lillian. I've missed you so much, so I thought I'd bring you back to me." He said. I started crying again and he came up to me and tried to wipe my tears away. I kept moving my head so that he couldn't touch me but instead he slapped me.

"Don't try to push me away." He screamed at me. He pulled something out of his pocket and smiled at me.

"Okay, nod when I ask you a question. If you don't cooperate, I will kill you." He said as he grabbed a gun off the table. "Understand?" I nodded and he smiled.

"Good. Now, I have a picture of something. When I show it to you, nod when I ask you a question." I nodded again. He showed me the picture as I started crying even harder. It was of Joe, Reiley, Aidan,Noah, and I in the hospital after the twins were born.

"Do you love them?" I nodded yes.

"Would you do anything for them?" I nodded yes.

"Do you want them to die?" I looked at him shocked and nodded my head no.

"So...you would do anything to save them from getting hurt?" I nodded yes again.

"Well, then we should go up to the bedroom then." He said as he came over and picked me up. I started shaking my head no and trying to scream at him but I couldn't. He smiled and continued up the stairs. When we get to the bedroom, he took the tape off of my mouth and kissed me roughly. I of course didn't kiss him back. When he pulled away he started taking the tape off my hands.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked him.

"Because I love you and you love me. We belong together." He said.

"No! No! No! No! I belong with Joe." I yelled as the tears started streaming down my face quicker and quicker. He slapped me in the face again and then punched me in the stomach.

"Don't you ever say that asshole's name in my house."

"Don't call him that!" Saying that caused me a punch in the face and getting my head knocked head against the headboard of the bed. He ripped my shirt off and got on top of me again. He started kissing me again and I just kept trying to push him off. Luckily for me, the doorbell rung so he got up to answer it, forgetting that my hands weren't tied up. As soon as he shut the door, I pulled out my cell phone and texted Joe. I was going to jump out the window but it was WAY to high.

Joe's POV

I just layed the kids down for bed and Lilly still wasn't home yet. I went to my cell phone and noticed that I had a new text. I clicked open and my heart stopped.

From: Lilly

matt took me 2 his house. Hes tryin 2 rape n kill me. im upstairs in a bedroom come quick or call cops love you

I quickly called Kevin and Ashley and asked them to come to my house quick. Luckily, they live right down the street. As soon as they got there, I told them I'd be right back and I ran out the door. I didn't have time for explaining.

Lilly's POV

Matt came back upstairs and tried to continue what he was doing. He was unzipping my jeans when the door busted open. I saw Joe standing there with a gun in his hand pointing it at Matt. I let out a breath of relief.

"Get. Off. Her. Now." He said as he started walking toward me. Matt quickly got up and put his hands in the air.

"Woah, dude. Just calm down and put the gun down. I was just trying to have a little fun. Joe threw the gun at the window, causing it to break and the gun to fall out. Apparently Joe, had already called the cops, because three of them came running threw the door and attacked Matt. I got off the bed and ran into Joe's arms. We both started crying as he kept whispering in my ear.

"Shhh. It's all over now."

End of Flashback

After reliving the entire night of events, I looked down and found Joe sleeping with his head on my bed holding my hand. I smiled before running my free hand through his messy hair. He woke up quickly and looked at me. We got to go home two hours later. We walked through the door and found Kevin and Ashley standing by the door with their kids plus mine.

"Mommy!" Reiley yelled as she came running into my arms. I picked her up and started crying happy tears. I hugged her for a few minutes before grabbing Aidan from Kevin and doing the same to him and then to Noah. Kevin and Ashley both got their hugs too. After explaining everything to them and Miley and Nick, they all left and I got in the shower again. When I got out, it was time for bed again. I walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom to find Joe staring up at the ceiling. I climbed in bed next to him and layed my head on his chest. He gently ran his fingers through my hair.

"Joe, whats wrong?" I asked him. He said nothing so I sat up and looked at him.

"Joe?" He looked at me and said "It should have been me." I looked at him shocked and confused.

"What?"

"You shouldn't of had to go through that."

"Joe, it's not your fault. It was j-" I started saying before he interrupted me.

"NO LILLY! IT WAS MY FAULT. I'M YOUR HUSBAND. I'M SUPPOSED TO PROTECT YOU, AND I DIDN'T DO IT." He yelled. He got off the bed and started pacing around the room.

"Joe, please listen to me. This was not your fault and you know what? You did protect me. You came in the room at the right time before he was about to rape me." As soon as I said that he grabbed a candle off the dresser and threw it against the wall. After that, he started punching the wall repeatedly. I got off the bed quickly and ran to him. I grabbed his hands and he collapsed to the ground crying.

"Shhh. It's okay, Joe." I told him as I started crying too.

"I'm sorry. I'm just so sorry." He just kept repeating.

"I know, I know." After crying on the ground for about 15 minutes, I managed to get him up to the bed. We finally fell asleep wrapped in each others arms before...the kids woke up and we started our nightly routine again.
