Normal POV
Chapter 10: Ten Years On
It was Christmas day. Abby and Jack ran through to their mum and dad's room. "Mummy! Daddy! It's Christmas AND it's our birthday! Wake up! Wake up!" they chanted. Their mum and dad laughed and rose out of their beds.
"Come on!" Abby and Jack shouted, dragging their parents through to the living room. Jack, Abby and their parents entered the cosy, warm living room. The living room was surrounded by Christmas presents, small and large. Each one was carefully wrapped and labeled Abby, Jack, Zeke and Taylah. The Christmas tree made the room look sensational and all well...christmassy. A room perfect for a family. Zeke and Taylah's family.
"Come on sit down!" Abby called. Jack was already digging into his chocolate. Zeke sat down beside Abby and Jack and looked around at his house, his wife and his beautiful children. "Oh wait! I better get the camera. Be back in a second!" Taylah said jumping up and rushing through to the kitchen where the camera lay in its camera bag on the table.
"Mummy hurry up!" Abby yelled, impatient. Unlike Jack, Abby liked to wait for her mum and dad to arrive before she opened her presents. Luckily Taylah ran back through with the camera before Abby could start one of her tantrums.
"This is from me and dad!" Taylah said pointing to the biggest two presents. Abby and Jack both attacked the two presents,ripping the wrapping paper off each one as fast as they could to see who won the race. The race was the 'Kinski Race'. Every year Abby and Jack competed in a brother and sister competition of seeing who could unwrap their presents the fastest. To make it more of a competition each year Zeke and Taylah would wrap their presents extremely well with extra tape. There was also never a winner. It was always a tie because Zeke and Taylah were the 'official judges' and what they says,goes. This year was no different. " YAY! Thank you Mummy! Thank you daddy!" Jack chirped happily as he unwrapped his present fastest and unveiled the games console that lay inside.
"YAY! Thank you! I love it!" Abby said, not long after Jack.
"Yeah well the best for our babies on their birthdays and Christmas!" Zeke smiled. He turned to Taylah. "Hard to believe 4 years ago you gave birth to these twins huh?!" Taylah smiled.
" Hard to believe we're getting so old! God...I'm going to be 26 in a couple months!" Taylah worried.
"Aw come on! That's not that bad! And plus you're still gorgeous!" Zeke said, kissing Taylah. Taylah kissed him back.
After the present opening Taylah went into her and Zeke's room for a rest. Christmas was a lot of pressure but at least she knew it was all for a good cause...her children. When Taylah was 17 she would never have thought her future would be like this. She never thought she would be so happy. So in love. She would never have thought following her miscarriage and the rest of her past that her and Zeke would ever make it down the isle, not to mention having twins and living in her dream house. After her unfortunate teen years she went on to get a great job in medicine and became a doctor. Oh and don't forget she gave her and Zeke another chance and when she was well after the bus incident she and Zeke escaped to their new house. When they both got successful jobs Taylah and Zeke moved to their dream house. It was funny how Taylah's dream house seemed to be Zeke's dream house too. Next was the wedding. At 22 Zeke and Taylah walked down the isle and happily married. Shortly after in the wedding hall toilets Taylah discovered she was pregnant. At the time she had no idea it was twins but with Zeke, Taylah felt like she could even handle quadruplets. Unlike her first pregnancy, this one wasn't a shock of horror it was more a shock of delight. As soon as Taylah found out she was pregnant she had ran out of the toilets, told a delighted Zeke and their wedding had turned into a celebration for two things. One, their wedding and two, their baby joy. And now here she was. A successful well-payed doctor with a loving husband and two beautiful children. What more could she ask for? Things had turned around for her now...a lot! You know come to think of it, maybe it WAS fate. Maybe it was fate that all that stuff happened to bring them closer together. Fate rocked at the moment! Taylah decision all those years ago: ' Lets go for it! We CAN make this work, definitely!' - Best decision of her life...EVER!
The End!
