-Four years later, September 2017, Joy's POV-

So much has happened it five years since Edwin and I tied the knot. As my husband get our three children, Hazel Della, Christian Duke, and Geneva Daisy Jenson ready for the first day of preschool, I became lost in deep thoughts how has time flown by so quickly? It seemed just like yesterday that Edwin and I had vowed to love each no matter what came our way and now our triplets who are three All three had a good mix of our features: they had Edwin's smile and my eyes. On the other hand, Hazel had me nose whereas Christian and Geneva had Edwin's nose. One thing is for sure, they are playful and challenging at the same time. They give love to not just us but all of us (including their doting grandmum, Melanie, and Victoria). They also love to challenge us to chase them (they especially love it when they have Owen chase them and their uncle Wilbur running with them.

Before I get to our story, I want to update you on the others. A few years following our wedding, both Melanie and Victoria have found their happiness. On a trip to visit Jenna in Boston, Melanie met Tom. They clicked and began dating. When Tom met Jenna and Will they both approved of him and it didn't take long before they were engaged and married. Tom was Melanie's match in every way. Victoria, on the other hand, following years of dancing around their feelings, had finally taken the plunge and married Johnny Revere. Our dear Elka is still single and loved dating.

Now back to our story. During our romantic French Riviera honeymoon, we did lots of exploring. Once we got home, I continued education and completed an internship while Edwin continued to do freelance work. After I was done with me internship we decided to start trying for a family. Though I had Owen and in turn Wilbur, I wanted to have a child with Edwin. After two negative results, we kept trying. After a month of trying, still nothing.

We went to the doctor and found out the problem—I had developed fibroids. The doctor and that it is in the best interest of my health not to get pregnant. Edwin and I discussed our options; we could either adopt or start our family via gestational surrogacy. After much discussion, we choose the surrogate route. Edwin and I were about to find a suitable candidate and pay for the procedure when Alaina heard about our struggles. So she volunteered to be a gestational surrogate. Edwin and I were completely floored. Once overcoming the initial shock we thanked her profusely and accepted. Next, Edwin and I went through the process to create embryos that were then implanted into Alaina. It didn't take long and she was soon pregnant.

Over the next several months Edwin and I made to all the appointments including the ultrasound appointments. At the first ultrasound, we heard heartbeats and that they were strong. It was the sixteen-week ultrasound when the doctor announced that Alaina was carrying triplets! Edwin and I were shocked and overcome with happiness. The rest of the pregnancy went well and right at 36 weeks when Alaina went into labor. Edwin and I were in the waiting room with Alaina waiting for the big moment. After waiting for eight hours our children were delivered and before the babies were taken to be cleaned, weighed and measured Edwin and I had skin to skin contact with each of the baby.

Truth be told, with the arrival of our children I could not have been happier. Edwin was the missing piece in me life and made me incredibly happy. He, along with Alaina helped make it even happier.

That part of our lives was going well. The other part of our lives almost didn't go well. The only problem was Edwin almost didn't get his inheritance from his grandfather. Seemed quite silly now but it didn't seem that way back then.

Flashback: August 2013

Edwin and I were outside his grandfather's hospice room about to go in and meet him. His grandfather had been informed of his marriage and had requested to meet I. Edwin looked at I and could see she was nervous. Edwin took me hands into his and said, "Don't worry I know Grandfather Harold will love you. What is not to love about you?"

Right then the door opened and the nurse came out and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Jenson, Harold is ready for your visit.

Edwin and I stood up and hand in hand, we walked in the room and I noticed how cozy it seemed with the wood paneling and a window that let in a bright sunshine light. We walked towards the bed when we heard a distinct baritone voice call out, "Edwin my dear boy."

Edwin and I released each other's hands and he wanted and sat down on his grandfather's bed and said, "Yes grandfather, it is I."

Without a second to pass, Harold asked, "I heard from your parents that you recently got married. Is that true? What is her name?"

Edwin smiled and replied, "Yes I did. Her name is Joy and I met her a little over a year ago and we got married in France. Yes, grandfather, I love her very much, more than I thought I could love anyone."

Edwin and I both saw a smiled on his grandfather's face. He said, "I want to meet Joy. Is she here with you?"

Edwin answered, "Yes grandfather."

Edwin looked over at me and motioned me over. I walked over and then Edwin placed me hand into his grandfather's and said, "Grandfather allow me to introduce to you my wife, Joy Jenson."

I cleared me throat and said, "It is nice to meet you, Mr. Jenson."

A subtle smile appeared on Harold's face. He could tell she was a lovely young woman. However, he did detect a British accent.

Harold said, "Can call me grandfather like Edwin does.

He then asked, "Joy, where in England were you from?"

I replied, "Manchester."

He faltered. He quickly made up an excuse. "Edwin, Joy I am afraid I have to cut this visit short. I need my rest as you know."

Edwin was baffled. This was the shortest visit ever. He thought what is going on?

Edwin said, "Of course grandfather I will come by tomorrow."

Edwin and Joy left. When they were out in the hallway Joy had to ask, "What happened? Was it something I said or did?"

Edwin took Joy's hands in his and brought it up for a kiss and said, "I am sure it is not that but I do need to find out what that happened.

The next day we find out that Harold is considering changing his mind in giving Edwin his promised inheritance. We were all shocked. We asked Augustus, Genevieve, and Alessandro but they all had no idea. So I volunteered to look into his past, with the family's permission (hey, you can never be too careful) and began searching.

As it turned out in 1962 Harold was in his last year of the MBA at Oxford. On a weekend trip, he and two friends went to Liverpool. While there he met and had fallen in love with a beautiful young British woman, Pippa Toms. They were together and though they had been together a short time he had made plans to marry her. However, at the time Harold didn't have his trust fund yet and was on scholarship at Oxford. Since he had no money to his name at the time, her parents made she break it off so that she could marry the man they had picked for her.

What as even more shocking was when I saw the picture of the young woman, it was none other than me own mother, Philippa Scroggs. Before she was married her maiden was Thomson and that her childhood nickname was Pippa. Now I knew why Harold's deposition changed from cheery to sour; he must have been devastated when the relationship ended and had tried to mask his disappointment ever since. Now I understand why me mom was always asking if I had a man in my life, since her experience with me father was not a good one.

Once I explained to Edwin and me in-laws they trusted me in knowing what to do next. So I contacted me, mother. She immediately gets to the point and asked, "Joy, what is going on? Have you got news of some sort?"

I said, "Yes. Do you know a Harold Jenson?"

Silence came and went when Philippa said, "Yes Harold had been me, true love before your grandparents had me marry your father instead. Wait how do you know about Harold?"

I added, "Mum, Harold is your son-in-law's adoptive grandfather."

I then told her what happened when I went with Edwin to meet Harold me mum gasped and said, "Say no more. I am on the next flight out to Cleveland."

I smiled, "Thanks, mum. Edwin and I appreciate it!"

It didn't take long before this whole tangle of a mess was resolved. When Edwin and I saw the look on Harold's face when he saw my mother he smiled and found that I was Pippa's daughter and that he was forever grateful for bringing his true love back into life. Because of that, Edwin was indeed able to secure his inheritance.

I was so lost in that it took three voices to get me out of it. "Momma! Let's go!"

I looked down and saw three cute faces smiling up at me…sigh it is so hard to resist their adorableness. I am going to miss their exuberance for a few hours. What am I going to do? When I saw Edwin I smirked; I knew exactly what I was going to do.

Shaking my head I then knelt down to their levels and each them a hug and kiss and then said, "Well then let's get you to preschool."

This journey of love has truly been the best ever as it had led to my happiness.
