Disclaimer: So I think this is my last chapter but if I get enough hits I might come up with a sequel. I'm not sure it'll be anywhere near as good as this but I'll figure it out. This chapter goes to Maxie Lovett because I feel like it. Thanks for being so great with your reviews!
One year and two months later
Wilfred's P.O.V.
Emma and I returned from our honeymoon just in time to see Amanda off to boarding school. We had left Amanda and London at one of our summer houses just outside of London with a nanny. We had thought it would be a great idea until we got home. That was an interesting site. As we walked in the door London came running down the stairs.
"Daddy make it stop!" she shouted. I didn't even have to ask what she meant. Amanda had figured out some way to make her music blare through the whole house. There was not a room in the place where it couldn't be heard. London ran off to find some earplugs. I turned to Emma.
"Is there even the slightest chance that we can get her to turn that down?" I asked.
"Nope," she answered. "You have to admit though, she has some talent. This place is huge." I laughed. Amanda's choice of music was not like that of other rebellious teenagers. She was listening to the Addams Family musical soundtrack. The song that was playing at the moment was called Let's not talk about anything else but love and it gave me an idea.
"Well then," I said. "If you can't beat 'em join 'em."
Amanda's P.O.V.
I sat in what I had claimed as my room in one of Mr. Tipton's summer houses. I had my music turned up as loud as it could go and I had hacked into the intercom system that the maids used and had it blasting from there as well. The purpose was to simply annoy the heck out of everyone. I didn't like the fact that my mother had married Wilfred.
My mother had told me that this time it had been of her own free will but I didn't believe her. I figured that he would eventually get bored and move on and if I had to wait for that my plan was to enjoy every second of it. The music was just I start.
I decided to see how my music was affecting the rest of the house. As I left my room I noticed that the maids had in earplugs and couldn't hear a thing. The absence of the nanny led me to assume she had gone into hiding. I could hear London complaining to someone down stairs and assumed our parents were back. I snuck around the corner and watched.
Wilfred stopped to listen to the music for a moment and then he and my mother started to dance. At first I was a bit mad that I wasn't annoying him but then I looked closer. I could see a smile on my mother's face. It was big and genuine. I had never seen her happier in my life.
Emma's P.O.V.
I couldn't help but smile as I danced with my husband. Just the sound of it made me smile. We twirled and swayed to Amanda's music for a while and I couldn't even keep track of how long. Then the music stopped. I looked up to see Amanda in her school uniform at the top of the stairs. She had her arms crossed and there was a remote in her left hand.
"I have to go soon," she remarked flatly. "I don't want Ami to beat me to school again this year." She walked down the stairs.
"Well it's nice to see you too sweetheart," I said to her. "We have an hour before we have to leave." She rolled her eyes and continued on her way.
"I get the feeling she's mad about something," Wilfred said. I laughed.
"She'll be fine," I assured him. "Eventually."
Later that day, we were driving towards Amanda's school. Amanda and London were both on their phones. Suddenly Amanda sighed.
"What's wrong sweetie?" I asked her. "Did Ami beat you to school again?" She shook her head and showed me her phone. She had a picture pulled up. In it I could see the front steps of her school, swarmed with reporters.
"That's from my friend Lizzie," she said. "She told me that she asked them what they were waiting for and they said 'Mr. Tipton's new daughter'. I am not looking forward to that."
"You don't have to answer any questions," Wilfred assured her. "Just say no comment." She rolled her eyes and took back the phone. Once we got to the school we had someone take in Amanda's bags while Wilfred helped her pushed through the crowd.
"Will you tell us your thoughts on this marriage?" one of the reporters shouted. Amanda stopped to answer the question and I froze with terror. I knew she wasn't too happy about this but I didn't want her to tell the world that.
"In all honesty I could not be more thrilled," she answered. "My mother is happy and that's all that matters." I was shocked that she had said that. But it didn't end there.
"Given Mr. Tipton's track record with marriages how short do you predict this one to be?" another reporter asked.
"There's something different about this one," she replied. "I think this is gonna last for quite some time." When Wilfred got back into the car he looked at me.
"Do you think she meant that?" he asked. I shrugged.
"Sounds like she did," I said. "But regardless I think she's right about the second part." He smiled and kissed me. I heard London gag and I laughed. Then I kissed him back whole heartedly.
