Unintended Happiness Chapter 14: Aloha, a maximum ride fanfic

Chapter Fourteen- Aloha

I was sitting at the dining room table, Lily was sitting next to me drawing a picture and I was feeding Luke his dinner.

"Here comes the plane." I pretended the spoon was a plane as I put it in Luke's mouth. He smiled and ate it down.

"Mummy, when's daddy getting home?" Lily asked, looking up from her picture. Iggy was half an hour late getting home from work.

"I don't know darling. He's probably just got caught in a meeting or something."

"Oh, I'm just hungry and he needs to start cooking." That was true, even though Ally and Jacob had taken their kids down to the flocks', they'd be back for dinner, probably with the flock in tow, all wanting food.

"Maybe I should start dinner." I said thoughtfully, spooning more food in to Luke's waiting mouth.

"No!" Lily shouted sounding alarmed.

"Is my cooking that bad." I laughed and Lily nodded feverently. I heard the garage door open and the unmistakable sound of Iggy parking. He was home, finally. He came into the dining room with an excited grin on his face.

"Hi daddy!" Lily jumped out of her chair and ran to Iggy. He picked her up and hugged her.

"Hi princess." He kissed her on the forehead and then looked at Luke, who had baby food smeared all over his face. He reached out to ruffle Luke's hair. Luke gave him a big smile in response. Iggy sat down after giving me a kiss.

"How was work?" I asked, scraping the bowl to get the last of Luke's food out and put it into his mouth.

"I've got some good news." Iggy said. "I have been asked to speak at a company conference in Hawaii on the sixth of September. The bosses of the whole company are going to be there and it could really open doors for me."

"Oh honey, that's amazing!" Then I realised something. "Wait, that's the day before Lily's birthday." Lily's eyes widened.

"You're going to miss my birthday!" She exclaimed looking upset.

"No darling, I wouldn't miss that for anything. I have booked us and the whole flock for a week in Hawaii!"

"You are the best husband ever!" I squealed kissing him.

"Hawaii. That's where Lilo and Stitch live, right?" Lily asked and Iggy nodded laughing. "Wow! That's so cool!" I picked Luke up out his highchair and started wiping the baby food of his face.

"We're going on holiday baby." I told him. "It's going to be sunny and we can go to the beach." Luke laughed and smiled. I heard the front door open and the sounds of the whole flock entering the house. Time to tell the flock.

"Hey guys, have a seat, we need to tell you something." Iggy said gesturing to the seats around the table.

"And no. I'm not pregnant." I said knowing that they would probably jump to that conclusion, like the last time we'd had something big to tell them. The flock sat down and Iggy stood up, always one to make it dramatic. He kept holding onto Lily while he stood.

"So, I know you all worship the ground I walk on, I mean why wouldn't you, I'm unbelievably handsome, I'm highly intelligent, I have a kick-ass car and my more recent purchase of an awesome boat."

"Sweetheart, I don't think they'll be able to see Hawaii with your ego in the way." I interrupted him.

"That cut me deep Violet." Iggy said sounding mock-hurt.

"What about Hawaii?" Max asked and the whole flocked looked incredibly interested all of a sudden.

"We're going to Hawaii for my birthday." Lily announced excitedly. "Cause daddy has a con... a con..." Lily looked at me unsure how to pronounce the word.

"A conference baby."

"Yeah, that!" She was such an adorable little girl. The whole flock started talking excitedly. Cue the Nudge channel in three, two, one.

"OMG! Hawaii! It's going to be so awesome, with the beaches and where are we staying? I hope it's a fancy resort with a pool and a spa!"

A couple of weeks later, everyone was packing as it was the evening before we left. I had already packed my suitcase and I needed to get the kids ones packed to but I was having trouble with the biggest kid in my life.

"Ig, you don't need to take your whole office." I told him repacking his bag, taking out the files of paper that he thought he needed to take.

"But what if I need them." Iggy had been nervous about speaking at the conference ever since he'd found out about it. He had spent hours working on the power point and I'd sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and find him muttering the speech to himself while lying in bed. I put my hands on his shoulders and looked him straight in the eye.

"You are going to be amazing; I won't be surprised if they want you to take over the company after they hear your presentation." I pulled him down to kiss him since I couldn't even kiss while standing on tip toes, he was that much of a giant. "You can take the laptop and your cell phone." I told him as I pulled away; I then reached into his bedside drawer and pulled out a certain box. "And remember to bring plenty of these." I said pushing the box into his hand. Iggy grinned.

"I'm serious, we don't want any accidents." I told him as I left the room to go get the kids packed up as I went near to Ally and Jacobs door and heard them arguing.

"Just leave these five pairs here." Jacob said exasperatedly.

"I can't leave those ones." Ally gasped

"What about these ones?" Jacob suggested.

"I need all of them!"

"Prove it." I laughed, loud enough for them to hear me as I walked into Luke's room.
Ally was... enthusiastic about her shoes to put it kindly. I found Luke playing on the ground which he immediately stopped when I came into the room and he got up and hurried over to me, hugging onto my legs. He was such a mama's boy.

"Hi sweetheart." I said as I picked him up.

"Ba ba ba." He babbled. He was close to talking and I would sit with him whenever I got the chance and try to get him to say stuff but to no avail. It was alright though; he'd talk when he felt like it. I smiled going over to his closet to find a bag to put all his clothes in. I put him on the floor while going through his drawers looking what he might need. After getting his clothes all together I sat down beside Luke.

"Baby? Do you want to pick some toys to take?" I asked Luke pointing over to his toys. Luke nodded, understanding me and went over to pick a few toys to take with us. Well that was him done. I let him go back to playing his game and went to help Lily. But as I was walking into her room I found her zipping up her bright pink suitcase. She looked up when I walked in.

"Oh hi mummy, I just finished packing." She looked nervous and stood in front of her suitcase.

"Okay, just let me check it to make sure you've got everything."

"But I've checked." I frowned and cocked my head to one side.

"What are you hiding?" I asked.

"Nothing." Little liar.

"Lily, let me see your suitcase." I told her. Lily gave me a stubborn, steely look for a moment before stepping to the side; I opened her suitcase and found nothing but dolls. "Sweetie you can't take all these dolls. What about your clothes?"

"But I need them all!" She protested.

"You can take five." I said calmly knowing it was the only way to reason with her, she'd start crying and running off to Iggy if I yelled.

"No! I need them all!" She stomped out of the room.

Lily POV

I stormed into Shadow room and sat down next to him on his bed.

"Mummy's being annoying." I complained, folding my arms and scowling.

"Why?" He asked.

"She won't let me take all my dolls." I sighed and then gasped when I saw Shadows suitcase open on the ground, there was heaps of room in there.

"Hey shadow?" I inquired eagerly, grinning.

"What?" He asked suspiciously.

"You have a lot of room in your suitcase." I commented.

"No."

"Bu-"

"No."

"Whhhyyy." I whined

"Everyone will laugh at me." I gave him my meanest glare.

"So, you care about what people think about you more than me?" I stared using the fake tears- they always worked on Daddy.

"I've seen the fake tears before." Shadow said. I jumped up from the bed and stomped my foot.

"They're not fake. Why are you being so mean to me?"

"I'm not being mean. You're trying to use your best friend."

"Well... well... boys are stupid!" I exclaimed running out of the room. "Daddy!" I called, going into his room. Daddy looked up from his packing and seeing I was upset hurried to pick me up and gave me a big hug.

Violet POV

Early the next morning we were all set to leave. Lily and I had talked and finally managed to compromise on her suitcase and now I was trying to get everyone out of the house, but it was five a.m. and they were all sluggish and sleepy but I managed to get there asses out the door and into cars by half past five.

"Why did we have to get up so early?" Iggy complained tiredly, as he drove to the airport.

"Because, the airport is on the other side of town so we had to go all the way through town and we need to be there early so we're prepared." Iggy groaned.

"You're lucky you're hot, because this super organised thing gets annoying." I snorted.

"You wouldn't be so tired if you and Fang hadn't stayed up til midnight trying to kill each other on Halo 3."Thanks to my planning we arrived at the airport with heaps of time to spare, we met up with the flock, had some breakfast and boarded the plane by seven. Everything was going fine until the captain announced over the intercom that we were flying at a mile high. Iggy, grinning cheekily, turned me.

"Hey Violet, wanna join the mile high club?" He asked, smirking as if he knew I'd say yes, like I had the past ten times we'd gone on a plane.

"Nope." I said wiping the smirk right of his face. "I am no longer having sex you in weird places. I find that the weirder the place the less careful you are with protection." It was why our kids were conceived in such weird places. Iggy crossed his arms scowling like a little kid who had his candy taken away. He switched places with Ally so that he in the guys were sitting together and so were the girls. I had taken Luke out of his car seat and he was sitting on my lap babbling away.

"Can you say mama?" I asked him. Luke mumbled some more nonsense but ultimately couldn't say any real words.

"How about Ally?" Ally prompted him; she was sitting next to me with Typa on her lap. Luke opened his mouth as if he was going to say her name but then shoved his hand in his mouth and cuddled into my chest.

"Mummy, Viowet." Typa giggled. Luke scowled at her, using that adorable death glare that he had.

"You talk when you want to, okay?" I told him, kissing his hair. No one was going to pressure my baby into doing anything he didn't want to. The guy's conversation got loud all of a sudden and it was hard to block what they were saying.

"Iggy, do you not remember the schoolgirl outfit in the garage?" Jacob asked him and I saw Ally scowl.

"Two words dude, French maid." Iggy snickered. Well that put an end to that fantasy of his.

"I'm sleep deprived, I'm getting so much." Fang bragged.

"We did it on my desk at work." Iggy announced. For. The. Whole. Plane. To. Hear. "She strode in announced, threw me on to the desk and stared making out with me and it lead to, ah... adult things. I've being getting so much lately I cancelled my subscription to playboy." No, he didn't, I did.

"Ally told me Violet found out and cancelled for you and burned the magazines." Fang snorted.

"Psht, no. I ain't letting no woman push me around."

"Violet told Ally, who told me. You're such a liar." Iggy mumbled something unintelligible.

"What about my sister?" Fang exclaimed.

"Ignore my last comment." Iggy laughed nervously.

"I swear one of these days..."

"What are you going to do emo boy, cut me with your razor!"

"Beat you up til your face looks like a potato head doll."

"No! Not my face, it's what I use to get Violet to have sex with me!"

"Perfect!"

"Violet!" Iggy whined. "Your brother is being mean to me."

"Violet," Fang said." Your husband is mouthing off about you."

"What's he saying?" I asked.

"Things that make you suspend him from sex for six months."

"Iggy!" I yelled, "Get your skinny white ass back here right now!" Iggy came back and sat in the empty seat that Ally had just vacated, presumably to yell at Jacob about the school girl comments. This was going to be a long plane ride.

Finally after five hours of being on that plane we touched down in Honolulu. We got our baggage and immediately went to the hotel to freshen up. I was carrying Luke in my arms and he had fallen asleep when we got off the flight. Lily was stumbling along beside me, tiredly. She, like her little brother had not fallen asleep on the plane. I was planning on making her sleep when we got back to the hotel. We arrived and checked in.

"Oh my god, this is gorgeous!" I exclaimed as we opened the door to our suite. The lounge room was massive with a little kitchenette and there was a sliding door leading onto a balcony with a view of the ocean. "Can we live here?" I turned to Iggy.

"Be happy with your week." He grinned dumping the bags.

"Where am I sleeping?" Lily asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Okay, come on baby." Iggy picked her up. "Nap time."

"But I wanna go to the beach." She complained.

"You got up very early and I can tell that you are tired. I promise that I will take you for a swim the minute you wake up, deal?" Lily nodded and I followed her and Iggy into the room to the right. There were two single beds and they had set up a cot for Luke to sleep in. I put him down in it and covered him with a blanket.

"Here." Iggy said throwing me Luke's teddy bear. I caught it and put it down by Luke feet because he'd get really upset if he woke up and it wasn't there. Iggy was tucking Lily in and she had one of her soft toys in each arm. Her eyelids looked heavy. Iggy kissed her on the forehead.

"Night Princess." Iggy whispered. "I love you so much."

"Love you too daddy." Came her sleepy response. Iggy and I backed out of the room and shut the door behind us. We went into our bedroom; it had a balcony that overlooked the ocean. Iggy flopped down onto the bed.

"We should unpack a little bit." I said walking in the direction of the door to the main room. But Iggy grabbed me around the waist as I passed him and pulled me on top of him.

"Let's do something else." He growled in my ear.

"No," I giggled, trying to escape but was cut off by his lips meeting mine. We rolled around a little bit, until eventually we had switched places and I was under him. One of Iggy's hands was sliding up my leg as he kissed my neck, under the shorts I was wearing. Damn it, I knew I was going to end up giving up into temptation. Why did I have such a freaking irresistible husband?

We were interrupted an hour later by knocking on the door.

"Be there in a minute!" I shouted flying hurriedly out of bed, trying to locate all of my clothes. Iggy was slower. "Get dressed!" I hissed at him, throwing his shirt at him. I was actually searching through the sheets for my clothes. When I had finally gotten dressed, I ran for the door and opened. The whole flock was waiting there.

"What took you so long?" Nudge asked as they all came through the door and started making themselves at home on the couches. "We've been calling you guys and stuff."

"I got dis...tracted." I said disjointedly as Iggy came into the room, his hair all messed up adorably, just the way I liked it. He gave me a grin before going into the kid's room to check on them.

"We've been here five minutes and you guys can't keep your hands of each other already." Max said disapprovingly.

"He started it." I said indignantly.

"As much as I enjoy discussing my baby sister's sex life, we did come to ask you guys something" Fang began, "Do you want to go to the beach?"

"Uh yeah that'd be great, but the kids are asleep, so why don't you guys go down and we'll see you there." They all agreed to that and left to go get ready. Iggy came out of the kid's room, carrying Luke.

"Lily's still asleep, but I found this one awake playing with his teddy bear." Iggy told me handing him to me.

"Hi darling." I cooed kissing him on the nose, Luke smiled and laughed. "The flock want us to go to the beach with them, so do you want to make Luke a bottle while I get him dressed for the beach?"

"Sure." Iggy brought me over Luke's suitcase and then went into the kitchenette. I lay Luke on the couch and dug around in his suitcase for some togs. I picked out his blue ones and put them at the top of his suitcase, while I changed his nappy. I put on his togs and a t-shirt with a tractor on it. Now for the hard part. Luke hated sun block as much as his father did and squirmed around as I tried to put it on him.

"Come on Luke, stop it, you don't want to be a lobster baby, do you?" I was finally satisfied with the amount he had on when Iggy brought over Luke's bottle. Iggy sat down and Luke crawled over to him, seeing the bottle. Iggy gave it to him and I rubbed one of Luke's soft, little feet.

"Can you believe it's almost been a year since he was born?" Iggy commented, watching Luke's face as he sucked down the milk.

"And almost scared us both out of our minds." I said, putting my head on Iggy's shoulder.

"This time last year was just a mess. We are never going through that again if I have anything to do with it. I will blow up every media outlet if I have to."

"You won't have to. We're in such a different place now, as a couple and a family. It sounds crazy but the whole experience might have made us stronger."

"Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. But I think now, we need to focus on each other, the kids and being a family." A door opened and Lily shuffled out of her and Luke's room and crawled up onto my lap.

"Did you have good sleep sweetheart?" I asked as she curled into me, still in the middle of waking up.

"Mmhmm." She mumbled into my shoulder.

"Do you want to go to the beach with the rest of the flock?" Suddenly Lily was wide awake and her dark eyes shone brightly.

"Of course mummy!" She said enthusiastically, jumping off me and dragging me into her room to get dressed. I grabbed her suitcase along the way and got her into her pink and purple togs and a pink sundress over the top. I covered her in sun block and tied her hair back so it wouldn't get in her face when she swam. We went out to the lounge.

"Sweetheart can you keep an eye on your brother while daddy and I get dressed?" I asked Lily who nodded and went to sit beside Luke. Iggy had taken our suitcases into the bedroom and I dug around for something to wear.

"Hmm, which swimsuit will be best to torture Iggy?" I wondered aloud making Iggy look up.

"One that leaves not a lot to the imagination." He suggested looking through the suitcase too. "I like this one, there's not much to this one so I like it, oh and you could never fail with the red one." He threw all the suggestions in my direction. I put them back in the suitcase.

"Go take a cold, cold shower Iggy Ride." I told him. Iggy scowled, grabbed his bathing suit and went into the bathroom. A minute later I actually heard the shower start up. I snorted and got in to my strapless royal purple bikini with the shiny gold accents. I put a white, mid-thigh length dress over top and put on dark sunglasses. I waited for Iggy to come out of the shower and when he did I pushed him down on to the bed, grabbing the sun block on the bedside table.

"Argh Violet, No!" He complained, as I sat on him, smearing the sun block all over his pale white skin.

"I don't want you to get freaking skin cancer, so stop wriggling and let me do this. There I'm done." I crawled off him. "It wasn't that bad." I got a death glare in response. I got our towels and the kids' beach toys in a beach bag and we were finally ready to go.

"Can you keep your mind out of the gutter long enough to keep an eye your daughter?" I asked Iggy scooping Luke up.

"Yes dear." Iggy grumbled, going to hold Lily's hand. I didn't like where his hands had been in the last fifteen minutes.

"Actually you take the stuff, I'll watch the kids." I said handing him the floral beach bag and holding Lily's hand. We walked down to the beach which was right on the edge of the resort.

"Hey Igella." Fang said to Iggy when he saw the bag. Iggy glared and started laying out the towels.

"Get stuffed." Iggy complained sitting down on the towel. I sat down on mine next to Ally.

"What's his problem?" She asked me looking at Iggy's sullen expression.

"Oh, he's just in a shit with me because I didn't take his fashion advice and teased without the pleasing." I giggled.

"Mummy can we go swimming?" Lily asked, sitting on my lap and cuddling up to me, acting all sweet.

"Sure baby. Luke do you want to come too?" I asked him and he nodded. I took them both down to the waves and waded around while they swam not wanting to get my dress wet or take it off and pretty much have a giant lit up sign over my head saying 'winged freak here'. Lily and Luke had a great time splashing around in the waves. Luke splashed in my direction.

"You cheeky monkey!" I laughed, splashing him back lightly. Lily joined in and my plans to stay dry had come to an end. Eventually I was dripping wet and carrying two giggling children up the beach back to where the flock were. When I got back the guys were all gone.

"Where'd the guys go?" I asked putting the kids down and getting towels to wrap them in tightly.

"They're out there." Ally pointed to where the four guys were out in the water surfing. Gazzy, Fang and Jacob were doing okay, actually really good. But Iggy was not doing well, he fell several times. It was comedic but I found see his angry expression. Eventually he got frustrated and stormed out of the water, returned the board and came over to me.

"Surfing is stupid." He grumbled. "I can't do it." he sat down next to me and I put a towel around his shoulders.

"Honey, you're not going to be perfect on the first go." Even though it wasn't his first time, he'd tried on our honeymoon; he'd failed at it then too.

"But they're good at it!" He pointed to where the other guys were still doing well.

"So, you can do heaps of things they can't. Cook, run a whole department, father children without even trying." I got a small smile out of him. I combed my fingers through his hair. "So, I was thinking that tonight..."

"Yeah?" Iggy asked looking hopeful.

"That we could have some family time, go out to dinner with the kids, watch a movie maybe." Iggy grinned.

"That sounds like a great idea, but first..." Iggy jumped up and picked me up. I knew what he was going to do.

"No, don't you dare!" I squealed. But he continued running towards the water no matter how hard I hit him. As soon as we were out deep enough he threw me into the water. I was submerged in the water. I got back on my feet and broke through the surface of the water.

"You ass!" I laughed, pushing the wet hair out of my face. "You're so dead!" I lunged at him knocking him down into the water with a splash.

After the beach I made the kids get in the bath so they could get all clean for dinner. Iggy went down to get some movies for after and make restaurant reservations.

"Ow!" Lily exclaimed as Luke reached out and yanked on one of her curls. I grabbed his hand and untangled it.

"No."I told him sternly. I picked him up out of the bathtub and got him in a towel. Enough bath time for him. I heard the front door open and shut.

"Iggy!" I called out. "Can you come get Luke?"

"Yeah!" He replied and came into the kid's bathroom. I handed Luke to him.

"His clothes are on the couch and can you get him a teething ring too. I think his teeth are a little sore."

"Sure thing." He went off.

"Are you okay darling." I asked Lily rubbing her head. She nodded.

"Why does he like hurting people, mostly me." Lily complained, as I got her out of the bath and dried her off.

"I don't know. He's in a destructive phase. He'll grow out of it."

"You know if he was a girl he probably wouldn't be so mean." I laughed and got her dressed in a white dress with pink flowers on it and combed her hair. Now we were all ready to go. I was wearing a little black dress with an empire waist that flowed in to a knee length skirt and there was a bow at the back of the dress. I had paired it with red peep toe heels to give the outfit some colour. I was wearing my hair up which was good because of Luke's hair pulling. We rounded up the boys and went down to one of the hotels restaurants, the more family friendly one since we had two children either of whom could start acting up at any moment.

"Table for Ride." Iggy told the hostess who sat us at a table.

"Could we please get a highchair?" I requested thinking of Luke who was a little piglet when it came to food. She nodded smiling and one of the waiters brought it out to us. I put Luke in the highchair and a bib on him so he wouldn't get food on his nice clothes that were clean for once. Lily and Luke got their food first so we could have them fed and happy and we could enjoy our meal. Lily chose the cheese burger and fries and Luke had the macaroni cheese and got it all over his face. Iggy, after much debate, had the prime rib and I had a burger with bacon, avocado and cheddar with a side of fries.

"Are you guys having a nice night?" I asked the kids as they were licking ice cream cones. Chocolate for Luke and Strawberry for Lily.

"Yes mummy. Thank you for taking us out for dinner." Lily thanked me from Iggy's lap which she had moved onto half way through his meal. Luke smiled too and I saw that had finished his ice cream and not all of it had gotten in his mouth. I wiped his face while Iggy handled the bill. We went back upstairs. We got them changed into to pyjamas before we started the movie so it wouldn't a hassle if they fell asleep during it. Lily curled up on Iggy's lap as soon as he sat down and held onto his shirt.

"Ig," I whispered, giving him a blanket to cover her up with. I sat down next to them with Luke sitting on me covered in his own blanket, Iggy pushed play on the remote and Toy Story began. It was a movie that both kids would enjoy as well as us adults. About halfway through, I heard a little snort and felt Luke shift ever so slightly. I looked down to see that he was asleep and was just curling up to me. Lily was still awake. I took Luke to bed so the movie wouldn't wake him up. I returned and cuddled up to Iggy and Lily for the remainder of the movie. Lily made it until the last five minutes of the movie when she dozed off to sleep against Iggy's chest. He carried her into bed while I stayed on the couch too tired to get up. Iggy came back into the room and turned the TV off.

"Do I need to carry you to bed too?" he asked with a slight laugh.

"Yes please." I smiled. Iggy lifted me up and took me into our bedroom. After getting ready for bed we got under the covers.

"I love you, my wonderful husband who can do lots of stuff." I told him snuggling into his chest. "And if Fang, Jacob and Gaz give you crap just remind them that you're paying for this trip."

The next morning we were hanging around the hotel. Lily had gotten Iggy to play dollies so they were doing that on the floor and I was engaged in a game of peek-a-boo with Luke who was laughing hysterically. There was a knock on the door.

"It's open." I called before returning my attention to Luke. The door opened and Max, Fang, Ally, Jacob, Shadow and Typa came in to our room.

"You girl." Fang taunted in Iggy's direction. Lily looked at him.

"Oh, sorry Uncle Fangy, I'm playing with daddy now but you and me can play with the dollies later." She smiled at him innocently.

"Okay Lils." He replied. I heard Iggy whisper quietly to Lily.

"Good one." And they both started snickering. Everyone came and sat down and I stopped my game of peek-a-boo with Luke to talk to them.

"So, you know how we said that one night while we were here we were all going to go out together as a group." Ally began. "Well how about tonight we go out for dinner, hit some bars. Angel and Gazzy will look after the kids."

"That sounds great."

"And I booked us girls into the hotel spa today so we can get pampered before we go out."

"That is just what I need. Will you be okay with the kids Iggy?"

"Yeah, we can go to the pool or the beach."

"Iggy and I are having another baby." I told the other four while we were getting facials. Nudge and Angel had come with us to the spa. They all looked stunned at my announcement.

"I can't believe you're pregnant already!" Ally exclaimed. I rolled my eyes sighing, I should have guessed that they'd come to this conclusion. There were similar comments from Max, Nudge and Angel too.

"I'm not." I said firmly.

"Yes, you are." Ally persisted.

"No, I'm not."

"But you have to be because... oops."

"What?"

"Nothing you won't find out."

"What aren't you telling me?"

"Nothing that you won't find out about in a few weeks." I gave her a suspicious look. I didn't trust her in the slightest.

"Well, anyway, Iggy and I are planning on having another baby in two years." Ally and Angel just snorted.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing." Ally said. "So Max how's your baby-making coming along." This I was incredibly surprised at. I couldn't believe Max wanted kids when she had basically raised five of them.

"It's not working." Max said looking embarrassed.

"Just do what I did, get drunk." I told her. As I said this Ally and Angel started giggling.

"What?" I asked for what felt like the millionth time today.

"Nothing. Tell us more about your two year plan Vi." Ally suggested.

"The kids will be older, Iggy will be more settled into his job, Lily will almost be starting school. Things will be perfect to have a baby."

"I'm sure it will be." Angel said with a smile that I just didn't trust.

"Do you two know something that will affect this?" I asked the two mind readers.

"Why would you think that? It seems like you have everything planned perfectly." Ally grinned.

"Because the red light in my head that tells me people are lying is flashing."

"I think you're imagining things." Angel said in a trustworthy voice. A tiny voice in the back of my mind was telling me that she was controlling me to get me to stop questioning them but a much louder voice told me to calm down and ignore that other voice.

"I'm so tired, maybe that's it." I admitted with a yawn.

"I'm sure that's it." Ally reassured me.

"Nudge?" Max asked. "Are you as confused as I am?"

"Oh yeah. Definately. I mean, it's pretty obvious that the two year plan isn't going to work because Iggy will screw up before then but I have no idea what they're on about." Well that makes three of us.

"Hello!" I called when I opened the door to our hotel suite after the spa day. We had massages, facials, got manicures and pedicures and it was so relaxing.

"Mummy!" Was the first thing I heard when I stepped inside. Then I was hit by two little bodies running into me with such a force it made me stagger back a few steps.

"Hi there." I said attempting to hug both of the kids equally. They each grabbed a hand and started dragging me over to the couch and when they had finally succeeded in getting me to sit, they climbed on me and Lily started telling me about their day in great detail while Luke just started babbling non-stop. It was very overwhelming. Iggy came out of our bedroom.

"Help me." I mouthed to him. Iggy ran at us and picked both kids up.

"Don't scare mummy or she might not come back from the spa next time. Go and play in your room for a few minutes." Iggy took the kids to their room and came back out not long after and sat on the couch beside me.

"How was the spa?" he asked putting an arm around me.

"Alright, I'm so tired though." I buried my face in Iggy's chest. "I think the kids have finally succeeded in pushing me off the edge."

"You were fine yesterday." Iggy commented, rubbing my back. "And I know you slept well last night."

"And I've been at a spa all day. That's not exactly tiring. I have no idea what's wrong with me."

"Are you okay to go out tonight? I'm sure everyone would understand if you wanted to stay home and sleep."

"No, everyone's excited about this. I don't want to ruin everyone's buzz. I can sleep tomorrow and what I also have to do is go spend some time with my children because I've been out all day and I will be out all night." I got up and went into the kid's bedroom.

Later that evening I was getting ready with the girls in the room that Nudge and Angel were sharing. Even though Angel wasn't coming with us she was helping us get ready. I was so tired. An hour of playing with the kids had taken any energy I had left.

"I'm not going to last long tonight." I told the others as I lay on Angel's bed. I was dressed and everything and waiting for all the others. I was wearing a white, strapless dress that fell just above the knee and there was a black pattern around hemline and there was a thick band of black under a roushed bust. My hair was curled and in a half up, half down style. Ally had a strapless red dress with a sweetheart neckline on and an elbow length, skin tight jacket. Nudge had on a knee-length sparkly brown dress. We had also forced Max into a midnight blue strapless dress that went to just above her knee. Well the others had forced, I had just watched.

"I have no idea why I'm so tired." I complained.

"Hmm." Ally said from where she was getting her hair done. "Wonder why that is." We finished getting ready and took a cab into town to a bar where we were meeting the guys but I was so tired I feel asleep on the way.

"Violet, wake up." Someone said softly as the shook me. I groaned, forgetting where I was for a second.

"Leave me alone, stupid white coats. I'm sleeping." I mumbled thinking I was five years old again.

"Lily's trying to fly by jumping off a cliff." I snapped my eyes open when I heard Ally tell me that, knowing exactly where and how old I was.

"Where?" I exclaimed looking around, blinking wildly. Finding nothing I relaxed and followed everyone in getting out of the car. We walked into the bar and got heaps of wolf whistles from the other randoms in the bar. Then our guys were walking over to us glaring around the bar. Iggy's arm slipped protectively around my waist. We went over to a booth to sit down. I was starving so I picked up a food menu and looked at all the food on it until something that I just had to have popped out at me. I flagged down a waiter.

"Hi, can I please have some of those mini hotdogs?"

"Sorry, miss we're out of them."

"What?" I exclaimed standing up and grabbing the waiters arm, tightly. "How can you not have any? What kind of service is that!" Iggy put a hand around my waist again and pulled me down back onto the seat.

"Honey, tone it down a notch." I watched as he handed the guy a wad of cash, to stop him from kicking me out. "Sorry about that." I realised how crazy I was being and frowned.

"I need a drink." I groaned sliding down in my seat.

"I'll get one for you." Ally said jumping up.

"Oh! Thank you so much!" I gushed beaming at her. She took everyone's orders and took Jacob with her to help her carry them back.

"Are you feeling okay?" Iggy asked, putting a hand on my forehead like he was checking for a fever. I pushed his hand away.

"I'm fine, okay? Just tired, other than that I feel great! So stop worrying." I told him.

"Can't. It's what I do." Iggy kissed my hair. I relaxed into him and waited for Ally to return with drinks. When she did, I took one sip of the drink she handed me and frowned.

"This doesn't taste alcoholic." I commented.

"Trust me Violet; this is the right drink for you, that's what you want to be drinking." She reassured me. She wasn't lying but it seemed to me she was skirting around the truth.

"Fine, I have to go to the bathroom." I stood up and stormed over to where the restrooms were. Why wasn't anyone being straight with me? It was pissing me off although I wondered if my bad mood and paranoia was just an effect of the exhaustion. When I left the bathroom I was determined to be a lot more level headed. I sat back now next to Iggy, talked and laughed with the others. An odd thing was is that no one ever let me get the drinks. When I asked Iggy about this he just started mumbling something about Ally and chopping boards. During the night I went through a stage where I was so tired that I was wide awake and completely energised.

"Come on guys, lets hit another bar!" I exclaimed jumping down excitedly. "We've only been to like five already, I reckon before the end of the night we can hit ten!"

"Weren't you falling asleep on me, ten minutes ago?" Iggy asked worriedly as we entered another bar.

"Nah-uh. Can't of been me! I don't get tired, I'm never tired!" I was still bouncing.

"She's worse than you are Nudge." I heard Ally whisper to the other girls.

"Yeah, I don't have crazy eyes!" Nudge said, slightly fearfully.

"I think I'm gonna call her, escaped mental patient Violet." Iggy said fondly. "She's not as great as slutty Violet, but she's got a kinda scary cuteness to her. She reminds of high Violet."

"High Violet!" Everyone exclaimed looking at me.

"You'd better have a really good reason for this." Fang growled at Iggy.

"Oh relax, I didn't get her high. It was morphine after she got shot that one time. She was in pain so they gave her some pain meds and she had no filter between her brain and mouth, she was giggly and all she wanted to do was make-out."

"Yay! That was a nice trip down memory lane... I want to dance now." I said to Iggy dragging him on to the dance floor. Somewhere after about five straight minutes of dancing, I crashed, coming down off the wide awake thing. "I'm so sleepy." I mumbled to Iggy not caring that I was in the middle of a dance floor. Iggy scooped me up into his arms.

"Okay sweetheart. You can sleep right now. I've got you." Despite the loud pounding music, I drifted in and out of sleep. I vaguely remember getting carried into a cab at some point during the night, with Iggy, Ally and Jacob and falling back asleep and I also remembered them mentioning something about Nudge going home with some guy named Ash. I woke up fully when I was taken out of the cab and I felt the cool air hitting my face.

"Wha' happening? I asked Iggy trying to wake up more. I felt less tired than I had at the beginning of the night.

"The others are all going for a last few drinks at the hotel bar but I am taking you up to bed." he told me. "Go back to sleep."

"No. I'm okay now, I had a power nap. Let's go with the others."

"Are you sure? This is coming from the girl who fell asleep in the middle of a bar. A loud bar."

"I'm okay. And if it makes you happy, I will sleep in for as long as possible tomorrow. Now can you please put me down?" Iggy put me back on my feet, I was slightly unsteady at first but I made it the hotel bar, where we joined the others and got more drinks. They all seemed surprise to see us but I assured everyone that I was fine. Ally was looking at a sign advertising Karaoke.

"OMG! Guys, we should enter that! It's tonight." She enthused.

"Ok." I said, it sounded like fun. And if I was in, Iggy would follow along.

"What about you Max?" Ally asked with a wide grin.

Max was very hesitant to answer, but finally she sighed and agreed.

"Fine, but I need another drink first."

Ally went to sign us up for a song while we all signed up for the other songs that we wanted to do. When that was all done Ally ordered three shots.

"Down them and let's get up on that stage." We drunk them down quickly nd headed over for the stage.

"What song are we singing?" I asked, bouncing on the balls of my feet, thinking I was feeling the rush of alcohol.

"Buttons, by the Pussycat dolls. It'll kill the boys." Ally giggled and I nodded.

"I can't sing that!" Max exclaimed, blushing.

"Don't worry. I know that you know the words so just sing along and have fun. Make them drool." We got up onto the stage while people cheered and the DJ announced who we were.

"Tonight we have three lovely ladies singing a sexy song. Here's Ally, Max, and Violet singing Buttons by the Pussycat dolls!" The intro began and we started to sing. This was going to be interesting.

I'm telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain't seen nothing (Uh)

Typical
Hardly the type I fall for

Wonder (wonder)

Wonder (wonder)
What I got next for you

I'm telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going to do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain't seen nothing (Uh)

We tossed our hair and danced around the stage and had a ball of fun. People cheered and applauded when we were done. By the time we were running off stage we were giggling and feeling tipsy.

"Wait right there Violet. You and Iggy are up next with Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship." I got back on the stage and waited for Iggy to join me.

(Italics-both, bold and italics-Iggy, underline and italics-Violet)

The song was very flirtatious and we played that aspect up a lot. I knew that I had driven him crazy with the buttons song and I was only further reinforcing it with this song. We ran off the stage holding hands and laughing as we returned to the table.

"Next up we have Max and Fang singing a love song. Lay All Your Love On Me from the Mama Mia soundtrack."

"Seriously?" Iggy laughed as we sat back at the table.

(Bold and italics-Fang, Underline and italics-Max)
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every man that I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned
Has overturned
I beg of you

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied
I skip my pride
I beg you dear

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarceI used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned
Has overturned
What can I do?Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on meDon't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

It was very cute and not Fang-like at all. It was so funny because all the girls were sighing and probably thinking he was romantic and he definately wasn't.

"Now we have Iggy back on stage with…Jizz In My Pants."

"This is what a real man would sing." Iggy smirked. I slunk down in my seat ready for the humiliation that was about to come my way.

Lock eyes from across the room
Down my drink while the rhythms boom
Take your hand and skip the names
No need here for the silly games
Make our way through the smoke and crowd
The club is the sky and I'm on your cloud
Move in close as the lasers fly
Our bodies touch and the angels cry

Leave this place, go back to yours
Our lips first touch outside your door
Is the whole night what we've got in store?
Whisper in my ear that you want some more
And I jizz in my pants

This really never happens, you can take my word
I won't apologize, that's just absurd
Mainly your fault for the way that you dance
And now I jizz in my pants
Don't tell your friends or I'll say you're a slut
Plus it's your fault, you were rubbin' my butt
I'm very sensitive, some would say that's a plus
Now I'll go home and change

I need a few things from the grocery
Do things alone now mostly
Left me heartbroken, not lookin' for love
Surprise in my eyes when I looked above
The checkout counter and I saw her face
My heart stood still, so did time and space
Never thought that I could feel real again
But the look in her eyes said "I need a friend"
She turned to me, that's when she said it
Looked me dead in the face, asked "Cash or credit?"
And I jizzed in my pants

It's perfectly normal, nothing wrong with me
But we're going to need a cleanup on aisle 3
And now I'm posed in an awkward stance
Because I jizzed in my pants
To be fair, you were flirting a lot
Plus the way you bag cans makes me bothered and hot
Please stop acting like you're not impressed
One more thing, I'm gonna pay by check

Last week I saw a film
As I recall it was a horror film
Walked outside into the rain
Checked my phone and saw you rang
And I jizzed in my pants

Speeding down the street, when the red lights flash
Need to get away, need to make a dash
A song comes on that reminds me of you
And I jizz in my pants

The next day, my alarm goes off
And I jizz in my pants

Open my window and a breeze rolls in
And I jizz in my pants

When Bruce Willis was dead at the end of Sixth Sense
I jizzed in my pants

I just ate a grape
And I jizzed in my pants

I went to. . .
Ok seriously you guys, can we. . . . ok?

I jizz right in my pants
Every time you're next to me
And when we're holdin hands
Its like havin sex with me
You say I'm premature
I just call it ecstasy
I wear a rubber at all times
Its a necessity
Cuz I jizz in my pants
(I jizz in my pants, I jizz in my pants, yes, I jizz in my pants, yes, I jizz in my pants)
Yes I jizz in my pants
(I jizz in my pants, I jizz in my pants)

Iggy spent the whole song grinning and wiggling his eyebrows at me in a suggestive manner. I loved Saturday Night Live and laughed so hard when the boys from the Lonely Island did this song but he just made it creepy.

"Violet, it's time for you to get back on up here. Let's see if you can top your husband."

I got up from my seat and went up to the stage, on my way I brushed against Iggy accidentally.

"Girl, you make me jizz in my pants." He whispered just making me shudder and want to throw up. I got back up on the stage and took the microphone as my song began.

If you want me, a cherry on top, the pick of the peck,
The crème de la crop.
If you want me you better do better than that tonight.
Oh, Oh.
If you want me, it takes more than a wink,
And more than a drink and more than you think.
If you want me you're gonna have to break the bank, tonight.
Cause some don't have the patience, some call me high-maintenance
But you pay the bill, cause, that's the deal.

If you wanna ride, just name your price don't play cheap, with your heart
Don't make a bet if you can't write the check, for me, for me.
Cause I can be bought, but you'll pay the cost
If you can afford me

If you want me, I'm not a piece of ass, a one night stand, a storage shed
I think you better walk by, tonight
Oh, no.
If you want me, then stop begging I don't put out for charity
If you want me there's no discount price tonight
But I don't need your dollar bills I just want something real
Cause, nothing's free, except a lovin' me

If you want me, a cherry on top,
The pick of the peck, the crème de la crop

The song had a lot of truth to it for me. I was high maintenance and Iggy knew that. Luckily he could handle it. I pranced around the stage and acted some of it, getting really into it. I jumped off the stage returning to the table but the next announcement made me laugh.

"Can Fang, Iggy and Jake come on up to Bust A Move!"

Bust it

This here's a tale for all the fellas
Tryin' to do what those ladies tell us
Get shot down 'cause you're overzealous
Play hard to get, females get jealous

Okay smartie, go to a party
Girls are scantily clad and showin' body
A chick walks by, you wish you could sex her
But you're standin' on the wall like you was Poindexter

Next day's function, high class luncheon
Food is served, and you're stone cold munchin'
Music comes on, people start to dance
But then you ate so much, you nearly split your pants

A girl starts walkin', guys start gawkin'
Sits down next to you and starts talkin'
Said she wanna dance 'cause she likes the groove
So come on, fatso, and just bust a move

Uh, hey, ya, uh, uh, hey, ya
Just bust a move
Uh, hey, uh, ya, uh, hey, ya, uh, uh

You're on a mission and you're wishin'
Someone could cure your lonely condition
Lookin' for love in all the wrong places
No fine girls, just ugly faces

From frustration, first inclination
Is to become a monk and leave the situation
But every dark tunnel has a light of hope
So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope

Your movie's showin', so you're goin'
Could care less about the five you're blowin'
Theater gets dark just to start the show
And then you spot a fine woman sittin' in your row

She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello
Come sit next to me, you fine fellow"
You run over there without a second to lose
And what comes next, hey bust a move

If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it
Just bust a move
If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it

In the city, ladies look pretty
Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty
Tell a funny joke just to get some play
Then you try to make a move and she says, "no way"

Girls are fakin', goodness sakin'
They want a man who brings home the bacon
Got no money, and you got no car
Then you got no woman, and there you are

Some girls are sadistic, materialistic
Looking for a man makes them opportunistic
They're lyin' on the beach perpetratin' a tan
So that a brother with the money can be their man

So on the beach you're strollin', real high rollin'
Everything you have is yours and not stolen
A girl runs up with somethin' to prove
So don't just stand there, bust a move

If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it
Just bust a move
If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it

Break it down for me, fellas
Huh, hey, ya, uh, huh, ooh, hey, ya
Uh, uh, hey, ya, ee, uh, uh, uh, ya

Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
In five days from now he's gonna marry
He's hopin' you can make it there if you can
'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man

You say "neato," check your libido
And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
The bride walks down just to start the wedding
And there's one more girl you won't be getting

So you start thinkin', then you start blinkin'
A bride maid looks and thinks that you're winkin'
She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back
And then you're feelin' really fine 'cause the girl is stacked

Reception's jumpin, bass is pumpin'
Look at the girl, and your heart starts thumpin'
Says she wants to dance to a different groove
Now you know what to do, G, bust a move

You want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it
Just bust a move
If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it

Move it, boy
Uh, uh, uh, hey, uh, uh, ya, uh
Huh, hey, huh, hey, uh, uh, hey, ya, ya

They were good. Knowing we loved glee and that this song would drive us wild. They even did some amazing dance moves that made clap and whistle.

"Anyone else singing?" Ally asked.

"Me." Fang said, returning to the stage.

"This is our last karaoke singer for tonight. Here's Fang with Love Drunk by Boys Like Girls."

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Top down in the summer sun
The day we met was like a hit and run
And I still taste it on my tongue
(Taste it on my tongue)

The sky was burning up like fireworks
You made me want you, oh, so bad it hurt
But girl, in case you haven't heard

I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello then goodbye
(Oh yeah!)

There's just one thing would make me say
(Oh yeah!)
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, but now it's over
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

Hot sweat and blurry eyes
We're spinning on a roller coaster ride
The world stuck in black and white
(Stuck in black and white)

You drove me crazy every time we touched
Now I'm so broken that I can't get up
Oh girl, you make me such a lush

I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello then goodbye
(Oh yeah!)

There's just one thing would make me say
(Oh yeah!)
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, but now it's over

All the time I wasted on you
All the bullshit you put me through
I'm checking into rehab 'cause everything that we had
Didn't mean a thing to you

I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, but now I'm sober

I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello then goodbye
(Oh yeah!)

There's just one thing would make me say
(Oh yeah!)
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, but now it's over

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Now it's over, I still taste it on my tongue
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Now it's over

My brother could really sing, I guess everyone has a hidden little talent.

"That manly enough Iggy?" Fang asked

"Welcome back." Iggy laughed clapping him on the back.

"Excuse me guys, I've got to go organise something." Iggy said getting up and heading over to wear the DJ was. There was an exchange of money.

"Do you think he just carries around wads of cash to show off or because he constantly has to make bribes." Jacob commented.

"He has to cover for his crazy wife." Ally said. In response poked my tongue out at her childishly. "But then again, it's Iggy, he likes expensive things and he likes showing them off even more."

"His ego is the size of Texas." Max said. I shook my head.

"You see the ego. It's his facade. He's actually a very insecure person. He's always going on about how he doesn't deserve me. And I am convinced some girl did it to him. He's never said anything, but it's probably because she hurt him so bad that he can't talk about it." I was quite proud of my theory. The others seemed to be exchanging nervous glances. "What do you know that I don't?" I asked them suspiciously.

"Iggy's never been with anyone before you." Ally said.

"He had crushes, eye candy and stuff like that but nothing serious." Fang agreed.

"He wasn't a relationship kinda guy." Jacob added.

"Until he met you of course. You changed everything." Max smiled as if that comment was supposed to make me feel flattered and go off this track completely. But this wasn't over. Some bimbo had hurt him, and I was going to find out whom. But before I could pry any further, a new song started up.

"Oh my god." I whispered in amazement. "He remembered!" I stood up, feeling like I was going to cry. I found Iggy and jumped into his arms and kissed him. "I can't believe you remembered."

"Of course I remembered. This song was playing when I first kissed a certain girl. She was so beautiful and I knew that I wanted to marry her one day. Unlike a lot of things in life that I wanted to happen, this actually did." I blinked back tears.

"Come with me." I grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the bar. We started running in the direction of somewhere private but as we were sprinting along the side of the hotel pool, Iggy fell in taking me down with him. It didn't bother me and I just pulled him towards me and started kissing whatever part of him I could reach. I could feel his hand feeling around for the zip of my dress and I put one hand under his shirt and started running it over his rock hard chest. This was one of the most outrageous things I had ever done and I didn't really care.

We stumbled back to the hotel room at around two AM soaking wet. We sent Angel back to her room, got changed and crawled into bed, both falling straight asleep.

"Daddy, wake up." Lily whispered, climbing onto the bed, waking the two of us up. Iggy stirred groggily and blinked a few times. My head was aching with the beginnings of a hangover.

"Jesus Lily, its half-past four." He muttered looking at the clock. "You know you're not supposed to get up until at least six-thirty."

"But I want to play." She whined jumping on the bed.

"No, it's way too early." I told her. "Go back to bed." I just wanted to sleep til like noon.

"Nooo!" she bounced even more. "I want daddy to play dollies with me."

"I'm not going to until it's a reasonable hour." Iggy told her.

"Now come on, I'm taking you back to bed. And keep it down; you'll wake your brother up." I scolded her. I picked her up and walked through the lounge, into the room that she and Luke were sharing. But unfortunately I was met with Luke standing up in his cot, holding onto the side, wide awake. I groaned and put Lily down on her bed and tucked her in before going over to Luke and trying to get him to lie down again. But he struggled and tried to grab onto me.

"Fine!" I sighed exasperated, picking him up. I turned around to see that Lily had escaped while I was busy. I stalked into the other bedroom to find her harassing Iggy, jumping all over him. Iggy look thoroughly annoyed and was trying to get her to stop.

"He's up too?" He asked when he saw that I was carrying Luke.

"Yep. Maybe we should try to get them to settle down here." I got into bed and out Luke down next to me, while Iggy lay Lily down. But as soon as I tried to put the blankets over Luke he started kicking them off. Lily got up and started bouncing all over Iggy again demanding him to play dolls with her.

"Guys come on." I pleaded. "Mummy and Daddy are tired. Why can't you go back to sleep?"

"I don't want to." Lily told me, still jumping up and down. "Anyway it's your fault, you stayed out all night, I heard you come home really late and you woke me up."

"Darling, I'm sorry. But I'm so, so, tired and my head is killing me. I need to get some sleep. Please baby?" Lily thought for a moment.

"Okay, but can I sleep here?"

"Yeah, of course." Lily finally lay down and Luke stopped kicking. We were all soon back asleep.

But that didn't last long. At half past seven there was a knock on the door. I just rolled over, groaning. My head was worse than ever and I felt like I was about to throw up, which was weird because I never threw up when I was hung over. Lily got out of bed to go answer the door and Luke toddled after her. I pulled the blankets up over my head when Max, Fang, Ally and Jacob came into the room. They had a plastic shopping bag with them that contained food, which made me feel even sicker.

"Iggy, can you make us some breakfast?" Max asked. "Please, we brought the food." I heard Iggy exhale loudly.

"Fine but only cause I'm hungry." He grumbled getting out of bed. I slowly followed him, needing some fresh air. I immediately opened every window in the suite and the sliding doors. After awhile everyone was sitting around eating there breakfast while I curled up in a chair. When everyone finished, Lily and Luke went to play in their room with Shadow and Typa.

"Oh hey guys, I was wondering if you could watch something for me real quick." Ally asked Iggy and I. We both nodded and she put a video tape in the player and her and the others stood to the side of the TV while Iggy and I watched. It was on mute but we could clearly tell what was going on. someone had taped us in the pool last night. It was a freaking sex tape.

"I have a sex tape." I said faintly. "I have a sex tape!" I yelled this time glaring at Ally. "Why would you tape this?"

"First of all, technically, I didn't tape this, I payed a guy to, I've never even watched it. And secondly, it's pretty obvious, blackmail."

"That was supposed to be something private." I whispered. I felt upset, embarrassed, violated and like I was going to start crying. Iggy was looking at me and he ran over to the TV, ejected the tape, threw it on the ground and stamped on it.

"There, it's gone." He announced triumphantly.

"You're so naive. That's not the only copy. And before you think about ransacking our room looking for the other tapes because I've sent copies to people all over the world."

"I'm going to..." my threat started well but I trailed off because the nausea suddenly became very overwhelming. "I'm going to..." I tried again but again stopped feeling all the colour drain from my face. "I'm going to be sick." I gasped running from room. I ran into the bathroom and crouched over the toilet, emptying the contents of my stomach into it. I heard someone enter the room; they crouched beside me and pulled back my hair.

"Its okay sweetheart, get it out of your system." Iggy comforted me, rubbing my back, like he'd done countless times before. When I had finished throwing up, Iggy got a cool washcloth and wiped my face with it making me feel a little bit better.

"Can you get my toothbrush?" I asked weakly. Iggy nodded and got up to put the tooth paste on it, before helping me up and giving it to me. I brushed my teeth thoroughly just wanting to get the gross taste out my mouth. After a couple of minutes, I turned the water off, spat and put my tooth brush down. "I'm such a mess." I moaned, turning to Iggy.

"No, you're not." He told me firmly, putting an arm around me.

"Yes, I am. I'm so tired and I just threw up and my head is killing me and I'm crying." I felt a few tears slip down my cheeks.

"Okay, do you want to go back to bed?" he asked getting a nod from me in response.

"Will you be okay? With the kids, I feel like I haven't spent any time with them at all." I worried as we walked back into the bedroom.

"You can spend all the time in the world with them once you're better. We'll be fine." I lay down on the bed; it was way too hot for blankets. Iggy kissed my hair. "Get some sleep okay?" I shut my eyes and curled up. Iggy left the bedroom and shut the door behind him.

When I woke up, it was extremely quiet in the suite. I felt better after sleeping my hangover off and now I just really wanted a glass of water and something to eat. I ordered room service and drunk down about a litre of water. There was a folded piece of paper on the bench, with my name written on it in Iggy's messy handwriting. I opened it to read it.

Vi,
Hope you're feeling better. I took the kids down to the beach. We'll be back later this afternoon. Make sure you eat something before you pass out.
Love Iggy.

I put the note down and went to wait on the couch for the room service because I was feeling rather faint from the lack of food. I ate the room service as soon as it was bought up to me. It tasted quite good after not eating anything all day and getting rid of last night's dinner. It was getting quite late and I was wondering when the others would be getting back. I had slept the entire day. The door opened and Iggy came in holding Lily's hand and carrying Luke.

"Hi," I said, smiling at them. Lily let go of Iggy's hand and ran over to me.

"Mummy, mummy! Are you feeling better?" she asked concernedly crawling onto my lap.

"Yes baby. I'm fine. How was the beach?"

"It was really, really fun. Daddy took us swimming and we built sandcastles."

A couple of days later, it was Lily's birthday. Iggy had gone to his conference and from what I'd heard done really well. We'd spent the days on the beach and going shopping. I had slept really late every day since I had been sick to stop myself from getting over tired. But today, I was counting on an early wake up call.

"Mummy! Daddy! I'm three now!" She exclaimed crawling over Iggy to get in between us.

"I know, happy birthday my darling." I said hugging her and kissing her forehead multiple times. She giggled and hugged me back.

"Thank you for giving birth to me, mummy." She thanked me, cuddling into my chest.

"That's okay. You were worth the twenty-eight hour labour." Iggy grabbed Lily and pulled her over him, making her start laughing again.

"Hey there, birthday girl. Did you get any sleep last night or were you too excited?" Lily had gotten out of bed several times last night, unable to sleep.

"No! I slept... a little bit."

"That's good princess. Should we get your brother up while we wait for the flock to come over?"

"Yes, I want open my presents in front of everyone." We had arranged for the flock to come over at eight so we could give Lily her presents together before going out for breakfast together. I got out of bed and went into the other bedroom.

"Luke baby, wake up." I whispered, leaning over his cot. Luke just grunted in response and buried his face in his teddy bear. "Come darling, its Lily's birthday." Luke's hand reached out to push me away. I picked him up anyway and he put his arms around my neck and rested his head on my shoulder. He was obviously still half asleep. I got him dressed and changed while Iggy helped Lily and then we got dressed ourselves. The flock arrived at eight o'clock on the dot, their arms full of presents which made Lily's eye widen, full of excitement. We sat on the couch, while we waited for her to decide whose present to open first.

"I want to open mummy and daddy's first." She announced turning to us handed over the pink envelope with a bow attached to it. Lily frowned looking slightly confused as she opened it. Inside were plans for a pink cottage-like playhouse and few photos of the completed playhouse. Iggy had hired a couple of guys to come around to our house and build it while we were away and they had completed it yesterday afternoon and emailed Iggy a couple of pictures. It was like something out of a fairytale and had furniture and everything and flowers growing in front of it. Lily jumped onto Iggy and hugged him and I tightly.

"I love it so much. I can't wait to play in it."

"I'm glad you like it." I said hugging her back. Luke made an annoyed noise and started pushing his present in Lily's direction. She seemed surprised to get one from him but opened it any way. It was a soft toy Elmo. Lily loved Sesame Street and Elmo was her favourite. Lily grinned hugging the Elmo toy and then she hugged Luke. He looked pretty smug when he saw that she liked his gift and hugged her back. Although they fought a lot you could tell that deep down they did love each other.

Lily got her next present from Nudge and Angel who had got her some new dresses. They loved dressing up Lily because she was the only one of the kids who was willing to be dressed up in pink and frilly things. I could tell by the look on Lily's face that she completely adored her dresses. Max and Fang got her a fairy outfit that included wings, a wand and a cute pink and green fairy dress. Gazzy got her a new doll and I'm pretty sure he just asked the salesperson what would be best present for a three year old girl.

"Here sweetie, this is from me, Typa and Jake." Ally said holding out a big box for Lily. Lily took it from her and tore off the paper. It was a plastic baby doll with everything a baby would need.

"Thank you!" Lily squealed and immediately opened the box to start playing with the baby.

"You're welcome." Ally smiled before looking straight at me. "I think someone else will be getting one of these things in a few months." But I wasn't really paying much attention. I was too busy to trying to stop myself from crying.

"What's up?" Iggy asked seeing my expression. I sniffed and wiped my eyes.

"Can we go talk in our bedroom?" I asked quietly. I saw that Shadow had a present for Lily so she could open that in peace while I talked to Iggy. I stood up. "Lily baby, daddy and I just need to do something for a minute, we'll be right back." Lily nodded and Iggy and I went into the bedroom shutting the door behind us. We sat on the bed.

"Okay, what's wrong?" Iggy asked stroking my hair as I leaned into his chest.

"She's growing up so fast." I sobbed as more tears fell. "Soon, she'll be going to school and get a boyfriend and go to college, so she'll move out and she's not going need me anymore and she won't be my baby."

"Violet, Violet, darling she's always going to need you. No matter how old she gets she will always need you and be your baby. Lily needs her mummy more than anything, do you remember that little baby who would start crying whenever you left the room. She's still that baby no matter how independent she tries to be. A few weeks ago, Lily tripped over on the concrete while you were out and she kept saying 'I want mummy, I want mummy'. It took me ages to calm her down. She's always going to be our baby." I wiped my eyes; Iggy had made me feel so much better.

"I don't know why I'm crying over this. It seems so silly."

"It's okay, it's an emotional day. Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Now let's get back out there and celebrate our baby's birthday."

After breakfast we went snorkelling for Lily's birthday. I was on the beach, with Lily sitting on my lap, going through the rules and how to use the snorkel with her. She was going to look so gorgeous in her snorkel gear and her pink water wings that were shaped like fish. Typa and Luke were going to the resorts day care while the rest of us snorkelled, Jacob and Iggy had gone to drop them off there.

"Make sure you stay by me or daddy, we can't have you getting into trouble." I told her.

"Yes mummy. I will."

"Hey, you never told me what Shadow got you." Lily's cheeks went slightly pink and she smiled softly, playing with the hem of her dress.

"He got me blocks, which was really sweet cause we became friends when playing with blocks and what was even more special was that they spelled out our names." She was fully blushing now.

"That's so adorable." I whispered because Iggy was coming down the beach towards us.

"Daddy's coming, isn't he?" Lily guessed.

"Uh-huh." I laughed, she was so intuitive. Iggy flopped down next to us.

"How was Luke, any tears when you left?" I asked him. I had let Iggy take Luke to the day care because he was such a mummy's boy and if I had left him in the care of strangers it would be such a nightmare.

"A few, but they distracted him with some toy cars and I snuck away when he wasn't looking. He's fine, you know how is." it was time to start snorkelling. Max, Fang and Angel didn't need the gear because they could breathe underwater. We got in the water and started swimming the direction of where the resort staff had told us would be a great place to snorkel. Lily kept between Iggy and I, I was so glad that she was listening to my instructions. The terrible two's were truly over.

Lily pointed excitedly when she saw the first fish. If I didn't have the snorkel in my mouth, I would have grinned. She was happy, so that meant I was happy. It was really helpful having Angel with us, she got dolphins and fish to come near us, but kept the sharks away because Lily would have freaked even though Angel could tell it not hurt us. I knew Lily had a great time swimming around and seeing all the underwater animals. She was getting to be a really good swimmer; Iggy had taken her out in the pool at home whenever he had a chance to over the summer.

"That was so much fun!" she told me as I dried her off after snorkelling. She was smiling widely and happiness seemed to be radiating off her.

"Well, the main thing is that the birthday girl had a good time." Iggy said picking her up keeping her wrapped in her pink beach towel. We got our stuff together and went to pick Luke up.

"Hi, I'm here to pick up Lucas Ride." I asked one of the staff at the day care but Luke ran to me as soon as he heard my voice. When I picked him up he gave Iggy an accusing look that clearly said, 'you left me'. He had a painting in his hand that he gave to me. It was mostly just paint smeared on the paper randomly but I loved it.

"Oh, is that for me?" I asked Luke who nodded. "Thank you baby, I love it." it had been such a great day and I was so thankful that I had my husband, my daughter and my son.

We went out for dinner with the rest of the flock to celebrate Lily's birthday. We had a great time, but after what had happened a couple of days ago I was off alcohol. I actually felt kinda sick at the smell of it. After dinner we went back to the hotel suite to pack up our things as we were leaving first thing. I had ordered wake up calls for everyone, not that they were aware of it. Once we were done packing it was time for the kids' bedtime, Iggy had gotten them into pyjamas while I was packing up and since it was Lily's birthday, I decided to read them a story on mine and Iggy's bed. The four of us curled up together on the bed as I read the story. Luke fell asleep in the middle of it but when I closed the book Lily was still wide awake. I took Luke to bed and returned to be with the other two.

"Daddy?" Lily asked quietly.

"Yes princess." Iggy replied.

"Were you happy when I was born?" she blinked up at him expectantly. Iggy picked up our daughter and hugged her tightly.

"Of course I was, it was one of the happiest days of my life. When I held you for the first time I knew that there was nothing I wouldn't do for you. You were the tiniest thing I had ever seen, but you were so beautiful and one of the things that amazed me were your little hands. They were so small and delicate but really, really strong. You used to hold onto one of my fingers and it was hard to make you let go. You are my baby and I know some times I over react about things but it's only because I love you and I never want to see you get hurt." Lily cuddled into Iggy's chest.

"I love you daddy." She mumbled and then her eyes flicked over to me. "Mummy's crying." Iggy looked over at me too.

"So she is."

"You guys are just cute, okay?" I wailed. "It's not a crime to cry about your husband and daughter having a really sweet moment." Lily and Iggy exchanged a look and then came over to hug me too.
