Its been a long time since I've updated this story but I've decided to finish it. There isn't much left and I'll be doing a timeline jump next. Reviews are so hard to come by for me and I have no idea why and that's why I've left it hanging for so long. Let me know what I'm doing wrong, please. I'm sorry if this sucks.

Chapter Thirty Six

Laughing Aurora placed down her glass of sparkling apple juice as she sat down on Tabitha's couch. She was having such a fun evening and Tabitha was a fantastic host, and she discovered they had a lot in common. Tabitha was only twenty six yet she and Jayden had built up a gorgeous family and their home was amazing. The food had been to die for and Aurora wanted the recipe for the chocolate crème brulee that Tabitha had served for dessert.

"Any regrets moving to Florida?" Tabitha asked as she Aurora turned and looked at her.

"No, none. It was the right decision for us to move here and I've never seen Michael so happy. He becomes alive when he talks about the school and I wanted him to be happy. I'm lucky that my brother has been able to take over the day to day running off the business so I can attend school and prepare for our first child's arrival," Aurora said as her eyes moved to Michael who was engrossed in a conversation with Jayden. "Going to uni in America is a dream come true for me. Something I didn't think was within my grasp and I was happy attending uni in England. I'm glad Belle and the baby are going to be able to have all the amazing options that a American education can offer."

Tabitha nodded and smiled at the younger woman. "I don't know if you know this but I wasn't actually born in America. I'm originally from Brazil but moved here when I was five. It was hard being the child of immigrates but I'm glad they decided to come here when my father was offered a job of a lifetime here. I know my life would have been totally different if I had grown up in Brazil. Don't get me wrong I'm so proud of my home country and I will be attending the Olympics there next year."

Aurora nodded.

"So are you looking forward to becoming a mum?" Tabitha asked.

"Excited, nervous and scared. I guess I should have waited until I was twelve weeks before I announced my pregnancy but we didn't feel it was right to hide it from Michael's employers. Belle is so excited about being a auntie. People use to say that Michael would be an eternal bachelor, that no one would be able to tame him then I came along."

"And the age gap doesn't bother you?"

"No! Michael is an amazing partner and he's so supportive. Okay he did freak a little bit about the pregnancy but he's so loving and he's excited. I can see it when we talk about the baby and I want us to find our dream home soon so we can start planning the nursery."

"Yeah that's the fun part but take time for yourself. Pregnancy is hard but even more at your age."

"Yeah but I'm getting excited about the fact I will be a young mum. If we didn't have the financial stability that we have then maybe I'd be freaking more. I don't have to get a job or go to uni but I want to be."

"So what's your plans after uni?"

"Maybe get my masters. I want to be a teacher but I don't know wither that be elementary, high school or middle school but who knows, maybe I'll be a professor. Right now it's all about just getting through my first year and being a mum. Belle is giving me loads of practice.

Over the next two hours, the two women laughed and joked before Aurora and Michael decided to head home. After saying goodbye to their hosts, the tired couple climbed into their car and began the journey home.

"Did you have fun tonight?" Michael asked as he rested his hand on her knee.

"Yeah I did and I'm glad we decided to come. Tabitha is lovely and their twins are adorable. Are they attending the kindergarten?" she asked as she ran her finger down his leg.

"Yeah Jayden said they'd be attending as Tabitha thinks it makes sense. Our little one will be attending, too."

Aurora just smiled as she thought about their baby and she was excited. She never thought in a million years she'd be the one that would get the famous Michael Byrne to settle down but she had done it. She had the world at her feet and a future that looked amazing. She hoped that one day Michael would ask her to marry him but for now she was happy in the life they had. Coming to America had been the right decision and although she missed her friend's at home, she was also excited about making some new ones.

"Let's head to bed," Michael whispered against her lips as they stood in the kitchen having a glass of non alcoholic wine.

"Tired?" Aurora murmured as she replied to a email which had come in from Gino. It seemed her brother was already freaking out but she needed him to be confidence in the decisions that he was making. Ultimately she still had the final say on the huge decisions.

"Yes."

"I'll lock up. Go on I'll be up in a minute."

Michael nodded before he walked around and slipped an arm around her before kissing her neck. "I did that why you were getting changed. Come on, I can stand to look at you in that anymore."

Aurora giggled. She had changed from her purple dress into a white, lacy babydoll and had a very short dressing gown on. The look on his face when he saw her said everything and she was going to have fun tonight teasing him. Looking into those amazing brown eyes, her breathe hitched as he moved closer running a hand up her leg. Their eyes were locked onto each other as he bent forward until he just centimetres away from her face.

"Come to bed?" he whispered as moved her arms up and around his neck.

"Why?"

"Because you're driving me crazy in that little outfit and I don't think your baby sister wants to walk into us having sex."

Aurora laughed; "Oh and you're so sure you're getting some action then?"

"You forget Aurora I know all your weaknesses. I know how to make you want me, I know how to make you so wet you beg me."

"Really?" she whispered as she searched his eyes. "You're mighty sure of yourself, Mr Byrne."

Moving her hand down his chest, she circled the rim of his trousers before grinning. Dropping her hand down to his crotch she let her fingers pulled down his fly before slowly slipping her hand inside. Slowly she ran her finger down his member as she saw him struggling to keep a straight face and in control. Oh she loved teasing him and her pregnancy hormones were certainly making her more horny.

"If you don't stop, I'm going have to teach you a lesson, Miss Garcia."

"Oh then I beg you to so," she whispered before she pushed him back and headed out of the room.

"Oh you're so going to be punished."

Waking up the next morning wrapped in Michael's arms, Aurora smiled to herself as she remembered the night before. Wow it had been hot and Michael certainly knew how to make her want to absolutely begging for him. Turning over she looked at the man she knew to be so whipped over her. There were sometimes, like now, that she'd just lie and watch him sleeping, wondering how she ever got so lucky to have such an amazing partner and lover. Meeting her soul mate at a young age hadn't been planned nor had the fact she had fallen in love with such a older guy but that didn't seemed to matter.

Watching him sleeping, she hoped that one day she would have this scene again but waking up the morning after their wedding. She knew more than ever she wanted to be Mrs Aurora Byrne, and she'd be proud to have that title. If you asked her how long she lay watching that morning she didn't know but she was just glad the morning sickness had gone.

Yes life was good, it was perfect.
