"Mummy! Mummy!" five-year-old Paige cried as she ran to her mother.
"Easy little one!" Tori said picking her up. "What's going on?" The blonde haired little girl stared at her mother with her giant brown eyes.
"Owen's home!" she said trying to scramble back to the ground. Tori put her down and made her way outside. She looked out the window and, sure enough, an old blue van pulled into the driveway. She opened the door and let Paige run out. She smiled as she saw her son pick up his little sister and spin her in the air.
"O!" Paige squealed wildly as he spun her around. "What did you bring me?" she asked when he placed her down.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he said reaching into his pocket. Paige's face broke into a huge smile as he pulled out a little motocross bike model.
"It's just like yours!" she said excitedly as she hugged him. "I'm going to show daddy." With that she ran off towards the garage. Owen smiled and went inside to greet Tori. She hugged her first born and brought him inside.
"So how was England?" she asked. Owen and Clarke had both gotten signed to Factory Blue and had been training in Europe for the past six months.
"It was great mum! They're starting to call Clarke and me 'the dueling Bradley's.' We have almost the same lap time every heat," he said grabbing a water out of the fridge. Tori shook her head.
"Sounds like your dad and uncle," she said laughing.
"How are things here?" he asked. Tori smirked.
"Well, besides Paige's new power, everything is as crazy as usual." Owen looked at her blankly.
"I thought she wasn't going to get any?"
"So did we, until she hit four. Kind of like you and Hailey. She knows when things are going to happen- or at least we think that's what it is. Like, she says 'Uncle Dustin's on the phone' before it rings, and it's him. Or like she just told my you were home before you pulled into the driveway."
"Well that sucks for Christmas. She'll know what she's getting!" Owen said laughing.
Just then the phone rang. "Shayne!" Owen yelled into the other end as he heard his friend's voice on the other end. "You're where? Do I have to? I just got home and. . . alright alright. I'll be right there," he said and hung up. "Mum? Did you know I had to be fitted today?" he asked.
"Maybe. . . " she said smiling. Owen gave her a look. "Owen Hunter Bradley, suck it up and go get your tux. It's not everyday your little sister gets married. Plus you'll get to see everyone." Owen kissed her on the cheek and ran out to the van.
((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))))
"I don't know about this, man," Austin said adjusting his tie for the third time.
"Dude, calm down. Everything's going to be fine," Clarke said trying to reassure him.
"What if I fall, or forget what I'm going to say."
"Austin, chill out. I was the same way when Shayne and I got married," Will said placing a hand on his shoulder. Austin smiled and remembered the day his cousin married Will, and his smile broadened when he thought of how they would soon have a baby.
"All you have to worry about is keeping my sister happy for the rest of your life," Owen said. "Or you're going to have to deal with me," he said punching him lightly.
A little further away, Hailey was getting ready. Shayne made her way over to her in her pale yellow dress. Hailey's gown was white with little light blue accented flowered sewn into the bottom.
"Hailey you look beautiful," Shayne said as she pinned her veil on. Hailey smiled back and looked at Shayne's round little belly.
"I can't believe you're going to have a baby," she said smiling. Shayne placed her hands on the small mound and smiled back. Paige bounced in and looked adorable in her light blue dress and basket of white rose pedals.
"Hailey you look like a princess," she said hugging her big sister.
"Thanks little one," she said wiping away a small tear. Blake walked into the room and smiled.
"She's right you know," he said looking at her.
"Thanks Daddy," she said. "I'm so nervous!" Blake smiled at her.
"I was too," he admitted. Shayne left just as Owen walked in.
'Whoa,' he said in his head. Hailey grinned.
'Is that a good thing or a bad thing?' she asked him back.
"It's a very good thing," he said hugging his twin. Blake looked at them.
"I thought we told you two not to do that," he smirked. They both started laughing.
"They're ready," Owen said. He kissed his little sister on the cheek and walked out. 'Hailey,' he said to her when he was out of the room.
'Yeah O?' she said back telepathically.
'I love you sis,' he said. A tear rolled down her cheek. Blake looked at her.
"You alright?" she smiled.
"Yeah dad. I'm ready."
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Six months later found everyone back to their normal lives. Owen and Clarke returned to Europe and continued to dominate in the world of motocross, Shayne and Will welcomed a baby girl, that they named Skylar, into their family, and Hailey and Austin were awaiting the birth of their first child.
Blake and Tori walked along the beach hand in hand as Paige ran to the water's edge and began to play. They stopped and Blake pulled her to him and rested his hands on the small of her back. Tori nuzzled her head into his shoulder and let out a contented sigh. He tightened his grip around his wife and kissed her temple.
Paige ran up to her parents and wrapped both her arms around their legs. Blake released Tori and picked up his daughter in his left arm. He took Tori's left hand in his other, and together they walked down the strip of sand.
"Daddy? Mummy?" Paige asked as they were walking.
"What Paige?" Tori asked. Paige looked down at the strange tattoo on her mother's left forearm, and on her father's as well.
"Why do you have those?" she asked pointing to Blake's. Both parents smiled and continued walking.
"Well honey, a long time ago there were six brave ninjas- Green, Crimson, Yellow, Navy, Blue, and Red. . . . . "
