Yes! There is a chapter 13... and this will be the beginning of the end. Lemme tell ya something before you go on with my little story. I'm in my senior year in HS and we need to submit our OWN story with the minimum of 10 chapters. I was already at 14 so what the heck. I had this finished pronto and well, it's rushed yes but I hope you like it.

They sat down on the sofa, huddled together with Sammy beside Nick and Little Nicky between their parents. Nick had ridden up Sara's sweater to reveal a simple white tee stretched over her bulging stomach. He placed his warm hand over her bellybutton and kissed her fully. "I love you... I'm so glad you all are here," he said to them. The little girl squirmed on her seat, as she wanted to join the cuddle. "Move in with me?"

Sara smiled sweetly and said, "We were kind of hoping of that, Nick." She laced her fingers with him on her tummy and continued, "Babe, this life inside me... the proof that I love you so much. And these two over her," beckoning to the twins who chuckled lightly, "are the reasons why I feel this is forever. Time healed my wounds. I know it healed yours as well. Still, I want you to know that with or without our children... I will always be here to be your best friend, colleague, lover, and hopefully soon... your wife. I love you, Nick Stokes... with all my heart and soul."

TWO MONTHS AFTER...SARA

"Keep still, Mommy!" Sammy almost screamed at me as she insisted she zipper my gown up. "There, all queeny."

I picked her up and adjusted her flower headdress. "Queeny? Why not princessy?"

She chuckled. "Don't be silly, Mommy. I'm the princess, see!" She twirled around on the bed and sprinkled rose petals and periwinkle heads all over and picked them up again. She put them in her big flower basket and said, "You're the queen of my, Nicky's and Daddy's heart. I love you..." she hugged me and gave me baby kisses. "Mommy's so beautiful."

"Aw, thanks. So as you," I said. I looked at the mirror and sighed. Here I am, six months pregnant; bulging at my middle... I can't complain about what pregnancy did for my chest, though. It filled out a full 34B cup. My skin was glowing and the make-up made me glow more. I wore my hair back in the curls that Nick loves and wore my confidence higher than usual. "Sweetie, would you like to make a call to Daddy? Check if he and Little Nicky are okay?"

"Sure thing!" and then she flipped open my cell phone and speed dialed Nick's number.

I sat down and put on some red crystal slippers to match the pink of my simple wedding dress. I can't believe that I am getting married to the man I love with all my life. Nick Stokes. My best friend. The father of my children... my soon-to-be husband. I want the whole world to know that I am in love with this Texan and I am pregnant with his little... hmm... maybe that's my little wedding gift to him.

NICK

"Hello, Sara?" I answer my ringing phone.

"No, Daddy... it's me!" Sammy said excitedly. "You're not s'posed to talk to Mommy yet. She told me to call you."

"Really, baby? How are you then? It's been a long week now. Me and Little Nicky over here miss you girls so much," I answer, relieved that I hear my little daughter's voice again. I'm staying at Grissom and Catherine's with Little Nicky. Lindsey couldn't be happier; she got someone to play with.

I hear her little feet jumping on the bed. "Uh... I missed you guys, too. Very much!" I could picture her in her red flower girl dress jumping up and down with a wide grin on her face. "Mommy's so beautiful and she looks like a queen and I'm her princess and Little Nicky's the princey and you're the king." I couldn't believe how she could say something that long and fast with just one breath; obviously from Sara.

"Whoa, whoa, slow down, you cowgirl," I chuckle as she continues her babble. "That's good to know. Hey baby girl, can you tell Mommy that I can't wait to see her later and I love her so much."

"How about me?"

With a smile on my face, I answer, "Of course, I love you. Now go tell Mommy that and I'll hold the line, okay?" She excused herself politely and the next thing I heard was Sara's sweet voice.

"I love you, too baby. Can't wait for later..." and then the line went off with a little, "Mwah!"

The Nicky walked in dressed in a kid's tuxedo looking sharp and handsome. He was having trouble with his tie. "Daddy, can you fix this? I can't make odds and ends of it." I knelt and fixed his tie. "There! Now we look like each other now," he said puffing up his chest and checking himself on the mirror. "Daddy, how are Mommy and Sammy?"

I picked him up and sat him on the bed, "They're fine, little man. I can't wait to see them again. Are you happy?" He responded with a very cheerful, "Very!" He's as energetic as his twin. "Hey, I'm going to show you something. Tell me if Mommy will like it, okay?"

He waited patiently as I showed him our wedding rings. Mine was a simple gold band with Sara's name engraved inside. She handpicked it for me on the very day they flew over from San Francisco. Then, there was hers. "Oh Daddy, Mommy will surely love it!" Nicky exclaimed. It was gold and platinum woven around each other. The gold symbolizes my fiery love for her and the platinum means forever. I got this the same day I searched for the engagement ring. Nicky clapped his hands and smiled at me with the same eyes as my own. "Mommy will love you for it!"

I know, baby. I know.

Ya know, I was kinda thinking for an idea for a trilogy. The next stories will be of Archie and Hannah... what do you think? Go punch that purple button with a "go!". Make sure it's on the "Make a Review". Thanks oh so much!
