Sandle fic. Only two more chapters of this. I was suddenly attacked by plot bunnies so I had to throw in this chapter. The next one will be the wedding and the last will be an epilogue. All other stories are still on hold until this is finished. Enjoy! Had to go back nd fix a few things here too, so yeah...

You finally find

You and I Collide

He placed a chaste kiss on her lips and a gentle one on Leigh's forehead, cradling a sleeping Emily in his arms. "I'll miss you," he whispered.

She smiled, resting her forehead against his throat. "It's just for one night." She reminded him of the fact that she was staying with Catherine as tomorrow was the wedding. And no matter how much he begged he wasn't going to see her before it.

"Either way," Greg pouted. "I want to be with you…"

Sara flashed a toothy grin and looked at their twins. "I'm so happy."

Just as Greg opened his mouth to speak, a series of unflattering throat clearings and a distinctive 'ahem' stopped him.

"Gregory Hojem Sanders…" a deep male voice boomed.

Greg swallowed hard and slowly turned around. "Dad… Mom… Katie…Brian... What are you doing here?" he had to say it rather loudly as Dakota had started barking.

"Did you forget to tell us about a certain wedding?" His father, Braden, asked, quite obviously not thrilled.

Greg shot a glare at his sister and brother, one of hurt, not of hate.

Katie dropped her shoulders, her long dirty blonde hair falling into her face. "I'm sorry Greggo. It slipped out…" Brain also apologizing for the mishap.

Sara shrugged and shifted Leigh in her arms. She gave Greg a reassuring smile and adjusted Emily's warm snowman adorned onesey.

Anna, Greg's mother, heaved an agitated sigh and looked around the kitchen. "How could you neglect us? Your family! We love you!"

Greg shifted his weight and unconsciously rocked Emily from side to side, "I… mom…"

Braden crossed his arms over his chest. "You've disappointed us, Greg. Your wedding is the biggest day of your life. How could you leave us out?"

Greg turned to the twin baby carriers on the island in the center of the kitchen and placed his eldest baby girl in, strapping her tiny body securely to the seat. He turned toward Sara doing the same with Leigh, mulling words around in his head.

Before Greg could answer his father's question, Anna spoke: "You never said," she turned toward Brian. "That she'd already been married."

Sara's eyes widened as she lopped a finger through Greg's belt loop.

"She wasn't…" Greg scowled. "The stork got his addresses mixed up."

Greg watched Sara bite her lip as Anna sucked in a short breath. He grabbed her hand, giving it a tight squeeze.

Brianwatched his father's anger level rise substantially. "Dad…"

"What are you saying, Gregory?" Braden asked, looking at the sleeping twins.

"They're my daughters. This is Emily Kathleen Sanders and her little sister, Leigh Morgan. They're three and a half months old." Greg watched Emily yawn and touched her tiny hand, letting her curl her fingers around his one.

Anna covered her mouth. "My grandchildren?" Katie and Brian both smiled.

Greg looked at Sara and grinned.

"Gregory Hojem Sanders…" Braden was fuming.

Katie looked from Greg to her father. "Daddy…" she tried to save Greg from the impending rant, but Greg beat her to it.

"Dad, I'm thirty years old. I can make my own decisions. Marrying Sara and raising the twins is what I choose." Greg said. "Now, please stop insulting my fiancé."

Braden refrained from yelling for the sake of the babies. "We raised you differently. As a gentleman."

Sara, who had been trying to stay quiet throughout this whole conversation, snapped. "Greg is a gentleman, more so than any man I've ever met."

"What does that say about the men you've met," Greg's father replied. "If our son went out and did…" he gestured toward the infants on the island. "Did this?"

"Enough," Greg said, stepping in front of Sara. "Leave. Now."

"Greg-" Anna started.

He cut her off. "No. If you continue to insult my family I will have nothing more to say to you except stay out of my life. Sara, Emily, and Leigh mean everything to me and if you can't accept that…" Before he could think of an adequate threat there was a knock on the door.

"Catherine," Sara said, walking toward the front door, Dakota starting into a whole new barking fit.

Sara, with both Catherine and Lindsey returned to the unusual amount of people in the kitchen.

Lindsey petted Dakota for a moment before looking to the adults. "Uncle Greg can I go play with Romeo and Juliet?"

Greg nodded. "Sure, Linds. I think they're hiding in there." He gestured toward one of the two rooms to his right which wasn't being used for much at the moment.

She nodded and went to find the cats. Once she was out of sight Catherine turned to thesix people still in the room. "Um… Hi?" she said, glancing at thefour she didn't recognize, she looked over to Greg. "Your parents?"

Greg shook his head. "Not anymore," he replied coldly, picked up the two baby carriers and walked upstairs. Sara let out a sigh and followed after telling Catherine she'd be back in a minute.

He was in their room, Emily on his chest as he lay on his back on the bed. "I'm sorry," he told her, looking over to her. "I knew what would happen if they showed up, I didn't want him insulting you, or my babies."

She smiled, sitting beside him on the bed, pressing a soft kiss to his lips.

There was a soft tapping at the door and Lindsey poked her head in. "Aunt Sara, Mom wants to know if you're still coming with us?"

Sara sighed, kissed Greg and Emily again, picked up Leigh, who was still in the baby carrier, grabbed a small bag off the floor and walked out of the room behind Lindsey. "Love you, Greggo," she called back to him.

"I love you, too!" he yelled, bouncing Emily lightly on his chest.

That's it for this chapter, I would have put this and the wedding together but it would've been way too long… so I'll get to work on the wedding and give you this now. And I had to go back and give Greg a brother for one of many polt bunnies that has emereged whislt writing the wedding.Review!
