So without further ado, the 9th and final chapter!
I could hear slight whispers next to my bed, but I ignored them. The boys are probably plotting against Austin again, I thought.
I rolled over slightly, shoving my face in the pillow to block out the rays of sunlight seeping through my translucent eyelids, making small red and orange patterns dance across my eyes.
More whispers, coming closer, and a giggle. I continued to keep my eyes closed.
"WAKE UP MOMMY!" shouted two sweet, angelic, and very loud voices, that belonged to Kanto and my younger boy Reed, as they jumped on my bed and ripped off my covers, laughing.
Their voices were joined by another, slightly deeper and older voice. I opened my eyes to see Austin standing at the edge of our bed, cheering on the boys.
I glared at him. "Austin, I really hope you didn't tell the boys to do that," I scolded, but he just kept on smiling at me. " Why shouldn't I?" he asked defiantly.
I shook my head. " Because it would be extremely bad for your health!" I exclaimed, and I pulled him onto the bed with me, pushing his head into the pillows and sitting on his back.
He quickly shook me off, and the whole family began tackling and teasing each other. Just another morning in the Moon household.
We had a quick breakfast, and I glanced at Austin, wondering if he remembered the plan. He smiled at me to reassure me, than he cleared his throat.
"Boys, how would you like to come with me to see some of the guitars I sell?" he asked. The boys, who were extreme music lovers, jumped up and started shouting that they wanted to go 'NOW NOW NOW!'. But there was a slight disappointment in Reed's face, and he looked at me with an expression like: 'you've forgotten something'. It bothered me to look at, even though I knew that we, in fact, had prepared for the thing we were 'forgetting' for about a month.
Austin quickly got them in the car, and then they drove off, leaving me about an hour to get prepared. I ran into the kitchen, opened a drawer, and ripped out a gigantic bag of balloons. It took me about twenty minutes to blow them up and hang them, and I knew I was running late, so I called all the guests, telling them to come immediately and help out.
Soon Trish, Dez, their kids, and all our other guests had arrived, and I set them to work. Hanging up streamers. throwing confetti all over, and finally, picking out hiding spots. When everyone had hidden, I texted Austin and turned out the light.
We're ready :), it said. In about five minutes I heard the door opening, and Kanto shouting out, "Mom, we're home! Why are all the lights turned out?".
I vaguely saw Reed come in, than the figure of Austin reaching his hand towards the light switch. When the light came on, everyone jumped out of their hiding spots, either yelling 'Surprise!' or 'Happy 4th Birthday Reed!'.
Reed's face instantly brightened, and he ran towards me with open arms, exclaiming happily "You didn't forget!".
I smiled at his innocent face then let go. "Go have fun!" I exclaimed, and then he ran off to see his friends, and everyone had an awesome time, especially when Reed blew out all the candles on his birthday cake.
At about 2 o'clock, everyone had to leave, and I started to dress up the boys in their bathing suits. In a flash we were in the car, driving to Reed's secret 'Birthday Present Giving Area', as we had called it.
Soon, I could smell the salty air, and I could see the slightest stretch of sand in the distance. Reed looked at me, surprised. " The beach? THATS where we're going?" he asked. "Not just a beach" I corrected him. " The most important place to me."
We parked the car, and immediately ran towards the waves. I waded in the shallows, thinking, letting memories flow through me, and suddenly felt cold ocean water down my back.
I cringed for a moment, then yelled "BOYS!". I heard them laughing behind me, and I started splashing them back, yelling "GIRLS RULE ALL!". We continued the water fight for about an hour, then we dried off and ate the picnic that Austin had brought with us.
Reed soon got his presents, then he asked us to tell them the story of how Austin and I met. Austin and I looked into each others eyes, smiling, then began the tale.
When we were finished, I sighed. "I can still see it now!" I said in awe. Austin nodded. " Me too," he agreed.
Soon we had too drive home. As I was tucking in Reed, he asked me an unexpected question.
"Mommy, do you think anyone will ever love me like you love Austin?" he asked, and I hesitated for a moment, taken aback from the question, even though I already knew the answer.
"Definitely!" I told him, and he smiled. I kissed his forehead and retreated to my bedroom, still thinking about the day me and Austin met. "The best thing that has ever been mine," I whispered, smiling at the repetitive nature of my thoughts, then I nodded off to sleep.
