The sound of seagulls and waves crashing woke up Nellie Barker. Well that and-

"Waaah!" came the wail from the basinet across the room.

"I suppose Toby's up." Said the gruff, sleep-heavy voice of Benjamin who lay beside her.

"I've got him," Nellie smiled, rising from her bed. She reached into the child's bed to pick him up and cradle him. The six month old whimpered in her arms.

"Hush love, mummy's gotcha. Nothin's gonna harm ya, darling." She kissed his head. The baby's cries hushed slowly. His brown eyes were open wide, and a small hand was being engulfed by a tiny mouth. "He's hungry, I think."

"Let's go make him his bottle." Ben said as he stretched and got up.

Down the small hallway, they could hear springs squeaking, and sure enough when they reached the end, a five year old was hopping on the couch.

"Johanna," Ben said in a warning tone.

The small blonde girl stopped jumping when she saw him. She scrambled off the couch and ran over towards him. "Good morning!" she beamed as she hugged his waist. Ben couldn't help but smile back at his angel and kiss her head. "Good morning, pet." She let go of him and turned to Nellie.

"Morning Mum!" "Morning love." She squeezed, rather, hugged, her mum tightly before letting go to stand on her tip toes. "Good morning Toby!" Then she turned to her father. "Breakfast?"

"Soon dear." He replied, making his way to the adjacent kitchen.

"Wot are we doing today, mum?"

"I'm not sure darlin', but why don't we keep daddy some company while he's cooking though yea? And then we can plan the day."

"Okay!" The girl skipped to the table in the kitchen, her mother right behind her.

They sat down at the kitchen table together. Johanna began to babble to her daddy about the sea shells she found on her window sill, while Nellie reflected on her life. Five years ago, she was a widow and her lifelong best friend began a relationship with her. Three years later, business was booming and she and her best friend got married. Now, she's living her dream. She had a beautiful seaside house and a wonderful little family, now complete with the addition of her little boy, Tobias. Nellie Barker got the happy ending she never thought she'd have.

The end.

Now what do I do with my fanfiction life? Oh noes.
