"Sky honey leave bones alone" April instructs her daughter who just keeps bothering their sleeping dog.
"Me play Mama" Sky says sitting down in a huff making April laugh.
"Go play with your dolly"
"Me play bones" Skylar scrunched up her nose making an annoyed face making April laugh even more.
"Bones is sleeping princess" She tells her daughter who was still not having any of it "Come watch Princesses"
"Maaama" Skylar groaned crossing her little arms "Me. Play. Bones"
"His sleeping Sky. Leave him in peace" April tells her daughter again "Daddy will be home soon with breakfast" April tells her daughter while checking over the papers she brought home from work and just on cue Reece walked through the front door.
"Why the long face princess?" Reece bent down and kissed Skylar on the head "Hmm?"
"Me play with bones. Mama say no" Skylar pouted poking out her bottom lip and April shakes her head. Such a daddy's girl.
"How about we eat food instead" Reece tells Skylar picking her up and taking her to the kitchen.
"Fries and Berry?" Skylar questions her little brow raising.
"Of course" Reece smiles. Ever since Sky dipped a french fry into her strawberry milkshake last month that is all she wants from the cafe or wherever we go to eat. Yeeep my kid is not normal.
"She has you wrapped around her tiny finger" April laughs following Reece into the kitchen shaking her head.
"Yeah and so does her mother, but hey if my girls are happy then I'm happy" Reece leans in and kisses April lighting on the lips.

"October didn't you change the sheets last night?" Kieran asked as October took the sheet of the bed.
"Yeah, but I want the black one on instead of the purple one now" October answered getting a laugh from her boyfriend.
"Well anyway aren't we going over to April's today?" October nodded "What time?"
"Soon"
"How are you feeling?" Kieran asked wrapping his arms around her waist "No morning sickness at all"
"Nah and thank god for that" October leaned into Kieran "April had bad morning sickness"
"Yeah I remember Reece telling me" Kieran nodded "You and Lilly are gonna be pregnant together"
"Yeah I can't wait for the shopping" October smiled "But first I have to tell April and my parents and Lilly"
"Yeah today at April's right?"
"Yeeep" October nods "Now let's go get ready"

It had just gone 12 noon and everyone was at Aprils house. Brooke and Lucas. Lilly and Liam. October and Kieran. Jamie and his girlfriend and April's bestfriend from New York Zoe who April introduced a year ago to Jamie. They seemed to hit it off pretty good and then of course Nathan and Haley with 2 year old Lydia.
"Skylar please put that down" April made a stern face at her daughter "Now Skylar"
"But me want one" Skylar held the juice box in her hand "Pwease"
"Okay fine, but only one" April took the straw from the juice box and poked it into the juice "Now suck from here and don't stain your dress okay"
"Otay Mama" Skylar ran off into the crowd.
"She's precious" October says coming up behind her sister "I'm excited to have a baby running around soon" October rubbed her stomach which April saw, but choose to ignore.
"She's also a nightmare and a monster and the worst part is she takes after me" April tells her sister running her hand through her blond hair "One stubborn daddy's girl I have there"
"Oh you weren't that bad" October then laughs when she sees April raise her eye brow "Okay maybe you were just a little and you weren't a daddy's girl"
"Yeah I know O" April says with a small smile "But god Sky is a daddy's girl. Reece will let her get away with anything and it makes me out to be the bad guy" April tells her sister with a sigh "God I'm dreading her teenage years"
"Oh A, you have a long way to go"
"Yeah thank god" April smiles walking to find her daughter.

"I never did thank you for giving me Jamie" Zoe says sitting down beside her bestfriend April with a smile plastered on her face "I mean after Calvin I didn't think I could or would ever be able to move on and love someone again, but A you brought me back and I'm so truly thankful for that"
"Zo" April smiles turning to her bestfriend and taking her hand "I liked Calvin and I always did think you and he were so good together and if I'm honest I thought you and him were soul mates and would live your happy ever after like you should have. You and he were together for 5 years Zo and he was your world and you were his and everyone knew it and everyone could see it and I was truly happy for you" A tear slowly slipped down Zoe's cheek "Then when you called me after I had Sky and told me that he had died in a car crash my heart broke and I just wanted to fly to New York and grab you and never let you go again, but I knew deep down that you'd get through it because you're the strongest person I know and I love you Zo... So much. I could hear you break through your voice and I knew that your heart had shattered and I just wish I was there with you when they told you. I should have been there to hold you as you cried and I'm sorry for that Zo" April wipes her tear away and kisses her hand "Yeah your happy with Jamie and yeah you love him, but even though his my cousin Calvin was and always will be your ultimate soul mate, but that doesn't mean that Jamie won't be your happy ever after because he can be. Who said you can't have more than one soul mate"
"I never blamed you for not being there A" Zoe tells me and April nods. She knew she didn't, but that didn't stop the fact that April will always feel bad about it.
"I know"
"You just had Sky and had your own life. I didn't want to burden you with my life and how screwed up everything turned out" Zoe looks at Jamie talking to Kieran and Reece "I love him A" April nods. She also already knew that "And comparing the love I have for him and the love I had for Calvin would be wrong, so I'm not comparing them. I'm just living for the future. Jamie is my future and I hope someday we can start a family too"
"Oh if you joined the Scott family we'd actually be sort of like sisters" April squealed making Zoe laugh "But anyway just know I'm always here Zo and I love you"
"I know and I love you too A" Zoe pulled April into a hug and April hugged her back tight.

"Congratulations O" April walks up behind her sister who was standing at the end of the garden.
"Huh?" October turns around confused by what her sister meant.
"You're pregnant aren't you?" April just knew when she was talking to October earlier and plus their twins. They have a special connection.
"How did you know?" October asks confused "I mean unless you've suddenly come into physic powers or something"
"Earlier" April shrugged "I saw you rub your stomach while we were talking and you said your excited to have a kid running around and I know you O. You were hinting to me, but didn't want to say it"
October smiled then her smiled dropped slowly as she watched Sky and Reece play in the garden "A..."
"Hmm?"
"I'm scared" October admits turning away from Reece and Sky looking back up at her sister "Like really scared"
"Oh O" April pulls her sister into a hug holding her tight "You'll be a fantastic Mom. You're already the best Aunt that Sky could ask for and she loves you to the moon and back"
"Yeah and I love Sky to the moon and back too, but I can always give her back at the end of the day whereas my child I won't and what if I'm a bad mother and my child hates me" October asks her sister.
"Oh sweetie you won't be a bad mother" April assured her "And I know you'll be great and your child will love you as much as I do or maybe even a little more" She tells her thinking back to when she was pregnant with Skylar "And besides I was worried when I was pregnant, but look at me now. I love Sky and she loves me and we are one big happy family. You and Kieran can do this O. I know it"
"Kieran and I can do this can't we A" October questions.
April gives a small smile "Of course you can and besides I'm always gonna be here no matter what"
"I love you A"
"I love you too O"

October had told everyone about her pregnancy just after April and she had their conversation. Everyone was happy and so were October and Kieran.
"Mason you put that down now before I take your cartoons away for a week" Brooke told her 5 year old son "Now Mason"
"Fine!" He put down the vase and walked away.
"Go play with Austin and Bret, I'm sure they'll let you play power rangers with them"
"I'm going" Mason stalked off and went to brood, just like his flaming father Brooke thought to herself.
"So Peyton called this morning" Lucas sits down beside Brooke on the sofa "Her and Chase got married last week"
"Well at least she can finally move on"
"She has a little Girl remember Brooke, I think she moved on awhile ago" Oh right yeah Peyton and Chase had gotten back together and now they have a 4 year old daughter Summer-Marie.
"Yeah I know" Brooke nods watching as Skylar and Lydia play with their dolls "Grandparents at such a young age"
Lucas nods "Yeah I know, but what can we do... Nothing"
"Yeah I know and I wouldn't change Skylar for the world" Brooke smiles as she hears Skylar laughing.
"Nana" She come running over "Papa" She holds up her dolly "Play"
"How about we get some ice cream instead" Lucas tells Sky
"Ly too?"
"Yeah Lydia can come too" Lucas laughs picking both girls up "Come let's kidnap you both for an hour or so" Lucas kisses Brooke on the head "Be back soon Mrs Scott"
"Okay Mr Scott" Brooke smiles back "Love you"
"Love you too Pretty Girl"

"I want to make a toast" April says standing in the centre of the room with a glass of white wine in her hand "I want to wish my sister and Auntie Lilly good luck with their babies and I hope they bring such happiness like Sky has to me and Reece" Everyone smiled and cheered rising their glasses in the air and clinking them together.
"I would also like to do something" Reece says unlinking his fingers with Aprils and standing in front of her. She looked up at him with her big blue eyes taking a small sip of her wine as everyone watched what Reece was doing. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small blue box and April's eyes widened as she chocked on her drink.
"Reece..." She muttered looking around the room and seeing everyone's eyes locked on them. Sky, Lydia, Mason, Bret, Austin all had fallen asleep a while ago and where in the bed rooms "Reece…" She repeated not knowing what to say, but this time Reece cut her off by getting down on one knee as everyone around them grasped. April' hand flung to her mouth as she grasped too.
"You are my world baby and I seem to love you more and more every day. I can't imagine my life without you. I wouldn't ever want to lose you and Sky and if I ever did it would kill me. Yeah we've had our ups and downs, but every time we've come up stronger than ever. I love you April Scott and I will for as long as I will live and I want to spend the rest of my life with you baby girl so will you marry me April Scott and do me the honour in becoming my wife?" Reece declares as he opens the box and there she saw the most gorgeous ring she has ever seen in her entire life. It was a red and white diamond ring with crystals all around and it was absolutely beautiful and she was sure she was about to shed some tears as he eyes started to water. She looked at the ring the back up and Reece not saying anything and no one knew what she was going to say. Her facial expressions not giving away anything.
"Reece…" She mutters again her words getting caught in her throat. All she had to do was say one word, but obviously it wasn't coming out "OMG"
"April baby" Reece says with a worried look on his face "You okay?"
She nods and then a massive smile appeared on her face as she opened her mouth to answer "Of course I'll marry you" She lunges herself at him as he flings his arms around her waist bringing her closer as he plants a kiss on her lips.
"Oh you scared me there baby girl" Reece whispers "I thought you was gonna say no"
"Never" April whispers back.
