"I'm home!"

"In the kitchen, honey!" I switched off the cooking channel and placed the casserole in the open. Maxon entered the room and dropped his suitcase on the dining table.

"Uh uh, the suitcase goes into the cabinet," I said, patting his cheek.

He wrapped his arms around me and groaned, "I'll do that later, how was your day?"

"Same old, I had to drop one kid off at the hospital due to a broken leg,"

"What happened?" He asked, pinching a piece of toasted bread from the rack.

"Nah-ah!" I slapped his hands and the bread dropped back onto the rack. He yelped and frowned.

"Hey! I'm hungry!" He complained, rinsing his burned fingers.

"Serves you right for nabbing hot bread. You can wait until the kids wake up. Anyways, going back to what happened today, poor Albert got bowled over by one of my second years. I swear that kid is a danger magnet!" I chucked the plates into the dishwasher and turned around. Maxon had a few suspicious crumbs around his mouth and I quirked an eyebrow.

"I'm innocent, I swear!" I rolled my eyes and resumed loading the dishes.

"How was your day?" Maxon was now the principal of the academy. It was handed down to him as soon as he graduated. Clarkson had been fired and Aiden was still in jail. After his second year of working, Maxon proposed and we got married in the third year.

It was a beautiful day, I couldn't have imagined anything more perfect for my wedding day. The dress, the food, the beach, the groom...was absolutely perfect.

Halfway through the fourth year, I fell pregnant with two girls. I loved watching them grow inside my belly, I loved every flutter, kick, and bump. Even though I lost most of my sleeping time.

"It was ok, the planning for the new pool is moving on very slowly. I managed to hire a new science teacher."

"The academy is getting a new pool! Lucky kids, we didn't have a pool when we were there!" I heard the sound of crying. "Op! The twins are awake."

Maxon and I walked towards the nursery. Amberly had a ball decorating it.

"Hello," I cooed, picking baby Harper up. Maxon had Esme cradled in his arms.

Both babies had soft tufts of strawberry blonde hair on their heads. Their rosy cheeks were flushed and their small pink lips puckered.

Harper opened her bright blue eyes and blinked slowly, tracing my chin with her delicate finger.

"Hey baby, are you hungry?" Esme let out little noises and Maxon chuckled.

"Swap?" Maxon and I exchanged kids. Esme's grassy green eyes were wide open and she smiled a small, toothless smile. My babies were beautiful.

"Aren't you a pretty princess? You and your sister are pretty little butterflies!" Maxon rocked Harper side to side, humming a little song.

The four of us slowly made our way to the dining room. After the babies were given their bottles, Maxon and I settled down to have dinner.

Ding dong.

Maxon groaned and stood up, "I can't even have dinner in peace!"

I chuckled and shooed him off, "quickly, don't leave the guests waiting."

I heard the door open and sounds of cheers and greetings.

"America!"

"Marlee! Eadlyn!" Both of my girlfriends rushed in with their kids.

Eadlyn had two kids. Kerttu and Henri, Kerttu was the same age as the twins and Henri was 3. Both of her kids had gray eyes and brown hair.

Marlee had two kids as well, Jack and Kile. The boys were both two, blonde, green-eyed and future heartbreakers.

"How are my two favorite twin princesses!?" Eadlyn gushed, tickling their bellies. She laid Kerttu down next to them and I kissed her little nose.

Jack, Kile, and Henri ran off to join Maxon, Carter, and Eikko in the Men's room. Yeah, our house was so big we had a Men's room.

After a few, "How's life?" and, "you'll never believe who I ran into yesterday!" The males finally decided to join us. We all sat down next to our respective partners and I figured Maxon and I weren't going to have dinner anytime soon. Quickly placing tonight's dinner into the fridge, I went back into the living room.

Time flew by in a second and by the time the clock struck midnight, our guests had left and the twins were in bed. Maxon and I slowly trudged to our bedroom.

"I'm so tired," he yawned.

"Ditto, you still hungry?"

"Nah, I had a late lunch with office staff anyways. You?"

"Perfect." And I was. What more could I want?

TA DA! I'm back! Hopefully you guys enjoyed the outtake. (I know, I may have skipped like...3 years). But anyways...I hope you guys have a great Christmas and a happy new year!

BTW... keep your eyes peeled for a new story. No promises (winks).
