As the car pulled up outside the Ritz Jake reached for Laura's hand and gave it a squeeze. He knew she was dreading tonight she'd complained for days about what was coming up. But, she hadn't said she wouldn't come and that meant a great deal. She looked over at him smiling brightly she touched her necklace as she smoothed her dress the same diamond necklace Jake had given her five years ago today.

'Okay Harrison lets do this.' She grimaced as she looked at him.

'Listen it'll be great, we'll have a blast the kids will love it. Charlie's been talking about it for days and have I told you how much I love you and I know you like me.' He gave a cheeky grin as he caught her indignant glare. He went to speak again but she put a hand up to stop him speaking.

'Stop!

Your Mother told the children they would be getting presents so of course they couldn't wait to go. Five years ago you told your Mother she could throw us a big party. No don't give me your big puppy eyes look it doesn't work on me anymore I'm immune. You let her do it and probably 500 people are waiting for us in there I should kill you.'

Jake looked across at his wife as she sat staring at him her face furious but her eyes laughing as she spoke. He loved her so much and never a day went by when he didn't realise how lucky he was to have found her, the last few years had been amazing. To think after everything they'd been through to still be so happy and in love was a testament to her no doubt about that. They were blessed to have two beautiful children he looked at her rounded stomach and smiled their family was still growing. He reached across and pushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear leaning towards her he captured her lips and was greeted with her sigh of longing as their lips connected. Her hands pulling him closer by the collar of his jacket as she deepened the kiss her tongue darting into his mouth exploring.

Five years of marriage and he still couldn't keep his hands off her, right now he wanted nothing more than to find a room and get her naked but, he knew his Mother would't tolerate that. Slowly he disentangled himself and pulled back a regretful smile hovering over his lips.

'And 4.'

'Oh my God woman you're killing me. Stop.' He burst out laughing as she wagged a finger at him he grabbed it bringing it up to his lips they smiled at each other as the driver opened the door. Jake hopped out and took Laura's hand she stepped out leaning on him as she straightened up. She was eight months pregnant and to him she had never been more beautiful, more desirable. They heard voices and turned to see Charlie and Emma running towards them Charlie flinging himself at Jake as Emma stood waiting for him to pick her up.

'Dad you wont believe what Granny got me.'

Jake smiled ruffling Charlies hair as he looked over at Laura's annoyed face. 'Okay scamp tell me what is it.'

'An electric scooter and its got my name on it.' She says I can take it when we go to Italy.'

Jake laughed. 'Is that right well, if Granny says that you know she means it.' He could see Laura wanting to speak but stopping herself as Charlie carried on talking quickly. Emma cuddled into his neck. 'Kiss Daddy.'

'Of course Emma sorry naughty Daddy forgetting that. How's my special girl?' Emma gave a giggle as Jake blew kisses into her neck. He reached across to Laura gently pulling her towards him. 'Harrison hug everyone.' Charlie threw his arms around them both as he joined in. Jake looked across at Laura and blew her a kiss unable to connect with her mouth with Emma in between them.

'I like Harrison hugs Daddy.' Emma looked earnestly up at her father as she said it. Jake leaned down and whispered to her. 'Me too Em.' They pulled apart reluctantly and Jake looked past their little group Anna was hovering close by she looked nervous not sure whether to come forward or not, Charlie turned and called her she walked towards them slowly.

'Laura darling you look exquisite that necklace is so beautiful I always like to see it on you.' Anna smiled down at Laura as she gave her a hug.

'Thanks Anna you look lovely too.' Anna blushed and ran a hand down the Chanel dress she was wearing. 'Oh this old thing I found it at the back of the wardrobe.' Jake spluttered in shock there was no way his Mother would be in an old dress. He looked across at Laura who was mouthing to him to shut up.

'Now come on lets go inside. I'm afraid Jules and Lauren have insisted on a surprise I had nothing to do with it I just want to get that out now.' Laura gave a look of concern as Anna spoke and Jake gave a wink . 'Don't worry sure it'll be fine.' He gave a short laugh as he finished speaking Laura felt anything but calm thinking about a surprise the two of them had been involved in. Why had she agreed to this night? Looking at Anna so happy she knew how much it meant to her so said nothing.

'Granny, Granny.'

Anna looked across at Emma who had her arms outstretched. 'Harrison hug.' She pulled Anna forward and Charlie darted back putting his arms around her too. 'Come on Mum squeeze in. 'He clutched at Laura and she stepped forward laughing Jake reached a hand out and found Laura's his eyes twinkling as he said. 'Gotta love a Harrison hug people.'

Laura breathed in Anna's scent as they all hugged she'd worn Chanel No 5 all her life she'd told her once. To Laura it epitomised everything about Anna classic and posh. As they broke the Harrison hug Anna reached for Laura's hand and proceeded to tell her about the party as she led her into The Ritz. 'Now darling its just a few of our closest friends I'm sure you will love it.'

Laura looked over her shoulder trying to catch Jake's eye but he was kneeling down talking to Emma. Charlie arrived by their side. 'Oh Mum wait until you see who is here.'

'Charlie.' Anna spoke sharply letting him know to keep quiet and Laura began to panic. They'd been through a lot the last few years and she'd made sure that Anna was included it hadn't been easy the Harrison people had a wild streak and she'd become the family peacemaker over the years four of them with the same headstrong behaviour was exhausting. Charlie so like Jake and Anna said growing more like Will everyday. Emma such a daddy's girl who got away with everything she was going to be a terror as she grew up Jake was a soft touch around her. But life was good they were a very happy family and she felt blessed and contented.

Anna moved quickly as she pulled Laura through the hotel. Charlie was on the other side of Anna and Laura zoned out as the two of them carried on talking. She was dreading tonight eight months pregnant feeling like a beached whale and having to spend the evening with a group of Anna's friends. People she didn't know, had nothing in common with. They paused outside the door and she felt Jake slip his hand into hers as he bent down brushing his lips across hers.

'Okay lets do this'. Laura took a deep breath and signalled to Charlie to open the door to The Music Room. Hundreds of people stood behind there Laura thought sooner I get in sooner it will be over. She stepped through the door but didn't see hundreds of people. The room was much smaller than she had envisaged, she saw everyone from 'The Kentish' and they all began clapping and cheering as she walked in Jules came over and hugged her.

'Whats going on Jule's I don't understand.'

'Anna wanted to recreate your wedding day so everyone is here. I don't know how the old bat did it but she did she did everything Lauren and I were a bit redundant to be honest.'Laura looked around the room her eyes brimming with tears she turned to Anna and stretched out her arms hugging her mother in law. 'Anna this is amazing I'm stunned. Thank you.'

Anna wiped tears from her own face. 'I wanted it to be special something we will always remember.'

xxxxxxx

Jake twirled his wife on the dance floor to Billy Joel he was singing in her ear as they swayed in time to the song.

'What a night eh?'

'I cant believe it all the old gang from the hotel its like a dream I'm astonished seriously.'

Jake smiled as he pulled her closer. 'She did this for you Laura.'

'I know I really expected 500 strangers and this has been the opposite just a truly magical evening.'

'It's not over yet we have a suite upstairs and Ellie and the kids are across the hall.' Jake whispered into her ear and chuckled knowing that Laura would be asleep in minutes cuddling a pillow. She stopped dancing and pushed him backwards her face pale. 'Jake it's definitely not over I didn't want to say it earlier but erm, I'm definitely in labour and I think we should go to the hospital now.'

Jake jumped back. 'No it cant be happening he's too early.' One look at Laura's face told him otherwise and he began searching the room for Lauren, he signalled to her to get the car and put his arm around Laura to guide her out. As people realised what was happening more cheering and whooping ensued. Charlie ran over to them closely followed by Anna, Ellie having taken Emma to bed a couple of hours earlier.

They stood outside waiting for the car to be brought around, Jake holding onto Laura's hand as she stood trying to control a contraction her face contorted in pain. There was much discussion about Charlie and Emma with Anna telling them not to worry she was here and in control.

Jake got Laura into the car and ran around to the other door waving to the crowd who had come out to see them off. He did her seatbelt up and fell back against the seat taking her hand in his. 'Here we go again' Laura laughed at his words. 'We always have a bit of drama eh?' He took hold of her hand as he grinned at her and nodded his excitement evident as he watched her. 'Drama is our middle name.'

As they drove away from The Ritz and headed towards the hospital she reached over taking his face in her hands, kissing him softly as she whispered.

'I love you and I like you.'

Smiling he responded quietly. 'Ditto.'

So there we have it the final chapter in the Harrison world - I do love a happy ending.
