EPILOGUE

ALEX

I look down at the chicken I prepared. I just followed the stuffs that was in the cookbook and sigh when the outcome wasn't like it was on the picture. I slapped my hand on the book and it fell down on the floor. I did not dare to pick it up for I'm so annoyed right now.

It's been almost a year after that very mind blowing prank--and surprise at the same time--Cade and Caine with the guys, have given me.

It really surprises me when the guys told me that it was their entire plan including that of Cade and Caine fighting. Caiden thought it was all true but by the time he went to the airport, the twins followed him and told him about all this.

I cannot forget those memories we've had back on that island. The way we walk around the streets of London, have gone to the city of love and the ancient architectures at Italy, it's all perfect. I would like to repeat that all over again.

"Hey, sweet cheeks" Someone kissed me from behind and I turn around to see no other than Caiden.

"Can you please stop calling me that or else I'll call you mignon poupee!" I said trying not to laugh. He looks at me with that suspicious look as he starts to point his finger.

"Hmm, you really are using those French names at me again, I better use something at you too" he said smiling down at me. My lips curled and turn into a smile.

He hugged me and put his arms on my waist. It felt so natural that I can see myself smiling widely."Sweet cheeks, do you still remember that night at the beach?" I look at him questioningly and he just shrugged.

"Hmm, you don't remember it, good thing though," He smiled and stalked off.

"Wait, what is that? What happened?" I asked pulling him back, acting as if I do not remember that night.

The night we've spent at the island once again after the trip from Paris. That was beautiful when we dance together under the moonlight and how he made love to me once again.

My cheeks instantly burn from that memory. "Sweet cheeks, you better remember or else little one will be soooo disappointed" He laugh at my face and then pinched my nose.

"What was that for?-And Who are you talkin' about?" I asked, hmm I wonder who's little one will get disappointed?

Tommy?

Nuuh he's a big boy now to be called as a little one.

And then it hit me. He saw it! He saw the stick. I just stared at his retreating form and before eating the chicken I was cooking. That action made me gag because it's hot. I pulled my tongue out and wipe it with my towel.I followed him out of the patio and sat on the chair. He was there smiling at me innocently as he flip the pages of the magazine. I snatch it off his hands and continue my glare.

It wasn't long after when I spoke, "How'd you know?"

He just pulled me at his lap and gave me a sloppy kiss "Eew! Urgggh, you're so irritating. I hate you I hate you, I HAYy--" He gave me another kiss but this time it was right on my lips.

"Oh, C'mon Alex. Why didn't you tell me sooner, huh?" His brows furrowed but I just hid my face on his chest-Smelling that familiar minty with a summer hint scent. "I am just, afraidthatyoudon’twant!" I all but scream and mumbled at his chest.

His chest rumbled as he chuckled. I slap his chest and he gave me a girly, owww, "Alex, I love everything about you. I love the way your brows furrowed with curiosity or when you are annoyed," He smooth his fingers on my brows as I wait for his next line, “I love that cute little dimple which appears on the side of your lips when you laugh or scream at me, and that nose,"

He gave me a cheeky grin as I tried to slap him again. He caught it before it landed on his chest," Oh and that lips," He gave me a peck. "Don't you ever think of me hating you Alex or that little bean growing inside you. I love him or her; Even if he or she will be as annoying and stubborn as you." I just frowned down at my fingers as the fear of being a mother crept unto me.

"But I'm not yet sure, Cade. I am afraid to tell you because it might just be a false alarm or something like that. I'm afraid to disappoint you, Cade and I'm afraid that I won't be a good mother material. I can't even cook a freaking fried chicken and I'm even afraid to handle a toddler, much for a baby! I will not be the good and perfect mother, Cade..." A tear fall from my eyes but he kissed it away.

"Shhh...shush it down. Don't worry, I'll be here. Alex, I will always be with you every step of the way. No matter what happen, even if you cannot cook a fried chicken, remember we can always order one." I slap him again but he just chuckled. "We can even enroll you to those classes that taught about things on how to take care a baby. I can even learn with you."

He tightened his hold around me and held on him tighter. I just look at those midnight orbs and let them comfort me. He is my strength as I face this new chapter. It made me happy that I got to be the luckiest woman to have this jerk as his husband.

I gave him another cheeky grin as I stood up. I gave him a very painful pinch at his cheeks and ran, laughing as I went in, screaming "You're IT!!!"
