HELENA'S POV:

"Row row row your boat, gently down the stream.

Merrily merrily merrily merrily

Life is but a dream."

Heidi and Zack performed rhyme in front of all the family. Everyone clapped for these adorable babies of our family. Little Alen was trying imitate his siblings sitting on Zayden's lap which made him look so cute.

"Wow! Our babies have learnt it so good. This definitely calls for a gift for both of them." Said Diana. She never leaves chance to get gifts for the children. She's like a ginnie for all of them.

"Wow! What would be gift aunty?"

"Yes mommy, what would you gift us?" Questioned Heidi and Zayden.

"And the gift is, all of the children party would play games till late night at our place today!"

"Yay! Aunty is the best!"

"My mommy is the best!" They started jumping on their feet. Heidi was the most happiest as I make sure she sleeps on time every night though she loves to stay till late night.

"But you all will have to finish chocolate milk first." Mom came up with glasses of milk on a tray. It was like a little competition between Heidi, Zack and also Zayden. All three of them left with Diana and Liam to their villa after sometime while I took Alen with me.

Alen looked tired, so I made him sleep on our room on his crib. G, mom, dad and Aiden were downstairs talking about today's day that went so well with our children making it so special. I joined them later, we started talking about how our lives had changed in all these years. I felt nostalgic on remembering the ups and down, rise and fall of us, our relationships and family.

Dad, mom and G walked back to their rooms after a while leaving two of us behind.

"Life has changed a lot, isn't it?" I asked resting my head on his shoulder.

"I'm glad our lives changed for good." He rested his head over my head.

He stood straight after sometime and carried me on his arms. I snaked my arms around his neck loving the attention he was giving to me.

"I've got a gift for you." He said while walking towards our room.

"A gift for me? What's that?" Although I knew he wouldn't tell me so easily, I thought of giving a try.

"Not like that."

"I knew it."

"Of course you do, You're my better half after all."

He walked inside carefully, making sure not to wake up Alen.

"Will you please tell me now?" I whispered as he made me sit on the bed.

"I'll show it to you." He winked at me and walked to the wardrobe. He came back to me with a small box in his hand which was beautifully wrapped.

"Here" As soon as he gave me the box, I started unwrapping it, the excitement was too high to do it slow. When I was busy on getting the gift out of the box, he took a chance to get me on his lap.

A smile appeared on my face when I saw the gift; the photo frame. It had the photograph we had clicked on the hotel in Kansas when we had our food on a couple table. We both were smiling in the photograph, who had guessed that we'd be actually spending all our lives smiling like that?

"This brings so much of memories."

"I know, It reminds me of my Miss thief to me."

"And to me, it reminds me of Mr. Calvin Klein." I chuckled as I placed the frame over the side table besides the lamp. I laid on the bed and started thinking about everything that happened today. Today's day was so beautiful, I didn't want it to get to an end.

"What are you thinking wifey?" He snuggled closer to me and made me face him.

"I was thinking about today. Our Heidi looked so happy, Alen is always smiling, Mom, G and dad are happy on their own, Liam and Diana are going great. Especially Diana; she's overcome her fear of letting people around children. Zayden and Zack are amazing brothers for our children.

Melissa got her life partner, so did Jonathan. And talking about me, I got you, I got the best life partner in you." I said it sincerely, how would have my life been without him? Probably, living along with a broken heart?

AIDEN'S POV:

The feeling I get when she says such words, when she talks about importance of me in her life is something I cannot describe in words. It makes me feel like a man, her man who has someone to love and someone who loves me back.

"I got you as the best gift God granted to me." I kissed one her forehead with all the love I had for her in my heart.

"Who would've thought that I'd fall in love with Mr. Calvin Klein?" She chuckled pulling my cheeks.

"Well I didn't know I'd fall in love with my Miss thief as well. Who would've thought that this beautiful thief would not only steal my cookies and pies but also my heart?"

"And would've think that I could fall in love again after whatever I had to go through." She said giving a bitter smile. She pulled me closer and cupped my face.

"Aiden, thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for sticking by my side when I tried all my best to push you away. Thank you for those forceful good morning and goodnight kisses, thank you for those tight hugs. Thank you for giving me this beautiful family, thank you for loving me with the honesty which every woman would want. There are so many things that I need to thank you for. But there's one thing that I need to thank you for the most.

And that is, thank you for bringing back the lost faith in love. You came into my life and brought the lost faith in love, the faith which I had lost after getting cheated by someone who was my first love. Thank you for showing me what actually love is like, what actually feels to be loved.

Though I know I don't deserve it, you I treated me like a queen. Though I had nothing to give you back, you kept on giving all the love to me and..."

Before she could say anything further, I sealed her lips with mine. It was just as the first kiss we had; passionate, full of love and slow. We had our foreheads attached after series of kisses, feeling each other's heartbeats.

"You were the one who actually made me realize that I can fall in love keeping my fear aside. You pulled me out from the darkness which was chasing me since my childhood and filled my life with all those beautiful smiles and colours. You loved me as a lover, took care of me like my mom, stood by my side on my hard times like my father and started a family with me like my wife. You're not only my wife, but my support system who makes me strong like no one else can.

I got to see my family happy after your arrival. With our children in our lives, I've understood what actually family is like. You are my first and also my last love. You've taught me how to love, how to make efforts and fight for our love. And with you besides me my darling, I promise I'll always love you like crazy.

I'm sorry that you'll have to tolerate this crazy lover all your life now."

"I'd do anything to have this crazy lover by my side all my life." She pecked all over my face and hugged me. I pulled her closer to me, killing every bit of distance between us. She slept on my arms. I felt my home in her arms. This is us, this is our love story; a story that I'd love to tell to my children when they grow up.
