I decided to do two more chapter to be nice before I rap it up.

PIC OF THE KIDS ABOVE.

THERE ARE PICS ON ALMOST EVERY CHAPTER OF THE CHARACTERS.

______________

Shantel's P.O.V

_______________

"Tia Tia!" The kids scream attacking my legs as I walk through the door.

Everyone agreed that it was for the best for the kids to just think I am their aunt so that it doesn't confuse them or Tomar in the long run. Quinn gave me the name tia which means 'aunt' in spanish, since they call her ti ti.

"Hi you little Rugrats!" I bend hugging them.

"So no Hi for grandma?" Elena asks standing behind me as the driver brought the luggage to the door.

"Grandma!" They scream running to hug her as well. With the exception of Ryder who is still standing in front of me with his hand stretched out.

I laugh dipping into my purse and then ruffling his hair.

"Here you go sir!" I hand him a pack of Haribo gummy bear.

"Yes! Your the best tia ever!" He hugged my leg once more and ran off so he didn't have to share his candy. The only person he shares with if he does is Tomar.

"Me! Tia me me!" Tomar whined. I laugh at how spoil she is. I'm just happy to be apart of her life.

I picked her up and kiss all over her face as she giggles. "Happy birthday MarMar! How old are you now?" She puts up all five finger on her right hand smiling brightly. So silly. "Wow! You're a big girl now!" I put her back down.

I took out three more candy and gave one to each of them. They thanked me and ran off with each other, Tomar in the back as always trying to keep up, thinking she's the same age.

"You are going to spoil those kids rotten. They have been waiting for you all morning because they know you won't disappoint them when it comes to their favorite candy." Raelynn says holding the door open for us.

"Too bad the soccer player in your tummy can't eat candy yet or I would have brought five packs." I winked hugging her.

"Look at you. Your so huge since the last time I saw you! What are you feeding my grandchild?" Elena asks hugging her as well.

We walk into the living room of their massive house, more like a kingdom and see caterers and tons of flowers, butterflies and hello kitty decoration everywhere.

"The party will be starting in an hour incase you two want to go get freshen up before." Raelynn tells us taking a seat. She is suppose to be due tomorrow, which was obvious since she looks like she will pop any moment. So it works out perfectly since we had to be here today for Tomar's birthday.

"No! I missed my grandbabies. You go and lay down until it's time, I will watch them along with that poor nanny over there who looks like she wants to drown herself in the pool and ensure everything gets done." Elena told Rae.

"Your an angel." Rae smiles.

"Yeah. I think I will go change out of these sweatpants." I said heading up the stairs behind Raelynn.

She stopped at the door to the guestroom that I always use when I stay here.

"I am really happy that your here and is apart of her life Shantel. She growing up and one day she will have questions about her real mom and your family. I just hope you will be around then to help her understand and to help answer questions about the Taylor History that we won't be able to." A tear fell from her eye, but she was smiling. More tears started to fall. "Oh don't mind me, I am just emotional! My hormones are really of the charts these days." We both laugh and embrace in a hug.

"I promise I will be here for as long as you guys need me." I say still hugging her and she hugs me tighter.

"ouch!" She said letting me go and holding her stomach.

"Are you ok?" I ask now really concerned. Maybe I should call Bryce. I know he told me last night that he wouldn't be here in the morning but would make it back before the party starts. Since both him, Ethan and Evan had to be in the meeting, he said he would had hired caterers and decorators so that Rae wouldn't put herself in harms way or overwork herself with the baby. He also had the driver pick us up from the airport instead of doing it himself like always.

"It's fine. The baby just kicked really hard. I am going to go lay down." She smile rubbing her tummy.

"Ok, well just call me if you need me, I'll be right here." I told her as I watch her walk to the end of the hall way and disappear behind the huge doors.

I walk into the guestroom I use when here to find it just the way I left it.

That made me smile.

After all these years, I finally feel like I have some major stability in my life. I have people who love me and welcome me with open arms.

I flop back on the bed and pull out my phone, seeing that I have a new message from my boyfriend.

I smile and open it.

West: Hey bae. I hope u made it safely. Well I'm sure i did flying on a private jet. lol I miss u like crazy already. School sucked w/o u today! TGIF turn up

Awwhh. I start to text himback.

Me: lmbo ur stupid! but yeah I'm here. I miss you more. The kids were happy to see me, that made my day!

West: Well that's good babe :) What's the plan for today?

Me: It's my niece bday. So we're having a party for her.

I hit send and sit up as I hear my door open.

"Tia?" Rayin asks peeking around the door.

"Hey princess! Come here!" I guess she was just looking for an invitation as she ran and climbed onto the bed next to me.

"What's up princess?" I ask her using the nickname she demands we all call her.

My phone vibrated again signaling that I had another text but I ignoredit.

"I draw you a picture." She hand me a paper from a note book with five stick figures drawn in pen.

"wow! this is nice!" I told her.

"This is me, you" she points to the tallest stickman. "Rush, Ry and Mar eating candy!"

"I love it! I am going to put it in my room when I get home." Her eyes lit up.

"Really Tia?"

"Yup! Promise" I said and we pinky promise.

"Ok! I gotta go tell mommy!" She hopped off my bed and ran out of the room.

I wasn't lying when I told her I am going to put it up in my room when I get home. I have an entire section of the wall in my room where I hang all the stuff they make for me. Elena thinks I am crazy for saving them all but I love them.

Home.

I smile with comfort at that word.

South Carolina is home with Elena. Her dad is there too but rarely as he's always off traveling. He's a really nice man. She told me her mother passed away a couple years back and her father has been traveling all over doing the things he likes as a coping mechanism.

Ever since I cam back from Germany that has been my home.

The first couple days I came back before having to go back again, we stayed in New York and I started to bond with Rae and the kids. Now we have an awesome relationship. Elena is like the mother I never had and Raelynn is like the big sister I lost.

I went back to Germany for the trial, just Bryce, Elena, Ethan and I. Evan stayed with Raelynn because she was on bed rest, this has not been the easiest pregnancy for her.

The trial was bad, but not as bad as I thought it would be, maybe because I had people to lean on for support. Elena held my hand the entire time.

I didn't have to relive the entire thing by testifying as he changed his plea and pled guilty. He looked remorseful and was crying. He kept telling us he was sorry as he got taken away. Edward was charged with one count of first degree murder for killing Tatiyana and one count of attempted murder for trying to kill Tomar. He is now facing life with the possibility for parole in 30 years.

I try not to think about it anymore and leave it in the past so that I can move on..

Elena felt it was best to move on and take my mind off of it by keeping myself occupied and getting a positive social life.

Yeah, I refuse to ever do drug again or hang with that crowd, I don't know what I was thinking back that.

I applied to a couple of college and got into most of them. However, I chose to go to University of South Carolina and commute. Elena was happy with that choice even though she said she would have supported any decision I made.

We have become closer than ever and I didn't want to be away from that safety net as yet, so I chose not to live on campus.

Elena bought me car and encouraged me to have a social life.

I started summer school right away so that I could get caught up to being a sophomore, I am not trying to be a freshman forever. I made one really good friend during summer school, her name is Arianna and we've been hanging out. The fall semester started in August and joined a couple of organizations. I joined the student government association and that's where I met Wesley, he's the President and a Senior. He asked me out a few times before I finally gave in.

Bryce and Ethan doesn't know that I have a boyfriend. They are very overprotective of me, it gets annoying sometimes when were out in public and guys stare at me. They always end up scaring them away.

I turned 19 last week.

Elena flew me and Arianna to New York. Raelynn, Quinn and Cara took us out for a spa day and dinner. It was amazing and Arianna was out of her mind with how wealthy they are. Sometimes I'm still in disbelief myself.

We had a small get together at the house and I got gifts.

Everyone stayed for a couple hours except Evan. He gave me a bracelet he bought in Greece since he had just got back from business there.

It was beautiful. It was gold with small diamonds going around it. It had some inscription on the inside but the only think I could read that was in English was the word 'Eros'. I asked him what it meant and he said 'Eros' is a Greek god and the other part means 'the strong survives'. Bryce and Ethan looked at him weird and he got up and left saying he had a date. I never really see much of him, I don't think he likes me very much.

Even though he doesn't like me and I have a boyfriend, I still have a crush on him. I thought being with Wesley would subside it, I am sure it will if I try harder. But who doesn't have a secret crush these days? I just won't ever let anyone find out. I don't think it's appropriate, but I can't help it.

I finally introduced Wesley to Elena when he came to take me out to dinner for my birthday last week. She adores him and thinks we're perfect for each other. I still think it's too early to tell.

Raelynn's P.O.V

_________________

I close my eyes feeling really tired and worn out as I lay in the bed. I snuggle up to Bryce's pillow and inhale his scent. I know he has only be gone for maybe four hours, but I miss him already.

Over the last seven months, I have to say, our relationship has grown stronger than ever. I never thought I could be more in love with someone but he amazes me each day.

He tries his best to be home each night to tuck the kids in or to be able to pick them up from school. He takes them to school each morning. He gives me massages that I never ask for, rub my feet, is there for all my doctor appointment and is super attentive to all the kids, even our jelly bean in my tummy. This baby will be a daddy's boy or girl. Every time Bryce start to rub and talks to my tummy, its the baby couldn't be any happier, kicking like crazy. He or she knows her daddy already.

I think it's so cute.

We decided to wait until the baby is born to know the gender since Bryce is overly obsessed that we're having another set of triplets.

I hope not.

The doctor said there is only one baby in my tummy and it needs to stay that way, even though I seem really big to be carrying one baby.

I think it's a girl, a really little chubby girl. She will probably look like her big sister Rayin, just a beautiful. Rayin is very smart, humble, quiet sometimes and likes to be left alone in her own world. She's only really demanding when it comes to getting attention from Bryce, maybe because he wasn't always around. Apart from that she's always hanging around me when she not at school. Rush and Ryder are very lazy when it comes to cleaning up and helping, but Rayin is mommy's little helper. She likes to be in the kitchen with me when I am trying to cook and she helps to keep Tomar occupied. She's a awesome big sister.

I love her and Tomar both equally but I have a stronger bond with Rayin, I feel like she carries my soul. She reminds me so much of myself.

But let me not pretend that she doesn't have her moments when she reminds me that there is three of them and not two.

She gives her fair share of trouble as well.

"Mommy! I draw Tia a picture of my brother's and sissy eating candy and she loves it mommy! She said she's gonna take it home and put it in her room." Rayin yells climbing on the bench and jumping on the bed.

Speak of the devil.

I catch her as she falls next to me on the bed and pull her closer.

"Good job princess. Mommy is so proud of you! High five!" We high five each other and she giggles.

"Are your brother's and sister with Grandma?" I ask.

"yes! But I want to stay with you mommy." What's new.

"Ok. You can stay but first go and tell grandma, so that she doesn't look for you." She climbs of the bed and go to my door.

"GRANDMA IM WITH MY MOMMY!" She runs back, climb on the bench and gets back in the bed with me.

"You know Rayin, I don't think your grandma heard you." I tell her trying not to laugh.

"Uhhh huh! She did!"

I shake my head.

She stands up and climbs on the pillow behind me pulling my head back in her lap.

"Mommy can I comb your hair?"

"Yeah, let me go and get the brush for you." I tell her as I get up from the bed.

"Mmmhh" I moan as the baby kicks even harder this time. I stop walking as I wait for the kicking to stop.

I rub my stomach trying to get her to calm down. As soon as she does, I continue to the bathroom and return with the brush. I return back to my previous position with the pregnancy pillow and Rayin behind me.

"Ready mommy? I give you pigtails like me!"

"Ok hunny, I am sure I will love it. "

Sometimes I feel older than 23 years old.

I smile thinking back to my birthday and how Bryce made it memorable.

I was off bed rest but I was still warned to relax mostly. Bryce would let me go to the office with him most days but other times he claimed he needed to stay in bed. But I would still work from home.

On my birthday, I thought he had forgot as he didn't say anything to me or wish me happy birthday.

I went into the office with him and we worked all day while the kids were at school and Tomar was with the nanny. At the end he told me the car would take me to get the kids and then home, he had to stay late for a meeting. I got home and went to my room to have a bath and there were candles and rose petals everywhere.

I followed trail of rose petals to the bathroom and the tub was filled. There were chocolate covered strawberries on a platter on the side with a bottle of apple cider and a glass. It smelt like heaven.

Taking off my clothes to get in the tub I saw a note and a velvet box under it. I read the note: You thought I forgot your birthday didn't you? Well sorry to disappoint you my love. Enjoy your bath. Love Bryce.

I put the note down and took up the velvet box and opened it.

"Wow!" I said out loud as saw the most beautiful silver locket, embedded on the front was a heart covered in diamond.

I opened it and saw a picture of all of my babies. I don't know who took this picture. But it was a picture of me in the family room with Bryce's arm around me. He had his other arm around Rush and Tomar in his lap. My baby bump was showing, Rayin was sitting in my lap facing me as we were talking and Ryder was cuddled into my side.

My beautiful family.

I soaked in the bath for thirty minutes eating the fruit and drinking the cider until the water started to get chilly. I got out and dried off going to the closet. When I tuned on the light I saw a huge white gift box with a huge red bow around it.

I opened it and there was a note on top: A dress fit for a queen. You are my queen Rae. Put this on and there will be a car outside waiting on you.

I fanned my eyes.

I pulled dress out and it was beautiful. A long blue Versace dress with a split starting above my knee. I put it on and admired myself in the mirror. I pinned my hair up not wanting to waste time flat ironing it or curling it. I was too anxious to get to Bryce.

I went outside and the car was waiting. We drove for about twenty minutes then we pulled up to World Market Group, the building that Bryce owns, where I just left earlier. I was escorted from the car and towards an elevator in the back. I was so confused about what was taking place. The driver hit the button "R" and tipped his hat telling me to enjoy before the doors closed. Once the doors reopened, Bryce was standing in front of me in a new suit.

He took my hand and led me out of the elevator. We were on the roof. The most breath taking view of New York City that I have ever seen. I didn't even know this place had existed. There were candles everywhere, a woman playing a piano and singing, a table set up with two chairs and servers. I was beyond shocked. After dinner he took me for a ride around the city. And lets just say, when we got home, I couldn't keep hands off him no matter how much he told me to slow down.

I guess that explains why I was placed back on bed rest.

But that day and these last couple of months showed me many things, things I wasn't able to see before.

For his birthday, the kids and I made him breakfast in bed, I lit some candles and gave him a massage, he went to work and when he came home, we had a surprise party for him. My gift to him was a book of redeemable coupon for my services at anytime, I won't say what the coupons deemed redeemable and getaway for just the two of us after the baby is born and no longer breastfeeding.

"Mommy! I'm finished. Now you look just like a princess like me." Rayin got up from behind me. "Let's go look in the mirror mommy!".

I got up slowly as a sharp pain passed through my back.

"Mommy your peeing yourself!" Rayin jump backwards away water gushed down my legs under my dress.

"Mommy?"

Another sharp pain passed through me. "Rayin go and get your Tia and tell her to call daddy." I said breathing in and out as the pain hit once more.

"Mommy.." She said look scared.

"It's ok princess. Just go and get your Aunt Shantel." This time she nod and ran from the room.

I went to the closet and got a fresh pair of underwear and another sweater dress.

"Babe! Raelynn baby where are you?" I heard Bryce's voice yelling from the room.

"She's in here." Shantel said as she walks into the closet. "Are you in Labor? Rayin said you peed yourself?"

"Rae! Oh thank god." Bryce said coming in the closet and hugging me. "Is the baby coming?"

"Yeah my water just broke. But I don't think the baby is coming yet. My contraction aren't that close together. I'm just going to change out of these wet clothes and then we can go."

I'm in pain but I'm just happy Bryce is here this time around.
