Luke's P.O.V
The last two years have been the best of my life. Alexia had decided to host a dinner for the whole family tonight and asked me to get a few things on my way home from work. I stopped at the shops and quickly got everything on the list and a little something extra for Lexi as she always wants to eat chocolate these last few weeks. She has never had much of a sweet tooth before. I arrived at home and unloaded everything from the car and dropped it off in the kitchen on the counter that still had a little space left open.
Lexi walked in and she was looking very beautiful indeed.
I kissed her on the cheek.
"There anything I can help you with or do you have everything under control?"
She looked around and looked at me again, smiling.
"No, I have everything under control. You can head up and take a shower and get dressed before the family starts arriving. If there is something else, then I

Liam's P.O.VWith all the shocks and good news we have been receiving the last few weeks, I would need to be careful not to get too excited when someone says that they have news to share. First there was Darren's change of heart and then followed Luke and Lexi's news and we also got some good news from the company side of life.I'mgoing to be a granddad. I make myself sound old saying it, but I really don't care. I am overjoyed by the fact of holding a little baby once more. This time I will spoil him or her and then, as the rule of grandparents is, give him or her back to the parents. Anne and Darren also made peace and they got along like children and parents should. He changed his whole behaviour. Before, he wouldn't be caught dead hugging anyone or showing any emotions, but now we get hugs each and every night or morning when we either go to bed or wake up. He even told Anne first about his new girlfriend. Anne had

Six months laterAlexia's P.O.VOur baby boy is coming in about two months. We are so excited and can't wait. Darren and his new girlfriend promised to help with the babysitting if we ever needed them in the future. I think it will be quite a while before we even think of leaving the little one with anyone else than each other. It will be our time to bond with him and make sure that everything is good and he is and stays as healthy as he needs to be.I must say that those two do make an interesting couple and I can't wait to have her as my sister-in-law. She is the sweetest girl and her manners and shyness are so cute. Even holding hands with Darren in front of us all makes her blush like crazy. I heard from mum that she is also staying for dinner tonight, so we can all meet her because the last time only mum and dad met her properly the other night when she was over for dinner. Da

Two months laterLuke's P.O.VLexi had a tough delivery but at least Scott has been born and he is just perfect. Lexi is still a little out of it and under sedation to help her heal a little before she can hold little Scott. It has been a gruelling twenty hours but our little bundle of joy is absolutely perfect, already cuddling and oowing to his dad as I got to hold him a little while after they had cleaned him. Darren looked like he wanted to run away when I showed them little Scotty. Mum and dad made turns holding him while I was worrying about Lexi.She has just woken up and she wants to see her little one.Mum brought Scotty and gave him to Alexia to hold him for her first time. Alexia is super happy about him and she has a few tears in her eyes while holding him for the very first time. I sat down on the bed next to her and hugged her and our little miracle to me.

Donald's P.O.VShe started her sentence but didn't finish it. She fainted and hasn't woken up yet. We tried everything and she still didn't respond. I'm worried but Liam is freaked out. He is speeding like a maniac to get to the hospital so that they can check her out and tell us what is wrong. We arrived and they took her to do some tests on her. We sat in the waiting room and worried crazily. They were taking so long and we weren't being told anything about what was happening and what they had found out yet. Liam started pacing the waiting room and I was just about ready to join him. I mean this could have been entirely my fault with the news I had given them all. We were going crazy with worry.After about three hours, the doctor finally came out and said she only fainted but hit her head when she fell. They have just done some tests to make sure that the fall hadn't caused any lasting damage, but to be sure they want to

Eight months laterAlexia's P.O.VI can't believe that the first year of spending time with my little miracle and my wonderful husband is almost over. Scotty is already turning one in about three weeks. I guess the saying time flies when you are having fun stands true again. With Darren living in the flat with Natasha, mum and dad have the whole house to themselves again and sometimes, with how weird those two are, I wonder what they do when they are alone.Speaking of Darren, he is having fun and doing well in college. He calls me every other day to talk when he can't get hold of mum and it's been a nice change having him call me looking for advice, even though it's only because mum is busy.Apparently, he is planning to ask Natasha to marry him soon or that is what I had heard when he last called me. Don't know for when he was planning what he had been planning and I am pretty sure I wa

Anne's P.O.VAfter the whole excitement was over from the engagement news, I took a good look at the two of them standing there being congratulated by everyone. Natasha is so happy and, if I must say so, she is absolutely glowing. She and Darren had also had those secret looks they had been giving each other today that they hadn't done before. He was also a little more protective of her and he wanted to always be near her or holding on to her. Looking more closely, it also looked to me that Natacha looked a little bigger than I last saw her. It could be that she had been letting go and eating a little more or my hunch that I have is correct.Maybe it is my imagination, but I think she is pregnant. If she is, I will be overjoyed at becoming a grandmother again. She could leave the little one with me when she has classes. I know her father will be very mad at her and might not be in the best position to help out for the first

Three months laterNatasha's P.O.VIt had been a gruelling three months in between the hiding of the pregnancy from my dad, going to classes, the horrible morning sickness that had decided that it would disrupt my whole life and the awful back pain I had from the beginning. We decided that dad had gotten used to me being engaged to Darren enough and that we would be telling him about the baby as soon as we would be home again this weekend from school. Darren's mum and dad are just the best. They have been sending gifts and care packages the whole time, anything that would help me. His mum and his sister said they both had it just as bad with the nausea and the weird cravings, but they didn't have the back pain and it's not like I could ask dad about what mum's pregnancy was like, as he doesn't like to talk about her ever since she left me with him for that other man. At least that is what grandma told

The whole dining room was silent for the next few minutes. You could hear a pin drop and that would sound like a bomb dropping.After those few minutes, everything erupted into chaos. All the family on Darren's side was so happy and wanted to come and hug us and congratulate us. I could see that dad was just sitting down and staring and not really registering what was going on around him. I loosened Darren's arm around me and made my way to his side to see that he was okay and maybe talk to him if he had some questions.I arrived and put my hands on his shoulders to try and get him to look at me and register me and not just look and stare into space in front of him."Dad, hey dad. Look at me."He finally looked at me and he looked really sad."Why would you do this to yourself? Why?"He stood up while asking me why."I didn't mean for this to happen, it just happened. Dad, please look at me."He started moving whi
