"Grandma, don't worry about the lawn. I told you that I'll do it already!" Willow groaned as she went to her grandmother who was mowing the lawn. "The grass was calling my name," Grandma Marie glared at her and Willow rolled her eyes."You can go in and take your rest now," she said and immediately felt nauseous. Her grandma noticed her change in expression. "Are you okay, sweetie?" she asked. Without a word, Willow ran to the garbage can and emptied her stomach through her mouth."God," she groaned and fell to her knees. Her grandmother quickly ran to her and helped her up. "This is the fourth time you're vomiting today. Are you sure you're okay?" she asked as she helped her to into the house."I'm fine," Willow groaned as she walked into the kitchen and sat at the island.

Past six months had been hectic for Willow. Everyone could tell she was depressed but she covered it with a smile that she had mastered over the months. The doctors had told her it would be bad for the babies but Willow couldn't do anything else. When she started getting heavier, grandma asked her to stay back at home instead of helping her at her flower shop.Willow needed a distraction, but nothing could do that job. Sometimes, she wondered how things would have turned out if she had told Nathan about the pregnancy. Or how it would have turned out if they hadn't broken up.It was like salt to her wounds whenever she would see his picture or an article about him on the internet. With a sigh, she placed her hand on her large stomach and rubbed it. She was due any moment from now and she was having twins. She remembered when she nearly had a heart attack when the doctor discovered she would be having twins. Meanwhile, grandma was over the moon and even started hunting for names. Her f

FIVE YEARS LATER...."Are you sure about this, sweetie?" Grandma asked Willow as she watched her move the boxes into the back of her Sedan. Willow rolled her eyes and looked at her grandma. "Seriously, ma. We've talked about this about a billion times," Willow said to her as she approached her. Her grandmother sighed and followed her into the house. "I'm just saying. I won't be able to monitor the kids anymore. You know I'm not getting younger," she said and Willow laughed. "Don't worry, I'll bring them on some weekends. We're not travelling to another country. It's just L.A. it's not the end of the world," she said and her grandmother sighed."You've already become too mature for your own good," she said and Willow smiled. "I'm going to get the kids from Mrs. Kris, we have a long day ahead of us," she said and grandma nodded, watching her leave.Willow walked down the street towards their neighbor's house.

"Thank you, doctor," the woman said as she stood up. Willow smiled at her and waved her bye. Once the woman left, she let out a sigh of relief and rubbed her temples. She was having a headache and it was getting the best of her. "You look a little pale. Is it the change in environment?" she looked up to see Dr. Jayden walk in. He was her colleague; a tall man with brown hair, honey brown eyes and a charming smile. He was the only friend she managed to make at the hospital while working as a part time doctor."It's nothing, I just didn't get much sleep last night," Willow told him. He chuckled and went to sit on the empty seat in front of her desk. "Were the kids hyperactive?" he asked and she shook her head. "No, they were surprisingly very obedient," she said and he laughed."I get what you mean. The same goes for my daughter, but she's never obedient to her mother," he said and Willow smiled. "She's a typical daddy's girl," she said and he nodded. He was about to say something when

"Mommy, I don't like those resins," Wave whined as she played with her spoon. Willow rolled her eyes, "Don't be a naughty girl and eat your food." Wave sighed and ate her food. Daniel was still writing in his notebook; he had finished his breakfast earlier."I look pretty in my dress, don't I?" Wave asked her mother. "It's called a uniform, sweetie," Willow corrected as she handed her a napkin to wipe her mouth. "What? Isn't it meant to be unicorn?" Wave frowned. Daniel looked at his sister and rolled his eyes. "Unicorn is an animal, Wave," he pointed out. "Oh, okay," she grinned. "Finish your food and let's take you guys to school," Willow said and went to clean up their rooms.∞"Break time!" the homeroom teacher announced and everyone exclaimed happily. Some of the kids ran out of the classroom while the others remained but went to their various friends."Hey, Daniel!" a blonde boy approached the twins. "Mark, hi," Daniel waved.

"I can't believe I'm getting married today. Oh God, I didn't know I'll get married before you," Eve said to Willow who was helping her to adjust her wedding dress. Willow rolled her eyes, "Learn to shut up, it'll be very good for you." Eve scowled and pinched her arm causing her to groan. "Don't disrespect the bride, it's her day," Melanie, Eve's coworker said as she walked in."Well, she needs a brain resetting before she goes down the aisle," Willow said to her as she stood straight. Eve narrowed her eyes at her and went to sit on the bed.

"Hey, baby," she gave him a sweetly seductive smile as she sat beside him and placed a hand on his lap. Nathan rolled his eyes and removed it from his lap."We're in public and the press is here.

It was Sunday and Willow's only day off. She was glad because she didn't have to leave the house to go anywhere. After the incident at Evelyn and Chase's wedding yesterday, she was trying to live with the embarrassment. She had switched off her phone immediately she got home and she didn't bother to switch it on up till now.Instead she laid on the couch in the living room, staring at the ceiling while listening to the soft snores of her kids that were asleep on the kids' mat she had laid on the floor. She looked at the clock to see that it was still eleven thirty and then she sighed, "It's going to be a long day."∞"So, you're telling me that I had kids I knew nothing about?" Nathan glared at his best friend. Chase nodded at him, keeping the distance between them in case he might need to make a run for it. "Basically, yeah," he said."But why didn't you tell me?" Nathan was angry now. Noah held his arm to prevent him from lashing out. "Be gentle, son," Camilla glared at her son. Nat

"Willow, you're spacing out too much," she looked up to see Jayden looking at her with a concerned look. Willow gave him an apologetic smile; she didn't even know when he walked in. "I'm sorry," she said and he shrugged before taking a seat in front of her. "What's the problem?""Nathan found out," Willow sighed and rubbed her temples. "Well, that's great. That is if he's not filing for custody," Jayden said jokingly and Willow shook her head. "I don't want the press to find out about them. I don't want to be a part of any drama going on with the elites. I love my quiet life," she mumbled and Jayden laughed."It doesn't matter. Willow. Did you guys talk about how you'll raise them together?" he asked her. She shook her head, "He asked me to meet him at his office today." Her eyes fell on her watch and they widened. "Shit, I should be on my way now," she quickly stood up."Cover for me, will you?" she asked him and he nodded with a grin. "Say hi to our baby daddy for me," he teased and

People's joy knew no bounds when the news of Nathan's recovery spread everywhere. The doctor, which was Jayden, advised that he'd be on bed rest for minimum of a week so he can regain his full strength. Nathan was not at all happy with this and he used every means to show it.
