Rain's P.O.V. Dex took a moment to come back with my brush. He sat behind me and began to gently brush my hair. He took such good care of me. He was gentle and nurturing. He was caring and deeply compassionate. "Dex?" "Yes, sunshine?" He brushed my hair again. "You're going to be a really great father. I know I've said that before, but I really mean it." I know he will be an amazing father to Toni's child even though it's not his own. "I want to have kids of our own." I admitted. I couldn't take that chance away from him. He deserves a kid of his own. He wrapped his arms around my own and rested his chin on my shoulder. "You mean that?" I could hear the smile on his face. "Yes, I do." I felt a tug at my heart as I spoke those words. My heart has been healing very slowly, but it is still very broken. I was doing my best to keep from crumbing again. Honestly, having Dex was helping. I could feel his emotions now, our bond having sealed with my mark. He was elated at my words and

I let go of Dex and practically tackled the large figure. My arms wrapped around his large shoulders tightly and he did the same. We let the tears fall as we hugged. "Miss you." He told me."I've miss you too, asshole." He laughed that husky laugh of his. I've missed that too. "Ash." Dex greeted him from behind me. We pulled away from one another then. I took a good look at my twin then. He had gotten bigger, if that's even possible. He'd grown a couple inches. His shoulders were broader and his hair was longer. "Hello Dex." Ash gave him that large grin of his and the pieces of my heart pulled together again. I had missed that grin of his. I had missed his scent, his presence and his alright goofy self. I had missed my twin so much. I had forgiven him finally, but there was still a tightness in my chest. "Hi, Ember! It's so lovely to finally meet you." A young girl with Larminiel's hair and blue eyes stepped forward. "Oh right, sorry." Ash said bashfully. "This is Layla." He l

10 years later"Gabriel, sweet heart. We need to get going. Do you have your shoes?" I peeked my head around the corner. His little chocolate eyes met mine with such sadness. "What's wrong, mi amor?" "I can't find my other shoe. I only have this one. I can't walk around with one shoe on." Tears began to pool in his eyes. I forget how small things like this could affect a little 4 year old's heart. "Oh, sweet boy." I hugged him for a moment. "It's okay. We'll find it together." "No need. Hero D found it already!" Dex jumped into the room with a table cloth wrapped around his neck like a cape. I stifled my laughter as Gabriel's little face lit up with admiration. "Yay Hero D!" He ran wrapping his arms around Dex. "Sit down, let's get this shoe on. A certain someone wants to wish you a happy birthday." Dex wiggled his eyebrows excitedly at Gabriel. "Dad!" He yelled ecstatically. "Yes, dad." Dex smiled. The scene continued to play out in front of me, filling my heart with such joy

I entered the garden looking amongst the crowd. Mom stood surrounded by her mates. Time has barely touched them, the only signs of aging are only evident by the crows feet around their eyes. Charlie was already 5'5 and only 10 years old. That boy will be huge. In the back corner I saw his big shoulders. His head poked way above everyone else's heads, his eyes had already found me. We both grinned so large, like small children on Christmas morning. I started walking towards him, but eventually my walking turned into a sprint and before I knew it we were both running to each other. We crashed into a tight hug. "Twinkie!" He yelled as he gave me a deep belly chuckle. I had tears brimming in my eyes, too happy to see my twin. "I've missed you." I smiled at him with tears shining in my eyes. I dabbed at them with my thumb. "You're such a crybaby." He shook his hand in my hair. "Am not." I poked his side. "Some things never change." Mom laughed at us. Ash and I stared at each other g

Dex scooped me into his arms and carried me out of the garden. We were near my favorite spot now. I could hear the water flowing through the creek as we approached it. "Here?" I asked bashfully. I hadn't had sex in the open like this in so long. "Here." He smiled down at me, gently laying me on the soft grass. The water suddenly twisted around my wrists holding them above my head. Sex near or in the water, with him, is always so kinky. He uses the water to his advantage every time and all I can do is sit there and take it. Dex leaned down, featherly kissing my lips. He peppered kisses down my neck and toward my collar bone. I wanted to grab his hair, but obviously couldn't. Instead I closed my hand into a fist. Dex lifted my shirt with his hand and massaged my sides as he continued kissing my neck. A fire was building deep inside me. My chest glowed brightly as Lien enjoyed the touch of our destined one on us. Dex lifted my shirt over my breast, pulling my bra to the side and expo

Everyone met and played with Gabriel. He saw some familiar faces and some new ones. Ash had become his favorite person, of course. Who wouldn't love that big lug? We celebrated Gabriel's big day together as a large family. It filled my heart with joy to see everyone together again. It doesn't happen as often as it should. "Ash, I need to talk to you after I get Gabriel to bed." I whispered to him as he helped me clean up. "Oh no. Am I in trouble?" He joked. I poked his side. "Never gets old." "Seriously though." "Okay, okay. I'll wait for you on the roof." He held his hands up in surrender. "Good." I squinted my eyes at him. "Someone is very tired." Dex was holding a very wiped out Gabriel in his arms. "Come here, mi amor. Let's get you bathed and ready for bed." I took him from Dex's arms and into mine. His little body was already limp with sleep. "I'll finish helping everyone clean up. I'll come up and lay with him when I'm done so you and Ash can talk." Dex gave me a quick

When I opened the bathroom Dex was there waiting for me on the bed, just like he said he would be. His hair was dripping wet still from his swim. I grabbed a small towel as I left the bathroom. I silently walked over to him. He watched me the entire time. "You'll get sick." I scolded him lightly as I started to dry his hair. "I just like it when you dry my hair." He smiled at me, grabbing my waist and sitting me on his lap. His eyes never left me as he watched me dry his hair. "There." I said when I finished. He took the towel from my hands and threw it to the side. He turned us over so he was now on top of me, bracing his weight on his hands around me. His lips met mine with a deep passion. We showed each other our intense love for one another with every kiss. My fingers tangled into his wavy damp hair. He pulled away from me just staring at me again. It made my heart flutter every time he looked at me like that. I shied under his intense gaze. Instead I watched my fingers as I

We woke up that morning to mom's gentle knocks on the door. We'll be heading back home after breakfast today. We need to finish packing the house. Finally moving near Ash again. Dex answered the door, already awake. He was always up well before Gabriel… or me for that matter. He and mom whispered to one another before the door closed again. Dex came back to the bed, shaking my foot to quietly wake me. I waved my hand at him, wanting to keep my eyes closed. I heard Dex quietly chuckle. 'Gotta get up Sunshine.' His thoughts were so loud in my head. 'I don't want to.' He pulled my foot scooting me down the bed carefully. He leaned over kissing my lips gently before he began trail kisses down my neck and to my collar bone. "Come on, my little sun. You need to go eat with your family. I'll stay with Gabriel till he wakes. He could use the sleep after last night." He whispered into the nape of my neck causing my breath to hitch. "I could use more sleep." I groaned, but I got up.
