Speak To Me
Chapter 191 –

***Four Months Later***

(Gabriella)

I gazed down into my arms, feeling my lips widen into a smile as my heart swelled with so much happiness.

Our sons were finally here..not just that, but they were healthy and growing so much already. It's been two weeks since I had the babies and Jamie still hasn't gone back to work yet. He thinks if he leaves us he will miss out on something.

Well, he did almost miss the birth..but that was completely out of his control. Of course the one day he had to attend a meeting downtown, my water decided to break. Luckily Ray was here with me..Katrina and he ended up driving me to the hospital. It all happened so fast..and before I knew it, I was admitted to the hospital.

Jamie was an hour away so he asked Rylan and Tilly to check on me until he could come. Rylan just about fainted when the doctors said it was already time to push. Tilly had to escort him out while Grant came in next. I swear everyone showed up..even Robert was here. But the moment I saw Teresa, I swear I felt more at ease..we had talked about her coming into the room with us, and she was ecstatic.

Even Stephanie was here to help me through it. Stephanie and I have grown pretty close..she still doesn't know fully about Grant not being Sammy's real dad..but since we don't know who his father is yet, Grant wants to keep the charade up for as long as possible. Something seems to be going on with him lately though..like he has been trying to avoid Stephanie or something..and also he never lets us come to his place. I swear he has to be hiding something..I just haven't figured out what yet.

Luckily when it came time to start pushing though, Jamie came bursting into the room and I'm pretty sure he ran the whole freaking way.

"I'm here...I didn't miss it did I?!" He practically screamed, panicking completely as I just blinked up at him.

I had never seen the man look so disheveled since I had known him.

"We are just starting, Gabriella is ready to push." His mom explained as I nodded and watched my husband rush to my side.

"I'm so sorry..please forgive me." Jamie fell to his knees, practically begging me as I just grabbed his hand.

"It's okay baby..you d-didn't miss anything." I tried to say calmly but ended up squeezing Jamie's hand hard as a huge contraction hit. That seemed to snap him out of it..and before I knew it, calm, cool, and collected Jamie was back. He began coaching me through the pain as everyone got into position.

It took two hours..two exhausting hours to push the babies out. Our big boy Keegan was the first to arrive. He had thick black hair and came out wailing. I couldn't believe how loudly he cried. It made both Jamie and I burst into tears the moment we heard it. "He is perfect...oh god Gabriella..look how perfect he is." Jamie gushed, staring down at Keegan as they laid him on my chest.

I couldn't do anything but sob, feeling so damn exhausted already but knowing I had one more left.

Then came Kaidan..he was the exact opposite of Keegan. He was quiet and smaller, his hair was black as well but he seemed so much like his dad already. I looked down at my two sons as the doctor began stitching me up and I saw the look in Jamie's eyes...one that almost had me bawling..he was already so in love with them..I could tell just by that one look alone.

"I am so proud of you Princess..look at what you did..look at how beautiful you made our sons." He breathed, causing a lump to form in my throat as Jamie began kissing me all over.

So yeah, that was why he hasn't gone back to work yet..

"Here, let me take him for a little." Katrina whispered, going to reach for Keegan as I looked up at her warmly.

She has been such a huge help since the babies were born. I think she is really starting to come around now. We still don't talk about what happened..and I make sure to never bring up Grayson because I know she still struggles with hearing his name.

I'm not exactly sure what's happening with that..Grant won't tell me, but I was surprised Grayson gave up so easily..truthfully, I thought he loved her..

"Why don't you go take a break while they sleep?" She suggested, making me nod as I glanced toward a sleeping Kaiden in the bassinet beside me.

"I will check on Jamie." I whispered, prompting Katrina to nod once before gazing down at Keegan lovingly. I felt a small pang in my chest..hoping that maybe one day Katrina would have something like this, because truthfully..I can see she would make a great mom..she just doesn't seem to believe it. Even though her skin has healed a lot, she still has a lot of scars, but now her hair has grown to her shoulders..so I know that has helped with her confidence..I just wish she could see how beautiful she is. Maybe one day..

I walked out into the hallway, hearing my phone ping as I quickly pulled it out before gazing down at the screen. I couldn't help but smile.

It was a picture of Jolie and Alder at the beach. They decided to go on a small trip before the baby came..and right on her finger was the ring I helped Alder design. I was so happy for my friend..she is due any week now and I know they are excited to welcome their little one. Alder's family has come down to visit a few times since meeting Jolie and I know they are just as excited for the baby as we are now. I have even met Alder's sister-in-law and her husband asked if I could help design her ring too..so I kind of have been working on my own jewelry line with Jamie's help. I never thought my old hobby would turn into something so huge.

I remember selling earrings online just to save up and how I would dream about getting my own place one day..now look at me. I'm married with twins and live in my dream house. Old me never would've believed it..especially since I can speak now. Actually speak..and it was all thanks to Jamie.

Okay, maybe not all him..it was all thanks to this new family I was given..Jolie and Tilly are like sisters to me now. And Rylan..he is like the brother I never had. Even Nolan has really come around. Well, after he admitted to us that he is gay..yeah, it was a surprise at first. Especially to his mom, but she embraced him. Maybe a little too much..she even threw a rainbow-themed party and invited male stippers to come.

Jamie practically dragged me out of there once he noticed that..Nolan thought it was hilarious though. Rylan did too until one of the guys began hitting on his wife.

Tilly has started her own dance studio and has been offering her classes to kids who can't afford lessons. She has even been recognized by some of the top charity events and has been given a grant to help buy supplies for her students. It's incredible..and I know Rylan is so proud of her..but I also see the way he looks at her when she is holding one of the twins..and I have a feeling Rylan won't be able to wait much longer.

Just call it a hunch..

I rounded the corner and heard Jamie talking on the phone. That's when I slipped inside before sneaking towards his desk as he looked out the window..but before I could pounce, he was on me in seconds. "Princess..were you trying to sneak up on me?" He asked, clearly amused.

"J-just wanted to make sure you weren't working too hard." I replied playfully, realizing he totally just hung up on whoever he was talking to.

"I was just finishing up one thing..how are our sons doing?" He asked, pulling me into his lap more before wrapping his arms around my waist. "Sleeping, Katrina is k-keeping an eye on them for us." I whispered, leaning forward as I brushed my lips against his.

"I see, so that means I get you all to myself." He mumbled kissing me back before pulling away and burying his face in the crook of my neck.

Obviously I was still recovering from the delivery..but I craved Jamie's touch now more than ever. I am trying to be good..

"I can't believe I get to have you for the rest of my life...how the hell did I get so lucky" He added, snuggling into me deeper as I felt butterflies flood through me.

"Well, I mean, technically our year is coming up.." I added playfully, teasing Jamie as he pulled back before frowning down at me.

"Don't even joke like that.." He mumbled, diving back to my throat before squeezing me tighter. "Besides..we didn't even sign the contract."

"Wait..we didn't? Are you sure?" I asked, swearing we did at some point. I mean..we talked about it and stuff..I remember signing medical stuff..

"Nope..my dad never pushed it after the first dinner we had with him..so Mrs. Sinclair..this marriage was driven by love and love only." He added, making me smile to myself as his words settled in.

Okay, I will let him have this one..even though this whole thing started because of the contract...he is right..I think I fell in love with Jamie since the first moment our eyes met..and I knew for a fact that I loved him on our wedding day..so he isn't wrong. "Yeah, you are right.." I whispered, feeling Jamie start to pepper kisses all along my throat and neck as a burst of giggles exploded from my lips.

"Wait, say it again..I like hearing those words come from you." He teased, making me roll my eyes.

"You are right Mr. Sinclair..our marriage is solely based on l-love.."

"And making the most adorable babies..don't forget that." Jamie mumbled, causing me to laugh yet again.

"Mhm..how could I when those adorable babies keep me up all night?"

"Well, if not them..then it would've been me.." Jamie added before wriggling his eyebrows and kissing me once again..

And I couldn't help but feel like this truly is a dream come true..Jamie Sinclair was my prince charming and this life..the life we have built together..this is my happily ever after..and I can't wait to live it every..single..day.
