Promise me that you will meet me here again,

We are two bodies but our hearts beat as one

You are my dawn

You are my twilight

For you, my heart aches

And only you can allay the pain

I have only one wish ever

Be mine, forever.....

FOUR YEARS LATER......…

The tyres screeched against the driveway as Daniel scurried out of his car running towards the main door but subconsciously his legs halted themselves remembering that he forgot to shut the car door. He clicked his tongue in annoyance and turned to shut it but then his mind rotated to a more critical issue making him rush back inside his house.

"Dad, you are late!"

"Daddy's home!" 

Two voices greeted his ears as soon as he stepped inside with the owner of one voice hugging his legs while the other one hugging his abdomen. A warm feeling filled his heart like every day, coming home and being greeted by his family. It was the most luxurious thing a man could have.

"Hey kids, how was your day!" Daniel ruffled the hair of his seven-year-old son who pouted at him. With the passing time, he was just growing more and more like Daniel.

"It's still daytime dad!" Ozan muttered, making him chuckle as he turned to lift her daughter.

"And how is my princess Ayla," Daniel placed a lingering peck on her forehead as the four-year-old blushed smiling at his father.

Yes, Ayla Hayat Orsini came into this world four years before and Amy decided to name her after her late sister. It was such an emotional moment for everyone including Vahide and Daniel he just became even more overprotective of his daughter.

"Do I really look like a princess daddy!" Ayla inquired, showing off her pink pearly gown and matching shoes. Her beautiful long hair which she inherited from her grandmother styled in a perfect braid. Ayla was more like her mother and grandmother, only having his father's face cut.

"Yes, a pretty little princess!" Daniel praised, bending down to his knees, eyeing his daughter and then turning towards Ozan.

"And you look like a perfect gentleman," He said to Ozan who was dressed in a black tuxedo, looking cute and stylish.

"And you look like someone who is going to get scolded by mom!"  Ozan commented, making Ayla giggle. One thing about Ozan was he was much more intelligent and understanding than another child of his age.

Daniel dipped his brows in confusion but then realization hit him.

"Oh no, you guys stay here while I go see your mom," He scurried towards the stairs, climbing up to his room.

"Best of luck Daddy," Ayla's childish voice reached from a distance.

Shaking his head, Daniel peeked inside their bedroom before cautiously entering inside only to see his wife standing in front of the mirror, wearing her earrings.

Daniel stared at her from the mirror before walking up to her and pressing himself against her, his hands wrapping around her waist.

"Daniel, Oh my God. Don't scare me like that!" Amy shrieked, getting startled by his presence.

"Can't I surprise my beautiful wife!" He whispered against her ear, fanning his warm breath against her smooth skin.

Amy smacked her hand, 

"Your flattering won't get you away. You were supposed to be back home an hour ago!" Amy muttered, throwing daggers his way.

"I know but I got stuck in a meeting."

"Even I had a potential case but I left it because today is an important day!" Amy chided, wearing her bracelet, her body still pressed against him.

After Ozan started his preschool and Ayla turned six months old, Amy resumed her work as a criminal lawyer. It was difficult at first because she would be worried about her children but then Daniel would help her a lot by taking some days off and working from home when she was super busy and vice versa. Martha was also there to help along with Vahide who forcefully took kids with her for weekends. 

It really gave her time to herself and with Daniel since getting back at work usurped it. But they always managed to have time for one another and go on dates, having their passionate moments and lovemaking. Sometimes that 'us' time would be snatched away by Silas and Nadia or going on family picnics but they didn't mind as long as they had a happy family time.

"I am sorry," He mumbled running his nose along her neck eliciting a sweet groan from her mouth.

Even after all these years, this woman still managed to stagger his breathing and awake the overwhelming desire in his body. His body, mind and soul only yearned for her.

"Daniel Saritas, we are already late and we won't leave this house if you keep doing that!" Amy shoved his face off her neck despite her protesting body, turning towards the bed to grab her purse.

"Emir and Alana won't mind!" Daniel protested, only to receive a glare from Amy. 

He raised his hands in surrender looking at her expression, his gaze travelling down to her body and settling on her swollen belly.

"How are my babies?" He asked with admiration, edging closer and bending down to place a kiss on her oversized tummy. A smile erupted on Amy's angry face.

"They are fine, moving around a lot, maybe having a party inside their temporary home." 

Six months before, after returning from a family trip to Switzerland, Amy found out that she was pregnant again. Though they already planned to have three children, an ultrasound later came as a surprise that they were having twins this time. A girl and a boy, double the trouble and happiness.

Daniel chuckled, rising to her level and placing a chaste kiss on her lips.

"Are you ready to be a mother of four," 

Amy giggled caressing her bump where Daniel placed a kiss before.

"With you, I am ready for everything and this is a fruit of our love," 

"You mean lovemaking!" Daniel smirked, 

"What am I going to do with you? Let's go, we are getting late." Amy rolled her eyes waddling out of their room, a tint covering her cheeks.

The evening sky loomed over them as they walked over the soft grass leading to the reception facing the lake house towards the beautifully decorated altar.

Light of the day draining away, soothing breeze blowing around the lake slightly fanning away the flowers opted for decoration, letting nature wash in. Gentle whispers of the people and soft music filled the venue as they waited for the wedding to be started. Emir finally decided to move on in his life with much saying from everyone around. Though Ayla would always be his first love, he found comfort and affection in his neighbour Alana who was an art teacher. A beautiful young woman who captured everyone's heart.

Close to the altar stood Nadia and Silas with their two sons Aiden and Alden. They got married a month after Ayla was born, welcoming their first son Aiden a year later followed by Alden last year. It was a star-studded event, the meaning is Silas instead of calling wedding planners called party decorators and that's how it ended up with the star theme venue. A sight to behold but you can expect that from him.

Suddenly, Ayla cheered seeing her aged fellows wriggling out of Daniel's hold and rushing towards them. 

"Ayla, Dont run" Daniel called out.

"Don't worry Dad, I will look after her!" Ozan said before Daniel could mutter anything.

Amy smiled kissing his head, 

"My boy has already grown up," He grinned before running after her sister and her playmates who all were enjoying treats set on the table.

Daniel and Amy turned towards the couple who as always was bickering with each other. The fascinating thing was no matter his much they fought, their love always succeeded in the end.

"You are too much Silas, how can you forget about the wedding present!"

"It's not my fault, you asked me to change Alden's diaper,"

"Don't make stupid excuses!"

"I am not…."

Amy glanced at Daniel seeing that he was too enjoying the everyday drama.

"Well, hello guys!" Daniel spoke gaining their attention as they both sighed before beaming at their friends.

Both Amy and Nadia took a nearby table while Silas and Daniel stood near the altar where Emir was talking to the minister.

"Who would have thought, we will be witnessing Emir getting married after Ayla," Silas said fixing his bow.

"Life is strange my brother, having its own definition of perfection. Now see who would have thought you as a father to those trouble makers!" Daniel remarked with a scoff, silently thanking God for giving him calm and easy to deal with children.

Silas glared at his comment but then smirked, 

"Don't say such things when you have two on the way,"  His eyebrows wriggled at that. Daniel chuckled, 

"We have come a long way brother," Silas spoke out of a sudden giving a dramatic look.

"Indeed, even with this dramatic nature of yours," 

"I know, you like that side of mine," Silas said confidently but Daniel only shrugged.

"I never said that," But Silas grinned seeing the smile on his face knowing where he stood in his life.

In a matter of time, music started and Alana walked down the aisle to a smiling Emir. Amy stood watching the ceremony imagining for a moment about all this happening with Ayla as the bride but quickly shut down her thoughts. Everyone has a right to find true love and now it was Emir's turn, she looked up at the sky smiling knowing that Ayla would be happy too.

The ceremony soon ended with Emir and Alana officially married, following the small reception filled with food, chatters, laughs and dances.

As everyone was busy in their own bubble, Daniel silently walked to a nearby tree. He stood there watching everyone enjoying under the starry night, his wife chattering away with Alana and Nadia. Silas playing around with all the children, all made him nostalgic for a moment.

Recollecting the time when he yearned for love and attention. When he desired to have a home with Amy and their children and here he was standing in front of that sight of his beautiful family. 

"Daniel," a melodious voice pulled him out of his trance, turning to the side he saw Amy looking at him with a frown, holding her protruding stomach.

"What are you thinking alone?"

He took a step towards her, wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her flush against him making her yelp.

He gently stroked her cheek with his fingers, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Just thinking how can you become more beautiful every time I gaze at you," He muttered, his eyes wandering around her face taking on those tempting eyes that always drowned him in love and desire. Those soft lips, pale face that made the autumn in his heart fall into spring with just a curve of a smile.

Amy's face flushed, even after receiving those compliments nearly every day from him, her heart still fluttered at his sweet words.

"You know, I could spend my forever in this sweet surrender," She mumbled, placing her arms on his chest staring intently into his electrifying orbs.

His lips curved into a soft smile as he leaned in fanning her face with his breath, kissing her cheeks and slowly moving towards her lips.

"Who said you have a choice," He asked, pulling her impossibly closer, the warmth of her belly surging through him. Their lips almost touching but none dared to seal the gap as they continued to wander into one another's orbs.

"Daddy, mommy!" Ayla's childish voice broke their trance as they both chuckled, leaning their foreheads before pulling away.

"What happened princess?" Daniel asked tending to his daughter who looked dishevelled after a lot of running around and playing.

"I am sleepy," She yawned extending her arms as Daniel held her up, caressing her hair.

"Me too Dad!" Ozan came from behind, rubbing his eyes. Indeed it was nearing midnight and both of them ensured their children's bedtime to be at ten.

"They are right Daniel, let's go home!" Amy muttered holding Ozan's hand.

Daniel nodded looking around, Silas and Nadia were also walking towards their car while everyone else was also planning on leaving.

"Let's go then," Daniel said, extending his one hand to Amy who grabbed it gently as the four of them walked towards their car. Ayla dozing off in his arms while Ozan on the other side walked along holding his mother's hand.

He glanced at Amy with a loving smile. It was a long journey they had to go through but it didn't matter because they knew it was worth it. She was the woman he loved, he yearned for, his best friend, life partner and mother of his children.

Feeling a gaze, Amy glanced at him and returned his smile with the same loving one.. It took her long to shatter her delusions and finally see the light in her life but it was worth it because, in the end, she found where her heart truly belonged, with her best friend, her better half and the father of her children.
