Nathan’s POV
They lifted the pig out of the imu, and I swear Amelie took 100 pictures. The guys taking it out actually asked if Amelie wanted to take a picture with them. She, of course, squealed and said yes. I have several pictures of her with them and, of course, the pig. RIP pig.
After, we took our seats in the VIP section near the front of the stage. A few dancers were out doing some hula dancing, and they played a few Hawaiian songs as people were called up to the buffet.
Once everyone had gone up to grab food, they started the entertainment. Basically, showcasing different dances throughout the Polynesian islands.
The different cultures and dances absolutely entranced Amelie. I had been to luaus before, but I was seeing it all new again through her eyes.
“Now, ‘ohana, we would like to welcome all of the people who are celebrating anniversaries,” Kailani spoke. “Who has been married the longest?”

Four Months LaterMorgan’s POVEverything has changed.The closeness and friendship I had with Dutton is gone. I don’t know when it started, but I miss it so much. Normally, I would cry on Nathan’s shoulder when something like this happens, but he’s in a really bad place right now. Earlier this month, Nathan’s father was killed in a car accident, and then two weeks later, his mother up and left him with his grandfather. Not that his mother's leaving was a bad thing. She is a wretched, selfish, egotistical woman. It may hurt Nathan now, but he is definitely better off not having her in his life.Granted, Dutton is still civil to me, but the bond we had is gone. Why do I miss it so much? It’s not like he was my boyfriend or anything. Oh gawd, did I want Dutton to be my boyfriend? He turned thirteen at the end of August, and I turn fifteen in three days. He’s too young, isn’t he? Plus, he probably doesn’t feel that way about girls yet. As far as boyfriends are concerned, I don’t have the
Dutton’s POV“Holy shit, Dutton,” Nathan exclaimed. “You look eighteen dressed like that.”“Shut up, I do not,” I said, shooting him a look. Although I definitely did look older.“Honestly, you look older than me,” Nathan chuckled.“So, I take it this will do for tonight?” I asked.“Definitely,” Nathan replied. “Oh, by the way, I talked to Morgan yesterday.”“You did?” I questioned, trying not to look too excited.“Yes, she invited us up to Paris on the weekend. She has a fashion show and she wants us to go,” Nathan advised.“That would be so awesome,” I expressed. “I’ll book train tickets when we get home.”“Dutton, I have a jet,” Nathan laughed.“Oh, sorry,” I stated. “I’m not used to that lifestyle.”“Well, you'd better get used to it, Dutton,” Nathan told me. “You’re like the little brother I never had, so you’re family now.”“I don’t know what to say, Nathan,” I sat down on the bench in the store. “For the longest time, it’s only been my grandmother and me. My mom passed giving b
2 years laterMorgan’s POVI can’t believe I kissed Paul yesterday under the bleachers. Ugh… what was I thinking? It’s not like I even like him; it’s Nathan that I’ve had a crush on forever. Worst yet, I caught my lip on his braces, and now I’m probably going to have a scar. There was so much blood.“Dutton, what am I going to do?” I said, with my face in my hands. “I don’t want to screw up our friendship.”“Just tell him that,” Dutton replied. “Tell him, listen, Paul, I don’t want to screw up our friendship. I made a mistake, and I don’t have feelings for you like that.”“Why are you so smart, Dutton?” Morgan asked. “You always have the best answers for everything.”I leaned over and hugged Dutton hard. He really was a fantastic friend. So attentive, helpful, and always there for me. He pretty much had become my best friend over the last two years.I looked up, and Nathan and Paul were coming towards us.“Hey,” Paul said sheepishly when he reached us.“Hey,” I responded.“Listen,” we

I had stepped off the bus at the private prep school, and a bunch of rich jocks started ridiculing me for several reasons. First, I took the bus. Who would ever take a bus to a private school? Me, obviously. I was the school's ‘charity case’. Second, I wore glasses. Yes, I am near-sighted, something I couldn’t control. Third and most importantly, I was short. Another thing I couldn’t control, especially since I had skipped two grades. They didn’t care, though, as soon as I stepped off that bus, I was fair game for their torture and ridicule.“Hey, nerd,” One of them call
Amelie’s POVI blinked open my eyes, and there was light dancing in through the curtains at the window. I looked over to my side, and Nathan was lying on a cot, asleep. He stayed here last night? He didn’t need to do that. As if sensing I was awake, Nathan stirred.“Good morning, sunshine,” I said, smiling.“Good morning, kitten,” Nathan replied.“You didn’t need to stay here last night,” I stated.“I wanted to stay,” Nathan exclaimed. “I wanted to be with you.”“Sorry, I fell asleep last night,” I told him.“No apologies, kitten, you were so tired,” Nathan revealed. “You didn’t even move when Ena changed your dressings. Oh, and Ena was right. It was just some normal discharge, not blood. She said it happens a lot with staples.”“That’s good to hear,” I responded. “Did you have a chance to look at my stomach? Is it really bad?”Nathan stood up from the cot, walked over towards me, and sat on the edge of my bed. “Amelie, your stomach looks amazing for having given birth to five babies,
Amelie’s POVI was beyond excited. I got to meet all my babies. I had only seen Baby A before I had passed out. The orderlies wheeled my entire bed over to my new room.A nurse walked in when I settled into the room.“Good evening, Mrs. Michaels,” the nurse said, smiling. “My name is Ena. I can honestly say in my twenty-six years as a nurse, I’ve never seen Quintuplets. You’re so tiny as well, too!”“Well, I felt like a house yesterday,” I giggled.“A great sense of humor, you’ll need it with so many children,” Ena said. “Do you want us to bring them all in, or one at a time?”I looked at Nathan and smiled. “Can you bring them all in?”“We certainly can. I’ve been working the nursery most of the afternoon and evening, and they are such good babies already,” Ena stated. “I’ll be right back.”Ena returned about ten minutes later with four other nurses.Oh my gosh, all these babies were mine! Well, mine and Nathan’s. I can’t believe we made all these lives.“So, skin contact is really im
