Amelie’s POV

I was a ball of nerves. I wanted to protect these children with all of my heart. I know they wouldn’t want for anything material with Carrington, but they deserved a home and love. I hoped one day they would accept me as a mother figure. I wanted to give them everything in their childhood that I missed out on. It was terrifying to wait for their decision. I couldn’t force them to choose me, and the lack of control had me on pins and needles.

“I want to live with you, Princess and Naffin,” Eliza squealed through her toothless grin.

Eliza jumped out of her seat and ran over to me. She hopped up on my lap and hugged me. I smiled so hard that a tear rolled down my face.

Logan sat quietly. He stared down at his plate. Then, slowly, he started to speak.

“I just don’t know what to say,” he whispered.

“That’s ok. You don’t have to say anything,” I encouraged him. “It’s so new and frightening. I know your mind is going in 20,000 different directions. I’ve been there. I just want y

    Amelie’s POVI headed down to the front desk in the lobby and was greeted by Lucas’ smiling face.“Mrs. Michaels, so glad to see you back,” Lucas stated. “It’s great to see you again, Lucas,” I replied. “How is Wendy and the kids?”“They are doing great. Melissa lost her first tooth yesterday,” Lucas announced.“Did my husband tell you about our newest family members?” I asked.“Yes, he told me Master Logan and Miss Eliza are to live with you permanently,” Lucas said, smiling.“Yes, Eliza lost her first two teeth as well,” I notified him. “I guess the tooth fairy is a busy woman this week.”Lucas laughed, “She sure is. I take it you’ve come for your mail and packages.”“Packages?” I said, puzzled. “I don’t think we were expecting anything.”“It’s mostly mail, just a couple of small boxes with it,” Lucas advised. “I’ll grab them from the back office.”Lucas walked through the door behind him and returned within minutes, handing over the mail and two small boxes.“Thank you, Lucas,” I

    Nathan’s POVAfter we all piled into the limo, we set off for the penthouse. Eliza was almost asleep next to Amelie, meanwhile Logan and Zander sat across from each other and were playing on their phones. Biscuit was lying upside down on Zander’s lap, and I could hear his little puppy snores.I was holding Amelie’s hand, and we talked about redecorating the bedrooms for the kids. Logan had said he wanted a hockey-themed room, and Eliza wanted a pink princess room. I guess she had decided that she no longer wanted to be a queen. Instead, she wanted to be a princess just like Amelie.Amelie had visited Trudy in the guest house with Eliza and had made a cute little tooth-shaped tooth fairy pouch for Eliza’s tooth. Eliza also lost her other front tooth while she was there. The tooth fairy was going to have to mortgage her house tonight.“I was thinking I can see if Samira’s husband can come up with ideas for Logan and Eliza’s rooms,” I suggested. “The kids can even help plan the design.”

    Amelie’s POVWe packed up Logan and Eliza’s belongings that were at Carrington’s and had them moved to the penthouse. We’d probably have to go over to Alfred & Fiona’s house a few times this week to gather up the rest of their stuff or have it packed up by a moving company and sent over.I stood in the living room watching Logan and Eliza play with Biscuit. It warmed my heart to see them looking happy despite what had happened a few days ago.I heard the clicking of heels approach.“Oh, so it is true,” Vivian drawled out. “Alfred’s spawn is here.”I attempted not to bite her head off as she approached. “Vivian,” I simply stated.“So, where are the little rug rats living now?” She said, looking at her manicure. “I take it Carrington will have them and send them off to boarding school.”“Actually, Nathan and I will be their guardians after we sign the paperwork on Tuesday,” I said, smiling at the children.“You have got to be joking,” Vivian sneered.“No, I’m quite serious. Nathan and I

    Nathan’s POVWe decided to talk to Logan and Eliza after brunch. If they would agree to come live with us. We all, including Zander, could head home to the penthouse today. I did not doubt that Amelie could convince them. My wife could sell sand to people sitting on a beach.We were sitting in bed, talking, when we heard a small knock on the door.“Who is it?” Amelie called.“It’s me, Princess,” Eliza yelled back.Amelie hopped out of bed and went to the door. Luckily, she was wearing her tank top and shorts. I, on the other hand, had to scurry into the closet to pull on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. I walked out of the closet to find Amelie and Eliza snuggled on the bed.“Well, if it isn’t my two favorite girls in the world,” I announced.Eliza giggled and blushed. “Naffin,” she lisped.I looked startled and mimicked her. “Naffin?” I said. “When did I change my name to Naffin?”“LOOK!” Eliza screamed. “I LOST MY FRONT TOUFF!”“Oh, so that’s why I’m Naffin,” I chuckled. “Now, I

    Amelie’s POVI headed to the bathroom to clean up and found Biscuit surrounded by the roll of toilet paper he had unraveled. I burst into laughter, and Nathan came running. He almost doubled over with laughter. It was hard to be so mad at Biscuit with him looking so darn cute in the center of all the toilet paper. Nathan picked him up and handed him to me, and he made quick work of cleaning up the mess. Nathan brought a warm face cloth out to clean me up.We quickly dressed and headed back to the main house, where we were greeted by utter chaos.“What’s going on?” I asked.“Eliza woke up and couldn’t find you. She is freaking out. Grandfather took her to the kitchen to get her some water,” Zander stated.I panicked and ran towards the kitchen. I pushed open the door, and Eliza was holding Carrington’s hand and hyperventilating.“Eliza!” I exclaimed.“PRINCESS!” Eliza screamed and ran towards me. She burst out in tears. “I thought you were gone. I was so afraid you went to heaven and I

    Nathan’s POVI wrangled Amelie to run towards the pool house. I know it’s unlocked, because I planned on taking her out there tonight, but why not do it now? I am purposely holding back from catching her. I could have easily grabbed her by now, but her cute little shrieks and giggles are making the chase a bit more fun.I left the light on outside the pool house so it would draw her in that direction.Bingo! She has reached the door of the pool house. Go in my little kitten.I made it in right after her and heard her gasp.I knew we would have to take Biscuit out at some point. So I had decorated the pool house with a bunch of flameless candles. Right before she entered, I hit the remote in my pocket.“Nathan,” Amelie said, smiling. “You planned this? How?”“Maybe,” I smirked. “I just wanted to surprise you and make you feel loved.”Amelie turned to me, “Once again, how did I deserve someone as spectacularly wonderful as you?” Amelie stated.“Just lucky, I guess,” I snickered. “I appr

    Amelie’s POV“Princess, I want you to stay with me forever,” Eliza said sleepily. “I don’t have a mommy now. I want you to be my mommy. I love you, Princess.”“I love you, too, Eliza,” I whispered.I hugged her tight as we sat in bed. I don’t know if it was my overwhelming need to protect her from the loss of her parents or the fact that she was so sweet and truly needed me, but I wanted to give her what she asked for. I wanted to step up and take care of her. I knew I couldn’t replace her parents, but what if I could give the love and support she needed?“Sleep, my little one,” I stated, laying her down on her pillow and tucking her in.I watched her sleep for a few minutes; she was so angelic and small. She definitely needed to be loved and cared for. Not that Carrington wouldn’t make sure she was taken care of, but she needed a family, not a nanny, butler, and a housekeeper. Not sent away to boarding school. She needed a mom and dad who would love her. Holy shit, am I actually will

    Nathan’s POVGrandfather sat down in his usual chair by the fireplace.“I don’t really know how to say this or share this news,” Grandfather said, rubbing his forehead. “Logan and Eliza, there has been a huge accident.”“What do you mean?” Logan said, looking puzzled.Grandfather let out a sigh. You could tell he was really struggling with it.“Your father’s helicopter crashed,” Grandfather said. “Unfortunately, there were no survivors.”“What?” Logan screamed.“When they were flying home from your school,” Grandfather stated. “The helicopter went down. Your parents and your grandmother were killed.”“I knew I should have stopped him,” Logan started yelling and freaking out. “He killed them. That bastard killed them.”I stood up and grabbed Logan. “Logan, calm down,” I utte
