Everyone was ecstatic with the outcome and truthfully, although we had all wanted him locked up for life, we were just happy he was locked up. Everyone was on such a high that they wanted to go out and celebrate. As much as I wanted to celebrate, right now all I wanted was to get home to see my baby. It's been nearly two whole days since I held Elise and it was killing me being apart from her. I just needed to hold her in my arms and tell her I love her and that I had managed to keep my promise to protect her. Joshua looked at me before whispering in my ear. "Can we just go home? I want to see Elise." A big smile graced my face.

"I swear you can read my mind sometimes because that is exactly what I was thinking." Giving him a kiss we told everyone celebrations would be back at our house. As usual no one objected because they all loved the house and by the way Elle looked at me with a big smile, I knew straight away she was thinking the same as Joshua and me.

As soon as we pulled into the drive of our house, I spotted Joshua's mother holding my baby princess. The car couldn't stop quickly enough for me. Before the engine even cut, Joshua and I were running towards our baby. Scooping my baby into my arms, I cried tears of joy. This was how I had imagined us in my dreams. Joshua Elise and I hugging and smiling, my heart swelled with the love that flowed between us. It was electrical but as always, when our friends are near; our special moment was short lived.

"Hey you two are being greedy! Now let me give my god child some loving." As much as I hated Elle for ruining our special moment, I couldn't help laughing at her childish pouty face.

"She's mine" I said pouting, as I turned around and begrudgingly handed her over my baby. Jack came up to Elle's side and leaned in and kissed Elise on the forehead before kissing Elle on her cheek. It was so cute and looking at the way Elle was blushing, I knew this was not just some fling she was having. Lisa came over and hugged me while Joshua and Paul hugged us. Lost in our hugs I had forgotten all about Joshua's mother.

"Well damn you kids, tell me what happened, how can keep an old woman like me waiting in the dark like this." We all looked up to see Joshua's mother standing there playing nervously with her hands. She looked as if she was going to breakdown at any given second. Seeing the tears in her eyes I suddenly felt guilty. Running over to her I hugged her hard.

"We won. He is locked up." I whispered as I began to chock up again. Seriously with the amount of tears I had cried, you would think I wouldn't be able to cry no more but here I was crying again. She held me and by the way her body shook, I knew that she was crying too, bless her. She has been the mother to me that I have always longed for and in all honesty, she has been more of a mother to me than my own flesh and blood.

Joshua came over and hugged his mother and me. "Come on now, let's go and celebrate with our friends, no more tears ok?" we both nodded while we wiped our tears away. "Good now come on I have a surprise for you." He said while looking at me as his mother walked with the others into the house.

I tried asking what the surprise was, I even tried begging but Joshua wasn't having any of it. Even the puppy dog eyes weren't working for me and believe me, they always work. I loved surprises but I really hated the not knowing part of them. However as soon as we walked into the house; I stood frozen by the site of the foyer. It was filled with luggage. At first, on a wishful thought, I thought that my parents had actually come to see me but by the amount of luggage stacked up, I knew that it was no way just my parents.

Aloud honking sounded behind me, startling me and making me jump. Turning around I spotted a mini bus had parked up. The driver got out and greeted us before he began taking the luggage out of the house and loading onto the bus. I looked back and spotted everyone laughing at me. I could feel my mouth hanging open but I was in shock.

"Isabella." Joshua called to get my attention. "Hmm" I mumbled as I watched everyone standing their watching me. "This is your surprise my love. Come on we have a flight to catch and before you ask, the answer is still no! I'm not telling where we are going but I promise you now. You will love it." Going up on my tippy toes I kissed him before whispering in his ear.

"How did you... I mean when did you...." Everyone laughed as they stood there watching me struggle as I tried to ask what was going on. Joshua just smiled and hugged me tight. "Don't be worrying about anything, this is for you Isabella. Please for once, just accept what I'm doing and enjoy, without all the questioning." Giving me another kiss on the lips, I decided for once in my life I was not going to question or even refuse Joshua's generosity. I was going to do exactly as Joshua said; I was just going to relax and enjoy it, whatever the it was.

"I love you so much Joshua. God has truly blessed me by giving me you."

"No Isabella, it is I who has been truly blessed by God. He has not only giving me the most beautiful heart-warming woman in the world but also our precious daughter. I love you so much. If I had to go through everything again just to be with you, then I would because we are together now. I know in my heart and soul that we are going to love each other until the day we die. We were meant to be Isabella. Don't ask me how I know this but I can feel it right here." With his hands over his heart, I cut him off and kissed him with every emotion I was feeling. The love I felt was, a love I never in a million years thought I would experience, let alone feel.

This is what I have been longing and praying for. Joshua Elise and me, as one happy family and now that Jaxon is locked up, Audrey will also be out of my life.

Here I am now, with my best friends and my soon to be mother in-law and last but certainly not least my knight and shinning amour and our daughter.

As we broke to get some much needed air Joshua smiled down at me. "You remember how you always said you wanted a new start once everything was behind us?" I nodded my head knowing he meant Jaxon and the case. "The minute you step onto that bus, that is our new beginning. The beginning of us as a family. You, me and Elise. However, I will have to apologize ahead, for our friends tagging along but as you know, oh too well, there is no stopping them from gate crashing." I giggled knowing damn well he couldn't have stopped them even if he tried. Then again, my new start in life included them, all of them. I had no doubt in my mind, that wherever we were going, I was going to get lots of opportunities to slip away and have Joshua all to myself.

I had managed to find out where we were going the minute we arrive to the boarding gates. It was funny really, as everyone had done everything to stop me finding out but the people behind us let it slip, not that they knew what they had done. Then again they did after Elle started shouting at them for spoiling the surprise and funnily enough, they apologized repeatedly even though it wasn't really their fault. How were they meant to know, I thought to myself laughing.

Hours later we arrived in the Bahamas and just as we stepped off the plane, I looked back and smiled at seeing Joshua snuggling a sleeping Elise protectively in his arms. He looked every part of the proud dad that he was. I knew he was going to spoil her rotten but I didn't care because I loved him and in my eyes and everyone else's eyes, Joshua was Elise's dad and that was that.

Apparently this part of the trip wasn't the surprise, yes it was a part of it but the best part is still to come, so Lisa tells me any way.

Elle and Paul were dancing and singing excitedly as we walked through to get our baggage. As soon as everyone had reclaimed their bags we began to make our way towards the exit where Joshua said a driver would be waiting for us.

The minute we were in the SUV Paul and Elle were still shouting "LETS PARTY!!!!" whilst Jack and Lisa rolled their eyes at their lover's childish behaviour, Joshua and I were literally cracking up.

I thought back to how only this morning I had thought that this was going to be the worst day of my life! And look at me now, I'm in the Bahama's with all my nearest and dearest as well as my one true love and baby girl. And I have to say, this has turned out to be the best day of my entire life, well alongside the day that I gave birth to my precious baby girl that is.

As we climbed out of the SUV I gasped, at how beautiful the place was. Joshua had not booked us into hotels but had rented out little houses which were literally floating upon the sea. It was paradise. Although the sun was setting, the water still sparkled. The sea was so clear; I could literally see fishes swimming about.

Standing in front of Joshua, he took hold of my hand and turned me around so that I'm facing him.

"Isabella. I know that you have already agreed to be my wife but I was thinking, how about we make an official date right here and now. Let's get married. I'm not saying that we get married today or even on this holiday but I would love for us to come back real soon and become husband and wife. What do you think?" looking around I knew this would be the icing on the cake to my biggest fantasy.

"Joshua I would love to! This place is perfect just like you. I do agree though that now is not the time but maybe in a few months, what do you think?" I asked whilst feeling like I was floating on a high of love.

"I think that whatever you want is perfect for me because whatever makes you happy makes me happy" with those last words we sealed it with a kiss. We were going to come back and get married, soon, very soon.

Everything that has happened over the last year, now feels like just a distant nightmare. A nightmare I would never ever want to live through again.

I felt light, I felt happy, and I felt loved and complete. I was now living the life I had only dreamed of. Joshua was mine as I was his. We were one and Elise is ours, Joshua's and my daughter.

To be continued.
