7 years later

Julia's POV

"Mommy look! It's a snowflake!" Sky called out to me.

"Snow!" screamed Carter.

Over the past 7 years, I gave birth to two amazing children. Carter, my son who's now 6 and Skylar, my daughter who's now 4.

They turned Reed and I's world upside down but made our lives so much better. They're our world.

I always knew that Reed would make an amazing father, but seeing it first hand really warms my heart. He was born to be a dad and nobody could do a better job.

He's still leading the Red Viper's although now, he runs it alongside Will and their gang's have fully joined together to make an unstoppable gang.

Carter and Jamie became best friends pretty much from the minute Carter was born. Jamie is a year or so older than Carter, but that didn't change anything.

After Carter was born, a few more children were brought into our crazy mafia family too. Ivy gave birth to two more boys, Ryan and Lucas. They're non-identical twins and she is the best mom I know.

She loves all of her boys more than life itself, although I can tell that it can be draining sometimes.

We're still the best of friends and it's not just us who've expanded our families.

Dawn also gave birth to another little ray of sunshine around the same time that I had Skylar. Now she has another cousin closer to her age called Hailey.

Not only that, but Cyrus finally found himself a girlfriend.

She was one of the new members of the Vipers and she's called India. She's a real badass with blonde hair and a nose ring.

All of our lives were coming together nicely and I was happy.

"Snowball fight!" Reed shouted as he and Carter ran towards Sky and I with snowballs in hand.

One hit me directly in the shoulder, with the other missing Sky by mere centimetres.

We were away on a winter vacation with the kids before Reed had to get back to work and it was bliss.

We had a cosy little cottage to stay in with enough space for the kids but also enough space for us to have a little alone time.

I leaned down to the snow and moulded it into a snowball, throwing it straight into Reed's face as the kids fought among themselves.

As the snow hit his face, he ran towards me and tackled me into the snow.

I wiped the ice from my face and looked up into my husbands deep brown eyes as he looked down at me with a smile on his face.

I slowly grabbed some more snow in my hand and smashed it into his face with my hand, leaving him on top of me in shock whilst I couldn't contain my laughter.

"Gotcha." I laughed.

"You play dirty." he said, wiping the snow from his brow.

"I know, but I had to get you back for tackling me."

"Fair enough...now what do you say, we go back to the house and get in the hot tub?" he whispered, leaning closer to my face.

Just as I was about to speak, both of the kids ran over and jumped on Reed's back, knocking them all straight on top of me.

We all lay in the snow, laughing uncontrollably and I felt so happy in that moment.

"I'd say that they like that idea babe." I giggled.

My whole life, I'd always thought of myself as a boring small town girl who would never leave her her home town.

I never thought that I was worthy of love and surrounded myself around the most negative of people.

Who knew that being kidnapped by a gang leader would've been the best thing to ever happen to me?

Although Reed and I have certainly had our bad moments, he changed my life for the better and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

He saved me and showed me a life where I could be happy. He gave me the most perfect family as well as the best friends in the world and I couldn't be more thankful.

He'd given me everything I could ever possibly want and more.

Most people thought of my husband as heartless...but he's far from it. He's perfect.

As we walked back to the house hand in hand alongside our children, I looked at my husband with admiration in my eyes.

"Reed..."

"What's up baby?" he asked in curiosity.

"I love you so much." I said, cuddling into his arm, as I looked at our children playing in front of us.

"I love you too." he said, kissing me on the top of my head.

I guess happy endings do come true...
