|Carter|

"I love you so please do me the honor of being my wife," Carter says starting to go on one knee holding a little black box in his hands.

"Rebecca will you marry me," Carter asks resting on one knee holding the box open revealing a big diamond ring.

"Oh my god, yes Carter yes," she answers grabbing the ring out of the box and putting it on her finger before kissing him passionately.

"We're getting married," she says excitedly showing the camera her ring.

"I love you," Carter says winking at the camera before kissing her again.

"I love you too,"

one year after Carter's engagement: (some people were confused about what age everyone was so here you go Emma, Carter, and Rebecca are all twenty-three years old and Charlotte is five years old).

|Emma|

"MOMMY," Charlotte yells as she runs into me, holding her little arms out to me.

"Darling, how was your day at school," I ask picking her up off the ground, kissing her cheek, and nuzzling my face into her little neck.

"It was good," Charlotte answers giggling at my actions.

My beautiful daughter Charlotte is now five years old and let me tell you she's a perfect little girl and I love her with my whole heart. I once had a dream that was me having a perfect little family with him but he's engaged to Rebecca now and yes I'm sad but I'm also happy for him. He deserves to live his life how he planned, and not be held back because of Charlotte and I. I now work at a hotel, that pays somewhat well, I mean it pays enough to support both of us. Also, Charlotte is now in kindergarten, which means I have more hours free during the week that I can work which is great.

We both get interrupted but my phone buzzing in my pocket, I slowly put Charlotte back on the ground, and grab my phone out of my pocket to answer it.

"Hi, mom what's up," I ask her grabbing Charlotte's hand so we can cross the street together to the cab I ordered.

"Hi honey, I was wondering if you and Charlotte could come home this week," she asks as I tell the driver the directions to our apartment.

"You know I would love to but I don't know mom, it's risking a lot more with him back in town now," I answer giving the driver some money and a tip before getting out of the car completely.

"I know honey, but I miss you guys and you haven't been back here for a long time, please I promise you won't come into contact with him," she explains to me as I open the door to our apartment complex, heading towards the elevators.

"I know and I'm sorry about that, and you what sure we will be there tomorrow," I say smiling unlocking our apartment door and walking in.

"Oh honey that makes me so happy and excited, I love you see you tomorrow," she says as I sit down on the couch with Charlotte cuddling up next to me.

"I love you too see you tomorrow," I say before hanging up and turning the tv on.

I can't believe I agreed to go, I haven't been back there for a long time, only when I knew Carter was out of town for business, but now I guess we're going to California. I mean don't get me wrong Charlotte will love it now that she is a little older than she was last time we went there and she loves seeing her Mimi. But I'm now worried because Carter and Rebecca are there to plan their wedding, and that's dangerous because what if we bump into Carter in the grocery store or something, I don't what I would do in that situation. Not that there is a big possibility because they are pretty busy with work and wedding plans. But I still can't help but worry about it, anyway I have to pack now and call the hotel to take a vacation, and so much more.

I turn my body a little bit so I'm facing Charlotte before telling her the big news, "Charlotte darling have some news,"

"Yes mommy," she answers.

"Would you like to go see Mimi for the WHOLE week," I ask her?

"YES YES YES," Charlotte says jumping off of the couch and up and down.

"Okay good, go set out some of your clothes to take with us," I ask her before standing up myself.

"Okay, mommy,"

"Thank you, darling," I tell her kissing her forehead.

"You're welcome," Charlotte says.

The next day at the airport:

I spent all of last night trying to pack and having second thoughts about the whole trip, I still can't believe I'm going back to California I feel like this is crazy. I'm risking everything, but is worth it? I mean, of course, it is because my mom hasn't seen Charlotte in a couple of months. And Charlotte and I love adventures so here's to the biggest one yet. I wonder if I will see Carter after all of these years I hope I don't for obvious reasons. But for me I hope I do because honestly, I miss him, he is my best friend and the love of my life after all. If he did find out about Charlotte would he be mad at me? And I may never know.

Well here goes nothing as Charlotte and I board the plane.
