Amanda's POV:

*A month later*

It's been a month since Homecoming and everything's been great. Christian and I finally adopted the twins and their officially Christian and I's kids and I couldn't be happier. Mom and Dad supported my decision as they were the ones who suggested it. We have gotten closer over the last month as well as Alyssa. Everything's just great.

Although everything is going great, I can't help but wonder where the hell my aunt is. We still don't know where she is. Tyler said that they were a few possibles places that she could be hiding but they're still not sure about them. I just really want to see her, I want to talk to her and ask her about why she did those stuff to me. I'll admit, what she did is unforgivable, but she's still family, she's still my aunt. I forgave her for what she did long ago, because if I didn't then I wouldn't learn how to be an independent woman, so in some way, she helped me.

"Babe, you're zoning out again." I heard Christian's voice say from beside me. I pushed the thoughts away and looked at me giving him a sheepish smile.

"Sorry babe, I'm just thinking of some stuff." I said

"What stuff?" He asked

"Just stuff, well specifically my aunt." I said and bowed my head, I heard him sigh and he took my hands in his and lifted my head up to meet his eyes.

"Babe, don't worry, we'll find her. She's bound to show up some time soon, and so soon enough you'll have your answers." He said, I sighed and nodded my head.

"You're right, thanks babe." I said and buried my face in his shoulder.

Christian and I are in the living room at the moment watching TV. The twins are in their room taking a nap. Amanda and Tyler were at work. Christian and I decided to have a lazy day and watch TV all day long.

We were currently watching Toy Story 3, it was Christian's choice FYI, but I don't mind. I love Toy Story.

"Mommy, Daddy, I'm hungry." We heard a voice say from the bottom of the stairs. I stood up and walked over to the stairs to see Ashley rubbing her eyes.

"Hey baby, cmon let's get you fed." I said and lifted her in my arms. Christian followed Ashley and I in the kitchen and he made some snacks for Ashley.

"Where's your brother?" I asked her

"He's still in bed but he's awake, he just doesn't wanna get up." She said

"Okay, you stay here with Daddy, I'll go get your brother." I told her, she nodded her head and gave me a smile.

"I'll be right back." I said to both of them and walked out the kitchen and walked up the stairs and into the twins' room. I walked in to see Ashton staring at the ceiling.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked, his head snapped in my direction and gave me a small smile.

"Hey Mom, nothing's wrong. I'm just thinking of stuff." He said, I walked towards his bed and sat beside him.

"What's going on inside that little head of your's?" I asked him and wrapped my arm around his shoulder. He immediately snuggled up beside me and leaned his head on my shoulder.

"I think I saw Aunt Lucy yesterday." He said

"What?" I asked, he took a deep breath and looked up at me looking me in the eye.

"I think I saw Aunt Lucy yesterday." He repeated

"Where? And who were you with? Did your sister see her too?" I asked him

"No, Ashley didn't see her, I was quick to pull her away so she couldn't see. We were with Daddy yesterday, he took us to the park. That was the time when you were with Aunt Alyssa. Daddy was sitting on the bench while Ashley and I ran around playing with each other, that was until I saw her." He paused for a second and took a deep breath.

"She was there looking at us, I knew for sure that it was her, Mom. She was staring right at us, I froze in my spot and Ashley was confused and tried to find what I was looking at but I quickly pulled her away and went to Daddy asking him for ice cream because I knew that Ashley loves ice cream." He continued, I could see the fear in his eyes as he told the story.

"I'm scared Mom, I didn't know what to do, I didn't know whether to tell Dad or not, but I just know that I needed to tell you." He said, I pulled him in a hug and held him close.

"I'm so sorry baby, you should've told your Dad." I told him, he sighed and wrapped his arms around me.

"I love you so much, Mommy. I'm sorry, I didn't know how to tell Daddy." He said, I rubbed his back as I felt his tears stain my shirt.

"I love you too baby, don't worry, we'll sort everything out. We'll find Aunt Lucy and we'll sort everything out." I said

"Now stop crying baby, cheer up. Daddy made snacks for you and your sister." I said, he pulled away from me and gave me a smile.

"Really? He did?" He asked, I smiled and nodded my head.

"Yeah, so cmon let's go down, or do you want to wash up first?" I asked him

"Wash up" He said, I nodded my head and we both went to the bathroom and he splashed his face with water. After washing up he dried his face with a towel and turned to me.

"I'm ready, Mommy. Cmon let's go, I'm hungry." He said, I chucked and he grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the bathroom and out of their room and down the stairs. We walked into the kitchen to see Ashley eating her food and Christian on his phone.

"Daddy, food!" Ashton said, Christian's head snapped to him and he gave a smile.

"Hey bud, cmon let's feed you." He said and picked him up placing him on the stool next to Ashley. I couldn't stop thinking about Aunt Lucy, if Ashton saw her at the park yesterday then that means she's nearby.

"I'm done, Daddy." I heard Ashely's voice say, he took her plate and placed it in the sink.

"Your parents called, they said they're gonna stop and stay for dinner because Mom and Dad invited them over along with Alyssa." He said, I smiled and nodded my head. I haven't seen Mom and Dad in a week and I miss them already. A few minutes later the doorbell rang.

"Do you think that's them?" I asked

"Maybe" He shrugged

"I'll get it!" Ashely said

"No, I'll get it!" Ashton said, they both hopped off the stools and bolted to the door.

"Mommy! Daddy!" We heard the twins yell, Christian and I immediately rushed to the front door. I swear my heart almost stopped beating.

"Aunt Lucy?"
