Bryce POV:
This was nice. Family dinner felt like we've done this for years. I was so happy that Adds had allowed me to be in Brielle and Beckham's life, especially after everything that had happened. I was brought back to reality when I heard my name being called.
Bri: Daddy, Beckham wants you
B: Yes, my son
Beck: Daddy, can me, you, mommy, and Brielle go camping in the backyard?
I thought about it. It was something the twins really wanted, but I don't know how Addison felt about it. Until Addison finally spoke up.
A: Of course, but you guys need to eat all of your food so that we can make s'mores at the end of the night.

Dixie POV:
I loved seeing this side of Addison. She was so much more open to me hat the twins wanted. I knew this is what she had dreamed about. This is what she cried to me about while she was pregnant. She never thought she would have it, but I knew it would take time. Honestly, Bryce had been a real surprise to me. He took the news pretty well and was definitely attending to his father's duties in the best way. The twins loved Bryce. It was as if they knew that their missing piece had been complete. No matter how hard Tayler tried to feel the space of Bryce, he couldn't. No one could as dinner was coming to an end. I decided it was best to take a family picture.
D: Okay, I need all of the Halls to take a family picture, please.
I was surprised that Addison had gotten up.
D: Last time I checked, you were an Easterling Addison
B: For now, but she's a hall at the heart
A: Oh whatever

Addison POV:
We got set up for the picture. Bryce and I putting each twin on our hip. One picture had turned into a whole mini photoshoot, and I loved it so much. I then heard keys in the door. We all looked over to the door, and Tayler walked in.
T: Well, well, if it isn't a happy family. Sunday Dinner without me already?
A: Don't start Tayler.
Bri: Tay Tay, where have you been?
T: oh Brielle, I won't be around any more thanks to your mother
B: Dixie and Noah, please take the twins upstairs and give them a bath.
Everyone went upstairs until it was just Addison, Tayler, and Bryce.
T: Wow, Addi, you were so quick to run right into Bryce's arms. You must have been really desperate
B: Don't speak to her that way. It's not cool
T: Aww, Bryce, have you been sleeping here?
A: Get out, Tayler. Before I call security and leave your key
T: Alright, I'll leave, but Bryce, I finally understood why you loved kissing Addison. Her lips are so soft
Bryce then punched Tayler in the face. Tayler got up from the floor laughing, leaving his keys on the floor, and left.

Bryce POV:
I was so angry Addison would have never kissed Tayler this had to be a lie. Why would she have kissed him, I mean? So many thoughts were running through my head, but I needed answers.
B: Is it true, Addison?
A: Is what true?
B: Have you kissed Tayler before
A: Yes, a few times, but that's it. It never went further
B: I'm going to change your locks on the door
A: Bryce, talk to me, please
B: No, I don't want to. I will stay and sleep in the tent and act like everything is good for Brielle and Beckham. Since we promised, our stuff doesn't come in between the twins. But, I mean, how do you expect me to feel, Addison? He was living my life. Taking care of my kids, kissing you. And you don't think I'm going to be upset that you didn't tell me about it.
I walked outside because I needed to get some air. There wasn't any way I would feel any type of okay. Especially knowing I wanted Addison back. All of a sudden, the twins came running outside. Noah and Josh were with them. They went to play on the playground while Josh, Noah, and I sat down.

Jo: So what's going on, Bryce? You don't look too happy.

B: I'm not happy in the slightest bit. Tayler and Addison had something going on.

N: You found out. I mean, who told you?

B: You know? Tayler told me, and I can't believe it.

N: I know, but it was only because Addison was lonely. She used Tayler as comfort, nothing more. She would always say she wasn't dating because of the way things happened between you guys. All I'm saying is don't break up what you guys had just because of Tayler. You'll regret it.

Noah and Josh got up and left. Addison came downstairs in her pajamas. And I went up to change. I thought about what Noah said. And as much as it hurt me, he was incredibly right. I couldn't give up Addison because she was lonely. Tayler had been there when it was my job to be there, but that wasn't happening anymore.

Addison POV:

I was outside with the twins. I had just got the fire started. I knew Bryce was hurt, but it wasn't my fault. I never took Tayler seriously because of Bryce because I was in love with him, and now we would have one very awkward family time.  I got out the things for the smores and sat the twins down. Before I knew it, Bryce was outside. We both made the twin's smores and began telling the twins stories.

Bri: Mommy, do you think we can go on a plane?

A: Yes, of course, baby, where do you want to go?

Bri: I want to go to the beach

B: So they are like you, Adds, huh?

A: Ya, I took them to the beach when they were younger. They love sand.

B: Alright, it is getting late. Let me put out the fire, and then we can go into the tent.

I brought the twins into the tent, making sure the little air mattresses were set up along with their sleeping bags and extra blankets. Bryce came into the tent. The twins asked for a story as they generally do every night, before bed.

B: Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess. She was so sweet and kind. While living in the castle, she had a ball one day. That's when she met the party animal prince. He was a bad boy. He never lived seriously. But, when he met the princess, he wanted to change for the better and for himself.  So, when the prince and the princess finally got together, it wasn't easy. Everyone thought they were wrong for each other.  The party animal was dumb and ended things and then ran. The princess found out they were having two beautiful babies, she tried to tell the prince, but couldn't. The princess raised the twins for three years. Until the prince came back and know they are a family. But, the prince wants the princess back really bad.

By this point, the twins had fallen fast asleep, and I was in tears. Bryce and I's story was nothing but extraordinary. It was full of many ups and downs. But, I just wanted to be with him, without all the drama. But that didn't seem like it was happening for us.

B: Look Adds, I am sorry for getting mad earlier. You just have to understand it is very difficult for me. I want you, and it's hard hearing you and Tayler had something. Going slow isn't working for me. I want to be able to hold you in my arms, every night. I want the twins to run into our room and jump on our bed every morning. I want to host a Sunday dinner at our house. I want to be able to have more kids. I want to be able to take vacations and baecations. And most importantly I want to be able to put a ring on your finger and call you my wife. Because I love you, and I've known it since the day we've met, and I will know it until I die.

I was in tears, I felt so overwhelmed. It felt stupid for me to be wanting to go slow with Bryce, but I was scared. But, somehow it seemed like my love for him was about to over conquer the fear.

A: I love you, Bryce Michael Hall. I am so scared to get hurt again, but I feel like it so worth it. Waking up to you at the sway house this morning felt like a dream come true. I didn't realize how much I missed being in your arms. I want to be with you more than I wanted anything else. You are the one person with who I can be myself, who doesn't expect anything from me. I want to be able to walk up in your arms every morning. I want the kids to come running into our room waking us up on Christmas. I want us to go search for our house. I want to have more kids, and for you to experience everything. And lastly, I want to call you husband because you have always been the one and only person I've wanted to marry.
