Dylan's pov-
(Ava's wedding gown in the pic)

Today I'm marrying Ava.I don't know how I feel right now.... every one thinks I hate her....but do I????

I'm telling myself this thing since these last four years.Hell I even told her that I hate her.I want to but I just can't.She is all I want.I searched for her everywhere when she left.After finally one year...I found her but my pride got the better of me.

Me being the stupid assh*le kept myself here in New York pretending to hate her when all I feel is exactly the opposite.

The truth is I want to know why did she leave.Does she not love me enough?but I know that's completely absurd.Even a blind person can tell she loves me.She always has.Still does.

The miscarriage had a very drastic effect on me.I was devastated.I hadn't really moved on after our first daughter's demise and then I lost my sister.My sweetheart had a miscarriage...Our baby.We lost our kid again.Little did I know there was big surprise waiting for me.

When I saw the twins...I was so angry.Angry at myself.Angry at Ava.Why did she not tell me.She just escaped.Left me to endure everything alone.

I know it wasn't exactly her fault.After the miscarriage I didn't know how to face her.If only I hadn't blamed then all this wouldn't have happened.

Our third baby would have been alive too.

I became distant from her and started spending my time with Amber to keep myself from everything.I know it was wrong.Ava needed me the most but I was ashamed of myself.Amber was having problems with Jason so I found an excuse to be a coward but it was just twice.Not more than that.All the time was actually spent near Rachael's grave.

When I finally realised my mistake one day.I ran to her.My darling ....but it was too late...she was gone already.

After that day...I became like a workaholic zombie.I did not talk to anyone in my family.They knew I was not strong enough to discuss about that.

I made everyone believe I hated her.But I didn't.I love her more than my life.She's my lifeline.

When I saw her in the mall.I wanted to kiss her,hug her,i Just didn't want to let her go.So I did what I thought was the best...which I know wasn't exactly the best.

I blackmailed her into marrying me.The god knows I want her. And with the kids . They are my kids man!how can I ever let them go.I can never.She's mine,the mother of my kids,my soon to be wife,my life.

I have specifically told everyone in our families not to bother her about the past.I will find out eventually why she left.My Ava won't leave me willingly.I know that.

I know she's very upset right now.But it won't be long when that gorgeous face will hold the breath taking smile that I love.I'll make sure of that.It's just that I'm angry that she left...

And.... Amber.Well I told her not not to be near Ava.I know what ever happened in the past was something related to her.I Just didn't know what.I don't really talk to her now.

Scott can't come to my wedding.. he's stuck in London with his mother's new husband.He really has a crazy family.His step father just went broke so he went to help him with his family business.For his mother's sake.

Plus it is all too sudden so when I informed him about this he went into mental trauma.Poor guy.

He will meet us directly in Newyork during our wedding party because this wedding is a private affair including only family and close relatives.

So our parents decided to throw a party to announce our wedding.

I am excited for this wedding.I bought everything of Ava's choice.I remember her staring at gowns in her sister in law's Nicole's wedding magazine when they were planning their wedding.

She thought I was not watching her.When she went out of the room, I tore that specific page which had that gown.I've had that ever since.That's her wedding gown.

I love her so much.I just hope I can do it.I have so many questions about our past.But not for today.It's our wedding.. not today.

"Hey son...you done?"It was dad.
I smiled.
"Yeah dad.."

"You know I never thought this day would ever come.I mean when she went away you were so devastated.I just want both of you to be happy.This marriage is so sudden.i hope you know what you both are doing.Oh man!!I haven't even met my grandsons...i'm so excited to see them."He said.

I laughed.

"Yes dad you will see them soon.I'm know they are very very excited to meet you all.They are so full of life.I..I don't know dad..the feeling is incredible."

I looked to see my dad smiling at me.

"You know when you were born.I was so happy that I didn't want anyone to even take you from us.You were my first born.When I held you for the first time and you held my finger..I knew I was done for.And now look at you... talking about your own sons... I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks dad."I smiled and hugged him.This was a rare gesture.I wasn't really affectionate with anyone during these years.

"Oh my baby is looking so handsome.You've grown up so much.Oh I'm so happy."This was mom.

She practically pushed dad and hugged me.

" Mom.Stop crying now."

"Yeah Skylar stop being a drama queen.I hope Zoe doesn't get her grandmother's attitude."Dad said.

Mom scowled and glared at him.We just laughed.

"Is Zoe with Ava?"She asked me.
"Yeah..she is.Ava is really attached to her.Its only one day and she's acting all Mama bear on her."I said with a smile.

"Of course she is.Ava is the nicest girl I've ever met.I am glad you are getting back together.I missed her Dyl...i did.I don't know what the truth is but I trust you both."

If only she knew.I'm blackmailing her.I know I'm an assh*le but I can't think of anything else.I'm pathetic I know but I will make her the happiest person on this planet.Her,our kids and Zoe.

I also have to tell her another thing.Zoe is mine but not exactly in the natural way. I hired a surrogate.Artificial Insemination.Donated eggs did their work.Even my surrogate was not her biological mother.She died during child birth.It's insane how much she looks like me but the same case is with the twins too.They are my carbon copies.I love my kids so much.

The truth is I've been almost celibate all these years.I mean I slept with few girls but it didn't feel right.They were not Ava.All the sleeping around happened during the first year.I was so angry and totally out of control.It all stopped eventually.I missed my Ava so much.I couldn't do that anymore.I just couldn't.

It was time to go to the wedding venue.I am nervous.I don't know how Ava must be coping now..I hope her folks are not pestering her with uncomfortable questions.

Ava's pov-

I just stared at myself in the mirror.I admit I look good but I can't bring myself to smile.The wedding gown..I loved it.It was the same gown that I...can it be.No.

Dylan won't do anything so special for me.. Atleast not yet.He hates me at the moment.It's just a coincidence.Lucky me.I love it.

"You look so beautiful darling..so so beautiful.It's been so long since I saw my baby girl.These years have been hard."Mom said and started crying.

My heart broke.Mamma.
"Mom..I missed you too..so so much.Whenever I was feeling lonely I used to think about you,dad and Jake.I knew it mom that I had to be strong for my kids just like you were for me"I said and hugged her.

"Oh enough of the crying.I can't believe it Aves.The last time I saw you was four years ago and now you are here getting married and are the mother of two super adorable kids who btw are very very hard to handle.I swear Jake is going crazy outside."Nicole said.

I laughed.

"Oh well..they take after their mother.She was very naughty as a child and from what I know about Dylan.He was an A- grade prankster so it's too obvious for them to take after that."

It was dad this time.

"You look vibrant sweetheart.. isn't she darling?"Dad asked mom.

"Of course she is.She's the most beautiful girl in the world.Our baby girl."Mom said.

Well of course she will say that.I am her daughter.

"Guys.. sis..come on..Brandon called me.They have arrived.Lets go and sis you are looking gorgeous. Dad,Nikki please handle these monsters. I don't think I can take it for a long time."Jake almost whined.

We all laughed at him.

"Ava,I want to give you some thing."Jake said.

I looked at Nikki.She just smiled.

"I know mom gave you your something blue but..I have something for you.It was for you baby sis.I can't believe you are getting married.It was grandma's.She gave it to me to give it to my daughter but I know this belongs to you."He said.

I can't believe he was about to cry.My protective,tough as hell brother.

I started crying and hugged him.

It was a very beautiful blue braclet.So beautiful.

"Thank you Bro"

"Hey enough with the water works.Thank god your makeup is water proof."

Kelsey.

Little Elise was with her and Vanessa,Jake's daughter.She is a splitting image of Nikki I swear.They both looked so cute.

Thinking about cute,I carried my lil Zoe with me.She's sleeping.Aww..my angel.

"Mommy you look so nice... like a princess."It was Jase.

"Yes..Mommy you look gorgi..ugh.. something"Jerry said with a blush.

We all laughed.

"It's gorgeous baby.And you both.. my little daredevils are looking totally handsome.My little gentlemen."

They smiled and did their happy dance.My boys are really excited for this wedding ...if only it was for real.

"Aunty don't I look good too?"Vanessa asked with a pout.

Awww.

"Oh sweetie you look like a Barbie doll.Why would you not?You are a little doll"

She smiled.

Everyone was so happy.Dad and Jake were already at the venue with Kelsey and Mom.

Nikki and me were going along with the kids.

"Are you happy Ava?"

Nikki asked all of a sudden.

I didn't know what to say.I am happy but..I don't know.

"Of course I am."

"Oh.."
She kept quite after that.Thank god she did not ask anything further.

I didn't have any answers.

We finally arrived.I was nervous now.My stomach was doing flips.

"Oh my!!you look so beautiful.I missed you so much.Dylan is so lucky.I could not have asked for a better wife for my son.My daughter."

It was Skylar.She looked lovely in her red gown.

I smiled.

"Ava my grandsons are totally super cute.Thank you darling."

"Wait till you actually know them."I laughed.

"Oh don't worry. I'll spoil them rotten.Now let me take Zoe.It's time for you to take your trip down the aisle."

Dad was on my side.

Dylan was at the altar.He was so looking so hot.My sons were with him there.It's scary how much they all look alike and the identical get up is not helping.Skylar's idea of course.I don't mind.My kids look super adorable and Dylan is ugh... handsome as ever.

If only this situation was different.This was not a marriage but a blackmail ,still I don't know why but it felt so real to me.I still love him..I think that's why.

But I am determined to make this work.

"Ava baby doll..you know I will always be there with you.I love you so much angel."

Oh Daddy.

Dylan was looking at me so intensely that I was starting to feel conscious.

This is the most important day of anyone's life.For me.. i don't know.

"I won't be that bad of a husband."Dylan whispered.

Of course he won't be.I snorted in response.

He just smirked.Jerk.

The priest had started the ceremony.

After reciting our vows and exchanging the rings that by the way are beautiful.My wedding ring is something to look at.

(The Ezria engagement ring from Pll... it's Lucy Hale after all😍😍)

It was finally the time to kiss.

I didn't know how..kiss him! I can't..it will bring back so many memories.

My thoughts were interrupted when Dylan suddenly pulled me and smashed his lips on mine.It was supposed to be a peck but it grew into a passionate full blown hardcore one.Oh my.

Someone cover my kids eyes!

He finally let me go.

The crowd was whistling and cheering.

I looked down blushing hard.He can still turn me into liquid.

Our parents had tears in their eyes while Jake ,Nikki,Brandon and Elsa along with our kids cheered loudly.Even little Zoe was giggling.

This is a sight to behold.My family.I missed them so much.

I looked beside to see my jerk of a husband smirking.

Blockhead!..

It's official now.I am Mrs Avalon Grace Vanderbilt and this is the start of my new journey.

Watch it hubby.

Oh god,..they are married.Yay.And Dylan!!!he gave us a surprise.He actually loves her... wow.

But he doesn't know why she left..but he told her to leave.. right?

Oomph..it looks like there are more secrets to be unfolded.
