" And they lived happily ever after!" 

I finished off the story , which was a typical princess fairytale, I looked over to my two beautiful girls , they were both fast asleep and cuddling with their stuffed bears. I got up from my chair and tiptoed over to Lilly first, I gave her a good night kiss on her soft left cheek , then I moved on to Daisy, I  gave her a kiss as well.

When I was about to leave the room, I thought both of them were asleep, I was surprised when  I heard Daisy calling me, " Mommy!" Hints of sleepiness shown in her voice, I smiled softly at her and went to sit by her side, I hugged her and said, "Yes dear."

She pointed towards the small lava lamp on the night stand between both of their beds, I forgot to turn it on, I chuckled quietly and shook my head, I can't believe I still forget to turn it on when I know that Daisy is afraid of the dark!

Daisy giggled too, she then quieted  down and looked deep in thought, I wonder what's occupying  her little head! I asked her what's wrong,  she looked at me as if debating with herself whether to tell me or just keep it to herself, I raised my eyebrow waiting for an answer.

" I read your book, mom!" She confessed, I wasn't really surprised since I knew both Lilly and Daisy were curious about the book I recently started writing.

"Daisy! I told you not to read it until it's done!" I crossed my arms showing her that I was serious.

"Sorry! But I was sooooo curious, I couldn't help myself!" She defended herself while emphasizing the 'So' and smiling innocently.

Oh who am I kidding? I can't stay mad at this cute little girl for more than 10 minutes!

"It's fine! But curiosity killed the cat, you know!" I exclaimed whilst wiggling my eyebrows making her laugh.

"Well, It's a good thing I'm not a cat then!" She said jokingly.

I stared at her in shock, my heart was about to burst, she is truly a daddy's girl. "Harry used to say that!" I whispered under my breath , she started laughing at her own joke and I soon  joined her.

"Well, if that's all, you can go to sleep now, dear!" I smiled and gently brushed her wavy brown hair with my hands, I tucked her in since she sat up while we were talking.

"Mom ... When I grow up I want to be like you in your fairytale!" She said dreamily, at first I was confused but then I realized she was talking about my book.

I kissed her forehead, then I walked towards the door and said softly, " But dear, it's not a  fairtytale!" When I turned around , she was already fast asleep.

I stood at the door just staring at my two amazing girls, they are 10 year old twins, my heart swelled with love and joy as I recounted giving birth to them, they were  so small , now look at them, they grow up so fast! A little too fast for my liking.

I gasped when I felt two hands wrap around me from behind, it took me by surprise but I , instantly, knew who it was ...
