The Reason Behind Me

Chapter 7

Olivia's POV

"Say Mama." I said looking at the girls. 

Both of them stared at me blankly, chewing on the toys Mia and I just bought them. 

"Please?" I pouted, furrowing my eyebrows. 

"Ma..." Melena mumbled, "ma." 

"Mel! Did you just say Mama?" I asked, surprised. 

"Mama!" She squealed with delight.

"Mia!" I screamed, "Get over here!" 

"What?" She panicked, running into the room, "Did they get hurt?" 

"Mel just said Mama!" I exclaimed and Mia's lit up light a kid that had just seen Santa. 

"Are you sure it wasn't just her babbling something that sounded like Mama?" Mia asked, quirking her eyebrows. 

"I'll show it to you. Mel, say Mama." 

"'Mama!" Melena screeched with excitement, seemingly proud with her achievement. 

"Oh my god!" Mia said, sitting down next to me. 

"Mama!" Janelle babbled seconds after. 

"Mama!" They said in unison, both clapping their hands happily. 

"I can't believe it." Mia sniffed, tears whelming up in her eyes, "Our little baby daughters are all grown up."

"They can barely walk M’z." I chuckled at exaggeration, "But yeah, they're indeed growing up." I smiled, pecking Mia on the lips.

"Too fast for my liking." Mia admitted. 

"Well, that's a good thing since we're starting tour soon, it'll be easier for Dani to take care of them." I replied, wrapping my arm around Mia's waist. 

"Isn't Dani going home soon?" Mia asked. 

"Charlotte and her managed to persuade her parents into letting her live with us. I don't know how and why did she choose to stay but I know there's something fishy between the both of them." I said, snapping a picture of our baby girls interacting.

"I think they like each other," Mia thought out loud, "like a lot." 

"That's exactly what I thought." I agreed nodding my head. 

Amelia's POV

"Melia, Oli, Mia." Isabella whispered softly, "Come here!" She added, gesturing to us. 

"What's up?" Mia asked softly, shuffling over Isabella. 

"What do you think Charlotte and Dani's doing inside?" Isabella questioned, placing her ear against the door. 

"Probably sucking off each other's faces." I said rolling my eyes.

I've had a crush on Charlotte since I met her on X-Factor and when Dani arrived, I knew immediately that I've lost Charlotte to her. It's not like I've ever had her or anything, but my friendship with her is breaking apart, we're drifting away from each other. 

"Do you think we should test them out?" Olivia asked, smirking playfully, "M’z can pretend that a fire broke out whilst she's cooking. She'll scream and get their attention while we stand out here waiting." 

"Why me?" Mia whined, pouting her lips. 

"Because you tend to space out and have had countless minor kitchen accidents so having another cooking accident wouldn't be unusual." Olivia teased, wrapping her arms around Mia's waist and kissed her cheek. 

"Not fair." Mia complained, crossing her arms. 

Olivia whispered something into Mia's ear and Mia's eyes lit up instantly, nodding her head and as she smiled. I admired how the both of them could be so loving and cute at the same time, they have the dream relationship I've always wanted - with Charlotte. 

Olivia's POV

"Okay, one, two, three!" I said and Mia started screaming her head off, "The kitchen's on fire! The kitchen's on fire!" 

"What?!" We heard Charlotte shout, "Dani come on!" 

"Let me put on my shirt first!" Dani replied. 

"Your life's more important." Charlotte answered and opened the door with one hand, the other wrapped securely around Dani. 

Her lips were swollen, and her lipstick was smudged all over. Dani was in the same state and at that moment, we all knew what's going on between them. 

"What are you guys doing here? Mia just set the kitchen on fire!" Charlotte exclaimed, trying to get us down the stairs. 

"The kitchen's fine." Mia smirked. 

"What's going on?" Dani asked, looking around at us. 

"Were the both of you making out?" Isabella pointed at the smudge and swollen lips. 

"Uh no." Charlotte replied, gaining glares from all of us. 

"Maybe." She added and our glare intensified. 

"Alright, alright, we were making out." She gave in, throwing her arms up in surrender. 

"So, what have you guys got to tell us?" Mia said, pointing at the both of them. 

"We're dating." They huffed in unison, making us coo in response, except for Amelia, "The both of you are so cute together!" 

"Thanks guys." Dani grinned. 

"Melia, can I talk to you for a second?" 

"Yeah sure." She replied and I led Amelia out to the balcony, and she stared out into the skies. 

"Are you okay?" I asked, looking at her.

"Yeah I'm good." She sighed, "Just a little sad I guess." 

"Why did you look so upset when Charlotte and Dani came out as a couple just now?" I said, encouraging her to go on. 

"I... I think I l…like Charlotte."

Olivia's POV

"Pink or purple?" I mumbled, holding up two skirts in front of me. 

"What do you say girls?" Mia asked our two girls that are seating in the stroller.

"Pink!" "Purple!" They squealed clapping their hands.

"So, purple for Jan and pink for Mel." I smiled and pecked Mia on her lips, "I can't believe they can actually reply to our questions already. The last time I checked, they can barely ask for what they want." 

"Yeah." Mia chuckled in response, pushing the stroller as we walked, "Soon they'll be attending kindergarten, middle school, high school, college then university before we know it." 

"There you go again M’z," I chuckled, "they're barely three years old." 

"You'll never know how fast time can fly past." She pointed out, taking out her purse at the cashier.

"That's true." I sighed. 

Amelia's POV

It's been nearly two years since Dani and Charlotte came out as a couple and I'm still head over heels for Charlotte. 

Every time I see them kissing, hugging or holding hands, my heart breaks a little. I know I have to get over Charlotte before my heart really gets broken if she ever finds out and rejects me. 

Isabella have been really nice to me though, she's always there for me when I need someone to talk to, she's like my older sister that I never had. My heart tingles a little sometimes when we have private time together. ((A/N: Not that kind of private time you dirty minded people ((; you know what I mean)) She makes me laugh like no one else could when I'm upset or angry. Maybe, just maybe, I have a crush on her too? 

Isabella's POV

I know Amelia has been crushing on Charlotte and was really heart broken when Charlotte and Dani came out as a couple. Every day, I see her die a little and I try to cheer her up whenever I see her upset. I hate seeing her upset and I don't know why, my heart aches at that sight. 

We're going on a world tour soon; Dani will be coming along to help take care of Janelle and Melena. Those two little monsters are growing up really quickly and all of us are excited to get our careers back on track. We've been on hiatus for a year because of the toddlers but we have interviews every now and then, we also record a cover every two weeks. 

Olivia and Mia haven't talked about getting married yet, but they've been talking about how they want more children when Janelle and Melena are older.

Charlotte's POV

"Is everyone on the bus yet?" I asked, looking around the living area of the bus. 

"Camren and their babies aren't aboard yet." Isabella replied, her voice coming out of the bunk where Amelia and she is watching a movie. 

"Right." I nodded, looking around for my girl, "Dani?" 

"Hmm?" She hummed, her head popping out of her bunk, "What's up?" 

"The roof of the bus." I joked, "What are you doing?"

"Just sorting out my stuff." She replied, retreating back into her bunk. 

"Do you need help?" I asked. 

"I'll be eternally grateful." She answered, nodding her head frantically. 

"Okay." I laughed, walking over to her bunk. 

When she meant sorting out her stuff, she really did mean it. There're so many things on her bed. 

"Are you migrating somewhere or going on tour?" I teased, gaining a punch on the shoulder, "Shut up." 

"What's that?" I asked reaching out for the bag of things. 

"No!" 

I turned and opened the bag, revealing a bag of s*x toys, "Dildo and vibrators?" I smirked. 

"A girl has her needs okay?" She pouted and frown, snatching the bag away from me. 

"Yeah right." I teased, "You must be moaning my name every time you do that." 

"No, I don't." She denied, face turning red. 

"The great Camren is here!" Mia's voice boomed through the bus, followed by the giggles of Janelle and Melena. 

"Look who's finally here." Isabella said with sarcasm. 

"Janelle and Melena refused to leave the house." Mia explained, "And we were waiting for Taylor to pick up Faith." 

"Anyways, let's go Bryan!" ((That's the bus driver)) 

Mia's POV

"Jan and Mel shares a bunk and we each have our own." I said, placing Janelle and Melena on the lower bunk so they don't fall off. 

"Why can't we share one." Olivia pouted with her puppy eyes.

"We can if you want baby." I smiled, kissing her. 

"Let's cuddle and watch a movie tonight when the girls are asleep." Olivia suggested, leaning her head on my shoulder. 

"Okay." I agreed, nodding my head as I changed the girls into their pyjamas. 

"Alright, time to go to sleep." I said placing them horizontally on the bunk, so they don't roll off and since they're still small enough to fit in that way. 

"Goodnight lil monsters." We greeted, kissing their foreheads. 

"Night Mama, night Mami. I love you." They replied in unison. 

"We love you too mi hijas." We ruffled their hair and proceeded to our bunk, taking out our things and putting them in our drawers. 

"I can't believe back on tour after two years." Olivia sighed contently, "with two kids." 

"Yeah, I finally get to tour and have my own little family with you. My life is pretty much perfect now." I grinned, keeping the unneeded things under the bunk. 

"Mine's not quite yet." She replied, getting onto the bed. 

"Why?" I asked, quirking my head to the side quizzically. 

"Cause you're not my wife yet."

Olivia's POV

"Oh my god." I muttered the moment I stepped into the bathroom Mia and I share on the tour bus.

"What?" She asked, eyes opened with panic, "Do I look terrible?"

"You look the exact opposite." I replied, "Beautiful."

Mia blushed, turning away and continued putting her make up.

"Don't need make up, to cover up. Being the way that you are is enough." I sang softly into her ear, wrapping my arms around her waist.

"Is Ms Macpherson trying to charm me with her voice?" She joked.

"I don't even need to try," I smirked, "I know you're charmed without me trying."

"Proud much?" She smiled, pecking me on the lips.

"Very." I answered, taking her lips in mine.

I pulled her against me, my hand traveling up her waist to her back and to her hair, tangling my fingers in it.

"Ahem." Dani coughed, "Keep it appropriate for two-year-old’s." She said looking down at Janelle and Melena who's looking at us innocently.

"Sorry." I smiled apologetically, bending down to Janelle and Melena's eye level, "Who's all dressed up and ready for the party?"

"Me!" They squealed unison making my heart melt.

"You guys better listen to Aunt Dani later on, Mama will be busy." I instructed.

"Why?" Mia asked, "Are we getting interviewed during the party?"

"Nope." I replied, "You'll know later."

Mia's POV

We entered the room where the party was held and greeted everyone there. We're the host for the party and we invited a few lucky fans. Olivia suggested this idea and apparently, she said that she wanted to get to know our fans better, but this all seems suspicious to me though, the girls have been acting really weird. 

"Hi guys." Olivia's voice came through the PA system, "I'm Olivia and I'll be doing a cover of Loving You Is Easy by Union J." She added and nodded at the stage crew.

"We were lost in the middle. Like bottles in the ocean, but we found one another. Like the answer to a question. Like words to a love song. Like a river to the red sea. Finding you is so hard. But loving you is easy. Loving you is easy, loving you is easy. Finding you is so hard. Loving you is easy." She sang, all the while looking at me.

"I think I've finally found the one. Here's come the change. I think the change has just begun. I'm not the same I think I've finally found the one. Here's come the change. I think the change has just begun. I'm not the same. I think I've finally found the one." She stood up from the chair and walked towards me, taking my hand in hers.

"We were lost in the middle. Like bottles in the ocean. But we found one another. Like the answer to a question. Like words to a love song Like a river to the red sea. Finding you is so hard. But loving you is easy." She ended, taking out a small box from her pocket. 

"Mia, ever since I saw you on the beach, i knew you're different. A good kind of different of course." She smiled, "I remember Isabella telling me to be careful and not to get my heart broken again. And it didn't, because you took care of it and i knew you would from the day, we became official. I'm not proposing to you yet," She chuckled, "But here is a promise ring and one of the promises is that I'll love you forever and always. Our fans here, along with Isabella, Melia, Charlotte and Dani, and of course our two baby princesses will be our witnesses. Do you accept this ring M’z?" She asked, eyes full of hope. 

"Yes." I replied, eyes whelming with tears. 

She grinned and placed the ring on my finger before getting up and pulled me into a hug, "I love you M’z."

"I love you too." 

Amelia's POV

Olivia has been planning this day for a month and her hard work paid off. Mia and Olivia are promised to each other now with us as their witnesses. I can't wait for them to get married. 

"Melia." Isabella called.

"Yeah?"

"Can we talk?" She asked timidly.

"Sure." I smiled following after her.
