After one bite, I nearly moan at how amazing it tastes. Allie is great at cooking, and I would hide the whole cake from everyone if I knew about it. I'm about to put another piece in my mouth, when Seb pulls my fork into his mouth with a pop and then releases it.

"Just wow." He grins. I notice he has Jake, who I smile at.

"Don't steal my cake." I wink at Seb.

He and Harley laugh. "Well, I have a way of getting us a whole month of cakes," Seb says with a grin.

“Not without your twin attempting to kill you,” Harley warns, making Seb laugh.

"How?" I grin back, and we start discussing our great plan. Seb explains about the bet he made with Allie. I love the fact that he will share the cakes with me if I help, like he had any chance of not sharing them with me in the first place.

"Your plan is evil and could really go wrong." Harley laughsat us.

"The best plans are always evil." I wink at him.

Jake starts crying, demanding a feed or nappy change.

"You two rest, I've got him," Harley says, taking Jake and walking to the bottle maker to put one on.

"Who knew he’d be so good with babies?" I whisper to Seb.

"It doesn't surprise me." Seb looks at Harley, with what I can only describe as respect. Even though Seb hasn’t gone into much detail about his growing up, I know Harley saved him a lot and made him the man he is today.

"Hey, sis." Izzy comes over, giving me a short hug. Blake is at her side holding her hand.

"Hey, I was going to ask you later, but would you be my bridesmaid?"

Before she can answer, Seb speaks up. "Blake, you’re my groomsman," he says, not really asking.

Blake grins, nodding as Izzy answers,"Yes, I can't wait."

I get another hug from her and nearly fall over as she smiles at me. Izzy may be a little small, but she is strong.

"Come on, baby, I want to show you something at home," Blake says, pulling Izzy back into his arms.

Izzy kisses Blake before turning back to us. "Got to go. I will be over tomorrow, if that’s okay?"she asks.

"Sounds good, sis," I say, causing her to smile widely.

"About time." Seb pulls me to him, kissing my cheek.

My phone goes off in the pocket of my stretchy jeans, and I see it’s my dad.

Dad: just checking you still want me over tomorrow. I don't want to get in your way but I can't wait to see my grandson and daughter x

Me: yes I want you over and I'm looking forward to introducing you, too. Plus I have some other news that I want your help with.

Dad: I will help with anything. Do you need me to bring anything over?

Me: No thanks, I'll see you tomorrow x

Dad: Can’t wait Maisy.

I glance up at Seb, who is chatting to Luke. I walk over, giving him a tight hug, and then kissing him deeply. He groans, pulling me away a bit.

"Not that I didn't enjoy that, but why?" He smirks at me.

"I'm just a lucky girl." I kiss him again, and, this time, he runs his hands into my hair. I am aware we are in a crowd, but I couldn't care less as I kiss the most amazing man I know.
