The song on the side is "All I've Ever Wanted". Thought it fit perfect for this last chapter :)

4 months after wedding......

I paced back and forth in the bathroom biting my fingernails waiting impatiently for the clock to hit its mark. I have been pacing the length of the bathroom for almost 5 minutes now and my nerves have skyrocketed in that amount of time. Why does the stupid box make you wait so damn long?! The whole time I have had to wait I thought back to Ashton and I's honeymoon and everything afterwards.

Ashton had surprised me with a trip to Barbados for our honeymoon the day after the wedding. He was so secretive about it that he didn't even let me pack my own bags, he got Kacey to do it. The moment we landed I jumped in his arms remembering months before that we were talking about places we wanted to visit. I had said somewhere like Hawaii or Barbados since I've never been to a beach outside of New York.

To say the honeymoon was great was not even close, it was incredible. Ashton and I spent the first 2 days inside the hotel room, him not letting me out of the room not even food; that was delivered to us. Finally on the 3rd day we left the hotel and walked around the shops down the street trying to find stuff to bring back for Kacey, Nick, Neena, Liam, Ariel and Alex. I promised would find something whether it be a snow globe or shirt. We lounged on the beach for hours and had some of the best food I have ever eaten. Ashton even got me to try seafood which wasn't as bad as I thought.

We spent about a week an a half there before we had to leave. Work kept calling Ashton a few days before we left and I could tell he was getting anxious to get back to work, wanting to make sure everything was going good. When we left I had a great tan, and even more in love with Ashton than I ever thought possible.

He has changed so much from the guy I met over a year ago. He was more outgoing, affectionate, lively; basically the total opposite of what he use to be. Of course at work he was still strict but no to bad with me, thankfully. Even though sometimes he acted the way he use to he soon came to realize it apologizing. Allie had broken him almost beyond compare but over the last year I could see his blue eyes starting to shine again and he smiled more than he frowned.

Now as I paced the bathroom I couldn't help but wonder what he is going to do. Is he going to be angry? Is he not going to still want me? I knew these thoughts were probably stupid but I still couldn't help but think them. Yes Ashton loved me and I him but what will he think if this test shows positive? Were we even ready?

Yes as you already guessed I am taking a pregnancy test. It has been to long not having my period than I was use to, and I've thrown up two days in a row. I tried to think of when we didn't use protection weeks ago but I couldn't think of any. I mean its not like I don't want children because I do and I have even been thinking about it lately but now that I am waiting for the results I was nervous. Ashton and I just got married a few months ago and he was busy with work as was I. Layla just see what the test says before even thinking anything. For all you know it could be negative. The clock hit the 10 minutes I had to wait and I took a shaky breath before reaching for the stick. Okay this is it. I looked down and took a deep breath.

"Babe I'm home!" Ashton yelled from downstairs. I briefly heard him or his steps as he came towards the bedroom. I stared down at the pregnancy test frozen. "Layla?" He called out again. "There you are." He came into the bathroom and walking towards me. "What are you doing?"

I looked up at him my mouth wide open and my eyes.

"Layla are you okay?" He asked concerned now, he still hadn't noticed the test in my hands.

"I-I uh..." Swallowing I forced out the words from my dry throat. "I'm pregnant." As soon as the words left my mouth silence surrounded us and Ashton stared at me.

"What did you just say?" Now that my own shock was starting to die down a little I was now concerned about Ashton's reaction. He stared at me in shock his own expression matching mine just moments ago.

"I'm pregnant." With him not saying anything the thought that he didn't want children ran through my head. "Ash please say something." I pleaded.

"Y-your pregnant." Ashton said it more of a statement than a question. He was staring blankly off to nowhere. He doesn't want children. I thought as a wave of sadness washed over me. The thought of Ashton not wanting a child with me cut me to the core. My hand moved to my flat stomach almost like I could already fill the baby inside. I was just about to turn away fighting back tears when Ashton suddenly grinned widely and practically yelled.

"Your pregnant!" He yelled coming at me and lifting my feet of the ground twirling me around. Once he had set me back on my feet I looked up at him.

"Your not mad or scared?" I asked.

"Why would I be? Your going to be having our child." He grinned at me. "I've always wanted children."

"You have?"

"Of course and having one with you is all I could ever want." I smiled back at him wrapping me arms around his waist and snuggling my head into his chest, his big arms wrapping around my own waist.

"We are going to have a baby." I whispered to myself.

After we stood there forever in the bathroom wrapped around one another we finally pulled apart.

"We need to get you a doctors appointment before we tell anyone." Ashton said exactly what I was thinking. I nodded along. I didn't want to tell anyone before we were a 100% sure I was pregnant and how far along I was. I knew the moment anyone heard about this they would go crazy; especially Kacey and Ashton's mom. "I'll call the best OBGYN in the city and made an appointment as soon as possible."

"Okay yeah." Ashton's hands worked their way down to my stomach before laying them there. I smiled up at him happy knowing he wasn't freaked out.

The next few days were hectic. Just 2 days after finding out I was pregnant Ashton called the best OBGYN in the city and I got an appointment later in the afternoon. Even though I told Ashton he could stay at work and I'll just go he wouldn't have it. While the doctor did the exam, it was very very uncomfortable I might add especially with Ashton in the room since he wouldn't leave my side, she asked me a million questions. After the exam she came back with the results and I was 100% pregnant, almost 2 months to be exact; my due date was set for April 27th. She was fairly surprised that I hadn't experienced any morning sickness sooner than I had or any other symptoms. I was just as surprised but I couldn't be happier. We set up multiple appointments for the next few months to check up on my progress. Ashton wanted me to go almost every other week but with a firm no he let up a little.

As we drove home that day we decided we would tell everyone at the same time instead of separately. The rest of the week went by fairly quickly as I invited everyone over to our place this weekend and I was busy at work. I wasn't at all that far along but Ashton was already treating me like I was fragile. He even tried to get me to stop working. I appreciated the concern but right now I was fine, I still had a long way to go. After arguing with him about working and treating me like I was fragile he agreed to tone it down some, but he made me promise that when it got closer to my due date I will stop working.

The weekend finally came and all of Ashton's family was there, Nick included, as well as all of my friends; Kacey, Neena, Liam, and Alex. I had thought about telling them in a cool fun way but I wasn't the greatest at doing that and it was to much work. Instead Ashton and I decided to sit them all down and tell them straight forward. I was in the kitchen finishing putting some crackers, cheese, and different kinds of meat on a tray when Ashton scared me by wrapping his arms around my middle and resting his head on my shoulder.

"You ready?" He asked pressing a soft kiss to my bare shoulder. I had bought a cute sundress a couple of months ago and decided that since I won't be able to fit into it soon I might as well wear it today even if it isn't that warm outside.

"I think so. Do you want to say or it me?" I asked turning my head in his direction.

"I don't care. Whoever just wants to say it first when we get out there. It's going to be okay." He said before pulling away from me. Grabbing the tray I stood on my tippy toes giving him a small kiss before leaving the kitchen Ashton on my heels. As I came to the living room everyone was talking to one another smiling. Setting the food on the coffee table I took a step back relaxing a little as Ashton wrapped and arm around my waist and pulling me to him.

"Everyone." I said first getting everyone attention. Once everyone's eyes were on us I froze suddenly nervous. Biting my bottom lip I looked up at Ash and he nodded down at me.

"We have some exciting news...Layla is pregnant." Ashton said. We stood there in silence as everyone took in what he just said. The first person to say anything was Kacey who jumped up yelling.

"I told ya so! You owe me 20 bucks!" She said yelling down at Nick, Alex and Liam. I stared at her confused but the sound of a sob made me turn my gaze to Ashton's mother. She stood up and all but ran towards us engulfing me in a huge hug.

"Your pregnant! I'm going to be a grandma!" She practically sobbed. I've never seen Clare like this, usually she's the calm one.

"Congratulations son." I heard Ashton's father say to him but I couldn't see over Clare. "Honey let you go she can't breathe." He said pulling his wife off of me.

"Oh honey I am sorry that can't be good for the baby!"

"No no Clare it's okay." I said smiling at her. Kacey pushed her way through everyone before flying at me almost making me fall.

"YOUR PREGNANT!" She yelled in my ear. She was hopping around while hugging the life out of me.

"Kay babe she just said she is." Nick said coming up to us. Him and Ashton did their man hug thing Nick congratulating him. When Kacey wouldn't let me go I looked over her shoulder to Nick for some help. He wrapped his arm around her waist and had to yank her off of me. "Babe others want to hug her too." He said to a squirming Kacey in his arms.

"Congrats Layla." Neena said hugging me for a minute than stepping back.

"Thank you." I beamed at her.

"Seriously Lay congrats. Your going to make a great mom." Liam said coming up behind Neena and giving me a side hug. They moved on towards Ashton as Ariel and Alex came towards me.

"Layla!" Ariel exclaimed enveloping me in a hug like everyone else. "You and my brother are going to make a gorgeous baby." She said pulling away from me so Alex could hug me.

"You guys really will." Alex agreed smiling at me.

"Thank you guys!" Once everyone had hugged Ashton and I and said congrats I turned to Kacey not having forgotten about her earlier outburst.

"Kacey what did you mean 'You owe me 20 bucks'?" I asked.

"When you guys were on your honeymoon I made a bet with the boys that you would be pregnant 4 months later, and I WON BABY!" She yelled.

"You bet on us getting pregnant?" Ashton asked looking at her and the boys.

"Hey its not my fault! It was her idea!" Liam said holding his hands out.

"What did you guys bet then?" I asked him, Alex, and Nick.

"Well I said once you get back you'll be pregnant." Nick said. "Liam said in 2 months, and Alex bet 6 months. Kacey said 4 so she won 20$ from all of us."

"You two didn't bet?" I turned to Neena and Ariel.

"Well...." Neena started looking guilty. "I kind of went with Liam's bet and Ariel went with Alex so technically we did." I shook my head at my friends. Of course they would bet on us.

"I said 5 months." John, Ashton's father, butted in suddenly. I turned to him wide mouth. Did everyone bet!?

"Dad!" Ashton said.

"Sorry son I over heard these kids talking and decided to add in too." He said with a shrug and a grin. Although Ashton's father is in his 50's he still acts like a 20 year old. So out of everyone here Ashton's mom was the only person who didn't bet on us.

The rest of the day went by fairly quickly as Clare talked about everything we will need for the baby and how she planned on decorating a room for it too. After John calmed her down from her baby high we spent the rest of the day talking and visiting.

The next few months flew by in a blur as I worked, went to doctor appointments, and our new move. About a month or so into my pregnancy Ashton came home from work saying we should get a house instead of raising the baby in an apartment. The idea of having an actually house was nice since I was starting to think the same thing about raising a child here. With both of us on board with the idea we starting looking around at houses a little bit away from the city but not to far where Ashton or I would have to commute to far to work. 2 weeks later an real-estate agent was showing us a gorgeous 2 story with a big back yard that had a pool. It had 4 rooms and 3 1/2 baths, so Ashton could have a home office. The moment I stepped through the front door I knew this was the house. Ashton loving it too we put a bid on it and a 2 days later we got it. It was in a nice neighborhood where the people seemed nice.

A few weeks after we told everyone somehow the newspaper and magazines caught wind I was pregnant splashing the news on the front page. Some making up stuff about how the baby wasn't Ashton but some foreign guys. Of course just like when me and Ashton got together things slowly died down and more important news came up instead of the millionaire having a baby.

After being 18 weeks along Ash and I went to our doctor appointment knowing we could see if we were having a boy or a girl. We had discussed not finding out and waiting until he/she was born but as we drove to the doctors office we decided, well I decided, I wanted to know today. As the doctor took the ultrasound and we heard the heartbeat I squeezed Ashton's hand. Even though I have heard the heartbeat plenty of times every time I did my heart would speed up. As the time came to know the sex Ashton and I looked at one another before nodding, we wanted to know. I am proud to say we are going to be having a little boy! Ashton was over the moon after finding out we were going to have a boy, and in his own words 'I will have a son to throw a football with and go to fishing!' I was just as excited as Ashton and couldn't wait to see him.

Nearing the 5 month I really started to show and none of my clothes fit. Ashton found me one day crying in the middle of the closet surrounded by clothes. I cried that none of them fit me and then when he said we can go shopping for new clothes I got mad at him yelling that he thought I was fat. Yep pregnancy hormones were in affect. Ashton bless his heart has been a good sport knowing what I was going through and not taking most of it to heart.

He has been great especially when at 9 o'clock at night I wanted chicken nuggets from McDonalds and he went straight out and got some. Whenever I craved something he was there to help. I tried being helpful when I could and when my hormones started to die down I bawled on him apologizing for my behavior.

One night while Ashton was still at work I was sitting on the couch when I a thought entered my mind. What if I'm just like my parents?! What if whatever made them hurt me seeped into me and I'd do that to my son? I was a bawling mess when Ashton got home and I could barely tell him what was wrong when he asked. When I told him my fears of becoming my parents he gripped my chin in a tight grip forcing me to stare into his blue eyes.

"You are nothing like your parents. You are not going to hurt your son because that is not you. Your parents were messed up, your not. Whatever happened to make them the way they were has nothing to do with you and it never will be. Layla you are going to be a great mother." He told me fiercely. I kissed him hard after that and hung onto him for dear life. I knew he was right but the thoughts sometimes still entered my mind.

I finally only had less than a month left and Ashton forced me to stop working and stay home. I spent most of my days reading pregnancy books, hanging out with Kacey when I could as well as Ashton's mom, and eating. Everything was ready for when the baby came. His room was decorated, thanks to Clare, the walls a blue color, a crib in one corner and a rocking chair in another. We had clothes from my baby shower in a dresser on one side and toys in a basket on the other. By the front door we had a bag that had everything we would need whenever I went into labor, so we could just pick it up and be on our way to the hospital.

It was 5 o'clock and Ashton walked through the door as usual. I waddle over to him like a penguin giving him a kiss on the lips.

"Something smells good." He said taking off his suit jacket and setting it on the back of the couch.

"Thanks I just finished dinner." I said grinning and waddling back to the kitchen. I dished out the food on our plates and set them on the table. Ashton grabbed the silver wear for me and I reached up for the cups. Just as I extended my arm I felt a flash of pain and wetness down my legs.

"Hey honey need some help with that?" Ashton asked behind me. I turned with wide eyes at him.

"My water just broke." I got out. In a split second Ashton was right in front of me his eyes wide.

"Wait what?! Are you sure?!" He asked his voice panicky.

"No I just like to get myself wet on purpose." I couldn't help but say sarcastically. He rolled his eyes but reached for me arm.

"We have to get you to the hospital!" He gently lead me out of the kitchen, not even bothering with our food on the table, and grabbed the bag. "We are going to have our baby." He said opening the door and turning to me.

"We are." I said my eyes tearing up. He leaned down a kissed me before leading me outside and to the car. In just minutes we were flying down the road to the hospital him calling everyone. This was it I was going to have my son.

3 years later....

"Luke be careful!" I yelled at my 3 year old son while putting down the plate full of hamburgers on the table outside.

"Luke I'm coming for you!!" Liam yelled bounding after my son towards the pool. I shook my head at him but smiled. We were having everyone over for a barbecue today for my 27th birthday and Ashton 29th. Since we were born only a fews weeks apart from one another we decided to celebrate it together this year.

These past 3 years were the greatest years of my life so far. After giving birth to Luke on April 19th everything in my life changed once again. I quit being Ashton's PA and started working on writing my own book which is now out and has sold over a million copies. Ashton still runs his fathers business but lets a lot of the board members help so he could be home with me and Luke. About a year after having Luke I found out I was pregnant again this time with a girl, little miss Carter Miller. She is the light of my life.

"Mommy!" I heard Carter say my name. I turned and grinned as my husband walked towards me with my 2 year old daughter in his arms. Ashton doesn't like to admit it but Carter has him wrapped around her little finger. Anything she wanted he did even if that meant dressing up in a princess dress and having tea. He denied that he ever did that but with the photo I took it was hard to deny. While Luke looked exactly like his dad Carter took a little more after me. Luke was more loud and outgoing, while Carter was a little more shy and reserved. Both of my kids had brown hair but Luke had my grey eyes while Carter had Ashton bright blue ones. Both were going to be little heartbreakers just like their father was.

"Hey baby." I pulled her out of Ashton's arms and into mine. "Did you help daddy answer the door?"

"Ywes! Auntie Kay is here!" I kissed the top of her head before setting her down as she ran towards where Luke was wrestling Liam on the grass.

"Move people! Fat pregnant woman coming through!" I heard Kacey before seeing her. I grinned as she wobbled over towards me. She was 8 months pregnant with her second child, who they already named Elizabeth. Nick was right behind her carrying their adorable 2 year daughter, Macey, in his arms.

"Hey Kay." I said giving her a hug. "How are you?"

"Ready to pop." She replied but grinned at me. "Where's my favorite nephew?" She called out.

"On the lawn tackling Liam." I laughed. She made her way towards Luke as I hugged Nick.

"Macey!" I said grabbing her as she reached out for me. She had light brown hair a mix of Nick and Kacey's hair color, and green eyes she got from her father. After I had Luke, Nick and Kacey got married and not soon after were pregnant with Macey. Only 2 months after I had Carter, Macey was born. Just as Carter had Ashton around her finger so did Macey. Nick loved his daughter and did practically whatever she wanted. At the age of 27 Kacey was working as the head designer at Vogue and Nick still ran his million dollar technology business.

I only held Macey a few minutes before Carter came running over wanting to play with her. Since they were the same age they were the best of friends, just like Kacey and I. I looked over and saw Kacey sitting next to Neena who was holding her 1 year old son, Mason.

Neena and Liam got married later than Kacey and I. They got married 2 years ago and got pregnant with Mason a little while later. They were more slow at starting a family besides me and Kacey. Their son Mason took after Liam so much it was almost uncanny. He had blonde hair and bright blue eyes just like both parents. Neena doesn't work at Miller Industries instead now she works with Ashton's mother as a wedding designer, mostly designing wedding gowns. Liam now worked at Nick's company helping him come up with new gadgets every month or so.

Our doorbell rang again so I went inside and opened it revealing Alex, Ariel, Ashton's, and Kacey's parents. Giving Clare, John, Quinn, and Mark hugs they all went out back to say hi to everyone and their grandchildren. Wrapped in Ariel's arm was their new born son, Zach. These 2 dated for 2 years before Alex finally proposed and they got married. They just barely had their first child 3 months ago.

"Hey guys." I said smiling down as Zach looked up at me. Even though he was only 3 months old he looked just like Alex. "Everyone's out back." I said gesturing behind me. As they walked outside with everyone else I shut the front door and followed.

I stood in the door way watching as Nick picked up Luke throwing him into the pool. Carter was off in the grass with Macey playing with their dolls and having a good time. Neena and Kacey stood around Ariel looking at Zach and making faces at him. John sat at the table talking to Liam and Alex, while Clare played with Mason. Quinn was sitting next to Clare talking with her, and Mark was laughing with Nick while my husband stood beside the pool grinning over at Luke egging him on to get Nick in the water.

I smiled as I looked at everyone having a great time. When I was younger I wanted a family just like this and now I have one. I have 2 amazing children and an equally amazing husband who stands by my side. I had 2 great in-laws, 3 best girl friends and 3 guys friends who have come to mean everything to me. Having Kacey's parents in my life just made everything tie together. This is everything I have ever wanted since I was little.

"What are you thinking about babe?" Ashton's asked as he stepped in front of me winding his arms around my waist as I wrapped mine around his neck.

"I'm thinking about how perfect my life is. This is everything I have ever wanted."

"Me too. You are everything I have ever wanted." He leaned down and kissed me. I kissed him back than turned us around leaning against him.

I stared out to my backyard smiling at everyone I love and knowing my life has turned out EXACTLY how I wanted it and I wouldn't change it for anything.

THE END!!!

That is the very last chapter of "Something Inside"! I want to say a quick sorry that the info about Layla being pregnant is not correct. I have never been pregnant, that would involved someone actually liking me, so I don't know if any of it is correct! I am kind of going off of the internet, my mom, and tv.

I want to thank you all for always encouraging me to write and telling me how much you love this book. Without that this book wouldn't be this far or this many reads. You guys mean the world to me!!!

I am starting to think about publishing this book since it is now finished. I don't know who would read it if I did but i'm thinking I might as well try :) If I do get it published I will let you know so you guys can go get it!
