A/N: based on the song, beginning, middle and end :)

Beginning

"Bye mum!"

6 year old me called out, another normal day at school. I continuously waved my mum goodbye as she slowly disappeared out of sight.

"Hi Y/N!" I heard my friends greet and with that I quickly skipped over to the bag rack, put my bag down and made my way over to my friends to play.

After twenty minutes of playing time, the bell rang and my teacher called us to our tables.

"So class, today we have a new student. Please give a warm welcome to Vincent but he prefers it if you call him Vinnie," Mrs De Luca said with a warm tone.

"Hi Vinnie!" The class said in unison.

He waved shyly and the teacher quietly told him to take a seat next to me. I gave him a smile and he smiled back as he walked over.

"Hi, I'm Y/N. I think we're gonna be best friends!" I say confidently.

"I think so too," Vinnie replies. "You're very pretty," He finished with a confident smile.

"Hey Vinnie!" I exclaimed as I waved to him.

Prom night and my date was my best friend, Vinnie. We had stuck together all through elementary school and here we are at high school. A few arguments in between but we're still partners in crime.

"You look gorgeous!" Vinnie gushed, looking at me in awe.

"Ahhh! Our two babies!" Maria cheered.

Maria and my mum were huddled together looking at us adoringly. Nate stood there with the camera taking candid shots.

"Ok, quick photo before you two head off," Nate said as Vinnie and I pulled each other into a side hug and smiled.

(quick lil time skip)

Vinnie and I were swaying gently back and forth to the music. My eyes are gently shut, feeling completely safe in Vinnie's embrace.

"Will you be mine?" Vinnie let out a whisper.

I looked up at him with shock. Did he just...? A smile took over my face.

"I've been waiting for the past 12 years Vincent," I cheekily remarked. "but yes, I would love to."

He gave me a cheesy grin and he leaned in for a kiss. I kissed back and at this moment it felt like a movie.

"You're gorgeous," He said.

Middle

I was now 27 awaiting my first child, the devil decided 11pm was the perfect time to leave the womb. Vinnie was nervously pacing the room, his parents and my mum had caught the first available flight to LA just for this moment. Reggie and his girlfriend were catching the first flight tomorrow morning.

"You're 10cm, it's time to push," My midwife said excitedly.

Vinnie entered panic mode and I began pushing, wanting this human being out of me.

In between pushes, I called out to Vinnie, "Vincent Cole Hacker get your ass here!"

He quickly scurried to my side and I grabbed his hand. He pushed the loose strands of hair out of my face.

"Almost there, I see bubs head!" The midwife cheered.

"Ahhh!" I let a cry.

After one last big push, a cry was heard through the room.

"Dad, do you want to cut the umbilical cord?" She asks.

Vinnie cuts the umbilical cord and then the midwife places my little boy on my chest. Vinnie sits next to me with tears of joy in his eyes.

"He's beautiful," I softly say.

"What's the little fellas name?" The midwife asks.

I look at Vinnie for a second before saying, "Roman Keith Hacker"

Vinnie admired me before saying, "You're gorgeous."

—————————

I was laying back on the couch doing work on my laptop, when I heard little footsteps running down the hallway.

"Mummy!" Roman yells as he frantically runs to me.

He's now 7 years old and looks like my little twin.

"Save us, there's a monster chasing us!" My little 5 year old daughter, Mahalia, shouted while following behind her brother.

She looked so much like her dad. I quickly put my laptop down on the coffee table before my two babies jumped up next to me.

"Roar!" I heard Vinnie exclaim as he came down the hallway towards us.

The kids squealed and Vinnie picked up Roman and tickled him. Mahalia laid by my side cuddling up to me as she sucked her thumb. Vinnie put Roman down and he scurried off to his lego in the corner of the lounge room.

"Come play with me Lia," Roman said to his little sister.

She jumped off the couch and started building a lego house with Roman. Vinnie fell into the spot next to me and pulled me into him.

"You're gorgeous," He whispered and kissed my forehead and a cheesy grin spread across my face.

End

"You know, I don't think I've got a lot of time left," Vinnie croaked out.

We were sat together in our retirement home. The both of us now 86.

"Don't say that," I scolded him.

Our chairs were together and he reached over and he grasped my hand in his. We sat in a comfortable silence as we watched the plants outside sway in the breeze. Our grandchildren were now in there late twenties and our children now in there fifties. They visited regularly and always made us happy and cheerful. Vinnie's health was slowly going down due to his age but I know that if I lost him, I'd probably die from heartbreak. Vinnie looked at me and smiled, I smiled back.

"You're gorgeous," He said.

—————————

I went a year without my love. He passed away and I was left by myself. My kids never left my side and my grandchildren visited me every second day. My first great grand baby was born and my lovely granddaughter, Nova, named her baby boy, Vincent Cole. He's the cutest little thing. But even with all this company, after a year of losing the love of my life, it was my time to go and my family understood.

So here I was now sitting in the family home in the same chairs Vinnie and I sat in together, he was now by my side. However, our family couldn't see us but they knew that we are always watching over them, watching them grow, even if we are not around.

Vinnie's hand held mine firmly, a rush of happiness passed over me. He smiled at me like he used to when we were alive and he said, "You're gorgeous."

He truly was my beginning, my middle and my end.
