Epilogue

Later that year, Calum and I both got accepted into the same university. Luna, Luke, and Ashton were there with us. Michael, Izzy, Avery went to a different college.

We both graduated, and I went along to be a counselor at school, because of my past, I wanted to help kids with their problems as well. Calum went to be a music teacher at the same school.

We got married in 2017. The wedding was exactly as we imagined it to be that first day of 2015. My dress was long, and stunning. Calum's dad walked me down the aisle. It was perfect.

We had our honeymoon at Bermuda for a week. It was beautiful. The hotel we stayed at was gorgeous, the beaches were stunning, and the romance was amazing.

Truth was, everything we imagined on January 1, 2015, came true. Our entire life fantasy came true.

On May 17, 2019, I gave birth to our first child, a little girl named Martha. She was exactly like my mother. She thought the same way, and did things the same way. She was also born a week after the 10 year anniversary of Mom's death. Maybe it happen like that, just because, but Calum thinks it's fate.

We moved to a small town near Sydney in August that same year.

In 2021, I gave birth to another little girl named Joy, after Calum's mum. She looked just like me. She had the same eyes I did, and the sane hair. But Joys smile screamed Calum.

And in 2024, Shane came along. He looked just like Calum did, with a soft black hair and beautiful brown eyes. Shane also made it his goal to be exactly like his father.

Just as we said we would, we raised Martha and Joy to be classy, and Shane to be a gentleman.

Now, you're probably wondering how the rest of group did in their lives. They did fine. Luna and Michael got married, with two girls. Luke and Avery eloped, due to Avery's parents disapproval of Luke. They now have three children. Isabella and Ashton also got married, but found out after three years of trying, that Izzy isn't capable of having kids. The couple was heartbroken, and for many months, Izzy blamed herself. But Ashton convinced her that it wasn't her fault, and that no matter what she did differently, they still wouldn't have kids. They adopted a brother and a sister from Africa.

After Calum's and I kids graduated college and got married, we worked for a few years, before retiring.

Just like we planned, we traveled the world.

After Cal and I got engaged, we started saving up for this. We managed to save up 50,000 dollars.

First, we traveled to all the places in Australia we haven't been yet. Perth, the Outback. We saw a koala (but weren't allowed to touch them) and kangaroos and it was so great.

Then, we decided, to go North up to Asia and head West. That means, start with Japan, and visit all the countries going West, as we got closer to Europe.

We visited Russia in Europe. We also visited Italy, and France. Germany and Austria were so beautiful. Great Britain was amazing, and the Irish really know how to have fun. Switzerland was so different than home, and Iceland was awesome. We managed to hit all these countries and a few more in three months.

After Europe, we went to Africa. It was great there. Every one was so nice, and we even visited the town in Nigeria that Ashton and Izzy adopted their kids from.

Following Africa was South America. We started in Brazil, and visited other places like Argentina and Chile.

The last continent on our list was North America. We headed North and started with Mexico. After that, just as planned, we visited every major city in America. Philadelphia, Boston, NYC, Miami, Houston, Vegas, LA, Seattle, Washington DC, Nashville, Chicago, so much more. We tried to spend as at least a week in every city. It took us eight months to finish everything. We were Texas alone for four weeks! After America, we went to Canada. We saw a total of fifteen hockey games in cities like Toronto.
