Two years have passed since they got married.

The couple got married in their backyard and only close family and friends attended the ceremony.

Zachs family did not attend even though he sent them an invitation.

The brunet didn't really mind though. Jacks family treated him like a son, so he was happy to at least have them.

The couple went on a honeymoon to Italy and brought several souvenirs for Belle and their family.

And after a long time of discussing it the couple made a big decision.

They adopted a child.

A child who was now fourteen years old.

That's right, the couple welcomed little Salem to their home on their second anniversary when she was only eight years old.

Of course Belle was more than happy to know she was getting a little sister.

The two were literal best-

"Salem! That's my shirt!" A sixteen year old Belle says loudly as she chases her little sister downstairs.

"It was your shirt!" The girl says cheekily...and runs into someone.

Zach.

The man aged very well.

He seemed like he was still in his early twenties.

His physique remained pretty much the same, though he was a bit more muscly.

"What's going on here?" He asks sternly.

"Salem stole my shirt!"

"No i didn't! I was borrowing it from you!"

"Mom, she totally stole my shirt!" Belle crosses her arms.

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you did!"

The two girls start bickering with each other.

"Annabelle Victoria and Salem Amelia Avery." Zach says sternly.

The two girls immediately shut up.

"What did I say about arguing?"

"You said not to because it can trigger dad."Belle says quietly.

"And what are you two doing?"

"Arguing." Salem looks down.

"Imagine if your dad wanted in. Salem is the shirt yours?"

"No...but I wanted to wear it today..."She pouts.

"Then talk to each other, communicate. There's no need to argue when you can just talk it out." Zach explains for the the one thousandth time.

"Sorry mom." The girls excuse themselves.

"You're forgiven. Now get ready for school...your dad is almost done with his shower."

They nod with their heads hanging low.

"I love you girlies."Zach says quietly.

The sisters hug.

"We love you too mamacita."They giggle.

"Don't butter me up missies. I'm already in a bad mood."

"What!?"

"Why?"
