Epilogue

March 10th, 2021

Max sat in the library of her house, writing on her laptop. El walked in with a giant baby bump. "Baby number seven seems like it's ready to pop. Max, when did we decide to have so many kids?"

"When we found out how adorable they are."

"But they're a handful!"

"Come on darling, don't you worry! It'll all be worth it one day."

"We're thirty and still having kids!"

"And? Just seventy more years until we're a hundred!"

"And what does that have to do with anything?"

"Dunno, just fun saying it!"

"You are such a dork."

"But I'm your dork!"

"Yeah yeah."

A small four year old girl ran over to Max with her tiny skateboard. "Mommy mommy! Can we go play?"

"Of course we can baby girl," the redhead said as she stood up and picked up her daughter. El smiled at them. The three walked outside. El sat on a lawn chair watching her child and wife skate around together. She chuckled as she recorded them on her new smartphone.

The two skated around for hours while El went inside to make them lunch. She made mini cheese burgers and fries, getting chocolate milk for her girls. The rest of their kids were out with their friends.

"Girls! Lunch!" Max picked up her daughter, running inside the house. The small girl giggled as she held onto her mom for dear life. "Too fast mommy! I was gonna die!" She gasped dramatically. El chuckled, "she's just like her mom."

The three sat at the table eating lunch. Their daughter was rambling on about what happened at preschool. El just laughed at Max drinking her chocolate milk. The girl stated at her with an unamused look.

"What's so funny?"

"You've loved that ever since we were kids! Sometimes I wonder if you love it more than me!"

"I could never!"

"Thanks honey, I lo-"

"I was talking about the chocolate milk."

Both girls started laughing as they shared a sweet kiss. "Ew! No mommy! Bad! Not when I'm eating!"

Max pulled away from the kiss, tickling her daughters sides. "Hey! You little cock block! I was gonna get some tonight!"

"Max!"

"Mommy! I wanna be an airplane!"

"I think mommy's getting a little too old to do airplane."

"Please, one time?"

"Fine!" Max picked up her daughter by her stomach and started to run around carrying her. The small girl put her arms out. "Weeeee!"

El smiled warmly staring at the little family she had. She would go to the upside-down all over again just to see that smile on Max's face. Everything that had happened to them was worth doing again if it meant them being together in the end.
