The Underbosses Psychiatrist (M/M)

Epilogue - Jackson Chance's Point Of View.

To see that all my hard work had paid off was something pretty sweet. Zev and I had gone and picked up the girls from the local children's welfare agency and loaded them into the vehicle and took them back to our home. We had invited them to do a walk-through of our home and they had asked that we only video call them and show them all the stuff we had for the girls and that would be more than enough for them. Zev kept teasing and saying it was because of the fact that they were scared to come into our home because of my job. I mean that was probably the truth.

Here we were, Me, Zev and our three little girls.

Rosie was in love with them both and was excited that she would have siblings. I couldn't lie and say I wasn't also excited about them being here. I was very happy that they were here. The year and a half old baby spoke a few words, not as many as a baby her age should, but we would get her there. The newborn wasn't so newborn now, about two or three months old but really small. Emerson and Maddox were coming over shortly with Ares to meet the girls. We had asked for their help just a bit because they had more baby experience than Zev and I had. We also just loved when Emerson brought Ares over. That boy had a head of curly hair like his father.

Zev handed me a dirty diaper and smiled.

"Could you put that in the trash for me?"

"Sure. Kiss me first though."

Zev chuckled before giving me a quick kiss.

"Go now, It stinks," he said wrinkling his nose.

Disposing of the biohazard in the trash I made my way back to Zev who was currently feeding the littlest one of our children. He had nicknamed her baby bear. He had given both the baby's nicknames because he hated their names and it was something he was going to change as soon as he got the chance to when everything was settled. Funny enough I could also relate to that. He had a last name I wanted to change when I got the chance to ask him.

I hated to admit it but I understood what Maddox and Emerson meant when they said about each other looking so good with a baby in their arms that you wanted to make more. Or in our case adopt more. Hearing the lock flip on the door, I knew Maddox and his family were here now too.

Looking at the door, I smiled when I saw the curly-haired monster that was my favourite nephew. Emerson had done my nephew dirty and tied his curly mess into on ponytail that stuck up in a perfect ringlet. Emerson all but shoved Ares into my hands when he saw the newborn.

"Here hold him. You want to. You love him."

"Emerson!"

Ares shrieked in my arms as he smiled at me.

Maddox just shook his head at the display.

"Thank god we use protection. That boy is... Perfect with a baby in his arms."

"Trust me, Maddox, I got it. I understand."

Maddox wiggled his eyebrows at me and whispered about enjoying no sex for a while. He played with curl on his son's head as he left me standing there.

"I want to hold the little one too! "

"Uncle Maddox, Uncle Em! You came to play!"

" I always come to play with my favourite princess."

Walking with Ares I sat on the couch beside Zev who had the older of the two babies in his arms having lost the newborn.

"Emerson! What did you do! Look at his hair!" Zev said looking at Ares single ponytailed curl.

"That's his unicorn horn."

"I dislike it."

"You and me both, but I had to. He was a mess of hair this morning."

"He has Maddox's ringlets."

"I don't know what you mean," Maddox said chuckling.

"That boy is a perfect image of his darn father," Emerson said looking from Ares to Maddox.

Ares shrieked again this time reaching out and touching the year and half old. That got her attention and she turned to look at him. she saw the sucky on attached to his onesie and reached out and grabbed it. Ares just looked at her in shock his little eyes wide.

"Em, You have an extra soother?"

"Shush. I want to see what he does, and yes always."

Maddox had the newborn laid flat against his t-shirt and was rubbing her back. She was no doubt out like a light. I could remember only somewhat of when Rosie was at that age. Rosie paid us no mind, we had lost her attention to the tv which was playing all her tv shows. I wasn't a fan of how deep she got into the shows, but it was keeping her busy.

Ares finally realized he was being robbed and started shrieking. Emerson stood up and brought him the other sucky. He almost looked at Emerson like he was a traitor. He laid his head on my shoulder and just shirked. She let go of his sucky and reached out for the one Emerson had. He cleaned it and gave it to her. She put it in her mouth and held her arms out for him. He took her.

At the same time, I was robbed of Ares. Zev snatched him and blew raspberries on his belly which made him giggle and make happy baby noises. Getting off the couch, I walked over to where Rosie was on the floor and picked her up.

"Dad! I'm not a baby, put me down!"

"Let me just hug you!"

"Fine."

I hugged her, her feet dangling off the ground. She had grown so fast it was hard to believe. I hated that she was this big already, Soon enough Zev and I would be walking her down the aisle towards whoever thought they were brave enough to win her attention. Maddox stole Rosie from me.

"You don't get to hug my niece like that, It's my job."

The newborn was in the baby swing fast asleep. Zev and Em had babies in their laps. They were trying to teach them to play patty cakes, which was amusing to me. Maddox and Rosie were in the kitchen raiding the cookies, which was normal.

"Look at our large family now, Jackson."

I was looking, and I adored what I saw. But something funny hung on the tip of my tongue.

"Hey, Zev?"

"Yes, my love?"

"How does that make you feel?"

Zev's face morphed from shock to laughter as he busted out laughing, Emerson right beside him laughing. Ares started to giggle as well.

"In all honesty, How does it make you feel Jackson?"

"Wouldn't you like to know, My good doctor?"

One day, when I felt brave enough, I would tell this man how he and his impact on my life made me feel, for now, I love you was the best I could give him.
