Hearts & Stars (A Paul Stanley X Tommy Thayer Rock & Roll Love Story)

Chapter 39- Hearts & Stars: Epilogue (Paul Stanley & Tommy Thayer-Stanley POV)

A/N: Last chapter, really bitter-sweet...this is at an end....

Paul POV:

10 years have passed and it's now 2012, time really has flown. Tommy and I are still married, still more in love than ever. We've added two more children to our family: another girl and a boy. Our 3rd daughter is 7 years old, our Alexandra Leigh or her nick name: Alexa. Our son is 3 years old, and we named him Patrick Thomas, the Thomas being for Tommy of course. A few more months and Kiss are going on tour with Motley Crüe this summer. In the meantime, we are just spending time together as a family.

"Patrick! Get back here!" Tommy's yells from upstairs and he sounds exasperated and when Patrick comes into view, I see why...He's butt naked, I catch him before he can make a break for it.

"Got you! Patrick, you know you're not supposed to be naked running thru the house!" I tell him sternly and Tommy comes into view after sprinting into the room.

"He made a break for it...he's fast." Tommy pants and I notice he has Patrick's clothes in his hands.

"I be naked like daddy on stage!" Patrick pipes up in his little voice. Tommy bursts into laughter....

"Sweetheart, daddy's not naked on stage. He doesn't wear a shirt, but he's not naked. Now you mister needs to get some clothes on!"

Patrick pouts, "But Mommy!"

"No buts and speaking of which you need clothes on yours." Tommy says sternly.

"Otay, Mommy! Wuv you!", Patrick beams at his mother as finally he is clothed.

"Love you too sweetheart!" Tommy comes to sit with me on the couch, but I take Patrick in my lap as I kiss Tommy.

"Where's the rest of the kids?" I ask my husband and suddenly three sets of feet run down the stairs, our daughters Carrie, Sarah, and Alexa come into view.

Tommy & I find us in a kid pile all four of our children, our beautiful children cuddling around us. This right here is perfect.

Tommy POV:

Patrick ran from me, it's his favorite game to run from me and Paul when we try to dress him.... it's his greatest parlor trick.

But finally, Paul caught him, and he's dressed. God, I love all four of my children so much! And my husband, my beloved star-shine!

Currently my family and I are cuddling together on the couch.

"Babe?" Paul asks.

"Yeah Star-shine?" I ask burrowing into his side as much as I can.

"Did I tell you Ace called? Told him and Bruce are coming over for dinner. Sorry forgot to tell you." Paul looks at me sheepishly, but I just smile.

"The kids too, right? They've got 3, all girls. They are handfuls, but so adorable!"

"Kids too, and they are part Ace, so they've funnily enough all have his laugh, but are a mix of both parents personality wise." Paul grins.

"Mom, what are we having for dinner?" Carrie asks me. Her siblings chorusing similar responses.

"OOH, can we have hamburger steaks?!" Sarah is bouncing in place rather like Eric Singer-Simmons. He & Gene by the way, have 4 kids now like Paul and I. Still horny as ever for each other.

"What do you think Paul?", I glance at Paul and a grin is plastered on his face.

"I think sounds good. And veggies too of course."

"What about dessert daddy?" Alexa chimes in.

"You've spent too much time with your Uncle Gene & Uncle Eric." Paul shakes his head but grins at her, nonetheless.

Alexa pouts, "Please?" She looks just like Paul but has my eyes and personality.

"Ok sweetheart, we can have dessert." I ruffle her hair.

Ace & Bruce and their brood arrive, early of course.... Bruce really has changed Ace. I've never seen them so happy. And all the kids go off together to play while us grown-ups get started on dinner. Ace & Bruce sit at the island in our kitchen.

"So how you guys doing Curly?" Ace says.

"You'd probably find this funny; Patrick ran from me earlier when I tried to put clothes on him. He does it all the time, so him running thru the house naked and Paul caught him. Patrick said he wanted to be naked like Paul is on stage." I laugh.

Ace cackles wildly, "God that's funny! I imagine you told him Paul just doesn't wear a shirt, and he isn't bare-ass naked."

"I did tell him that, he still didn't want to put clothes on." I laugh and shrug at the same time.

Paul shakes his head, "You blink, and that kid is gone when you even mention the word 'clothes'"

"How's your girls?" Bruce tilts his head, Ace stares lovingly at him....one could practically see hearts floating off the former spaceman.

"They're good, you know Carrie & Sarah have been practicing guitar. Alexa plays drums, god you know that made The Eric's and Peter thrilled" Paul states amused.

"Now curly, just need to make a bass player out of your son!" Ace cackles. There is much laughter, teasing and conversation between us as we cook dinner and dessert of course, before I know it everything is ready and it's quite the production getting everyone to the table and settled.

Paul and I share a look as we all eat, his brown eyes sparkling as he leans in to kiss me. No one is paying the least bit of attention, all engrossed in various conversations in between bites. What the future holds, I cannot say, but with Paul by my side and my children and really all my family....I look forward to finding out!
