Epilogue

Fun fact:

The fun facts are coming to an end :(

"Promise" she says. I lean forward and press a light kiss on auroras forehead and then turn to my wife and kiss hers. She moves down and brings our lips together. I saved her from her life whilst she saved me from my own, and she never once broke a promise.

Eight years later-

So we all remember the sex ban that I had put back on.

Yeah.. about that, it ended up being forgotten and we had another baby. Another little girl this time.

Octavia Maria Hernandez. Named after Leo's mother. 

Octavia looks up to Aurora already. Even tho her big sister is only eight.

Aurora is doing better than we ever thought. When she wasn't breathing after she was born me and Leo had only hoped that she would survive.

She was smaller than she should have been, turns out her brother took up all the room inside the womb they shared. Even after that, Aurora is stronger than ever. She's starting to fight her brother back when Giovanni is annoying her. Which only makes Leo proud of her and me angry that Leo is condoning her behaviour.

I'd do that too if I had a brother. I'm in Aurora's side but no one needs to know that.

Giovanni had Leo's short temper.
Aurora has my stubbornness.

"Gio stop hogging the tv stick! Give it back"  I hear Aurora shout from the living room. I walk in to spot Giovanni and Aurora pulling at the remote back and fourth whilst four year old,  little Octavia watches them both in awe.

"It's my turn! You had it last" Giovanni pulls the remote harder and manages to get his sister off it. "I'm older so I get to choose" he says and switches the show.

Who taught them how to use the tv remote.

"That's not fair! Mum!" Aurora shouts. I walk into the living room and take the remote if Gio.

"If you two are going to keep arguing over the remote you won't watch tv at all" I switch it off and place it down on the table.

"Mama" Octavia giggles and lifts up her arms to be picked up.

I lift her up from underneath her arms and sit her on my hip. "Were is daddy" She says, resting her little head on my shoulder.

We've been slowly easing Octavia in to speaking. By the time she was three she has barley said a full sentence yet. When we went to a speech therapist they told us that she was delayed but nothing to worry about as she was till young.

It was a release to hear that we could slowly ease her into speaking eventually.

"I don't know baby how about we go and look?" I bounce her up on my hip. She gives me a big smile, showing of her pearly white baby teeth.

Aurora and Gio begin talking about the piece of homework they got from their teacher today. Let's just say Giovanni was not happy that he had to dedicate his home time towards school work.
