Flor

EPILOGUE

Five years later ....

Jasmine runs into the room. Her long black locks of hair longer than her small body.
"Daddy! I found a new pet for us." My daughter squeals. "Oh yeah?" I grumble. I turn towards to her. Her hands hiding behind her.

She's wearing a silky red dress that falls over her like a small sack. Her favorite dress. She hates wearing pants. Shoes. Anything that isn't flowy. It matches her spirit. She's adventurous always climbing around in the fucking rocks and trees outside.

If I could put her in a fucking bubble to protect her I would.

She nods her head vigorously. "Mhm mhm! Look!"
Her small arms pull out from behind her back and a small reptile slithers on her hands.

"Jasmine." My voice is hard. She's holding a fucking snake.

"It's so cute." her soft voice cooes, she holds the snake up to her face and the snake just stares at her.

"Jasmine baby." I say. I try not to freak out before I step forward and snatch the snake out of her hand.

"That's a snake." I say. My breath releasing as I get the fucking snake out of her hands.

It's a garter snake. It's extremely small. And it isn't harmful. They're here at our house alot. How the fuck did she catch it. The snake isn't angry. It just slithers.

It draws it's body back towards her. This fucking snake likes her.

My Jasmine fits in well with nature. She got that fucking energy from Flor. Flor always used natural herbs and plants for shit. And it fucking works she has that gift.

Jasmine giggles as I let the snake closer to her. Still holding it in my hands and making sure to grab his mouth shut with my fingers.

Flor walks into the room. Her soft black hair curled. It falls back behind her body. Her body the same structure as Jasmine's. Their skin both golden and even. Like an exact fucking replica.

Jasmine runs over to Flor and I look at the two loves of my life standing together. "Momma. Look what I foundd." she says mischievously.

I smirk at how she almost taunts Flor with it knowing that with me she acts sweet but with Flor she likes to be mischievous. She gets that part from me.

"What is it baby?" she says. Jasmine grabs the snake from my hand and slithers happily in place wrapped around her small arm.

"What the fuck." Flor says. Her body stills. I can't hold in my laugh and start chuckling. Jasmine giggles too.

"Seriously how did you get THAT." Flor scoops Jasmine up and peels the snake off of her. Flor isn't scared of snakes either. Their energies flow together so well as all animals seem to be drawn to them.

It's because they're ethereal. Made of the same energy as everything pure and innocent in this world.

Jasmine swings her hands trying to grab the snake out of Flor's hands. Her face in a small pout. "Gimme it." she says.

"nuh uh" Flor mutters. Holding it away from her, Flor's inspecting the snake all over. Fascinated by it. Yep that's exactly where Jasmine fucking gets it from.

"What Is THAT." Christian's voice cuts through my thoughts. He appears at the doorway a very pregnant Rosie next to him.

Rosie's face flushes. "JASMINE did you pick that up?"

Jasmine's small face nods and smiles, "Yes Auntie Rosie." She grabs it out of Flor's hands and wraps it around her neck. The snake peacefully hanging.

"Quick send a picture to Uncle Grey, Jay and Kai!" she lists off their names. And I smirk at how she is so always so happy to have a bunch of uncles that encourage her mischievous behavior.

I pull out my phone and snap a picture. "Say Cheese."

"CHEESE!" She grins widely, her energy radiating off of her. Her new snake that I know I'm going to have to buy a fucking habitat for because I can't say no to her, nestled on her, accepting that he has a new home.
