            Epilogue

I'm about to turn forty. Carmen's at uni and Cody is in his second year of college.

Chris is still an huge success in the music industry, whether it's writing, producing or singing.

I am still a successful midwife, having two kids didn't stop either of us. We had a lot of help from our parents and friends along the way, but who doesn't in life? Our children were not spoiled by their father's fame, they grew up with a good amount of money and were by no means spoiled. They were taught to work for the things they want in life, that's why they're both in higher education. Carmen didn't get lower than a B in any of her exams. Ever. She studied hard and is about to get a degree.

Cody's less sure about what he wants to do in life, but he by no means won't leave his mark on the world. He surely will.  At the moment he wants to be a fireman. But I don't know if he'll turn out to be one or not.

Our mothers always remained great friends, especially since Carmen was born. They're forever on holidays and trips together. I think they've been to more places than Chris and I have together!

Luke, his wife Selena and their daughter April come over often. April and Carmen are very close friends, always going to parties and double dates together. It's so great to see them getting along.

Emma and Tom got married in this beautiful building, the same building where Ross marries Emily in FRIENDS. I know, she's obsessed. It was a beautiful ceremony, full of family and friends. Her whole family came, even her brothers! They surprised her on the day! Her mum walked her down the aisle and I really started to realise how much we'd grown up since year nine when we first became close friends.

Zalma and Justin (Yes, the same Justin that was Chris' grooms-man.) were an unlikely couple at first. We all thought Zalma was gay! But the longer they were together the more it made sense. Justin is fucking feminine! Excuse my French. They had a Muslim marriage ceremony (Justin converted to Islam) and it was a really lovely day. Justin wrote a whole album about Zalma, he called it 'My haram girl' which she hated! So he changed it to 'If only the qur 'an told me this' which she approved of. The songs were all about Zalma and Islam in general. The single was called 'Do it for Allah' and reached number one. They produced seven lovely kids. As long as you don't let them bite you that is. They take after their mum like that. I'd say their names but I can't pronounce them properly.

Shuqi married her long term boyfriend Jaden Smith. They got married in Shuqi's home town in China. It's such a beautiful place I don't know why she would ever want to leave! They had a beautiful boy who did well in school and was very popular, especially with the girls. He was amazing at sports, just like his mum and played for all the school teams. Shuqi became a key person in the fashion industry. More influential than Viviane Westwood, Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent. Put together! She once slated a Chanel dress and they were shunned for an entire season!

Roxy and Andy got married in a beautiful place in Paris. She ended up touring with him for a few years before going back to work. They settled down and had three children. Andy continues to make music with Black Veil Brides but also has a separate project with Roxy. Roxy still works despite having three children. She also started doing charity work for children who've been abused or have terrible illnesses. Andy does a lot of that with her. Their children picked up music young, Andy's band taught them how to play and their daddy got to teach them to sing. They do well academically and enjoy sports.

Lastly, Chris and I. After getting married in Los Angeles and going on a honeymoon in Jamaica. We had Carmen and Cody and settled down for real. Chris took me and the children on tours and to video shoots. We had lots of holidays and spent lots of time together as a family. We went all around the world with our children and sometimes our parents would come too. Carmen and her boyfriend are now massively looking forward to going to uni and Cody is that little bit closer to becoming a fireman. Chris and I are so proud of our children and wish them the best. We also wish they would stop letting themselves into our house and raiding our fridge, then leaving without talking to us. Kids eh?!

Altogether we lead happy lives and were all blessed with husbands and children. We got to go around the world and we never got strapped for cash. We always remained friends, all five of us. In the good times and the bad and for that I couldn't be more happy.
