Epilogue

*4 years later*

"Maman!" Joseph climbs into Nikki's lap as she sits at the computer. She groans, as he accidentally kicks her stomach.

"Joey, amour. Où est papa?"

"Dans la cuisine," he answers with a grin as she sighs, and he tries to type on her computer.

"Luke!" She grabs the little hands, grabbing Joseph to turn him toward her. "Joey, je travaille."

Lucas enters the office and scoops Joseph out of her lap. "Sorry. He got away from me when I was making breakfast." He sets him on his feet and tells him to go eat his breakfast before turning back to Nikki. He leans over the back of her chair, staring at the screen. "You're going to do fine, doll. You've been living here for more than 7 years."

"I know..." she sighs, resting her head back against his chest as she rubs her stomach. "These girls of yours don't stay still though."

Lucas chuckles, resting his hand on her stomach as one of the twins kicks him. "I'm sorry. Do you want me to drive you today?"

"No, no. I'll be okay. I just hope the girls sleep during the test."

"Well..." he closes her laptop as she groans, and he turns her to the side and helps her to her feet. "Why don't we feed them. That should help. I made crêpes and pan au chocolat."

She moans softly, grinning. "You spoil me."

"Anything for my girls."

She sighs, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Well, this girl is done. No more babies."

"Three is good," he agrees with a grin. "A boy and two girls. Have you thought of names yet?"

"Some... we can talk about it later. I'm hungry." She giggles, leaning up to kiss his cheek as he laughs, following her into the kitchen.

Nikki notices the cars in the driveway when she returns home a few hours after she left. She can already hear the laughing and yelling inside as she pushes open the door. She removes her coat and shoes and enters the lounge as the adults fall silent, Joey still running around with his cousins.

Lucas approaches her, grabbing her hand and guiding her to the oversized chair in the corner of the room that is her favorite. "How did it go, love?"

She grins wide as she hears a collective sigh in the room. "I'm officially a French citizen! You're all stuck with me now!"

Lucas laughs, leaning down to kiss her and then her stomach. "Sadly, I think we already were," he teases as she scoffs.

"Sadly?!" She hits him on the arm as everyone laughs. "I am pregnant Lucas. I could cry at any time. Don't be so mean."

"It was just a joke, love."

"I have an announcement," Marie states as she stands up in the middle of the room as Sam scoops up their 2-year-old daughter, Béatrice. Nikki grins, as she grabs Lucas's hand. "I'm pregnant!"

"I knew it!" Nikki stands up with Lucas's helps, wrapping her in a hug. "I'm so excited!" She looks at François with their son, Tomás on his lap. "And you guys?"

He laughs, shaking his head. "No. I think we're good with one." He looks at Adrienne for confirmation and she laughs and nods. "See... We'll just have to count on you two to fill up the family tree."

Nikki laughs, hitting him on the shoulder. "Funny. Actually, we're done after these two. And... I've been thinking about names."

Lucas grins, crossing his arms over his chest. "Let's hear them then."

"Simone Michelle for baby girl 1 and Sylvie Marie for number 2."

"I love them," Lucas proclaims, wrapping her in his arms and pressing a kiss to her head. "I love you."

"I love you too, Luke. And our family." She grunts as Joseph runs into them and Lucas scoops him up into his arms. "I can't imagine that soon there will be two more sets of feet running around."

Lucas chuckles. "Well, they won't be running around quite yet. As long as we do everything together, we'll be fine." She rests her head on his shoulder as he sets their son back down to run around with the other little ones and she takes in the sight of her new family that she never knew she wanted so much.
