epilogue

I would say I was more than blessed in my life.

Harry and I grew old together, and we ended up putting two rocking chairs on our front porch so we could be just as cliche as we could.

Jude graduated first in his class from Johns Hopkins and became one of the top neurosurgeons in the entire world. While we were on one of our missionary trips together during his junior year of college, he met a beautiful girl named Molly and they were married only two years later.

Three years after that, they gave us a set of twin girls (Maya and Emily) as our first grandchildren, then another girl (Amelia) a year later.

Harry and I bought a house for them only ten minutes away, mostly so we could see the girls whenever we felt like it. Jude just appreciates the gift.

Theo went to Berkeley and graduated with his degree in business, which he used to become the CEO of Apple corporations for the entire United States.

He's married to Farrah, a super sweet girl who was born and raised in California. That small fact meant that their two kids, two boys (George and Christopher), both had blonde hair and eyes as light as the clearest blue ocean. They also had olive skin and Harry's curls, just like Stella. And now they live right next to Jude, which I think he did just to piss him off.

Stella, meanwhile, decided to take a slightly different path. She got pregnant during her senior year of college and although it was from a one night stand, she ended up marrying the baby's father. He was the best thing that ever happened to her.

He was quiet and really smart, so he helped tutor her and she ended up graduating in the top five of her class.

After that she moved in with us while Charlie finished medical school, and it was during that time that our last grandchild, Theodore Jude, was born. We called him little Teddy and naturally, her brothers were over the moon to have him named after them.

Stella and Charlie moved into a big house at the end of our street and we half-raised Teddy, mostly because Stella and Charlie volunteered with me and we went on lots of missions together. So technically, Harry half-raised Teddy. In any case, he was a very spoiled little boy.

All the grandkids were fairly close in age, even the twins, the oldest, were only five years older than Teddy.

And every Sunday, we would cookout in our backyard and let the kids splash around in the pool until they all crashed and we could sit and have adult time. We would cook s'mores and talk and laugh and enjoy every second of our time together.

I had never met a more closely bonded family than ours.

And Harry and I, we ended up alright. Although each of our kids walked in on us having sex at least once, they turned out better than anything we could have ever expected.

Harry is everything to me.

He's the father of my children, my best friend, the light of my life and everything in between.

Harry Styles is, and will always be, my etc.
