Jacob Rotts Schmetterling (Jacob Rott)

Epilogue

Seven months later

"No no no junior." Jojo ran after the youngest as he tried to climb the huge christmas tree that Jacob had insisted on having.
"It's got to be big to get everyone's presents under." He exclaimed as they walked around the tree farm.
By everyone he meant them, their children, his family, the boy's and their girlfriends.
Alexis was still wondering where everyone was going to sit.
"I've got it covered, don't worry." He grinned at her.
The secret room off their bedroom is where they hid the presents, that had all been beautifully wrapped and labelled.

Once under the tree they went to bed after locking the conservatory door so their kids couldn't get in.
"Why did I agree to this?" Alexis questioned as he rubbed her swollen feet.
"Because you are kind hearted, and love a get together." he kissed her toes as she tried to pull them out of his hands.
"I'm also seven months pregnant... WITH TWINS. No more babies Jacob."
"But I don't... " He giggled.
"I don't care if you don't like odd numbers. It's the end." She pushed herself up. "I hope everyone up there is looking down and happy for us." She looked upwards. "Mom, Grandma, Clemmy stop talking in God's ear and stop sending me more babies!!!"
Jacob laughed.

Everyone arrived the next afternoon and Alexis had to have a talk with Isobelle and Imogen.
"I'm warning you two, do not monopolise uncle Bene and uncle Luis and if I see you giving death stares to their girlfriends I will lock you in your bedroom."
Jacob's parents took over the looking after of the dinner so she could put her feet up.
"Long left?" Tim's girlfriend sat by her.
"Just under 2 months." She sighed." I've told him no more." She rubbed her belly.
"Seven is a large family. I thought mine was big with 4 siblings. I want to thank you."
Alexis looked at her.
"For what?"
The girl's cheeks flushed.
"That bed."
She smiled knowing what she meant.
"It's a nice bed." She looked over to Tim who was watching his girlfriend with lust.
Jacob walked over as she was left alone. He held out an envelope to her. Opening it she saw it was a hospital appointment.
"I'm getting a vasectomy if you agree to it. You OK if I do?"
Tears filled her eyes.
"Thank you." She whispered. "As much as I love being pregnant with your children, I think we should give others a chance to populate Berlin." They laughed. A couple of kicks from inside made her whimper. "Your sons agree." She told him as he placed kisses over her stomach.
"OK dinner is ready." His dad called and he helped her to her feet, stopping her under the mistletoe and claiming a kiss before they all sat down for a christmas feast.
