-Ten Years Later-

Its LJ's birthday and he's turning 13. My baby boy grew up so fast. I'm 30 and Hayes is 27. I have LJ who is 13, Alexander who is 10 and Joey who is 7 and I'm 6 months pregnant with a baby girl. I'm blessed to have these 5 people in my life. I'm actually not married to Hayes yet. But I've talked to him about it but he never pays attention.

Right now, we're about blow out the candles of the cake.

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday Dear LJ. Happy birthday to you." We sang. He blows out the candles. He's about to bite the cake and all of sudden you see Nash, Cameron, and the Jacks push LJ's head on the cake. Luckily, I've been recording everything. And also having another cake. I know the guys would do this. I got the new cake out the fridge and cut it. We all started eating cake. LJ ran to his group of friends. I just sat down looked at everything and everyone. Hayes and I bought a house in NC with a big backyard. It was all just a dream come true except being married to the love of my life. Music was playing and it stopped. Sammy helped me up.

"Edith, you mean everything to me. You have always helped me in everything. You gave me four beautiful children even though one isn't born and one is my nephew. You make me smile. You make me happy. You make me laugh. You make me feel like the only man in this world that will make you feel loved. I saved your life. But you truly saved me. I love you so much baby girl." I was already standing right in front of him.

"Mommy, will you marry daddy?" LJ, Alexander, and Joey say in unison while Hayes was on one knee.

"Yes." I said while crying. He got off his knee and put it on my finger. I hugged him. Everyone was cheering and whistling. The boys hugged us. It felt like true family.

"I love my four my boys."
