Epilogue

All I want is to be woken my alarm one morning, one.

"Ari...." I groaned.

"Nine months," She grumbled. "Nine. Months."

I groaned and rolled out of bed, shuffling out I my bedroom, stubbing my toe on the wall as I went. It was her fifth time tonight, my fifth time getting up, Hunter cried nowhere near this much.

I got into my daughter's purple painted bedroom and picked her out of her crib. Rocking her gently in my arms and trying to lull her back to sleep.

"Come on, Janie." I whispered. It took her two minutes until she was happily sucking on her thumb again, asleep.

I sighed and crawled back into bed with Arizona. It was six forty. My alarm was supposed to go off in ten minutes, there was no point of going back to bed.

I got up again, showered, got dressed, and peeled the blankets off of Arizona. "Ari, you're going to be late."

She groaned. "Can I take a sick day?"

I laughed and kissed her on the forehead. Normal people problems. "Sorry, sugarbuns, but you don't get sick."

Now it was time to wake Hunter up, my least favorite part of the day.

I walk into his room and open the door, the blue nightlight casting an eerie glow on his sleeping figure.

"Hunter, it's time to go to school."

"Ugh!" Here we go again. He sits up in his bed, his eyebrows knitted together, hands balled up in fists. "I don't want to go!"

I turned on the light and sat on the end of his bed. He quickly burrowed back under his blankets.

"Don't you want to set a good example for Jane? She is going to do exactly what her big brother does." I peeled back the blanket slowly, he looked up at me with wide blue eyes.

"Does Jane have to go to school?" He asked, curiosity in his voice.

"Not yet, she is too little, but she will."

He sighed and sat up, rubbing his eyes. "Ok, only if Jane has to."

I smiled and helped him get out of bed and get dressed. I listened down the hall as Arizona tried to get Jane out of bed without waking her up, it didn't work, she was wailing in seconds.

Hunter went into her room, I followed him.

"Jane, you might not want to wake up, but you are going to have to go to school one day, and as your big brother, I have to set a good example for you."

Arizona looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. Jane started to calm down.

"I brought donuts!" I regret giving her a key, Jane started crying again when I heard the front door slam shut.

Hunter squealed and bounded down the stairs.

"She is driving me to work since my car is in the shop." Arizona whispered, trying not to wake Jane again.

"I could've driven you." I offered.

"Why waste the gas?"

I sighed and went downstairs and into the kitchen.

"Daddy!" Hunter squealed, showing me a chocolate donut. "Look what Keira brought me!"

I raised an eyebrow at Keira who was eating a glazed donut herself, already helping herself to coffee. "What?" She asked with a mouthful of donut.

"Sugar in the morning? You're going to regret that." I looked down at little Gia, who was running around the kitchen in a pink tutu. We had probably been settled down a month when Keira broke the news to us that she was pregnant as we sat on our living room floor eating Chinese food, Hunter asleep in my lap.
