Memories

Epilogue

~10 years later~

*Stephanie's POV*

"Maura and Brian, stop playing in the dirt!" I got off the wooden bench, my hand laying on my lower back and walked up to my messy children.

"But mom, Rocky keeps sniffing something!" Maura had said while tossing some dirt to the side, making some land in her hair.

"Yeah, this is the most action I've seen this lazy dog do!" Brian laughed while patting Rocky on the back gesturing him to keep going.

I couldn't help but smile, "You guys are going to have a long bath." They always seemed to have a great imagination and I couldn't ruin that for them.

Either they were slaying dragons, pretending to be race car drivers or acting out different characters, I would never be tired of watching them do so. I turned on the camera that I had in my hand and told them to smile and wave. They both turned to give a quick smile and half of a wave to return to their digging.

I heard the back door slide open and close and find Niall with a beer in his hand. "Our kids are crazy," I told him as he walked up to us.

He chuckled, "Defenitely came out like you." I scrunched my nose at him, he smiled and planted a kiss on my lips. I traced his tattoos of our children's name on his arm with my fingers.

"Say hello to the camera babe," I laughed, zooming in on his face as he made funny faces. I laughed louder as he made his famous cross-eyed face, I tugged his shirt and pulled him to me to kiss him again, a small smile still on my face.

Our kiss ended when we heard the kids squeal and Rocky bark louder than usual,

"What happened?" I asked as Niall jogged up to them, I zoomed out the camera and directed it to where the kids were. I stopped abruptly.

They pulled out a treasure chest.

Our treasure chest.

*Niall's POV*

My eyes widened as I saw the big, dusty object. "Holy sh-I mean...Holy shit!" I gaped, kneeling down in front of it and opening it up.

"Language!" Stephanie told me, never leaving her eyes off of what the kids have found.

"What is it dad?" Maura wondered as to why Stephanie and I were in awe.

"Oh! It's the memories your father and I buried so we can open it up as we got older!" she announced before I can explain. Her eyes got watery, "Oh God, I did not expect this," she added.

"Cool! What's this?" Brian picked up a picture frame and turned it around so we can see.

Stephanie covered her mouth with her hand and let a few tears out. Maura stood up and hugged her legs, Stephanie smiled through her tears and patted our daughters head, telling her that she was alright.

I grabbed the picture and laughed, "This was when your mother and I met, and found out we had the same birthday."

Maura grabbed the picture, "Woah, you guys use to be young?" She chuckled at her own joke gaining a laugh from her brother as well.

I smiled sarcastically, "Keep playing, but babe, look at us." I stood up and gave the picture to a smiling Stephanie.

She gasped, "Oh! I was so pretty!" I laughed and wiped the tears of joy from her cheeks. She zoomes the camera in on the picture for a while and zoomed back out to land on the kids again.

"Nice! You guys put toys!" Brian and Maura rummaged through the knick knacks while Rocky stared at them.

"Oh! I can't believe the kids found this!" Stephanie cried out, still staring at the picture.

I looked at my beautiful wife, she was perfect, her brown hair was falling nicely past her shoulders. Her eyes left the picture and landed on me.

"I can't wait for our babies to hear the life we went through when they get older...Minus the sex." Stephanie whispered the last words.

I laughed, "As well for the next Horan that's coming." I brought my head up to kiss Stephanie's belly.

She laughed, "Come here," she motioned me to stand up. I placed my beer on the floor and met Stephanie's lips with mine.

She smiled in between the kiss, "I love you so much," her words mumbled through our lips.

"I love you too."

She left the kiss and hugged me tight, even though her stomach didn't let us comfortably do so.

*Stephanie's POV*

"Ew! This gum smells like meat!" We turn around to see Maura holding up the pack of gum that we put in there a long time ago.

Woof! Woof! Rocky jumped over Maura and grabbed the pack of gum with his teeth.

"No!" Brian and Maura ran after him, tripping over a few things.

I stared at Niall, who raised his eyebrow at me and sighed dramatically, "Fine." He left my embrace and started chasing Rocky.

I laughed as he was getting trampled by our huge golden retriever. Niall made a wonderful father.

My hands rubbed my kicking belly, "Don't worry honey, you'll soon hear about these memories and maybe create some of your own."

I crossed my arms and looked up at the clear, blue sky and then back at my husband and children.

My life was perfect.
