Infinity

Epilogue

Nine months after Rose and Jake found out they were having a baby, they were blessed with a baby boy. That boy was named Ethan. They had decided on Ethan because that name meant strong. When they looked at their newborn child, Rose and Jake knew that he was a strong child who would grow up to do great things.

Although they were happy with Ethan, they wanted more kids. However, they struggled with that. Over the next three years, Rose and Jake suffered through four miscarriages. After the fourth one, they were extremely discouraged that they'd be able to have a second kid. They didn't lose hope though, and they kept on trying.

About a month after the fourth miscarriage, Rose told Jake that she was pregnant again. Only this time, there were tears of sadness on their faces, because they were scared that it'd be another miscarriage.

"Stay strong during this one," Jake whispered. "I have faith in this one," He kissed her on the forehead. "But if it does end up being a miscarriage, I want this to be our last time, ok? I hate seeing our family, you especially, suffer like this." Rose nodded and hugged Jake as she cried with fear.

After one long and emotional pregnancy, they reached eight months. It felt like the longest pregnancy to them. Every day, they were sick with fear that the baby would die. They would fear that they'd lose the baby. This time, they didn't.

Their miracle baby survived. When Jake and Rose's baby girl was born, she immediately stopped breathing and had breathing issues for the next 24 hours. Those 24 hours put Jake and Rose through more emotions than they had with any other child. Their girl did start breathing on her own again, but she was diagnosed with asthma.

Jake and Rose were more than blessed to have their baby girl, safe and healthy. They ended up naming her Emma. That name was chosen for her because Emma meant complete. She made their family and life complete.

~~~~~~~~~

Five years passed since Emma was born. Jake and Rose still had their full-time jobs, but Rose had quit her job as a bartender after Ethan was born. The family of four still lived in the apartment, with the main room being the living room and kitchen, Emma and Ethan sharing a bedroom, and Jake and Rose sharing the other bedroom.

Ethan ended up having light brown hair like Rose and dark green eyes like Jake. Emma ended up having dark brown hair like Jake and light blue eyes like Rose. But there was something Jake and Rose didn't know about them. Since they were transhuman... would Ethan and Emma be transhuman as well?

One night, Ethan and Emma were giggling to each other in their beds. At that time, Ethan was eight years old while Emma was five years old. Rose walked into their room. She may had been 40, but she only looked about 30.

"Ok, kids, what are we laughing about?" Rose asked with a smile. She loved whenever her kids smiled.

"We were talking about how we think you and Dad met," Ethan answered. "I think you two met at school, with Dad being your tutor or something. Emma thinks you two met at a Halloween party or something." Emma giggled. Rose chuckled, loving her kids' imaginations.

"Mom... how did you and Dad meet?" Emma asked. Rose smiled, thinking about that moment, and then she started to laugh.

"Jake, come in here!" Rose called while laughing. Jake walked into his kids' bedroom. Even though Jake was 42, he looked only about 35. "Sweetie, the kids want to know how we met." Jake smiled as Ethan and Emma both chuckled.

"Wow... uh, well that's quite a story," Jake chuckled. "Are you sure you want to hear it?" Emma and Ethan nodded with excitement. "Ok... where should we start, Rose? What's the necessary beginning to that very... interesting... story?"

"They'd have to know about S.T.A.M.P and the Dublekas... it's the only way for them to understand," Rose answered. Jake nodded, knowing the day that they'd share the Dubleka story to their kids would come sooner than later. Emma and Ethan stared at Jake, both eager with curiosity about what they were talking about.

"Ok, it all started one day when I fell asleep in my apartment after getting really drunk at a graduation party," Jake began. Emma and Ethan immediately laughed at that thought. "Oh yeah, that was a very comical time... but that's another story. When I woke up, the leaders of a group called S.T.A.M.P, named Chris and Ben, were in my apartment! Basically, S.T.A.M.P was a secret organization that was trying to hunt down these human-like aliens that lived on Earth. They were called Dublekas, and they wanted to kill every human on the planet and rule the universe. Chris and Ben told me that I was the chosen one in a prophecy, and I had to fight those aliens to save the world. When I was at S.T.A.M.P's building, preparing for the journey I was about the have, the Dublekas dropped a bomb on the building." Emma and Ethan both gasped. "Your mom was the one who saved me from dying in that building." Rose blushed. "She joined me in the adventure to fight the Dublekas, and as we continued the journey together to save the world, my love grew stronger until it reached infinity."

"And so did my love for you," Rose added. Jake and Rose kissed each other.

"So what happened in the journey?" Ethan asked. "I want to hear more about this! It sounds so cool!" Emma nodded, also excited and interested. Jake and Rose smiled at each other as they explained their story of saving the universe from the Dublekas, their children listening intently.

~~~~~~~~~

When the Dublekas' hideout erupted years ago from the bomb Jake and Rose had activated, people had gone to the scene to find survivors and report about it. No survivors were found. However, the Dublekas' bodies were found and were taken for further evaluation. There were no alive survivors though. That's at least what they thought.

One lady, named Natalee, was all by herself at the site of the destroyed hideout. She was sent by the company she worked at to clean up the debris alone. She was quietly cleaning when she found a cyrotube under all of the debris, with no scratches or damage on it. It was almost as if there was an invisible barrier around it. Natalee saw a person inside of it. She opened it quickly and worriedly, wondering what a person was doing in there.

The person inside was a lady. She opened her eyes and frantically stepped out of the cyrotube.

"I'm so glad you found me, now I need you to help me," the lady begged. "I can't tell you much, but I just need a place to stay. I'm pregnant. You need to let me give birth to my kid at your house, and I will die when I give birth to it. Then take the kid to an adoption center. That is all I ask." Natalee nodded, agreeing to help someone so desperate, even if she was confused.

The lady stayed with Natalee for about seven years. Natalee was concerned of her being pregnant for that long. All the lady would say, though, was to not worry because she was supposed to be pregnant for that long. After those seven years, the lady gave birth to a baby boy and died.

Natalee did what the lady had told her to do. She took the baby boy to an adoption center, where he was adopted less than a week later.

He was a beautiful baby boy and was adopted by a very nice and happy family. But there was one thing nobody knew about him. Not even the baby himself knew about it.

He was the leader Dubleka's backup plan.
