Epilogue

Two years later...

||-Austin's POV-||

I sat next to Alan, smiling as Maisie rambled on about her day at school, "Then we went to art class, and I wanted to finish my family project but then Lilly took the red paint so I couldn't finish Daddy's hair."

"Awe, it's okay, you'll finish it on Monday," Alan said with a bright smile.

It was so wonderful to have him back, Maisie was so sad without Alan for those twelve months. I was so lost, I thought he wouldn't return, but here we were, sitting at the dining room table, eating dinner with our two children.

Maisie swallowed the last spoonful of her soup before whining, "Daddy, I don't wanna sleep with Tyler tonight. Pwease, can I sleep with you and Papa?"

I sighed, "Maisie, you know that Papa needs to get a good night sleep for work tomorrow."

"Pwease?" she pleaded.

"It's fine with me...," Alan whispered to me.

"Fine. But only because Daddy says it's okay," I huffed.

"Thank you Daddy!" Maisie said running into Alan's arms. She smiled warmly into the hug.

"Bedtime!" Alan said, picking Tyler up out of his chair.

I pulled Maisie onto my back, feeling her arms wrap around my neck for support.

"I love you," Maisie muttered happily in my ear.

"I love you too baby girl," I smiled.

She nuzzled her head into my neck, dosing off. I reached our bedroom door, hearing her yawn before I placed her in the center of the large bed. I exited our bedroom before heading into Tyler's. I kissed Tyler's forehead, pushing away the short strands of brown hair away from his eyes.

"Get to bed you, workaholic," Alan joked from behind me.

"Ha ha, very funny," I simply said.

Alan placed a quick peck on Tyler's cheek, before leaving Tyler's room. I followed in suit, walking back towards our room. He stopped at the door, not opening it.

"Gosh, I love you so much," he said, deeply kissing me.

I immediately kissed back, placing my hands on his cheeks.

"I love you too," I said breaking the kiss.

I opened the door quietly, seeing Maisie already sound asleep. Alan walked to the left side of the bed, laying on his side. I did the same, getting comfortable on the right side.

I didn't need anything but this. This was my family. This was my purpose. It was only a few moments before I heard Alan's breath even out, signaling that he was asleep. Within a minute I was doing the same, a permanent smile plastered on my face, that I wasn't sure would ever disappear.

||-Alex's POV-||

I rubbed the towel throughout Mason's brown hair, trying my best to dry it out.

"Good enough," I said, letting go of the little rascal and letting him run free, out of the bathroom.

Jack came into view with a average-sized box in his hands.

He smiled, "Hello beautiful."

I blushed, "I'm not beautiful."

"Oh shut up and accept my present," he teased, shoving the small box in my direction.

"This isn't a bomb right?" I joked, "You're sure you don't want to blow me up?"

"Jesus Christ, just open the damn box," he laughed.

I shredded the colorful wrapping paper with my fingers, scraps falling all around the floor.

"You expect me to rip packaging tape with my fingernail?" I said, looking down at the layer of the thick tape.

"No you dummy. The scissors are inside," he simply said.

"Your joking, right?" I asked seriously.

"Of course I am," he said, practically throwing a pair of shiny scissors to me.

"Are you trying to kill me?" I chuckled.

I sliced open the tape, pushing both cardboard tabs out of my way. My eyes widened at what was inside, a ring. A marriage proposal.

"Aren't you supposed to get down on one knee and like ask my mom for her blessing or some shit?" I questioned.

"Eh, too mainstream," he smiled, "So are you gonna marry me? I'm not a sentimental person. I'll kick you out," he joked.

"Of course I'm gonna fucking marry you! You asshole!" I joked back.

I stood up, jumping into Jack's arms, wrapping my arms around his neck. "I love you, you asshole," I happily said.

"I know you do," he shrugged.

"Where's my I love you!" I said slapping his chest.

"Eh, I guess....you're okay," he teased, "You hit like a girl though."

"Oh shut up," I replied, before placing a long kiss on his lips. I fell in love with my bully, a person who made me feel awful and useless for years, someone who is now the love of my life. "Jerk," I whispered when our lips separated.

"Nerd," he whispered back.
