In Another Life

Epilogue. Vicy

C.C.

I had watched my child be born. Even though Vicy had a death grip on my hand, I didn't know what to think. Jani -named after my old friend Jani Lane- And Minnie DeVille we're healthy babies, Jani looked like his momma, while Minnie looked like me.

"You named her after me?" Mia said while she was at mine and Vic's, I nodded "Yeah. Mouse, I know I haven't been the best father like guy, but I love you. Your like my sister, and I'm happy for you and Rik" I said as I fed Jani, he spit the food back out at me and I scowled.

Mia laughed as she took over "I love you too, Bruce. But, no as much as Vice. Go wake your wife, dad" she said and made a face as I kissed her cheek and went upstairs, I opened the door to mine and Vicy's room and walked in.

Between Jan and Min, Vicy is now finally getting to sleep. They are my kids alright. I got on the bed and laid on her "Get off of me" she mumbled and buried her head into a pillow, I moved hair so I could see some of her face "Minnie Mouse and Keith are here, Rikki is on his way. And the guys are in the backyard warming the grill up."

"Not hungry."

"Whats wrong?"

She sighed and rolled over looking up at me "We almost got a divorce. You hit me, like twice? Knocked me up, and fought with Minnie about Rikki. Why are we still together?" She said, I froze in my spot as I stared down at her. She's right.

I looked away and went to get up, but she grabbed my bicep and pulled me back down "I'll tell you why, since you don't know" she said and cuddled into me, I smiled and wrapped my arm around her "Because your loving, you look out for me and Minnie even though you get a little hard headed sometimes. But, you love us and now we got our own kids. And somehow through the years it has made us both stronger."

I smiled and kissed her "I love you Penelope" I said with a grin, she glared at me "How about we stick to Victoria? The girl who moved to New York and claimed her parents are dead? Not the country girl who's family lost their farm and got treated like crap?"

"Neither" I said, she raised a eyebrow and I moved hair from her face "How about, Vicy DeVille? The girl I fell in love with that I pushed down on the ground and that day I should have married her right then on that sidewalk? Your all I ever wanted."

She smiled and put her head on my chest "I love your Bruce."

Then, Keith decided to come into the bedroom dragging his stuffed dinosaur -Wilbur- he was having troubles climbing up on the bed, soni reached down and helped him up he laid between me and Vicy as Mia came in carrying Minnie and Jani, she sat on the bed and put the babies down.

She smiled and hugged us both "I love you guys" we hugged her back "Uh, and what would you both say if Rikki had me knocked up again?" She said with a bit of worry and pulled back.

She and Vicy looked at each other as I just looked at her trying to find words. Finally I gulped and smiled "Another grandkid?" I said to which Vicy just laughed and Mia sighed as I smiled and shrugged.
