Jen's POV:

The sun shines brightly through my open window, as I stir and stretch out my limbs. The back of my hand brushes something as I finally open my eyes, and realize that my hand has brushed on my husband's cheek. He sighs, and his hazel orbs open a few moments later. "Good morning." He whispers groggily. "Good morning." I answer. I'm just about to ask how he slept when our two hyper twins come bounding into our room. "Mommy! Daddy! Can we go outside please please please?" They shout in unison. I shush them and place a finger to my lips. "Shhh... You're going to wake your baby sister." Sophia places her hands to her mouth and murmurs "sorry" behind her hands. "We can go outside, babies." Josh tells them, and they do their best to jump around with excitement but also with silence. "We'll be downstairs!" Ryan exclaims, and the twins go bounding down the stairs.

Josh stands up and finds a shirt in his drawer, slipping it over his bare back. He grabs some sweatpants out of the lower drawer and steps into the master bathroom to change. I myself stand up a few moments later, settling with a nice summer dress for my outfit. I quickly brush my teeth and comb through my hair, and I join Josh soon after he heads outside with the twins. He already has baby Emily in his arms, wrapped in a blanket and slowly waking from slumber.

They play on the swing set. The twins are now four years old; the hyper girl with the brown hair and hazel eyes and the boy with the blonde curls and ocean eyes. Emily sits in Josh's lap, his knee bouncing her up and down, her being still too small to run around yet. It took a while for me to be convinced into settling down, but after the twins were born, I realized that this is what I wanted. This is what I've always wanted.

The questions are just the beginning. The twins already know that movies are a big part of our lives, and they even know a little bit about when we met. Emily will know in a few years, as she is only 6 months old today. How can I tell them about our careers in a way that won't make our fame get to their heads? That won't make them too cocky at school when they're older?

My children, who don't know their parents are celebrities.

Josh says it will be okay. We have each other, and the cast. We can tell them in a way that won't affect their lives too much. "They'll be able to have normal lives, Jennifer." He tells me. "Or at least mostly normal lives... We'll be okay. I promise."

It's not easy to make promises in this world, with a rapidly changing society, and crazy, violent incidents STILL happening all over the globe. But we're okay. Josh and I are okay. Our children are okay. That is all that will ever matter to me.

I look at the smiling faces of my children, and the proud, twinkling eyes of my husband, and I guess the odds truly were in our favor.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR READING MY FANFIC!!! I appreciated every piece of feedback that you guys gave me, and I love every single one of you ❤️ I will consider writing a sequel for these characters if there are enough people who want it, but for now this'll be it for me. I do apologize for how long this part took me, but I really started to lack the motivation for the story and I hope this was a suitable end. Thank you all for the support. ❤️ - Jackie
