Be Quiet, He Can Hear [To Be Edited]

Epilogue

Third Person POV

(10 years later)

"Happy Birthday Audrianna!" The group shouted, proudly watching an embarassed 8 year old blow out the candle's on her Hello Kitty birthday cake. Her eyes were deep blue like her fathers, and her long black hair hung straight down her back.

"Mom, can I cut the cake?" Cara asked, her mother. Cara had grown beautifully over the last 10 years, now a tomboyish 15 year old with hardly any memory of what had happened that night, so many years ago. Occasionally, she would have a nightmare about it, but all she needed to do was make a phone call, and David, her boyfriend, and Eddie's cousin from the wedding, would rush over, no matter the time. David was welcome, no matter what, by the Samuel's family, as were His cousin Eddie and his family.

Charlotte turned away from greeting Jackie, Eddie, and their three children, Andrea, Oliver, and Thomas. "Yes, baby, go ahead, unless your brother would like to do it, if so, then take turns cutting cake for everyone. Help him though, hold the knife with him. He can't do it by himself"

"Aaron!" Cara called, holding the cake knife in her hand. "Do you wanna cut the cake with me?!" In response, a 7 year old whirlwind barreled over to her, a wide smile on his face.

"Yea!" Aaron said, holding out a, slightly, pudgey hand for the knife.

Charlotte leaned against the kitchen counter, smiling fondly at the people in the room, listening to the conversations drifting through the air. Marcus' parents, Jennifer and Marcus Senior, were talking to John and Lisa, who had stayed friends with Marcus and Charlotte over the years. They were discussing the progress that Melina and Meredith, John and Lisa's three year old twins, were making. After years of not being able to get pregnant, John and Lisa had turned to IVF to get pregnant and it had worked the first round. The twins were born three months premature and it was worried that they were going to grow up with complications. Besides learning to walk and talk a little later than normal, the girls were fine, much to Lisa and John's relief.

Melissa and Joseph were putting together the toys that their grandaughter had gotten for her birthday.], as they listened to Audrianna's excited chattering. She talked about the party at Dave and Busters she had with some of her friends from school, and how much fun she had.

Charlotte sighed and leaned into the chest belonging to the arm that wrapped around her. "You okay?"  her angel asked, kissing her forehead tenderly.

"I'm perfect," She smiled, running her fingers through Marcus' hair. It just reached the nape of his neck, and sometimes Charlotte found herself missing it's length, but it needed to go. Babies were particularly fond of pulling his hair.

A cry rose through the crowd as the door bell rang, and everyone rushed to the bassinett that sat in the corner of the living room, while Cara went to answer the door, cooing at the bundle of blanket's inside. "I'll get her," Marcus replied, making his way through the crowd. He picked up the three week old baby, kissing her nose, and cuddling her to his chest. "My little Brooklyn Angel, what's the matter? Did your razy family get to loud and wake you up?" he teased. Brooke yawned, and opened her mouth in a yawn, looking just like her name sake as a child.

"Momma!" Cara shouted, panick in her tone. Charlotte ran to the front door and looked in confusion, staring at the open box in Cara's hands. Inside was a cupcake with pink frosting, and a fondant angel on top. Written on the lid of the box was, 'Freedom is sweet.'

Charlotte looked at Cara as the memories flooded back to her, and, all at once, Cara remembered everything that happened when she was four. Cara swallowed, and, as her mother yelled for the man that she had come to see has her father, whispered quietly, "Daddy's home."

*This is the end guys! no more BQHCH! BUT, after i get further with Forgotten riddle and i start editing this, i'm going to start *Insert Drumroll Here* the sequel! i have to figure out what i wasnt to happen but it might be called Finding My Angel, just a thought, not concrete yet. I'm also thinking of doing some sort of prequel for BQHCH starring, either, Marcus or Nicky as they have the most story worthy past.

Thank you to those who have followed Marcus, Cara, and Charlotte on their journey! I love you all,

Until the sequel, or the next upload of TFR,
