The Peacekeeper

Ever after

Rae's POV

"Oliver Cole Hunter! Stop tormenting your sister!" I yell. Gage chuckles. He thinks it is soooo funny. "Love, they are teenagers, what do expect?" I glare at him, "This is the LAST time." I point at my swollen belly. He laughs, "You said that the last four times." I glare harder, "I think that ten is enough, Gage." Xavier laughs holding his Daughter Amanda. Him and Gaston adopted her three months ago, she is only six months old, her mother died in child birth and her father was killed in the war. "Kids! Line up!" Our eight children line up in front of me Oliver who is sixteen, Chloe who is fourteen, Winter is twelve, Willow is ten, Liam is eight, Alice is six, Owen is four, and Violet is two.  I am currently pregnant with twins. "You all have chores to do, Why am I hearing a bunch of wrestling and horse play?" I ask them, quirking an eyebrow at them. They all bow their heads, "Sorry, Momma." They all say together. "All right get to work and then we can go to the park!" They all cheer and head off to clean their rooms. After Oliver was born, we had a house built on the HC grounds so that I could be close to work but that we had our own space. Each child is different but a perfect blend of Gage and I in looks. They each have different abilities and have daily training to master them. I couldn't be more proud of them. They are always surrounded by our family, the team. 

Gage wraps his arms around me from behind and kisses below my ear. "I love you. You have made me the happiest man on the planet. You have brought peace to the world and no one has to hide their gifts anymore. Everyone is free to be who they are with out fear. You have made the world a better place." He whispers in my ear and Xavier laughs, "Yeah, now you are just trying to repopulate it." I turn around and narrow my eyes, he stops laughing. "Rae, be nice, I am holding the baby." He says, backing away. Alex walks through the kitchen and grabs Amanda. "Traitor!" he hisses, causing Smoke to laugh. I levitate him upside down, "Now, what were you saying?" He smiles nervously, "That I love you and you are my favorite person in the world." Everyone roars with laughter when I dump him on his head. Gaston picks him up and sets him on his feet, "You would think you would know better by now." He laughs, kissing him on the cheek. 

Tank is standing next to his mate, Melissa, eating a bowl of Lucky Charms, "Tank, is that my cereal?" He looks down and then back at me before taking off running, "You'll never get me Lucky Charms!" We all roar with laughter, then my water brakes. Three hours later we welcome Skylar and River into the family. Life is complete. I couldn't be happier, even if Tank keeps stealing my Lucky Charms.
