Jelly Bean and Skittles

Epilogue 3

Brooklynne finally got off of work and was eager to get back home to her husband and cat. As much as she loved her job, she owned a fashion empire, she missed her husband. Due to her crazy schedule they never really had time for each other. But all of that was going to change now that she had hired an assistant and learned that she could work from home. She was eager to tell her husband the good news.

When she walked into the house and heard Peter in the kitchen cooking dinner. She smiled when she heard Gennie's voice, a frequent visitor, going on and on about how her day at school was. The girl was now in 8th grade.

"Gennie! Peter! I'm home!"

Gennie dashed out of the kitchen and enveloped her in a hug. Peter strolled out of the kitchen and kissed her on the cheek.

"I just finished making dinner. Why don't you set the table and we will eat. Gennie are you staying for dinner?"

"My mom just texted me and said I had to go home. Bye guys!"

"Bye Gennie!"

"Bye sweetie!"

Gennie walked out of the house. Brook set the table and they both sat down to eat. They made small talk, mostly about work, when Brook finally remembered her good news.

"Oh honey! Guess what!"

"What?"

"I am going to work from home from now on! I hired an assistant as well. We can spend more time together!"

"That's great! Maybe you could come in sometimes and sing to the children."

Peter had decided to use his musical talent to become a music teacher. He was mostly working at a elementary school but sometimes did personal lessons in his own home. He would play instruments for concerts. Practically anything related to instruments he would teach and play.

"I would love too! Hey, have you checked the mail yet?"

Peter thought for a second then shook his head no. They both froze. They were both waiting for a certain letter that would change their whole lives. Peter got up slowly and ran to the mailbox Brook not far behind him. He threw open the mailbox and tossed the junk mail inside before taking a sharp breath.

"Brook... It's here."

Brook squealed and took the letter from him and dashed back up the drive way. She flung herself on the couch when she got back inside. Peter dashed inside as well and sat next to her.

"Open it!"

"What if...."

"Brook. Honey. Everything will be fine either way. Open it!"

Brook nodded and tore the letter open. She shrieked with joy and tossed it towards Peter. He skimmed it before he broke out in a huge smile.

"Peter!"

"Yes?"

"We're adopting a child! We are going to be parents!"
