Epilogue

50 YEARS LATER

ROSE

"Hurry up Ricky, you know how Chris gets when we're late."

Ricky laughs, "Rose, calm down it's not like we're ever on time. If we turn up on time he'll think something's wrong."

I stop dead in my tracks halfway up the drive to Chris's house, "if he doesn't get to see his granddaughter he'll kill both of us, Ricky, now give me that baby holder."

I take the baby carrier from Ricky's hand just as our daughter starts to stir from her sleep, great now we woke a sleepy half human half vampire baby. Yes, Ricky and I had a baby. It's very rare for vampires to be able to conceive but lucky me I got given a womb that can carry children.

"Great now she's awake Ricky. Come on."

Ricky rolls his eyes and leans forward to peck my lips, "God I love you so much, Rose."

Rolling my eyes back at him I continue walking up the drive wanting to get in the house before she decided to cry. The front door had been left open for us, the other cars in the drive telling us everyone else was already here and we were officially the last ones.

"Home sweet home Rose."

Ricky pushes open the front door and we step inside the warmth. I place the baby carrier down and unbuckle our little ray of half undead sunshine that makes grabbing motions with her hands. I pick her up and place her on my hip.

"Did someone have a nice nap, Ella? Are you going to be awake to see everyone?"

She gurgles back at me which was baby talk for 'hell yeah'.

"She takes after her mum."

Ricky strolls past me and into the lounge where it seemed everyone had gathered. This was going to baby Ella's first Christmas with the whole family and it was going to be bloody special.

Putting a smile on my face I waltz after Ricky into the lounge.

"Everyone say hello to little Ella."

One by one people get up to say hello and take it in turns holding her. Just like her parents, Ella loved all the attention. After Chris holds her he hands her to Lauri and Ville before placing an arm around my shoulder.

"She's going to be a charmer when she grows up Rose."

I snort, "She's going to be mischievous more like it Chris, have you seen who her parents are."

Chris nods, "I have met her parents and they are amazing. They gave me a granddaughter to spoil rotten, Merry Christmas Rose."

I smile and lean against him, "Merry Christmas Chris."

Here's to hoping this was a tradition that continued year after year, I mean since my womb was to hire with Ville and Lauri next in line to use me as a surrogate followed after them by Vinny and Ryan of all people. One Christmas we'd have a whole bunch of kids running around. Here's to hoping Ricky liked me when I got fat again?

"I'll love you no matter what your size babe."

Ricky wraps his arms around my waist from behind and Chris takes the hint to leave us alone. I lean against Ricky forgetting that because we were mated we could kind of read each other's minds which had its pros and cons. This was one dysfunctional family, but it was my dysfunctional family.
