A/n: Fun fact about me: Epilogues have always been my favorite part of any story. 

ENNY'S P.O.V

A three-year-old, little brown haired, green eyed boy runs around in circles around me, his teeth small and spaced. His squeals of joy and adrenaline every time I reach out to him fill the room which is full of baby toys and laundry yet to be folded. The sound of his bare feet on the hardwood floors sounds like the soft sounds of raindrops hitting the street.

Caleb, shirtless and holding Michaela, our 10-month-old baby named after my older brother, walks into the room. He glances down at Danny, who's still running around me like the little energizer bunny that he is.

Since it's summer, Danny is living with Caleb and me, since that was our agreement with Amanda even though Danny isn't actually Caleb's biological son.

"What is he doing?" Caleb asks, a small grin on his face as he pads over towards me, kissing my cheek on his way to the couch.

"You know," I begin. "I really wish I could answer that, but I think this is just toddler entertainment."

He chuckles and grabs Michaela's bottle off of the coffee table that's in front of the couch. He leans back and placed the bottle to her lips. "How did I get so lucky?"

"What?" I ask, lifting Danny up by his underarms, balancing him on my hip and turning to look at Caleb.

"You look so hot like that," he says, winking at me, and I wrinkle my eyebrows at him despite the blush I know is still creeping up to my face.

"Holding a three year old?" I say, chuckling. He nods his head and I wink at him playfully.

"I couldn't ask for anything more than this," he continues, building off of what he said earlier. "I have you and these two and that's all I'll ever need in life...well, plus our future kids, but you know, that's for another time." He winks back at me suggestively and I scoff loudly, scaring Danny, as he tenses up in my arms.

"Do you want more kids?" I ask him, walking over to the kitchen and pulling out 2 items from it that I'll know he'll probably be excited about. As I'm pulling the items out from the drawer, I catch sight of the diamond ring on the fourth finger of my left hand, and I smile. Every time I see it, it makes me think of how happy I am to be with him. I think of how happy he makes me, of how much he's given me, and how I wouldn't trade any of this for anything in the world. Even though we went through a lot of shit, it really ended up in the best way possible, and I'll be forever grateful for that.

"Of course I want more kids," he says, and I grin. "They're the best thing that's ever happened to me..." he looks up at me. "Besides you of course." I laugh, and take a seat next to him, letting Danny sit on my lap and play with my phone. I hide the items between Danny's body and mine where Caleb won't be able to see them.

"How many do you want?" I ask him, looking up into his beautiful green eyes.

"Hmmm," he begins, looking down at Michaela, who has her hands on her bottle. "Six would be nice."

"Six?" I question, unsure if I could even handle that many. He nods his head enthusiastically, and I roll my eyes. "It's a good thing we're halfway there then."

"Hah, yeah." He says, not yet catching onto my hint. He adjusts the bow on Michaela's head, a happy trace of a grin etched onto his face as it has been for quite some time.

I'm about to drop another hint when his head snaps up, and he looks me dead in the eye, the most serious of expressions on his face. "Wait, what did you just say?"

"I said, 'it's a good thing we're halfway there then,'"

"Three is half of six."

"Nice math skills."

"Enny, we have two kids."

"Good observation."

"Are you trying to tell me something here?" He asks me, and I take this as my cue to take out the items from in between Danny and me: a pregnancy test and a strip of black and white ultrasound pictures.

Caleb's jaw drops when he sees them, and it looks as if he might even cry. He doesn't, though, choosing to go for a kiss instead.

When he pulls away from the kiss, he looks at me, his eyes full of emotion. "You make me the happiest man in the world."

Alright, imma go now cuz my eyes are starting to hurt cuz it's nearing when I usually go to bed and I have the brightness pretty high and I kinda want to sleep but I wanted to finish this up tonight.
