The past six years have probably been some of the strangest years in Demi's life; she lost her mom and only a few years later her step-father also passed away but she gained a whole other family. Wilmer's family welcomed her back with open arms and it was almost as if she had never left. Sobeida almost immediately began treating Penelope like the grandchild she always begged Wilmer to give her. Despite the heartache she felt over the years, life was pretty good now.
'What you thinking about, nena?' Wilmer asks sitting down on the edge of the bed.
'Just how lucky I am to have you in my life.' She replies causing him to smile.
'I'm the lucky one... I'm going to go pick the munchkins up, okay?' He says and she glances over at the bassinet where their newborn son is sleeping.
'Okay. Tell Dallas I say hello and I'll phone her later.' She replies and he nods his head.
'I will do. Won't be long.' He says leaving the room. Four years ago, Demi gave birth to another beautiful little girl: Primrose Sobeida Valderrama.

'Mommy!' Penelope shouts running into the bedroom followed closely by Primrose causing Demi to smile. Despite having different fathers the two girls look remarkably similar.
'Hey, girls. Do you want to come meet your baby brother?' Demi asks patting the space beside her. Both girls climb onto the bed just as Wilmer makes his way into the room.
'I said you two had to be careful around mommy.' Wilmer says.
'They're fine. They want to meet baby brother, do you?' Demi replies and Wilmer smiles. He lifts the newborn out of the bassinet and carefully places him in Demi's arms.
'Penny, Prim... This is Theodore.' Demi says leaning down and kissing the little boy's head.
'Theo?' Penelope asks and Demi nods her head.
'We can call him Theo if you like.' She replies smiling.
'Did you have fun at auntie Dallas' house?' Demi asks glancing at her daughters.
'We made cookies.' Penelope replies. Months after Eddie passed away, Demi and Wilmer packed up their house and moved to Dallas to be nearer Madison who moved in with them for a while before getting her own place.
'Can I hold Theo?' Penelope asks and Demi nods her head. Wilmer helps Penelope get comfy before he places the newborn in her arms. Demi can't stop the tears from filling her eyes as Primrose ever so softly places a kiss on the little boy's head.

'Do you want to introduce Theo to the world?' Wilmer asks glancing at the side of the bed where all three of the kids are; it's been three hours since the girls got to meet their baby brother and it's been the most magical three hours of their lives.
'Sure.' Demi replies smiling. Grabbing her phone she quickly takes a picture before beginning to upload it to Instagram.
And just like that our family was complete... Theodore Eduardo Valderrama; 6lbs 3oz of pure perfection 💙
'You okay?' Wilmer asks watching as Demi reaches to wipe a tear from her cheeks.
'Yeah, just happy.' She replies smiling. She curls into his side as they both glance over at the kids; Penelope knows that Wilmer isn't her biological father but he'll always be her dad and that's all the matters.
I know this is a pretty short ending and it's been a pretty short story but I never really intended this to be a story just a oneshot but I hope that you've all enjoyed it and that the ending is the way you wanted it to end.
