Back At Their Side (completed)

Part Twenty Five - Epilogue - Five Years Later

POV Tara
Life was good, I decided to myself as I watched our sons Alexander and Henry run round the garden with their fathers chasing them whilst I rubbed circles on my again swollen stomach where our daughter was growing.
Only a month to go, I smiled watching them, our sons born eighteen months apart each one showing signs of their fathers, we didn't need a test to see, Alex was clearly Phil's and Henry was a mini Matt, both previous pregnancies we had not wanted to know the gender in advance but this time I wanted go be ready and everyone was when we found out this time it was a girl.
POV Matt
Having chased around for a while, I gathered the boys and led them back to where Tara was resting in the shade, smiling as I looked down on our beautiful wife, the last few years and motherhood had made her more attractive with a serenity that came from being happy.
It hadn't been an easy road since we bonded, a few people had made crass comments but we had dealt with them swiftly.
Caroline had married an American before she left Aspen and was a kept wife, she never returned to England, not even for Brian's funeral.
Brian had been convicted of the intent to supply drugs despite his claiming not guilty, he had tried to barter a deal, giving out information about two mafia families he had been laundering money for, they dealt a swift fatal justice whilst he was still negotiating his deal, no one wept for him.
Janet had also moved on, she married a plastic surgeon and moved to Florida never trying to contact Tara again, though Tara still occasionally sees her step sister at charity events it polite chatter and nothing that puts Tara at risk.
I watched the boys crowded round their mummy stroking her stomach and talking to their sister inside, I smiled remembering how the boys had barged into our room as I was nibbling Tara's clit, we had covered it up saying I was talking to the baby, the boys now did this too daily, though not in the same way we did, we now lock the door.
POV Philip
The boys talk to Tara's stomach as Matt leans down to kiss the top of her head, her hand coming up to catch his.
My family, I thought my heart feeling full as I watched them interact as I brought the tray of nibbles and drinks over and joined them.
Tara's eyes caught mine "I love you" she said her eyes softening as she looked at all of us.
"Group hug" Alex shouted as he and Henry cuddled her, Matt and I laughed and moved to cage our family within our arms laughing as Henry squeals as the baby moves under his hand "mummy! daddy's! she hugs too" and we all laugh together.
