Fourth of July

Epilogue

I stood at the altar, smiling as I watched everyone walk down the aisle. Next came the flower girl and ring bearer. Gee and Miles came out and I grinned. Gee had on a frilly pink dress and Miles had his own little fancy black suit. They walked down the aisle and Miles ran forward into my arms. I smiled as I picked him up.

"Hi there, buddy," I said.

"Hi, Daddy," Miles said.

"Alright, go stand by Uncle Evan now," I said.

I set him down and he smiled as he sat on the ground next to Evan. I looked over and saw that Gee had stopped in the middle of the aisle and looked into his little white wicker basket. He pulled out a rose petal and looked it over before putting it into his mouth. He gasped, spitting it out. He dropped the basket and ran back to where he came from.

"Mommy! It doesn't taste good!" Gee cried.

He ran back down the aisle as people chuckled. I heard whispering before Gee came back out and ran to jump in my arms. I chuckled softly and sat him down next to Miles. He sniffled as the two sat quietly, playing with their toys and eating little snacks.

The wedding march started playing and I looked up. Jamia came into the room and my whole mouth went dry. God, she looked beautiful. Her strapless dress was covered by a white shawl, held closed with a little black bow. The dress ended at her ankles and I could see her dainty little white shoes. Her hair and makeup was done perfectly, a white veil on her head.

Jamia had been shot in the shoulder but it's been a few years now and it was perfectly healed, only leaving a wicked scar that I thought was pretty cool. Gee's kidnapper got away but he hasn't come back since and hopefully he never will.

It felt like years before they finally got up and I could hold Jamia's hands. I was grinning so much my cheeks actually hurt and she looked just as happy as the priest started talking.

"Mommy, you look pretty," Gee said, interrupting the priest.

"Thank you, Baby Boy," Jamia said.

He smiled proudly before turning back to his five year old brother.

"So cute," I mumbled.

The priest continued on and as Gee became impatient he laid down in the middle of the aisle. It took forever, I just wanted to be able to be married to the most beautiful girl in the world.

"I now pronounce You husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride," the priest finally said.

I smiled, pulling her close to press my lips against hers.

"Ew!" Gee exclaimed and Miles copied him.

I laughed and walked back down the aisle as people clapped. I picked Gee up so he wouldn't get stepped on, holding him on my hip. Miles chased after us And we walked out of the building. We took some quick wedding pictures before heading to the reception hall.

"I love you, Mrs. Iero," I said, giving Jamia a kiss and she giggled happily.

"I love you too," she said.

Gee and Miles ran around the reception hall, shrieking happily as they played. Everyone danced and talked happily together as the night grew on. I stood on the dance floor with Jamia, the two of us swaying together softly.

"Mommy! Mommy! I wanna dance with you," Miles exclaimed.

Jamia pulled away, smiling softly as she turned to Miles. The DJ turned on a more upbeat song and the two danced together. I looked around for Gee and frowned when I couldn't find him.

"Hey, Evan, have you seen Gee?" I asked.

He shook his head and I scowled as I looked around. I looked under a table and smiled when I saw him hiding behind the table cloth with a cupcake in each hand.

"Baby Boy, What are you doing?" I asked.

"Want One?" He asked, holding one out.

His face was covered in the soft pink frosting and he looked excited.

"How many cupcakes did you take?" I asked.

"I don't know, Daddy," he said.

I decided to just leave him, let him have fun for the night. When the night came to an end Evan took my kids back to his house, leaving us alone at our own house.

"Frank, I have a little gift for you," Jamia said.

"A gift?" I asked.

She nodded, sitting me down on the foot of the bed. She went into the closet and I smirked.

"If you come out in lingerie then this will be the best night ever," I said.

"I will but not just yet," she said.

She came out with a little box and I frowned. I took it in my hands and pulled off the lid. I picked up the little stick, my heart racing.

"Y-You're pregnant?" I squealed.

"Yeah, I got it confirmed by a doctor two days ago," she said. "God, I wanted to tell you so badly but I thought it might make you more nervous, this has been the longest two days ever."

I looked below it and found an ultrasound picture.

"This looks different than Miles," I remarked. "Why are there two circles."

Jamia giggled and I looked at her.

"No, no, shut up," I muttered. "Are you serious?! We're having twins?!"

She nodded and I shrieked happily, wrapping my arms around her as I crashed my lips against his.

"Okay, Okay," she said when we calmed down. "Now your next present for the actual lingerie."

I smiled happily, watching her go into the closet. Everything was just falling into place, my whole family was just perfect.
