Always Come First

Epilogue

10 months later

"She's so cute!"

"Let me hold her!"

"What did you name her again?"

"Everybody, hands off my baby!" yells Abbie as she sits in the middle of Brea's living room.

After everyone settles down in a circle around her, Abbie speaks again.

"So every, I want you to meet Quinn Katherine Devine."

Everyone 'ooo's' and 'ah's' at the little baby. She opens her eyes, and everyone is faced with the sparkling blue of Abbie's eyes.

"Abbie, she is precious." whispers Eleanor, giving her a squeeze of her hand.

"And to think that she is just over a month, its crazy!" squeals Danielle.

"She is gorgeous love." exclaims Abbie mom. She glances up, and beams up at her.

Abbie called her parents the day after the wedding, and apologized. They came back to visit, and then were staying for a few months after Quinn was born. Abbie was ecstatic to finally have her parents back in her life.

"Brea, if you don't get your big butt out here in thirty seconds, you are going to have to answer to me!" shouts Abbie up to Brea.

"Hold your horses, you crazy bitch." she calls back down.

Zayn laughs, and just leans back in his chair.

"You have no idea how long it takes her to get into that dress. I can't believe Kelly let her get it." he complains.

"At least with our wedding, we only needed suits." giggle Harry, glancing over at Louis who was playing with Quinn. Hopefully some day, they would adopt a baby of their own. Louis had always been great with kids.

"Where did Niall and Liam go?"

"They're probably out snogging in the back, again." laughs Danielle, and she falls back against Greg's chest. True love pops up everywhere.

"Hey, that's my baby brother you are talking about Dani." he warns.

"I'm not the one playing kissy face." she retorts. Greg scoops her face up in his large hands, and plants a kiss on her nose, which makes her giggle like a school girl.

"Alright, here I come!" announces Brea.

Suddenly, all you can see is white.

Brea walks down the stairs, Kelly bobbing behind her.

"That's brilliant Brea! I love it!" shouts Abbie, handing Quinn to Eleanor. Abbie rushes over, and gives Brea a massive hug.

"Careful, don't step on the train!" yells Kelly.

"Stop fretting you!" chides Abbie.

 Abbie pulls away, and takes a good look at Brea. The sweetheart neck line makes Brea's collarbone pop out and the delicate beading down the middle made her look like she had deeper curves. At the waist, the dress poufs out, and the train lies behind her effortlessly.

"It's really gorgeous Brea."

"Thank you." she answers simply.

Just then, Niall and Liam walk in, giggling and holding hands.

"Alright you whores go wash your hands before you touch my baby!" instructs Abbie.

"Oh love, what's the worst they could do?" asks Josh. "Wait, on second thought ... yeah mates, go wash your hands before you get anywhere near Quinn." he chuckles.

"Give us a spin!" cheers Danielle. Soon enough, everyone in the room is cheering.

"I'm gunna go put the baby down." suggest Josh, and Abbie follows. Josh scoops Quinn out of Eleanor's arms, and places her into Abbie's.

"Our lives have changed so much." Abbie says, rocking Quinn in her arms.

"It's brilliant." Josh agrees.

Abbie sighs, and lifts Quinn into the spare cradle at Brea and Zayn's house. She tucks her perfect baby in, and turns out the light. She and Josh walk back to the celebration, hand in hand.

They hear a glass clink, and hurry back into the room.

"Can I make a speech?" asks Niall, holding up his beer bottle and a spoon. Liam looks at the spoon with a grimace, and grabs Niall's hand.

"Guys, it's been an adventure. Between the beatings." he gestures to Louis and Harry. "The pregnancy." he gestures to Abbie and Josh. "The marriages." he again points to Louis and Harry, and to Zayn and Brea. "And the new relationships, and the rekindled ones." he smiles at Abbie's mom, and gives Greg a thumbs up and a wink. "It's been fun. We've had our ups and downs, but we've made the best of it. I am so glad to call you my friends." He faces the room with a smile. "And I am so glad to call Liam my boyfriend. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and he has taught me how to love myself and everyone around me." Niall clears his throat, and plants a kiss on Liam's forehead.

"I just want to finish up by saying that if you ever need anything, I'm always here to help. You guys are my best friends, and you will always come first."

Smiles break out in the room, kisses are given and hugs are exchanged.

"To the future!" calls out Liam.

"To the future!" everyone shouts back.

Niall turns to Liam, and wraps him in a hug.

"I love you Liam."

"And I love you Niall."

Liam kisses Niall on the lips softly and passionately, spreading his lips and closing them. A deep kiss, a true kiss. This kiss is a kiss above all kisses. It's a promise. A promise to love. A promise for the future. A promise to the best life they could ever live.

The End.
