The Girl That No One Noticed...

Epilogue

*One Year Later*

Sang

It was hard to believe we had been living in the big farm house for a little over 8 months now, it had taken three months just to get the place liveable again but I loved it. I loved how we all had our own places to escape too if we needed some space, and the 10 acres provided enough room for all 7 of the adult dogs but I should probably explain that increase of number.

It started off with how I had gotten into a small argument with my crazy Russian husband and he had gone out only to bring three young female husky sisters home to me in apology. The rest of the guys had not loved that considering we already had four large dogs running around the place but I fell in love with the three girls and talked the guys into letting me keep them.

There was Ruby with red and white fur, Sapphire with black and white fur and my personal favorite of the three girls Diamond who had pure white fur and looked like a miniature snow wolf, they already had their names when we got them. They were about 10 months old when Raven brought them home and no one thought to mention the fact that they had not been fixed. So that was how my three male dogs paired off with the three females and so many months later we had a house full of pups.

Duke had two pups with Ruby, Billy had two pups with Sapphire and Nuka and Diamond had three adorable babies themselves, to say the least we were getting the girls fixed as soon as possible otherwise we were going to need a bigger house VERY soon. The pups were already going on 7 weeks old now and we already knew where they were going. Duke and Ruby's two boys were going to Will and Kara since she had fallen in love with them and Will couldn't say no.

Then Billy and Sapphire's daughter was going to Angela and their son to Uncle Phil. One of Nuka and Diamond's boys was going to Brock and they already had a bond to each other, while their only daughter was headed to Uncle's Diner as a pet for him. That left the last son of Nuka's litter, he was a spitfire of a pup and almost an exact mini replica of his father. He had a naughty temper and disliked everyone but me, so much like his father, so I kind of forced the guys on letting me keep him and named him Baron.

I smiled as I watched the 7 dogs and 7 puppies running and playing in the field outside, Max and Nuka still best buddies. I was currently home alone since the guys were out on a mission that didn't need me for once, I had gotten used to taking a few solo jobs myself from time to time although it was often with a lot of objections from the others. I loved doing the work helping others but sometimes it took away from our time together as a family so no matter what happened we all agreed to have a game night at least once a week, and tonight was my night to make the game plans.

Sometimes Will and Kara would come too but seeing as how she was pregnant with their first child Will was being overly cautious about everything so it would just be the guys and me tonight. I already knew the first game I had plans for and I had all of the needed shirts prepared for the guys to figure out the little puzzle, looking at the sheet of paper results I couldn't help the grin on my face before I tucked it away once more.

I was surprised how fast the time had passed as I looked at the clock and headed in to start making enough food for everyone so we could eat and get to playing as soon as possible. "Cupcake Baron showed North where my candy stash was!" Luke wailed as he came in holding the growling pup away from him at arms length. "Oh you poor baby, we all know that wasn't the only stash, and how many times do I have to tell you don't leave anything in puppy reach unless you want to loose it." I sighed taking Baron, smiling as he stopped growling and nestled into my arms.

I called a greeting to all of the guys as they stepped in and gave a quick kiss to each of them before letting Baron down to play with his siblings. "So what games are we playing tonight Trouble?" Gabe quizzed as he leaned against the counter. "You'll see." I hummed sending a teasing glance their way. "It's not Twister is it?" North asked going a bit pale, and I couldn't help but laugh at his expression. I had played the game a few times with the guys but the second time North had joined the little game he sustained an injury to the groin area so now he treated the game like the plague.

"Nope." I replied popping the p with a smirk. "That face is the scary face, Trouble there better not be snakes involved!" Gabe yelped out, by now all the guys knew my revenge capabilities, that's kind of why the Russian gave me dogs for an apology to get back on my good side. "Don't worry you guys are good, for now." I hummed off mysteriously, giggling when I saw a few of them gulp nervously.

"Well let's eat." I ordered as we all hurried through the meal I made and headed to the living room to officially begin game night. "Alright guys I made up my own quick little game here, you each will get a t-shirt with a letter on it and will all have to work together to put them in the correct order. Once they are all together you have to figure out what it means." I said as I passed the shirts around to the guys, pulling my sweater tighter around me with a sly smile as the guys got to work on the puzzle.

"Okay so we have a G, O, S, T, B, R, D, K, H, I, C, C, I, H, so what words would those make?" Kota wondered as he wrote the letters out on paper. "I got one GHOSTBIRD is one word so that leaves K, H, C, C, I." Corey rushed out and I nodded at him to continue. "CHICK! That's it right?" Marc asked my way and I grinned in answer. "So you're referring to yourself as a Ghostbird Chick now?" Raven asked and I couldn't help but sigh, technically I was one but that wasn't the point.

"Well since you love this Ghostbird chick so much how about adding..." I was about to continue when they all cut me off. "No more dogs!" I couldn't help but chuckle at them still not quite understanding what I meant. "Sure.... but you guys should know your missing a letter." I snickered to myself as they looked through the shirts not finding anything. I decided they had been played with enough and removed my sweater to reveal my own white shirt with the letter S on it, but also a special detail of two arrows pointing directly at my stomach.

"It's not exactly animals we'll be adding." I murmured to the silent room, they all stared at me in confusion before I saw the understanding set in, Sean was the first to get it though. "Pookie is this real?" he looked ready to cry as I nodded. "I was kind of curious since I was feeling a bit weird lately so I had Phil check it for me and well...." I trailed off as I handed the paper over to him and he really did start crying. "You're pregnant." Owen breathed out as multiple jaws dropped.

Well guys that can happen when you're in an intimate relationship and my chances were multiplied considering I had 14 idiotic husbands. "Yep and the whole chick thing is plural by the way." I smiled happily. "Twins!" all of them exclaimed at once as I nodded, at least they understood that much. "We're going to be parents?! Wait that means we have to get baby stuff and....."North stated to ramble and Gabe joined him urgently, I shook my head as the room burst into ideas and cheers among other things.

I scratched at Nuka's ears as he took his seat loyally at my side, watching my guys with a smile on my face. I knew for a fact these babies of ours would be loved and cared for by every single one of us. We were all starting a new chapter in our lives, a new chapter in our relationship and I knew it was going to be the greatest and most amazing mission any of us had ever had to face, Parenthood.

~~~Well that is sadly the end of this story, hope you liked it. What do you think of it now it's over?~~~
