*reminder: Nerah and Zach are grown-ups. This is kind of like the epilogue. Wow, that makes me sad. Like this is the official, official ending. wow*

Nerah:

"Mommy!" Anthony screamed.

"Yes?!" I turned around slightly startled. "What's wrong?"

"Mateo!"

"Mateo, share the cookie with your brother," I said turning back to making breakfast.

"Did I just hear cookie?" Zach asked as he walked down the stairs dressed in his iconic black jeans and a black t-shirt, matched with his checkered Vans. He was a 21-year-old man who still dressed like a 17-year-old kid. I sighed.

"No," I lied continuing to flip the pancakes.

"Nerah, you know how I feel about the kids eating sweets in the morning," he said snatching the cookie from Mateo's hands and popping it in his mouth. I sighed and grabbed an oreo for each of the boys from the pantry.

"And you know how I feel about you eating the kid's food!" He smirked and placed a kiss on my cheek. "Besides, you used to feed Faye and Edith chocolate for breakfast when they were younger."

"But that was Faye and Edith..." I rolled my eyes. "I have my own kids now. And I'd really like to raise them to be healthy and be good citizens of America."

"You're such a dad." He laughed and leaned back on the counter watching me make breakfast.

"The pancakes look good."

"Thank you. Will you please set the table?" I asked. He nodded and looked through the cupboards for plates.

He grabbed four plates and set them out.

"You forgot a plate," I said.

"I'm not eating breakfast with you guys today," he said softly.

"Again?" I asked looking back at him in disbelief.

"The guys and I have a very early studio meet today."

"Is that a regular thing now? Because that's what you said yesterday and the day before."

"Nerah..."

"How long will you be gone?" I asked.

"I'll be home around 6."

"6?!"

"Sorry..." He apologized. I sighed.

"It's fine, you big baby," I said getting on my tippy toes and wrapping my arms around his neck. I placed a kiss on his lips. "I love you."

"I love you too."

...

I sat on the couch while helping Mateo and Anthony with their ABC's and numbers.

"Okay, Tony, what letter is this?" I asked pointing at the C.

"Cat!" He giggled.

"That's what it stands for, but what's the letter?" I asked.

"Cat!" He stated proudly.

"C, dumbass," Mateo said pusing Anthony.

"Mateo!" I scolded. "Don't say that word!"

"Daddy-"

"I don't care what Daddy says. You don't say that word, okay?"

"Otay, sowwy Mommy." I sighed.
