The Abused Mate

Chapter 24 - Epilogue

4 Years Later

Claire's Pov

I was in the kitchen cooking dinner for my family when I hear the front door open.

"Come on guys, we gotta go sit down before your mum comes and gets you both. You know what she's like", I heard Jasper speaking. I just rolled my eyes at his comment.

Yes, as I'm sure you've guessed I'm a mum now with two beautiful little children. A boy, and a girl.

I heard little giggles as all three of them came into the dining room, the kids sat down while Jasper came over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Hey beautiful, how long till dinner?", I laughed.

"Not long, maybe like 5 more minutes, then I'll be dishing it out", Jasper leaned in and kissed my cheek before he sat down with our kids, talking to them and making them laugh.

I never thought I'd be a mother, and believe me, me and Jasper had our problems when I had found out I was pregnant with our little boy Elijah.

I freaked out and kept saying I wasn't ready to be a parent and that I didn't think I would be a good parent as I didn't have the best parent role model after my mother and brother died and my father changed for the worse.

But we worked our way through it all with the help and support from our friends and family.

And now I have two little crazy kids running round the house keeping me and Jasper on our toes, but it's good. I wouldn't change it for the world.

And after Elijah was born, maybe it was about 10 months after, I found out I was pregnant with our little girl Isabella. I know right, Jasper moves pretty quickly.

When the family found out about the first pregnancy, they were so excited it went through the roof. Jasper's mother already started talking about how she was going to spoil them, and be around them lots. I had only been pregnant for just over a month and she was already talking about that, I had another 8 to 9 months to go.

But she lived up to her promise of spoiling them, when she found out about Isabella she upped her game and spoiled them twice as much.

She would spoil them that much when she saw them that I had to put a limit on how much she could give them, even though she still pushes that boundary every time even to this day she still pushes it. But I don't mind most the time, she's gotten better and the kids love their grandparents on Jasper's side obviously. They don't know about my parents, they're too young, but I will tell them one day of the good happy times where there was a mated couple who loved their children very much.

And I'm sure when that day comes I'll cry like a little girl but try to smile as I do. But they don't need to know about all the things their other grandfather did, they can stay in the past.

I dished up the plates then took them all over to the table and sat down with my small family, smiling at each one of them.

They all started to dig into their food while I looked at my beautiful kids for a moment longer as they blew on their food to cool it down before sticking it in the mouths and eating it.

These two will never ever have to go through what I did, and I'll make sure of it.

Jasper was sitting beside me and I felt something on my thigh, I looked down and saw Jasper had put his hand there and was smiling, then I realized our mind link was open and that he had heard most of what I had just said...

My cheeks turned a light red shade before I heard inside my head...

"They will have happy lives as long as we both look after them. And they are indeed beautiful, you gave birth to them after all. And I plan to make you as happy as you could ever be for the rest of our lives, that mission became top priority the day you said yes to get married to me. And to care for our pups too of course", he was smiling at me while I was still blushing at parts of his comment.

"They're doing that thing again! They're talking to each other and leaving us out of it!", Elijah spoke up as he looked at us both, pointing his fork at us because that was what he was holding at the time. 

Isabella was just looking between us and Elijah as she slowly ate her dinner still.

Both me and Jasper looked at each other before our heads turned to look at Elijah again and we laughed at his reaction.

I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder, looking at our children as I replied.

"Whatever you say tough guy", then I chuckled as I started to eat my dinner alongside my family like I would for the rest of my life.

The End...

I know it's short, but I couldn't really think of any other way to end it nicely :)
