Falling - COMPLETED

45 - Epilogue

10 YEARS LATER:

I laid in the sun, rested between Jacksons legs - my back to his chest as he leant up against Tylers Oak tree, watching our beautiful family I couldn't help but smile,

"What are you thinking about beautiful?" Oh my gorgeous husband, getting older definitely agreed with Jax, the man got even hotter with age and at 34 he still looked very much like the bad boy from school minus the lip ring he removed when Kennedy became fascinated with it and wanted nothing more than to pull at it each time she was in her fathers arms, his hair was shorter now and tattoos covered pretty much the entire top half of his body.
He had done very well for himself, spending the last 10 years focusing on building his business he actually expanded the shop purchasing two more in neighbouring towns he owned 3 in total, he appointed managers in the other 2 and does weekly visits to ensure things are running smoothly.

Sophia and Graham got married 7 years ago, they had purchased a block of land building themselves a lovely little 3 bedroom home that Sophia had always dreamed of having, the extra rooms being for grandkids to sleep over if they wanted.

My Mum and Dad slowly came back into the picture, me being the one that didn't want to rush into anything, and while I don't think anything will ever be quite the same I am glad my children know their other set of grandparents.

Jax's birth father reached out to him a few years ago, he is living on the coast remarried to a much younger girl, like much much younger, like younger than Jackson. 
They were speaking on the phone and actually made plans to meet up one day when he had came to town to see Jackson, it didn't end well for him though when he let it slip that he had heard of Tylers passing when it happened but decided it was in everyones best interest to not get involved, like seriously... Jackson hasn't seen or spoken to him since. 

And for me, well no surprises to anyone but 6 weeks after Jax and I were married we found out we were expecting baby number 4.
Deacon William Archer was born on October 10th that year and as with all these Archer boys was an absolute dead ringer for his Dad, currently 9 years old he is the artist in the family, he has a fascination for music and is able to produce a decent sound out of pretty much any instrument he picks up, he also has a talent for drawing but his passion at the moment is music, he is a beautiful boy with a soft, kind heart. 

2 years later, we had another addition to the family, Hudson Matthew Archer - Kennedy was devastated when we found out we were having another boy being the only girl she would now have to survive 4 brothers , but when he arrived on July 15th his flock of dark hair, olive skin and big grey eyes she instantly fell in love with him, until he started walking and talking back, now they have more of a love hate relationship.
Hudson is an outdoor kid, as long as he isn't cooped up inside he is happy, At the age of 7 he is in his 3rd year of soccer, 2nd year of cricket, does swimming once a week and this year he joined little athletics with a passion for running - all his choosing of course, he is very talented at soccer but we work with him constantly to ensure he remains a good sportsmen and team player. 

Greyson was 15 years old now, and a replica of everything Tyler Archer, he was over 6ft tall and catching Jackson quickly, he kept his hair cut short and spiked up, and those emerald green eyes made my days brighter and each time I looked into them I would smile at the thought of how proud Tyler would be of him.
Grey took pride in himself, he loved football and worked hard to keep his place on the senior footy team even though he was still a junior. Grey and Ash had a great relationship, often attending events, parties etc together they looked out for each other, according to Jax it reminded him of his relationship with Tyler when they were younger.
Jackson and I told Grey about Tyler around a year ago, it didn't change his relationship with Jackson, Ty still idolises him, but he did ask for copies of some pictures I had of him with Tyler when he was a baby and placed them in his room, he also makes weekly visits to the Oak tree and sometimes he will ask questions about him and what he was like which we always answer.
