Love is Complicated

Epilogue

10 YEARS LATER.....

"Mommy, mommy!" She came running from the playground.

"Nya, slow down before you fall!" I told her as I unconsciously rubbed my swollen belly.

Hunter stood and ran to his little angel. She was a splitting image of her father. She had his blond locks and paler skin but my bright green eyes. He lifted her in the air. She was barely seven but had already gotten her wolf under some control because and I quote "I don't want to attack the baby on asident." She couldn't quiet say accident.

Having her had been so nerve racking but once I got through it I was sure I could do it again. Besides, Hunter wanted his boy. I wanted to keep it a surprise but at my next doctor's appointment we would be able to determine what the sex of the baby was.

I looked at my family and couldn't imagine my life going any other way. I was so glad I had broken social 'law' to be with the man that I love. My animalistic nature and my wolf couldn't give a damn about human tradition and social modesty.

"So what names have you thought of?" Hunter said, walking over to me, bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked down at the pad of paper.

"Um, there is John, which you suggested. Hunter Jr, also yours. Channing. Chris," I smiled as I thought of how I had come up with that. I remember the first time I had seen Hunter in just a towel and how he had looked as muscular as Chris Evans.

"Why do you look like you are fantasizing about me N-A-K-E-D?" He smiled broadly.

"Maybe because I am," I said with a smirk.

"How about Seth if it is a boy or maybe Sam and Nya Jr. if it's a girl." Nya suggested interrupting out sexual staring.

"Not Sam," I said a little too quickly. I hadn't seen the man in about ten years and I wasn't going to name my child after him. I didn't want him to think I wasn't over him because I was completely over him.

"Honey, Nya Jr. is a lovely suggestion but we can't name the baby that. It would be too confusing to have two Nya's," Hunter tried to explain to our daughter.

She nodded and ran off to continue playing.

Hunter reached over and rubbed my belly. I felt the baby kick his warm hand.

"Whoa, it kicked," he said with a fatherly smile. Nya hadn't been to eager to kick for him, while in the womb, and even so it had been years ago and so the feeling was now a fresh sensation.

"Do you ever think what would have happened had I not been here to stay?" I suddenly asked. I always thought about how my life would have turned out had I returned to Cali to live with my friend Steph, like she had asked me too.

"I would have had less time to get you to change your mind," he said looking at me. "I was trying so hard to keep it just a brother/sister relationship but you didn't make it easy." I nodded.

"You didn't make it a walk in the park either."

"Well, when you go for a walk in parks, you have the tendency to run into wolves." He pointed out what had crossed my mind when I had said that.

"True story."

"Either way, I'm glad things turned out the way they did. I was seriously upset that you didn't want to be a werewolf, but I tried to be understanding," he said, looking out at Nya on the swings.

"Well that understanding didn't really have to last too long, now did it?" I shot back.

"Good thing too. Otherwise....." He motioned towards my lovely daughter and then my growing belly.

"I'm glad too. I'm so happy and it's not just the hormones." I smiled and kissed my husband long and hard. I was glad I was going to grow old with this wonderful man.

"We sure did get our happy ending didn't we?" I asked him.

"Ending? Love, we aren't even in the middle of our story!" With that, he got up to go get Nya to head home.

Our home with my love and my family.

Author's Note:

I thought about this story a lot and I wanted to show how they were with their family and all. This doesn't indicate a sequel in any way but I thought I left it a little unfinished. Now I think it is complete, maybe. I don't know if I should bring Sally and Greg into it or not.

Oh well. This will do for now.
