16 years later.

"mom?" jasmine called as she walked down the stairs

"mhm yeh what's up?" i asked, she walked into the room i was in a let out a sigh

"jack took ethan away from me again" she replied, ethan, ethan was the twins best friend, he lived next door and they've known each other since they were what like two

"your uncle max used to do the same with your dad" i said looking up at her

"wait what?" she asked

"how did you and dad even meet?" she added

"we were best friends" i shrugged

"nana alice and nana joanne were best friends aswell i think they met in high school, they got pregnant at the same time and yeh we've been best friends ever since" i explained

"wait really? i never knew that" she replied

"mhm yep" i nodded

"when did you finally get together then?" she asked

"when did who get together?" payton asked walking into the room, he had our other daughter eden in his arms

"you and mom" she said

"when we were sixteen" i answered

"had you guys at nineteen, moved in here at twenty one, got married at twenty five and finally had eden at thirty one" payton said, he looked down at our four year old, she shoved her head into his chest a let out a giggle

"how come you never told me this stuff" she said

"i don't know" i shrugged

"momma!" eden called making grabby hands towards me, i carefully grabbed her out of payton's arms and placed her on my hip, she cuddled into me and looked up over at jasmine

"jasmine!" ethan screamed while running down the stairs, he ran into the room and straight away pulled her into a hug

"hi" she laughed

"hello angel" he replied, me and payton both turnt and looked at each other before a smile took over both off our faces

there was no denying that those two where made for each other, there was something there and you could probaly tell by the first five minutes off knowing them

"where's jack?" she asked looking up at him

"upstairs, he got boring" he nodded

"what and i'm not?" she replied, a laugh leaving her lips shortly after

"of course not" he said, a smile spread across her face and she shoved her head back into his chest

"that's cute" eden giggled

"you're cute" ethan smiled gently tickling her cheek, she let out a loud giggle and once again shoved her head into my chest

jasmine pulled out off the hug and gave me a look

"what?" she asked

"nothing" i smiled, ethan wrapped an arm around her and not seconds later footsteps where heard running down the stairs

"ah the love birds i see you" ethan smiled walking into the room

"shut up" jasmine scoffed

"no" he replied

"yes" she said

"no thank you jasmine i'm good" he smirked

"definitely heard this argument before once or twice" payton said looking over at me

"yeh well dad you're about to here it for a third time, jack shut the fuck up!" jasmine said

"make me" jack replied

"why don't you both just shut up" i said

"that sounds like a good idea" ethan nodded

"he's just jealous because i'm the one out of to two off us to get ethan" jasmine sassed

"and what's that supposed to mean?" payton asked

"oh jazzy don't kid yourself or ethan, i have a type and funny enough it's not that" jack replied giving ethan a like disgusted look

"hey what do you mean i'm not your type?" ethan asked clearly offended, me and payton once again shared a look before looking over at jack

"edgy skater white boys don't cut it for me sorry e" he smiled

"and what is your type?" i asked

"cute, beautiful, feminine boys" he nodded

"boys?" payton asked

"well boys and girls" he said

"you knew?" payton asked looking up at jasmine

"he doesn't exactly hide it, look he's wearing my crop top!" she replied

"well i mean clothes don't have a gender i didn't think nothing off it" i shrugged, payton nodding, agreeing with what i was saying

"are you mad?" jack asked looking up at us

"god no, no way" i said, i placed eden on the kitchen island and straight away pulled him into a hug

"i love you so much, and i will never stop, you love who you love jack, i will never stop supporting you" i added, he let out a shaky breathe and looked over at payton

"dad?" he questioned

"mhm?" payton said

"i'm sorry" he whispered

"hey don't apolog-"

"no don't apologise, like your mom said, i love you and i'm never going to stop, you love who you love" he replied, cutting me off

he walked over towards us both and wrapped his arms around us

"you are you and i love you and support you no matter who you love" he said

"thank god" jack mumbled

"i love you jacky!" eden screamed, he pulled away from me and payton and walked over to eden

"love you tooo edey" he replied, payton wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pulled me into his chest

"i'm sorry for completely outing you j" jasmine mumbled

"you're just a bitch" he replied

"yeh i know" she nodded

"but i love you and i'm sorry" she said

"i love you too and it's okay" he mumbled

"i'm still quite offended i'm not your type but yeh i love you and i'm proud of you" ethan nodded

"well suck it up and loves you toooooo" jack said

"it's good e, you're my type" jasmine nodded looking up at him

"and you're my type" he smiled looking down at her, he gave her a quick peck on the cheek making her smile like so brightly

"i love you" payton smiled looking down at me

"i love you" i replied, he quickly pecked my lips and placed his on top of mine

"gross" eden mumbled

"i know right like ew" jack laughed
