Blue, Ricardo, Nico, Caspen, Axel, Topaz

After everything had been settled with TDF Blue and Ricardo kept their promises. They made sure that Sandy's, which was renamed Higher Bar, went under the proper construction. They got rid of everything, the old pool tables, and sticks, the poker tables, they even went so far as to pull out the bar, not only that but they also added more room to the old place. They tore out the farthest wall and was able to add so much more room so that it wasn't as crowded and everything wasn't on top of each other.

The pool tables, each had black covering with white and blue pool sticks to match. The poker tables were each decorated accordingly with the same colors in order to keep everything color coordinated. Finally, the old rustic bar was traded in for a sleek clear bar that you could see tiny fish swimming around under your cocktails and it was slightly longer than the old one. Old glasses were exchanged out for more modern ones, and now there were mini chairs and tables for seating and finally the old fight club was still there, but it had its share of renovations also. It got a new octagon, and there were now chairs and tables so if you wanted to sit and order a drink you had the option too.

Also, just because Blue and Ricardo were renovating a bar and had three boys already didn't mean that they weren't trying for another kid. When the boys were three Blue found out she was pregnant with a beautiful baby girl, and they ended up naming her Topaz Sage. She had hair just like her momma, but that was about it, she was a spitting image of her father and Ricardo was more than happy to have a baby girl that he could spoil rotten. Then a month after she was born, they finally got one more baby, not a human, but a puppy husky that had a coat that seemed like it was snow. They ended up naming the husky Kovu.

After having Topaz Blue realized she didn't want to keep on doing missions all the time and having to fight the bad guys at all times of the day because she wouldn't be able to see her kids as often as she wanted to. She she decided to take a major step back from what she was used to, and started training young vigilantes like her and aside from that opening up her own custom knife business. "Knives from the Blue, " she named it. Sure, she probably had a mission, but it just turned out to be once or twice every few months and she was happy with that she was happy and more than content.

King, Naomi, Apollo

A few months after TDF was tied up Naomi gave birth to a handsome little boy named, Apollo. He was the perfect mix of his parents and they both loved him dearly. He also played well with his younger cousins. King and Naomi both agreed that one child was enough for them and they were both more than happy with that decision.

Once Apollo was five months both King and Naomi agreed that it was time for the both of them to go back to work. Naomi was hesitant, but eventually made her way back into the doctor's office working on broken down patients, and she even became Chief of Surgery which was an amazing achievement for her.

King decided that yes he did love missions, but he had a son now and he wanted to be there for him so he asked Park if he could step down from out of state missions and if he could only have a few missions once a year. Not only that, but Park even made him a head fighting technique trainer. So King spent his work time at headquarters training people on how to fight better and smarter.

Gamble, Raven, Willow, Winter, Iris

Though it was a hard decision ultimately Gamble decided to divorce Andrea. Don't get him wrong, he still cared for her, but he just couldn't forgive her for what she said, she knew those words were what was going to change the course of their relationship and she took that risk. So a year after the divorce, he met Raven. A beautiful mixed woman who was just two years younger than him. He met her at Higher Bar, and she was playing poker along with him and since then they just got closer. He found himself, letting her in more than he did Andrea amd the result of that was a marriage and two twin baby girls, Willow and Winter, and then a year later after that Raven gave birth again to a baby girl name Iris.

Since Gamble was now a father of three he just like his brother and cousin were sure that doing missions every night was not what he wanted to do so he talked to Park to see what he could do instead. To his surprise Park was deciding to step-down and he wanted Gamble to take his role head person of the corporation, and Gamble was more than ecstatic to take that role. He had an amazing family and a great job life couldn't be better.

Everyone

So because the adults all had children now and they still needed time to themselves after every potluck dinner the grandparents, Nicole, and Damien watched the kiddos while they all headed to the bar.

"Ok, Nico I need you to be good you are the ringleader of this quad and they essentially follow after you so I need you to act like a smart, responsible eight year old. Caspen, you are the second oldest and the smartest, you are the Simon in this family of chipmunks. Make sure your siblings are doing what they are supposed to do at all times and if not you know how to handle it. Axel, I just need you to make smart decisions regardless of what you really want to do, and Topaz just be you." Blue demanded from all of the children. They all looked at her with gleaming smiles.

"Yes, mommy." They all replied. Then Ricardo came by and both parents gave each child a kiss and a hug.

"We love you guys and be respectful." Ricardo added as they headed to the door and their children ran off.

Then King rounded up his son Apollo with Naomi right by his side.

"Ok, Apollo you are going to be here with your cousins, you know what you are allowed to do and what you aren't allowed to do, are we clear." King asked his son with a fatherly stern look on his face.

"Yes, sir. Love you guys." Apollo replied as he gave them both a hug and his mother kiss before running off to find his cousins.

"Alright my babies, I expect nothing but the best from you three. I mean after all you three are the best kids here. So be smart I love you three and look out for each other." Gamble told his girls. They each nodded their heads in compliance and gave him a kiss on the cheek before they ran over to hug their mother.

"Alright, go, we will handle the little munchkins, you guys go and have fun." Damien encouraged as he practically shoved all of the adults out of the door.

"Ok, you all heard my dad, and the chariot awaits." Gamble smiled as he pointed towards the limo, and all of them rushed to the car hopping in.

"We have come such a long way." King began.

"Oh crap someone is getting sentimental." Blue teased as she snuggled deeper into her husband's chest.

"Shut up. What I am saying is that we have come so far in life. From the teens who assumed their only family was dead, but turned out that they weren't dead, then getting gassed by the two people we hated most in the world, then getting kidnapped and having our family's being held over our heads. Now look at us Blue and Ricardo have a whole tribe now, Gamble got remarried and she is a nice addition to the family, and we aren't doing missions as much, and we can't forget Gamble being our boss." King stated.

"Ugh, I think I hate that last part the most." Blue grumbled.

"Oh please, you know you love having me as your boss." Gamble rebutted.

"In your dream." Blue sighed.

"A toast. To family, marriage, and murder." King smiled as he put his drink in the middle.

"TO FAMILY, MARRIAGE, AND MURDER." They all cheered as the drive continued. Everyone was happy with their life they accomplished what they wanted too, was able to see the world, they lived their life to the fullest and they couldn't wait to keep on living.
