The Nash Brothers (Completed)

23. Epilogue

Nearly Five years later...

POV Beau:
I was smiling as I walked through the quiet house, my eyes running over the improvements we had made over the years, the walls we had knocked out or added to create the family space we needed, Indi's paintings gracing the walls with pictures of us all in between and the piles of things that came with a large active family scattered around, this was our home and I couldn't imagine life without it.

I loved the weekends and the sounds of the household coming awake made me smile, as I finished setting the table, the opening and closing of doors and the tread of tiny and adult feet heading this way. Trent shepherding our twins John and Jack towards the table, at nearly four years old the boys had an independent streak a mile wide and were quickly learning everything they could, inheriting their mothers brain power, I smiled as I wondered how soon before they were running rings around us.

"Just us?" I ask Trent as I place bacon and scrambled eggs in front of the boys before getting mine and Trent's plates ready.
"Mummy is having a lie in and we have to be quiet" Jack told me seriously.
"And Maddy is making sure she rests, so is staying with her" John adds, not wanting to be left out of the conversation.

I raise a brow at Trent who grins back at me. "Okay so, What do you want to do today boys?"
"Can we go see grandpa and grandma, they promised to take us to the zoo, I want to look at the monkeys" John looks at his twin who nods back at him.

"Why the monkeys?" Trent asked looking confused, last week the boys favourite animals were the tigers.
"Baddy said to mummy he couldn't wait for the new monkeys to arrive and I want to see them" Jack said looking at Trent and I felt my cheeks flush, I hadn't realised the boys had overhead me. I had been behind a closed door with Indi when I said those words.

"Baddy said that did he?" Trent mocked with a grin at me.
I cleared my throat wondering if I should explain the difference to the boys or would I get myself in more of a mess.  "Come on boys, eat up and I will take you to Grandpa, he can explain about the monkeys" Trent said saving me.

"Thank you Taddy" they chorused together and dug in, clearing their plates and finishing their juice in record time. We dismissed them to clean their hands and get their shoes and coats ready, remembering to warn them to let Mummy sleep, though if Maverick was with her, I doubt rest was at the forefront of his mind.

As I watched them get ready to go, my heart full, our family was perfect. "Thanks, I didn't know they overheard" I tell Trent, who laughs at me.
"While I take them over you better phone John or Mum and let them know what we are sending to them" he warns me with a laugh.

POV Maverick:
I run my fingers slowly up her side, following the shaft of sunlight that turned her ivory skin to gold, loving the feel of her swollen belly under my hand, my breath catching as I feel one of the twins move under her skin. "You woke them up" Indi rasped out, as I felt the babies move again, a hard ripple under my hand.

"Sorry" I whisper to her, leaning over to claim her lips in a good morning kiss, my face breaking out into a smile as I look down at the goddess in my arms. "God you're beautiful" I praise her but she huffs, turning to face me.

"Even when I am the size of a whale?" she questions and I see the worry in her eyes.  Oh no, I am not allowing that.
"Baby, you are the most beautiful woman in the world to us and always will be and the fact you are carrying our babies again, is beyond perfect.  When you are with child, it's difficult for us to keep our hands off you, you glow with love and its radiant" She giggles and I see the clouds in her eyes receding.  "We want to lock you away because, you attracted everyones eyes, male and female, old and young and when you are not carrying our babies, you draw people in with your energy and zest for life, when you gave yourself to us we became the richest men in the world"
