~*~Four Years Later~*~

~Dove's P.O.V.~

I wake up in the morning to Paige, Skye, Parker, and Brady jumping on me and Ryan's bed. 

"Get up! Get up! Get up!" they all yelled. I open my eyes and see Brady's excited face right in front of my tired one. 

"Why?" I ask smiling. 

"Because it's Christmas!" Paige, Skye, and Parker all say. 

"Chrithmas!" Brady cheers. 

"No, no, no. I distinctly remember that Christmas was last year." Ryan says. 

"It's every year, daddy." Parker says. 

"Really?" Ryan asks. 

"Uh huh." the girls say. 

"Presents!" Ryan yells and jumps out of bed. Ryan and the girls run downstairs while I pick up Brady and carry him down. 

"Breakfast first!" I tell them. 

"But mommy!" they all whine. 

"Ryan, I'm not your mommy." I tell him. 

"I know. Who want pancakes?" Ryan asks. 

"Me!" all the kids shout. Brady squirms out of my arms and Ryan goes to make pancakes. I smile as I watch the four year old twins and three year old Parker try to help Ryan. Brady's only two and is watching closely. After breakfast, the kids race into the living room and start looking at presents. 

"Who's this one for?" Paige asks pulling out a big box. 

"What does it say?" I ask her. She looks at it and tries to read it. 

"It says Parker." Paige says. 

"Mine!" Parker cheers and hug the present. We give out the rest and let the kids open their presents. We invite Ryan's family, Claire, and my mom over for lunch and the kids get more presents. 

"Brady!" Wes yells. 

"Wes!" Brady yells. Brady has always loved Wes the best out of all the McCartan siblings. Besdies Ryan of course since he's his dad. 

"Where's my hug, little dude?" Austin asks. Brady reaches out of Wes's arms and Austin takes him. 

"Don't drop my child, again." I tell the boys. 

"It was once, and she doesn't even look damaged." Austin sasses. I roll my eyes and walk into the kitchen with Elsa, Piper, Claire, and Kayla. About three years ago, Claire got married and had a daughter. Her name, if you didn't already guess, is Kayla. 

"Kayla! Come see what me, Paige, Skye, and Brady got for Christmas!" Parker says. Kayla grabs Parker's hand and they run outside to the trampoline. Me and Ryan got them a trampoline for Christmas and set it up on Christmas Eve so we wouldn't have to today. 

"Mommy, where's Kayla?" Paige asks. 

"She's outside with Parker on the trampoline." I tell her. She nods and runs outside. Soon I hear Skye and Chase run past. 

"Chase? What are you doing here?" I ask. 

"I came with daddy and mommy." Chase answers. I turn around and see Ben and Kali standing in the living room. Yup, Kali and Ben got married and had a son. Chase. I'm surprised Emmy, Shelly, Tenzing, and Joey aren't he- wait! Here's they come. Shelly walks in carrying her son, Zayn, and Emmy follows. When Shelly's boyfriend found out she was pregnant, he ditched her. But we're all helping her raise Zayn who is now two. 

"Hey girls!" I say. 

"Hey! Where's Kayla, Claire?" Emmy asks. 

"Outside on a trampoline with Paige, Parker, Skye, and Chase." Claire answers. 

"So the McCartan kids got a trampoline?" Shelly asks. 

"Yep. And if Zayn wants to play with Brady, he's somewhere with the boys." I tell her. Zayn squirms out of Shelly's arms and runs to find Brady. After two hours, we're finally ready to have a late lunch. I call in the kids and we eat. We open presents afterwards and watch some football. Then everyone leaves.

~*~Eleven Years Later~*~

~Dove's P.O.V.~

Skye and Paige are fifteen, Parker's fourteen, and Brady's thirteen. Try living in a house of wild teenagers. Except, they're actually pretty good. Skye became an actress when she was six and has been acting ever since. Paige is a dancer, just like Tenzing is. Parker is a singer and is currently on a world tour. She fought us in order to go but Ryan finally convinced me to let her. And Brady, well Brady's just himself. He's pretty good at all three things but I think he wants to be a dancer like his oldest sister. 

"Positive." I smile at Ryan. He smiles as well and hugs me. I guess there's gonna be another kid in the house.
