**Time jump **

It's been 5 years since Zelena and I worked everything out and we actually have become really great friends. As far as my relationship with Regina it's been a wonderful experience. We laugh, we argue, we, I guess I should say that I sleep on the couch sometimes, but in the end it's all about love for us no matter what. Regina and I now have 3 children. Lucas is 6 and our twins just turned 2, a boy named Henry and a girl named Savanna. Having twins was different from when we had Lucas. There was double everything. Diaper changes, feedings, bathing, dressing. Everything you could think of but we've made it work and it definitely brought us closer together. I absolutely love my wife more than I could ever begin to tell you.  I do still work at the diner, but last year Granny, Regina and I bought a new restaurant. Of course Regina wouldn't let me take out a bank loan for the new restaurant so she came in as a silent partner, but when I get home she's not so silent. She always has something to say. Granny's is still the perfect spot for a home style comfort meal and of course the best breakfast around, while our restaurant serves more upscale dishes. We named the new restaurant La Famiglia Ristorante, I thought we should have used the name Granny's for the new restaurant but Granny said no, that this is a family restaurant and we are family.  And there is no arguing when Granny says something, it's final. The new restaurant has been open for about 7 months now and it's been doing great.  I really love working there. I mostly do management work like the paperwork and orders, I also greet customers and seat them if needed. It's a rare occasion that I get in the kitchen to cook. We have an amazing chef as well as great line cooks. Regina has been loving her job at the elementary school. She tells me how less stressful it is compared to working in a high school. It's good to see how happy she is when she comes home at the end of the day. A few years ago Zelena decided to open up a boutique in New York City so she spends a lot of time in the States now and is able to visit us often. I'm so thankful for everything that I have in my life. I have a beautiful, loving and supportive wife and I have amazing kids. I'm not alone anymore, I have a family, an actual family and even though things sucked for the first part of my life, I wouldn't have changed anything because it all led up to my life now.
