epilogue

5years later

I looked into the mirror and the girl that looked back definitely wasn't me. It was my wedding day. I looked amazing. I had natural make up on. Not to much but I had some. My hair was up in a bun with strands hanging down and were curled. I had a long white veil on. My dress was gorgeous. It was just an a-line dress. It had a sweetheart neckline with a little diamond flower type thing on the waist. It wasn't anything special and I do t know why I fell in love with it but I did and I absolutely loved it. I saw the door open from the reflection in the mirror and dad walk in.

"You look gorgeous" he said standing beside me. He had on a black tux with a dark purple tie. He look pretty good. I had an hour before I had to walk Down The aisle. We may have been a little early getting in my dress. I sat down on the bed. I mine as well use this time to catch you up on what has happened the past five years. So bandit is now ten almost eleven. She is already starting to act like a teenager. But she is a joy to hang around with. Ashton is five now. He will start kindergarten next year. He is such a fun little boy. He loves superheroes like his dad and he loves his cousins as well. Speaking of his cousins Lily and cherry are almost ten. They have been so much fun to watch grow up. Lily has become the more quiet one. She leaned to play piano and she can sing quite well. Cherry is a wild child like her dad. She is always talking and running and screaming. Frank is teaching her to play electric guitar. She is slowly getting the hang of it. But she has a very short attention span so it takes a long time for her to learn. Lilly, Cherry, and Bandit have still stayed friends. Even though bandit and Cherry get alone better then Bandit and Lily. Lily just tags along. Then we have Hudson. He is also five. Him and Ashton are best friends. Hudson is a sweetheart. He is loving and caring. But he is still a boy so he loves to make noise and play trucks and superheroes. Miles is seven almost eight. He is kinda the middle child. He doesn't have a cousin the same age as him. Sometimes the girls will do stuff with him but usually he doesn't want to play with girls. He thinks he is to old for the boys. Usually when we all get together he just brings a friend.

Ray and Christina have two kids now. They are Three and five months. The three year old is a boy named Devin Christopher. He is fun but very mischievous. He has his dsds curls though. The girl is Chloe Rose. She is just little. But she is still a little sweetie.

Mikey and Alicia adopted another kid. This one was a girl. She was three when they got her. She had been abused when she was little. She often has nightmares about everyone. She is now four and is doing better. Her name is Hayden Grace.

Frank and Jamia are pregnant. With a girl. She is seven months pregnant. They are going to name her Emerson Paige.

And that brings me to mom and dad. Mom had one more. She promises this one is her last. It was another boy. His name is Lucas Kaine. He is two and a half.

"Are you ready to go?" Rachel asked interrupting my thinking. She was my maid of honor. She wore a long dark purple dress. All my brides maids wore short dark purple dresses. My flower girl was Hayden. She was in a dark,but not as dark as the bridesmaids, purple dress that stopped right at her knees. It had a black sash tied around the middle.

My ring bearers were going to bed both Ashton and Hudson. I didn't want Miles to feel left out so he is going to be a junior groomsmen. He was going to escort both of his sisters down the aisle. Bandit, Lily, and Cherry are junior bridesmaids. Devin was going to escort Hayden down the aisle. All the guys and their wife's were going down the aisle together. Lucas we didn't think was going to corporate so he is going to sit with grandma for the ceremony. And Chloe is going to also sit with my grandma. I linked arms with my dad. All my wedding party went down the aisle then the doors opened for me to walk out. I looked straight forward and locked eyes with my groom. I finally realized who I wanted to be with for my whole life. Sam.

13 years later.

"Mooooooom The boys are annoying me."

"Moooooooom, he took my crayon"

"Mooooooom, he won't let me have the coloring book."

Welcome to my life. Theirs just got home from school. Let the fighting begin.

"Mom. Can you help me with my homework. I don't get what in an supposed to be doing" Kay asked coming into the kitchen with her homework binder. Kay was 12. She was daddy's little girl.

"Sure sweetheart. Sit here. Ill get you a snack" I got her a few cookies and a glass of milk and set the on the island next to her.

"Alright what are you working on?" Or asked her sitting next to her.

"Volume of different three dimensional shapes. I don't remember how to get a spheres volume." I helped her through her homework before both the boys barged into the kitchen. Kay retreated back to her room and the boys took her place on the counter. I looked at thr identical faces. They were twins. they were both six. There was Calvin, who was a little shorter and he was louder and crazier. Then there was Ethan. He was just a few inches taller and just a little bit calmer and quieter. I got them both cookies and milk before I heard the front door open.

"Hey babe" Sam called coming into the kitchen and taking a cookie. He kissed me before taking a bite of it.

"Hey boys" he said ruffling their hair.

"Daddy" Kay shouted running down the steps and jumping Into her dad's arms.
