Epilogue

The Read family took home their little bundles, but Jane and David continued to look for a new place to live. A few months after the twins were born, a new house became available just a few steps up the street. The family pounced on the property, and soon they had a new house. Arthur was able to keep his own room, but Kate and DW continued to share, just as the twins shared a nursery. There was even an extra room for the kids to play in, as well as plenty of room in the yard for swing and picnic table.

Sadly, a few months after moving in, Pal was hit by a car. Arthur buried him at their new house in his favorite spot, but he would never forget his best friend.

As the twins grew older, Arthur felt himself growing more attached to all four of his siblings and not just his little brother. He had to be responsible for them, and he became their sole caretaker when his parents were away. And he did a great job with his new responsibilities.

A/N: I decided to end this here because Naomi's World covers the gaps. I repeated the part about Pal in case anyone missed it. I think the timeline might be a little off for everything, but this is my first ever prequel, so I kind of expected that sort of thing.

I wrote this for a reason though. "Naomi's World" is a future piece that had a few things that needed to be answered, namely the two extra babies and why the Read's needed to move into a bigger house. Ultimately, that sort of thing is my decision in a piece, and it was my decision to do the prequel. I was actually inspired by an episode of The Simpsons where Bart is envious of the relationship his sisters have with each other, and I feel like the same could have happened between Arthur and Ricky…if Arthur wasn't so responsible. I'm happy with this piece and I hope everyone enjoyed it. And if you haven't read "Naomi's World," feel free to check it out.

Also, I wrote a sequel to Naomi's World called "Arthur's World." I just found it last month, so I honestly don't remember what it's about, but I'll start posting it soon.
