7 Years later

"Aunty Rosalie!" Kelly grinned bouncing into their kitchen to fine his aunty there.

"Hello," She grinned tugging him in for a hug, which was made a little awkward with her very pregnant belly.

"Guess what, guess what, guess what?!" Kelly chanted practically bouncing on his toes.

"What?" She laughed.

"I got to watch Aunty Trubel and dad training together and they were so cool, and they said that I could get to join in with them soon. And then Uncle Monroe took me to play tick in the woods and I managed to hide from him for ten whole minutes!"

"Wow! You are getting better and better!" Rosalie gasped impressed making the dark-haired boy glow with pride.

"Are Michael, Sammy, Tina and Alison here?" Kelly asked, distracted already.

"They're in the front room," Rosalie laughed as Kelly left the room in a bundle of energy, to be greeted by excited shouts.

"Do not start rough housing in here, go outside to do it!" Harry called as he walked in with a toddler on his hip, his own belly getting in the way slightly. "Honestly, we need to stop, seven is ridiculous as it is without adding these two to the mix," He shook his head motioning to their stomachs.

"Tell that to Nick, he would fill a mansion if he could," Rosalie snickered as she took Mia from Harry, those gorgeous green eyes looking back at her.

"Did he leave them behind again?" Harry asked as his husband was mentioned.

"Pretty sure," She nodded grinning.

"Daddy!" Michael raced passed, followed by a small stampede of their kids.

"Here they are," She nodded.

"Hey, keep them busy out there please!" Harry called out the back door.

"Sure, how's things going in here?" Nick jogged up the steps to kiss Harry and pick Mia up who was squealing happily at the sight of her daddy.

"Not too bad, Phoebe is on her way down with Bud with a load of things," Harry planted another kiss on Nick's lips.

"Need any help?" Monroe asked jogging up to kiss Rosalie with three kids hanging off of him.

"If you could set up the tables and keep these monsters distracted," Harry stuck his tongue out at the protest from their kids.

"Harry!" Trubel wrapped her arms around him as though she hadn't seen him for weeks rather than since this morning.

"Is Greg coming around?" Harry asked playfully, watching delightedly as a blush spread across her cheeks. She had been seeing a lovely Apgadnieks for a few months now and had even introduced him to the family.

"Oooo Trubel's in looooove," Jamie sing songed, his flame red hair shining in the sunlight. With a growl Trubel bounced off of the porch and raced after Harry's son, the other kids joining in with excited shouts. As normal there were a couple of wogues when the kids got overexcited, making Mia squeal in delight.

"Knock knock, look who I spotted coming up the street," Hank called stepping into the kitchen.

"Kelly!" Harry smiled hurrying over to hug her before Nick could. Laughing at the pout on her son's face she hugged her son-in-law close.

"How's the house going?" Nick asked hugging his mum himself once Harry let go.

"Well, I think I have it how I like it," Kelly nodded. They all knew it was a little strange for her living in one place and she had been struggling with it. She had started living half the time in Portland, half the time travelling years ago, but as Harry and Nick, and Monroe and Rosalie, had more kids she hung around more and more, until she had decided to settle down here full time.

"Grandma!" Harry dodged out the way as Kelly Sr was buried under a pile of kids. Harry was fairly sure she would never really fully get used to Wesen children calling her grandma, no matter how much she loved them, the same as Monroe's mum and dad having Grimm children calling them Granny and Grandad.

"Sean is coming with Diane," Hank told them as he snagged a child under each arm getting a riot of giggles and squeals of Uncle Hank. Harry had helped the young girl get control of her magic, and become her unofficial godfather along the way.

"Adalind?" Harry asked.

"She is in a case at the minute, when she gets out of court she will be down though," Hank explained.

"Great, now out you go!" Harry waved them off laughing. Nick snagged him around the waist and pressed a kiss to his lips, before bending and pressing a sweet kiss to his stomach before hurrying out after the laughing kids. "That is why I struggle putting a stop to so many children!" Harry laughed as Rosalie caught his eyes.

"Amen to that," She snorted turning to continue cooking for the family BBQ.

Nick laughed as Hank and Wu bantered back and forth with Greg, who looked as if he didn't know whether to take the two police men seriously or not. Monroe was standing next to him chatting away to Sean about what he was doing with his shop, and the ornate clock that had been brought into his house from Germany.

Harry was snuggled into his side, holding Jamie to his side where their son was cuddled in. In was getting late in the night and was passed some of the kid's bed times, but they had been told they could stay up late for the gathering. Mia had long gone to bed with Tina sharing her bed. When they had moved to a bigger place, Monroe and Rosalie had managed to find a house 2 streets away not long after, their children were constantly staying in each other's houses, so much so that they joked whose children belonged to who.

Looking around their full yard Nick smiled to himself. All their friends, their family, were here, and they were having a great time. The yard was fully of laughter and chatting, the sound of children's excitement and talking, them playing their games. His home was filled with life and love.

Harry shifted beside him, his hand going to rub his side where one of the twins was kicking him. He moved so that he could press his own hand to the place where he could feel the fluttering movement, before rubbing the area himself trying to sooth the baby for Harry. After Rosalie and Monroe managing to cope with their triplets the thought of twins wasn't quite so intimidating, though they had still been more than a little wide eyed when they had found out.

The guys at work were all excited for them, and all looking forward to meeting another of the Burkhardt clan. They all loved their kids down at the station and doted on them whenever they were there.

Closing his eyes he pressed a kiss to Harry cheeks, smiling a little when Harry turned and pressed their lips together.

"Ugh gross!" Jamie complained before hurrying off. Snickering against Nick's lips Harry wrapped his arms around his neck and pressed as close to him as he could with his stomach, deepening the kiss hungrily.

"I love you," Harry sighed contently.

"I love you too, always," Nick brushed Harry's hair from his eyes, scattering kisses across his face before taking his lips again.

Yes, their life was hectic, with Wesen coming out of the woodwork left right and centre, every now and then a royal would pop their head into their lives. Once in a blue moon something from the wizarding world would pop up, sometimes big things, sometimes things like when his magic went nuts with a wizarding bug he had and they had furniture coming to life, flowers exploding everywhere whenever he sneezed.

But with these people here in their yard, with their family, they were strong and they were powerful. He would never say that they were unbeatable because that left them open with their arrogance, but they were a moving force, and as time went on attacks happened less and less as the security of their power became known.

And with the man he loved by his side, well, life was as perfect as he could ever dream it was.
