Epilogue

1 year later

Today is the twins first birthday and I cannot believe this year has gone by so fast. Everything has just been so perfect. Well... except for a few instances. About two months after the twins were born Christian went back to work, on his first day back Selena somehow made her way into his office and tried to convince him I wasn't good enough for him. Selena was promptly removed from Grey House and was banned from ever entering another property owned by Christian. This was also how we found out how she got the codes for the elevator that day she somehow entered the apartment. She had been watching us for months and guessed the code from what she had seen of us entering the elevator. This also shocked me, the fact that she had been following us and basically stalking us for months and no one knew. I felt really unsafe after that, we had security to protect us from things like that and they failed us.

Which brings me to my next point, Sawyer. Turns out when he was supposed to be watching the cameras in the apartment he was looking over old files to make sure everything was sound. So that is how he did not know Selena entered the apartment or any of the events that occurred afterwards. Christian was willing to give him a second chance for some reason, but when I learned the truth I fired him without a second thought. I have two children, if he can't protect me and watch me successfully I do not want him anywhere around my children.

My girls. They are so beautiful and growing like little weeds. They are both on the verge of walking and I just know that once they finally start we will never be able to catch up with them. I feel like I was born to be a mom, not every moment is perfect but when I look into their sweet innocent faces I just know it is all worth it in the end.

"Love, the girls are awake and want their cake." Christian smiles as he enters the library.

"Oh they want cake? Did they tell you that?" I ask standing up and wrapping my arms around Christian's neck.

"They may have babbled something…." He trails off.

"oh really? They both started talking and the first thing they say if that they want cake? Or is it you that wants cake"

"Well, if you're asking?"

"come one Christian, let's go celebrate out daughters' first birthdays." I grab his hand and pull him out of the library"

we reach the living room where the girls are crawling around with our family all watching.

That's another thing that has happened this past year, my relationship with Grace is far from perfect, but it has improved considerably. We now meet for lunch regular to discuss the girls and live in general. I do not think we will ever be super close but what we have is good enough for me.

"Ana, they are just getting so big." Kate tells me while rubbing her tiny baby bump. Right after the girls were born Elliot and Kate caught baby fever and decided to start trying for a baby of their own. It took them a few months but finally they got pregnant and now are expecting a baby boy this summer. Everyone is over the moon for them and excited to add yet another member to the ever expanding Grey family. Speaking of which, Mia got married 2 months ago to her long-time boyfriend, Mark. They are sitting next to each other on the couch and cannot seem to keep their hands off each other. I look around the room, from my babies playing on the floor, ot my wonderful husband crawling around with them, to Grace, Carrick, Mia, Mark, Elliot, Kate, and dad all sitting around our large family room. I could not ask to be a part of a better family. Even though our relationship started off in a unconventional way, I will forever be grateful that Christian choice me in the end and decided to stay.

This is super short I know, but I just thought it felt complete at this point. I am not really happy with how this story turned out, you know what they say about being your own worst critic. One day I may rewrite this whole story, but for now I will stay completed as is. Thank you so much to everyone who read and reviewed this story, all of your kind words really mean a lot to me. This was my first attempt at writing fiction and I really enjoyed it.
