Chapter 19

Five years later.

Leigh, the oldest boy, and Logan, the younger louder one, turned out to be trouble makers. Lex and Chloe had learned that Lucas was a terrible babysitter. He just taught them new tricks, which they then played on their parents and other sitters. Lois had flat out refused to watch them ever again, but Pete occasionally tried to take the job. They loved their uncle Bruce, who visited frequently, with his wife who he had married shortly after the twins were born. She had given birth to another boy who was the spitting image of Bruce, who they named Coye((pronounced Coy or Koi)).

The three boys had become fast friends and were constantly together whenever Bruce and his wife visited, or whenever Lex and Chloe went to the Wayne village. Lionel was the perfect doting grandfather, if a bit spotty in the head. He had recently given Lex control of the tribe due to his failing memory and mental processes. He got on very well with the children often acted like one himself, but everyone only smiled at the sweet old man.

Just a week ago Chloe had given birth to another child, a girl this time, who was named Leila. Despite Chloe's push for Callia, saying they could call her Lia , she was out voted by a scheming Lionel, Lex, and Lucas.

Ten more years…

At ten, Leila was already becoming the spitting image of her mother, complete with blond hair, though her eyes were mostly green they still held flecks of her father's blueish grey. Leigh and Logan had light red hair that looked brown if you were not careful. It matched Lex's reddish color of only slightly lighter. They had their father's eyes, only they seemed to split. The quiet and intelligent Leigh had ended up with a dark blue that was almost violet, while Logan who was loud and had a heavier build had dark grey eyes that sparkled like silver at times.

The fifteen year old Leigh and Logan, along with Coye who was fourteen, could be found around the village flirting with anything female, testing their skills. They were pretty good, half the girls in the village were in love with them at the end of two weeks.

But Coye liked to play with and hang around ten year old Leila, despite her brothers' teasing. Leila had been Chloe and Lex's last child, even though Lionel had begged and schemed for them to have more. Lucas had met a nice girl, from the Lang tribe surprisingly, who was not the smartest and that was not surprising. But they seemed to love each other with Lucas was wrapped around her finger and liking it, even though he was teased about his young words to the contrary. They had a few children, which helped to take Lionel's attention off of Lex and Chloe.

Lex and Chloe sat outside their long house, watching the children play.

"You know, that is a good boy…" Lex murmured, his arm around Chloe's shoulders, her small body leaning into his.

"Yes…" Chloe smiled up at him, knowing he was going to say something else.

"Coye and Leila seem to like each other." Chloe nodded at Lex's statement but stayed quiet, just looking up at her husband, waiting for him to come to the same thoughts she had already had. "And they are very cute together… Do you think that….?" Lex trailed off and Chloe laughed..

"Yes, I do think that…" She smiled leaning up to kiss him.

"Ewww…."

"Grosss!"

"MOOMMM DADDD! That is YYYucky…."

A chorus of children's voices echoed around them with similar statements and Chloe and Lex pulled apart with a laugh.

Eight years after that…

Bruce's son Coye, at the age of 22, proposed to Leila who was eighteen. Lex protested that she was too young, but Chloe shot him down with the reminder that she had been seventeen when they married. Leila's older brothers, who were twenty-three, had threatened, spied, played tricks, and argued with Coye. Until they met a few of the pretty girls from the Wayne village, and then they went along with it without much protest. Sadly Lionel wasn't there the enjoy his grandaughter's wedding. He had passed on a few years earlier, and was still missed.

After the wedding, Lex was having a hard time watching his daughter go into her tepee for the wedding night. And when Coye followed her a few minutes later, Lex growled darkly. Chloe laughed at him.

"I don't think I like that boy…" Lex scowled. Chloe pressed a kiss to his cheek and stood, taking his hand and leading him to their own guest tepee, in the Wayne village, and effectively distracted him.

And another two years go by…

Lex was now a grandfather. Leila had given birth to a little boy named Cael. Chloe had helped pick out the name, and Lex had grumbled about tradition for two weeks. Then when Leigh's daughter was born and named Lorelie, he gave Chloe a smug look, which was returned when Logan named his daughter Cassia. Now it seemed that there was a minor battle over C and L names. But Chloe and Lex always kissed and made up afterwards, the names were not really that important but they did like to argue.
