Epilogue : Six months later

Holly smiled as she watched Jack play on the floor from the kitchen where she was busy stirring dinner. Amber, Ted, Randa, Dena, Randy and Jamie were all coming for dinner. She smiled as her six month old found the mirror on the blanket and was laughing at himself.

She heard the front door open and John come in. "There's my little guy." He said as he picked up Jack.

"Did you interrupt playtime?" Holly said with a smile looking at her husband as he held Jack.

"Sorry." He held Jack up. "Say sorry mommy."

Holly laughed. "That's okay. I'm glad you made it home to help with dinner."

He walked over to her and kissed her hello. "Looks and smells good. Lasagna?"

"Yes. So how about you go change and set the table?" He nodded and headed out taking Jack with him. She had to smile. She loved that John was such a great dad to Jack. He always took time to play with him and spend the day with him. They had a father/son bonding day every week where just the two of them would spend the day together and Holly would go do something for herself. She'd never experienced anything like it before and she finally understood what love was supposed to be about.

She smiled just as the doorbell rang. She walked out of the kitchen and opened it to Amber, Ted and Randa. "Glad you guys could come. I hope lasagna is okay."

"That sounds awesome. I made cupcakes for dessert."

"Yum." Holly smiled. "Well, John is changing and Randy and Dena will be here with Jamie soon. You can put Randa in the pack n play. John has Jack in the bedroom and I'm sure he will be bringing him back in here."

"Great." Amber said handing her the cupcakes. She and Holly had both taken a cooking and baking class when they were younger at the insistence of their mom. She always told them to make sure they knew how to cook for their husbands. "You know, Mom would love seeing this. Both of us so happy."

"Yes she would." Holly smiled just as the doorbell rang. "I bet that's Randy, Dena and Jamie." She said as she headed over to the door just as John and Jack came out of the bedroom. "About time you got here." She said when she opened the door.

"So, we're late." Randy said as he walked in and hugged her. "You know Dena doesn't move as fast as she did."

"That's because she's got another one of your kids inside her." Amber said smiling. "I hope this one is a girl so she can drive you insane."

"I'm already there. You and Holly beat her to it."

"Ha, ha." Holly laughed. "Well, dinner is almost ready. So why don't you join Ted and John in the living room with the kids and us girls are going to the kitchen to finish up."

Randy nodded and headed into the living room while Dena made her way to the kitchen with the girls.

"So, how are you feeling?" Amber asked her.

"So ready for her to be here!"

Both Holly and Amber laughed. "She will be before you know it." Amber replied.

"So, you guys know it's a girl?" Holly asked.

"Yes. We found out the other day." Dena replied with a smile. "Now we have one boy and one girl." She looked at her sisters-in-laws. "Are you guys thinking about more children?"

"Teddy's still adjusting to diaper duty but he definitely wants more when Randa is a little older."

Dena nodded and turned to Holly. "How about you and John? Do you guys want more?"

"We do. We definitely want more kids." Holly replied. "Well dinner is ready so let's put it on the table and then we can call the guys." Dena and Amber nodded and they helped her put everything on the table. "Guys, dinner's ready."

They all headed into the dining room and sat down. Randy smiled as he looked around the table at his family. The only thing missing as always was their parents. But he knew they weren't really gone. They lived on through their grandchildren and in the hearts of his sisters and in his own heart. And they would. Forever.

They had made it through everything and now they each had the happy life they deserved. And each was determined to keep it always.
