Kylie is 17, the triplets are 19 and Emmy is 24.
"Grandpa!" Billy yelled as he ran in from the backyard.
"Billy! What's up little man?"
"I want cheerios." He said. He was two years old now and Kylie was going to be a senior in high school when school started up again in 2 weeks.
"Let's go get you some then." I said as I carried him into the kitchen. Dani was sitting with Emmy and immediately stopped talking when I walked in.
"What's going on?" I asked as I poured some cereal on a plate and set it up next to Dani.
"Nothing, just talking about the wedding and stuff." Emmy had gotten engaged a year ago to Andrew.
"Did you pick a date?"
"It'll probably be next August so we better get cracking." She giggled.
"You will have the best wedding. Anything you want, you can have." I said as I filled a Sippy cup with water for Billy.
"Is the weirdo in here?" Kylie asked with a giggled. Billy waved at her and she sat next to him and started stealing some of his food. She made me so proud. She was in the top of her class, didn't miss too many days of school and was looking into a local college to go to. She didn't become a statistic just like Dani and I didn't.
"What were you two doing out there?"
"We were playing on the swings and I turned to talk to Monroe and he disappeared." She said.
"I can't believe they leave for college in a week." Dani mumbled.
"We grow up so fast." Emerson said.
"I still remember when you first kicked." I said and Emmy shook her head.
"When are you going to pop out some babies?" Kylie asked Emerson.
"Andrew and I decided that a few months before the wedding I would stop my birth control and the night of my wedding will be the first time we do it unprotected." She said and I spit my drink everywhere.
"Don't overreact Kendall. Emmy is old enough to have babies."
"She needs a steady job though."
"I do. I'm a teacher at the high school. I got tenure."
"Doesn't matter." I muttered as Dani threw a Cheerio at me.
"Hey Dad, can I have some money? I need to pick up some flowers for Nicole." Noah asked. Nicole and Noah have been dating since they were juniors.
"How much you want?"
"20?"
"I expect change." I said as he took the keys and headed to the car. Noah was going to a college in New York for engineering.
"Hey mom, can you help me do my hair for the dinner tonight?" Roe asked. Monroe was going to college in California on a soccer scholarship. She was going to study psychology.
"I can do that. I'll meet you in your room in 10 minutes." We were all having a dinner with James and Logan and Carlos so we could collectively say goodbye to the triplets before they headed off.
"Do I have to go tonight?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, you're going to college so we have to say goodbye." I said as he grabbed a soda.
"I'm going to community college. I'm living here." He said. He was a little afraid to go away. He was going to study to become a teacher for the deaf. I couldn't be more proud of him.
"You still deserve a party. You can't not go." Dani said before she left for Roe's room.
"I'll go." He said and I patted his back.
"Good."
XxXxXxXxXx
"Thanks for coming man." I gave Logan a bro hug and he smiled.
"Camille couldn't make it. The kids are sick."
"That's fine. You don't have to stay the whole time." I said and he nodded as he headed off to play with William.
"Where's Uncle Carlos?" Emmy asked.
"He's helping Roberto with the grill." I said. I looked towards the swing set and saw Katie pushing her daughter and Patrick standing next to her holding their son, Liam.
"Kendall!" Lily yelled as she headed my way. My mom and John followed and I gave them all a hug.
"Hey grandma, how're you?"
"I'm great. Where's Dani?"
"She's with Emerson and Andrew in the kitchen."
"I'll see you later." She said as she headed that way.
"She's lonely." My mom muttered. Drew had died about a year ago and my grandma had lost her mind a bit. It was a rough time for all of us.
"I know. I miss him." I said and she nodded. She and John went to say hello to the triplets and James came over to me.
"Hey, Jo couldn't make it. There was an emergency at her mom's place. Skylar is with her." He said and I nodded. Skylar was his newborn daughter.
"Where are Troy and Bridget?"
"They're with Noah and Ben and Nicole near the pool."
"Where's the little one?"
"She's with William." Jo and James had another baby girl, Bailey about 2 years ago.
"I can't believe they're going to college." I muttered.
"They grow up fast." James said and I nodded. He handed me a beer and I gulped it down.
"We grew up fast too. It feels like years ago when we were in high school."
"I know. Can you believe the shit we went through?" he asked and I shook my head.
"I didn't think my life would be this way but I'm glad it is."
XxXxXxXxXx
"My babies are leaving soon." Dani muttered against my chest. We were all outside around the fire pit at the party.
"They grew up fast but hey, we already have a grandchild and soon we'll have the house to ourselves."
"That's true but I'm going to miss seeing them every day."
"Ben is staying at the house and we still have Kylie and Billy. It's not the bad." I said.
"I can't believe how our lives turned out." She said.
"5 kids, 1 grandchild, 6 godchildren and a dog." I whispered as Copper laid his head on Ben's lap. Billy started throwing food and Kylie reprimanded him. Instead, everyone started throwing food and running around the backyard taking cover.
"I love you." Dani said from where we hid.
"I love you more."
"We raised animals." She giggled as the triplets, Ky and Emmy threw food at us.
"So what, I love our little zoo."
And for the last timeā¦.
