Epilogue

Heather's P.O.V

"Deep breaths baby, deep breaths." I instructed as Naya was having a contraction. She was 8 centimeters dilated an hour ago and we were almost ready to have our 4th baby. We don't know the sex because we decided we really wanted to be surprised. Our three other kids were in the waiting room with Naya's parents.

The contraction finally subsided and Naya's grip on my hand loosened. I kissed her head and ran my fingers through her hair.

"Good job, baby." I said and she smiled at me.

"Thanks, love." She said and kissed me.

The doctor came back into the room and checked to see how far along Naya was.

"Okay, Naya, you are 10 centimeters exactly. Are we ready to start pushing?" He asked. Naya smiled and nodded, "Okay then. Let's get this baby out."

Naya gripped onto my hand and took deep breaths, waiting for the next contraction so she could start pushing. I kissed her hand and the contraction hit.

"Okay Naya, push." Said the doctor. She gripped my hand really tight and started pushing.

She pushed and pushed as the doctor instructed.

"The baby's head is crowning Naya, get ready." Said the doctor. She squeezed my hand and pushed one last time. I saw the doctor slap the baby's butt to get it to cry and when I heard that beautiful sound, I relaxed, "Congratulations, it's a girl." I smiled at Naya and she was smiling at me lovingly, her grip on my hand loosening.

The nurses brought our baby girl up to us and let me cut the cord before taking her to get cleaned up. We didn't get to hold her right after, which sucks but it's okay. The doctors finished up on Naya while I walked into the waiting room to tell everyone about the baby.

I walked in and saw my parents in-law and my three kids waiting patiently along with Dianna, Lea, Kiara, Nickayla and Mychal. A huge smiled appeared on my face and tears stung my eyes when they looked at me expectantly.

"It's a girl." I said as the tears fell, "She's beautiful."

"Oh, my God." Said my mother in-law. Everyone got up and gave me kisses and hugs and 'congratulations'. Benny, Em and Kyle remained seated. I smiled at them and sat down next to them.

"Hey, guys." I said softly.

"Hey mommy. Did mamma has the baby yet?" Asked Kyle. I smiled and nodded.

"She sure did. You guys have a little sister." I told them. Kyle smiled and so did Em. I looked at Benny and he looked like he was day dreaming, "Benny, buddy. Are you okay?"

"Uh-huh. Is my little sister pretty?" He asked.

"She's beautiful." I told him. He smiled really big and his blue eyes sparkled, "You guys are allowed to come and see her in about 20 minutes, okay? I just need to get back to mamma and I'll come get you when you can see her, yeah?"

"Yeah." Said Benny and Em. Kyle nodded and wiped the sleep out of his eyes.

"Hey, mommy?" He asked as I got up.

"Yeah baby?"

"Can I gets some juice?" He asked.

"Sure sweetie, go ask meema to take you to the cafeteria to get something to drink." I told him. All three of them got up and walked over to Naya's mom. I smiled at everyone before making my way back to Naya. I got there and they had moved her toa private room.

I walked to Naya's room and opened the door.

"Hey sweetie," I said as I walked inside. Naya looked at me from the bed and smiled sleepily.

"Hey. God, I'm tired." She said. I smiled and sat down on the chair next to her bed. I held her hand and gently ran my thumb over her hand.

"Mm, everyone's really happy for us." I said, "So, um, what are we gonna call her?"

"Well... I wanna wait to see her first. The nurse should bring her in-" she started and then the nurse walked in with our baby, "..now."

"Hey girls. Here's your baby. Now, visitors are allowed in 20 minutes. Here are all the forms that need to be filled in and in about 10 minutes, you can try breast feeding." Said the nurse. I smiled as she handed our baby girl to Naya. As soon as she was in Naya's arms, the nurse left after giving me the forms.

"Wow... She's stunning." Said Naya, looking down at our baby girl in awe. I smiled and bit my lip, "Come sit next to me. I want you to hold her." I stood up and sat down next to my wife. She carefully handed our daughter over to me and I took her into my arms. She's perfect.

I looked down at my daughter and smiled as she wrapped her hand around my finger. She slowly opened her eyes for me after scrunching up her nose. They're blue. Her hair was dark.

"She really is gorgeous." I said, still looking at the baby girl in my arms.

"There's really own one name that suits her." Said Naya. I smiled and looked at her.

"What's that?"

"Maxine." She said. And that was it. We had her name. Maxine April Morris.

"That's perfect." I said. Naya smiled and kissed Maxine's head.

Naya's P.O.V

22 years later

Heather and I have recently moved back to L.A and we're back in our very first house.

The both of us are 53 now and I have like, tons of grey hairs. Heather has a few but not as much as me. She's still as beautiful as she was on our wedding day.

Bentley and Emily are 29 and both are married. Bentley has found a lovely girl named Sasha and they have a gorgeous baby boy named Harry Alan Morris.

Emily has been married to her high school sweet heart, Macy, for 6 years now. Emily came out of the closet to us when she was 15 and we were really happy to hear we had at least one gay baby, even though it wouldn't have really mattered. They had twin girls named Lucy Heather Morris-Buffay and Kate Naya Morris-Buffay. Heather and I are so honored that they're babies middle names are our names.

Kyle is now 25 and has been with Kiara for 7 years. We always knew that was gonna happen. He has recently proposed and they're getting married on mine and Heather's 29th wedding anniversary.

Maxine is 22 and is single but all of the boys LOVE her.

As for me and Heather, 30 years together in total is a long time. I can't believe that this is where we are now. That this is how happy we are. I'm 53 years old and I still feel like a teenager in love. We still keep in touch with Lee and Di and they moved back to L.A aswell. They've also had two other girls who are now 21 and 19. You'll never guess what they're called... Santana and Brittany.

I love my grandkids and any future grandkids to come. I love my kids and I am happy that they're happy. But most importantly, I love my wife. She's everything to me and still lights up my world after all these years.

"Hey mamma!" Said Bentley's deep voice as he walked through the front door while I made lunch in the kitchen.

"Hey Benny." I said and turned around to give him a peck. He kissed me quick and wrapped his arms around me in a hug.

"Where's mom?" He asked.

"She's upstairs. She'll be down in a second." I said, "Where's Sasha and my grandbaby?"

"Oh, they couldn't make it. Sasha has this thing at work and Harry's at her mom's place." He answered, opening the fridge and getting out a bottle of water.

"Well, you better bring your wife and kid over soon or I swear to god, you won't sit for a week." I joked. He laughed and kissed my cheek before Heather came down stairs and into the kitchen.

"Hey monkey." She said.

"Mom, come on, I'm 29, you gotta stop calling me that." He said.

"Um.. No. I'll call you whatever I wanna call you, I'm your mother." She said and gave him a kiss before walking up to me and kissing my cheek.

"Where's Em? She not here yet?" Asked Heather, sitting on one of the island chairs next to our eldest son.

"Mommies!" Yelled Em, running into the kitchen. I must say... She looks Just. Like. Me. I turned around and gave her a kiss on the cheek and a squeeze before continuing to make lunch.

"Hey baby." Said Heather as Em hugged her.

"Hey, how are you guys?" She asked.

"We're good." I said, "How's you?"

"I's good. Macy couldn't be here today but I brought my girls. They'll be in, in a second. They're arguing outside." She said and hugged Bentley, "Hey butt head!"

"Hey sis." He said, chuckling before he kissed her cheek.

"Where is my nephew?" She asked.

"He's at Sasha's mom's place." He answered. Emily sighed.

"So, I bring your nieces to see you but you can't even bring my nephew to see his favorite aunt?! God, Bentley, you are so unfair." She said and smiled at him.

"Grammy!" Yelled Lucy and Kate, running into the kitchen at full speed. They gave me and Heather and Benny a hug before running into the living room to watch TV.

"Sheesh, they're big now." Said Heather as she stood behind me, her arms around my waist and her head on my shoulder.

"Yeah, it's crazy. They'll be 4 next year." Said Em.

"Hola my happy family!" Said Maxine, walking into the kitchen with her sunglasses on her head and her purse on her arm.

"Hey my babykins." Said Heather, giving her a hug and a kiss. She said hi to all of us and sat next to Benny and Em at the island.

"Oh, my god." Said Max as her phone went off, "Kyle, what do you want?" She yelled answering the phone, "What do you mean, where is it? You should know where mommy and mamma's house is." She said. I smiled at how she still calls Heather mommy, "No... No!... Ugh, god. Fine, I'll wait outside." She said and hung up, putting her phone in her bag and resting her elbow on the table and her chin in her hand.

"Um.. Aren't you supposed to be waiting for Kyle outside?" Asked Benny as he stole a carrot from the salad I was making. I slapped his hand and he smiled cheekily. Naughty little bugger.

"Yeah... But I just don't feel like it." Said Max. We all laughed at how bitchy she could be. I do see a lot of me in her. She's also extremely independent. I love that about her.

"Max! You were supposed to be waiting outside! Hey mamma, hey mom." Said Kyle, making his way into the kitchen.

"Yeah, I know. But you found the house anyways, so I would've just been wasting much needed energy." She said. Heather smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Aw. You guys are so cute!" Said Em, looking at me and Heather. We smiled at her and Heather kissed my cheek again.

"Yep. Now, I don't know about you but I am starving." Said Kyle. His voice was slightly deeper than Benny's and it was hilarious to watch them argue over it.

"Okay, Jesus. You gannet. First Benny starts stealing my carrots- no!" I scolded as he tried to steal another, "And now you come in and tell me you're hungry, you know what?! Go say hi to your nieces." I said. He pouted and walked into the living room to say hi to Lucy and Kate. Both of our sons were extremely attractive men and Heather and I were constantly bragging. As for our daughters... Well, they are super sexy.

As soon as lunch was done, we all sat at the table and laughed, talked and joked about how old me and Heather were or about how annoying the kids were when they were younger. Lucy and Kate were picked up by Macy before lunch was finished, so they didn't get to stay.

As we sat at the table, I looked at Bentley and suddenly saw him as that adorable 4 year old little boy who was obsessed with his muscles and Dory from Finding Nemo and is now a handsome young man who is crazy in love with his wife and obsessed with his 2 year old son. He also works at the aquarium... With the fishes. Go figure.

I then looked at my eldest daughter Emily and saw her when she was 4 and how she was always cleaning up after herself and scolding Benny when he was mean. She's such an amazing mother now who is madly in love with her wife. She's an actress now and is also quite successful. Obviously, she's my daughter.

I looked at Kyle and saw him as a 3 year old, showing me pictures he drew for me at day care. He's now in love with his life long best friend and future wife, who apparently is pregnant with their first child. He's an artist and he's painted some really successful paintings as well.

I looked at Maxine and saw her as that little baby in my arms. She loved to dance when she was younger and she's a professional dancer now... Just like her mommy used to be. I'm so proud.

And lastly I look at my wife and I see her for who she is. Beautiful. She's an amazing mother, grandmother and most of all, she's an amazing wife and I love her more and more each day. She turns her head and smiles at me, making my heart stop for a second. I smile back and lean in for a kiss. She presses her lips to mine and lingers a little as our kids coo over us. After she pulls away she whispers that she loves me and I say it back. She smiles her mega-watt smile and I giggle at how cute she still is.

This is forever. I have this beautiful family and I have it forever. Forever, forever, forever. My new favorite word.
