Epilogue

No One's POV

A epilogue set about 3 years after the last chapter.

5 year old rose was bursting at the seams excited as she kept running back and forth from the large TV in the living room which was showing a Spongebob marathon to the front door.

"Auntie Cat, when are my mommies coming home with my new baby brother?" A hyper rose asked Cat who was leisurely reading a fashion magazine on the couch.

"Soon Rose. If you want you can wait on the patio with everyone else, Uncle Andre, Uncle Robbie, Grandpa and Gramdma Vega and the others."

"No, I'll just stay here." The 5 year old said falling into the beanbag chair that was in front of the couch, turning her attention to the TV.

"Hey Red" Said Andre as he walked into the room from the patio where the small party was happening.

"What's up Andre? Did Jade Call?"

"Yea, they should be here in about 5 minutes. Jade said the hospital parking lot was swarming with reporters and paparazzi all wanting to see Tori Vega's new baby. "

"I get to see him first, he's my baby brodder" Said Rose in protest causing both Andre and Cat to laugh.

With that Rose ran to the front door and looked out the window for her mom's car to arrive.

Five agonizing minutes later Roses impatience was rewarded with the sight of a white Cadillac Escalade pulling up in front of the house and coming to a stop.

"My mommies are here" Happily screeched Rose in a voice so loud it could be heard practically in the next county.

Jade just got out of the car when she was greeted by Rose who came flying out the door.

"I wanna see by broder, I wanna see my broder."

Jade looked at Rose with a smirk. "I'm sorry he was the wrong size so we took him back to the baby store"

Before rose could even react, Tori's voice boomed from the back seat.

"JADE STOP THAT!"

Jade took a quick glance through the open door of the car at her wife who was glaring at her quite intently. Jade instinctively knew that was Tori's "keep going and your sleeping alone tonight" look?

Rose looked confused for a moment but her face lit up when she saw her aunt Trina emerge from the car with a small babyseat followed by a somewhat tired looking Tori.

Rose started to jump up and down excitedly. "My broder is here, my broder his here"

Jade gave rose a hug. "Just wait a second Pumpkin Till your mama Tori and I get your brother Matthew inside."

Trina took the car carrier with the baby inside as Jade took Tori's hand as soon as she exited the car.

"That was mean Jade." Said Tori with a frown as they walked to the front door.

"I can't help myself sometimes." Jade said sheepishly.

A small crowd had gathered just inside the entrance way to greet the newest addition to the Vega-West family. Andre, Robbie , Tori and Jade's parents and Cat all made the normal "Awwwwe..he's so cute" Noises as Trina pulled Matthew out of his car carrier and handed it to Jade.

Jade lovingly looked into the babies eyes before holding him out for the assembled crowd as a huge smile grew on her face.

"Ladies and Gentlemen and Robbie"

"Hey" Protested Robbie quickly

"I would like to introduce you to the newest member of the Vega-West family Matthew David Vega-West. Delivered just 3 days ago after 23 hours of labor by my very beautiful wife Tori."

Jade held the baby for all to show.

At this point Tori took the baby and handed it to Trina, "Take Matthew out to the patio please. I'll be along in a few minutes, I need to speak with Jade."

Trina nodded headed to the Paito.

"Tori said to the assembled guests. I believe the food and drinks are on the patio, so if you would follow Trina out there everyone can start to enjoy themselves. Jade and will be along in a minute. "

The rest of the group followed Trina to the patio while Tori looked at jade looking a bit annoyed.

"I need to talk with you Jadelyn." Tori said calmly.

Jade knew she was in trouble, Tori rarely called Jade by her proper name. Rose and the rest of the guests went outside while Jade followed Tori into the kitchen.

It was when they were alone did Tori let on how tired she actually was as Tori leaned against the counter for support and sighed. The labor was hard, long for Tori and she had been on total bed for the last 5 weeks of the pregnancy.

"Jade that was a mean thing to say to Rose, she's been excited to see her brother for months. You also didn't need to insult Robbie. I know you're excited and happy and you get a bit snarky sometimes when your in that mood. But I'm really worn out and I don't need police you. " Tori said wearily.

A huge rush of guilt flooded Jade as she watched her wife. "I'm so sorry, sweetie. I just act that way sometimes. Why didn't you tell the guests to come another time? You didn't have to."

Tori closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Andre and Your parents flew in to see our new baby. I didn't want to disappoint them. Just as long as I can sit down and don't have to do much I'll be fine. "

Jade walked over to Tori and pulled the exhausted Latina in her arms. "Don't worry, I'll be on my best behavior. I love you."

"I love you too Jade."

"One thing I still wonder about, why were you so insistent on using one of my eggs instead of having one of your own for the baby. You never really answered my question." Tori said with a tired smile.

Tori kissed Jade on the neck. "I'll tell you a bit later. I do have a reason. Let's get back to our guests."

Jade and Tori emerged onto the patio where Rose, Cat, Robbie, Andre, Mr. and Mrs. Vega and Mr. and Mrs. West were all hovering around a small crib that had been set up in the shade on the patio.

"Let's hear for the new mothers. " Said Mr. Vega. The small group clapped as Tori sat down in a large comfortable couch that on the patio.

"Can I get you something honey." Jade said to Tori as she sat down.

"Some tea please" Tori asked.

Jade then walked to the bar they had set up outside and poured some tea into a large glass before getting a beer for herself.

"Here you go Baby." Jade said handing the glass to her wife.

"Thanks Jade." Tori said.

"Can I hold my brodder mama Tori." Asked rose politely.

"Go ahead sweetie." Tori said. "You're mama Jade can help you"

Rose eagerly ran to the side of the crib where Jade carefully pulled Matthew out. "Rose honey, go and sit on the couch. You can hold him there. "

Rose then ran to the couch and sat down. Jade then carefully placed the baby in her sisters arms. "Remember honey, He's not like one of your dolls. He's very fragile. Hold him very carefully. Be sure to hold his head up. "

"I will mama Jade" Rose said as she looked happily at her brother. "Hi Matt, I'm your sister Rose. When you get olders you can play dolls with me."

They all laughed. The rest of the afternoon every one took turns holding the baby who slept pretty much the entire afternoon. Jade was on her best behavior and quickly attending to anything her wife needed.

Andrea promised the little guy a person to play catch with if he ever needed one. Robbie said he'd take him to a baseball game. After the last guests left Rose was put down for a nap and the sleeping Matt was put in his nursery for his continued nap.

Tori went to lay down herself, Jade though not tired, crawled into bed with her exhausted wife and snuggled next to her.

"Thank you Jade." She said.

"Thank you Tori for giving us a baby. Now why did you want to use one of my eggs and not yours? You never really explained it."

Tori smiled and ran a hand through Jades black hair. "It's silly, I'm kind of embarrassed."

Jade gave her a dubious look. "What?"

"Jade I've been in love with you since the day we've met. I used to sit in class and imagine us with a family. I would try to imagine what our babies would look like. I just wanted to have your baby in me, I's been my dream."

Jade was speechless, a tear came to her eye as she desperately tried to find the words to properly respond.

"I was so mean to you, and you still wanted to have my baby?" Jade tearfully said.

"You were and still are wonderful, beautiful, sexy and dangerous and I'm hopeless in love with you. I know you were beneath your rough exterior a wonderful person. I was being girly, so sue me." Tori said with a twinkle in her eye.

"I don't deserve you." Jade said tears still falling from her eyes.

"Yes you do Jade, as much as I deserve you."

Jade wiped the tears from her eyes. "Thank you. I think we should have another baby, I want to carry yours."

"Are you sure?" Tori asked.

"Yes. Very much so. Come on, get to sleep. Let's get some sleep while our little angels are napping. "

Jade moved in closer to Tori who had already closed her eyes and started to drift off. "I love you Tori." Jade whispered to the now sleeping popstar before she drifted off herself.

I decided to put a little epilogue on my Gone but not forgotten story. Jade and Tori have just added a boy to their family and want to have more.

Perhaps a bit sappy but sappy is good sometimes.
