Epilogue

CPOV

I never thought I would see the day, but there I was standing in the groom's room adjusting my tie and fixing the flower pinned to my jacket. The bride chose orange and yellow for her colors, so I was standing there wearing an orange vest under my crisp black coat. I didn't think it looked good, but it wasn't my wedding.

The groom stood beside me frantically adjusting his tie and looking beyond sick. I looked next to me and smiled at him. For being an ex-SEAL he was quite nervous.

"Relax, man." I tried to lighten the mood. Chavez looked at me and tried to smile.

"I can't. I'm scared something's going to happen to take all this away. Stacy is the best thing to ever happen to me and I don't know what I'd do if I lost her or Toby." I smiled and smacked him on the back.

"I understand, trust me! But you've got to just sit back and enjoy the ride. You got here and nothing's going to take her away from you. She loves you; although I can't figure out why." That broke the tension in the room and made Chavez laugh.

"She loves me for the same reason Stephanie loves your sorry ass. We're two lucky sons of bitches!" We laughed for a bit until the knock on the door told us that it was time to take our places.

I followed Chavez out the door and stood behind him at the front of the church. I looked around the audience and found everyone I was looking for.

Les and Alyssa sat in the second pew with our three-year old daughters, Leslie Michelle and Cora Grace. Those two girls were my heart living outside my body. They looked just like their mother and had her personality too. You couldn't tell them no and they were beyond curious about EVERYTHING. I knew I was going to hate it when they got older. The guys and I were already designing plans for when they started dating. We were going to be prepared for day.

Les and Alyssa were in a serious relationship and had been for years. When Nico moved out of our basement, we asked Alyssa to move in and be a more permanent fixture in the house. She jumped at the opportunity, but I don't think she ever slept in her room downstairs. We really didn't care. She was amazing with the kids and we could see how much in love she was with Les. Steph and I were dreading the day that they got engaged and moved out. We knew it was going to happen sooner or later and I wasn't looking forward to finding a new nanny.

Scattered throughout the church was all the guys from RangeMan. Tank and Lula sat in a pew with their one-year old son, Trevor. They weren't married yet, but word is they were talking about it. Ram was there with his wife who was four months pregnant. Hal sat next to his fiancé. She was a waitress from Shorty's who tried for months to catch his eye, but it took us getting him drunk there for him to realize it. Once he did though, he grabbed her and never let her go.

Ranger flew up from Miami along with his young son, Stephen. The mother wasn't in the picture and Ranger was raising him by himself. Stephanie cried when he told her that he was naming his son after her. He's the same age as our girls and Stephanie keeps hinting that we'll all be a family someday. I thought my girls had me wrapped around their fingers, but nothing compared to them with their Uncle Ranger. He would give them the world if they asked for it. Word around the office is that Ranger was planning on making the move back to Trenton with Stephen later this year. We were all excited to have our boss and friend back close to us.

The rest of the guys sat with their girlfriends around the church. We've all seemed to settle down and most of the guys had found someone who understood them and made them happy. Stephanie did everything she could to set up the single ones with friends she made while taking pictures. She's determined to have every guy in the company happily married in the next five years.

My eyes then found my beautiful wife. Seeing her takes my breath away. She was moving around the church taking pictures like a professional. I guess that fit because she was a pro. Her studio took off in a way we didn't expect. Her first year in business, she made over 100k profit. Between magazines publishing her pictures and the photo shoots around town, she's stayed busy. She caught my eye and smiled brightly at me. No one knew yet, but we found out yesterday that she's pregnant again. We both are hoping that it's just one baby this time.

I heard the music start and saw my two boys walk down the aisle with two other little girls. I think they belonged to the bride's sister. Nicky and Carlos were the ring bearers and looked so handsome in their little tuxes. They both smiled at me when they saw me standing at the front. After they had walked their flower girls to the front, they came and stood in front of me like the perfect gentlemen that they are.

The Maid of Honor came down the aisle next looking pretty. She was a gorgeous blonde that caused a lot of the guys to do a double take, but she had nothing on my wife. I found Stephanie again and watched her move smoothly around the church snapping pictures. My eyes never left her, even as the bride walked down the aisle escorted by her son. I heard Nico's breath catch in his throat when he first saw Stacy, but I couldn't tear my eyes off my wife.

I watched her all throughout the ceremony and almost missed my cue to give Chavez the ring. Nicky had to hit me and motion to my pocket to snap me out of the daze caused by my wife. Nico laughed then turned his attention back to his bride. My attention turned back to Steph.

I didn't hear any of the ceremony because I couldn't stop thinking about my wife. I still couldn't believe that she was mine and that we had four amazing kids. Thinking back to how we started our relationship always makes me smile. My life changed because Lester's perverted uncle left him his stash of porn. Who else can say something like that?

When I first saw that my Angel was the centerfold in that magazine, I had no idea how to act or what to do. Stephanie had been a part of my life for a long time but only as friends. I honestly didn't think we would ever be anything more than friends. The night I took her that magazine, she shocked the shit out of me and we began our life together.

Although, it's not a story that we'll ever be able to tell our children, I wouldn't change one thing about how we started our relationship. Playboy contacted her about a month ago about doing another spread for their anniversary edition of the original magazine. She turned them down, thank GOD, and asked that they not contact her again. She still has the body for modeling, but her life has drastically changed. Instead of the rebel bad girl that she was in college, she's now an amazing mother and wife.

She took a break during the reception to dance with me. As I took her in my arms, the feeling of completeness engulfed me.

"What are you thinking, sexy? You haven't been able to keep your eyes off me today." Steph smiled coyly at me.

"I'm thinking about how damn lucky I am. I have an amazing, beautiful wife." I kissed her tenderly. "We have two gorgeous boys who continue to make me proud every day." We looked at Nicky and Carlos dancing with the two little flower girls. They both looked so damn cute that my heart swelled with pride. "And we have two beautiful little girls who I'm going to lock in the house when they get older." Stephanie laughed. Leslie was dancing with Stephan as only three-year olds can. Ranger had Cora in his arms and danced with her while keeping a close eye on his son and her sister.

"You won't be locking them in the house. I have a feeling that their older brothers are going to be the first line of defense between anxious suitors. And if they get through those two, then the uncles will be there with you to terrify any boy who dares ask them out." Steph laughs and shakes her head. We danced quietly for a few more minutes when Stephanie broke the silence.

"Did you ever imagine us ever being here? I mean the night you brought me my magazine, did you picture we'd be married with baby number five on the way?" I looked down at my wife and kissed her nose.

"Nope. I dreamed about this and prayed that it would happen, but I never in my wildest dreams thought it would be this good." She smiled brightly at me. "What about you? Did you ever imagine this?"

She snorted and rolled her eyes. "You know I always ran from things like this, but I think I just needed to find the right man to make it right. It wasn't until I fell in love with you that I even thought about stuff like marriage and kids. You changed me Cal and you made me a better person." I kissed her tenderly.

"I didn't make you a better person. I gave you the space and the tools to become who you were always meant to be. The woman I love more than life and the mother of my children." I wiped the tear that had escaped from her eye. She smiled up at me in gratitude. "By the way...you look incredibly sexy in that dress. Where have you been hiding that?" She smiled seductively at me and got a familiar look on her face. I felt my body respond to her unspoken suggestion.

"I bought this just for you. You know...all four of our children are being watched by other people and I have a few minutes before I'm needed again for pictures. Why don't we go to the bathroom and you can help me calm some of these pregnancy hormones." Her eyes got dark and I watched her tongue lick her lips.

I growled into her ear, "We can't do that. Good girls don't have sex in the bathroom at her friend's wedding reception." She smiled up at me again with a twinkle of mischief in her eye.

"Good girls don't pose naked in Playboy either. I thought we've already decided that I'm anything but a good girl. What do you say? Let's be bad together." She stood on her tip-toes and kissed me hungrily as we swayed on the dance floor.

"Lead the way, Angel. I'll follow you wherever you want to go." She kissed me again and led me through the crowd toward the private bathroom at the back of the banquet hall. I knew with her guiding me, whatever we did would be an adventure and would be nothing short of amazing.


A/N - The time has come to say goodbye to Cal and Stephanie. I hope you enjoyed reading their story as much as I enjoyed writing it. I fell in love with Cal almost from the beginning of this story. I'm going to miss these characters but now it's on to another story.
