Okay. So this dreaded time has come, and we're at the last chapter :( this story has put me through so many feels it's unbelievable lol I can't believe it's ending. But, I just want to take the time to say THANK YOU! Even to the people who just read through it and kept it moving, thanks for taking the time out to do that. Meeting Jupiter is ending, but it's not over yet. I like these characters too much to just end it like this so I'm in the process of doing another story. Because it's gonna be all over the place (you'll see what I'm talking about once I post the new story), I'm not sure if I want to call it a sequel. I guess you can say it's little one shots...

Again, thanks everyone! This is not the last time you'll read about these characters, trust me. All I have to do is proof read the beginning of the new story a little more and come up with a damn title -_- I'm spacing out on it like crazy, if anybody has ideas about a good title just message me. It'll really help! I truly hope that you guys liked this!

Thirty Five/ Epilogue: My Big Happy Family (Part Two)

2.5 Years Later

Jupiter sat at her vanity mirror, trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her hair. I don't want my chubby ass face being shown today...maybe keeping my hair down might be the best thing to do. The bedroom door opened slowly and Franklin walked inside, causing her to look at him through the mirror.

"You okay baby?" He asked her.

She nodded and said, "Yup, just need to sit down for a minute."

"You're feet's hurting again isn't it? I told you that'll happen if you keep wearing heels."

"But I really liked those heels." She pouted playfully.

"Yeah but your feet aint like 'em this time." He joked, walking over to her. "You want me to soak them again?"

Jupiter chuckled and shook her head, "Franklin, I'm fine. I'm pregnant, not disabled."

"Excuse the fuck outta me for trying to make you feel comfortable." He said, rolling his eyes playfully.

"Ugh, don't put it like that. Now I feel bad." She joked back as she held on to the back of the chair to stand herself up.

Franklin grabbed her hand and said, "Before we go back out, I need to show you something."

"Uh, okay." Jupiter said.

He took her out of their bedroom and walked by the nursery that had just finished being built a couple of days ago. It was huge, and in it sat two cribs, one on each side of the room. Okay, if you haven't figured it out by now, Jupiter is indeed pregnant. It seemed as though her and Franklin were about to be blessed with not one child, but with twins (one boy and one girl to be exact).

They made their way up the stairs and into Franklin's study, when he pulled out a folder from one of his desks and handed it to her. She took it and opened it, looking at some of the papers that were inside of it.

"What's this? Stocks?" She asked him, and he nodded. "I'm confused..." She said.

"When we started going together three years ago, I took half of the money that I had and invested it in some shares. The other half I just used for everything else." He said. "At first my investments didn't do so well, and I lost some of the money. But then it just...went up like crazy. And it's been going up every since."

Jupiter looked at him in surprise, and looked back at some of the papers. "F...this is a lot of money..."

"Mhmm."

"And it's...it's all yours?"

"Uh uh." He placed his hand on her huge belly and gave her a kiss. "It's all ours. I saved it all because I knew you were the person I wanted to start a family with. And I wanted to make sure that you would never have to work again."

Jupiter blushed deeply and looked down at her own belly. "I can't believe you did this for us..."

"Believe it baby." Franklin kissed her neck, and then her lips again. "I took the money I had gotten illegally and finally did something legal with it. J, we got enough money to put the twins through graduate school."

Jupiter felt choked up, and placed her hand on Franklin's cheek. "Thank you..."

"No, thank you for letting me into your life. I love you..." He said.

"I love you too." She said back.

"Now, we really should get back outside. There can't be a baby shower without the people having the baby, right?"

Jupiter laughed and nodded her head, "Yeah, I guess you're right. Let's go."

They made their way to the backyard of Franklin's house (which was now officially Jupiter's house as well), where the rest of their family and friends were. That day was the day of their baby shower, where everyone was celebrating the fact that Franklin and Jupiter were about to be parents for the first time. The people who were in attendance were Michael (Amanda, Tracy and Jimmy were there too), Trevor, Lamar, Priscilla, Kimberleigh (who had came back from Liberty City for it), Destiny, Kaori and Kyoka. They had spent the next hour eating, drinking and joking around with each other. Kimberleigh and Priscilla had left for awhile to get their surprise, which turned out to be a huge cake made by the same person who had made Franklin's 26th birthday cake years ago. It was in the shape of two babies, one boy and one girl, holding hands and had "Congratulations Jupiter and Franklin" written across it.

The sun had begun to set, and Franklin and Lamar lit up the tiki candles they had set up all around the backyard. They walked back over to the group, just as Kimberleigh turned down the music that was playing from her speaker.

"Before we open the gifts and eat cake and all that jazz, I just wanted to say a few things to my sister, and to Franklin." She started. Everyone eventually quieted down, and she continued. "I never thought I'd see the day where my baby sister is about to have a little one...two little ones at that. Tiana...or should I say Jupiter," She laughed and everyone else did as well. "I'm so proud of you baby girl, and I know that mommy and Mitch are proud of you too. Franklin, thanks for always being there for her, and I know you're gonna be a great father to my niece and my nephew. I love you guysss." She finished.

"Love you too!" Jupiter said back. "Thanks baby!"

Everyone clapped and cheered, just as Jupiter stood up slowly and waddled over to where Kimberleigh was. They gave each other a hug, and Jupiter whispered something in her hair, causing Kimberleigh to nod and sit back down in the chair she was sitting in previously.

"Um...hearing Kimberleigh speak just made me remember what I wanted to say before the baby shower's over..." Jupiter said, playing with her fingers. It fell silent again, and all eyes were on her this time. She took a deep breath and continued, "When I moved here three years ago, I had no idea what I was getting myself into...all I knew was that I was in hiding, and I just wanted to finish school. Well, I'm finished with school, and I'm sort of not in hiding anymore. Because of being heartbroken in the worse way possible when I lived in Liberty City, I didn't expect anything to happen as far as my love life was concerned."

She looked at Franklin and said, "I never even thought that I would meet my soul mate here either...let alone after only living here for one day." He smiled at her sweetly, and she returned it with a warm smile of her own.

"I just want to say thank you to every single person here...without you guys, I don't know where I would be right now. I just know that I wouldn't be as happy as I am now. I was told every single time I went to the hospital...every time something major happened to me, that there was a very, very slim chance I would be able to get pregnant. And here I am, pregnant, with two babies at that. So it definitely shows that there is some type of higher being that had another plan for me.

"Michael, Trevor, Lamar...you guys are like the dysfunctional brotherly family I never imagined having, but I'm so happy that I have. Thanks for always having my back, and my mans back whenever something needed to go down.

"Destiny, Kyoka and Kaori...I love you girls, and thanks for the best three years of my college life. You guys are the epitome of sisters, and I'm glad I chose you as the twins' godmothers. Kimberleigh...we've been through so much since we were younger. Thanks for always being there for me, and thanks for being my shoulder to cry on even though your on the other side of the country. I love you big sis."

"I love you too!" Kimberleigh said back, with a huge smile on her face.

"Priscilla...you were the very first friend I made in Los Santos. Even though we both went through some shit, you've always been there for me. You're my best friend, and I really do love you."

Priscilla smiled and said, "Love you too, it'll never stop!"

"And lastly..." Jupiter looked back at Franklin and paused for a second, before continuing. "Baby...you honestly are the best thing that's ever happened to me. You accepted me for who I am, flaws and all. To say that I love you would be a fucking understatement, because it's way more than that. You are my heart, and I wouldn't rather be with anyone else. I couldn't choose a better a person to settle down and start a family with...I really want to spend the rest of my life with you..." She found herself getting choked up, and everyone noticed the tears forming in her eyes.

"Awww, it's okay J, let it out!" Destiny called out.

"I love you so much, Franklin..." She said hoarsely. Franklin had walked up to her and gave her a kiss, and a hug afterward.

"I love you too, Jupiter." He smiled as he wiped the tears from her eyes.

Everyone cheered again and made a toast to Franklin and Jupiter starting a family (everyone had alcohol accept for Jupiter, who had a glass of virgin pina colada instead). Kimberleigh turned the music back on as Jupiter sat down in the chair that was especially made for her. She began going through the huge pile of gifts, and reading the cards that came with them as well. Franklin helped her go through some of the gifts for a few minutes, but stopped. He took a second to take it all in...everything that was happening was what he wanted in his life. He never had a father, and now he was getting the chance to be a father to two kids. He thought he would never find love again after his ex-girlfriend Tanisha, but here he was, with the woman who was his soul mate. He had a surprise of his own for Jupiter, and he was going to show her what it was after the gifts were open.

When all of the gifts were opened, it was revealed to be two double strollers, four bassinets, two walkers, tons of wash cloths, baby hygiene products, baby boy and baby girl clothes, toys and a playpen. Franklin and Jupiter had gotten over 500 dollars in department store gift cards, and almost 1,000 dollars in debit gift cards. Kimberleigh had two special quilts made, one blue quilt that had "Mitchell" across it, and one pink and purple one that had "Mercy" across it (Mitchell and Mercy were the names of their unborn twins). Jupiter had fell in love with every single gift and found herself tearing up once again.

"Is that all of the gifts?" Destiny asked.

"I think so..." Jupiter said, looking around.

Now's my chance, Franklin thought to himself. Out loud he said, "Nah, there's one more. I'll go get it."

"Um, okay..." Jupiter said with a confused expression.

He walked back into the house and went to his bedroom, taking out the small box that was hidden pretty well in his boxer drawer. He opened it and saw the ring, with little diamonds going around the band, and a huge diamond in the middle of it and smiled, closing the box again and walking out of the room. He placed the box in his pocket and walked back outside to where everyone else was. Jupiter saw him empty handed and was confused once again.

"Uh, did you find the last gift baby?" She asked him.

Franklin nodded slowly, "Yeah."

She looked around him and saw nothing. "Well, where is it?" She smirked.

He smirked back and grabbed her hands, standing her up. Everyone else stopped doing what they were doing, because they thought he was about to dance with her. Little did they know...

"Baby..." He trailed off.

"Yes? Are you okay?" She looked worried now.

"I'm good...you know I love you, right?" He asked.

"Yes...why?" She said.

He let go of one of her hands and slowly got down on one knee. Kimberleigh, Destiny, Kyoka and Kaori gasped loudly, and Jupiter's heart began beating rapidly.

"Oh my God...!" Jupiter turned away momentarily, but turned back to Franklin with tears falling from her eyes like a water faucet.

Franklin smiled and continued, "You know that I love you, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. Now I'm not sure which name to call you by, so I'm just gonna say the name I know you as..." He took out the small box from his pocket and opened it, revealing the engagement ring he had brought the week before. Jupiter noticed how beautiful the ring was, and how huge the rock on the ring was and began crying even more.

"Jupiter Aensland...will you marry me?" He asked her softly.

She covered her mouth and nodded quickly, crying her eyes out. "Yes!"

Franklin took her ring out of the box and placed it on her finger before standing back up. Jupiter pulled him into a hug and hugged him tight, while everyone cheered loudly. Kimberleigh, who was crying out of happiness for her little sister, took out her phone and took a picture of the two of them hugging each other.

"I love you..." Jupiter cried as she continued to hug Franklin.

"I'll always love you. Don't ever forget it." Franklin said as he hugged her back and showered her in kisses.

"When a man truly loves a woman, she becomes his weakness. When a woman truly loves a man, he becomes her strength. This is called Exchange of Power."
