they got married a year later.

as promised, mary was the maid of honor, and calum was the best man. the two of them got drunk together and immediately hit it off. They themselves engaged nine months later, and, seven months after that, married.

"they played matchmaker for us, and now look at them," julia said fondly, watching her two friends having their first dance as a married couple.

luke smiled, an arm around julia's waist. "a beautiful couple," he agreed. "but not as beautiful as you."

"i'm all fat now," julia disagreed.

luke ran a hand over her stomach protectively. "are you doing okay?"

she kissed him. "perfect."

he smiled. "good."

julia and luke's daughter rose was born a few months after mary and calum's wedding. to nobody's surprise, the new couple was pronounced the godparents of little baby rose hemmings.

naturally, rose's room was filled with pink, a signature color of her mother's.

and rose would get pink flowers for all of her birthdays. she never quite understood why, but her parents assured her that pink was something like the family color.

mary and calum would have a son just a six months after rose. baby henry hood and baby rose hemmings were good friends.

"i love you always," luke whispered to julia.

"i love you, too."
