EPILOGUE
~Five Years Later~
-Bobby's P.O.V-
I shivered as the wind blew. I placed the flowers neatly down onto the grave and deeply sighed. I hated coming here, so I didn't come often. I tried to avoid this place as much as I could. I picked up some of the leafs that had fallen onto the grave and threw them behind me. The grave was always messy at winter time.
"Saraya, don't stand on that sweetheart" I reached to my left and took ahold of her small hand, gently pulling my daughter to my side.
"But daddy it looks so pretty" She sulked. She had been admiring another grave. I gave her a small smile.
"I know but who ever is there is resting and I'm sure they wouldn't want to be disturbed, would they?" I asked her, my voice gentle. She pouted and shook her head. She is so cute.
"I'm hungry" She told me, looking up at me with her hazel eyes. Saraya was Lucy's double! Same facial features and the same beautiful curls.
"Okay, let's go home" I mumbled and stood up. I scooped her up into my arms, she wrapped her arms around my neck, hanging on tightly. "Say goodbye Saraya"
"Goodbye Saraya" Her little voice squeaked. I playfully rolled my eyes and chuckled at her silliness. I took one last look at the grave before walking back to the car. I placed her into the back seat, making sure her seat belt was buckled before climbing into the car and starting the engine.
"Do you want the radio on?" I asked her. She nodded and I turned it on. 'Right here waiting for you' by Richard Marx began to play. I tapped my finger on the steering wheel, humming along to the song. I couldn't help but reminisce on the year of 1984, one of my best years, the year I met the love of my life. A small smile spread across my lips at the memories.

"I'm hoooooome!" Saraya screamed out, something she always did whenever she came home. I closed the front door behind me. I reached down and grabbed the pile of letters resting on the cabinet by the door.
"Hi baby! How was your day?" The sound of my wife's voice echoed through the house, making my heart flutter. No matter how many years went by, she still had that effect on me. I followed Saraya into the kitchen. Lucy was sat feeding our 7 month old son.
"Koah, open wide" She sang and brought the spoon down to Koah's mouth. Koah started flailing his arms and opened his mouth wide, his tongue sticking out slightly. I stood at the door, crossing my arms across my chest and watched in admiration. She's the perfect mother for my children. "How's my grandmothers grave?"
"I cleaned it as much as I could, the leafs will more than likely blow back onto it though" I answered her.
"Mommy I'm hungry" Saraya moaned once again, her tummy rumbling.
"Bobby will you take over?" She asked holding the bowl and spoon out to me. I walked over and took them off of her. I bent down and kissed her lips before letting her leave.
"Hey my little man" I greeted, beaming over at my son. He opened and closed his hand repeatedly.
"Do you want me to make you a sandwich for now?" Lucy asked our daughter.
"Yes please" Saraya replied. She pulled a chair next to me and climbed onto it. I looked down at her, she was looking straight at her brother. "Can I feed him Daddy?"
"Of course you can" I quickly put down the bowl and pulled her into my lap. She grabbed the spoon and put it towards Koah's mouth.
"Open" She demanded, Koah only stared at her with a blank expression. "Why won't he open his mouth, is he broken?"
I heard Lucy get out a small giggle as she buttered the bread, I smirked to myself.
"You have to be playful with him sweetie" I told her.
Saraya understood what I meant and began to play 'here comes the airplane'. Cheering every time Koah opened his mouth and accepted the food. She did this until the bowl was empty. I picked her up and placed her down onto the chair, pushing it towards the table so she could eat her sandwich. Koah seemed happy enough in his chair. I walked over to Lucy, who had started preparing me a coffee. I wrapped my arms around her waist and rest my head on her shoulder, inhaling her sweet scent.
"What time is Lauren coming for the kids?" I mumbled, my lips lingering on her neck.
"When she's finished at the hospital" She looked over at the clock. "So...a few minutes?" I spun her around so that she was facing me and rest my forehead against hers, staring deeply into her eyes.
"Oh shit!" The high pitched yell broke me out of my trance, the two of us looking over at Saraya in disbelief. Her sandwich now laying on the floor. I used my hand to cover my mouth, containing the laughter that threatened to spill out.
"Saraya Ann Brown" Lucy scolded. "Where did you learn that word?"
"Uncle Dutch" she muttered, looking down, her bottom lip began to tremble.
"Baby, that is a naughty word. Never say that again ok?" Lucy walked over and picked her up out of the chair.
"I'm sorry mommy" Saraya sadly spoke. Lucy held her close to her chest swaying her slightly.
"I'll be having strict words with uncle Dutch" I said, shaking my head and snickering. I know I shouldn't be laughing but I couldn't help it. That definitely caught me by surprise. I walked over and took Koah out of his chair, holding him close to me.
"Where's my niece and nephew?" We heard Lauren yell.
-Lucy's P.O.V-
Lauren offered to take the kids and watch them at her house whilst Bobby and I had our monthly date night and I couldn't thank her enough. She said it'll give her the practice for when her and Johnny's baby arrive. Lauren and Johnny are still going strong and she's now 4 months pregnant. None of us saw that coming.
I stood in only my underwear. I put my hands on my hips, looking at each dress I owned. I couldn't decide on which one to wear. Being a girl was so difficult. I scratched the back of my head and huffed.
"I don't know why it takes you so long to choose, you look amazing in anything" I heard my husband say. I turned to face him and blushed.
"You're too kind"
"And you are irresistible" Bobby walked over to me, lifting me off of the ground, my legs instantly wrapping around his waist. He walked backwards towards the bed and sat down. He held onto me tightly, refusing to let go, his head buried into my shoulder.
"Are you ok?" I asked.
"Yeah" he lifted his head back up. His finger lightly tracing my face. "You're so beautiful, how did I get so lucky?"
"I could ask myself the same thing" I kissed his forehead.
"Thank you for choosing me Lucy, thank you for not leaving me, thank you for giving me two beautiful babies and thank you for just being you. I'd be lost without you" I felt a single tear fall from my eye and run down my cheek.
"I love you Bobby, more than you'll ever know" I leaned my head down and connected our lips. My fingers tangled in his hair whilst his hands gently squeezed my waist. I pulled away to catch my breath, Bobby's lips finding my neck. I leaned my head back and let out a small moan.
"You know, we have a bit of time before we have to be at the restaurant" Bobby gazed up at me and raised his eyebrow.
"Is that right?" I smirked. "That's nice" I attempted to climb off of his lap but he flipped us over so that my back was on the mattress. I giggled as he reattached his lips to my neck. He grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head.
"I love you Lucy Brown" He leaned back down, passionately kissing me.
