Seven years later:

Jagger

"Spice...if you try to stick that thing in my backside one more time.."

I chuckled softly as the scent of her body tickled my nose.

"I love you, sugar.." I told her over and over again as I pushed deeper into her core the night before, "I can't believe you're all mine.."

"Say that again..." she whimpered, her climax only making mine stronger as we came together.

"Mine..."

We slept like babies, and woke up with babies in the bed.

"What in the world?" Julia rubbed the sleep from her eyes and peered down at a slumbering Jubilee, holding hands with her little brother, Judah.

"Wow..when did they crawl into bed with us?"

"I have no idea," Julia gasped, "I hope it wasn't,-"

I laughed, "No, I think we would have heard them."

We watched them sleep for a time and curled up next to each other, neither one of us talking—only enjoying the moment.

Julia

After the birth of Jubilee, it took my brother and Becca a year to finally come around.

When they did, we sat down and told them that it was a good thing they lived far away because it would take a while for us to trust them,

They understood—apologizing and begging for us to forgive them, which we did.

It took three years, but they adopted two boys from Romania who were the tiniest littles I had ever laid eyes on, but they were now ours—my nephews and my children's cousins.

I had Judah three years after Jubilee and he was most certainly planned—conceived on the honeymoon that Jagger finally took me on.

It was magical, blissful, a joyous time and I was in Heaven.

My sugars were wild, and I had a little trouble while pregnant with Judah, but we journeyed through it because I was strong and so was my baby.

After graduation, I was offered a job at a family pharmacy and took to it right away—not only due to my degree, but it allowed me to be with the kids.

They were my biggest blessing.

Dad eventually got the help he needed—especially after being around Jubilee.

He adored her and couldn't wait to spoil her—which he did every time they saw each other.

Jass and Jo graduated high school, making their way to separate colleges on different sides of the country, much to my mother's dismay.

She was so proud of them, but now that I was a parent, I could see the heartache when they left to start their new lives.

Heather and Moose married—not a shocker, considering they'd started their relationship not long after Julia got pregnant. Two little boys later—Zeke and Zak--and a stint in the NFL for Moose was more than they could ask for.

I found it hilarious when Heather called him by his real name. If there was ever a woman who could bring MICHAEL to his knees, it was Heather. She decided she wanted to be a stay at home mother--much to the shock of everyone, but seeing as how she owned her own cosmetic line, there was no need to work outside of the house. Moose was over the moon for her and she couldn't get enough of my bear of a friend.

Jake and Zoey became quite an eccentric item, with Jake starting a vape shop next door to Zoey's establishment. They decided that they didn't want to get married, but they had a little Wiccan ceremony even though Jake had no clue what was going on.

"I don't want the government in my business," Zoey said, "I'd rather do it this way."

Jubilee served as their flower girl and I must admit, I saw her future flash before my eyes, too.

Cody and Carlene were engaged right after school and Cody decided to become a coach for the local pee wee team instead of going professional. Carlene was a cosmetologist and started an at home business which took off right away. Before the wedding, Carlene gave birth to a little boy named Charles and the marriage has been on hold ever since.

Diaz and Mom married before my sisters left for school and I don't think I'd ever seen Mom so happy. She and Dad remained close,though and I think even Diaz was perfectly fine with it.

Dad did get the help he needed and I stayed with my doctor for a good while before she retired. We had our good days and our bad days, but we were surprisingly doing it all together.

I went fishing a lot with my father and he did what he said: became the father he always wanted to be.

I was proud of him—proud of us—proud of my wife and our friends.

Dad dated a woman that he shockingly sought my approval for and she was nice—I liked her and Chloe became a part of the family right away.

I decided to change my major to physical therapy and helped out with the injured athletes around town and the state if needed. Diaz turned some agents on to me, but I declined the offers. I wanted a peaceful life with my family—even if Julia was a little upset that she had to put away her pom poms.

We never did find out who pushed Julia down the stairs, but Sam pointed the finger at Gloria who was adamant that it was Sam and Eric was nowhere to be found after a while.

That only meant that it was the work of all three somehow and no one was going to come forward with the truth. We rarely saw them after Jubilee was born and even less as the years went by until they faded from our lives completely.

"They're stirring.." Julia whispered, "Should we tickle them?"

"I think we should!"

The giggles that ensued brought me joy—brought me to my knees.

I watched from the head of the bed as Julia was outnumbered by our little ones—knowing she was growing number three inside of that incredible body of hers.

"I love you..." I called from the bed, "I love you!!"

"Love you, Daddy!!" Jubilee squealed.

"Love you both!" Judah smiled as Julia rolled onto her stomach and found an escape.

"Hey.."

"Hey..." I winked at her, knowing exactly what she was thinking.

"After the kids go to bed.."

"Hell yeah.." I nodded, kissing her on the cheek, "Every night.."

"My jock.."

"My nerd.."

"My sugar.."

"My...." she kissed me softly, "Spice.."
