Chapter 21: Epilogue

November was at its end and snow had begun to fall outside the windows of all the houses.

Sonya and Angela were back from their honeymoons and the first thing they did was meet up with Hazel at their old house. The men were at the new Underworld nightclub that was opening soon for its grand reveal. All the girls, including Scar were huddled around the living-room in their pyjamas with food laid out in front of them and wine too. The house smelt of candles and the warmth of a fire that the two girls could never forget. This place held many memories and they were both happy that Hazel kept it alive.

First off, Sonya told the whole story of how Axe drove them to a massive house that he got for their honeymoon and she had spent the whole time decorating it to fit them. Axe was less interested in decorating and more into other things. But both of them enjoyed the food that she cooking over there. She didn't forget to mention that there were peacocks as well in front of the house, which was spectacular. They all got to see it through the photos she took for them.

Angela shared that she had a great time in Italy, despite everything that happened with her parents there. But with Trez by her side, she was happy. Everything was perfect and being there with Trez allowed her to heal too. They stayed at his villa there by the lake where they spent most of their time. Apart from all the shopping trips she made, which paid off because everyone loved their gifts. Sonya brought back souvenirs too and Hazel was already wearing the long sleeve blouse that she got her.

Scar was looking at all the pictures and she had taken it upon herself to run the Angel's Cafe while the girls were gone. Hazel helped out too and she was thinking of quitting her job at the boutique, so they could all work together again.

"We should plan a trip with us girls next time," Sonya suggested.

Hazel clapped her hands together. "India and Italy," she said. "I am so ready for that."

Angela laughed. "Perhaps, in the new year," she said. "What do you think, Scar?"

Scar looked up from the pictures. "I haven't been outside of Brooklyn," she admitted nervously.

All three girls gaped as their mouths fell open.

"Okay, cancel all plans," Sonya said. "We are taking this woman everywhere!"

"We have to," Hazel astounded.

"I don't know," Scar said. "I'm not that great in new places."

"We'll be there with you," Angela assured.

Scar peeked a soft smile. "Well, if you guys are with me then, I'll think about it," she said.

Sonya hugged Scar. "You're so precious, I just want to pinch your cheeks," she cooed.

Scar blushed crimson. "Wh-what?" She made them laugh again.

Hazel sighed. "I missed this," she said and they all agreed. "Also, you two haven't touched the wine. Do you not like it?"

Sonya and Angela glanced at each other. "I'm just not craving it," Angela said.

"Why not?" Sonya asked her.

Angela crossed her arms. "Well, why aren't you drinking it?" she asked.

Sonya shrugged. "I'm not allowed," she told them as she stood up. "I'll make myself some hot chocolate instead."

"Not chai?" Scar asked.

"I kept some here for you to use in case you came over," Hazel said.

Angela got to her feet and faced her friend. "What's going on?" she questioned.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Sonya answered.

"Am I missing something?" Scar asked on the side.

"I think we all are," Hazel pitched in.

Angela screamed and covered her mouth with excitement. "Are you-"

"Are you?" Sonya asked then as she felt herself bubble with excitement.

Hazel rushed up onto her feet. "Oh my god!" she exclaimed. "Don't tell me you're-" she covered her mouth without finishing her thought.

"I'm still lost," Scar said.

"They're both pregnant!" Hazel announced.

"Oh!" Scar got to her feet. "Is that true?"

Sonya looked at Angela. "I'm pregnant," she revealed.

"Me too!" Angela started crying as she jumped into her friend's arms.

"Does Axe and Trez know?" Hazel asked.

Sonya wiped her cheeks. "Axe knows," she said.

"Trez knows too," Angela grabbed the tissue from Scar and blew her nose and wiped her tears.

Hazel came over and hugged them. "When is the baby shower?"

The girls laughed as they all sat down again now that the news was out in the open. Scar hurried to the kitchen and made them both hot chocolate with loads of marshmallows and brought it to them.

"I will take care of every need," Scar avowed as she sat with them again. "Anything you crave or want, let me know."

Angela and Sonya laughed. "We know and we love you for it," Angela laid her hand on Scar's supportively as the woman's purple eyes shined with determination.

"I can't believe it," Hazel squealed. "This is so exciting."

"Do you want a girl or boy?" Sonya asked Angela.

"I don't know," Angela said. "You?"

"I want girls for both of us, so they can be friends," she smiled at her as they held hands.

"And how lucky are they going to be for getting two fabulous aunts," Angela jested as she looked at Hazel and Scar.

"I am going to spoil them rotten," Hazel declared. "Don't even try to stop me."

"I'm counting on it," Sonya said.

"I will protect them with my life," Scar pledged sternly.

Sonya and Angela hugged their friends again and they all huddled up in front of the fire when their phones rung. Angela pulled hers out and she ran out the room same with Sonya and it was obvious that their mates called. However, they weren't planning on coming home tonight. They had the night off to stay with Hazel at this house.

They both returned to their spots and laid down on the floor with all the pillows as Sonya continued to show more photos. Angela hurried out of bed and brought the camera she had on her to take one more photo before the end of the night. The four of them sat in their red and green pyjamas as they beamed up at the lens capturing this moment forever.
