a/n: I already started writing the epilogue cause I was so hype xD

So my health final was so easy. The bad part, though, is that I had an 'essay' question (more like paragraph) and I decided to write this paragraph on why abstinence benefits my health. I had to have at least five sentences and I only had three. 'Abstinence helps benefit my health. Thanks to my practicing abstinence I won't be getting pregnant at __. I also won't be getting STD's.' literally I just went on and on about not having a boyfriend to not practice abstinence with after this because I didn't know what to do. Now my gym teacher, who's a guy, knows all about my non-existent love life. xD

Speaking of love lives, my sister has one now. I forgot to tell you guys but on Wednesday her Junior Prom (we call it ring dance at my school) date asked her to be his girlfriend. It was cute. He had no confidence also so it was funny as hell to see everyone yelling at him to just spit it out already while my sister stood there in embarrassment. What's even better though is he has the SAME EXCACT NAME as my dad's best friend. Like, first and last. Not middle, thank gosh. So today on the announcements Matt, her boyfriend, name came up and I was like, 'When did dad's friend grow young enough to go here?' and it took me a second xD

Also, today while I was on the bus I was on my kindle. When I turn my kindle on it gives me ads because it likes to be difficult while I try and type in my password (my kindle has a pass just like my iPod and my laptop. Can't trust my family.)  And the ad that popped up was Exile and I literally squealed really loud and James, the senior who stalks my sister, was all like, "What?" So I showed him the book and he was like, "So what?"

and I literally shouted, "YOU DO NOT USE THAT TONE IN FRONT OF MY HUSBAND YOU BUTTHOLE!" and my friend Gabby was like "chill."

anywhos. I'm going to give you all a name. 

Hi people c:

"Hi Forkle," Sophie greeted, smiling slightly. She held Kenric up and passed him into Forkle's arms.

"I didn't know you guys were coming," Forkle exclaimed, looking to Kenric. "Did she tell me you guys were coming over?" he questioned, walking them into the living room where Sophie's human parents were sitting in front of a scrabble board.

"It's kind of a last minute thing," Sophie explained as Forkle set Kenric down in his baby seat at Forkle's kitchen table.

"What is it about?"

"Well, you know how much we love Kenric?" Sophie questioned, poking her son's cheek playfully which made him giggle. 

"Yeah. . . "

"Well, how about you tell him Kenric?" Sophie moved so her knees were bent and she was eye-level with Kenric. 

Kenric beamed and turned to Forkle. "I'm gonna be an older brother," he spoke proudly.

Sophie grinned at him and kissed his cheek before turning back to Forkle and smiling softly. Mr. Forkle gave her a small hug. "Congratulations!" He beamed. "Hey, how's mentoring?"

She took a seat and started to watch the game of scrabble they were playing. She shrugged. "Kamry's really improving and I think if I spend enough time coaching her right now she can learn to do positive infl--uences on people like me." Sophie cut herself off when she remembered her human parents being in the room. "And Julia is just plain fantastic. I don't know what I did to get such an amazing prodigy. I actually trusted her enough to babysit Kenric on Saturday."

"You guys never let anyone babysit," Forkle said with a gasp. "I mean... Kenric is always with at least one of you."

Sophie rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I told Keefe that and after a few minutes I finally convinced him to go out with me. That's when I told him about baby Sencen number two." She smiled.

"Hunger," Forkle mumbled, placing letter on the scrabble board before turning to Sophie. "How far along are you?"

She frowned and traced her thoughts. "Let's see... uh... stuff happened... then about... Uh, about three weeks," she answered.

"Did you tell everyone yet?"

She laughed at that. "Yeah. It's awesome though. We told Dex, we told Biana, but they don't know the other person knows and think that they have to keep it a secret. Same for Ashla and Fitz."

"You guys are evil," Connor joked.

Sophie shrugged. "I mean... I am married to Keefe," she said, rolling her eyes.

"Remember that inflicting isn't just some mind trick like telepathy. It's straight from the heart. Think with your heart, not your mind." Sophie stared at Kamry cautiously.

"Why is it always me you bring in to get hurt?" Keefe questioned in a complaint. 

"Because you're the only one who I can actually force into this," she answered, smiling. She turned back to Kamry. "Ready?"

Kamry nodded and took a deep breath before looking at Keefe. She closed her eyes and tried to inflict. After a few seconds it started working but Sophie made her stop. "I don't want you to accidentally kill him," she explained, rubbing her hand on his shoulder. "I still like him."

He looked at her. "Oh? So you only like me now?"

She smiled and gave him a quick kiss. "Go. I need to finish my lesson," she ordered.

He rolled his eyes and looked at Kamry. "See how much my wife appreciates me?"

"Who's watching Kenric?" Sophie asked curiously. 

"Uh... Your parents," he said. "You dropped him off there this morning like you said, right?"

She shook her head. "Uh... No... I-" Her eyes widened at the same time as his. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? GO HOME!" He quickly ran out of the room and she dropped her jaw and turned to Kamry. "I can't believe we left him at home alone." She let out a sigh. "This conversation never goes out of this room," she said, pointing.

Kamry nodded, trying not to smile.

When Sophie got home she immediately went over to Keefe and slapped him behind the head before realizing that Fitz, Ashla, Dex, and Biana were all in the room. He turned around and glared at her. "What was that for?"

She put her bag on the couch. "You know why."

He rolled his eyes. "It was your fault."

She shook her head. "No, it wasn't. You weren't supposed to do that."

"How was I supposed to know when you said-"

"I didn't say anything," she cut him off. 

"You said you would drop him off before," Keefe argued. 

"When?"

"When-"

"What are you guys fighting about now?" Ashla asked, rolling her eyes. 

"He left Kenric at our house, alone, for the first half of today," Sophie explained, glaring at Keefe. 

"You told me you dropped him of at Grady and Edaline's house," he said. 

"I told you right before I left that I didn't have time and that you had to drop him off before you came to help me. I should have let her last a few more seconds." Sophie narrowed her eyes.

"You guys both left your son at home, not just Keefe," Biana spoke up. "Take some blame, Sophie." She rolled her eyes. 

"I admit that yes, I was supposed to bring him to my parents... But Keefe was alone in a house with him for two hours and never even thought about it."

"She's got you there, dude," Fitz said, shrugging. 

"Yeah. What were you thinking?"

___

"We started a scrapbook," Sophie said, smiling. After a long conversation everyone agreed to never mention the story again until Kenric's future wedding. 

"What does it start with?" Edaline asked, grinning. 

"It starts with pictures of both of us from when we were young. Then it goes into us and Kenric then mostly Kenric because he's just so adorable," Sophie responded, grinning at her son who was on the couch next to her. She reached in her bag and took it out. "I feel weird having a scrapbook but I couldn't help it."

She handed it to Edaline who started to flip through it. "Aww, this picture of the five of you is just precious," Edaline cooed. She looked at Sophie. "Are you ever going to tell Kenric about the Black Swan?"

Sophie sighed. "Well..."

and then she wrote the keeper of the lost cities series under a pen name and the end.
