Epilogue

A/N
Warning! It's very long, got kinda carried away!

"Grace! Faith! Michael! Andrew! You guys ready?" I shout upstairs. My four kids come bobbing downstairs, lugging their suitcases.

I smile, they've all grown up so much. Andrew, the oldest, is seven now, and full of energy. Faith is five, and is the ultimate sass queen. Michael is four, and loves race cars, like his grandpa. Grace, the baby, is three, she's obsessed with princesses.

"Momma, I brought my race cars. Do you think Grandpa Chad will play them with me?" Michael asks. I smile, and ruffle his blond hair, "I'm sure he will."

"Mommy, can I bring my favorite princess movie to watch with Grandma Fallon?" Grace asks. I nod, "Sure baby, but your Grandpa Chad will love it more than she will." She giggles, and toddles off.

This is the first time in a year that I'm getting to see Chad and Fallon. I miss them, and everybody else everyday. The kids haven't met the rest of the guys yet, but I know they'll love them.

"Faith, Andrew can you go get everybody's Bibles?" I ask, just knowing we'll be going to my old church. They nod, and run back upstairs.

Steve, my husband, comes in and takes some more stuff outside to our minivan. Traveling with kids, especially young kids is hard.

Soon, we're all ready. Steve and I help the kids get situated in the van, and we begin the four hour drive to Nashville.

~*~

We're here. We're here! The place I call home. Chad and Fallon are waiting on the front lawn.

I fling myself into their open arms. "I missed you guys so much," I cry. "We missed you too, darling. So happy to see you again," Chad says, kissing my hair. "We've been counting down the hours," Fallon says.

"The guys still are coming tomorrow, right?" I ask. Chad nods, "Yeah. They can't wait to see you."

"Grandpa Chad! Grandma Fallon!" The kids exclaim, racing to hug their grandparents legs. The two crouch down to their level, listening to babblings about everything from the newest princess movie, to how to make mud pies.

Chad and Fallon smile, cherishing every moment they have with their precious grandchildren.

"Steve, we made beautiful children," I sigh, leaning my head on his chest. "Yes we did. They adore your parents. They're really good with kids," he says. "I know. It's kinda shocking, they adopted me when I was fourteen, yet they can understand Gracie's gibberish."

~*~

Everybody's here. Steve and Fallon took the kids upstairs while I get reacquainted with everybody.

"Alan!" I exclaim, feeling safe in his arms. "Hey Alex, how've you bee doing?" He asks. "Busy. Kids are hard," I sigh. "I know, they're worth it though." He tells me about what his girls are up to.

I feel a tap at my shoulder, I turn around to see Caleb. "Caleb!" I exclaim, hugging him tightly. "Hey kiddo, how's life?" I giggle, noticing he hasn't changed. "Good, and you Mr. Grimm," I smirk. He grins, "Fantastic."

"Guys, where's Joey?" I ask feeling sad. "Here I am!" He exclaims, popping out from behind the couch. "Joseph! Don't ever scare me again," I say, pretending to be mad at him. "Come on, Alex, you aren't mad at me," he says, a smile playing at his lips. "Nope I'm not!" I exclaim, attacking him in the biggest hug ever.

~*~

"Andrew, Faith, Michael, Gracie, I want you guys to meet Mr. Alan, Mr. Caleb, and Mr. Joey," I say. They smile warmly, approaching their new aquantinces.

"Do you like princesses?" Gracie asks shyly. Alan smiles, and grabs her hand, "You tell me all about them."

"I like video games," Andrew says. Caleb hold up his hand for a high-five, "Me too little buddy. Have you ever played Mario Kart?"

"I like to play ballerina," Faith says. Joey lifts her up, and holds her on his hip, "Wanna teach me how to play?" Faith nods, as Joey and her head off to play.

Michael is left, but that's okay. Him and Chad play race cars. It's so adorable watching my kids, and some of the people I love the most playing together. I wish life could always be like this.

"Steve, we're so lucky," I whisper. He kisses my cheek, "Yes we are, we are blessed with the best kids ever. I'm glad I met you baby!" I blush, "I'm glad I met you too."
