What will happen to me now? I know I'll have to go to court and testify or whatever but what about after that? Where will I go?

For the very last time... theme song pls :(

"Daddyyyyyy! Come hereeeees!"

"What's up, sugarrrr?" Tony asks walking into the living room.

Tony and Jeanne's son, Wells, sits on the floor in front of Gibbs' fireplace playing with toys out of a toy box that Gibbs has stashed away for Wells, his sister, Everlee, and his cousins.

"Whatcha got there, Welly?"

"I gots a dolly! She's weally pwetty! It'z Elza!"

"I see that, bubs. You wanna know a secret? Come close, come close."

"What's it Daddy?"

"Nana Jenny has a cookie for you in the kitchen."

The three-year-old jumps up and runs to the kitchen, long forgetting his Elsa doll. Tony follows him to see all of the kids sitting on the counter in a row from oldest to youngest.

The line goes Maeve, Layla, Magnus, Maverick, Maximus, Easton, Ezra, Savannah, Everlee, and Wells.

Let's start with Tim and his wife, Delilah's, children. Maeve, Magnus, Maverick, and Maximus. They decided to go with M names for their children (who knows why). 

Maeve, their eldest, is 9 years old. She has long platinum blonde hair that she often wears in two French braids or in a half ponytail high on her head. She is a good kid who always does what she's told and is always polite.

Maverick, Magnus, and Maximus are the 6-year-old triplets. The family tends to call them the M&M&M's. They are identical so they all have their own bracelets with their own color. The boys like to dress the exact same but different colors. Mav and Mag are the main troublemakers while Max is their mediator. Partners in crime those two.

Now onto Tony and Jeanne's kids, Savannah and Wells. They are twins, both 3 years old. Savannah is a few minutes older than Wells but not by much. The two of them are both obsessed with dolls and Disney movies, princess movies are the only thing they'll allow to be playing on the tv back at their house.

Everlee is a really sweet and smart kid, much like her Aunt Abs. She has blonde hair and honestly looks a lot more like Ellie than she does Tony or Jeanne.

Wells is adventurous, he likes skateboarding/longboarding with his dad and surfing when they're up at the beach. He also has blonde hair, but he always hides it with his backwards caps.

Next we have Ziva's kid. She doesn't have a husband or a partner, so she decided to just adopt because she really wanted to start a family.

Layla, 8 years old, is a sweet soul, always helping everyone out. She enjoys dogs and flower crowns.

Onto Nick and his girlfriend's son Easton.

He is 4 years old and enjoys coloring and playing superheroes with his "twin," Ezra.

Now onto Ellie and her boyfriend's kids, Ezra and Savannah.

Ezra and Easton just happened to be born on the same day so they are known as the twins. 

Savannah loves playing around with her cousin's Layla and Everlee. She's got these beautiful curls and bright blue eyes that are just breathtaking. The thing that people find funny is that her brother Ezra has dark brown eyes whilst she has her blue ones.

"Uncle Tony! Would you like a cookie?" Maeve asks.

"No thanks Maevey, I'm still stuffed from brunch." He puffs out his stomach and places his hands there, making the kids laugh.

"You look like Santa," Easton giggles out, chocolate all over his face.

Tony walks over and stands next to his wonderful wife, looping his arm around the small of her back. He finds himself staring, just admiring her.

Jeanne got the help she needed, getting into therapy almost immediately after her mom was behind bars. It took a while but she got there, they all did. She's still in therapy, so are Ellie and Nick.

Tony kisses his wife of 5 years on the temple before letting his gaze land on the scene in front of him, all of the kids sitting on the counter, laughing to some stupid joke Abby told, chocolate all over their faces.

At this moment Tony realized that life was finally good.

Life is good.

--------------------------

That's it! It's finally done. I can't believe it. 3 years ago, I was just a kid sitting at the computer in my kitchen eating bread and drinking coffee from Panera, slouched on my stool, scrolling through a prompts list and stumbling across one that said, "Your favorite TV characters as a family."

It honestly hurts for it to be over; I don't want to click the completed button because that means that it really is over. 

Thank you to all of you who stuck with me for this. Special thanks to @37YearsLater because you stuck through it and encouraged me to write (especially when we both got our covid shots haha).

Here's me signing off for the last time. Thank you again!
