Epilogue

Yesss.  This book had one one those !!! Check out the POV ;)

X A V I E R

Twenty years.

That's a hella of a long time huh.

Well that's how long Danny and I have been together for. I think it's perfectly fine to say that's nothing short of amazing. Twenty years with someone you can't stop loving? I never would of thought that was even possible. For someone like me also. It's pretty epic honestly and I couldn't be happier. We've had a long journey, through ups and downs, always managing to come out stronger at the end.

It's been a long journey and it's not over yet.

Looking back at all those memories I feel we've come a long way. At eighteen we graduated, Danny, even though my princess performed exceptionally well,  she decided rather to go down the sports road and fulfil a career in football. I on the other hand went into sound engineering after apparently having an "obsession" with wavelengths or something.  Am I proud of her? Of us?

Definitely.

Even after that ridiculous stunt, sweetheart pulled back in highschool where she pretended to be a boy for a good few months. Around the time I completed studying in university, Danny had already got accepted into Tottenham's women team where she played for the under 23 for our country - as captain. Eventually I did propose to her (the details I won't share as yet, but nevertheless she said yes). Later on she got pregnant with twins whom we named the girl Rouge Ambers and the boy we called Argent Red. Three years after, Violette was born, Danny took a break to let her body rest, and then was back on her feet, playing the game she loved.

I remember the times, I use to bring the kids to watch her play. That made her so happy - to see her family supporting her from the stands. The children shouted for their mother, watching her with amazement. A new glint began to show in Danny's gorgeous eyes that I've never seen before.

Fifteen months ago, I was working in a lab, like I always dreamed of, Danny played once more in the FIFAW and our country reigned as champions. She decided that was it, she felt happy and retired.

And now she's in hospital ready to give birth to out forth (and hopefully last) child.

I'm sitting outside the room, with the other three kids, Rouge now eight years, in my lap, her luscious brown locks bouncing around as she fidgets with the hem of her pink dress.

"Daddy, how long more?" She asks me, an adorable smile on her face, amber eyes gleaming with curiosity. 

"We just wait princess," I chuckle, stroking her silky hair.

Violette pokes my shoulder and I turn my head, in her hand is a green-yellow tennis ball and she tosses it between her hands. I find that pretty impressive for a six year old.

"Are they going to hurt mummy?" Violette asks pushing her hazel brown tendrils of her short hair behind her ear. Her words sounding slightly incoherent with the missing front teeth.

"No of course not sweetie," I reply shifting Rouge's small frame so I can talk to her sister,"Why would you think that?"

Violette gives me a shrug and goes back to playing with the ball, miss calculating the aim and landing it on Argent's head, across the passage. 

"Ouch," He cries out rubbing the sore spot,"Not the hair Lettie!"

Rouge and I stifle a laugh, watching as the two argue. Both their deep, brown eyes burning, Argent trying to fix his white hair as he shouts his smaller sister.

"Dad! Violette is being nauseating!" He complains pointing a finger at my younger child. 

It's amazing how these children are so similar to Danny and I. It leaves me awestruck. Rouge with her amber eyes and don't care personality, Argent's white hair and brilliance, Violette's love for football says it all.

I wonder what the next will be like.

It doesn't matter though, I love each of them and their uniqueness.

A few seconds later Violette shrieks, not angrily. Happily. I see Danny's parents walk in, hugging the two children before making their way over to me. Pete comes a second later, swinging his keys.

"It's good to see you Xavier," His father greets me as I stand up, placing Rouge on the chair and shake my father-in-laws hand, then Peter's.

"You to Quentin," I nod with a smile and give Danny's mother, Sarah a brief hug.

The two sit next to Argent, as they discuss the soon to be born baby, with one more smile I sit back down myself waiting for the rest. Amelia sent me a message earlier, she and Mark couldn't make it to come because their only child Ambrosia had a urgent dentist appointment.

"You ready for a forth kid?" Peter asks sitting next to me, his head bent and arms resting on his knees. 

I sigh, "Maybe it'll be easier with Rose retired, and the kids are more independent then before"

My brother-in-law nods understandingly, like his sister, he went into sports opening a gym with his business management degree and married his girlfriend whom they have two children with.

Blake arrives sometime later, sporting his usual suit and always immaculately dressed as the owner of Rays Motors should. He travels to much, perhaps that's why he's still single and so chilled. Not that I'm jealous. He has no idea what's be missing out on. Danny's and my brothers chatted for some time, the children playing with each other and talking to whoever they could catch the attention of. It's fair to say though that I'm freaking out.

Shaking my leg I try to distract myself. Four kids just seem a bit of a stretch at the present moment. It's scary actually. You'd think after the first three I would be a bit more prepared but I'm not.

Jackson saunters in some time later his wife Becky looking like she's about to give birth.

Haha get it?

Shit I'm scared.

Their daughter Charlotte traps me in a bear hug, squealing with excitement.

"Is it true, Uncle X, Aunt's having another baby!" She gleamed happily. 

I give her a smile nodding, "That's right Char, pretty exciting right?"

She grins running back to her mother whose trying to get their younger son Noah to get everyone. His a year younger than Charlotte whose the same age as Arge and Rouge. The Hemsworths had opened up a records studio franchise across the country.

"Xavier!" Becky practically growls storming up to me.

Crap.

"You didn't give us a call to say Danny was in hospital!" She frowned at me, her hands placed on her hips.

"Jac calm down your wife," I deadpan. My best friend comes up a second later groaning. Noah clutching his arm.

"Sweetie, he did, you were asleep," He tells Bec holding her shoulders.

A second later, Bec is reprimanding JK and I sneak away trying not to get involved,"Hey, Noah come on, let's go see Lottie," I whisper motioning with my head and bending to his level.

His eyes light up when he spots Violette and immediately runs over to the group of kids. I chuckle and follow.

"Daddy!"Rouge calls me in her ordering voice. This kid is going to be way to much like Amelia.

"Yes princess?" I ask.

She beckons for her other two siblings, they both roll their brown eyes and come anyway.

"We have been deciding on names,"Rouge quipped. Violette stops playing with her black hair pigtails and nods.

"Is that so?"

"Yes dad, the baby must have a name that represents one of us," My current youngest says,"Like how I look like Aunt Amelia"

"Exactly,"Argent nods,"He should also be named after a a colour, but not a different language"

"Yeah!" The girls agree and my eyes widen. These kids are going to turn the world upside down. Should I be proud or worried? Definitely the former. 

"And should be named for one of his physical qualities," Rouge adds pronouncing both last words incorrectly.

Damn these children of mine are something else entirely.

Before I can respond the door opens, my head whips around as a nurse comes out,  my fingers shake and I feel my breath shortening. This is it. The forth child of the Rays family. 

Danny follows shortly and my breath hitches. I wish I could've been inside there with her. In her arms is a wrapped up cloth. Rushing up to her I hold her arms, she gives me a weak smile, and opens the cloth a bit more.

The children stand around my feet eagerly.

"What's his name?" One of them ask

I look at Danny's beautiful green eyes and then the baby's, the name already decided as we answer simultaneously.

"Sage"

******THE END*****

Ohmigosh, ohmigosh, ohmigosh !!!!

Yes I'm hyperventilating. 

This is it. The end of SAS! I can't believe it. After 26 chapters and an epilogue who would of thought? I'm beyond thrilled to having completed this story with all of you guys out there. It really wouldn't of been possible without you readers

Also I haven't really witnesses someone almost giving birth so I'm not sure how the whole hospital thing works. So sorry about that🙈

But thank you all the same, my gratitude has no limits and neither does my Excitement.
