No Day But Today
So this is the last chapter, it's more like a fluff thing if anything. It'll be kinda short, but it will wrap everything up. I promise nothing bad will happen in it, so enjoy!
"You're terrible at this game." Jack teased Mark, sticking his tongue out at him.
"But I'm not, right?" Matthias interjected hopefully.
"You're on the opposite team, so yeah." Felix smirked.
Mark, Jack, Matthias and Ken were sitting on the couch in Mark's house playing Rocket League while Mary, Signe, Amanda and Marzia chatted in the kitchen, watching over Segen, Laura, and the now one year old Luna.
Chica, Maya, Edgar, and Jack's new Jack Russel puppy he named Gerald were playing behind the couch with a tug of war toy, Chica dragging the two pugs across the floor with the toy while Gerald barked excitedly at everything.
Ethan was editing Mark's first video he had recorded in years while Tyler went out to go exercise, Kathryn out getting coffee from Starbucks for everyone.
Mark had invited Nate, Felix and Marzia over, but they politely declined since Nate was busy recording in his new music studio and Felix wanted to spend alone time with Marzia for a bit.
Felix and Marzia had moved into a house nearby Mark and Amy's since even though the old Queen was in jail, they preferred to be out of the U.K. Jack and Signe had done the same since they wanted to be closer to friends.
"I'm better than you at least." Mark countered with a smirk, managing to drive past Ken's car and score another goal.
"Ken!" Jack scolded, lightly hit him in the shoulder.
"Ow, hey!" Ken pretended to look hurt.
"That's how we do it!" Matthias cheered, giving Mark a high five.
From the other room, Mark could hear Segen start to cry, so he quickly paused the game and excused himself to calm her.
When he walked in, Amy gave a tired half wave with one hand, keeping an arm around the fidgeting Segen. Neither of them had gotten much sleep lately due to the baby crying at night.
"Hey baby girl." Mark gently scooped up Segen from Amy's arms, rocking her back and forth. She quieted down after a couple of moments, curling into a tighter ball in his arms.
"Do you need a nap too?" Mark teased Amy with a small smile when he looked over at her.
"I could use coffee." She remarked with a yawn of her own.
"Did somebody say coffee?" Kathryn dramatically opened the door with a bang, scaring Segen and making the dogs bark.
"Shh, it's okay Segen." Mark tried to comfort the crying child as Luna and Laura started crying as well.
"What girlie?" Matthias gave a soft grunt as he lifted her up in his arms, gently bouncing her up and down.
"Daddy's got ya." Ken entered the room as well, lifting Laura into his arms.
"Sorry." Kathryn apologized sheepishly, setting the coffee down on the kitchen table.
"Don't be." Amy assured her, grabbing her iced dark roast and downing half of it in a couple of gulps.
"Parenting, am I right?" Matthias whispered since he had finally gotten Luna to sleep.
"There's only us,
There's only this,
Forget regret, or life is yours to miss,
No other road,
No other way,
No day but today." Mark sang softly to Segen, smiling as she yawned, her eyes closing.
After so long, he and his friends were finally safe with families to call their own, and for him that would always be enough.
