CARLY POV
A few years had passed since Sam had given birth to Paul, Paul, Lisa and Eric were now three years old. They were getting pretty good at talking now and were only slightly shaky on their feet when walking. Freddie and I were now married as was Sam and Spencer, Gibby was still helping us babysit the kids, as was Shelby. Shelby unfortunately was now retired from fighting, in her last fight she had sustained an injury and it was recommend that she retire, or risk the injury getting worse, she had chosen retirement. It also turned out that Shelby and Gibby were now dating, speaking of Gibby, at that moment Lisa came running past without a shirt on, I rolled my eyes and spoke to Freddie.
"Wonderful, she takes after her uncle Gibby".
Freddie just laughed and hurried after her, he picked her up and took her upstairs. I shook my head and leaned back on the couch, Sam and Spencer were at an unveiling of his latest artwork, Spencer's art had taken a huge boost in popularity and asking price, Freddie was working for a Tech company and I was now a Fashion Designer, which meant I could work from home. Sam was the only on of us who didn't have a job so she was a stay at home Mom. My parents had to return to work but promised to stay in touch and come back and see us whenever they could, Mrs. Benson was also helping us, sadly Mrs. Puckett still couldn't accept what had happened, also Melanie had to return as it was the final exams at her school before graduation.
Freddie came back down the stairs with Lisa, now with a shirt on, and walked over to the couch, he sat down and smiled at me. I smiled too and gently took Lisa and sat her on my lap, facing me, I then spoke.
"Now Lisa, listen, what you were doing just there, running around without a shirt, don't do it okay".
She looked up at me, confused.
"But, Uncle Gibby..."
"...Doesn't do that anymore, so you shouldn't either okay".
She smiled and nodded.
"Kay Mommy".
I then let her sit down on the couch, Freddie changed the channel on the TV over to the cartoon channel, just in time to catch the start of one of Lisa's favourites. Eric and Paul also came over and joined us. We were watching TV for about ten minutes when Sam and Spencer returned, Paul was immediately off the couch and ran to them, Sam smiled and picked him up, they both looked happy, everything had obviously gone perfect for them. After Sam set Paul back down on the couch Freddie and I stood up and moved over to the kitchen, letting the kids watch the TV undisturbed. We began talking about how Spencer's attempt to sell his latest artwork had gone, I was sitting so I could still keep an eye on the kids while we were talking, it turned out I was right, it had gone really well, Spencer's latest artwork had fetched an unbelievably high price. Still smiling I continued to watch as the kids watched the TV, Sam had spoken to me about her one real concern but it turned out she didn't have to worry, Paul got along well with his cousins and they got along well with him, although I was concerned about one thing, it looked like Sam was teaching her son to follow in her footsteps by teaching him various pranks, still they were harmless enough so I guess there wasn't really anything to worry about. I reached out and took Freddie's hand, he squeezed it in response, the kids were the best thing that every happened to all of us and now they were growing up, hard to believe they were toddler's already, I knew we had a lot to look forward too with our kids growing up, I could hardly wait.
End of chapter, next up Paul performs a prank that, while initially successful, backfires on him, however a later prank he does with his mother proves useful for the family. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, read and review please.
