Some might have asked what happened to Justin Russo and Juliet Van Huesen after the wizard competition. Justin moved out with Juliet and into a small Manhattan apartment. It overlooked a beautiful park and a bay. Justin soon proposed to Juliet in the park and got married six months later on Waverly Place. They then ventured off on a cruise for their honeymoon to the Galapagos Islands for two weeks. Justin soon realised, soon after their return, that they needed to get jobs. Juliet explained saying that she was going to try to get a degree in teaching, and Justin said he wanted to also teach.
They attended a college together near their apartment and Justin worked a day shift at Waverly Sub Station. Juliet worked hard on finishing her teacher's degree and finished in late June of 2015. In July, they sat down and celebrated their year long anniversary. Juliet brought up a question Justin also wanted answered. Were they ever going to start a family? Alex and Mason were married with two year old twins, Mason Jr. and Abigail. Max and his fiance, Kylie, were going to be married and were working on adopting a girl from China. They were going to name her Hope.
Justin and Juliet then welcomed their first child, first daughter, and first blonde into the world in January. Her name meant everything to them. Her name was Emma Grace Theresa Russo. She had long, curly, blonde hair and Justin's hazel eyes. They remarked that she was a loud baby and wanted attention a lot. Her first word was "Papa", and Juliet helped her take her first steps in her own classroom. They loved Emma so much.
They soon again welcomed another blonde baby, but a boy named Jack Alucard Jerome Russo. He had his mother's brown eyes and smile. He was also a loud baby, much to Emma's dismay. She was five and starting kindergarten when he came along. He walked with Emma and then said his first word "pickle" (which sounded more like wickle). He became very playful as a toddler and very adventurous.
As for Justin and Juliet, they soon moved into the Tribeca neighborhood near Emma's school and Justin's work. It was very nice neighborhood with nice neighbors and friends. Justin worked as a science and chemistry teacher at Tribeca Prep. Juliet stayed at home most of the time with Jack and sometimes Emma.
When Emma was six and Jack was 18 months old, they then welcomed in Lucy Elizabeth Cindy Russo. Surprisingly, she was a very quiet and reserved girl. She had blonde hair like Jack and Emma. Juliet loved Lucy the most for her baby years and never wanted to have her grow up, but she had to.
Then six and a half years later, Justin and Juliet welcomed the last Russo into the world. Her name was Jubilee Alexandra Marie Russo and she was Justin's perfect baby. She spent most of her time with him and almost never wanted to be with Juliet. She had hazel eyes and a mix of brown and blonde hair. She loved it when Justin played his guitar, especially the song You are My Sunshine.
"Mom, can I go over to Hailey's after school?" 14 year old Emma asked Juliet one Tuesday morning. Jubilee was in her playpen, Jack was reading a comic book on the couch, and Lucy was playing with her doll, Becca. Juliet shook her head and continued stiring what was in the pot. "Emma Grace, you know my policy for friend's houses after school. Homework has to be done at home, checked at home, and you have to be at home on a school night. And what day is it?"
Emma sat at the island behind Juliet and propped up her elbows on the counter. "Tuesday... But Mom, I'm 14! I'm five years older than Jack, for crying out loud! Even Beth gets to go out on a school night!" Juliet turned around. "Well, what would happen if Beth's parents let her use magic in public?" Emma shook her head and Juliet put her hand on her shoulder. "That's my Emma Grace. This is the best for you. I know it."
Juliet then turned her attention to the other three. "Jack, Lucy, Jubilee, Justin, breakfast!" She placed the food on the island and Emma, Jack, and Lucy started taking parts of the breakfast. Justin came downstairs and kissed his wife's cheek. "Morning beautiful. How's my beautiful, caring wife this morning?" Juliet smiled. "Good, Emma Grace wants to go over to Hailey's house after school."
Justin looked over Juliet to see a Emma with her head on the counter and her plate of food in front of her. He went over and started rubbing his oldest daughter's back. "Emma Grace, I bet your Mom said no about going to Hailey's, am I correct?" Emma nodded and Justin kissed the back of her head. "You can go. Just stop by here before you leave." Emma turned around with a grin and hugged her dad. "Thanks Dad!" She turned around after and Justin went over to Jack to say good morning.
"Morning, buddy. What'd Mom make this morning?" Jack was still chewing on his pancakes and showed Justin his plate. "Let me see, we have bacon, pancakes, eggs, and syrup. Lucy Beth, what do you have?" Lucy showed him her plate which had a pancake and some eggs on it. "Eat up, Lucy Beth." He kissed her forehead and looked at Jubilee. "Jubilee Marie, what are you going to eat this morning?" Jubilee pointed to the bottle on the counter and Lucy passed it to Justin. "Thanks Lucy Beth. Jubilee Marie, here's your bottle."
"So I'm taking Emma Grace, Jack, and Lucy Beth to school this morning, correct?" Justin asked now in a nice shirt and pants. "Yes, and I'm taking Jubilee to your sister's and getting Junior and Abbey for school. Actually I'll take Lucy Beth with me. Jack has to work on a school project and needs Emma's help." Juliet said fixing Justin's collar. She was dressed in a nice brown floral dress and brown ballet flats. She now taught 5th grade at Tribeca Elementary, the school where Lucy and Jack went.
"Lucy Beth, we need to go now. Come on." Juliet yelled up the steps of their house. "Can I help with Jack's project?" Lucy yelled back to her. "Yes Lucy Beth. You need to go now." The three oldest Russo's came down and stood in a straight line. "Love you, Emma Grace, Jack Al, Lucy Beth, and Jubilee Marie." Justin and Juliet said giving each of them a hug and a kiss.
Little did they know, this would be the last time they saw their parents happy and together.
"Jack, what do you need our help with?" Emma asked very irritated. Justin had just dropped them off and the three sprinted to the science lounge. They stood in front of a tall and large object with a white blanket on it. "This," Jack started while taking the sheet off, "is the Russo Time Machine 2.0." It was a large, British, red telephone booth and Lucy and Emma laughed. "Very funny, Jack. I made this six years ago and it NEVER worked. I got last place in the science fair because of it." Emma said sarcastically.
"You lost because you wired it wrong. I rewired it and it works perfectly. See?" He showed Emma and Lucy, Emma's baby blanket and Lucy's old teddy bear. "Mr. Cuddles!" Lucy shouted as the two took their belongings. "What year should we go to?" "How about 1948? I still have to write a report on the 1940s."
"Let me check in the science lounge, beautiful. Jack said he, Emma Grace, and Lucy Beth were in there." Emma looked worried. "Get in there! Dad hates when we have a magical instrument." The three piled into the tight space and winced. But instead of typing 1948, Jack typed a year that would change everything.
