Epilogue: one year later
On the next Arrival Day, the whole group gathered around near Edendale for a picnic before the official celebrations where Roman had duties to fill. He was carefully holding his son in his arms. The boy was only a few months old and according to his parents, he was to most perfect baby in the world, which caused everybody else – and especially the two other parents – to roll their eyes.
But on that day, Drake and Taylor were too busy glowing with happiness to notice. The two had eloped to Las Vegas and got married without anyone knowing. Teri had almost slapped Taylor when she found out but Taylor had just said it was payback for letting her in the dark when she and Grayson were secretly together.
Teri had bit her lips; yeah she guessed that was fair. Even though she had to reveal every single detail of her and Grayson's story not only to Taylor but also to Emery, Julia and Sophia. But she didn't really minded though; for once this story had a happy ending and she wasn't complaining. Well that was until she saw Julia feeding Eric a chip and then kissing him. Gosh those two were ridiculously in love and cute. What? Being in a relationship did not make her a more romantic person; that was not happening despite Grayson's wishes.
The former Red Hawk was currently discussing with Sophia and Lukas. The two were often teased about the fact that they were the only one of the group that they were still single. But both were perfectly fine with their life the way it was.
Soon enough, everyone started to play with the Frisbee Drake had brought.
Emery stayed to look after her baby and looked at everyone, at the untypical family she had chosen. She could see them smile and laugh and live and then she looked back at the little boy who happily squeaked. She silently thanked her lucky star for this and she wished that nothing change, ever.
Hey guys, so I guess this is it. It was a great experience to publish my first story here and I really want to thank you again for reading and reviewing! I hope I'll see you around!
xoxo, L.
