Here's the epilogue! This sums up everything and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Now the prequel for the Audrey Hudson series will be out very soon. I hope you all will read it! I will have a summary for that at the end of the epilogue.

I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT: AUDREY, ADAM, MADDIE, HAYLEY, SCOTT, LILY, DYLAN, KATHERINE, DAVID, AUSTIN, ANDREA, MICHAEL, AIDEN, AND MIA!

Small whimpers came through the small baby monitor from the side table. Adam sat up from the bed and looked to the right of him to see Audrey still sleeping peacefully. He looked at the alarm clock and it read 7:13. He continued to hear the soft cries from the baby monitor making him stand up from the bed, walking out of the bedroom.

He walked down the hall and opened the door to see a light pink room with a rocking chair in the corner. There was a changing table on the one side of the room and on the other was a crib with the name Maddie on the wall, above the crib.

Adam walked over to the crying baby and scooped her up. "What are you doing up so early? You shouldn't be fussy on your first birthday," said Adam holding his now one-year-old daughter in his arms.

Adam kissed the top of her head and looked at her tear stained cheeks. "Want me to sing you something? I know I can't sing like mommy can but I can try."

Hush, little baby, don't say a word, daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird. And if that mockingbird don't sing, daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring….

As soon as Maddie started to relax, she stuck her arms out seeing Audrey in the doorway. Adam turned around to face Audrey, "You couldn't wait for me to finish?" Adam asked sarcastically.

"Sorry, I saw you out of bed and I thought you might be in here," she said walking towards them.

Maddie continued to wiggle out of Adam's arms reaching out for Audrey. "I think someone wants to see her mommy," said Adam handing Maddie off to Audrey.

Audrey smiled at her, "Hey baby girl. I can't believe you're one year old today!"

"Want me to make some coffee?" Adam asked.

"Yeah that would be great honey thanks," said Audrey as Adam gave her a kiss before leaving the room.

"Are you excited to see all of your family today?" Audrey asked as she slightly bounced her up and down. Audrey stopped bouncing her when she smelled the stench coming from Maddie.

"You couldn't have saved that one for daddy?"

Audrey walked over to the changing table and placed Maddie on it gently. Audrey took off her pink polka doted onesie and then removed the diaper. "Madeline Rachel Montgomery, you always save the worst for me don't you?"

Maddie gave her a smile making Audrey laugh. "Anyways, all of your grandparents are coming, so is your Aunt Lily, Uncle Dylan, Aunt Andrea, and Uncle Austin. Oh and Aunt Hayley and Uncle Scott. Well you just have a lot of people who love you," said Audrey putting back on Maddie's onesie.

"All done," said Audrey picking her back up and smoothing out her brown curls.

There was a knock on the door and Audrey walked quickly to answer it. She opened the door to see Katherine, David, Austin, along with Andrea and her husband Michael with their son Aiden who was four. All of them were holding presents wrapped in pretty baby themed wrapping paper. "It's so good to see you!" said Audrey immediately hugging Katherine.

"Oh you too Audrey," she responded as she broke away and Audrey gave the rest of them hugs as well.

"Alright where is she?" David asked.

Audrey giggled, "She's with Adam along with my Uncles and cousin right now."

"Hi Aunt Audrey!" said Aiden hugging her leg.

Audrey rustled his hair, got down to his level and gave him a hug. "Hey champ, how are you doing?"

He nodded, "Good."

Audrey chuckled, "Great." She got back up and gave another hug to Andrea. In a way, she was like an older sister to Audrey.

"My brother hasn't been giving you a hard time has he?"

"Nah, he's still okay," Audrey responded.

"The decorations look great," Andrea added looking towards the pink and purple birthday décor around the apartment.

"You guys have to come back to Massachusetts again. You're always welcome at our beach house in Provincetown," Michael added walking up next to his wife.

"I know Adam wants to so badly. He misses it up there, I can tell. We were thinking in the summer and then heading back to Lima for a short time to visit my parents," said Audrey.

Just then, Audrey felt her cell phone vibrate from her jean pocket. She smiled when she saw it was a text from Lily. It read, "At the apartment building now. Can't wait to see you! Be aware mom is a little too excited."

Audrey laughed at the text. Soon there was another knock on the door. She walked over again, opened it, and saw Lily. Audrey hadn't seen her family in quite a while but she talked with them over the phone quite often. Lily squealed with excitement when she saw Audrey. She immediately gave her a hug, "Hey Lily Pad, I missed you!"

"I missed you too," said then now thirteen year old, pulling away.

"Hey I did too!" Dylan added.

"Hey buddy, how's life being ten?"

"It's great, my flag football team won the championship last week!"

Audrey gave him a hug, "That's awesome Dyl!"

Austin approached Lily and gave her a quick hug, "Hey," he said.

Lily smiled, "You sound like we haven't seen each other in a long time. I just saw you in school a few days ago."

"I don't know," said Austin shrugging his shoulders, making Lily giggle. Austin and Lily had matured and become close friends since the wedding. Lily considers Austin more of another brother now.

"Again they left the old ones behind," said Finn holding different presents in his hands wrapped in pretty pink paper.

Audrey chuckled giving him a hug, "Hi daddy." After she let the three of them into the apartment, she saw her mom with Sam and Quinn.

"Audrey!" Rachel exclaimed as she gave her a hug.

"I missed you mom," said Audrey holding her tight.

"Me too."

The two of them separated and Audrey closed the door.

"Thank you for coming out you guys," said Audrey towards Sam and Quinn, giving them both hugs.

"Well we wanted to see little Maddie and visit Hayley and Scott," said Sam.

"Yeah I don't know where they are," Audrey added. She looked around the apartment, Finn and David were talking, and Dylan and Lily were hanging out with Aiden. Both families got along quite well except for Rachel and Katherine. Ever since Maddie was born, it was a competition to see who was a better grandmother.

"Hey babe," said Adam walking up behind Audrey and kissing her on the cheek.

Audrey smiled, "Our mom's aren't talking to each other."

"They will, don't worry."

Before Audrey could respond, there was another knock on the door. "I got it," said Adam.

As he opened the door he could hear Hayley and Scott arguing, "I'm sorry Hayley; I didn't know that there was a difference between light pink and baby pink!"

"It's not just the color Scott; you got the wrong gift in general! If I can't let you buy stuff for our friend's kid, how do I expect you to get stuff for our daughters?"

They both stopped seeing Adam at the door, "You guys done?"

"Yeah sorry about that," said Hayley giving him a hug. They both walked in and Audrey ran up to them giving Hayley a hug.

"Hey mommy to be, how are those little girls doing?" Audrey asked looking down at Hayley's huge stomach.

Hayley giggled, "They're great, but I feel huge."

Audrey chuckled, "It will all be worth it in the end. You better be taking good care of her Scott."

"Don't worry Audrey, she's in good hands," said Scott putting his arm around Hayley.

Just then, she saw Quinn walking towards them. "We better go check on Maddie," said Adam as Audrey followed, walking away.

"Hayley baby, look at you!"

Hayley giggled giving her mom a hug. "Taylor and Grace are kicking right now if you want to feel," she said stating the babies' names.

Quinn put her hands on Hayley stomach and instantly felt little kicks. Quinn smiled, "I'm so happy for you sweetheart."

Hayley smiled, "Hey where's dad?"

"He's in the living room with everyone else."

Back in the living room Mia, Kurt and Blaine walked out, "Okay, Maddie looks adorable!"

"Oh I can't wait to see her," said Lily.

Back in Maddie's room Adam held her and looked at her outfit. It was a purple tutu, with a pink shirt that said Birthday Girl that was bedazzled in silver gemstones.

Adam rolled his eyes at the outfit but Maddie smiled and seemed to like the gift. "I think it's adorable," said Audrey.

"We should bring her out to them," said Adam. He put Maddie on the floor and took her hand as Audrey took the other. Maddie had gotten pretty good on her walking but still needed assistance.

A bunch of "awe's" came from the family as the three of them walked out. Audrey eventually picked Maddie up and kissed her on the cheek.

"Let me see her!" Lily exclaimed as she rushed over.

"Hey cutie, remember me?" said Lily poking Maddie's tummy making her smile.

The rest of the party was great. Everyone got the chance to hold Maddie and spend some time with her. The gifts Maddie got were amazing. Rachel went a little over the top trying to show Katherine that she was the better grandmother by getting Maddie a huge pink play-set, which Maddie absolutely loved.

Almost everyone had left for the night except for Finn, Rachel, Lily, and Dylan. Audrey had put the final dish in the dishwasher, and came over to join the rest of her family in the living room. Maddie had already been put to bed a few hours prior.

"I'm exhausted," said Audrey sitting down next to Adam on one of the couches. Adam gave her a kiss and put his arm around her. Rachel and Finn both smiled at them, how Audrey and Adam reminded of themselves when they were younger.

"Lil, did you win your last dance competition?" Audrey asked.

Lily was sitting next to Rachel, leaning against her. "Yep, I even got first in my age group for the solo competition."

"And we are so proud of her," said Finn.

"Yes we are," Rachel added looking at Lily, making her smile. Audrey could see the change in Rachel and Lily's relationship. She was happy that they were getting along again.

"Excited for school to end Dylan?" Adam asked.

"I hate school."

"I thought you loved school buddy," said Finn.

"I like seeing my friends, and recess is fun but I don't like the homework."

Before anyone could respond Maddie's cries echoed throughout the apartment. Audrey stood up, "That's my calling."

"Want me to come with you?' Rachel asked.

Audrey smiled, "Sure."

The two of them walked down the long hallway to Maddie's room. The only light in the room came from the night light in the corner. "What's wrong Maddie?" Audrey asked scooping her up out of the crib.

"Look grandma's here," said Audrey. Maddie's head turned and started to smile seeing Rachel's face. Maddie reached out for Rachel and grabbed her nose, making both Rachel and Audrey laugh.

"See I'm her favorite grandmother," said Rachel taking Maddie out of Audrey's arms.

"Mom…."

"Well it's true."

"She loves everyone equally."

"Whatever you say."

Audrey rolled her eyes and went around the room, briefly folding some baby clothes and putting g them in one of the drawers. "She looks just like you did when you were a baby," said Rachel.

Audrey turned around and walked back towards them. "You're a great mom Audrey."

"You are too," said Audrey putting her hand on Rachel's shoulder.

Rachel noticed Maddie had fallen asleep; she kissed the top of her head, and put her back in the crib. Once Maddie was out of her arms, Rachel pulled Audrey into her embrace.

"I'm so proud of you sweetheart," Rachel said softly. Audrey could hear the sadness in her voice. It was the kind of sadness that meant Audrey had grown up and started her own family. How Rachel did not see the little girl who wore pigtails and danced around their old New York apartment, in different dress-up costumes. The little girl who wanted her when she had a nightmare. The little girl who asked her to sing songs to her each night before she went to bed. She now saw an Audrey that was a successful, strong, and confident woman. A wife who loved her husband with all her heart, and a mother who loved her own daughter so dearly. Even though time had passed and memories were engraved in her memory. To Rachel, Audrey will always be that same little girl.
