Ten Years Later…

Rose sighed happily to herself and sipped her cup of coffee, remembering the times she was only fifteen. Now she was twenty five, married to Luke, and expecting her first child soon. Things had changed since those ten years. Julian had been gone since those years, not to be found. Mayor Hamilton died, and his son Gill took his place with his wife, Karen. Along with that married couple, May and Chase got married as well, along with Ellie and Toby marrying, Talia and Brock which were the cutest little couple got married, Taylor and Matt got married, James the doctor got married to Sophie the nurse, and Jessica and Samuel marrying. Everything was well for Sunnydew Island.

Changes were made by Gill. The new mayor had put up tons of advertisements, reeling in plenty of tourists, visitors, and new residents. The town had soon turned into a city. Bigger and technological buildings were set up, like a mall and school for instance. Of course, the farming plantations still stayed, in memory of the old times. Rose and Luke still had their farm, and it now thrived, with a total of 56 farm animals. Their farm became the produce plantation, and Rose had milked in tons of money, allowing her to expand her home which she longed to do. Their little island soon popped onto the world map, turning September 21st into a holiday, the day their island became noticed. The town now had a population of 3,751.

Rose felt happy that she moved to this little town, and she had persuaded her younger sister, Prim, to join her here. Her mother soon followed her sister, along with her father. Then her older brother came to set up a business in the newly populated town. Life was absolutely great for Rose.

More kids had populated the island, and little, or older, Fay had found herself a really cute guy that had proposed to her at age sixteen. Bo too had found himself a soul mate, Kennedy, a young, pretty girl with curly brown hair and big, chocolate brown eyes. Unfortunately, not everyone found a lover, and both Michael and Jim never found love. Michael had become old, and now Toby ran the shop, with Karen (who had dropped her drinking habit) taking over the bar from Jim. Everyone else in the island set up their own shops.

Dolores had become the story teller for the littlies (children), telling tales about Julian, Rose (the so called hero though she didn't believe it), and Luke. Dolores also told of times when she was young, from when the town had only held 13 people. The littlies looked up to Dolores, calling her 'grams'. Everyone, really, loved her stories to death and she was the constant person everyone was crowding around, listening to her lovely stories.

Other people, grownups, looked up to Rose and Luke, the 'heroes' of the town. Rose thought it was utterly pointless to call them heroes; all they did was warn the town of Julian. But still, the island's residents insisted they called them that.

Brock had set up a group of miners that went down and harvested gold. The town had became rich, and had plentiful amounts of gold.

Chase had set up his own bakery, baking everything from cupcakes to pizzas. Anything with dough, really. May encouraged him, often tasting his foods. They lived together in a small apartment above the bakery.

Life was good in Sunnydew Island. More people came to the island, making the town ten times for friendlier. Everyone in town knew each other; it didn't matter there was 3,751 people who lived there now!

Luke walked in from tending to the Orchard, where all of his memories from his childhood lay. He had loved the Orchard forever, and Rose couldn't wait until her child could see the Orchard as well. "Good morning, hon." Luke smiled, his smile wrinkles creasing. He walked over to Rose and kissed her passionately. When he let go to breathe, Rose smiled and batted her eyelashes. "Morning." She said groggily. Luke crouched down and patted Rose's stomach. "And how's are little baby doing?" He cooed excitedly. From the very start, Luke had been extremely excited for the child. He would make a perfect father. Rose looked down at the lump on her tummy. "Good, but the baby's sure is kicking! He should be dew in about a month, or that's what Nurse Sophie said." Rose grabbed Luke's hand. He stood up and wrapped her in his arms. "You scared?" He asked, though from knowing Rose he knew the answer already. Rose nodded weakly, feeling the tears coming. She felt so stupid to cry, wasn't birth supposed to be beautiful, happy? Luke patted her back, allowing her to cry on his shoulder. The tears flowed freely down Rose's cheeks, though she didn't know why she had to cry. Stupid mood swings! "Don't worry, I'll protect you." Luke pulled back finally and promised her. And he was right, Rose just knew it. He had always protected her, no matter what the case. "I know." She smiled weakly. Peace flowed through her. Once she said that, she knew it was true. And all would be well in Sunnydew Island again.
