Epilogue
2 years later
Lia and Duff walked up to the front door of the Flannery's suburban home. Duff carried the present they had bought for little Rosemarie, Rosie to her family. They were celebrating her second birthday and the couple who had become almost a second set of parents to the little girl had overspent buying the beautiful red head with deep chocolate brown eyes her first motorized car. It was a bright pink Barbie Mustang complete with working horn and lights. They knew Matt and Emily would probably not like the idea but they figured they would deal with that later after Rosie was already in it.
Lia rang the doorbell a little nervous. Her stomach had gotten excessively bigger over night it seemed and she was feeling all the six months pregnant she was. She smiled when an equally as big Emily opened the door. Duff laughed as the pair of pregnant ladies attempted a hug. They decided on a side hug as they walked down the foyer to the living room where everyone else was waiting.
"Wide load coming through!" Frank shouted earning him a slap on the back of the head from Cheryl.
"Frank, one of these days, some woman is going to make an honest man out of you too, and then we'll all be the ones sitting back laughing at you going through all of this when we're done." Emily replied sitting on the couch next to Matt who was holding Rosie.
"Flannery, is that what she did? Made and honest man out of you? Hmmmm, I think she needs to try a little harder unless that's why you can't keep a secret." He responded rising to the occassion.
"Shut up Frank and don't spoil my little girl's day. Em, why don't we eat and then let this little one open her presents before she needs a nap." Matt countered getting a little angry with his friend.
The group that consisted of Lia, Duff, Frank, Cheryl, Matt's brother and Emily's mom headed out back to the grill where Matt fired it up and the others talked while the food was cooked. Lia sat on the grass and played with Rosie and Fluffy, Matt and Emily's cute little white furry dog.
After dinner the group watched as Rosie opened her presents and rubbed her eyes. They quickly served the cake and ice cream before Emily whisked her away for her afternoon nap.
Everyone left but Lia and Duff who chose to hang around and talk to their friends. Lia and Emily both exhausted. Lia sat on a pillow on the floor leaning against Duff's legs. They had now been married for a little over a year, grateful that they had taken their time and solidified their relationship.
Emily lay on the couch, her head in Matt's lap while he stroked her hair. Both women were glowing with the pregnancies and they four were all content with what life had brought them. Who knew what the days ahead would bring but for now, they were a happy and looking forward to their new babies in a few months.
