Epilogue

"Once your father got his car back and fixed," I began, "everything went back to normal. And that's when we turned our attention into the kid business. About two months later, in June, I found out that I was pregnant with you."

"How did Dad react when I was born?" Chloe asked.

"He passed out," I said looking over at Riley in the recliner.

"Hey, I did not pass out!" Riley said sitting up. "I fell down on the floor with excitement…then knocked myself out on the ground."

"Yeah, that sounds just as stupid," Chloe said with a grin.

"Yeah, he wouldn't even come into the room with me until you were wrapped up and cleaned up too," I teased winking at Riley.

"Seriously?" Chloe asked.

"Hey!" Riley commented. "Babies are gross when their first born!"

"Yeah," Chloe teased, "but most people aren't disgusted when their first child is born." She winked at Riley.

"When did you get your mother's cruel sense of humor?" Riley asked smiling. We all laughed, and we chatted and relaxed in the living room for the rest of the night.
