A/N: I'm super sad right now. This is the last chapter. T.T I'm crying my eyes out right now.

Special thanks to all my reviewers and fans. You guys kept me going on. So, THANKS!

I loved writing this and hope you LOVE reading it!

Enjoy the final chapter.


"That's so nice. I heard that she was still trying to lose weight from her second pregnancy."

"Yeah. Kooks just wants to be fit so she can take care of her two children. She has lost a bunch of pounds and Abby's always telling her that she should be happy with herself. Kuki is a beautiful woman and Wally tells her everyday." I hugged the phone close to my ear and stirred the macaroni in the pot on the stove. I nodded at what Abby was telling me.

I looked at the clock on the wall.

"Huhuh. Well, mine are just as a hand full as any of our kids. I heard Fanny was also in the twin boat and then she had another? Good for her." I paused when I heard the front door open to the apartment. I peeped over to see a black haired ten year old with a blue hood on his head from his blue jacket. He smiled quickly up at me and I swatted his hood down.

He glared at me but shrugged and went to the refrigerator.

"Sorry, Abs. Joshua just walked in." I continued.

"You're son?" She asked.

I smiled.

"Yeah. The second born of them all and the second born twin. Would you hold on a sec?" I put my palm over the speaker so Abby couldn't hear. My son was drinking straight out of the Dr. Pepper bottle. I frowned and rolled my eyes. He stopped and looked at me.

I gave him a look and he rolled his eyes and put the bottle back.

He took off his jacket to reveal a blue tee shirt. He laid his jacket across the back of the kitchen chair and took a seat. He crossed his arms and looked up at me with dark brown eyes.

"Where's your brother and sister?" I questioned him.

He shrugged.

I glared at him and got up in his face.

"Did you leave them at Benny's?" I asked him. He looked back at the door and nodded sheepishly. I returned to the phone. "Abby can I call you back? Josh is in big trouble right now and I have to deal with it." I told her. I heard the chair squeak and footsteps running out the room.

"Oh, sure. Hoagie and Abby gotta go take our two kids and drop 'em off at Rachel and Nigel's house for one of their two kid's birthday parties. Fanny and Patton are bringing their three boys and Kuki and Wally are gonna try and make it with their son and daughter. We've really got our hands full here. Well, talk to yah later, girl." She said cheerfully.

I laughed and nodded to myself.

"Okay. Talk to yah later. Bye." I hung up the phone and walked out of the kitchen turning off the stove so the macaroni wouldn't burn.

Joshua was hiding in his closet, clutching the door shut.

My hand grabbed it and yanked hard, bringing the young son of mine out.

His dark orbs darted up at me and I put my hands on my hips. I frowned at him and he sat up on his knees. I raised an eye brow at him and pointed to his bed. He looked down and stood up and walked over to his bed. He sat down and I sat next to him. I patted his back and he looked up with pleading eyes. "Don't give me those eyes. They might work on everybody else but if you haven't noticed, I'm not like everybody else. Now, where is your brother and sister?" I questioned once more to him.

"I left them over at Carol's. Barry's over there, so I guess I'm not in trouble anymore." He smiled and jumped off the bed. He began to walk away joyfully but I grabbed the collar of his shirt. He struggled to get free but my grip was stronger.

I sat him back on the bed.

"Not so fast mister. You're in so much trouble for so much more."

He looked down sadly and I began to tell him his crimes. "First, you left Dawson and Eden without you there with them. I've told you millions of times NOT TO LEAVE THEM ANYWHERE! Second, you walked over here alone. I've told you not to do that several times. Now you can just sit in here for a while. I'll call over at Benny's and ask him to send your brother and sister back over." I shut the door behind me as I left.

I returned to cook the mac 'n' cheese and I dialed Benny's phone number.

The phone rang until a rough voice picked up.

"Hello?" It asked.

I smiled.

"Hey, Benny?" I said to the thirty year old man. I could tell he was smiling on the other end.

"Hey! I have to ask you something. My wife's birthday is coming up and I wanted to get her something pretty. She has a lot of pretty stuff and I wanted to get her something really pretty." I pondered on it.

"What kind of jewelry does Chasity have?" I asked.

"She likes the silver stuff that is shaped like ladybugs and butterflies." He responded back. I grinned to myself at the brilliant idea that had just popped into my head. I wanted to sing and say I was a genius but I was thirty one years old and a mature woman. Oh well. I'll do it later in private.

My grin widened as I continued.

"Buy her something silver with one of those bugs on it. I'd say get one she has less of. That way she can have something new to her collection."

"Ooh! Great idea! Thanks, Starr. Oh and what'ja call about?"

I reddened at my mistake of forgetting to ask to send back my other two children. "Um, just to ask can you send Dawson and Eden back over. I need them home for dinner. Oh and thanks for letting them play over there with your daughter and Chaz's son."

"No problemo, Starrito."

I rolled my eyes.

"Well, just send them over." I told him.

"Okay." Then the line went dead. I stirred the cheese into the noodles and poured the food in five different bowls. I stuck one in the microwave and sat the rest at the kitchen table. I walked out with one of the bowls and took it to Joshua's bedroom.

I walked in and handed it to him.

He smiled and thanked me.

"I'll let you come out early if you just please listen next time." I said to him. He looked up at me and nodded slowly. "Good. Now come and eat in the kitchen. I don't feel like cleaning a mess of cheese from the carpet today or any day." He nodded and we walked out.

Joshua took a seat and began eating his dinner.

I sat down and waited for Dawson and Eden to come home.

"Mom?" I looked at my son as he spoke. "Um, have you ever heard of something called the KND?" He asked nervously. I looked at him dumbly. I needed to play dumb about the Kids Next Door until I knew where this was going. I gave him a curious look.

"Not sure. Why?"

He took a big spoonful of yellow covered noodles that were shaped like shells. "Um, well, how do I say this? I, well, um, the KND, is, yah see, um-" I put my hand up to cease his babbling. He shut up and looked at me. I wasn't going to lie to my son. I knew about it and I was going to tell him.

"I know what the KND is." I told him.

His eyes expanded.

"What is it then?" He raised an eye brow.

"The Kids Next Door. It's an organization that fights evil teenagers and adults. Each operative gets a special job and numbuh, along with a sector if not assigned else where. You're decommissioned at age thirteen unless you pass the test to stay an operative." My son's mouth was hanging open so far down that I promise you I saw a bug fly in there.

He began to stutter.

I just laughed at him with amusement in my brown eyes.

Just then the door was being opened. A black haired seven year old walked in with a white shirt on that had sleeves that stopped at her joints. A light blue stripe decorated the cuffs on each side of the sleeves and the bottom of the shirt. She also had a brown head band on and matching brown pants. She smiled at me and sat down to eat.

A boy who looked more like me than the others walked in.

He had dark brown hair and dark jeans on and a red zipped up jacket. The jacket had white stripes going down each sleeve and under the jacket was a plain white tee shirt. I beamed at my eldest twin son. He returned the smile and sat down to eat.

Eden, the girl, stared at Joshua. "What's with Josh?" She asked, pointing her finger at her brother. I giggled and rolled my eyes. Joshua blushed and began eating again. Dawson smirked at him and turned to listen to me. Eden took a bite of her macaroni and turned her full attention on me.

"Josh. Tell them what you asked me." I instructed him.

He gulped and nodded shakily.

"Well, I asked if she knew what the, what the, um, Kids Next Door is." He asked lowly. I saw Eden and Dawson stared, none blinking, at their brother. Forks clanged against glass bowls as the two lost grip of their utensils.

Dawson stood up and looked at him.

"How could you tell her about the Kids Next Door?" He asked Joshua. I just sat there, watching the scene between my offspring.

I had my hands folded on the table. All three children looked at me and looked down. I let my gaze fall on Joshua. He glanced up at me. "Why?" Was all I said to him. He gave me a quizzical look. "Why do you want to know if I knew about the KND?" I asked him.

Dawson, Eden and I looked at him.

He shrugged.

"I found a file on an operative that sounded just like you and it said she was still knew about it."

Dawson glanced over at me quickly. I sighed and smiled at the three. "What was the numbuh?" I questioned my second eldest son. He pondered on the question and a light bulb blinked above his head.

"I think it was 310."

I nodded.

"Me."

Dawson, Joshua and Eden looked at me with wide brown eyes. "What do you mean by 'me'?" Dawson questioned me as I put my bowl in the sink. I leaned against the counter and smiled at them. "Mom?" He said with a raised eye brow.

"Name: Starr Donalds. Sector: Never had one. Job: Loner. Numbuh: 310. Decommissioned: Not ever happened." Was what I said to my three children. All their mouths fell open at the concept of their mother still remembering about the KND. "Just let me tell you that I am proud of all three of you for being operatives or in training." I added to Eden. "It means a lot to me that my own flesh and blood are part of the greatest organization in the world. And I want you to work hard to keep it the greatest." I paused and looked at Dawson. "Numbuh eleven three point zero. I am extremely proud of you being one of the best two by four technologist in Sector G1. And," I looked at Joshua. "I'm proud of you Numbuh fourteen eleven for being a great hand to hand combat specialist in Sector G1. And," I looked proudly at my daughter, Eden. "Eden I know you're gonna be the best at what you're going to be."

Dawson then tapped me.

I looked at him.

"Mom. I was informed of what Eden was going to be. Should I tell her?" I smiled and looked at Eden. She nodded and I nodded toward Dawson.

"You're going to be in our sector and be one of the two medical operatives." He smiled proudly at her. She nodded and clapped happily. She was bouncing up and down in her seat. I laughed and tried to calm her down.

She blushed and stopped.

"What Numbuh are you going to be ET?" Joshua asked using her nickname. She screwed her face in thought.

She smiled happily.

"How about Numbuh Cinco de Diciembre? I mean I was born on December fifth, so why not? !" She shouted and smiled brightly. I laughed and patted her head. She grinned up at me with a toothless grin. I laughed harder and hugged her. She hugged back.

Was it a coincidence that she was born on the same day as my brother, Trevor? Maybe, maybe not. But anyway, I was proud of all of my children. Dawson then looked at me and grinned with pride. I could see it coming... "I love you." Was what he said.

Those words took me into a flashback from when Nigel, Hoagie, Kuki, Wally, Abby, Rachel, Fanny, Patton and all of my other friends were at my house enjoying one another. It only took a few seconds to recap on it but in real life the event happened in a matter of minutes.

Allen and I were sitting in some lawn chairs. I had asked him to come and talk with me. I needed to tell him something that wasn't that important but still pretty important to me. He waited for me to speak but I ran through my thoughts, thinking about how to say them clearly. He shrugged and looked at everyone playing in front of us. I nodded to myself when I got the words right in my head. I tapped his shoulder and he looked over at me.

"Allen, we have to tell them."

His eyes popped open and he shook his head quickly. I glared at him and he returned the glare. I put my hands on my hips and looked at him hard. He copied the movements and we just glared at one another.

"Why not?" I asked a bit too angrily.

He shook his head again.

"I'm not ready to tell anyone. 'Sides I have to go home and get ready for my girlfriend's birthday party." He stood up and walked toward his house. I looked after him, a saddened expression on my face. I leaned back in disappointment that Allen wouldn't tell anyone about the incident in the closet two years ago. He and I never really got together, just acted nicer toward each other. He had a girlfriend and I had, well, let's not get into that. Okay, I was still single.

Someone sat next to me and I didn't take notice.

He sat there pretending to look around, a green hat on his blonde hair, his hands in his lap and his green eyes darting around awkwardly.

I turned to him.

He smiled at me.

"Hey Benny. You need something?" I questioned the friend of mine. He shook his head and I resumed to putting my head in the palm of my hand and leaning my elbow on the chair arm. I sighed and looked down at the ground.

"What's the matter?" Benny asked me.

I ignored him. He didn't get angry, just edged on more. I glanced at him quickly but he still didn't seem effected. I just rolled my eyes and blew up a piece of my hair as it fell in my brown orbs. Benny still tried to get an answer out of me. I slapped myself and turned quickly at him. He grinned.

"What do you want to know Benny?" I asked lowly.

He smiled more.

"I just wanna know why you seem so down."

I sighed. I began explaining the incident to him. He nodded and seemed really into the information. He smiled and patted my back. I looked at him and his toothy grin widened more. I gave him a confused expression. "Don't worry. In the end everything will turn out great." He stretched his arm over my shoulders. I shook my head.

"Have you ever heard that song 'In the End'? It says in the end it doesn't even matter. So why look forward to the end?" I said to him.

"That's a song. This is life. If it's fate then it will be good in the end. My own lyrics. Like them?" He said joyfully. I laughed and nodded. Maybe he was right.

I returned back to the present. I grinned at all of them again. They smiled back and finished their dinner. After they put the dishes away we went to watch a classic of mine. TOY STORY! Yes, even at thirty one I was in love with this movie. It brought back so many memories. Eden sat on the love seat. Her head was in Dawson's lap. He was leaning back against the chair. I looked down at my own lap. Joshua was turned toward the television watching the movie. I smiled down at him and turned back to the cartoon movie.

We all fell asleep at the ending of another movie.

I stirred and gently scooted Joshua over against the chair arm. He yawned and cuddled up against the couch. I looked around. Eden and Dawson were still sleeping in the love seat. My head drifted to the kitchen. The light was on. I thought I shut the lights off? I stood up and walked in.

A smile crept up on my face.

A tall man was washing the dishes. He smiled over at me and dried his hands as he put the last bowl away in the cabinet. I walked over to him. He looked at me with big brown eyes. His face looked warm and he sat down in a chair. I took a seat and we looked at one another.

"When did you get home from your mom's?" I asked him.

He looked at his watch.

"About fifteen minutes ago. Everyone was in snooze city there in the living room, so I came to wash the dishes out of boreom." I rolled my eyes at him. I looked down at my wringing hands that sat on the table. He eyed me and tapped the table. I looked back up. "What's the matter?" He questioned me.

I shrugged.

He didn't buy it.

He grunted and I rolled my eyes.

His eye brow raised at me and I gave in.

"Well, Josh was talking to me and brought up the Kids Next Door." I looked down. He ruffled his hair and stared at me. I bit my lip. "Then," I continued. "I didn't really want to lie to him, so I told him what it was. Eden and Dawson then walked in and I told them too and who I was for the organization." He looked at me with round eyes.

He went silent then shook it off.

"YOU WHAT? ! How could you tell them? Why would you tell them that, Starr?" He asked, standing up and walking over to shut the kitchen door.

I shrugged.

"They're my children and I'm not gonna lie to them about this. And it's best for them to know that we know about the Kids Next Door then for them to sneak around and us not knowing what it's for, because they don't know that we know about the KND." I stood up and held his shoulders. He looked at me then looked down. A smile covered his face and I kissed his cheek. He turned red and looked up again.

He opened the door and saw Eden rubbing her dark brown eyes she had adopted from the two of us. She grinned widely and ran over to us. He scooped her up in his arms and kissed her all over. She laughed and Dawson and Joshua sat up. "Hey, ET! I'm glad to see you today. How was your day?" He asked the seven year old girl. She kissed his cheek and he gently set her back on the ground.

"It was fun. We went over to Carol's and played with her and Barry. But Josh left me and Dawson there and walked home by himself!" She glared at her brother. He stuck his tongue out at her and she responded with her tongue. Dawson rolled his eyes.

"Uh, Josh, why did you leave your brother and sister alone at someone's house?"

"What? I don't see the big deal..."

We both rolled our eyes at him and intructed the three to get ready for bed.

They groaned and ran to their rooms. I looked after them and smiled. The man standing next to me wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek. I blushed and smacked his face playfully. He glared at me. I laughed and we sat down on the couch. The lights were cut off since we were watching a movie, so he turned one on and I leaned my head on his shoulder. Eden then walked in, in a red tee shirt and black bed shorts that went a little past her knees. She smiled and crawled up into her father's lap. He smiled at her and took her head band out of her dark hair and laid it on the table next to him. She leaned against the chair arm and he kissed the top of her head. I stood up and went to the boys' room. Dawson was sitting on the bed in a long sleeved green shirt and black bed pants. He watched as his brother pulled out some black basketball shorts and pulled them up. He rolled his eyes as Joshua fell to the ground. I shook my head at him and stood him up.

His face turned scarlet but he pulled up his pants more and straightened out his white tee shirt.

I led the twins into the living room where Eden was chatting none stop with her father.

I sat back down but Dawson squeezed in between me and his father and Joshua sat in my lap. I kissed his head and ruffled Dawson brown locks. He leaned against me and Joshua leaned against the chair arm. I looked over at Eden. She beamed at me and began talking to her father again.

The clock by the television said it was 10:11 P.M.

"Okay. Tomorrow's Sunday, so everyone get to bed. We have church in the morning." I instructed the three children. They moaned and stood back up said goodnight. We followed them to their bedrooms. Dawson and Joshua walked into their room and got into their separate bed. Eden ran and jumped into her bed that was next to her brothers' bedroom.

I went into the boys' room and kissed their heads.

Dawson hugged me. Yep, he's the hugger and most well behaved of the three children of mine. He kissed my cheek and laid back down. I pulled his covers up for him and walked over to Joshua's bed. He already had the covers up on his chest. He was pretending to be asleep so I yanked the blanket off him and shouted, "TIME TO GET UP!" He grabbed back the blanket and pulled it to his chest again. I laughed and he smirked up at me. He sat up and hugged me quickly then fell back onto the bed. I walked back to the door and turned to see both twin boys. "Good night." I said to them. "Love you." They waved at me.

"Night, mom." Joshua said to me.

"Love you too." Dawson responded. I smiled at them and clicked the light off. Laughter erupted from the next room as I exited the boys' room. Eden was laying in her bed, her father telling her a funny story, pulling his ears, making himself look like a monkey. I leaned on the door frame and watched the two laughing and having a good time. Eden and her father did a special hand shake and she leaned back on her pillow. He stood up and ruffled her hair. I made my way over and he walked out. Eden smiled up at me. I looked around the room frantically and Eden looked around, trying to figure out what I was looking for.

She looked left and right and I ran into the closet.

Her eyes darted to me and I banged on the door, faking that it was locked. I grabbed a Kids Next Door weapon that one of the boys had stashed in her closet. Eden opened the door and I rolled out and positioned the weapon at one of her stuffed animals. I glared at it and she confusingly watched the scene. I stuck the mustard gun that had a gumball shooter under it, at the toy. Look at what the KND have now. Two in one. Very nice.

The purple monkey that stared at the gun with glassy, unblinking eyes, just sat there and smiled.

"I know you have what I want! Now give it here!" I yelled at the monkey. It just sat there and fell over. From it falling it knocked a quarter off the shelf and the coin fell to the floor. I picked it up and smiled at the toy. I let the gun drop to my side. "Thank you for cooperating." I returned the weapon back to its hiding place and flipped the coin into the air. Eden was laughing and I laughed along with her.

Eden crawled back in her bed and I kissed her cheek.

"Love you. Good night, ET." I said to her.

"Love you too! Good night, mommy." She closed her eyes and I clicked the light off. Her father was already in his bed clothes when I walked into our bedroom. He was sitting up on the bed with a white tee shirt and blue bed pants. I grabbed my bed clothes and changed in the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and looked at my red tee shirt that said 'GFC', then under the letters it spelled it out like this: 'Georgia Fried Chick'. I slipped on some white bed pants that I had cut off to stop just below the knee.

I walked back into the bedroom and laid on the bed. The lights were off and the television was on. We covered up and faced one another.

He kissed me and I grinned at him.

"I love you." He whispered to me.

I nodded.

"I love you too." I told him. He smiled and closed his eyes. His breathing became even and I knew he was asleep. I turned to face the ceiling. Benny was right. In the end fate had its own way of helping me go on. God granted me the fate to have a beautiful family, long life friends, and a husband to love and care for me. I looked back at my spouse. He laid in slumber, a light grin on his face. I kissed him again. "I love you, Allen Chavez." I whispered to him and fell back to sleep.

"I always will." I added as I drifted away.


A/N: ALL DONE! I can't believe it's finally over. *sniffles* I have worked long and hard on all these chapters and I hope you enjoyed ever single one of them.

Now for a skit.

Eden: Woo! I'm gonna be in the Kids Next Door!

Joshua: No you're not. Why would they let YOU join?

Eden: Because I can kick your butt.

Joshua: Oh yeah. Try it.

Eden: *skips away*

Joshua: That's what I tho-oww! *falls to the ground, gripping his leg*

Eden: I told you I could kick your butt or I guess it was your leg. Anyway, I still beat you! Ha!

Dawson: *chuckles* How do you let our little sister kick you in the leg without seeing her?

Joshua: Shut up.

Dawson: *shrugs* Nice one ET.

Eden: Thanks.
