Alright, so I felt really bad about leaving the story there. I think this may be the final chapter, but it's really an epilogue. I might do an FAQ after this, so if anyone has any questions about anything, PM me or leave it in the reviews, and I'll be sure to answer it.

This epilogue is all thanks to a guest who reviewed. Their comment said "Really really that's where you end it it was a great story dont get me wrong with that but realy u end it with can we get a dog you should at least do one last chapter i thinks it's a prologue or something anyway good story though and if u do do (haha I said or type do do) one more chapter u should make then get a german shepherd"

My God, it's like you read my mind. I was actually gonna have a portion at the end where they got a dog, and it was going to be a German Shepherd.

We're like...the same person or something.

(Ally's P.O.V.)

As I slammed the car door shut, River bolted out and ran head first into my stomach, wrapping his arms around my legs. "Mommy, mommy! Drayton threw up on daddy today while he was making my pancakes!"

I leaned down and pressed my lips against River's brown mop of hair. "Icky!" He cried, and ran back inside.

"Whew," I breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed my bag out of the back seat of my small, red car.

"Long day?"

I looked up and into the beautiful whiskey eyes of my husband. "Tell me about it."

"If you feel that bad, go to bed."

"No, no. You've watched the children all day, it's my turn." I turned around and started to walk towards the trunk. Austin's hands on my shoulders stopped me.

"Come on, relax a minute." His hands started moving in small, circular motions.

"Thanks, but I can relax after all three are asleep." I shook my shoulder to get his hands off, but was quickly back to him by my wrists.

"You don't understand, do you?" He breathed in my ear, lifting up strands of my hair and leaving them to fall down again.

"Oh, I understand completely. I just wanna see how hard you work for it." I smirked and turned around to finally face him.

I was shoved up against the side of my car as his lips met mine. I can't tell you how long I've waited to feel them against mine again.

A cry from inside broke our moment.

"River! What are you doing to your sister?" Austin called over his shoulder.

"Don't ask! See!" I grabbed him by the shoulders and turned him around. He was on his feet and moving to the door with a little shove.

There was one more thing I needed to get.

(Austin's P.O.V.)

The sight I was greeted by was not pretty. Peanut butter was apparently the newest fashion of wall paper, as it was smeared across the kitchen walls. A guilty River stood in front of his sister, who was laying in her playpen in the corner of the room.

"I didn't do it!" River exclaimed. "It was all Drayton!"

"Yes, because your three month old sister was definitely able to climb out of the pen and reach above your height to smear peanut butter up and down the walls."

Yip! Yip! Yip!

What the hell was that?

"Ally?" I called out. "Is that you?"

"Hey, guys, come here! Bring Drayton!" I heard my wife call back from the foyer.

River ran to her immediately. I lifted Drayton, her blonde hair sticking up in certain place, and placed her on shoulders. I took her out to the foyer where we were greeted by Ally and River's shining faces.

And a puppy.

"You remember that time last year, when you asked for a dog?"

"Yeah," I removed Drayton from over my head and handed her to Ally.

"Well, I looked into it..." She trailed off.

"And?"

"I found this little guy!" She gestured to the puppy, who was now playing with River on the floor.

"Girl," I corrected. I could tell from here that it was a girl..

"What should we name her?" Ally looked over and smiled at our son.

"Clover!" River suggested through his fits of giggles.

"Doggy!" Drayton spoke from my side.

"Did she just-"

"I think she did..." Ally and I looked at each other. Normally, children don't start speaking this early.

"Her first words?" Ally asked.

Suddenly, I grinned to biggest grin someone ever did grin.

...

(Ally's P.O.V.)

"Mom!" I heard River call out from the foot of the stairs.

"What?" I called back.

"Tell Dray to get out of my room!"

"River, she's your little sister, hang out with her," I complained. I didn't have time for this. Austin was out on tour, leaving me alone with our three children, Skye, River, and Drayton.

"But, I'm sixteen!"

"And she's twelve, there isn't that much of an age difference!" I griped.

"But mom-!"

"Teach her to play guitar or something!"

He groaned and stomped back up the stairs.

"Mommy! Look what I did!" My four year old daughter ran into the kitchen, pig tails bounced up and down on the sides of her head. She held up a drawing of stick figures.

"That's gorgeous, honey!" I lifted her up and placed her on my hip. "Now tell me, what do you want for dinner?"

"Pa-sketti!" She threw her arms around my neck as I spun her around.

"Alright!"

As the noodles began to boil, a knock on the front door caught my attention.

"Who is it?" I asked as I slowly pried open the heavy door. I was greeted by the sight of a man dressed all in black. His face was covered with a black ski mask, and in his hand he held a black pistol.

What kind of robber knocks on the door? Keep calm.

"Hi, how can I help you?" I questioned politely.

"Give me all the money!"

"What money? I'm sorry I wasn't told a tax collector was coming by today. In fact, I didn't know they even still existed."

The man pulled off the ski mask. I was surprised to realize that I recognized him.

"DJ!" I exclaimed as I wrapped the large man in my arms. "It's been so long! What happened to you, where have you been?"

"Dallas paid for a public education for me, and now I work as a lawyer for a law firm."

"That's wonderful!" I ushered the man inside. "Come on, let me get you a cup of tea."

"Moooom!" I heard from the top of the stairs.

"What's wrong, Drayton?"

"River's being mean to me!" She sobbed.

"I am not!" I heard my son cry from his room at the top of the stairs. His room was actually the hidden room in the back of the linen closet.

"Drayton, this is DJ," I introduced her to the man standing beside me. "We met when I was sixteen."

"Mom? How do you remember that? Wasn't it like a thousand years ago?" Drayton cocked her head to the side. She definitely got her father's cockiness.

"Well, Miss Ally-" DJ began.

"Mrs.," I corrected.

"Mrs. Ally, you have a beautiful daughter, and I can only hope she'll grow up to be as nice as her mom."

"Why, thank you, DJ. Now, how about that cup of tea?" I offered once again.

"No, I have to get going. Dallas and I are going to the movies tonight."

"Are y'all..." I began to ask, then cut myself off. Best not jump to conclusions, right?

"Gay?" He completed my sentence. "No, no, no. I'm sorry, I should've added the other people we're going with. I'm going with my fiance, Trish. Dallas is going with his fiance, Cassidy."

I'm glad Cassidy found someone...

(Austin's P.O.V.)

Man, I hope Ally's gonna be happy to see me. After all, I did go through all the trouble of buying two hundred roses and keeping them all together.

Just as I was about to open the door, somebody else opened it from the inside. I ducked out of sight just as the person stepped out of the house.

"Bye, DJ, it was nice seeing you again," Ally waved to the man walking down the front porch steps.

"Oh, yeah, Ally," He said as he remember something. "Please, call me David."

"Bye, David," Ally said as she shut the door.

DJ? Man, I haven't seen him for a few years, not since we ran into each other at Starbucks.

I regained my stance and opened the door to my house, where my four year old daughter, Skye head-butted into my crotch as she hugged my legs.

Lord, please grow faster. I can't take much more of this.

"Who're the flowers for, daddy?"

"There for your momma, sweetie, now please, be quiet. I want to surprise her." I placed my hand on Skye's head and gently moved her out the way.

Ally was cooking in the kitchen.

"Well, hello, there, gorgeous," I said flirtatiously as I walked up to my wife.

"You're back!" She cried in amazement, then she spotted the roses in my hand. "My God, where are we going to put those?"

"How about we put them around the bed tonight?" I hinted.

"Sure, why not?"

Our lips connected, and it was just like our first back when I was seventeen.

(Ally's P.O.V.)

When we kissed, I felt the sparks that never faded. And I almost wished that we were back in the past when we were teenagers, just so we could live it back over again.

"I love you, Austin."

"I love you, too, Ally."

There, now I think the story is over. Except for the FAQ that I possibly might do.

Maybe.

Any kind of questions are acceptable, from questions about my stories, to questions about my personal life. I don't really mind. I'll still answer them.

I hope this ending made everyone happy, cuz now I'm seriously in full on sob mode.

I love y'all.

Each and every one of you.

Lots of Love,

Cassidy
