Epilogue Two:
"I love you Marcie."
"Be good sweetheart."
The little girl, Marcie, with bouncy red curls and simple grey eyes looked up at her mother and father. In her arms, her mother held Marcie's one year old brother. The little smiled, "I love you mommy. I love you daddy."
Marcie's father lowered himself down in front of her. He had the same flaming red hair his daughter had. "Marcie you go into kindergarten and show them what being a West means."
Marcie nodded and clutched her little purple backpack tighter, "Okay daddy, I will."
Her mother laughed, "Wally, don't encourage Marcie to act like you. We need her not to get kicked out of school on the first day."
Wally laughed, "Oh calm down Artemis, Marcie knew what I met," He ruffled Marcie's curly red hair and kissed her cheek.
Marcie smiled at Wally and grabbed him around the neck and hugged him, "You and mommy will pick me up later right?" She asked.
Wally hugged Marcie back, "Yes of course sweetheart. Now go on. Kindergarten is amazing, you will love it Marcie."
Marcie pulled away from Wally and ran to Artemis. Artemis bent down to the little girl and Marcie kissed Artemis and her baby brother's cheek, "I love you mommy. I love you Parker."
Baby Parker looked at Marcie and giggled. Artemis hugged her daughter, "I'll see you later Marcie, good luck today."
Marcie nodded, "Bye-bye mommy. Bye-bye daddy."
"Bye sweetheart," Artemis said standing back up.
Wally smiled at his daughter, "Bye honey."
Marcie smiled and turned and walked towards the school, only stopping at the doors to turn and wave at her parents.
"Do you think she'll be okay?" Artemis asked Wally as they watched Marcie join the crowd of kids walking into school.
"Honey," Wally said, "you worry to much. She is Marcie West, our daughter. She is part you and part me. She can do anything."
Artemis smiled, "I guess you are right and besides she has at lest one friend, Zuri."
Wally nodded, "Yep and maybe she'll make more friends."
Artemis smiled and Parker yawned, Artemis laughed, "Poor Parker he isn't used to being up this early in the morning."
Wally looked at his son, who was starting to have a mess of blonde hair, "Parker," He said, "are you sleepy?"
Parker looked at Wally and waved his arms. Artemis laughed and handed Parker over to Wally. Parker rested his head on Wally's shoulder. Wally nudged Artemis, "Only four more years and we will have to repeat this all over again with Parker."
Artemis shook her head, "I can't believe that."
"But it's true and we both know those years are going to fly by, before we know it Marcie is going to be fifteen. And that's ten years away."
Artemis smiled, "I wonder what Parker and Marcie will be like in ten years. Like you know their personalities and are they really close siblings or do they fight with each other a lot."
Wally shrugged, "Who knows?" He looped his free arm through Artemis's arm and started back to the car, "That's ten years away. And maybe by then Marcie and Parker will have another brother or sister."
Artemis glared at Wally, "Uh no. I have a hard enough time trying to feed you. I don't need three other kids with all three having the possibility to be speeders."
Wally shrugged, "But you don't know who is going to end up like me and who isn't Artemis."
Artemis shook her head, "Still no Wally."
Wally shrugged as they reached the car, "Maybe you will change you mind in a couple of years."
Artemis unlocked the car and opened the back door. Wally stepped up and set Parker down in his car seat and buckled him. Artemis glanced back at the school, "Do you think she will be okay?"
Wally shut the back door, "She'll be fine Artemis. She is a great kid."
Artemis opened the drive side, "I know, it's just she can be shy at times."
Wally shook his head and walked around to the passenger side, He opened the door and climbed in, "And Zuri isn't shy so Zuri will make sure everyone knows everything about Marcie."
Artemis started up the car, "Okay, okay. I'll stop worrying."
Wally smiled, "Good, now when we come pick her up, I bet she will have had a great day."
Artemis backed out of the parking space, "I sure hope so."

"Hi!"
Artemis jumped and spun around, "Megan!" Artemis gasped, "You just about game me a heart attack!"
M'gann smiled and hugged Artemis, "Hey Wally."
Wally smiled at M'gann, "Where's Conner?"
"Parking the car, because he says I can't fly all the time to pick up Zuri. He says some one will see me and freak out."
"They will," Conner said as he stepped up beside M'gann.
M'gann smiled at him, "Whatever you say."
Artemis looked down at her wrist, "What time does this school get out."
"Two Artemis," Wally said as he shifted Parker in his arms, "Calm down Marcie is fine it was just kindergarten."
Conner laughed, "She sounds just like M'gann. Expect M'gann cried this morning, which caused Zuri to cry."
"Hey!" M'gann cried, "She is my only child and she is growing up, it makes me sad."
Artemis smiled at M'gann, "I don't know what I am going to do when Parker is the age for school. I'll have no one to take care of around the house."
"You can take care of me!" Wally laughed.
Artemis rolled her eyes and M'gann looked at Parker, "He looks a lot like you Artemis, at lest with that mop of blonde hair."
Artemis shrugged, "I guess that's just how it worked out, you've seen Marcie right? She is totally Wally."
M'gann smiled, "Zuri has Conner's looks."
"But your personality," Conner said.
The bell rang singling the end of the school day, "Oh!" M'gann gasped as the school doors flung open, "here they come."
"MOMMY! DADDY!" Zuri cried as she flung herself into M'gann's waiting arms. Marcie trailed close behind and buried herself against Artemis's shoulder.
"So?" Artemis asked as she kissed Marcie's forehead, "How was the first day."
"Tell us all about it Mar," Wally said.
Marcie looked at both her parents, "It was amazing!" She cried, "I had so much fun and me and Zuri built a sandcastle at recess, didn't we Zuri?"
Zuri looked over at Marcie, "Yep."
Artemis smiled at her daughter, "I'm glad you had fun sweetheart."
"I can't wait for tomorrow."
Artemis stood up and took Marcie's hand, "Well me better get going. See you later Megan."
M'gann smiled, "See you. Bye Marcie."
"Bye Mrs. Kent. Bye-bye Zuri."
"See you tomorrow," Zuri said.
Artemis waved to Conner and M'gann and then turned and took Wally's hand.
And together the West family walked to the car and Wally buckled Marcie and Parker in and climbed in to the car. He kissed Artemis's cheek, "I told you she would have a good day."
Artemis shrugged, "It's a mother's job to worry about her baby."
Wally laughed, "I love you Artemis."
Artemis smiled, "I love you too Wally."
And then they pulled out of the parking lot and headed home as Marcie talked more about her first day of school. It had been a good day.
