Today My Life Begins
Epilogue
I can't believe it's been ten years since Harper was born.
She's turned out healthy and very athletic, while Lulu is our girly girl. at 15, she is into make up, dressing in designer clothes, shoes, having her hair and nails done, you name it. And she kept her end of the deal as well, good grades and she'd made Varsity cheer this year as co captain at only a sophomore, we were very proud of her.
Harper was our soccer star. She played on a travel league that was usually meant for teens, but
her skills were so good they picked her up this year. Jasper was so proud.
We never tried for another child after Harper.
I was to afraid.
But we did adopt Reese. He was an adorable 7 year old when we adopted him about a year after Harper was born. He was 17 this year and a senior in high school.
When we first adopted him he had a few behavioral problems and we had to see a therapist's help because he'd had so many bad foster homes, but once he gained our trust, everything went smooth and we were mom and dad, no questions asked. He loved Lulu and Harper and helped out around the house, he excelled in school and baseball, which made Jasper proud. He had more girls in the house than we could count and Jasper had a coronary every time one of his friends looked at Lulu. It was quite hilarious. I reminded him HE was like that once and he said that's what scared him.
"You know that Lulu was asked to homecoming, right?" I asked Jasper as we were getting ready for bed late one night.
"She's not going." he said with a final tone in his voice and I laughed.
"Oh? And you're going to break her heart after I just spent $200 on a dress?" I asked.
"You what? Before you asked me?" he scoffed.
"Since when do I NEED to ask you to spend money?" I questioned.
"Because she wants to go to a dance with a boy that's way to old for her and do who knows what!" he nearly shouted.
"Look. Jory is a nice boy, comes from a good family and is one of Reece's good friends." I shrugged. "They're going in a group, she won't be alone. The parents are chipping in to rent a limo." I said matter of factly.
"And that makes it all the better? Do you know how big the back of a limo is?" he shook his head.
"What are they going to do Jasper? Have a huge orgy?" I walked over to him and wrapped him in my arms.
"I guess you're right. But I don't like it." he leaned down to snuggle into my chest.
"Well, if you like those, you'll be nice and not say no." I pushed his face out and gave him the look.
Homecoming came and went, Jory and Lulu were a couple now and Jasper bit his tongue every time he saw them kissing.
I always had to remind him we were teens once and that we still DID kiss and HAVE sex. He didn't like that last part and didn't want to know.
But then said Jory was a dead man if they had.
Reece was dating a nice girl he'd taken to homecoming too, finally. Her name was Chloe. She lived with her mom and was alone a lot because her mom worked two jobs. She loved coming over and helping with dinner, Reece loved that she could cook and they made dinner quite a few times for us. My mom senses were tingling with these two, or at least I hoped they were. We had to take Reece to visit a few colleges over Spring Break and Lulu and Harper didn't want to come. Harper was going to stay with Emmett and Rose since she was close to Haley and
Haley being like Rose, didn't mind getting dirty.
Lulu on the other hand was staying with my dad, said he'd love to have her for the week. We were also going to take Chloe with us, her mom was very thankful since she couldn't get her two jobs to coordinate vacation weeks together.
Reece had chosen Stanton, Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. He wanted to major in business so he could take over my businesses one day and a head for business he had. He helped Rose out quite a lot at our local shop and traveled with me to the others when I needed too.
Our week long excursion was a blast.
We had great hotel rooms, dinners and tours of all the campus'.
Chloe and Reece attended a few student events they were having to entice students to enroll with their college and Jasper and I would have date night, it was a win win.
At the end of the trip Reece had decided he was going to apply to all three and see which he got accepted into. With his GPA and long list of activities, any of them would be crazy not to take him. Chloe really liked University of Pennsylvania and they had one of the top dental programs, she wanted to be a dentist.
Arriving home, they sat down and started on admissions forms while Jasper went to collect the girls and agreed it'd be a pizza night.
Prom was fast approaching and with Lulu still dating Jory, she was going.
Now to break the news to Jasper.
"Hey Jasper. You remember homecoming, right?" I asked.
He eyed me carefully, knowing this had to do with Lulu.
"Yeah. What about it? Did Jory break my babies heart?" he asked with a twisted grin.
"Ugh! NO! Do you hear her crying? Has Reece come home with bloody hands?" I laughed.
"No, I guess not." he sighed. "Then what?" he asked.
"Well, it's prom time." I smiled.
"Oh hell no! I KNOW what happens at prom ALL too well. In case you've forgotten." he wrapped me in a hug.
"Uh, no. No, I haven't, but I have forgiven or else we wouldn't be here today my husband." I kissed him softly, watching him melt.
"Oh, OK. She can go. But if he hurts her." he threatened.
"How many times are you going to threaten that poor boy? He's a nice kid. And these kids don't have the problems we/I had. Thank goodness." I snuggled into him.
"Very true. I love you." he kissed me passionately.
"As I love you." I couldn't have been happier at this point and time.
I had the perfect life, the perfect kids and most of all the perfect husband, no matter how many
bad things we'd been through we ended up together and were better for it.
The End.
