There's a reason I've been putting these last few chapters off. I don't want this to end so soon but I've decided to actually make another sequel but only if you guys want it. As I've said before, an epilogue will be written as if it is the very end but it will be possible to make a sequel from it based on some years down the line. Only if you guys want it. I've already written out the epilogue but the chapters in between are always a work in progress so I hope you enjoy these last two chapters before the epilogue.
"I'm so embarrassed." Ramona sighed as she and Spencer headed towards baggage claim. "I had my big brother save me from being stupid... like a baby."
Spencer placed a tentative hand on her shoulder. "It's fine. You don't have to be embarrassed at all. You're not a baby, but you are my baby sister."
Ramona gave him a smile and pointed as her suitcase rolled up in front of them. She went to get it but Spencer got there first, easily pulling it up to rest by their legs on the ground.
"Do you want me to pull it?"
Ramona placed her hand on the handle. "I've got this. You didn't have to follow me all the way back to Vegas. Nor did you have to buy me a new ticket..."
"Ramona, that is what big brothers do. I think. I've only got as much as I can from my stepson. He loves being a big brother. Although, I know what it feels like to be the little brother. You've met Derek."
She smiled softly at him as they made their way towards the exit. "How long do you plan to stay? I'm sure Jennifer wants you back as soon as possible."
"Just the one day. To get all the details on track. It's nearly the holidays, the kids will be excited to come to Virginia."
Ramona gave him a wide smile. "They've never been. It's beautiful! I should visit more often, especially with the kids and J-"
She was cut off by a blur of blonde hair coming into contact with her torso.
"Irene! My baby!" She cried out, hugging the young child tightly as she slightly lifted her up. "Johnny, Luke!" She grinned, looking up to see her husband and son running to her.
Spencer stepped away as Ramona greeted her husband with a long but chaste kiss and her children with tight hugs and kisses on their hair.
"I'm sorry I missed my flight! Daddy told me you guys were waiting with your godparents, aunts, uncles and cousins!"
Irene nodded. "They couldn't make it today." But she didn't seem too sad about it, more like happy.
"You've got a surprise for me, haven't you, you little rascals!" Ramona giggled, tickling her children's sides. "Hey, before we go, I want you both to meet mommy's big brother!"
The two kids, one blonde girl and the son, brunette, looked up with curious and hesitant smiles.
"Hi," Spencer waved at them, a blur of colourful hankies making their way out of his suit jacket, making the children laugh. "Sorry, when I meet new people-" The colours came out quicker. "My arm gets a bit excited. Do you mind?" He turned to Luke.
Luke pulled at the purple hanky, making the whole bunch fall onto the floor.
"Ah, that's quite better. Thank you...?"
"Luke!" Luke squealed out.
"Thank you, Luke." Spencer smiled. "And who might you be?" He turned to Irene.
Irene shook his hand and gasped when she saw a money note on it after she took it back. "Momma! I didn't even know he put it in there! Look, it's real money!"
Ramona gave a teasing stern look at her brother before chuckling. "You'll put it in your piggy bank when we get home, okay?"
The young child nodded happily, amazed at her new uncle. "What else can you-"
She was cut off when Spencer magically retrieved another money note from Luke's ear.
"I thought that it would be unfair if only your sister had one." He explained.
Luke grinned, waving the note at his father.
Spencer continued, taking out a deck of cards and asking the children to pick one each and show their parents. After telling them to put it back inside the deck and Ramona to shuffle it, Spencer quickly deduced their cards, making the whole family swoon in awe and amazement.
"If you weren't an FBI agent, you'd be an amazing magician."
Spencer laughed. "Henry and I are planning on opening our own magic store after he leaves university but I hope by then, he'd forget." He winked.
Ramona turned to her children. "Henry's your cousin. Step-cousin but you have half-cousins who are Henry's half-siblings. They're twins called James and Alexandria and they are the cutest little beings I've ever met. You'd love them."
"But I thought we were the cutest little beings!" Luke grumbled in his childish voice.
His mother laughed. "You all are. Now, let's get Uncle Spencer back to our home and feed him."
Once they arrived at the Sivertson's home, Ramona was surprised by all of her friends and family.
Irene did have a surprise.
...
As soon as Spencer returned home and stepped through his front door, he immediately missed Ramona.
She had been a far cry from how he found her before and it showed that being with her husband and children and friends really did make her happy. It even made him wonder why she would even go on business trips away from home for so long. Even if it were only a couple of days.
"Dad!"
Spencer dropped to his knees to give the youngster a tight hug. "I wasn't gone for long!"
Henry smiled. "I still missed you!"
"I missed you too, Little Man. Where's your mother?"
Henry led his stepfather into the playroom where JJ was sat reading a storybook to the twins. She looked up with a bright smile.
"Derek called earlier, wanted to pick you up from the airport." She told him, standing up to properly greet him with a short kiss and a hug.
"I'll call him later to thank him for the offer."
JJ nodded. "How was Vegas? Was Ramona okay?"
Her husband replied by nodding, sitting down with the twins as he laid his duffel bag down beside him.
"She was really happy to see her family. I could see the relief in Johnny's eyes the minute he saw her. I also got to entertain her kids with some magic tricks."
Henry gasped. "Did you show them the hanky one?"
"I showed them the hanky one," Spencer confirmed. "And the money behind the ears one."
The child grinned, accepting the answer he was given before rushing over to his magic set.
"Can we do some magic tricks?"
JJ tutted. "Your dad needs to sleep. He's probably jet lagged. I'll call into work and let them know you're not coming."
"You've got a case?"
"Yeah," she sighed. "North Carolina. I'm flying out in a few hours since the team are already out there with Garcia. I wanted to wait for you."
"Oh, JJ... You didn't."
She gave him a soft smile. "Of course I did. I couldn't leave the state without getting one of my husband's loving kisses, could I? And my mother said she couldn't make it but she will in two hours when I leave."
"Why don't you go now?"
She shook her head. "No. Right now, I'm spending time with my family."
She sat beside her husband, pulling her eldest to sit on her lap as they continued to read the twins their storybook.
