It's been 15 years since we believed Anton was dead, but that he was really hiding out in Seattle. Anton has been living in his beach house for the past 15 years, full time. We have spent much time together. Anton came to our house often, but only as a friend as far as the kids are concerned.

My dad passed away in his sleep 5 years ago. He was around 80 so it wasn't as hard to take as my mother's death. Samantha passed away 2 years ago. She lived on our property with us until the end. She ended up passing away in her sleep as well.

Liam is now 33 years old. After graduating from Yale with honors and a degree in business, he trained with Christian to take over for him. He stuck with it and Christian fully retired 5 years ago. Liam turned into quite a fine young man. He started dating a man named James 8 years ago and they married 5 years ago. They are very happy together.

Lily and Phoebe are now 29. They both went to Harvard for college. Phoebe got a degree in literature like me and she took over Grey Publishing for me. Lily got a degree in fashion design and she has been working with the best fashion designers in California. She finally created her own line of women's clothing called Confidence. It's amazing. They've both been quite successful. They have turned into fine young women as well. Lily married a young man by the name of Pierre that she met while she was working in Paris. They are discussing starting a family of their own soon. Phoebe married a man named Kaleb that she met in college. They married 5 years ago and they have a son by the name of Samuel. Samuel is now 3 years old. He is wonderful. They are discussing having more children soon.

Teddy is now 27. He followed in Liam's footsteps and got a degree in business from Yale. He trained to take over Ros's position as COO of Grey Enterprises Holdings. He has done quite well for himself also. He married Angelique 2 years ago and they are expecting their first child in 5 months.

Elijah and Penny are 20 years old. Penny is training as a sous chef in Paris. She is a pretty remarkable cook. Elijah turned out to be our rebel. He refused to go to college and he started his own construction company. He turned out to be quite the ladies' man, but he doesn't date. He just has one night stands to our understanding. He currently has 2 women pregnant. We're only slightly disappointed. We've had numerous talks with him about being safe and he seems to just take it with a grain of salt. We are hopeful that he will soon calm down and find a woman to spend his life with soon.

We're proud of all 6 of our children. By the end of the year, we will have 4 grandchildren. We are excited about this. We love being grandparents. We followed the tradition that the Greys had and every Sunday, we have a family meal at our home. They always make it, no matter the circumstances. Occasionally the rest of the Greys come as well.

Mia remarried a man by the name of Stefan that she met while out exploring the world after Gideon passed away. They now have 4 kids together total. They are very happy.

Kate and Elliot's family has grown as well. They didn't have anymore babies, but they adopted a couple of children 6 years ago. Everything is going quite well with them.

Taylor and Gail retired 8 years ago and Christian gave them our ranch. We still go out and ride the horses from time to time. The Taylors have become a permanent fixture in my family. They are a part of our family. Before they retired, they trained their replacements and Kimberly is now our cook/housekeeper, and Benjamin Hanson is our new security guy. Johnson took over as head of security and Hanson is his backup.

The last 15 years has been extremely peaceful and we are so thankful for that. We are now suffering from empty nest syndrome, but we're doing well since we get to see all of our kids weekly at the least. Christian and I have traveled around the world since our retirements. We always come back for weekends though. Most of the time, Anton accompanies us on our travels. Our sexual appetites have only wavered slightly. We still very much enjoy each other's bodies.

He is also a permanent fixture in our lives. He still lives in his beach house and we spend quite a bit of time with him. We have made our trio work quite well over the years.

At least once a year, we take the entire family on a vacation. Everyone always enjoys themselves immensely.

Today, we're having a family feast with the entire family at the Grey's manor. We arrive first and greet everyone else as they arrive. Whenever dinner is called, we all move to the expansive dining room and enjoy a meal together. We all talk and share what's going on in our lives with one another.

After the final plates are cleared from our tables, Christian stands from his end of the table. "Thank you all for joining us today. We couldn't be happier to have everyone under the same roof. To our kids, we are exceedingly proud of each and every one of you and we look forward to watching you all flourish in your individual lives. To everyone else, we're so glad that we've all been able to keep in close contact with one another over the years. I would like to propose a toast." Everyone raises their glasses. "To all of us. May we all continue to grow, but never grow apart. To our continued happiness and success. To our happily ever after." He says. He looks at me as he says the last part and I smile at him.

"Cheers!!" Everyone says and we all clink our glasses together before drinking our wine.

I hope to have many many more years together with our entire family.

THIS is our happily ever after.
