"A wise man once told me, 'family don't end in blood.' But it doesn't start there either. Family cares about you, not what you can do for them. Family is there, for the good, bad, all of it. They got your back, even when it hurts. That's family." — Supernatural

20 Years Later…

BPOV

"Happy 20th anniversary, darlin'." Jasper kissed me on the cheek and held my hand as we sat on the porch swing. Watching the sunrise.

I put my head on this shoulder, "A lot has happened in 20 years."

It was true, a lot has happened.

Shortly after our wedding, Char gave birth to another boy, Harrison Jay Whitlock on the 24th of May. Alice gave birth on the 18th of June to twins. Cynthia Grace and Christopher Ryan Swan.

I gave birth to my baby boys on the 24th of July. They are identical twins. Alexander Thomas and Benjamin Arthur Whitlock.

Tabitha was so happy with her brothers. Jasper and I were absolutely in love.

In the following years, there were lots of additions to the family. Jasper and I welcomed another little girl, Matilda Jane. We call her Tilly for short.

Garrett and Kate have Sasha Andrea and Casey Rose. Casey is the youngest of all the kids.

Alistair and Riley adopted a little girl, Brianna (Bree) Oliva. Ri and Al got married shortly before adopting her and Riley became Riley Bradley. Bradley being Alistair's real last name. They moved to England.

Felix and Tanya have a boy, Vasilii Vincent. We don't see much of them because they still live in Slovakia. Vasilii speaks mostly Slovak and only speaks a bit of English.

Tabby is a mechanical engineer. We told Tabitha about Maria when she was 13. She reacted pretty well. We answered all the questions she asked. It warmed my heart when she gave me a hug and told her that I was her mom, not Maria and she loves me.

Alex and Ben are pilots and Tilly is studying architecture in hopes of one day becoming an architect.

Sophia is also studying architecture.

Jackson is working on Darlene and Chester's ranch and Harry is a chef.

Chris is following in Edward and Carlisle's footsteps and is a doctor. Cynthia is a fashion designer just like Alice.

Sasha is in her last year of high school and Casey is a junior.

Bree is travelling the world with her best friend, Jodelle.

Vasilii is going to be a lawyer.

Kate and Garrett got married.

Irina and Santiago are still in France, they occasionally visit. They are in a long term relationship.

Randall settled down with a woman called Mary in California.

Toshiro is happy being single, he lives near Randall.

Demetri and Heidi got married shortly after us but it didn't last. Heidi cheated on him. Demetri was devastated. He travelled around Egypt on his own before going back to his hometown in Greece. Heidi stayed in Germany.

Afton and Chelsea are still together.

Diego sadly died around 14 years ago. His cause of death was brain cancer.

Once all the kids moved out of the house, Jasper and I travelled around the US. We only recently got back. Currently, we are at our house in Washington.

"The kids are coming around to celebrate our anniversary," I told Jasper.

"At the meeting-house?" That's what we call the estate because it is used for most meetings.

"Yep. Everyone is going to be there."

We had a big family but we make it work. We can't all be here for all occasions because of work and school but we all meet up at least once a year.

Jasper and I went inside and had breakfast.

After that, we went to the meeting house. Santiago, Irina, Spencer, Darlene, Chester, Tanya, Vasilli and Felix were staying at the house.

Randall, Toshiro, Afton, Chelsea, Bree and Demetri can't be here.

We drove to the estate. We got to the house at the same time as Alex and Ben. You can tell the difference because Alex has a scar above his right eyebrow from when he fell off his bike as a child.

"Hey, momma." Alex gave me a hug.

"How are you, Alex?"

"I'm fine, momma."

Jasper was talking to Ben.

"How are you, Benny?" I gave Ben a hug.

"I'm great. Works going well. We usually fly together."

We talked outside for a few minutes. Tilly and Sophia came together. They go to the same college.

We all went inside and waited until everyone got there.

It was 1 pm when everyone finally arrived.

We talked and reminisced about when we all first met.

At about 6 pm we all went to a restaurant.

We actually own the restaurant. Jane and Alec are servers and we make sure to pay them well.

We had to sit on multiple tables but that was ok.

I was on a table with Jasper and the kids.

The kids were telling us about their jobs and school.

We were having our dessert, "Do you remember what you said at our wedding, Tabby?"

"Yes, mom. I said 'I love being the flower girl and I love mommy and daddy and my brothers'."

We laughed and continued talking.

We left as a big group and Garrett came over to talk to us.

"Hey, Baby T, MJ, Xand, 'min."

Tabitha jokingly rolled her eyes, "Gar! I've told you to not call me that."

"Sorry, Baby T. Already told you, when I give a nickname it sticks. JayJay knows what I'm talking about."

It was Jasper's turn to roll his eyes.

We went back to the meeting house and mom, dad, Carlisle, Esme, Chester, Darlene and Spencer left. They went to stay at mom and dad's so the rest of us had the house to ourselves.

We got back and after we all settled Alistair got us some whiskey. He gave some to Tilly before I reminded him that the drinking age is 21 here. The drinking age is 18 in England.

The rest of the night was spent talking and drinking. The younger kids left and went to stay in the spare rooms.

I looked around and felt so lucky that I have such an amazing family.

Jasper, my amazing husband that has been my rock. He has always been with me, through the good and bad times.

My kids. I love them all unconditionally. They bring me so much joy.

My brothers, sisters and best friends. My family.

I realised that family doesn't mean people related by blood. It means people you trust completely and would do anything for.

All these people have been there when I need them and I have been there for them. Through the good and bad.

We started as rival gangs but now, 20 years later, we are a family.

AN: The end!

I honestly didn't think I would get to this point. I have been writing this story all through quarantine and it has really given me something to do.

I hope you like this ending, I know it's short but I think it needed to be like that.

Thanks to calorraine for the name JayJay for Jasper. Also a big thank you to everyone who reviewed, followed and favourited.

On another note, I'm working on two new Twilight fanfics. I'm halfway way through one of them so keep your eyes open for that. They are both Jasper/Bella pairings.

I'm also working on 2 GoT stories and one BTVS. So if you are interested in that also keep your eyes open.

Thank you for bearing with me through my crazy posting schedule. Make sure you leave a review if you liked this story.

Stay safe and wear a mask,

TTE (Bethany) :)
