Epilogue- 5 years later
"Emily!" Max shouted, as the little girl almost
ran into Isabel, "If you don't watch where you're
going we might have to punish you!"
"Don't worry about it, Max. Nothing happened."
Isabel told him.
"But still, Emily can't just knock over anyone
she pleases." Liz said as she sat down next to Max.
Maria, Michael, and Alex soon joined them.
"Mommy, Mommy!" Kristin whined, "Charlie pushed
me!"
"Kristin, honey, I'm sure he didn't mean it."
Maria told her daughter.
"Charlie!" Alex called. "Apologize to Kristen for
pushing her."
"But Daddy, I-" Charie started.
"No but's, Charlie." Isabel cut in.
"Oh, fine. Sorry Kristin." Charlie said, looking
at his shoes.
"I forgive you!" Kristin said, giggling happily.
She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"Eeeeeewwww! Girl cooties!" Charlie yelled, and
ran away. Soon Emily came over to Kristen and
whispered something in her ear. The next second the
two girls were off chasing Charlie.
"Kids." Michael muttered.
"You know you love them!" Maria teased.
"Well, better start the grill." Alex said.
"I'll help." Michael told him.
"Me too." Max agreed.
"And we good women folk will go make the salads."
Liz said. Isabel and Maria laughed. They headed
inside.
"I'm going to check on the babies. Okay?" Isabel
called.
"We'll be in the kitchens, like good little house
wives!" Maria told her. Isabel headed upstairs to
check that her own one and a half year old daughter,
Meg, and Max and Liz's nine month old baby boy, Sam,
were still asleep. Luckily, Isabel heard nothing when
she approached the door, and when she peeked inside,
the two children were sound asleep, right were their
parents had left them. Isabel headed back downstairs.
"Kids are fine." She said.
"Thank God." Liz said.
"Isabel, can you heat up the rolls?" Maria asked.
"Sure." Isabel replied.
"Maria are you almost done wrapping the
potatoes?" Liz asked.
"Just finished. What about you and the coleslaw?"
Maria asked.
"All ready!" Liz told her, happily.
"Let's head outside then, shall we?" Isabel
asked.
"Okay then." Liz replied. The three women headed
outside. Maria handed Alex the potatoes and the
hotdogs. Liz gave Max the hamburger meat and the
rolls.
Isabel made her way through the kids to set the table,
and Maria and Liz followed her with the coleslaw and
drinks, as well as condiments.
"Foods ready!" Michael shouted about an hour
later. Kristen, Emily, Charlie, Max, Liz, Michael,
Maria, Alex and Isabel sat down to eat. Everyone loved
the food, and the conversations were great. As Liz sat
next to Max and Emily, her thoughts wandered to Sam
upstairs in his crib, and she thought of the day Max
proposed to her. She remebered her vision of all of
them together after everything and their kids playing
with eachother. She felt so blessed at that moment.
She knew nothing could ever separate her and Max and
their family. Liz knew that no matter what, they'd
always have eachother. They'd always be together.
Forever.
