*****Zack's P.O.V. *****

      It was Christmas day another cold, windy, and rainy day in Seattle. Today the twins turn one years old, we named our daughter Teresa Aaliyah Emily Hanover, and our son Zachary Cameron Jacks Hanover. Teresa has brown eyes like Margaret and blonde hair like me, little Zack has blue eyes like me and brown hair like Margaret. It's been a very long year good things have happened like the twins and Jondy getting married to Jason (Willa's brother) and the fact that she's pregnant. Bad things have also happened like Jacks committing suicide but in a way he's at peace now.

      Some more good things have happened Max gave birth to a beautiful baby boy who she and Logan named Andrew Jacks Logan Cale he's only like three months old. Willa and Zander's daughter turned one year old a couple months back and her name is Gina Alexis Rose Hallowell. As I stand here near Jack's grave I realize the things I've lost  my brothers and my sister but I also realize what I've gained a family. My beautiful wife and my two wonderful kids. NO one and I mean no one will ever take them from me not the dead or the living.

      I lay the roses on Jacks's grave, then I get in the Lexus SUV, and head back to the loft to celebrate our kids first birthday and many more to come.

*****The loft*****

      Margaret and Willa were still working on decorations and lunch when Zack came back. They were really busy so they didn't notice Zack creep in; instead of saying anything he just went to the kids' room. To his surprise Zackie was asleep but Teresa was awake, standing in the crib, and when she saw Zack she held out her arms indicating him to come pick her up, so he did. As he held his little angel he went and sat on the rocking chair.

*****4:30 p.m. *****

      It was a couple of hours after the party and Zack was on the couch watching some TV, the kids were in their play pen playing with their new toys, and Margaret was in the kitchen cleaning the last of the dirty dishes. Ten minutes later Margaret came in with a present.

Zack (looking at her): Is that for one of the twins?

Margaret (handing it to him): No it's for you.

      When he opened it there was an eight by ten picture in a gold outlined frame. The picture was of him, Margaret, and the twins. It was the picture Margaret had taken of all of them as a family when they were at a park a couple weeks ago. Zack kissed Margaret on the lips and whispered a 'thank you'. Then both picked up the kids, sat back on the couch and watched TV together as a family.

      Now and forever no one could change that, Zack had a family, *his family*, and no one was gonna take that away from him!
