Disclaimer: I hope you are enjoying the story, it's almost over…I will not
cry, I will not cry, I will not cry… I hope you like it. Please Read and
Review. Yet again, I still do not own Romeo and Juliet. More's the pity.
Thank you for reading. Also, if you want a sequel, you better tell me. I'll
write one if enough of you ask. I think I have a pretty good idea for one.
Please email me at quidam05@hotmail.com. I would love to hear from you.
I'll also email you back, and even help you with your own fanfics if you
want.
Thank you all for your wonderful support. I would personally like to thank my English teacher who gave the class the assignment of rewriting Romeo and Juliet the way we wanted. I never would have done this if it wasn't for her. I would also would like to thank her for being so enthused about the play to get me interested in Shakespeare. I would also like to thank my mother, because she did a lot of my chores and put up with it while I wrote this for class. I love her very much and she's my favorite person. Thank you all who reviewed. Even the ones who sent flames. You're review mean a lot to me.
Thank you for reading that. I'm sitting here blubbering like a baby.

Epilogue
Lord and Lady Montague, Lord and Lady Capulet, Romeo, Admiral and Lady Monticello, Mercutio, Benvolio, Lord and Lady Tehran (Helena's parents), Lord and Lady Brazenstar, King Escalus, as well as Friar Laurence sat in the great hall of Escalus's castle. It had been eleven months since the ending of the feud. They were all nervous.
Suddenly the hall doors opened. The girls' nurses came in with smiles on their faces.
Juliet's nurse stepped forward, "Lord Romeo, Juliet is fine. Now, I think it is time that you met your children."
A maid came forward with a two bundles in her arms.
"A son and a daughter." The nurse said as he took the baby from the maid.
"What are their names?" Lady Capulet asked her son-in-law.
"Angelo and Geneva." He said, remembering the alias that Juliet had gone under when she was dressed as a boy and a name that Juliet was completely in love with.
Olivia's nurse stepped forward. "Lord Mercutio, Olivia is doing just fine. Bring the child in." She said loud enough for the maid outside the door to hear."
The maid came in.
"You have a daughter." She said when Mercutio took the baby.
"What are you going to name her?" Admiral Monticello asked.
"Adela." He said, thinking about how Olivia had loved that name.
Helena's nurse stepped forward. "Lord Benvolio, Helena is fine. Bring in the child."
Again, a maid came in.
"You have a son."
Benvolio took the child.
"What are you going to name him?" Lord Tehran asked.
"Demetrius." He said, also remembering Helena's masquerade name.
Hero's nurse finally stepped forward. "Your highness, Queen Hero is doing superbly. Bring in the children."
A maid with two bundles came in.
"You also had a son and daughter."
Lord Brazen star watched as Escalus took the children. "What are you going to name them?"
"Sebastian and....Amandla." He said, thinking of Hero's fake name as well as her grandmother.
TWO WEEKS LATER
All four couples were sitting and talking.
Mercutio was holding Adela. Benvolio was holding Demetrius. Romeo was holding Geneva and Juliet was holding Angelo. Hero was holding Amandla while Escalus was holding Sebastian. Helena and Olivia were watching their husbands with their children.
"Who would have thought?" Helena said suddenly.
"Thought what?" Benvolio asked his wife.
"That two minutes could make all the difference in the world."
"Don't think about it Nell." He said.
"She's right though." Mercutio said, holding his daughter closer.
"Destiny just decided that this story needed a happy ending." Olivia said.
"You're right. Destiny wanted these six to be born. Besides, every romance story needs a happy ending.." Juliet said.
Romeo and Escalus smiled at their
"Who said that it was the ending? It's only the beginning." Hero said. She said as she held her child closer.
