EPILOGUE

7 years after they walked out of the Crane mansion.

"It feels good to be on vacation, doesn't it?"

"You're telling me."

"Kids, stay where I can see you. Emma, keep an eye on your brother and sister."

"Yes, mommy."

Both Fox and Teresa watched as the kids ran in and out of the ocean.

"Are you liking this so far?"

"Fox, I don't think they call it Paradise Island just for the heck of it. This is truly a piece of paradise."

They both lying on long chairs, keeping an eye on the children who seemed to be having the time of their lives. Fox held her hand in his.

"The good thing about them running around like this is they're going to be so tired that they won't even put up a struggle when it's bed time."

She laughed.

"I was thinking the exact same thing."

They were really happy. They had been married for almost 7 years and had 3 beautiful children. Emma was the oldest and she was followed by the twins, Cecilia and Adam. Teresa went every month to Harmony to visit her son and he often visited them in London for vacation. Things had worked out perfectly for them. Ethan was in jail and the last they heard of Ivy, she was back living in the house her parents left her after they died. None of her children ever contacted her.

Alistair and Julian were trying to get Fox back into the family, but without any result. He was happy with the life he had made for himself and nothing would ever change that. His career in PR was soaring as was Teresa's career in fashion. His children were healthy and happy and loved and that's all he could ever wish for.

"It was a very bumpy road for us, wasn't it?"

"I think everything happens for a reason, Fox. I think that fate was on our side all along. I don't think I would ever want to change anything."

He poured her a glass of champagne and poured one for himself.

"Here's to fate."

She giggled.

"To fate."

They had a sip, put their glasses down. He got up and helped her up. He started tickling her, then he just pulled her in a passionate kiss.

"I think the kids want us to join them in their little game."

"I think you're right."

They ran to the children who were waiting for Teresa and Fox to start a new game.
