Disclaimer: Unfortunately, none of these characters belong to me, except for Elle and Harrison Stokes.
I didn't like the ending that the story had taken on when I finished it, so I wrote this epilogue. Its about 17 years in the future, so Elle and Harrison are about 21 years old and the triplets are 17. Elle's basically talking about her family, and everything that's happened over the past seventeen years.
...........….............................................................. ...........….
*Elle's POV*
It stills amazes me to this day how my parents raised five children, all under the age of five, and both managed to stay somewhat sane. Sometimes I wonder if our family was what they had hoped we would be.
After high school, I enrolled in medical school. Dr. Stokes. I still find that title incredibly funny. I got engaged a month ago to the man of my dreams - Cooper McKnight.
Harrison had taken a year off after high school, and traveled around Europe. My parents were annoyed and upset, because he rarely checked in with them. He came home for Christmas, along with his new Italian girlfriend, Chiara. She's absolutely gorgeous, and we can't understand what she says half the time. We just nod.
The triplets are still in high school.
Benny is taller than me, and is on both the basketball and football teams. My father couldn't have been more proud that his son had developed his love for athletics.
Livvie is our artist. She's been awarded so many times, that my parents had to store the awards in boxes due to lack of wall space. She's her own person, and doesn't care what people think about her. Sometimes I wish I had been like that in high school.
Ethan is the science-whiz, just as Mom was. He's enrolling in college next year, a year earlier than all of his classmates. We're all very proud of him, especially Mom who feels, I guess, a scientific connection.
My parents have been married 25 years. We threw a huge party for them, invited everyone they've ever known practically. Catherine and Lindsey came, along with Lindsey's husband Tyler and their twin daughters, Ava and Amanda. That's all Catherine and Mom ever talk about - the irony of Lindsey having twins just like my mom did.
Uncle Grissom came. You can tell he's hopelessly in love with Catherine, he does the worst job at hiding it. I don't understand why they just don't admit it. It would make our lives a whole lot easier.
Warrick came, with his son Anders. Unfortunately, Warrick wife, Michelle, died due to pregnancy complications. Anders turned five last month.
And Greg. Greg.. my youth obsession. Its basically my only memory from childhood. That, and the day Mom had the triplets. As I grew up, Greg changed from the fun friend to the cute crush. I was shocked the day he and Carly had married. The week they had returned home from their honeymoon, she had found out she was expecting. All of the adults had joked about it, but at the time, I didn't understand any of the jokes. Now, I certainly do understand them. Yes I do.
Carly gave birth to a girl. She named her after me. Elle Sanders.
Its nice to know that even though we don't see each other as much as we used to, after everyone had babies and grew up, we can still all get together and its like we haven't even been apart that long.
I love my family. All of them.. all seventeen of them.

Oh, I'm so much happier with this ending. Read and review. Hey, you never know. Maybe I'll write another story.
