6 months later.
It was Christmas time and the entire family were round the McMahon household all laughing merrily as they watched the six children; Jack, Jessica, Daniel, James, Bethany and Emma unwrap their Christmas presents. By this time Emma was 7 months and more interested in the wrapping paper than the actual presents and Bethany, who was 15 months shared Emma's interest in the wrapping paper.
Daniel, James and Bethany were Rachel's children and they got along famously with Shane and Stephanie's children. Through these past six months, everybody had met, Rachel and her husband, Steve and their children had met Linda's family. At first everybody found it strange to adjust, especially Shane, but after a while, when everybody got to know each other it was as if they had always been together.
Vince and Rachel had established a strong relationship and Vince treated her as another daughter. Vince had told Linda that any child of hers was a child of his. Rachel and Steve's children accepted the fact that Vince and Linda were their grandparents and were already calling them "nana and gramp". Vince and Linda were delighted with this, as they both loved kids and were thrilled to have more grandchildren.
Vince and Linda were happier than they had ever been and as if it were some kind of sign; Linda had discovered she was pregnant. To Vince and Linda, this was a lovely but given Linda's age, a shocking surprise. The whole family were surprised when they were told but after the initial shock, were very happy. They took this as a symbol of their new life together; their new life as a complete family.
Linda sat there silently in a corner watching them all with a hand on her 4 month old bump with a smile on her face. She was so content, she didn't notice when Vince sat down next to her. He put an arm around her and placed his other hand next to hers on their third child. Linda looked at him; he also had a huge smile on his face.
"Are you happy?" Vince whispered in her ear.
Linda nodded, tears shining in her eyes. "More so than I've ever been. If someone had told me all those years ago when I gave Rachel up, that we'd find each other again one day and that she'd become part of our family I would have laughed in their face. This is how I want it to be forever; me, you, our baby, Rachel, Shane, Steph, our grandchildren and our sons and daughter in laws, who are as good as our children. I know our past hasn't exactly been great and we'll probably have more tough times to come but I'm happier than I've ever been. I think we've got a great future ahead of us and I can't wait."
Vince stared intently at her; the woman who was carrying his baby, the woman he knew he could never be without. He gently turned her head toward him and lent in to kiss her gently; as they kissed they both felt their baby give a hard, sharp kick. They parted, looked down at Linda's bump and put their hands on her stomach as the baby kicked again, they smiled at each other.
"I think we've got a future world champ on our hands here." Vince laughed as he kissed her again, wondering if life could possibly get any better than this.
THE ENDBR
First off, I'm so sorry that its taken so long to write, over a year! I got writers block a few times and then I didn't have time blah blah blah!!!!
There could be a sequel to come, I'm not sure but this is definitely the end of this story. I know this was a bit crap in places but as I said I got into some difficulty! I'd like to say thanks to Katie for giving me the idea for the ending, I owe you one!
I'd like to send a special thank you to Katie B (vmfan4life), Nikki (Kylie3) and Sara (whose to say I don't know) for all of their reviews. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!
And to everybody else who has reviewed this story - thank you!
Well that's me signing off - for now.
