Epilogue
"Quinn you get back here right now!" I ordered.
"Awww mom , I want to go see cousin Markus," whined the boy Quinn sadly.
"Not until you clean your room. Where is your brother?" I asked getting mad.
"He's already at Uncle Pippin's and Auntie Tori's visiting Markus. It's no fair why does Eoin always get away with everything and I don't," complained Quinn.
I sighed. Ever since I had become a mother to twin boys, things had gotten tiring. They were quite the handful. They were both very nicely built and had surprisingly bright blond hair that was full of curl. They each had a handful of freckles spread across their noses. Quinn had gray eyes, but Eoin had blue eyes. That was the only way I could tell them apart.
I sighed again. They were always trouble, but now it was harder. I had just recently given birth to a beautiful baby girl, who was named Autumn for fun because that used to be my fake name and strangely enough, her hair was the color of Autumn. Red and gold that was very fine and soft as rose petals. Whenever she opened her blue gray eyes I felt my heart melt with happiness. Now that I had her to take care of it was hard to watch the twins. Right now I was holding Autumn in my arms getting lost in her adorable eyes. So busy that I didn't notice, Quinn had run off. I screamed at myself inwardly. Oh well I thought. They would just have to deal with me, when they got back.
"Hey sweetums," a voice said behind me.
I turned around and saw my husband Merry coming towards me. I smiled. Whenever I saw him I was reminded of happy times. Like when I first laid eyes on him, and when we fell in love, and when I decided to stay with him. Mostly the time he asked me to marry him.
Flashback
It had been about a year since I decided to stay and we were in the field picking blueberries. He had thrown one right at me and it hit me on the nose leaving blueberry juice on me.
"Don't go there," I said in my warning voice.
Too late. He had jumped me and started spreading blueberries all over my face. I couldn't help, but laugh. He stopped suddenly and looked down at me.
"Kara...I um..you see..willumarryme?" He asked quickly and nervously.
I gasped. "What...what did you say?"
"I said will you marry me?" He asked again a bit bolder.
"Oh yes!" I screamed while wrapping my arms around him.
End of Flashback
Merry came over and kissed my nose, then leaned down and kissed Autumn's forehead. She giggled and waved her tiny hands.
"Twins being trouble again?" he asked laughing.
"Yes very," I replied.
Together we made our way down the road to Tori's and Pippin's. Sure enough they were sitting outside and Quinn and Eoin were playing with their son Markus. Right when the twins spotted me they took off running.
"Yeah you better run," I yelled after them.
Tihana giggled and waved hello. As she tried to stand up she had a bit of trouble and Pippin had to help her. She was about six months pregnant with her second child. I went over and hugged her. We talked and talked until it was dark. Autumn was getting restless in my arms and I knew she was tired. I rounded up the twins and we all started walking home.
Merry held my hand and helped support Autumn, who was getting heavier by the day. The twins skipped ahead singing and laughing. Soon we were home relaxing in the living room. Autumn had been put to bed and the twins were getting ready for bed. I went over and sat in Merry's lap snuggling against him. I still had my silly moments. He put his arm around me and continued smoking his pipe with his other hand. I giggled silently to myself. This was truly a better life.
