Three years later:
Riker paced outside the bathroom door impatiently. Deanna was inside she had been inside for five minutes waiting on her pregnancy test results. Will new she was almost 3 weeks late but she didn't have the symptoms she had with Emilee. He tried not to get his hopes up but his gut was telling him she was pregnant.
Meanwhile inside the bathroom Deanna sat on a nearby stool holding a 21st century pregnancy test in her hands. She knew it was old fasioned but she just wanted to see what it felt like to get two lines. The timer goes off as Deanna looks at the test. TWO LINES! She was pregnant! She came out of the bathroom looking sad.
"Oh I'm sorry Deanna just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't happen."
Deanna handed the test over to Will who peered at it.
"Two lines what does that mean?"
"We're pregnant!
Deanna squeals jumping into Will's arms. Lily, now an eight year old and Emmy, now a three year old ran into their parents room.
"What's the matter mom?"
"Nothing Lily."
"Then why are you screaming mommy?"
Emmy asked in her child like voice.
"We're having a baby!"
"Yeah!"
The family all hug each other.
Epilogue:
Life with its odd endings and beginnings
Its occasionally very painful middles
Its surprised hellos
And at times it astonishing adieus
It's green its blues
Its flowers which come
Like sun bursts on a gloomy day
Forgotten
Life with its rare gifts
Its strange charm
Its strong arm
Protecting you from harm
Its blunt pain
Its bleak rain
Its sorrow and its grief
Is somehow all too brief
The flame
With eyes aglow
And above all, dear friends
Before you go
Before it ends
And there it remains
No further tale to tell
Dare once…twice…
Often if you choose
But dare, yes dare to love
And if you do make sure
That you love well
For love is worth it all
It's worth a call
A dream
A scheme
A sleepless night
A carriage ride or crossing
Half the world
For a glimpse, a touch, a truth
For love is youth
Is fun, is grand
A carnival
An opera ball
For truth to tell
Love is Life
And Life is Love
Most importantly Love is All
TBC...Tomorrow's Child
