Chapter Twenty-Five: Epilogue

By the time Taylor went into labour, Haley was pregnant with her first child and had once again become Haley Scott.

Larissa Maxine James-Scott was born nine hours later.

Seamus Nathan Scott was born nine months later, to Lucas and Haley.

The relationship between the two was a constant source of debate. They were some kind of freakishly linked cousins, as Taylor so eloquently put it.

Ava Madison and Davis Haley were christened soon after, in a ceremony that Brooke behaved very kindly toward even Haley in.

Taylor and Nathan lived their lives together but never had more children, though Haley and Lucas had several. Next came Leah Taylor, who was followed by William Lucas.

It took a while for Haley to accept Nathan and Taylor, and to accept Lucas as Nathan's successor, but it all worked out in the end. Why wouldn't it? She'd spent the first sixteen years of her life with Lucas, how different could the last fifty be?

Really, what more was there to it than shopping for CDs and playing mini-golf?
