Yeah, I am quite a fan of happy endings ;)
Again, reviews make me happy :)
Epilogue: What They Saw Was BlissThe warm California summer sun was setting in the sky. A mild sea breeze blew over the beach, filling the air with its typical salty smell, and the laughter of children filled the air.
Seth and Summer stood bare-footed in the warm sand and watched the sunset, Seth hugging Summer from behind, her head resting on his chest.
A little hand tucked at Summer's skirt. "Mommy, can we collect some shells?" the tiny voice asked, looking at Seth and Summer with big brown innocent eyes.
Summer and Seth went on their knees and Summer hugged the little child. "Of course you can." She said and stroked the child's hair.
"But be sure not to go into the water too far." Seth added and gave the child a loving clap on the bottom.
The little boy laughed happily and ran off to the shore to search for some shells.
Seth and Summer sat down on the sand and cuddled into each other's arms again.
"I could watch them all day," Summer said happily.
Seth laughed. "You pretty much are." He said and kissed Summer's head.
Summer turned around to face Seth and frowned. "Sure, like raising three children isn't enough work, you little-"
She was interrupted by Seth's lips who made her lose herself completely in a long, loving kiss.
"Happy tenth anniversary," he whispered softly and stroked her cheek with his fingers.
Summer smiled happily. "Happy tenth anniversary." She repeated and leant over to kiss her husband again.
After the kiss, Summer leant back into Seth's arms and reflected about her life.
Eight years from now, her new life had begun, with the birth of her and Seth's little son Julian, and the death of Eric, the man who had almost destroyed Summer's life.
Twice.
Although she had been sure never to have a baby again, two years after Julian's birth Summer fell pregnant again, this time giving birth without any complications to a lovely little daughter they called Jennie and who was the exact counterpart of her.
And even though Seth and Summer had thought of their family as complete then, little Mark had happened two years after Jennie came into the world.
Summer smiled as she watched how little Mark tried to keep up with his older siblings who were chasing each other around the beach and laughed.
Ryan and Marissa's two daughters Lila and Alyssa had joined the Cohen children to play with them. From time to time, Seth and Summer would watch Ryan and Marissa's children and vice versa. Every married couple needed their alone time.
And to the relief of the whole Cohen clan, Ryan and Marissa had finally gotten married soon after their second daughter's birth.
Seth smiled as well and pulled Summer closer to him.
After ten years of being married to the most wonderful woman in the whole world, he still didn't seem to get enough of her.
He knew he would never be able to love anybody more than her – except for his children, and he knew that Summer felt the same. Just as a confirmation, Summer leant over and kissed him again, soft and loving.
"I love you." Summer whispered into Seth's ear. And even after almost 15 years of being together with Summer, ten of them married, those three words made Seth shiver so wonderfully like the first time he heard Summer say them.
"I love you." He replied and kissed her softly on the cheek. Summer smiled and felt as happy as she had never been before. And she knew that she wouldn't be any happier in her life. She had Seth and their three wonderful children. What else could a woman wish for?
Seth smiled as well as he watched his children playing. He remembered the policy his and Summer's marriage was built on.
"Let's just live and see what happens."
They had lived and had seen what happened. They still did, and they always would be.
And what they saw was bliss.
