Chappie #14 – The End
----------------------------------------------

"So we spent our first week together as husband & wife in Santa Barbara, where Vaughn always wanted to take me. It was so beautiful." I said, "And then 5 months later, there was my little Syrina Lynn." Vaughn smiled.

I was sitting on the floor in the livingroom with Vaughn, and our 2 kids: Syrina Lynn, and Michael Chase Jr. I was telling them the story of how their father & I had met and how they got here.

"So the new baby's in your tummy just like me & Mikey were?" Syrina asked, pointing at my large belly.

"Yes Syrina. Your little sister Kayleigh is in my tummy right now, and before you know it, she'll be sitting right here with us." I replied with a smile.

Syrina was 5, Michael Jr. was 3, and I was 7 months pregnant with another girl that Vaughn & I were naming Kayleigh Amber Vaughn.

"So you knew Daddy for 5 whole years before you married him?" Mikey asked.

"Yes sweetie. Because if I hadn't waited, we wouldn't have you & your sister." I replied.

"Why not?" he asked.

"Because your Mommy and I said that we weren't gonna have any kids, but we changed our minds later on." Vaughn replied, taking me in his arms. I smiled and kissed him.

"Ewwwwww! They're kissing!" Syrina yelled.

"Oh shush Syrina. You'll be married one day and then your kids will be saying the same thing." I said.

"Nuh uh! Boys have cooties!" Syrina replied. I laughed.

"I was just like you when I was little. But when you get older, you'll realise that boys don't really have cooties. You'll fall in love someday, just like mommy." I said, kissing her forehead.

"In any case, it's about time for you munchkins to go to bed." Vaughn said, peeking at the clock.

"But Daddy! What about how I got here?" Mikey asked.

"I'll tell you that story tomorrow." Vaughn replied.

"Awwww, rats." Mikey said.

"You'll survive. Now both of you, go brush your teeth and get ready for bedtime." I said. Syrina and Mikey did as they were told and went to their rooms to get in their pajamas.

"You know, I never thought I would spend an entire evening telling our kids about our past." Vaughn said.

"But they're always so inquisitive. Besides, we'd tell them sooner or later. And I like telling them when they're young because it instills in them that they'll fall in love someday." I replied.

"And then they'll tell their kids about how they met." He said.

"And the cycle will continue forever." I responded, kissing him.

"I love you Syd." He said.

"I love you too honey. And I can't wait to have little Kayleigh." I said.

"Yeah. Up all night, here we come." Vaughn replied sarcastically.

"Oh come on, you know you love it. And besides, that means you get another little princess to spoil." I responded.

"Yeah. So I get 2 princesses, my little guy, and my beautiful queen that I get to spoil for the rest of my life. I guess I'm okay with that." He said with a smile.

"I thought so." I replied, kissing him. He gave me one last hug before helping me up off the floor so we could tuck Syrina and Mikey in.
