ABC Owns them

Epilogue

" I can't believe I was out numbered, I can't believe you guys are dragging me here to this place, this happy place, what is it called again?"

"It's Dizzy World" Three yr old Brianna told her dad as she popped her head out of the double stroller Natalie was pushing her and her twin sister Brooke in.

"That's Disney World, and look over there that's Space Mountain" Thomas said as he pointed to the big futuristic looking dome.

"Wow! That's suppose to go really, really fast, come on dad let's go," Patrick said as he tried to pull john towards the line for the ride.

"How fast is it supposed to go?" John said nervously as he looked towards the line of the ride

" Not sure, just really, really, fast, come on lets go" Thomas told John and tried to pull him by his arm but John wasn't moving, then Patrick grabbed John's other arm and started pulling him to, John was not budging.

"You know what boys, we just had a really big breakfast I'm kinda.. Kinda stuffed how about we hit that one later? your sisters want to go on the Winnie the pooh ride." John told them and he saw Natalie let out a little laugh, she walked closer to him and whispered in his ear.

"Someone afraid of a fast roller coaster" Natalie whispered in his ear so the kids wouldn't hear, she didn't want the boys that idolized their strong, rough, law enforcing dad to know the real truth, the truth that underneath that brooding exterior, underneath all his layers he was a pussy cat, a real teddy bear, their was nothing harsh or rough, or even cold about John Mcbain, not when you were lucky enough to cut thru those layers and find him, the real him.

Natalie smiled as she heard her eight yr old son Patrick talk, he made a few faces imitating disgust before they all heard his words.

"Winnie the pooh, yuck, mom can take them on that ride, we want to go on the fast roller coaster" Patrick said and then he saw his dad turn to his mom.

John looked at Nat for help, he hated roller coasters, he hated things like this, he had just started to some what like carnivals after Natalie made him take her and the kids to them when ever one came to town. John looked again at Natalie who was trying to get Brooke out of the stroller so the three of them could go on the Winnie the pooh ride. Natalie looked up at John with a slight smirk on her face, she shook her head, he didn't have to ask, she knew.

"You know what boys, I'd really like to go on that Roller coaster, what was it called again?" Natalie asked as she saw John's face change from nervous to thankful

"Space mountain" nine yr old Thomas replied

"Maybe if it's okay with dad he'll let me go instead, that is if he doesn't mind watching your sisters, I did hear that ride goes really, really fast and it's a lot of fun"

"Do you mind honey, I mean I know the pooh ride won't be as much fun, or nearly as daring as Space Mountain but I'd really like to try it" Natalie asked John and she couldn't help but smile at him, he gave her one of her favorite grins.

"If you really want to babe, go ahead I'll take care of the girls" John told her and he went closer to her and gave her a quick kiss on the lips, he leaned into her ear.

"Now I remember why I love you so much" he whispered in her ear and she laughed.

"You owe me Mcbain, you owe me a lot" Natalie told him as she took the boys by their hands and she started to walk off with them, John watched her walk away, she turned back briefly as she continued to walk and she saw him pick both of the girls up, one in each arm, as she saw his mouth start to say something.

"I owe you much more than you'll ever know" John said as he watched her turn back around and walk with their sons to the ride.
