ABC owns them


Epilogue

"Hey Kenny, when did you sneak in?" Natalie asked the older gentlemen as she walked into the living room to see him. She went to him, kissed his cheek.

"A few minutes ago" he told her as he kissed her cheek back

"Here for the big game huh?" she asked him and he laughed

"Yup, got my invite, was told the McBains were playing the Thompson's for neighborhood bragging rights, and I knew I couldn't afford to miss this one," he said and they both laughed

'Oh, those neighborhood bragging rights alright" she said as they both walked over to the front window, they looked outside and smiled, there were children everywhere, and there was John in the middle of all of them.

Natalie smiled as she looked on to see John explaining something to CJ about throwing the football down the front yard to his eight-year-old younger brother TJ.

Natalie couldn't help but continue to smile. She could still remember the day John taught CJ how to play football, he was barely three and TJ was a little over one. She chuckled remembering all the padding he had bought the kid so he wouldn't get hurt, he even put TJ in the stroller along side them as they practiced ever day as if he could understand what they were saying with terms like fumble, QB, and interception.

Natalie was brought out of her thought as her six-year-old twin girls ran into the house crying.

"What's wrong?" she asked as she wiped away their tears with her hands.

"Daddy is being mean again, he says... he says there's no crying in Football and if we wanna cry we can't play" The twins Brandy and Bree told her as Natalie leaned down to there ears.

"You two go and tell daddy I said you both can play whether you cry or not and if he doesn't like it to come and see me, I'll show him where to put his football... I...I mean... tell him to see me" she said and she laughed, she wiped away the remains of there tears from their faces, and then they turned and watched them tell John to see her, he looked at her as he walked into the house for a moment. Kenny saw him coming in and he excused himself not wanting to get in the middle of this one.

"Honey, I can't have them crying and screwing up the game, I really wanna win this one, beat that know it all, my yard is nicer that yours Fred Thompson" he told her and she couldn't help but laugh

"John" was all she had to say

"I Know, I know, there children, this is all for fun, don't push them to hard, you're right, I just got carried away with myself, I love you" he said and she smiled, he kissed her cheek and started to walk out the door, looked at his watch and then walked back over towards her.

"Wasn't JJ's nap up a half hour ago, I really need him to run interference so we can win this one" he told her and she gave him a look. He kissed her quickly, saw she was a bit mad, but then she smiled at him.

"Just joking babe, just joking I'll use one of Michael's kids, there so dopey they haven't a clue what they are doing" she laughed as he ran outside to play the game with the whole neighborhood watching. He called back out to her.

"Are ya gonna come help us kick some butt or what?" he asked her and she smiled

'Yeah, let me get the four year old from his nap" she told him as he ran onto the lawn and started lining up the kids to play, she shook her head, he was so damn sexy with all those kids, still after all these years.
