Disclaimer: Not mine. But I own their kids, and all the new people here in the last chapter. Hope you'll like the end of the story. Here goes..
A New Beginning
Chapter 15. The Epilogue
"Happy birthday, mom!" the 7 kids yelled as they walked into Ross and Rachel's bedroom.
Rachel smiled brightly as she saw her wonderful kids coming in with breakfast.
Little Jane crawled up on her mothers lap. She was 8 years old, and a little keeper. She was a perfect mix between Ross and Rachel. Rachel hadn't a single time regretted having her. She was amazing. Even though she had been some troubles through the pregnancy, she had been worth it.
Jonathan's wife came into the bedroom with one year old Tom in her arms. Rachel opened her arms happily to great her grandchild, who was screaming in delight. After Jonathans wife, who by the way was named Ann, came in Dan. He was engaged to Rebecca. She'd finally won him over. After one date, she couldn't live without him.
Clara was greeting her boyfriend with a kiss. His name was Allan, they'd just started dating. Clara wasn't one who settled that easy for a guy. But Rachel had a pretty good feeling about Allan. Joshua was holding hands with his girlfriend for two years now, Jen. Rain greeted her girlfriend, yeah Rain had become a lesbian, but that didn't bother Ross and Rachel. The whole family felt okay about it.
Rain had had the same girl for four years now. They've met when they were 17, and started out as friends, but then something had hid them. And now they were happy together.
Gretchen was sitting on the bed with her 5 year old son, Bryan. She became pregnant when she was 15. Rachel had been a little shocked, but of course choose to help her out. Now she loved her first born grandchild more then anything. They didn't have contact with the father, but Gretchen had a boyfriend now, and he was coming into the room, greeting his soon to be parents in-laws, because he was planning on proposing. And Bryan was great with him.
Rachel looked around at her family. Everyone was growing so fast. They had their own lifes now. But they still had time to come visit their mother on her 50th birthday. Rachel searched her eyes for Ross. He was smiling happily towards her from the door. She got up and kissed him sweetly on the lips.
"I'm so glad things turned out the way they did" Ross whispered.
"Me too" Rachel smiled, "I love you so much"
"Mommy!" Jane yelled, "Bryan is annoying me!"
"Tell it to his mother!" Rachel said, then she looked at Gretchen, who just jumped up screaming her lungs; "YES! YES, YES, YES! I'll marry you!"
Everybody in the room started cheering. Saying congratulations to Gretchen and Nick, that was his name.
Rachel took turn and talked to each of her children. They all seemed so happy. Rain sweetly told her mother that she and her girlfriend, Bridget, had decided on getting married. Soon there were two weddings then, and counting Rebecca and Dan's too, there were three.
Then Joshua and Jen came with and announcement; they were having a baby, and therefore thinking about getting married too. They'd see where it was going. Sometime everything would work out for them, Rachel knew it. Rachel's work was still an important thing for her, but she shared her store with Rebecca and Clara. They did most of the work, though. Rachel and Ross had enough money, and soon Rachel would let Clara take charge down there. Gretchen was a doctor of palaeontology like her father. Joshua was playing football and working in a day care 50/50. Jonathan was a lawyer, and Rain had taken a chance on an acting career a few years ago, when she couldn't find out what she wanted. It worked okay for her. She mostly did musicals, she could sing in those.
Rachel raised her cup with coffee, "I know it's my birthday and you guys are supposed to make a toast for me, but I just need to tell all of you just how happy I am that you're my family. Not only my kids, but God, all those wonderful people they're married and engaged too. I just cant wait to see in ten years, how many grandchildren I'll have then. And Jane, I cant wait till you'll get your first boyfriend and I can make him feel awkward and scared"
The people laughed.
"I just wanna tell you that I love you all, okay?" Rachel eyes ran with tears, "All of you, you mean the world to me and I love you more than anything. To a healthy and happy family"
They all clincked glasses.
Okay, I know the ending was cheesy, but I felt like writing it. That's me; I like cheesy endings, you know that. Liked my idea of Rain becoming a lesbian? I just need to let one of the kids be, so I thought Rain would be best. (And I don't know wyhy) And I know Gretchen having a child when she was 15 was a weird thought, but I somehow liked it. I hope you liked the ending. I'll finish my other stories and then write something new. Bye, Stessa.
