Chapter 20: Years Later

Reggie was in the kitchen of hers and Lars's home. She was putting the candles on the twin's birthday cake. She and Lars were so happy that it was the twin's birthday to day. Reggie heard someone behind her. She turned around and saw Ilithyia standing in the doorway to the kitchen.

"What is it honey?" She asked her now ten year old daughter.

"Mommy where is daddy at?" the little girl asked her mother.

"Daddy is on his way home from work." Reggie said to her. Ilithyia smiled and ran outside. Reggie smiled and walked outside with the cake. She looked over and saw Ilithyia with Zander. They were both with their Uncle Otto and Uncle Twister. Otto was now a Pro Skater and Twister was an intern at a sports station. Reggie was glad that she was a stay at home journalist for a big magazine company. She was also glad that she got to stay home with the kids and watch them grow. Just then she heard the front door open and close. She smiled to herself. She walked in and saw Lars standing at the island in the kitchen. He was taking off his belt that had his gun on it. Reggie was glad to see that Lars loved being a Game Warden. He was now the youngest Sergeant ever.

"Nice to see that you could make it." She walked over to him and kissed him. Lars smiled down and kissed his wife.

"I know it isn't." He joked with her. Just then the twins ran in.

"Daddy!" They both yelled out. Lars knelt down and hugged them.

"We are about to eat cake." Zander told his father.

"We are?" Lars asked him.

"Yea come on lets go outside." Zander and Ilithyia pulled him towards the door.

"Can I take off my uniform first?" He asked them.

"No!" They both yelled as the pulled him outside.

"They are right you look good in that." Reggie said behind them. The twins both made a face when Reggie said this.

Everyone gathered around and sang happy birthday to the twins. They both blow out the candles and everyone cheered. Reggie was cutting the cake when Sam walked up to her. She could see that he was tired. Sam was a doctor at the hospital. She gave him his piece of cake and then gave a piece to her dad. After everyone had gotten their cake Reggie walked over to Lars.

"I'm glad that you asked me out to prom."

"Me too." Lars said and looked over at her.
