EPILOGUE: 4 YEARS LATER

Lulu woke up in the middle of the night due to a night mare. "Spinelli!" She screamed as she hugged her knees tightly to her chest sobbing as she had violent memories of the fateful night 3 years ago. She cried into her hands and didnt even notice two little bodies moving through the dark trying to reach her. She fought memory after memory to stop them from coming but alas one of them managed to terrorize her.

During the whole funeral Lulu was completely silent. They had asked her multiple times if she wanted to make a speech but she just sadly shook her head and sat. Sam had her arms around Lulu's shoulders as she comforted the poor girl. Lulu shook violently after the funeral with tears. She held her hand to her stomache. In the past two hours of the funeral they hadnt kicked once... Maybe the twins knew it was a sad time. "Lulu do you want us to stay?" Sam asked as she gathered up Alyssa. "No I'm, OH GOD!" Lulu said as a contraction hit her sharply. "I think their coming." She said scared as she held her stomache in pain. "Lulu we have to get you to a hospital!" Sam exclaimed but Lulu shook her head. "No I wanna stay here... " She started crying. "I wanted Spinelli to be there for me and he's not. He prommmised." She said as she sobbed.

A little voice woke her from her memories. "Mommy... Are you okay?" Said her daughter Emma's tiny voice. "Ya sweetheart I'm okay." Lulu said trying to lie to her beautiful twins. "Mommy dont lie." Chirped a boys voice. "I'm sorry Damien. I shouldn't have lied." Lulu said and Damien grabbed his moms hand. "It sokay." He said as Emma grabbed the other hand. "Comeon Mommy... Its 6:00 we can watch a movie until morning." Emma smiled at her mommy. Damien decided to ask a question. "Why were you shouting our last name?" Lulu racked her brain. "Spinelli is not only our last name... Its the name I used to call your father." She said taking a chance. "Where do you think Daddy is Mommy?" The one twin started and the other interupted. "Ya Mommy do you think Daddy is in heaven or hell."

"Heaven ofcourse..." Lulu replied thinking of him. "Why?" Both twins asked in unison. "Because he died protecting us... The bullet was meant for me. The people that killed him. It was some crazy ex girlfriend of his that couldnt let go of him leaving her. She thought I was the reason he wouldnt go back so she wanted to get rid of me. So she shot at me and he ... he jumped infront saving us. He wouldnt let anything happen to any of us. He loved us." Lulu tried to explain and the twins nodded. "We sorry that we asked mummy." They murmered in a sad small voice.

It had been a couple of hours of silence, no talking just watching the movie when all the sudden they heard a knock on the door. "Hello its me Sam." "AND ME TOO!" Said Alyssa's bubbly voice. "Don forget me." Said another little voice, spencers voice. "Or Me either." Emily said loudly. The twins smiled at eachother. They had gotten changed with their Mom not to long ago.

"ALYSSA!" Screamed Emma running to the door pulling it open and hugging her best friend. "Hi Em." Alyssa said hugging her back as they watched the boys looked at eachother. "Spencer!" Damien yelled as both boys ran over to eachother and high fived. "Come on Mom... Lets get to the park." Damien said ushering Lulu. "One second Damien." Lulu sighed as she got her stuff ready and the kids backpacks ready but by the time she had gotten to the door the kids were at the other end of the hall racing towards the elevator.

"Hey Sam, Hi Emily." Lulu responded. "Hey Lulu," Emily and Sam said in unison. Both women walked towards the elevator. "SPENCER DONT YOU DARE PRESS THAT BUTTON." Emily yelled at Spencer who just laughed and laughed. "Spencer!" Emily growled as she held her hand on her bulging stomache and started to run towards Spencer. "Wow for a pregnant lady she runs fast." Damien commented. "Damien say your sorry to aunt Emily." Lulu said walking up to hear his comment. "Sorry Auntie Emily." He said in a sweet voice and she laughed. "I cant stay mad at you." Emily laughs hugging Damien...

Within moments their at the park and the kids are playing. Spencer and Damien are playing tag viciously as they attack eachother to get eachother it. The girls Emma and Alyssa are swinging in sync to eachother. Damien and Spencer tackle eachother to the ground as ask the girls to play. Reluctantly they start to play the game.

Within an hour the games are interupted by Alyssa's cries. "DADDY DADDY DADDY!" She screams running over to Jason wrapping her arms around his legs he lifts her up and you see Emma staring in a slight envious look. "DAD!!!" Spencer yells as he too deserts his friend to go hug his dad. Sam and Emily walk over to their husbands and children and three sets of eyes are burning into their backs.

Damien just stares at Spencer with his dad and he grabs Emma's hand and puts his arm around Emma's shoulder as he notices that she's crying. "Come on Emma." Damien whispers and they both walk towards Lulu who pulls them into her lap. Lulu hugs both twins as they watch the two familys walk off.

"Mommy... I wish Daddy was still alive."
