So I spent nearly two weeks trying to come up with the words to form my epilogue and came up empty...so, here's my attempt.
Abject apologies to those who are probably screaming, 'FINALLY!', and also for extreme lack of words. I failed in that area.
Usual disclaimer.
Epilogue
Leah looks down at Imagine and presses a doting kiss to the infant's hair.
Although the past few nights have been both straining and exhausting, Leah happily decides that sleep is overrated.
"Hey." Emmett grins and kisses both. "How's my two favourite people?"
Its more of a rhetorical question, so Leah doesn't answer, instead smiling and kissing her husband again.
She then decides to answer him. "Happy."
Five years later
Leah watches Imagine and Emmett building her future tree-slash-cubby house. Imagine insisted on doing it without any help whatsoever, until it came to the lifting.
Leah grins at the thought. As if in response to her cheerful musings, the babies inside of her kick.
Twins this time.
They came along after a steamy encounter in blinding rain on the stone slab that overlooked the entire town.
Leah had already thought of their future names.
Ten years later
Imagine is out, with her boy friend. Note the space between the 'boy' and 'friend', as Imagine insists that they are only friends.
Leah can read her daughter well enough to know that this is not the case, although she knows that Daniel, Imagine's friend probably won't reciprocate her feelings as he has Asperger's Syndrome.
Raine and Roxanne (fondly called Roxie) are playing together, exchanging conversations through their telepathic abilities.
Leah smiles fondly at the two.
"Right girls, bath time."
She is answered by an onslaught of boos and moans in her head. She chuckles.
"Really guys? Come on, it's only a bath."
Although she doesn't need to speak, she does, out of habit. It's still hard to believe that her two daughters at age four have brains to rival a seventeen year old.
It must run in the family, as Imagine has an IQ of 160, and is two years ahead of herself in school.
Leah picks the twins up and carries them to their awaiting bathtub.
