A\N: So my original plan was to have a separate epilogue with and it being eight years into the future but having the epilogue and the last chapter all together just seemed to make the most sense. The epilogue is now five years instead of eight and the chapter is pretty short but I hope you enjoy it anyways. I would like to thank all of you for reading this story, it means so much to me. This chapter was edited by my beta reader; the names of the children in the epilogue were giving to me by a reviewer and the genders of the kids was the winning option on my poll.

Friday
"We're home! You're better not be kissing again are you?" Eva called as she and Diego walked in the front door of their house after school.
"Hahaha Funny. Hey you two; how was school?" Matt walked around the corner.
"Boring, like always," Diego responded as he took off his shoes, 'Uhmm Where's Aunt Gabby?"
"She went for lunch with a friend; she should be home soon; but in the meantime, why don't you two go upstairs and pack clothes for tonight and tomorrow. You're staying with Abuela and Abuelo since Aunt Gabby and I have work tomorrow; so we're dropping you two off at tonight after dinner."
"Hey is it ok if I have a snack first? I'm hungry."
"Of course you can Diego," Matt started walking towards the kitchen, "What do you want?"
"Seriously? I can have anything?" His eyes lit up.
"Hey, hey now," He chuckled, "You can't fool me anymore I've been here for a week; I know you only get healthy snacks after school."
"You are getting good," Eva smiled.
Matt went and prepared them a snack that consisted of crackers and cheese and watch them laugh and giggle as they ate. He was really going to miss watching them; but unlike before when Griffin and Ben left, he had a strong feeling that one-day; in the not so distant future he'd have kids of his own.
Five Years Later:
The doorbell rang and inside the house squealing and running commenced shortly after as four pairs of little legs went running down the stairs; in excitement overload.
Peeking their heads out the window the two children giggled as the stood behind the door while their mother opened it.
"Boo!" They jumped out at the occupants outside.
"Oh!" Antonio gasped holding his chest, "You two scared me!" He said in mock horror, "You need to watch yourselves," He added a playful warning as he kissed his sister's cheek and he the forehead of the small baby in her arms.
"Uncle Antonio!" Two and a half year old Nelia held up her arms, "Pick me up!"
"Me too!" Nieve copied her twin sister, "Me too!"
"Can you girls say please?"
"Pwese!" They pouted.
"Ok I could never say no to those lips," Hi heart melted as he scooped up the twins into his arms and took turns tickling them.
"Hey," Laura was next to hug Gabby, "Here let me take the baby," She took nine month old Javier into her arms and smiled as the little boy began playing with her hair, "Auntie Laura missed you," She cooed as she tickled her nephew.
"Well I'm not going to complain," Gabby shrugged her shoulders as her three children were being entertained, "It'll give me a chance to catch up with the two of you," She looked at thirteen year old twins Freddie and Carla, "How's your summer been so far?"
"Great!" Freddie smiled, "I sleep all day!"
"What about you Carla?"
"Well I, unlike some people, I have a life. I have soccer and volleyball and I'm volunteering at a day camp with kids."
"Hey I go boxing with Dad!" Freddie gently shoved her, "That counts."
"Come on Matt's out back getting the barbeque ready," Gabby led the way into the backyard.
"Carwa play?" Nelia reached for her older cousin as they got into the backyard, "Push me?" She pointed to the swing set? Pwese?"
"Why are you so cute? It's hard for me to say no."
"I know," She smiled broadly.
"Fine!" Carla took her from her father's arms and settled the toddler on her hip, "But later we're playing my favourite game."
"What Carwa?"
"Tickle Monster!" Carla began tickling her then setting he on the ground she yelled, "Don't let the tickle monster get you!
Nelia laughed as she ran away from Carla.
"Me play! Me play!" Nieve clapped.
"Okay sweetheart," Antonio set her on the ground.
"Me play Carwa?" She walked to her cousin.
"Of course you can!" She began chasing the young girl as she joined her sister and ran around the small outside yard.
Matt watched as the his twins girls played with their cousins, and watched his son Javier try to pull his aunts hair. He marvled at how, in the last five years his life had drastically changed. He was married to the most gorgous woman on the plaent and together they had created three beautiful children. He had the life he had always wanted and he couldn't have ben happier.
