~Epilogue~

"Head count!" Jesse announced as she stood in the gate room. They were making a trip to Earth for the first time since the new addition to the family. That's right, Jesse and Edward had more children.

"Jamie." She tapped her oldest on the head. Her mess of black curls bounced as she hopped toward the gate. She looked exactly like her mother. All the children looked like Jesse except for a few lingering Wraith characteristics. The slits on their cheeks looked more like scars, they were pale with a slight bluish tinge in the right light. Their eyes varied from green to grey to a sort of burgundy color. Jamie's eyes were grey as a storm.

"Colin." A hyper ball of energy with white hair and burgundy eyes flew past Jesse to cling to his father's jacket.

"Erin." A shy red head clung to her mothers hand for a few moments. Her green eyes stared up at Jesse to ask permission but her mother just smiled. Shyly, Erin shuffled over to her father, she looked so much like her grandmother.

"Emery." A dark haired boy with burgundy eyes looked grumpy. He hated leaving Atlantis, his home, but he had no choice. "Mommy, how long are we gonna be gone?" Jesse smiled at her little boy and patted his head. He sighed and joined his other siblings.

"Able, Max." The twins waddled past Jesse holding hands. Their silver curls glistened and their identical grey eyes glittered. They loved the Stargate and taking a trip through it made their day. Edward had to head them off so they wouldn't run through ahead of the rest of them.

"Nell." Red hair and burgundy eyes tottered down the steps. A little daddy's girl that one.

Coming down in John's arms, Jesse smiled at her closest friend. "Tess." She pinched the white haired, green eyed girl in his arms. John was teaching her how to golf and she was actually pretty good.

After taking her head count and lining each child up next to Edward, who was waiting with an infant in his arms, Jesse took her place by his side.

"Is the gate ready?" He called up to uncle Rodney.

"We're dialing it as we speak." He reassured Edward as he finished the dialing process and the gate burst to life. Making sure each child was holding hands with one another, Edward handed off the baby to Jesse. "Morgan is irritable." He made a face. The fussy red head clamed almost immediately as he rested in his mothers arms. Tears rimmed his grey eyes but he was finally nodding off.

"He's a momma's boy." She mused as she tried to pick up a rather large bag with Morgan in her arms.

Todd swiped the bag from her grasp. "Worry about your child and I will take the bag."

Todd had become a blessing. After he had initially saved them from the Queen bitch, he had devoted himself to helping with the child as soon as they began coming into the world. Nine children later and Jesse couldn't be any happier. The treatment for Wraith hunger had been completed mere months after Jamie was born. They celebrated and five months later they had Colin. They celebrated a lot.

Todd had a few more bags in his hands as he nodded toward the child. "Never gets old, huh?"

"The gate, the trips, or making more babies?"

"All of the above." He smiled.

"Perhaps a vacation is in order. Enjoy the children while they are still young." Todd suggested.

"Tired of playing babysitter?"

He smirked.

They were all happy with the situation. Ronon was on the other end to make sure the kids didn't run off in their excitement. He was a godsend as well. Always willing to help out when needed, good with the kids, and they adored him. Life was grand.

"You know, what would have happened if Ronon had convinced me to have dinner with him the second night I was here on Atlantis?"

"Ronon?!" Edward growled.

"We would not be caring for these children." Todd answered ,ignoring Edwards surprise.

"Oh." She smiled to herself and walked into the glimmering iris of the Stargate. John, Ronon and the children were waiting as they came through the other side. This crazy, mixed up family she had collected over the past seven years was perfect. Her brothers knew about Edward, the gate, the fact that she was living in another galaxy to raise her child. Happy as a bunch of clams, her brothers supported her and looked forward to every visit.

Jesse looked at the gate as it disengaged. This gate had brought her to the Pegasus Galaxy, given her Edward, and good friends. She owed her happiness to the Stargate, she owed her future to the gate. Every trip through the gate was a new adventure. It built onto her already blissful memories. Not every trip had happy memories but most of them did. The rest of her life would be spent on adventures, raising her children, and loving her Edward. Regardless of the fact that he was a Wraith, her children were half-Wraith, nothing would ever separate them. Destiny, fate was irreversible. Jesse definitely believed in fate.
