A/N: Okay, when I set out to write an epilogue, I ran into a few issues. Just how did I want this to end? The problem is, I'm not sure how I want it to end! So I came up with a few different scenarios. This is just the first. It's kind of the uber happy ending. The others will not be that, I can assure you. And maybe I don't even write the others, I'm not sure. But this one I certainly wanted to write. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, and please review. Thanks!
Six years later…
The first rays of morning light lit the bedroom. Sarah woke to the sound of birds chirping just outside her window that had been left open to allow the fresh late springtime air to fill the house with the wonderful smell of life renewed. Sarah breathed deep the scent, and snuggled deeper into the embrace of her husband, whose muscular arm was thrown across her, holding her in the spoon position.
She felt him begin to stir.
"Mornin', babe," Devon said sleepily as he pressed a kiss to her neck.
"Mmmhmm," Sarah hummed. Teasingly she ground her still well toned backside into her husband's groin.
"Feeling naughty this morning I see," Devon whispered against her ear, his warm breath causing her to shudder. It amazed her that he still had that effect on her. Before Sarah could answer, he lightly pulled her chin around to face him and kissed her lips lightly.
"Do you think we have time before –"
Sarah's question was cut off as the bedroom door was flung open.
"Mommy, daddy!" shouted the voice of the rambunctious little boy standing just in front of his sister. Both children had blond hair and blue eyes, just like their parents. Both were tall for five year olds. Little Ryan was the perfect image of his father. He was loud and very outgoing. Lori on the other hand was much more like her mother. She was very shy, very unassuming, but it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that she'd be a heartbreaker when she got a bit older.
"Good morning baby!" Sarah said enthusiastically. True, she wouldn't have minded a little morning glory with her husband, but she always had time for the twins. They were the most important people in her life.
"You didn't forget, did you?" Ryan asked, crossing his arms.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Devon teased the little boy.
"The water park!" the little boy exclaimed indignantly. "It opens today and you said we could go!"
"Oh did we now?" Devon asked, feigning ignorance.
"You did say we could go," Lori piped up softly.
"Then I guess you guys better help me drag your mom out of bed, then," Devon said.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the two five year olds ran across the room and jumped onto the king-size bed. They started to pull the covers off of Sarah and tried to pull her up by her hand.
"I'm coming, I'm coming," Sarah groaned, trying to suppress the giggle that was bubbling up in her throat.
"Hey, how about a hug for your parents?" Devon asked.
The two kids wrapped their little arms around Sarah and held her as tight as they could even as Sarah returned the hug. Devon came behind them all and pulled them all into a tight embrace.
As she held her babies, and Devon held them all in his strong arms, Sarah sighed happily. This was all she'd ever wanted, and even if she'd had to kiss a few toads on the way, she finally had her prince charming and the life of happiness she'd always dreamed of.
A/N: You guys are awesome. Peace.
