Epilogue

Early May:

"Here you go, all cleaned up," A nurse handed Gabriela her newborn son.

Gabriela smiled as she took her son and held him in her arms. The newborn yawned and put his thumb in his mouth.

"He's perfect," Gabriela couldn't help the tears falling from her eyes as she watched her son sleep.

"So are you," Matt kissed her cheek, "I love you so much; and I think he has the right idea, sleep is the best thing for all of us right now.

"I can't sleep," Gabriela was in fact exhausted; twenty-six hours of labour could do that to you however she couldn't bare the thought of letting go her baby.

"Sweetie you're exhausted, you can barely keep your eyes open. I'll tell you what. I'll go and tell everyone he's here and then when I get back I'll hold him while you get some sleep.

Gabriela's eyelids were heavy and her mouth dry. "Can you get me some water too?"

"Of course," He leaned over and kissed her on the lips. "You want ice water?"

"Yes please."

Matt carefully stood from the bed and tiptoed towards the door.

Once he was gone Gabby looked down at the sleeping newborn in her arms. Stroking his head gently with her thumb she said, "Your Daddy's a great man. He loves you, your older brother and sister so much; he'd do anything for you guys. You're going to grow up knowing you're loved," She kissed his forehead. "You're so very much loved."

Matt returned with a glass of cold ice water and a bottled water and handed Gabby the cup them opening the bottled water and taking a sip he said, "So Antonio says congratulations and he and Dani will try to bring the kids tomorrow to see him. He's not sure though, Carla has track and Diego has karate and it might be hard to get everyone here all at once. He said at the very least he'd bring the twins down.

"To be honest I'd rather not see anyone all at once."

"That's what I told him," Matt kissed her forehead, "Now get some sleep."

Gabriela couldn't argue anymore she handed their baby to Matt and within minutes she was out.


"Getting here early was a good idea," Antonio saw the already crowded parking lot, "I'm going to park on the street."

It was the High-school baseball championship game, the winner going to Springfield to play in the High-school State Championship. Freddie was starting second baseman and citywide leader in home runs

"Mom, Dad we're sitting with Alex right?" Nine-year-old Diego asked of his best friend.

"I don't see why not. His older brother is in grade nine right?"

"Uh-huh, he's a catcher."

"Tell you what bud, why don't we go ahead and look for him." Antonio told his son as he jumped onto the sidewalk from the car, "Maria do you want to come or do you want to stay with your Mom and cousins?"

"I want to stay."

"If he find Alex and his parents I'll text you," Antonio told his wife.

Dani nodded her head, "Good luck," She unbuckled Serena and Michael from their car seats.

Carrying two year olds Serena and Michael Dani also kept a close eye on her seven-year-old daughter who was walking ahead of her.

"Mom I see Carla!" Maria pointed to where her fifteen-year-old sister and the other members of the sprit squad where doing face paint for people, "Can I go see her?"

"Wait for me okay," Even though Dani could see her eldest daughter she didn't like Maria going to far ahead of her.

"Re-re," Serena reach for her cousin, "Walk with Re-re?" She looked at her aunt.

"Okay but hold her hand. Maria make sure she doesn't let go," Dani warned as she placed the two year old on the ground and she grabbed Maria's hand.

"I won't," Maria happily walked with her younger cousin, "Do you want to get your face painted?"

"Yes!" Serena smiled, "By Carla."

"Maria make sure your sister isn't to busy first," Dani warned from behind as she held Michael who was taking in all of the sites and sounds of the pre-game festivities.

"Hi Carla!" Maria, ignoring her mother ran up to her older sister, "Can we get our face painted?"

"Maria," Carla sighed shaking her head, "Where's Mom?" She huffed in annoyance, she didn't want to be seen talking to her younger sister in public.

"Oh, how cute," Becky, one of Carla's friends was in awe of two year old Serena, "How cute? Is this your younger sister?"

"No, cousin." Carla responded. Now in grade ten Carla had found her place in high school and as a result had calmed down a little from her previous year and had also found some better friends. Although she did still go to parties with her friends she knew to call her parents if she was ever in any trouble. Dani and Antonio for there part were a bit more trusting of her but still insisted on meeting all of her friend's parents.

"She's adorable, can I paint her face?"

"Sure."

"Hi sweetie," Dani approached her oldest daughter. "How's everything going?"

"Shouldn't you find a seat Mom," Carla urged her away, "The game's about to start."

Dani nodded her head, she understood that Carla was busy and wanted to be with her friends.

"Look!" Serena smiled happily after Becky had painted her face.

"Ooh, a number nineteen. That's Freddie's number," Dani smiled, "Are you Freddie's biggest fan?"

"Go Deddie!" Serena clapped.

"Oh she's so cute!" Becky sighed, "I want a cousin like her."

"Baseball!" Michael pointed to where the teams were warming up, "Baseball! Me baseball. He tried to squeeze out of Dani's hold, "Baseball," He whined.

"Come on Maria we better find your father and brother," Dani held her hand out for her daughter to take, "Actually," She changed her mind and picked up Serena, "It's to crowded, I don't want her walking."


"BABY!" Serena ran into the hospital room carrying a small teddy bear, "For baby!" She held out the bear to her parents.

At the loud noise the one-day old infant squirmed in Matt's hold and let out a soft cry.

"Thank you sweetie, but we need to try to be quiet for the baby."

"Ooh baby," Serena stood on her tiptoes to try and see her baby brother, "Me hold?"

"Here," Freddie stepped forward, "I'll hold him for a minute."

"Sure, just be careful," Matt handed the newborn to his fifteen-year-old nephew.

"Hi little buddy," Freddie smiled at the small baby in his arms, "You're going to be my new best friend."

"I don't think so," Antonio shook his had knowingly, "You're not going to use your new cousins as a girl magnet."

"Who said anything about that?

"Because I know you," Antonio pointed a finger at his son.

Freddie sighed and handed the infant back to Matt.

"Here Serena," Matt gently put the baby in the toddler's arms and positioned him, "Put one hand on his head like this."

"Small baby," Serena said.

"He is small."

"Oh, that's so cute," Carla took a picture of Serena holding the baby, "That's my new profile picture."

"Uh, Carla, shouldn't you ask Tia Gabby and Tio Matt first?" Dani prompted her daughter.

"I'd feel better Carla if you used one of you holding him, but maybe don't put it online okay?"

"Okay Tia Gabby," Carla agreed.

"So I heard you had your best game yet yesterday," Matt turned to Freddie, "You got the hit that won the game."

"Yeah but it was really a team effort." Freddie didn't like all the attention and pressure on him; it made him nervous and uncomfortable.

"When's the State tournament?"

"In three weeks. A three hour bus ride to Springfield."

"Oh you'll have fun, pranking your friends who fall asleep and stealing phones pretending to be other people," Matt smiled.

"Don't encourage him," Antonio shook his head, "If I can go he won't be doing any of that."

"What about you Carla? Are going to go?"

"Well the sprit squad members and some cheerleaders can go but I have a track meet that week so I'm not going."

"Me go," Michael said happily.

"Yeah Michael seemed to really like the baseball game. He was a big hit with the cheerleaders."

"That doesn't surprise me," Gabby replied, "He's going to he's girls lined up at the door when he gets older."

"Ew, girls," Michael stuck his tongue out.

"You won't think that in a few years buddy," Antonio ruffled the boy's dark locks.

"Waaa!" The newborn baby kicked his feet.

"Loud!" Serena covered her ears.

"He's hungry," Gabby spoke, "Here let me see him."

"Mom, Dad can we go?" Diego asked, the idea of seeing his aunt breast feed nauseating.

"Why don't you go and get something to eat," Antonio gave him a few dollars.

"I'll go with him!" Freddie and Carla volunteered at the same time.

"I'll stay," Maria decided.

"So," Antonio asked, "Have you decided on a name yet?"

"Yeah," Gabby nodded her head, "Noah Antonio Casey."
