Hello! Here is the epilogue to the story. I will begin the sequel sometime this week. At the bottom of this page, I will post links to pictures of what I think Julietta/Ethne/Rosemary look like. There will be a different picture for each of them, as they obviously each have unique looks even though they're the same person. :)

Clare's POV-

I watched them intently, as they played in the grass. The blue-eyed little boy with straight black hair, and the green-eyed little girl with light-brown curls.

They were beautiful, to say the very least.

They were fraternal twins: Stella, and Skylar. They're four years old. I got pregnant with them just six months after Eli and I got married a few years back.

Adam was his best man; Alli was my maid of honor, and my one and only bridesmaid was Julietta.

Julietta has remained a close friend of both mine and Eli's. She's got a one-month old son, who's father isn't in the picture any more.

Julietta is the twins' godmother. In all retrospect, in should have been Alli, but Julietta was just a better choice in the end.

All in all, I believe things have turned out pretty good for all of us.

There's still the occasional nightmare, but Eli is always there to comfort me.

Sometimes, I think back, and wish things had been different. But, I try not to think of it too long, for fear of losing it, and I'd hate for my children to see me like that.

I hate how they'll never know they're grandmother; my mother. She'd of loved them to bits, and she'll never get the chance to meet them.

Even so, they have two wonderful grandparents, Cece and Bullfrog who adore them.

But, that doesn't stop the hurt, every time I look at Stella, and see a little bit of my mother's personality in her. Or when I glance at Skylar, and hear a little bit of my mother's laugh in his own...

It hurts, but I get through it. With the help of all of the wonderful people in my life...

God Forbid I should lose any of them...

Julietta's POV-

Things are great for the most part. I have a wonderful baby boy, named Jackson.

After everything that happened, Clare and Eli got married, and eventually had two adorable children.

They made me the godmother, which to me, was a big honor.

They're the Godparents of Jackson, too.

Lately, I've just been living life, and trying to be happy; trying to forget about all of the horrors of my past.

It's not always an easy task, but it's achievable.

What isn't achievable, is forgetting about the problem I have. It's undeniable, and impossible to mask. And I know it's taking its toll on me each and every day. Soon, it won't even matter any more.

The only one who knows about it is me. I can't bring myself to tell anybody else.

They don't need to worry about my problems, when they probably have some of their own...

So, instead, I live my life with this horrible secret, and I probably will for the rest of my days.

At least the part of my life I can actually control, is back on track...

I know it's short, but that's because it's just the epilogue. Eli doesn't have a POV in this, because he'd basically just be retelling everything Clare already said.

I am starting the sequel, I don't know what I'll call it yet, but I will put in the summary, that it's a continuation of "Ethne."

So, Julietta has a secret... Wanna take a guess?

You'll find out in part two.

And what do you think of Clare and Eli's twins? Hooray for random epilogue babies haha.

I may explain it in part two, I know it's a lot to take in... lol.

Anyways, Review! It'll make me happy! :D

Here are the pictures I mentioned in the A/N at the top of the page.

It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you erase the spaces so it is one url. It wouldn't let me post it or I'd have done it, but for the link to work right, there must be no spaces.
