A/N: I know some of you had said the last chapter had posed more questions than answers, I know, I had done that on purpose as I had already had a epilogue in mind. So here it is! The Epilogue, Enjoy! I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters, I'm just borrowing them.
Catherine smiled as the smell of bacon and eggs filled her nose, she hurried from the bed with a sigh and waddled down stairs to the kitchen, Vincent stood over the hob engrossed in his task.
Catherine snuck behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Vincent turned and smiled at her.
"Good morning, how are you feeling?" Vincent asked as he twiddled with her engagement ring that was accompanied by her wedding band.
"I'm fine, it's you that's going to have a problem if you don't relax" Catherine chided with a giggle.
Their attention was bought to a vehicle pulling up outside their beautiful house; they'd bought the house 8 years ago one year after they got married. It was a spacious 4 bedroom with a huge back garden.
Tess and J.T stepped out of the car within in second's two little tykes came running in, J.T and Tess' 10 year daughter Catherine or 'Kitten' as they called her and their son Oliver who was 6.
"Hey you two slow down!" Tess yelled.
Oliver ignored his mother "Come on!" he yelled behind himself.
Soon after Oliver reached the door to his honorable aunt Cat's and Uncle Vincent's, he was trapped in a bear hug from behind.
Catherine smiled.
"Daniel!" she hurried over and scooted him into her lap.
Daniel Thomas Keller was 5 years old and Vincent and Cat's adoptive son and they loved him more than anything in the world.
Whilst the children played the adults reminisced about all the 'old' times, Vincent and Tess had known each other since they were their own children's ages and then they had met Catherine and J.T in college at different times.
"So how are you doing?" Tess asked as she stroked Cat's swollen belly.
Catherine was 8 months pregnant with twins which were a miracle since she was told she'd never bear her own hence the adoption of Daniel (whom they wouldn't change for the world).
"I'm actually having a little bit of pain but other than that I'm doing great."
Tess gave her a weary look.
"I'm fine Tess honestly, if it gets any worse I'll call the doctor but discomfort is normal at this stage, right?" Cat reassured her best friend.
Later that day after a fun filled day at the park saying good bye to their friends and the kids Vincent and Cat tucked a very tired Daniel off to bed and set off to their own as well.
Whilst cuddling and enjoying the peace of bedtime (not that would count for anything soon as new-borns don't care what time of day it is) like often they thought about all the things that brought them to this stage in their life.
It of course all started with their meeting each other 16 years ago at the sweet ages of 18 and 20.
Do you always make a habit of barging through doors?
Was the first thing he had asked her when she ploughed into him in her dorm room.
If not for Tess they might not have even been together since they hadn't exactly gotten off on the right foot, until Tess tricked them into going to a concert together.
He had been there through everything especially her mother's death.
He had never given up on her not even when 10 years ago a co-workers crush James was his name took it to dangerous levels.
James had kidnapped Catherine not long after their engagement prying on her vulnerability after a devastating miscarriage, during this time Vincent refused to sit there and let it go he made sure the police did something about it, it was also James' doing after a vicious beating why Catherine and Vincent had been told she wouldn't be able to give birth to her own biological children.
The doctors had been wrong about that though because here she was 10 years later pregnant with twins! Not that it would've mattered anyway since adopting Daniel the Keller's had come to realise biological relations had very minimal to do with what being a family is about.
James however hadn't been so luckily (thank-god) whilst he was trying to make his getaway he ended up in a fatal car crash. Some might say that was lucky that he hadn't had to pay for his mistakes but at least Cat and Vincent never had to worry about him coming back for seconds.
After vicariously talking for what seemed like hours they both fell asleep until Cat woke Vincent with a nudge.
"Vincent the babies they're coming!"
Vincent gathered all the things they needed and ushered Cat and Daniel into the car, dropping Daniel off to Tess and J.T's first before they headed to the hospital.
Once at the hospital they called Heather to let her know the twins were coming, she said she would get in touch with their father who was currently on honeymoon with his new wife Brooke.
Hours had passed and the babies became stubborn.
"Just like their mother!" Vincent said to the nurse as she checked Cats vitals.
This made the nurse laugh because Catherine had said the exact same comment about him 5 minutes ago when he went to use the restroom.
Eventually it was decided the best course of action was a C-section as soon as Cat was prepped and ready she was wheeled of to the operating theater.
Vincent stood by her the whole time and held her hand and he watched his babies be delivered.
The babies had been delivered 6 hours ago and were preparing to meet their big brother.
Daniel walked in and gave his father a hug, Vincent sat him down on the bed and he crawled up to Catherine who was holding both the babies in her arms.
"Be careful of mommy okay Daniel!"
"Kay daddy."
Catherine placed a kiss on her hand and touched it to Daniels forehead.
"I love you!" She whispered to her son. "You wanna see?" Daniel nodded.
Catherine lifted the babies slightly so Daniel could see their faces.
"This one is your sister"
"What's her name mommy?"
"Yeah Cat what are their names? We've been waiting months to know!" Tess chipped in.
Cat laughed.
"Well your sister" Cat said turning her attention back to her little boy "is called Vanessa Tess Marie and your brother" she said turning her attention to her youngest son "is called Joshua William."
Daniel smiled and tested their names out.
"You wanna give them a kiss?" Vincent asked "You have to be really gentle though buddy!"
Daniel nodded and with his father's help kissed his new brother and sister.
6 weeks had passed and the Keller's were getting used to life with new-borns again, Catherine was finally healed from the C-section and was allowed to do things again, the family had decided to go on their first family outing at the park.
As Vincent and Catherine pushed the stroller along hand in hand Daniel ran on ahead sporadically chucking bread into the nearby pond for the ducks.
"This is what I had imagined the first day I met you, you know?" Vincent said staring into Cats eyes.
"You imagined all of this, our whole lives? Did you see any of the craziness in it? Because, if you did ya could have warned me!" She teased him.
Vincent rolled his eyes. "No, of course not, but I knew one day we'd have this- marriage, kids, family days like this and that I'd still love you as much as I did then. Although that bit I was wrong about because I actually love you more!"
Catherine smiled and kissed her husband sweetly.
She stood and looked around and took in the scene and relished in it, here she was in a park surrounded by mothers and their children and this time- she was one of them!
