"I can't believe it's been a whole year since we rescued the Descendants." Carlos and Jay sat on a bench together in a small park that sat between Auradon Prep and the Descendant Village. The village itself had changed into a real town. They had houses built, more apartments, stores and even the park. The magic had been slowly removed as they replaced it with electric.

"Seven months since Ben became king" jay shot back.

Carlos shook his head, he still couldn't believe Ben was actually a king now. Everyone in Auradon seemed to be very happy with him because unlike his father he saw the whole picture, not just his tiny part of it.

The younger Descendants had been placed with foster parents, then adopted once their foster found suitable parents. The teenagers had largely remained in the village, a few were adopted with their younger siblings, but for the most part they didn't try for a new home. They had been on their own too long. The village had some of the best artisans in Auradon. Despite being teens they had been making their own things so long it was second nature. It started when Audrey visited with Ash and Diego, who had gotten engaged and moved in together after Bens coronation, saw their furniture and fell in love. Diego didn't see the big deal, after all he'd made his bedroom set on the Isle too. Audrey offered to pay him to make her a set and before he knew it he was making pieces before anyone ordered them and opening a store front. His friends often stopped by to help him with designs and detail work, most of them had found jobs cleaning the school or working at the castle, so they helped him part time.

Other teens quickly started to show off what they could make.

"Unc!" a small boy with black hair and blue eyes yelled while running at Carlos full speed. Carlos grinned and scooped the small boy up.

"Hey there Sy, where's daddy?" he asked as Diego jogged into sight.

"Oh good you caught him, little rat is fast." Diego whined.

Jay laughed. Sy as he was called was the youngest descendant he'd been under one year old when they left the Isle. They'd tried to adopt him out, but he always cried if he was away from Diego or Mal for a long time. Diego had finally given up and said he'd adopt the kid. Anita had tried to talk him out of it, but he was technically qualified and Sy seemed to love him, so in the end she gave up and accepted her to-be son in law came preloaded with a grandson.

Diego flopped on the bench, "I swear he has a perpetual sugar high."

"Might be his parents, the biological ones I mean." Carlos said. In truth no one was sure who had fathered or birthed the child. Even on the Isle he was basically an orphan, cared for by the other kids. Rumors said Sid was his father, but no one ever hinted at a mom for the child.

"Why don't we give Dada a break and kidnap the Munchkin for a while?" Jay asked with a grin.

"I think he'll probably kiss you if we do" Carlos said while standing up and settling Sy on his hip. "I guess we'll risk it. D, go home, take a nap or something. We'll drop him off after dinner."

Carlos and Jay took the toddler back to their apartment and let him loose. He gravitated to his toys that occupied a corner of the room. Carlos often watched Sy while Jay helped Diego at the shop. Ash had gotten a job doing make up for Snow White, so she often had to leave at a moments notice when a new story broke. Carlos and Jay were like second parents to the kid. Carlos flopped on the couch and proceeded to channel surf.

"Hey C, want a grilled cheese?

"Yes!"

"Sy, food?" He asked

"Yum, yums!" he agreed.

Jay smiled and set about the kitchen, a few minutes later he tossed two sandwiches on one plate, and one on a plastic plate that had a picture of Pluto on it. He dropped them on the coffee table along with a can of soda for Carlos and a sippy cup of juice for Sy. When he went back with his own sandwich and soda Carlos was almost done and glued to his laptop while the TV played a show for Sy. Jay settled in and leaned on Carlos, watching what he was doing on the computer. He smirked, yet again Carlos was looking for his car, but this time he was looking for one that worked. He'd realized at Ben's coronation that his couldn't be the only one in existence, so he entertained himself with looking for one and planning what he would do it when he got it. Their afternoon passed, after Carlos cooked dinner they walked back over to Dieogs and Ashs.

"Mamma, Dada" Sy chanted while pounding his tiny fists on the door. Ash opened it and scooped him up in a hug, "Hi Squirt, didja have fun with your uncles?"

The little boy nodded and launched into an explanation of his day that no one fully understood.

Jay sneaked away while Carlos tried to translate Sy's day into English.

"Here you go, it's in your garage" Diego said while handing him a key. Jay grinned, Carlos was going to freak out in about ten minutes.

"Fucking awesome" Jay said trying to contain his excitement.

"You guys deserve it, really, you four saved the rest of us. Mal got her prince, Evie is practically the name in fashion and you two got each other. Everything you guys ever wanted you got, this is just the last little piece." Jay pulled Diego into a hug, the two of them had ended up as close as brothers over the last year.

"Jay you coming, or is this going to get interesting?" Carlos teased. Ash choked on her drink while Diego blushed and Jay laughed, "I don't wanna injure Sy's eyes, so I guess I'm coming."

"Mind if we stop by the house? I wanna check on everything."

"Sure." Carlos agreed and followed jay. They had started building their own home about a month ago. On Halloween Jay had asked Carlos to marry him, and from there it just made sense. Carlos couldn't imagine spending his life with anyone else anyway. As their house came into view Carlos smiled. It had rows of windows in each room, even the closets had skylights. Jay had laughed when Carlos suggested it, then put them in anyway. Jay stopped at the black picket fence and pulled his fiance into a hug.

"I got a surprise for you."

"If you put your dick in a box again I will cut it off you." Carlos warned with a laugh.

"Nope, it's better than that. Close your eyes, I'll guide you."

"Better than your dick, hum that's a short list." Carlos joked.

Jay chuckled as he lead him to the garage, he flipped the lights on and faced him away from the car.

"You had one project on the Isle you never got to finish, it was also the one you spent the most time on." Jay watched Carlos brows furrow, he'd finished every project as far as he knew.

"Open your eyes."

Carlos did and Jay handed him the key, suddenly it all clicked, Jay watched his eyes widen, before gently spinning him around. Sitting in their garage was an El Camino, but this one was actually his.

"All your specs, all the hours of 'I want this', I listened. Ben and Diego helped me pull it together." Jay said

Carlos had left to walk around the car, it was pitch black with blood red interior. It was perfect, right down to the white paw prints that ran from bumper to bumper across the roof like a racing stripe.

Suddenly Jay was laying flat on the floor, he hadn't expected Carlos to literally jump him with joy.

"You. Are. Fucking. Amazing." Carlos said punctuating each word with a kiss.

"I try, there is one more thing."

"What the hell else could you manage?" Carlos looked at him.

"I talked to your mom. I know you never had a birthday before, so I asked her what your birth date was."

Carlos felt his jaw drop, he'd never found the guts to ask, sure it was important, but it wasn't a big deal. He'd lived his whole life without knowing the exact day of his birth, so he didn't want to make a big deal of it. His mom had a habit of crying anytime he asked 'simple' questions like that, right before she detailed exactly what she would do to Cruella if she was still alive.

"So when is it?" Carlos asked

"Happy birthday." jay told him with a kiss.

"You're kidding me right?" Carlos said.

"Nope, January 15th, the same day we rescued a whole Isle full of kids you turned fifteen. So today you're sixteen and can go get your permit to drive that car over there."

"That is fucking awesome!" Carlos cheered. "Not quite as awesome as you though." Carlos smiled before catching his fiances lips in another kiss.

A/N: That's all folks! No seriously, "and they lived happily ever after".
