Epilogue
A couple months later, Luke, his friends, and the professor went to a park. Luke and his friends were on their summer holiday. When Luke saw John, his wife, a baby in a stroller, Collin, his wife, and five babies in strollers, he called over to them.
"Hey!" He called, and ran over to them. Professor Layton, Arianna, and Flora all went with him. The new families saw them, and all the parents smiled.
"Hey; we haven't seen you all in a while." Collin said. "How are you all doing?"
"Good!" The kids all answered. He looked at the professor.
"And how are you doing?"
"I'm doing good." The professor replied.
"That's good." He looked at the kids. "So, my brother told me that you solved the mystery."
"Yeah." Luke answered.
"And I heard you all got in some trouble; did you all learn your lesson?"
"Yeah!" The kids answered.
"We're still doing community service." Flora added. "But frankly, I think that's not at all a punishment, I think it's good to do good. It's better then jail by far." Collin nodded.
"I agree. It's better to do good, then to do bad." Luke then gestured towards the five babies.
"Are these the quintuplets?" He wanted to know?"
"They sure are!" Pam answered. The kids marveled at the cooing babies. "Finn, Devin, Riley, Sylvie, and Mae."
"Awe; they're so cuuutttteeeeee!" Flora marveled.
"All babies are!" Arianna agreed. "It's hard to imagine that some can grow up as terrible, human beings. But, I'm sure these babies will grow up doing well. They might grow up to be famous, and have their names in the future history books!" Collin and Pam chucked.
"A parent can only hope." She stated. "But no matter what they do in life; they'll make us proud." Luke then noticed the sixth baby. He turned to John.
"Is this your baby?" He asked.
"He sure is!" John told him. "You can hold him if you want." Luke was shocked.
"Can I?" John nodded. Luke beamed.
"Wow!" He then looked at the professor. Layton nodded. Luke cheered, and sat on the bench. Mary unstrapped her son from his stroller, and gave him to Luke.
"Here you go." She said. Luke looked down at the baby and grinned.
"Hi; baby!" He greeted. "I'm Luke!" He looked at the parents. "What's his name?"
"Luke." John answered. Luke couldn't believe it.
"Really?!" John nodded.
"My husband wanted to name him after you." Mary explained. "He asked me for my permission, and I agreed, I liked the name Luke."
"Wow; what an honor!" Luke looked at the Luke in his arms. "Do you like your name, Luke?" The little Luke cooed happily. The big Luke smiled.
"I do too."
"Have you ever held a baby before?" Mary asked the Luke holding her baby.
"Yeah." Luke answered. "My cousins, and the babies I babysit for. But, I always like to hold babies."
"Me too." Arianna put in.
"Who doesn't?" Flora chipped in as well. "Everyone likes babies!" The adults chuckled. Luke looked at John.
"So, are you and your wife going to have any more?"
"Whoa!" John said. "Let's not get carried away. And yes, I'd like to have more kids but I think one and an uncle of five is plenty enough right now."
"Yeah." Flora agreed. "I guess that's enough." John looked at Layton.
"Do you want to hold our little Luke?" The professor nodded.
"I'll be happy too."
After they all had turns holding little Luke, and the other babies, the adults all watched and their kids all watched the older kids play on the playground. A half hour later, they all said their goodbyes, and went their separate ways.
Luke was proud of John and Mary, He was also proud of Collin and his wife. He knew that they'll all make great parents, and little Luke, and the quintuplets will grow up and do their parents proud, just like he will for his parents. For he knew, all kids in the whole world has the power to change the world.
