4 Months Later

"C'mon, mom! C'mon!" Declan exclaimed.

"Shut up, I'm coming," Emily teased, "I am dealing with your sister's pee, unless of course, you'd like to deal with it?"

"Sorry! I'll go get the popcorn!" Declan said quickly, running away. Emily chuckled to herself, as she finished with Jennifer's diaper.

"There you go, sweet heart," Emily whispered to the giddy baby, who was giggling and gurgling, with a cute baby grin on her face.

"You are perfect," Emily murmured, kissing her baby feet, and tiny hands, and her precious forehead. She picked her daughter up, and held her close in her arms for a moment, taking in her scent.

"I love you," Emily whispered to the baby, who replied with a tiny hiccup followed by another giggle.

"Can I pick the movie this time?" Declan begged.

"Hmmm, I don't know," Riley teased, "Is it gonna be a good one?"

"Well what's a good one?" Declan countered, "Every movie you pick is full of dirty jokes that mom covers my ears for, or kissing and gross stuff like that!"

"And all your movies are guns and fighting and explosions. Haven't you had enough of that for one child hood?" Riley joked.

"You can never have enough Spiderman and Batman and Superman, Riley," Declan said seriously, "They're awesome."

"How about the Hulk?" Emily called as she walked down the stairs.

"Edward Norton and Liv Tyler hookup and the Hulk smashes things. Can you both live with that?" Emily asked entering the room.

"Deal," Riley and Declan said smiling. Declan put the movie in, and the four of them curled up on the couch together.

.oOo.

The movie was half over when Emily realized all of her children were asleep. She smiled at the sight of her baby asleep in her arms, Riley's head on her shoulder and Declan curled up next to Riley.

"I love you guys," Emily whispered to her kids quietly. Then she looked up at the ceiling and whispered, "Thank you." She didn't know who it was to. Was to Ian? To God? She didn't know. All that she knew was that she had three beautiful children, who she would never let go of ever again.
