WARNING: TIME JUMPING! Babies! Teenagers! Eli look alikes! KC look alikes! Being a pretender!
The Pretenders Epilogue: (Clare's POV)
20 Years Later:
It's been exactly twenty years since I've graduated from Degrassi Community School. I sighed heavily as I scrubbed the food off the white plate. I flicked the water off my fingertips and grabbed the silver emerald ring off the window ledge. I slipped the ring onto my finger and smiled. I still remember how Eli was sweating buckets asking me to be his wife. When I finally agreed, I'd made a man very happy. We had decided to wait after college to finally wed. I glanced at the picture of our wedding on the wall. Eli had his signature blazer and combat boots on, his arms around my waist. I was wearing a long blue dress due to his preference to blue over white. I had my hair curled as usual a blue rose was held in my reddish brown curls. I was also carrying a large blue bouquet of roses, I still smile remembering when I through the bouquet behind me, Alli had caught it. Not so surprising after that Dave proposed to Alli. I glanced at the next picture of Dave and Alli with their two sons. Zachary and Ian. Zachary was a carbon copy of Dave, he was about to be a sophomore at Degrassi, hard to believe he's only fifteen. Ian takes after Alli's looks, but has Dave's outgoing personality, He's entering freshmen year. Dave and Alli they were happy together, to be honest Alli wouldn't be happy if she married Drew, last I heard of him was at the reunion which he attended with his wife who graduated in my year. They live in Vancouver with no children. Coming up was me and Alli's 24 years of friendship anniversary and like every time we'll watch The Twilight Saga like always. I proceeded to the next picture which was Adam and Fiona with their twin daughters. Yes, Adam was now officially a man, thanks to Fiona he was able to go through gender surgeries to become an official man. I stared at their twin daughters, Victoire and Yvonne. Fiona was allowed to pick names and of course she chooses the elite and rich names. Victoire the eldest of the twins was like Fiona in looks and personality, always on shopping sprees and having the most gorgeous clothes, while Yvonne was her polar opposite tending to wear the darker of clothes, but her clothes were the richer dark clothes. Both were starting their Junior year at sixteen. The picture following the one of Adam and Fiona was Jenna, Bethany and Daniel. Jenna was still a pop classic and was just as famous and singing like no tomorrow, Daniel was her husband and they've been together for five years, no children yet. Bethany was following Jenna's steps and is into the music career, she's only twenty two, on special occasions they'll fly down for Christmas and summer fun. Looking at Bethany's picture made me think of KC.. KC. I heard at the ten year reunion they released him six years before and kept Fitz in there for life. As from hearing from KC's old friends he's in Canada and married a girl named Jess and they have two kids who resemble KC greatly. Of course they're was the pictures of Declan and Holly J with their only daughter Jeanette named after Holly J's middle name. I heard from Fiona that when Holly J was passed out of drugs after birth, Declan named her to see how Holly J would react. Her reaction was supposed to be priceless, since she screamed at Declan. Then Sav and Anya were also in the picture with their son and daughter. Their son Dominic had graduated was at college, their daughter Lyla, was entering her senior year with Jeanette, both at seventeen. I sighed heavily looking at the numerous faces of my classmates and best friends. "This is so hard!" Someone yelped. I turned around quickly and flitted to the entry of the living room. Julia Goldsworthy sat on the couch with her father, my husband Eli. "Your just getting aggravated. Take it slow Jules. You'll learn." Eli crooned. I leaned against the doorframe and watched as Eli tried teaching Julia how to play the guitar. Julia's long chocolate brown which was layered heavily was falling past her face, she quickly tucked a strand behind her ear showing off her gages in her ears. After pleading and begging I had given into her getting them. "Now just strum lightly." Eli instructed his hands on hers trying to teach her. Julia's emeralds shined as she made a beautiful sound from the guitar. "I did it! Dad I did it!" Julia exclaimed with a large lopsided smile. "I knew you would Jules." Eli said proudly. "Tell your mother." Eli than pointed to me and I blushed. Julia turned towards me. "Did you see that Mom?" Julia exclaimed. I nodded and smiled at Julia's excitement. "I have to call Yvonne and tell her!" Julia than bolted up the stairs loudly in her combat boots rushing to her room. I sighed and sat next to Eli. "She's like you more and more with each day." I said. Eli nodded. "I can't believe she's sixteen and she's going to be a Junior. Damn I'm not ready Clare." Eli admitted. I smiled and pecked his cheek. "She's like her father. She's ready for anything." I whispered. Eli looked at me with the same old emeralds that had deep love for me. "Mom? Have you seen my practice math workbook? I need to practice for my advanced math class for freshman year!" Willow exclaimed. I looked up to see what looked like looking in a mirror. Willow's round face holding exasperation as she desired to work. Much like me. Her ocean eyes sparkling in the dim light. Her chest long chocolate brown hair twisted in a braid. "I think I saw it under your bed Willow." I told her. Willow nodded and bolted for the stairs. "Two daughters at Degrassi. How will we manage Clare?" Eli asked looking at me. I smiled. "Just like any normal parent does, we help our children." Eli smiled and pecked my lips. I could feel the electricity like volts through our bodies. We were so in sync with each other that the outside world was nothing to us. "Bleh! That's gross." A small voice said. I turned to see Bentley staring at us with piercing blue eyes like my own, only a shade lighter. His reddish brown hair around his face as he clutched at a teddy bear. "Sorry Bent." Eli apologized pulling the eight year old onto his lap. Bentley immediately nuzzling into Eli's chest and yawning loudly. "Bedtime for Bents." Eli murmured. "I'll be back." Eli muttered to me while carrying Bentley up the stairs. The doorbell rang loudly through the house, I bounced up to answer, but Julia stomped down the stairs with her headphones around her neck blasting loud metal music. "I got it!" Julia yelled. Julia opened the door to see Yvonne there. "Y!" Julia shouted and wrapped her arms around Yvonne. I smiled at Yvonne as she entered the house, her brown curls in a pony tail at the nape of her neck, she arrived in a tight black shirt and a tight black skirt that looks like velvet. "Hope you don't mind that I brought someone along." Yvonne informed Julia. "That's cool. That okay Mom?" Julia asked loudly looking at me. I nodded and was about to grab a book when I saw my worst nightmare walk in the house. His brown eyes shining widely, his brown hair sticking out underneath the grey beanie. The face was so familiar that I stood up and approached the teenagers, I could hear Eli bounding down the stairs as well. "What's-" Eli didn't finish as he saw what I saw. Eli quickly stepped to my side, holding my hand in his tightly. "Jules. This is Teddy. Teddy Guthrie."
"I can't believe that KC's son stepped foot into our home." Eli snarled. I sighed heavily. "They're just downstairs and I highly doubt Teddy will be anything like KC." I informed an angry Eli. Eli rolled his eyes. "Yeah right. They look alike so they must act alike." Eli commented. I sat by Eli's angry figure and kissed the nape of his neck. "Calm down Eli. Just relax." I soothed in his ear. Eli closed his eyes and after a couple of minutes I could him relax next to me. His head leaning onto my shoulder. "Why are you pretending that there's nothing wrong with Teddy?" Eli asked softly. "I'm not pretending. Haven't you noticed Eli?" I questioned. Eli's brows raised. "Noticed what?" I giggled. "We no longer pretend. We don't pretend that we love each other. That love is true and real. We don't pretend anymore." I explained. "What are you getting at Clare?" Eli quipped. I smirked as best as a Goldsworthy wife could. "We're no longer The Pretenders."
