So, I'm still working on the epilogue. I know, I know. But to tide you guys over, I have super mini chapters. Each week, I'll post one until the epilogue is done. They're like, silly missing moments up to the epilogue. Yes, I know it's unconventional. But that's how I roll. And I also know they're super mini chapters. That's also how I roll. ;)

Shades of Green - Chapter 38.1

BPOV

October, 2014

"What are you gonna be for Halloween, Audrey?"

Audrey jutted her hip out and put her hand on it, tapping her chin with the pointer finger of her other hand and squinting her bright green eyes, "Ariel!"

Edward chuckled from behind the video camera, "Why?"

"Because she has red hair and I got red hair and we're both princesseses and love ta swim and sing songs that are pretty!" Audrey said enthusiastically.

"You both have red hair," Edward corrected from behind the camera.

"That's what I said, Daddy!"

"And what is Daddy gonna be for Halloween?"

"King Triton! He's Ariel's Daddy like you're my Daddy!" she shouted after a second of 'thinking', but she had been repeating this since July so we knew that she knew exactly what she had up her sleeve.

"And Mia?"

"Flounder cause she's ascared of everything and never wants the light off," Audrey said, stomping her foot like it was some great injustice that her little sister, who she didn't share a room with, was afraid of the dark.

"What about Masen?"

"Sebastian cause he always tattles to Mama or Nana or Nene!"

"And last, but not least… what's Mama gonna be?" Edward said, unable to keep from laughing at the answer that he knew was coming. I bit my lip to refrain from smiling, standing next to him and watching our ham of a daughter do what she loved best, perform in front of a camera.

"The blowfish!" Audrey shrieked, laughing.

Edward chuckled, "Why the blowfish?"

"Because he got all big and puffy, just like Mama's tummy!"

Edward pointed the camera at me and zoomed in on my huge, pregnant stomach then panned out to my face. "So, Mama. How do you feel about the fact that your four year old has compared you to a blowfish?"

"I'll feel pretty good about it if I shrink back to my normal size as fast as a blowfish does once this baby comes," I joked, laughing.

Edward turned the camera back to Audrey.

"What's the baby gonna be if she's born before Halloween?"

Audrey was truly stumped by this question and stared at her father blankly, like he was crazy to suggest such a thing, before turning and running out of the room. Yes, Audrey, the thought of this baby coming that soon was rather frightening.

…

Next up: Thanksgiving. Will Baby Cullen number four be a boy or a girl? Guesses on names? What inappropriate comments will Edward make in front of his little ones? Turn in next week… (yes, it's a soap opera now)

And a very special thanks to Angel, who put an end to my indecisiveness and told me what to do.
