Epilogue – Seven Years Later

Allie, Emily, and Noah laughed and giggled as they flew their kite by the beach. Noah has just turned seven years old and Emily was five years old. Allie was already fourteen and though she was getting older, she still had a spirit of a five-year-old. Noah had green eyes like his father and Emily had blue eyes like their grandmother. They both had the same brown hair, but Emily's was a lighter shade. They turned their heads hearing someone shouting their names.

"Daddy, hury before the kite leaves!" shouted Emily.

Bruce ran towards his children and laughed. "That's it guys! Keep the kite steady." He laughed. "Just like his old man," he said, kissing Noah on the head. "See it's very easy. All you have to do is run and keep the kite from falling. That's how you accomplish your dreams and fight for them so it will slip away from you."

"Bruce!" yelled Lily, running towards them. He smiled seeing his wife. She gained all her weight after she had the kids. She wasn't the stunning beauty that she was before, but she will always be beautiful in his eyes. "I've been looking for you throughout this beach! Where were you hiding?" She asked out of breath. "We have to go to the party!"

Bruce chuckled. "If it were up to me, I'll go, but you have to convince your kids."

"Just a bit longer, please, Mama," said Noah.

"Say yes, Mama. I want to play with the kite more!" whined Emily.

"But you've been doing that all day, sweetheart. Look at your faces! You're going to get sunburn," said Lily, cupping her daughters' faces. "And you too, Noah. Don't you guys want to go to the party?"

"Yeah, but we want to play, too," said Noah. He, Allie, and Emily took off running into the water.

"Where are you going?!" cried Lily. Her eyes widened seeing her children going into the water.

"Calm down, Beautiful. Nothing is going to happen to them," said Bruce.

"But, they're going directly to the water!"

"No, look see, Allie isn't letting them go too deep into the water." Lily sighed, seeing her oldest daughter pull her then out, so they could just splash their feet.

"Damn it, these kids are going to give me a heart attack," said Lily, clutching her chest. Bruce laughed and kissed her cheek. Lily slapped him playfully. "It's not funny."

"You worry for the littlest things, Beautiful."

"Yeah, and if I didn't then who will?"


Old friends sat around Bruce's beach house. They all laughed while their kids played in the sand, making sand castles. Sarah and Dave had three kids, two boys and a girl, and one along the way. Diana and Derek already have five, three girls and two boys, and have hopefully stopped there. Lorena and Robert adopted a six-year-old boy and are on the works of adopting another. Cynthia and Alex only had one girl, but are trying to make another.


Lily looked at Bruce and smiled. They were finally happy and worry-free, though she still worried when he goes out at night as Batman.

"I could fight the world if you're there by my side, Lily," he whispered into her ear. Lily smiled as she lay on yacht, looking at the sunset. "You showed me how to love. This love that is eternal. You gave me the strength and reason to live, not just as Batman or Bruce Wayne head of Wayne Enterprises to be just Bruce."

Lily sighed happily. "I don't know. I feel like I could have given you more."

"What? More? What more can you give me than what you already given."

"I'm serious. Wouldn't you want me to be," she said, getting up, "Belinda Rose again?" making a pose.

"What? That crazy, bitter woman that only made my life a living hell?" He got up and pulled her to him, making her giggle. "I want you like this. My beautiful bell," he said, kissing her.

Lily laughed. "I'm serious. I can do a diet and exercise is always good for you…" She was cut by his lips again.

"What kind of exercise," he said, huskily.

"Bruce," she squeaked as he pulled her down again, lying on the small bed.

"Listen to me, I love you like this, Beautiful. You're my beautiful flower." Lily smiled and cupped his face, tracing his lips. They let their love consume with all the passion in the world.
