Here we go with the last part of this story. It takes place a few years after the last chapter. This was probably my favorite chapter to write out, and like always, I hope you guys like it. I know you might be tired of my ranting from the last two chapters, but I left a note at the end… again. See you guys later!

Epilogue

"We need to hurry! We are going to be late!"

Luxa rushed over to face the giant mirror in her bedroom. She would be wearing the beautiful diamond earrings from last year's anniversary. They were absolutely gorgeous, but they were a pain to put on.

"Relax. We still have time."

Gregor was at her side, having been standing in front of the mirror already.

"Perhaps you have time. But I do not," she responded, slightly annoyed.

"Are the kids ready?"

Luxa made a noise in the back of her throat. "No, that is why we need to hurry. You know how difficult they can be."

He smiled. "I wonder where they get that from."

Luxa shot him a glance but smiled as well. She finished with one earring and moved on to the second one. "Seriously, though. They need to be ready soon."

Gregor knew she was right and sighed.

"Hamnet!" he called out.

There was a soft patter of feet as a small boy came running into the room.

"Yes?"

"Are you ready?"

"Yes! I'm all ready!"

"Good. Where's your sister?" asked Gregor.

"I don't know," said the boy. He turned back to the direction he had come from and called for his sibling. "Judy!"

A short moment later, a girl came skipping into the room, chewing on a small slice of melon.

"Judith!" cried Luxa. "You will stain your clothes!"

"No I won't. I'm careful."

Luxa didn't take her word for it and took the half eaten slice from her daughter's hands. She carefully placed it on the counter for the time being, making sure not to stain the numerous trophies her husband had won when they were kids. After she found a safe place for it, she turned back to the children.

"Wash your hands. Both of you."

"Tag! You're it!" said Judy, tapping her brother on the shoulder and running off. The boy quickly left after her, leaving Luxa and Gregor alone once more.

Gregor smiled when he thought of how lucky he was to have them. Neither he nor Luxa had thought about two children, and they were both surprised when they found out she was expecting twins. Apparently, twins ran in Luxa's family, as her mother had also been a twin.

After finishing with his tie, Gregor turned to his wife and put his arms around her.

"You need to relax," he told her, rubbing her neck and shoulders gently. "You feel a little tense."

Luxa finished with her earring and turned to face him, placing her arms around his neck. "Should I not be?" she said. "I mean, this a big deal. It is our high school reunion."

"I personally don't think it's a big deal. You're just making it one."

"It has been ten years."

"So? Ten years isn't that long."

"I know," she sighed. "It has just been so long since we saw them."

"But it's not like we haven't talked to them. Sometimes, a phone call is all that's possible when you live so far away." He smiled at her. "It'll be fun. There's a lot of people that we'll get to see."

Luxa smiled for a moment before her face became serious. "And there will be some that we will not see at all," she whispered.

Gregor frowned slightly and pulled Luxa in for a hug. Of course Henry would come up on a day like this. Just the memory of him caused Luxa pain.

After serving his two year sentence, Henry had been released from the juvenile prison, only to stay with Gorger. Two years proved to be too little to get away from his addiction, and Henry couldn't stay away from that life.

One day, while running from the police in a vehicle pursuit with Gorger, the car they were in took a turn too quickly and fell into ditch. They had lost control of the car, and it fell off a bridge after crashing through the side railing. Both Gorger and Henry had fallen to their deaths on the rocks below.

It always made Gregor think of Ares' words when they had established their friendship, but he tried not feeling guilty. Henry had made his choice, and despite the attempts to help him, no one could change his mind.

Trying to cheer her up, Gregor smiled and looked down at her outfit. "You look as beautiful as always, your grace."

She gave him an eye roll but smiled back, leaning up slightly to plant a peck on his lips.

"We will get to see Lizzie," said Luxa, pushing past the previous topic. "We have not seen her since the wedding."

"Maybe we'll get to see Lizzie," he corrected her. "Hopefully her schedule doesn't keep her from stopping by for a bit."

Lizzie worked for the government. She had been recruited right after high school due to her unbelievably high grades. She turned out to be quite important to the military, working with counter intelligence as a code breaker. While working there, Lizzie had met a man named Hazard, who was fluent in almost any language one could think of. Together, they cracked codes all over the world, using grammar structures from languages and number sequences to break them.

Since the country wasn't in need of them at the moment, they carried on normal lives. After getting married, Hazard became a deep jungle explorer while Lizzie became a professional chess player. They had a house in Europe, but she said that she and Hazard might be called in by the government to work on something. If that happened, they wouldn't be able to make it. If they didn't get called in, then Gregor would get to see his sister for the first time in years.

"Let us hope," said Luxa. "I would really like to see her."

"Me too."

Luxa lifted her up to look at him suddenly, as if remembering something. "Did you know Aurora is pregnant again?"

"Really? Is Nike not enough? She's quite the handful."

"She told me that she discussed it with Ares and they had decided to have another child. They even have the name picked out already."

"Do they?" said Gregor, not really paying attention to the conversation anymore. At the moment, he was far more interested in Luxa. He leaned his head forward a bit and began kissing her neck softly, causing her to giggle.

"Yes they do," replied Luxa, still laughing. "If it is a girl, they will name her Thalia. If it is a boy, they will name him Chronos."

"Just tell them to be ready," said Gregor. "More than one kid is complicated. Two kids are enough."

A loud crash came from somewhere in the house, causing both Luxa and Gregor to look towards the door that led to the hallway. The noise was immediately followed by yells from the twins that claimed it was the other's fault.

Gregor shook his head slightly and laughed to himself.

Yea, two kids were definitely enough.

A/N- Chronos, as many of you know, was the name of Gregor's bond in Tytonic's story, 'Gregor and the War of the Myriapods.' Including that name in this story was my way of showing my gratitude and honoring his first fanfiction. It was an awesome work, and it's what drew my attention back to the Underland Chronicles. I wanted to thank him for choosing me to continue this story. I had way more fun writing than I ever thought I would have.

Next, I have to thank all of you guys. The support has been amazing, and I hope you guys know that you're awesome. Thanks for all the time you took to read the chapters I wrote and for leaving a review. Those made me laugh most of the time. Again, thanks for everything. It's been a fun ride.

Well, I must admit, that was amazing. Plus the entire story in general is amazing. Look it up in the dictionary; under amazing the URL for this story will be listed. Well, right underneath a picture of SkyChip, that is.

Honestly, I feel kind of guilty that this is on my account while Sky wrote it. But alas, he insisted that it remain on my account. I might convince him to have the upcoming story on his account instead.

We are making a new story, but it will not be a sequel. As nice as a sequel might be, we've got a few other things in line. We have a few likely concepts, but we have chosen one yet. I can't give you guys any more detail than that, sorry. But just keep your eyes peeled, because it should come in around a week or so.

So, this has been an amazing time for me, and I am glad that I can continue to work with Sky to provide for the rest of you!

Have a nice day,

-Tytonic
