Thank you all for your last reviews! Here's the 4th and last chapter of that mini story about Jenry and their domestic life haha. Thank you for following and I hope you enjoyed it.
On June 2025, Jo and Henry have been together for officially nine years and married for the past seven years which was currently Abbie's age.
They lived a happy life with their three daughters and they all grew up to be smart and lovely but they were divided like that : Abbie was physically looking more and more like Jo but got everything from her father, couldn't stop talking and way too smart that her teacher considered her to skip a class but Jo and Henry didn't want her to get lost with bigger children so for now they decided she would keep following her normal classes but eventually if Abbie was telling them she was bored they would ask the teacher to skip a class but only next year. Abbie would enter the 2nd grade in September.
Elena was five and also looked like Jo but we could see a bit more of Henry in her. She was smart but not as her sister, she was just the normal kid but was still a bit above average, Henry wasn't their father for nothing, though she really did get everything from Jo. She and Abbie were going along very well and were calling themselves best friends, they were now even sharing the same room and didn't mind at all.
Elena would enter the Kindergarten in September so she would be in the same school as her sister to her greatest pleasure.
Liv was 3 and so far she looked like both her parents and also got both their temper and really Henry nearly died a couple of times with so many women in that house. So she was talkative but also very active and was getting angry pretty much fast which she was hiding behind a beautiful innocent face. She was going along with both her sisters even the three of them were fighting from time to time.
While Jo and Henry were at the precinct, Abe always kept an eye on his sisters and he has been watching Liv recently but in September, Jo and Henry decided she would just be at the nursery, Abe deserved a break. He was now retired and his intern: Jacob, was now in charge of the shop even though Abe still got the benefits of it because it still belonged to him.
And things have changed quite a lot, even though their friends knew Henry's secret along with Abbie who didn't need a lot to understand but some people started to notice Henry wasn't changing at all even he kept dyeing his hair but this wasn't changing anything. Jo still kinda looked the same, she was pretty much young anyway but people started talking and Jo was the one suggesting that they should leave New York.
Henry didn't know what to think about it and he didn't want to impose himself but she assured him she would be fine with it, but they would have to wait the end of the school year
- also, not only the school year but I would like to give birth before traveling, that would be nicer but the baby is due in April so it's fine.
Henry raised a brow and just shrugged
- I'm not even surprised anymore
Jo laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck
- I know! We're making love really too much Henry
Henry just bit his lips and started teasing his wife, rubbing her belly
- hmm but you love it, right Mrs. Morgan
Jo moaned
- hmm, I do love it, doctor!
They started kissing, minding their own business and knowing they wouldn't keep standing a lot in that room until they heard
- yuuuuk
They jumped apart and both their three daughters were standing in the door frame along with Abe who was holding Liv on his arms.
Jo rolled her eyes
- really now? You did it again?
Abe pocked his tongue at her
- oh come on you two, the door was open, I wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't. It's hot and sunny and Abbie and Elena wanted to go to the pool and we wanted to know if you would like to come with us.
He walked toward the couple and whispered
- please say yes, because I won't be able to handle three girls. Liv is quiet for now but I'm afraid her mood is gonna switch later.
The toddler just gave him a look, Jo laughed and took her daughter and watched all that cute family. She leaned against her husband and said
- well, I guess we can all go to the pool, we all need it.
- yesss - Abbie and Elena jumped with excitement, hugging the other
Liv wanted to join the group hug and Jo put her down and she held her sisters around their waist. Jo nearly cried, this was too much for her hormones
- they are going to kill me again. Hopefully, this one is going to be a bit nicer.
Henry groaned
- hopefully, it's a boy too
Jo just glared at him and Abe frowned
- wait, you're pregnant again?
Jo just nodded, this became so usual that they weren't really minding it anymore.
Abe just rubbed his forehead and looked at his father
- dang! You two, you can't stop, can you?
- what can I say Abe, the immortal in me is doing his job very well and is planning his future.
Abe just made a face
- this is so gross.
Jo and Henry looked at each other and smiled. Abbie folded her arms and asked
- mom! Are you pregnant again?
Jo nodded
- yes, honey! I am.
She stared at her mother's womb
- but your belly isn't big
- not yet! But you know it will get there in a couple of months
- Oh ! That's true!
Henry looked at Jo and asked
- you said he or she was due in April, so it hasn't been long?
- yes! Just 6 weeks this time and to be honest, I'm also hoping it will be a boy because I love those three but they're really driving me crazy.
Henry couldn't agree more. He wrapped one arm behind his wife's back and kissed her forehead
- what should I say but I wouldn't change that for any gold in the world.
- neither would I!
Abe looked at them and dried a tear at the corner of his eye, he walked between them and wrapped his arms around them
- and I'm so happy to be surrounded by such a great and big family. After all this time Pops, you finally found your other half and look at what you two did together, those children are happy and they will grow up in a house full of love and I'm happy to be a part of it.
Abe considered staying in New York, he had great friends there but what would be the point to remain there if his father wasn't anymore and plus he loved his sisters more than everything in the world, well obviously he was more like a grandpa to them but they all were bonded and he knew he wanted to enjoy his retirement next to them because he knew he wouldn't last to see Abbie going to college someday, he wasn't sure if he would last when she'll be heading to high school so better enjoyed when he could.
Jo must have read his thoughts
- you know Abe, the girls love you and we do too, instead of staying here in New York, why don't you come with us in London? I know you have friends but we know those three would be missing you and I'm pretty sure Henry would feel better to have you around
Abe looked at the couple and his father just smiled
- I don't want to impose myself
- oh, nonsense Abraham! I'm the one who've been living with you before meeting Jo so now it's only perfectly natural to keep you with us.
- well in that case! I'll be glad to join the trip over the Atlantic! I'll ask Jacob to keep the shop running, he'll do a great job! Thank you
He hugged both of them and soon enough the three girls joined them, three adults for three girls they all found their spot in someone's arms.
So here they were, it was the beginning of the summer and little Sean had come in the world April 2nd, he could have been an April's fool, Henry even thought it was when Jo told him her water broke.
He was now two months old and was a healthy little boy but life would probably be harder surrounded with so many women but his sisters were all happy to have a little brother and Henry couldn't be happier to finally have another son.
The whole family made the trip to London where they were going to live for a couple of years for sure. Jo got a raise and she has been lieutenant at the 11th for the past three years, right after Liv's birth, Reece was still around but she knew Jo would do a good job with that precinct and she truly did, and now in London she would have the Sergeant grade and would have her own team. Just like her kids, she would be starting in September to take care of her son and have the summer to discover London and spend time with her family.
Henry has decided to go back to being a doctor, at that point in his life, no one should come looking for troubles and get killed in front of him, he would learn to stay put in his office. He would be missing working on the field with his wife but at least they would be working at the same police station because he has been assigned to be the officers' doctor and would be there to health the injuries minor or major ones. Jo had warned her boss that her husband should sometimes assist in the murder's cases because he was very good at it. Henry wanted to go back to being a doctor, mostly because he had now four kids and it would be dealing with a lot of flu and fever and everything children were getting through his parenthood.
As a doctor, Henry would be starting the following week, so like his wife, he would have time to get accommodated with the city even he knew most of it but London had changed quite a lot since the last time he was around which was a very long time ago now.
Henry had bought a propriety in Chelsea, one of the most expensive neighborhood but with Henry's funds, they wouldn't mind living there at all.
They were exiting the cab, all three girls behind the other, Abe following closed behind them and then Henry helping Jo out with Sean in her arms.
There was a garden surrounding the house and the girls were already running on it, so happy to finally have some place to play. Abe was carefully watching over them. Jo stood frozen looking at the house while she rocked her baby in her arms, she felt emotional and felt Henry's arms wrapping around her waist, holding Sean's tiny hands
- I have to say I'm going to miss living in New York, I've been in America all my life but I guess I can get used to this, that's all we needed to raise our four heads in peace.
Henry agreed
- trust me it is as weird for me to get back where I grew up but I'm confident our children will be happy here and we will be there to watch every step they make.
Sean started fussing so Henry took him and held him over his shoulder
- there-there my boy! I know life isn't going to be easy next to four women but we will make it
He felt his wife propping her elbow on his arm
- be careful with what you say, you don't want to innovate the couch yet tonight.
Henry just winked at her and she melted, wondering if they were going to get busy and make more babies. Just thinking about it, she made a face, four children were enough now and this was more than she ever expected.
She just smiled looking at the picture in front of her, they were everything to her and as long as she would be alive she would make her husband happy.
Abbie, Elena, and Liv were already in the house along with Abe and Jo and Henry walked behind and Liv ran back to them, all smiles
- house is so biiig!
Abbie and Elena ran back with the same glowing face
- oh my god mom, dad, that house is amazing - Abbie could hardly hide her excitement - I hope we are going to stay here for a while.
Elena agreed
- we are going to play a lot of hide and seek together and later with Sean when he'll be bigger.
The three girls screamed with joy and ran back to keep their tour of the house. Henry yelled
- be careful on the stairs you three
- and please stop screaming like that too - Jo added
Abbie climbed down the stairs and held Abe by the hand
- come on Abe! Come with us and we can start playing
Abe shared a look with Jo and Henry asking for some help but none of them moved
- Abbie, I'm too old for that, you don't want me to be stuck.
Abbie rolled her eyes
- you're not old, come here! Liv is counting and she can't count so you can hide me somewhere safe
Before anyone could say something, Elena joined her sister and was making a weird face. Jo knew that face.
- huh.. Liv locked herself in the closet because she didn't want to count and now she can't get out and I think she is breaking some things on it.
Henry was about to go but Jo stopped him
- it's fine honey! Let me take care of that, you know Liv is a tough one when she wants to. This is promising.
She climbed the stairs and ended up playing with her kids because they all jumped on her when she went to release Liv from the closet, when everyone was messing around on the carpet, not letting Jo breathe, Henry joined all of them with Sean on his arms and that day Abe snapped the perfect picture of what a happy family looked like.
Authors's note : you probably noticed Jo and Henry naming Abbie after Abigail and of course at Jo's request, they decided to name their son after her late husband ;)
