AN: this is the last chapter and i want to thank everyon who has reviewed and left comments. Unsure what is next for me. So many stories that I have floating around in my head. Love to hear some suggestions.
Ch 20
"Evan Bradley Morgan get over here" I yell.
"What mama" he says walking over innocently.
"We have to meet everyone in a half hour and you look like you have been rolling in mud pies" I state clearly upset at him.
"Love you know getting upset is not good for you or the twins" Finn says walking up.
"Ugh not you too, what the hell have you been doing" I scolded my husband of 8 years. We had Evan Bradley first; our little boy who Finn consistently says acts exactly like his brother. He just turned 8.
"They were playing with the quads mommy" Ella says and I look at Finn.
"Tattle tale" Evan mumbles.
"No, your sister is just helping mommy by watching the two of you. Now march up those steps and get cleaned up now the both of you" I yell at Evan and Finn.
"Sorry" they both mumble but head up.
"Never get married kid" I say to Ella who is a spitting image of Mom. She's 5 and so smart.
"Don't worry mommy, Grams says that no man is worth this" she says picking up her book and sitting on the porch swing. My mother and her views on men. I just shake my head.
"Hey Gilmore" Colin states as we enter the park. It's a private land behind Logan's Hartford house about 8 miles out. It also where Rosemary buried. The park connects to the back of the Hartford cemetery where all the family burial sites are.
"Sorry we're late, blame the boys" I state hugging him.
"Haven't you dropped those kids yet Ace" Logan laughs.
"No, trust me I want these two out more than anyone" I say carefully sitting down on the bench.
"Where's Adam" I question him and he points to soccer flied where Evan ran off to.
"He looks so much like her" I smile. Adam may look like Rosemary, but he is all his father.
"I know" Logan says and I squeeze his hand.
"Not hitting on my wife are you mate" Finn laughs coming up with Ella.
"Well don't you look pretty" Logan smirks as my husband has a pink boa on his neck.
"Ella says its matches my eyes" Finn says and Ella shakes her head.
"He's delusional" she says and Colin and Logan look at me.
"Delusional at 5" Colin questions.
"She gets that from you Ace" Logan laughs.
"They are taken to reading the dictionary when Ella gets stuck on a word in her books" Finn says sitting behind me and rubbing my shoulders.
"But she is right, you're delusional" I joke.
"But you still married him" Steph says walking over with Jasper and Joshua; they are 8, twins and Jaclyn who is one on her hip. They spot the boys on the field and take off.
"I know, it was the accent, I tell you" I joke and Finn kisses my shoulder.
"I was going to walk over, want some help up preggers" Steph questions handing Colin Jackie and I smile. There is a path that connects the park to the cemetery. We usually walk over alone. It's what we have been doing for the last 7 years.
"I swear this is the last time" I say and they all laugh.
"You said that after Evan and Ella" Logan reminds me and I stick my tongue out before walking with Steph.
"Hey Rose" we say reaching the tombstone.
"It's been another year and as you can see RG is going to pop more kids out. I swear Finn's like the energizer bunny" Steph jokes.
"Not my fault at all I assure you" I add and we laugh. "Logan is doing well; he's such a great dad Rosie. He loves Adam so much. It's the one gift that gave him that will always make him happy" I say wiping a tear away.
"I still think you're foolish for sacrificing yourself like that" Steph says and we squeeze each other's hands.
"I warned you in Australia not to fall for him. That he will make your heart expand and you will lose yourself within it, but of course you didn't listen" I say looking back to see the boys and kids coming closer.
"He met someone Rose and I know he'll tell you about her, but we like her. She's good for him. Checks is ego, refuses to let him control her and she adores Adam. Her name is Kylie Montgomery; she's a PR executive at my work. And no I didn't set them up. They met at a function" I tell her
"She' a great girl Rose, you would like her. She fits in with the group and Logan seems smitten with her. He tries to deny it but we see it" Steph adds.
"I think it's about time, he found someone" Adam says coming to stand with us. "Hey Mom, listen I know Dad loves you and you're my mom and all but we need a woman around. Have you seen Dad's organization, it's horrible. Aunt Rory tries to help but they seem to do nothing but fight. Uncle Finn says that normal. I still say they dated but no one will tell me. I like Kylie Mom; she's nice and loves baseball and soccer. So I know Dad is trying to not show it, but he likes her too, if you can tell him that it's okay, I bet he'll be okay with it finally" Adam says placing the roses on the ground.
"That was impressive kiddo" I say kissing the top of his head.
"Your mother would be so proud of you" Steph says as the boys come up. "What did he do?" Logan says and we smile.
"We can't say it's between the four of us" I smile at him.
"Why don't we leave you three alone" Steph say and I nod.
"Ace" Logan calls back to me and I look at him.
"I think your water finally broke" he says and I look down, all the grass is wet.
"Crap" I yell as the contraction hits.
***********
"What did you say kid" Logan questions Adam as we're sitting in the room. I just had the twins. Emma Rose and Camden James.
"You don't have to tell him" I say looking at Adam.
"I'm not Aunt Rory" Adam says as someone knocks.
"Room for one more" Kylie questions.
"Sure K, come on in" Finn smiles. He likes her. He knows that she's good for Logan.
"These are from the office, I thought I would deliver them personally, give me a reason to leave work early" she says.
"Thanks" I say smiling. She looks at the babies with Finn and I look over at Logan.
"No Ace" he says and I smirk. "Ace" he states and I look at Adam who winks at me.
"You know what they say about being blind about what is in front of you Huntz" I question and she shakes his head. "That you need to get new friends" he says coyly.
"No Dad, that you need glasses. Go ask Kylie out" Adam says and Logan looks between us.
"Tag teaming me with Aunt Rory isn't fair kid" Logan smirks at me.
"He's right Logan. Be happy. She's great for you" I say and he leans down kissing my forehead.
"What are you my guardian angel or something Ace" he whispers.
"No, but she did make me have the babies finally and gave you the perfect opportunity to act on what has been brewing in your head for weeks" I say winking at Adam.
"She would want you to be happy mate" Finn says walking over to me with Camden.
"She would" he says smiling at us.
"Now go" I smile as he walks over to Kylie.
"That was a good thing love" Finn says and I nod.
"We all deserve love Finn no matter how many twists or turns we hit" I smile at him and he kisses me.
"What did I do to get so lucky to have to my kitten?" he questions and I giggle.
"You were always there Finn, even when I didn't realize it. You were always there" I say.
"And to think, we could have more kids if you only chose me at the Yale Male social all those years ago" he jokes and I slap his arm.
"But I love you now and forever" I say and he kisses me softly.
"That's all that matters love" he says.
