3 Years Later
She stood at the balcony, looking at the horizon waiting. She felt a tug on her dress and she looked down. "Aiden," she said, smiling. "Serena and Damian are trying to tie me to the chair again…" he said. Julia rolled her eyes. "Just like their father…you know what they say about twins these days…" she said, smiling slightly. She looked down at the one year old baby boy that stood at her side.
She stroked his hair, and smiled at him. He missed his father. All of them did. She and Cain had gotten married a few months after the tragedy of Paxton. They had the two three year old twins, Serena and Damian and the one year old boy, Sean. Cain had to go off to war a few months after he was born, and he had been away for a year with Glitch and a bunch of other men.
Rodney and Glitch had a three year old boy, Alex and a two year old girl, Cassandra. They had gotten married about seven months after the incident with Paxton. Rodney joined her sister on the balcony, her girl in her arm, sitting on her hip. Her boy was holding her hand. "See anything?" Rodney asked.
Julia turned to face the horizon. She squinted as she saw shadows approaching. That's when she saw them.
Rodney saw Glitch riding his black horse, on Cain's right. He was smiling joyfully. That's when Julia saw him. She saw Cain riding his white horse, in the center of the group. She smiled as she watched him approach. Even from miles away, she could tell he was smiling too.
She turned to face her sister. "Come on…let's go welcome them home…" she said.
THE END!
