Hey everybody! The last chapter! What?!
I can't believe I'm actually done with this story! I mean, I started almost a year ago (december 5th) and I had this idea of following up with the dates, but look where we are now. A year later and I'm FINALLY done.
I would love to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your support on this story! It has been absolutely amazing to write and follow this story with your guys till the very end, and I can't believe it's already now. I feel like I started yesterday. Time is running so fast! Damn!
I know many of you hated me for killing of our dearest Crevan, but I promise you i have made up for it in this chapter.
I must admit I cried a lot writing this last chapter. But it was happy tears! (And some sad, but you'll understand why).
But I have gotten an idea. But it depends on you guys. I know many of you don't want to say goodbye to these people and this story (and trust me, you don't want to say goodbye to these children, when you meet them in this chapter). So if you guys want me to continue the story in a SEQUEL, tell me! Cause I would love to. But it depends on you guys. So don't expect everybody else to do it and just think 'she'l do it anyway', because I won't. And two people isn't enough. So if you want a sequel, tell me. Don't hold back.
Again, thank you for all of your support. I dearly hope you like this last chapter.
THANK YOU! LOVE TO YOU!

The morning sun had just crossed the horizon when the Swan-Mills family was woken by their usual alarm they've had every morning for the past 4 months. It was always the triplets that was up first, no matter what time it was. But they certainly each had their own timing.
Crevan, their youngest, always woke up screaming in the middle of the night and after some time, Emma and Regina found out it was because he was hungry, so they automatically agreed it was Regina who took care of that. At rare times, they had made him a bottle before going to bed and when the time was it, Emma took care of it and gave him his bottle. But of course at times the stubborn kid wouldn't even look at the bottle and just cried louder until he got his mommy's breast. Sometimes Emma even got a little jealous of how much Crevan got to suck on her nipple.
Violet, the middle kid, as Henry called her, was surprisingly the calmest one. She was already awake at time when Crevan was screaming for his nightly milk and was just laying there beside her brother calm as the wind on her heating sunny day. Both Emma and Regina had many walked in and met a hysterical Crevan and a calm Violet who simply smiled at her mothers when she saw them. But to their bug disadvantage, Violet was also the most attention seeking of all of them. The moment she saw her mothers, she wanted their attention. No matter what they were doing.
Emma had always said that Violet would be their bitchy daughter and while Regina had multiple times said that she wouldn't be at first, the woman slowly had to give in as time passed by. She would become the most spoiled kid for Emma definitely. But they all knew Crevan was Regina new little prince, and while she might not admit it, her little favorite. At times.
Rooney, their oldest, was anything, if not a tomboy. She was the oldest after all. She was, as Regina like to call her, all Emma's. she was a sleepy head and could sleep through anything. Even Crevan's loud screams, and how she did that, was beyond Emma and Regina. But they of course loved her regardless. And to their huge advantage, she barely screamed. Just like her little sister, she woke up and was pretty calm. But unlike her sister, she didn't seek attention. It was already obvious she sat her brother's and sister's needs before her own and she wanted the their best before she wanted her own. It wasn't often she asked for something, and she barely communicated with her mothers, but when she finally, she wanted all the love she could give. It would most likely be at times when they needed their nap time and her two younger siblings were already asleep. Because once her siblings were sleeping, she knew that was her chance and she cried and screamed if she didn't get what she wanted. Even if it was a simple hug or kiss, and it took Emma and Regina longer to get her to sleep than the two others.
And right this morning, on December 1st, their morning alarm was of course their youngest son scream which rang through the entire house.
"Gina... it's your turn", Emma groaned as they heard Crevan scream and Regina rolled her eyes and got out of bed.
"Don't forget our daughter Swan. You know how she gets if only one of us comes in"
Emma opened her eyes and groaned in realization.
"Get triplets, they said. It'll be fun, they said", she mumbled as she got out of bed and looked at the clock.
"It's fucking four am?! I swear to god I'm gonna be—"
"Cut it Swan! Now come on", Regina stopped her and Emma sighed and rubbed her eyes as she followed her girlfriend out of their bedroom and down the hall to the triplets room. Regina walked inside and saw her youngest face red from screaming tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Sshh baby, mommy is here"
Emma smiled at the sight as her son stopped screaming the second he felt his mothers arms around him. But before she could say anything another scream ran through the house and Emma groaned as she walked past Regina and looked down at Violet who looked back up at her and immediately stopped screaming. Emma smiled at her daughter and said daughter smiled back. She turned and saw her girlfriend feeding their son quietly and smiled at her, receiving a smile in return.
"Mom! Have you seen my phone?", Henry asked as he walked inside the kitchen and Regina turned her head towards her oldest son. Same did the triplets, as they sat in their baby chairs, smiling at him. They had quickly come to love their oldest brother shortly after they met him. Rooney was always attention seeking when it came to Henry. And they all knew that.
"Wasn't it on your desk?", Regina asked as she fed Violet her breakfast. While Crevan was the youngest, Violet always wanted her mothers to feed her. In that way she had their attention. Emma always thought it was a sneaky little trick and she loved her daughter for it.
"No I placed it on my nightstand, but now it's gone", he said and Regina furrowed her eyebrows for a moment before realization hit her and turned to her triplets with a raised eyebrow. She sighed and took the food away from the triplets, earning cries.
"Alright. Which one of you took your brothers phone?"
The triplets stopped crying and shared looks, but after a few seconds Violet's attention turned to the food and started crying once again. But Regina was having none of it.
"You can cry all you want sweetie, but you will not get your food until one of you gives your brother his phone back"
Violet instantly stopped crying and looked at her brunette mother with her puppy eyes. And while it always worked on Emma, it never worked on her. So she gave a stern look back before turning to Crevan.
"Was it you young man?"
The boy looked down not giving a word and Regina raised an eyebrow turning to the oldest.
"Rooney?"
The oldest looked at her mother like she was actually offended and Regina gave her stern look before returning to Violet.
"Violet?"
When none of them said anything, she knew what she had to do.
"Alright, no cartoons tonight", she said standing from her seat and the moment the triplets heard the words no cartoons, they all screamed and Regina turned back to them.
"You can all stop screaming. That's what happens when you won't answer my question. Now I'll ask one last time. Where is Henry's phone?"
At that moment Crevan and Violet turned to Rooney and the baby blushed hard at her mother before looking at her siblings like they had just betrayed her.
"Alright young woman, where is it?"
Rooney turned to her mother with a guilty look and slowly turned to the refrigerator. Regina frowned and walked over opening it. She looked it over and saw the phone on its bottom shelf. Regina sighed and shook her head as she took it and gave it to Henry.
"How did she...?", he trailed off and Regina shook her head.
"I don't know. Now go, I'll call your grandmother and tell her why you were late"
Henry smiled and leaned down kissing his mothers cheek. Over the past year, he had grown so tall that Regina was on the verge of tears every single time she hugged him or kissed him. He wasn't her little prince anymore. Henry smiled at her and hugged her tight, knowing what's going through her head.
"Don't worry. I'm still me"
Regina smiled and nodded.
"Now go"
Henry smiled and kissed her forehead before turning to his siblings kissing their foreheads earning giggles, before walking out of the house. Regina sighed and turned to her children who sat and stared at her with guilty looks.
"You're lucky I love you three as much as I do", she said as she sat back down and gave them their breakfast. They all smiled and dug into their food once again.
"Hey", Emma greeted as she walked in with wet hair and Regina smiled at her, receiving a soft kiss on her lips. In that moment Violet started to scream and the two mothers turned to their daughter.
"What's wrong Vi? Can momma not kiss mommy huh?"
Violet shook her head and Emma chuckled and kissed Regina's cheek before walking over to her children kissing their heads.
"Aren't you going to the station today?", Regina asked as she started feeding Violet once again and Emma smiled at her as she poured herself a cup of coffee.
"I am, I'm just heading over there a little later today"
Regina nodded and smiled turning back to her youngest daughter.
"You're eating way too much sweetheart"
Emma chuckled and walked over to her girlfriend and stood beside her looking at their triplets.
"We did a pretty good job don't you think?"
Regina smiled and turned to her girlfriend.
"Indeed. But we're far from done yet Swan"
Emma chuckled and leaned down kissing her softly, but this time all three siblings screamed and Emma rolled her eyes.
"I guess these three rule the house and it's rules now"
Regina chuckled and nodded in agreement.
"Indeed they do. But as long as I'm with you, I don't care who rules this family"
Emma smiled wide and leaned down kissing her once more, earning several screams.
4 years later
"Give me my teddy!", Violet screamed as she ran after Crevan through the house. Henry had to step to the side in order to save himself along with his coffee. The triplets was fast as hell. They ran into the kitchen and before any of them could do anything about it, Crevan collided with another body. Both siblings looked up to see their blonde mother standing with open mouth in a silent scream, coffee all over her face and chest.
"I'm sorry momma"
"Crevan and Violet Swan-Mills!", Regina yelled from behind them and the two five year olds turned around meeting their brunette mother.
"Crevan you give your sister her teddy bear back and you both go and take five minutes on the stairs"
"But mommy he—"
"Now!", Regina stopped her daughter and both children walked out of the kitchen silently and sat on the stairs, each their own step. Regina sighed and took a towel before walking over to her wife helping her cleaning up.
"At rare days like this, I regret having unprotected sex with you", Emma commented and Regina chuckled.
"When children are made by true loves magic, it's hard to have sex without creating something", she answered and Emma sighed and cleaned her face.
"Yeah well. At least this is all we're getting", she said and Regina cleared her throat awkwardly looking down.
"Regina?"
The woman kept looking down cleaning the blonde's shirt and Emma felt a lump in her throat.
"This is all we're getting, right?"
Regina blushed and looked up at her wife, a smile forming on her lips.
"You have got to be kidding me?"
"Surprise?", she whispered and Emma opened her mouth and widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Mommy?"
Regina turned around meeting Rooney's brown eyes and brown hair. She had definitely got Regina's genes. She was the only one who was all Regina, while Violet had gotten Emma's golden locks, but still brown eyes and Crevan had his green eyes with dark drown hair.
"What's up sweetie?", Regina asked turning around fully and Rooney stepped closer to her mothers as she blushed a little. She always blushed when her mothers looked at her at the same time.
"Uh... why is Vi and Crevan on the stairs?"
Protective as always, Regina thought sharing a smile with Emma.
"They had a fight and needed their five minutes sweetie", she answered and Rooney thought about for a moment before nodding in understanding. But she kept standing in front of her mothers who looked back at her with knowing looks.
"Momma?"
Emma had to bite her tongue in order to stop herself from laughing and Regina cleared her throat in order to do the same. They both knew that when the triplets wanted something, they always asked their blonde mother because they knew she was the one who said yes. At least most of the time.
"What's up champ?"
Rooney blushed and looked down for a moment.
"May Laura come over?"
At that Regina cracked and let out a snort, while Emma chuckled. Laura was Ruby and Mulan's daughter, who they had adopted a year after the triplets were born, and her and Rooney had quickly bonded from the first day they met.
"Of course sweetie. But has Laura asked her mommies first?"
Rooney blushed hard and looked down.
"Maybe?"
Regina smiled at her wife and nodded. Emma smiled and nodded in return before giving her soft kiss on her lips.
"What about I call Laura's mommy and ask if she wants to come over?", Emma asked her daughter as she stepped forward and Rooney's face lit up like never before. Emma smiled and took her daughter into her arms hugging her tight. Regina smiled and unconsciously brought her hand to her stomach.
2 year later
"Alright now all of you remember to listen carefully and don't interrupt your teacher when she speaks, alright?", Regina said as she kissed all of their cheeks one last time before pulling back and standing beside her wife who stood with their 1 year old son, Emmett. It was the triplets first day in school and Regina had been stressing out the whole morning and the day before.
"Yeah mom, we got it, can we go now? Henry's waiting for us", Crevan said and Regina sighed and nodded. For seven year olds, the triplets had quickly found their own growing process. Crevan had grown fast and was almost a head taller than Violet, while Rooney was a little taller than Violet, but still smaller than Crevan. Emma and Regina figured he must had gotten it from David through Emma's genes.
"Be careful guys", Emma said as the triplets walked out of the house and the two mothers walked to the door seeing Henry standing by the car waiting patently. He looked up from his phone and saw his mothers along with his youngest brother. Said brother jumped up and down in Emma's arms as he saw his oldest brother and Henry chuckled at the sight before helping his sibling getting in the car. Emmett kept jumping and Emma had to hold onto him a little extra in order not to lose her grip.
They waved at the car as Henry drove away and Emma stood and smiled, but suddenly heard crying and turned to see her wife with tears in her eyes.
"Aww sweetheart", she said with a smile and Regina sighed and turned to her wife.
"I'm sorry, they're just growing so fast"
Emma smiled and nodded before leaning in and kissing her gently on the lips. Emmett jumped in her arms and Emma chuckled letting him get closer to his brunette mother and Regina's heart almost broke as her son brought his small hands to her face, admiring her structures. She smiled and took his hand kissing it gently.
"He reminds me of Crevan", she said and Emma knew who she meant. The blonde was visiting Crevan's grave every night after the kids had gone to bed and it was only her and Regina. She used the time to talk with him when Regina was doing paperwork and it worked out for them. Regina also did it some times but not every day, as she wants to. They had showed the triplets his grave when they had turned four and Crevan their son had finally understood where his name comes from. They had showed them pictures of Emma and Crevan when she had first gotten him and her son had loved the fox ever since.
Emma and Regina had made the album they talked about all those years ago and now Regina was looking in it every night. Henry did sometimes as well, but not as much now that he would soon start in college. So Regina had promised to make another small album with pictures of all of them. Not just the three of them and Crevan, but the triplets as well along with Emmett.
"Yeah he does", Emma answered her wife and she was right. Emmett was probably the most loving of all of their children, except for Henry. He was a quiet kid and very shy at times just like Rooney, but if he was anything the others weren't, it was touchy. He always wanted to touch his mothers, no matter if it was a hug or a kiss or simply the touch of a finger. And to their delight, he was an all Emma. Green eyes and blonde hair.
The day the couple had told their four other children that they were expecting once again, Henry had smiled in excitement while Violet had screamed. Crevan had sat quietly looking at his mothers with loving eyes while Rooney simply had rolled her eyes and hit her head several times on the table. But the moment Emmett was brought home for the first time, they had all fallen in love with him and Rooney had gotten even more protective of her siblings, especially her new baby brother.
7 years later
"MOOOOOOM!", Regina heard from upstairs and groaned out. She was sitting in the living room with a book and was reading calmly when her youngest yelled out. She walked out of the room and was met by her youngest son running down the stairs after his older brother.
"Hey, stop it you two!", she yelled and Crevan's stopped making Emmett run into his leg. Crevan had grown enormously and was now a couple of inches taller than his mothers.
"Mom, Crevan took my book!"
"I did not take your stupid book Emmett! Mom I have no idea what he's talking about!"
Regina groaned and took a deep breath. And just when you think a 14 year old would actually be mature enough.
"Crevan I told you not to take his stuff"
"I know, but this time I actually didn't! The little prick is lying!"
"It's you who is lying idiot!", the 8 year old yelled back and Regina had to fight the urge to smile at her sons failure of grammar. So in order to stop herself she groaned out.
"Alright, stop it, both of you! You will apologize to each other right now!"
Crevan groaned and turned to his brother.
"I'm sorry Emmett. I'm sorry you're so stupid you can't see I—"
"Crevan!"
Crevan sighed and took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry. But I didn't take your book"
Regina nodded in satisfaction and turned to her youngest who stood with angry eyes.
"I'm sorry", he spit out before walking back upstairs, but Regina quickly stopped him.
"You're not going anywhere Emmett David Swan-Mills"
The boy flinched at the full name and turned to his mother knowing what he had to do. So he walked back down a few steps and sat down. Regina nodded in satisfaction before turning to her other son.
"You too mister"
"Mom I'm fourteen!"
"And apparently you aren't mature enough to speak properly to your brother. Now sit before I extend it to ten minutes"
Crevan sighed and shook his head before sitting down beside his brother who looked down at his feet. Regina sighed and walked over to the study and saw Emma sitting by her desk.
"Hey"
"Hey", Emma answered as she looked up from her paperwork and Regina smiled at her walking closer and stood behind her wife.
"Why don't you take a break?"
"I will in a second. I'm almost done with the last report"
Regina nodded in satisfaction and looked at her wife's face full of concentration and she couldn't feel more love for this woman.
"You know I love you right?", she asked, leaning down and Emma chuckled and turned to her wife who now had her head on the blondes shoulder and she smiled wide leaning in bringing their lips together and Regina smiled at the action.
"Of course I do. And I love you even more"
Regina smiled and turned Emma around in the chair so she could sit on her lap. Emma smiled and brought her arms around her wife. Regina looked into green eyes and leaned down, bringing their lips together in soft kiss. Emma moaned and lifted Regina into the air walking over to the couch and laid Regina, getting herself on top. The kiss grew heated, but Regina knew they couldn't do it here. Two of their sons were sitting just out in the dining room on the stairs.
"Emma we can't. Not now"
Emma groaned, but accepted the comment and pulled back, looking at her wife with loving eyes.
"What did they do?", she asked and Regina chuckled and rolled her eyes.
"Emmett is accusing Crevan of taking his book, but Crevan says he didn't"
Emma furrowed her eyebrows.
"And you don't believe him?"
"Of course I do. If Crevan took it, he would have said it already"
Emma nodded in agreement.
"So who took it?"
At that moment they heard the front door open and heard Rooney's voice.
"Moms!"
The mothers stood from the couch and walked out of the study meeting their daughter and Laura at the door.
"Hey girls", Emma greeted them and turned to her sons who sat on the stairs staring at their sister.
"Hey, uhm can I borrow ten dollars?"
The couple shared a look before the brunette turned back to their daughter, while Emma went and got her wallet.
"What are they for?"
"Candy", Rooney said a little too quick and Crevan wouldn't stop himself from letting out a snort and rolled his eyes. Regina raised her eyebrows at her daughter before turning to her son.
"If there something you wish to say Crevan?", she asked him and Crevan turned to his mother, but shook his head. He knew better than to fall for his mothers tricks. The moment they let out a word, two minutes were added to their time. And they had all learned by time that none of them wanted that. Regina smirked at her son before turning to her daughter once more.
"And what would you do with that candy?", she asked as Emma walked back inside the dining room. Rooney sighed in relief, but that relief was quickly gone when she saw her blonde mother give her brunette mother the money.
"We would eat it?", she answered and Regina shook her head walking forward.
"You're not buying alcohol, is that understood? You're not old enough to drink yet", she said and gave her daughter the money. Rooney sighed and nodded taking the money.
"Thanks mom", she said before walking upstairs, Laura following suit after a quick smile to her best friend's mothers. Regina sighed and turned to her sons who stared back at her.
"Go"
The two boys stood and walked upstairs leaving the two mothers alone.
"Who do you think will loose their virginity first?", Emma suddenly asked and Regina turned to her in horror.
"Emma!"
"What? It's a normal question for parents", she said and Regina rolled her eyes and actually thought about it for a moment.
"Wait, you're actually thinking about it?"
"Of course I am. You asked and I'll answer"
Emma made a face before thinking about it herself. Until something suddenly came up.
"Does sex with girls count?"
Regina looked at her wife with a frown for a few moments before realizing and nodding. They thought about it for another minute before turning to each other, nodding in agreement.
"Rooney"
"Rooney"
2 years later
It was a quiet day in the Swan-Mills manor. Emma had been home alone with Emmett and Violet while Regina was out with Crevan and Rooney buying groceries. Right now she was sitting outside in the garden in the warm summer heat in front of Crevan's gravestone. Sometimes she would just sit there and look at her his grave with a small smile. Sometimes she would talk to him. Talk about her day or her kids. Sometimes she would even talk about her son Crevan. Tell him how close he feels with the fox. How much he wished he could have met him. And sometimes while Emma sat there and enjoyed the quietness, Emmett would walk out and sit down beside her, looking at the gravestone with her. He even fell asleep in her arms once while he sat there with her. Emma always felt they had their special time when they sat there together. It happened at least once or twice a week.
But for now she was sitting alone enjoying the quietness and calmness. She hadn't said a word since she walked out and sometimes she just needed to sit and let her tears fall. Her tears of a missing part of her heart. The missing part that laid in that grave. But after a few minutes of sitting there, she heard her name coming from the door.
"Ma, mom's back. She says she needs to see all of us in the living room", Violet said and Emma nodded and turned back to the grave smiling at it.
"I'll see you later champ", she whispered before standing and walking inside. She walked inside the living room and was met by her whole family. Regina, the triplets and Emmett. Of course Henry couldn't be there since he wasn't living there anymore, and was on vacation with his girlfriend, but the rest was there.
"What's going on?", she asked with a small smile and Regina stood from the couch and walked over to her wife.
"We have something for you"
Emma furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and Regina smiled and turned to Crevan nodding and the boy smiled and nodded in return. He stood from the couch beside his sisters and walked behind the couch and took a huge box. He walked back to the couch and sat back down, placing the box on the coffee table.
"This is from all of us", he said and Emma turned to Regina with a uncertain look, but Regina just smiled assuringly at her and nodded.
"Open it ma", Rooney said and Emma sighed and took a step forward. She brought her hands to the box and took a deep breath before opening it letting out a gasp, eyes wide. She looked up looking at her children who all smiled back at her and she turned to her wife who smiled just as wide. She opened her mouth in disbelief and turned back to the box. She brought her hands down and lifted the small red fox into her arms, big blue eyes looking back at her.
"He doesn't have a name yet", Violet said and Emma turned to them with the biggest smile they had ever seen. She looked back at the fox and smiled wide as it licked her face.
"I-I don't know what to say", she said and all the kids turned to their other mother. Emma turned to her with a confused eyes.
"I've thought about adopting another fox for a long time but... Having these four troubles to take care of, it was hard to find the right time", she said and the four children laughed. Emma smiled at her wife and turned to the fox.
"You look like a Todd, don't you?", she said and Regina smiled at her wife. The kids shared looks and smiled at their parents.
"Thank you guys", Emma said and all the kids smiled at her. Emma smiled back and turned to her wife who smiled lovingly at her.
"Thank you", she whispered and Regina smiled wider.
"Of course. Anything for you"
Emma smiled and leaned in kissing her wife's lips softly. The kids smiled at their mothers, sharing looks.
"I love you", Emma whispered and Regina smiled and pecked her lips.
"I love you too"
