A/N: Sorry it has taken me so long to post this epilogue- it's been a very crazy year for me so far. I graduated from community college, started at a university, my dad was diagnosed with cancer, and had to take on more substitute teaching jobs to help out. Having said that, I hope that you will like the epilogue. I do plan on writing more this summer, so keep an eye on that.
Review and tell me what you thought of the season finale.
Epilogue-
Lindsay and Don Flack surveyed the packed room in front of them, choking slightly with emotion. They should have seen something like this coming, considering that Don was now Chief of Detectives, and Lindsay was running the Crime Lab, but they never thought their children would plan a surprise party for their twenty-fifth anniversary. Their oldest son, Aiden, had told them months ago they were to be at the Hilton August 12th to have a belated celebration for his and Aislynn's birthday, which was on the 10th. While they thought it was odd he didn't want any help planning or organizing anything, Aiden certainly didn't give any indication that he was helping to plan an early anniversary party. Here at the Hilton was all their extended family, their friends, and coworkers, all surrounded by decorations proclaiming the occasion. As soon as they darkened the doorway, their second, irascible, yet loveable son Donnie, short for Donald Flack III, shouted from across the room, "Hey everyone! The guests of honor are here- let's let 'em know why they're here!"
In unison, everyone shouted, "Happy Early Anniversary!"
Flack and Lindsay smiled at everyone, as they watched their brood of six children make their way through the crowd towards them. It seemed like only yesterday they'd brought home Aiden and Aislynn, now they were turning 27. Two years after Aiden and Aislynn were born, Donald Flack III joined the family, to be followed by another set of twins, Taylor Michael and Nathan McKenna, three years later. It had been a mutual decision to name their third and fourth sons after the very special man, who'd been forced to help deliver them when they'd not been able to get Lindsay to the hospital fast enough. A year after Taylor and Nathan were born, their brood was rounded out by Keagan Stella, named for her godmother. Now, all the children were starting their own lives and careers. Aiden had followed in his mother's footsteps and become a CSI. He'd fallen in love with science during the times he'd been to the Lab for take your child to work day, and felt it was a good way to protect and serve, while using his aptitude for science. Aislynn had decided she wanted to save lives in a different way than her parents, and was beginning her residency as an emergency room doctor. Donnie, Taylor, and Nathan had followed in their father's footsteps and were police officers, well on their way to making detective. Keagan was in her third year of nursing school, and was hoping to work in the emergency room with her sister. After all the kids had given their parents hugs and wished them happy anniversary, other party goers came and did the same.
There was cake and punch, and fond reminiscing. When everyone left they were happy in the knowledge that it was another perfect day.
