Revenge Is Sweet Until It Isn't-Ch 36

Epilogue

The family soon arrived at the Rossi mansion, Derek helped his baby girl inside while the others started unloading and carrying the quintuplets from the car to the house and when everybody was inside JJ smiled and said, "welcome home guys, welcome home" and the sound of congratulations filled the living room as everybody once again looked down at the five beautiful sleeping babies that were in the carriers in front of them.

As Penelope looked around the beautifully decorated house she grinned and said, "it all looks amazing Fran", Fran said, "we love decorating, especially for Christmas and this year it was even more fun because we have five more family members to love and cherish", the team grinned and nodded their heads yes in agreement with the matriarch who only smiled happily as she continued to look down at her beautiful grand children.

Dave clapped his hands and said, "alright let's rip into these packages so that we can eat that delicious smelling food because this old man is starvingggggggg", Penelope nodded her head and said, "me too papa bear, me too". The large family then started ripping gifts open left and right and soon the living room floor was completely covered with wrapping paper and emptied boxes were laying everywhere.

Reid laughed and said, "well it looks like everybody has been good this year, especially Penelope and the babies", Derek said, "yes, it does appear that my goddess and my little angels did do quite well this year". Dave said, "well son you didn't do to bad yourself either" as he looked around at all of the things Derek had gotten for Christmas this year, Derek ran his hand over the top of his head and said, "true Rossi, true".

Penelope stood beaming down proudly at her babies, they were all so beautiful, she could see so much of Derek and herself in them and she couldn't wait to see what they would all look like when they got older. Derek walked over and wrapped his arms around her and kissed the side of her neck and said, "did you have a good Christmas?", she said, "I did and my favorite gifts are all sleeping right here in their carriers", Derek sighed and said, "we're gonna have our hands full for sure", she laughed and said, "truer words have never been spoken hotstuff".

Fran said, "alright, alright, now that the gifts are all open let's head into the dining room and have some dinner shall we?", Penelope said, "sounds good Fran, sounds good" as several of them grabbed the carriers and carried them through the house. Once the babies were all situated the rest of the family sat down at the table and gasped in surprise when they saw all of the food that Fran and the girls had all prepared for them.

Dave said, "before we start eating I'd like to say something", everybody raised their glasses and he said, "here's to the five newest members of our family, may they all be blessed with lives filled with love, peace and joy". The family all clinked their glasses and said, "to the babies" before taking a sip of their drinks and then a few seconds later they started filling their plates with delicious food and then they spent the next hour or so laughing, talking and eating as they enjoyed Christmas together, all be it a few weeks late but none the less they were together and to them that's all that mattered.

As the years passed Derek and Penelope didn't have any more children, they figured that five was plenty but JJ, Emily, Sarah and Desi added a few members to their clan with JJ starting with a son named Michael when the quints were almost a year old. Emily followed after her and gave birth to a son named Thomas a few months later and when the family was visiting her at the hospital Sarah and Desi met their soon-to-be husbands.

Sarah married Dr. Simon Tibbs and a little over a year later gave birth to twins Tabitha and Thad while Desi met, fell in love with and married Simon's brother Alex and about a year and a half later she too gave birth to twins Lucas and Leanna. To say that Fran Morgan Rossi was over the moon was an understatement and of course she loved and spoiled all of her grandchildren rotten and that was something that she enjoyed doing.

Sam had fallen in love and gotten married to a wonderful woman named Tina and together they raised the twins Alexa and Arthur along with another child a daughter Daphne that they had together. Savannah spent her life in prison where she belonged for everything that she had done, Sam had visited her several times over the years with pictures of the kids but after a few years she asked him to please stop coming because it made things to hard.

Sam reluctantly agreed and it wasn't long after he stopped going to the prison for visits that he met Tina and then the rest they say is history but even though life threw Sam, Derek and Penelope a curve ball they all rose to the occasion and all have amazing families to show for it and even though the didn't get their families the normal way the fact was they wouldn't regret the babies, never because a house isn't a home without children running around.

As Derek held his wife in his arms he sighed happily knowing that his life was perfect or as perfect as he was ever gonna get and with the family he had who could ask for more than perfect right.
