This is the epilogue of the story. And the final chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it! No negative reviews please.
The seasons all come and go. The leaves come and fall. It has been more than fifteen years since graduation. It is now 1975. I've been living with my husband, Putzie. His name is now Roger. He and I got married in 1960. He works in an automobile shop while I work as a housewife. That's right! We have kids now!
We gave birth to a little girl in the 1961. Her name is Kelly. The name somehow came into my mind after looking in her eyes. Now she's becoming the teenager. She is now going to Rydell to join the Pink Ladies like me. Then seven years later, I had a little heathy boy. We named him Roger jr. since its Roger's turn to pick the name. Now he wants to be a soldier like my brother or a mechanic like my father. Then just three days ago, another little girl came to the world. She's the sweetest little one. After so many compromises, we named her Leanne. I believe after looking at her, she takes a lot after me. When she's hungry, I'm there for her, and when she's sleepy, I'm there. And when she's upset, I'm there to protect her. She'll be a Pink Lady someday just like me.
Me and Roger were the first of the gang to get married. I actually figured out what to do after he proposed to me at the carnival. I can spend a lot more time as husband and wife. We still live in town, but my family and friends have gone separate ways. Jill is still married and lives her life still by designing fashions for Los Angeles. Her daughter Lily is now in Rydell as a cheerleader. She refuses to be in the Pink Ladies, even her mom said not to. John is now married and had two kids of his own. He and I are still very close and still see or call each other once a few days.
Rizzo and Kenickie are married a month after us. But they have a kid before we have Kelly. They actually proposed at our wedding reception. They have a boy named Rickie. He is now a motorcycling T-bird at Rydell. Kenickie is now running an auto mechanic shop while Rizzo becomes a lawyer. Sandy and Danny were married a few weeks after them and had two kids. They have a little seven year old boy and a three year old girl named Michael, (after Sandy's cousin who also went to Rydell.), and Abigail. Danny works at a local car wash and Sandy works as a housewife also. Frenchy and Doody got married at 1968, but they decided not to have kids just yet. Doody went to Brooklyn where Frenchy is at with a job and they've officially reunited. Doody now works there while Frenchy continues to follow her dream to be a stylist. Back in 1960, she told us that she went back to Rydell due to chemistry she needs to pass. So she did and then immediately left for Brooklyn. Sonny and Marty were the last to get married in 1972. After Marty got back from New York, they found each other again and fell in love. Sonny now runs a pizza shop in town while Marty is eight months pregnant.
Right now, I was throwing a little party where John and the gang return to catch up on things with our kids.
We were all sitting together in our backyard around a campfire while the kids play in a kiddie pool and swing set.
"How's life?" I asked. And then Marty started, "it's going great! Sonny is doing great! Right honey?" Sonny looks at her and replies, "yeah. Hey, you do realize you haven't called me a grease ball in over ten years?"
Marty chuckled, "yeah! I can't believe I have one more month until he or she comes." She rubs her swollen belly.
Frenchy smiles and then makes an announcement, "speaking of that, I have an announcement. I'm pregnant!"
We all cheered. "Oh! Congratulations French!" I hugged her tightly.
"How far along are you?" Sandy asked. She replied, "only two months."
Doody announces, "Me and Frenchy will still be living in Brooklyn. I promise to write to you guys, or call you!"
They all nodded. Rickie comes over to Rizzo and asks, "Hey Mom? Can I ride to the ice cream shop with Kelly?"
Rizzo replies, "Sure."
Then Kelly comes and asks Roger, "Can I hang out Daddy?"
He replies, "Hey. No daughter of mine would go out? You can't date at fourteen!"
Rickie begs, "Don't worry. It'll be only for fifteen minutes."
Roger actually stared at him and the guys laugh. He shouted, "Oh my god! No!"
Rickie says, "Hey man. Chill! I just want to buy her ice cream."
Kelly whines, "Please daddy! He's a sweet guy!"
Then Roger gave her a face. I went to Kelly and said, "you shouldn't really date until you're older."
She sighs annoyed, "I promise we won't do anything stupid."
I rolled my eyes and nodded. Rickie takes Kelly by the hand and then left.
"Don't end up like me!" Kenickie called after them.
My Kelly has found love. They barely met for an hour and then fall immediately in love. She just doesn't really listen to us. She's exactly like Jill.
"Rickie and Kelly reminds me of us when we were kids." Rizzo kisses Kenickie's cheek.
Little Abigail come to Sandy and shouts, "Mommy, Michael is being mean to me."
Sandy looks at us with an apologetic look and stood up to take care.
Then I hear crying coming from inside the house. It must be Leanne. I leave all the doors open if I hear my baby's wails.
"I'll be right back." I announced and then went inside to the nursery and see my little girl wanting her mommy to feed her.
"You hungry little one?" I asked.
I unbuttoned the shirt and then gently picked her up to feed. I never knew I was a natural since I have three kids now.
After she was finished, I burped her and asked cooing, "You want to meet the gang? You want to?"
Her eyes are wide open. Well, since she's awake.
I took her outside to meet with the others.
"Everyone, this is Leanne." I said softly holding her.
Everyone 'awwed'. Sandy came back and gushed, "such a sweetheart. Can I hold her?" I nodded and gently handed her over.
Sandy smiles at her. "She has your eyes Jan! And you're hair color."
Abigail came over, smiles and squeaks, "baby!"
She chuckles, "that's right honey."
I look at Roger and he nodded. I looked back at Sandy and asked, "Sandy. Would you do me a favor?"
"Of course!"
I slowly asked, "would you do the honor of being her godmother?"
Sandy gasped and smiles, "yeah! That's so sweet of you! But what about you're sister?"
"She's godmother of Kelly. And John is godfather of Roger jr."
John gave me a small smile.
Frenchy announces to the gang, "Since I'm going to be godmother of Marty and Sonny's child. Jan? Danny? How would you like to be godparents of our child?"
I can't believe it! It's like a circle of friendship going by non-relation! That's pretty awesome!
"Yeah!" Me and Danny got up to hug her.
It soon got dark and all of us were packing it up and going indoors for the last few minutes because it got cold.
The kids were all watching TV while we chat more, cuddling by the fireplace. Roger kept a close eye on Kelly while she hangs out with Rickie. Leanne had fallen asleep in Frenchy's arms.
Roger jr. came to me and chants, "Kelly's got a boyfriend! Kelly's got a boyfriend!"
"Now Roger, that's not very nice." I said to him firmly.
He stopped chanting and made a shame on me face and then suddenly Leanne started wailing.
"Oh no." I sighed and went to Frenchy to pick the girl up. "Aww... You need a change. Huh?" I took her to the nursery and changed her. But as soon as we got back to the den where the guys were eating dessert, she won't stop crying.
Roger jr comes in and asks me, "Can I hold her mommy? I think I know what she needs!"
I looked at Roger and John who nodded, and then I motioned him to the couch where he sits down and gave her to him to hold. I taught him how yesterday, and he becomes a pro.
As soon as he held her, Leanne's eyes get all droopy. And as she shut them, I hear small snores coming from her.
John watches and asks in a soft voice, "Reminded you of someone?"
I smiled and nodded. "I never knew she takes everything from me. She's exactly like me!"
Roger smiles, "She's a hundred percent exactly like you!"
Afterwards, the party is almost over, Sandy sat next to me and asked me. "How are you feeling Jan?"
I replied wearily, "I'm still a little tired from a few days ago. But otherwise I'm fine."
Sonny exhales and says, "Yeah. We're all tired. Marty's legs fell asleep. We gotta get home."
Frenchy gets up and stretches, "Me too! We have a plane to catch! You threw a great party Jan!"
"Aww! Thanks Frenchy!" I smiled and then hugged her.
Danny called his kids to leave with Sandy. And Rickie kissed Kelly goodbye when Rizzo and Kenickie tell him it's time to leave.
We all hugged and kissed each other goodbyes and one by one, each other then left. John was the last to leave. He hugged me and kissed me goodbye.
"I promise to call you every day." I said and he whispers grinning. "Take good care of Leanne."
"I will." I hugged him again and he kissed me. "Take care." He nodded and shook Roger's hand and left.
I watched as his car left. Soon I cleaned up and threw things away. Roger called softly asking me, "Are you coming to bed?"
I softly said trying not to wake Leanne. "Yeah."
Roger comes back in the room, "good. Roger is now asleep. Kelly is too, but still upset, because she misses Rickie."
I giggled as he wraps his arms around me and kisses my cheek.
"I'll meet you in bed." I said and then he released me to go in the bedroom. I quietly went into the nursery to see Leanne sound asleep, all swaddled up in a soft blanket in a cradle with my old stuffed pink bunny lying next to her.
A smile lit up on my face as she yawned in her sleep. I cooed at her in a whisper and stroking her hair, "Hey sweetie. I bet you're having sweet dreams now. Our little Roger is like a charm to you. John did the same to me when I was you're age." I chuckled, "Are you happy to have Sandy as a godmother? She has a great caring heart. And I'm excited to see you in the future as a Pink Lady. I'll let you sleep now. You seem tired from meeting my friends. You'll see them again soon... Someday."
After those challenges I face when I was younger. I knew that I have a bright future ahead of me. And everything will be all right.
