Epilogue

A Year and a Half Later:

Brian hung up the phone and looked over at a very pregnant Leighanne:

"That was Jane. We gotta go." They hopped in the car and sped to Tampa General. When they arrived, all of the guys and their respective girlfriends/wives were already there, along with the Carter family and my parents. Brian looked over at his cousin:

"What's going on?" Kevin shrugged:

"We haven't heard anything yet." Amanda looked down at Aaron who was in her lap:

"I just hope everything goes okay." A few minutes later, Nick walked out into the waiting room in his scrubs. He picked up Aaron from Amanda's lap:

"Come on everyone. There's some people who I want you to meet." The whole crowd stood up and followed him into my room. Nick opened the door and I looked up, our newborn daughter and son in my arms:

"Hi everyone!" Jane walked over to me and kissed my forehead:

"And who might these two be?" Nick came and sat down next to me, taking our newborn son into his arms:

"This little guy is Brian Nicholas and this gorgeous girl over here is Kayleigh Elizabeth." Everyone fussed over the newest additions to our family. I looked down at Aaron who was sulking in the corner of the room:

"Hey Air! Come say hi to your new little brother and sister!" A grin lit up his face and he climbed up on the bed with us:

"I'm the big brother, right? They have to do what I say?" Everyone laughed and Nick patted him on the forehead:

"Right, little man!" An hour later, everyone left except Nick and Aaron. We all sat together on the bed. The twins were asleep and Aaron was nodding off, trying desperately to stay awake. Finally, he succumbed to exhaustion and fell asleep. I looked up at Nick who was staring at our sleeping children.

"Congratulations, mom." He said as he looked down at me. I leaned up and kissed him softly:

"Congratulations, dad. I love you." He brushed the few stray hairs out of my face before kissing me again:

"I love you more."

THE END!!!
