Epilogue Two

____________

Ten Years Later:

Ariel

Me and Ivy tiptoe down the hall trying not to giggle. We decided to meet at my house for the deed while Wes and Auggie are over at her and Wes's. Both of us cover our mouths as one of the nannies pokes her head out the door. When she sees it's us she quickly smiles and slips back into the room where all of our kids are raising hell and supposedly watching a movie. The nannies are in on it with us.

We sneak in my room and do the deed and sneak back out. Both of us stand around waiting. It's the waiting that is the hardest part. Finally, the three minutes are up but we give it an extra two just to make sure. Sure enough, the two pregnancy tests are both positive. We fall back on the bed laughing. We suspected both of us might be pregnant again but we didn't want to say anything to the men.

Somehow they always seem to be able to tell when we're knocked up. But not this time! We know first. We're just about to sit up when the two men are there at the balcony door giving us matching looks. Thank God we left the tests in the bathroom where they couldn't see them.

"What are you two up to?" Wes grins at Ivy before wrapping her in a big hug.

"Nothing." We both say it at the same time. No, we don't look suspicious as hell at all.

My man nods his head like he's about to impart some heavy wisdom on the three of us, "That's good," he wraps me up in a big hug, "because Wes and I thought the two of you might be trying to surprise us with the fact that both of you are pregnant again."

My mouth falls open all but giving us away. I can see Ivy is just as stunned.

"H...How did you know?" Ivy isn't really asking Auggie. She's not even looking at anyone but Wes.

"Baby, we can always tell," Auggie answers my shocked look before Wes can say anything. "I told you, I will always pay attention to everything about you."

Wes is kissing the hell out of Ivy to tell her the same thing just in a different way. Wes lifts Ivy into the air and spins her around making her laugh out loud while Auggie lifts me up in his arms so I can wrap my legs around his waist.

"Now, where do you guys want to do kid time because I can't wait to have you all to myself after."

All four of us laugh. Kid time is something we put into place so the adults could have some adult time while our kids got to hang out with one another and play. We do it every month and it's become a favorite of everyone on the island. The kids love it because they can run wild and stay up late for once, the nannies love it because we pay them extra for putting up with so many kids at one time while on a sugar rush, and most of all we love it because we get to all hang out with one another and catch up. Even if Ivy and Wes aren't on the island one couple will fly to the other one but more often than not we're all on the island.

We all troop outside and Wes and Auggie get the projector set up so we can watch a movie outside in the soft, warm air of the island. They even let us choose the movie tonight since they ruined our surprise for them. I lay back in Auggie's arms and think about all that we have here on our little island and couldn't be happier. I think about the first time I woke up on the island and how unsure and scared of everything I was and how I am now. So much has changed for us but one thing stays the same. I've never been so glad in my life as the day I got kidnapped by a big, brute who couldn't keep his eyes off of me, not even for a second. It was one of the best days of my life.

The End!
