Epilogue:
Ten years later. (Alexia and Seth are now 27 and have been married for seven years)
Lexi?s Point of View
I woke up to the sound of Alyss crying. I got out of bed and walked down the hall to her room. She was curled up in her bed, holding her teddy bear, tears streaming down her face. “Sweetie, what?s wrong?” I asked sitting next to her. “Did you have a bad dream?”
She sniffled and nodded. “Yeah and a lion tried to eat me.”
“Did you watch the Wizard of Oz again?” I asked, knowing how much the movie scared her, first because of the witch, now because of the lion. I stroked her hair, smoothing down her brown curls.
“Yeah. The lion tried to eat me, just like he tried to eat Toto.” She whimpered. “And now he?s in my closet.”
“Alyss, he?s not in the closet. He?s in the movie. He?s not real. And he didn?t try to eat Toto, he was just trying to be a scary lion.”
“Can I sleep in your bed, mommy? Please?”
I sighed and picked her up. “Okay. Just for tonight.” I carried her back to the bedroom and set her down. She snuggled up into the middle, smiled and fell asleep.
I had just laid down and was at the point of falling asleep when I heard Caleb start crying. Caleb was Alyss? twin. They were five and starting kindergarten in a month.
I got out of bed again and walked back down the hall, to the room across from Alyss?.
“Caleb, what?s wrong?” I asked sitting down on his bed.
He looked up at me with his tear stained face and said, “I had a bad dream. Travis ate my Lego?s.” I held back a laugh and stroked his brown hair.
“It?s okay now. It was just a dream Caleb.”
He stopped crying. “I know it was just a dream.” He looked over to Travis? small bed. “He?s still sleeping. I didn?t wake him up.” He looked up at me and smiled. “Good night mommy.” He laid back down and fell asleep almost instantly. I smiled and left the room.
I went back to bed and was able to go to sleep until 8 the next morning when Alyss woke me, by jumping on me. Seth was already awake and I could hear the shower running.
I got up and brought Alyss to her room. “Pick up the mess you made yesterday. Kenzie?s coming today.” She immediately skipped around the room, picking toys up and putting them where they belonged. I went back to my room to get dressed and then went to help Alyss get dressed.
She chose her favorite outfit, a black pair of pants that came with a sparkly pink belt, a pink t-shirt and her pink flip flops. She sat still long enough for me to get her hair into pigtails before she went running out the bedroom door to go wake up Caleb.
Seth came out of the bathroom, dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt. He smiled and kissed me. Caleb came out of his bedroom and giggled. Alyss hugged Seth and he swung her up onto his shoulders.
Seth had the day off from work and I was a stay at home mom for now. I knocked on Cassidy?s bedroom door. She opened it and came out still wearing her pajamas. She yawned and squinted up at me, the light from the hallway bright against the dark room. “Is it really morning already?”
Cassidy was our adopted girl. She was twelve, and very sweet. Her parents died in a car crash when she was two and we had adopted her only six months later.
The doorbell rang and I hurried to go get it. Alia stood there with her baby daughter Jenna, on her hip and Trae was at the car helping their five year old daughter, Kenzie out of the car.
We were having a get together, with Trae and Alia, Aris and Kale, Missy and Zack, Sariah and Rob, Steve and Megan, and Sarah and Tom. Aris and Kale had a daughter Molly. Missy and Zack had one son, Sariah and Rob had five kids, Grace, Jason, James, Louisa and Mattie. Billy. Steve and Megan were planning their wedding and Sarah and Tom had three girls, Michaela, Janet, and Lucy.
“You?re here early.” I said, opening the door wider to let Alia in.
“I know. But I just couldn?t wait.” She grinned hugging me, careful to not let her baby get squished. Trae came up behind her and took Jenna, so we could hug.
“I missed you! I haven?t seen you in like a week!” Alia laughed as we pulled apart. We lived about ten minutes away but Alia and her family had been visiting her parents and we hadn?t seem them in about a week.
Alyss ran up. “Aunt Alia!” She cried out, jumping onto Alia?s legs.
“Hey pumpkin!” Alia smiled down at the little five year old.
“Where?s Kenzie!” Alyss looked around anxiously for the quieter blonde haired girl. She spotted Kenzie and grabbed her hand, leading her to her room. “I got four more dolls since last time you came! But they came in a doll house and they have a little car!”
A few hours later, after we?d had breakfast and gotten it cleaned up, every one else started arriving.
The get together was amazing. We talked for hours about our lives and finally when it came time for everyone to leave, we took pictures.
I flopped on to the couch, exhausted after the long day and the thoughts about the clean up I had to do. There was the stain on the carpet from Mattie dropping her fruit punch, the stain from where Grace dropped her carrot sticks and ranch onto the floor, and the stain from where Caleb spilt some soda. There were dishes to be washed, and trash to be cleaned up and I sighed. This was going to take a while.
Seth walked up and stood next to me, then said, seeming to know what I was thinking, “We?ll clean up tomorrow.” He pulled me off the couch and kissed me. I smiled and kissed him back, deciding that the house work could definitely wait.
Well there?s that?. I don?t know? something doesn?t seem right about it, but I couldn?t think of any way to make it any different, so there it is. I really hope you guys like it.
