Epilogue

 

"Aaaaaah!" We shrieked as we all held hands and bounced up and down like morons.

"This is so exciting!" Dar squeaked out happily.

"I can't believe we're all pregnant!" Mol grinned, the last one to confirm her pregnancy for sure.

"Our kids are all going to grow up with each other! Soo Awesome," Tawn gushed as she started tearing up. "Oh, I'm such a watering pot. Hormones, you know," she sniffled, and we all sympathized.

"Have you decided on a theme yet for the nursery?" Pearlelenne asked as she smiled fondly at my slightly rounded baby bump and then grabbed Tawn and me up in a hug. "I'm going to be a grandma again! This is so exciting!" she cried out happily.

Tawn and I smiled at each other from over her shoulder while she gave us, what I like to call, ‘the death squeeze’.

The males, meanwhile, were having a little conversation of their own.

"I should totally get a medal," Jaye bragged, and Neyenn rolled his eyes at him.

"What? I knocked her up on the first try, I know I did! I'm a straight shooter," Jaye went on, making his fingers into guns and pretending to take aim, with sound effects and everything.

"If anyone should get a medal, it should be this guy right here," Ponne chuckled, gesturing towards Neyenn with his drink.

"Nah, Mol, deserves it," he argued, shaking his head, "For putting up with my shit, birthing all of those beautiful babes, and not attempting to castrate me. Yet." He put special emphasis on the 'yet'.

They all toasted to that and the conversation resumed.

The women let out another ear piercing burst of happy shrieks and they all cringed.

"They sound like the howling monkeys we saw at the zoo." Perre snorted, smirking at his own joke.

"Hey! Nobody calls my womins a monkey!" Little Darren glared and then punched Perre in the testicles.

"Oh, fuuuu, uhm, fuuuudddgge," Perre choked out, saving himself from a slaughtering from the women for cursing in front of a child.

He coughed a little, like he might vomit, and bent over at the waist, cupping his balls as he hacked up a lung.

"Darren Harvick! You come over here and apologize right this minute!" Jaye shouted through stilted laughter.

"Never! I deflendered their homer!" little Darey swore as he climbed a tree to evade his father.

"I think he means he defended their honor," Marre translated helpfully, smothering his laughter.

A girlish, high pitched scream echoed through the backyard, catching everyone’s attention, and Joey came running out with a snarling Pudge the dog in his arms.

Pudge's fat little sausage legs were peddling along with Joey, barking and growling at Exinn as he screamed again and tried to evade the un-gruesome little twosome.

"Wow, what a freakin’ pussy." Marre whistled low as he watched the show.

"I say we revoke his man card for that one," Ponne agreed, nodding his head as he grinned at Joey, giving him a thumbs up when the women weren't looking.

"Come on, Wexin! He just wants to lllloooovvveee you," Joey crooned, his tone belying the gleam in his eyes and the trouble making grin on his face.

"Demon beast! Keep it away!" Exinn pleaded as he ran around the backyard to avoid Nona's un-menacing little terrier.

A surge of water hit Joey and he slipped and shouted as he flopped on his butt, landing in the now wet dirt from the hose little Ophelia had turned on him.

"Nobody messes with my Daddy," she snarled, lips pulled back, flashing a row of little pearly white teeth, her little pig tails and cotton candy pink dress a total contrast to the menace lacing her sweet little voice as she pointed the hose at a spluttering Joey.

"I love family gatherings!" Nona cried out happily as she hurried over to Joey and Pudge with two big fluffy towels, careful not to get mud on her lime green dress and lemon colored heels.

"Reminds me of Neyenn and Jaye when they were little," Muna sniffed as Kenvey, her husband, pulled her a little closer.

"You know," he whispered into Muna's ear, "we aren't that old, we could always have another one... or two... maybe three," he murmured huskily, smiling as she blushed and tittered, still as beautiful as the day they'd met.

"Oh, hush, you!" she admonished, "I don't even know if we could conceive again.” Her smile slipped a little, looking suddenly unsure for a moment.

"We could live dangerously and try..." He grinned lecherously, chuckling that cute, sexy chuckle that got her every time, but she knew he was only teasing about the whole baby thing.

"What are you guys talking about?" Jaye asked suspiciously, a reluctant Darren on his shoulder as he carried him around like a sack of potatoes.

"Let me down!" Darey cried, "Gramma, help! He's cwazy!"

"Your Daddy was thinking about having another baby and I was considering it," Muna admitted thoughtfully.

Kenvey spit out his drink, spraying Jaye in the face at his wife's bold statement.

"A baby?! But you're so... so... so..." Jaye spluttered, wiping his face.

"Old!" Darey supplied for Jaye from over his shoulder.

"You aren't serious, are you, my pet?" Kenvey grumbled seriously, searching his wife's eyes for any sign of discontentment. He cleared his throat uncomfortably at her carefully blanked stare. "We can't have a naked room if we have another baby..." he whispered anxiously in her ear.

Muna gave a small smile at the urgent tone in his hushed whisper.

I'll let him sweat it out a little more, she thought as she surveyed all the wonderful friends and family she was surrounded with.

She saw Darlah hosing off a mud splattered Joey.

Perre was icing his groin as Magenta flitted about him worriedly, Marre snickering at Perre from her side when she wasn't looking, stealing kisses from her as much as she'd allow.

Jaye had trudged off with Darey, probably to complain about his crazy parents. Tawn and Ponne were admiring Jenne's new friend, a snake he'd named Stuart.

Exinn was putting antiseptic on his ankles were Pudge had managed to get a grip and sink his dinky little teeth in, Ophelia playing nurse as she 'supervised'.

"No, love, don't you worry any. Your naked room is quite safe," Muna chuckled as Kenvey let out a breath of relief, patting his hand in reassurance.

"Grandma, Grandma, come quick! Jayelah puked all over Daddy and Mama can't find the camera!" Eilahna exclaimed excitedly, Coley jumping up and down beside her, identical looks of glee on their faces.

"Top drawer in the bureau," Muna told them, a fond smile on her face as she watched them scamper off to wreak havoc.

Yep, this is the life, she thought. This is the life.
