15- Epilogue

| Avery |

I guess everything does happen for a reason. Even five years after my accident, my family was still beautiful. My world was still beautiful. I had everything, and I wasn't taking it for granted, knowing that everything could come down in a blink of an eye.

Juliet was now twelve years old and in the seventh grade. Phoenix was five and going into kindergarten. Plus, Caleb and I were now also expecting two more little ones. Identical girls.

I couldn't thank God more. Waking up was a miracle, and having the family of my dreams were a blessing all in its own.

Caleb laughed, pressing another kiss to my belly and getting a kick from the girls.

"Momma!" Phoenix cooed, climbing onto the couch. I smiled as he cuddled into my side, laying his hand on my belly as well. "Ba-bee!"

I giggled, gently ruffling his hair.

"Oh, baby, this is love." I whispered.

Caleb sat up, kissing my cheek, then pressing a kiss to my lips. He smiled, laying his forehead again mine. "I don't want to live without you; ever."

"Mom!" Juliet yelled, "Can Alaina come over and spend the night?"

"No!" I shouted, "It's a school night. Maybe tomorrow!"

Caleb laughed, hearing Juliet groaned. He laid his hand on my tummy, rubbing gently.

"My two little princesses. Claire, and Cora. I can't wait to meet you, girls." Caleb grinned.

"Ba-bee!" Phoenix exclaimed.

I giggled, "Yes, Nixie. Baby," I smiled, rubbing my belly.

"I am so blessed." Caleb muttered.

I leaned over, kissing Caleb's cheek. Then I gently laid on my hand on his.

"Aren't we all?" I asked.

Caleb's bandmates all filed into our living room, just having a friend's night. Jewel, Joey's wife, looked at me.

"Well, well, look at you, mama! You look great!" She grinned.

I laughed, laying my hand on my belly. "I sure hope so, these two are killing me."

Phoenix ran up to me, wrapping his arms around my legs and smiled up at Jewel. "Mommy has ba-bee!" He exclaimed.

Caleb laughed, and kissed my cheek while picking up Phoenix. Then kissed his forehead.

"That's all he's been saying for the past six months." Caleb stated.

"Here," I motioned, reaching out for Jewel's hand. Slowly, she let me take her hand. I smiled, laying her hand on my belly.

"Wow." She murmured, feeling the twins take turns kicking. She grinned at Joey, "Baby, I want a baby."

Joey rolled his eyes, laying his hands on her waist and kissing her cheek. "Yeah, I'll get on that, babe."

I put my hand on Caleb's shoulder, before sitting down. I let out a breath once I was sitting. These two were surely testing my patience already.

I sighed, "These two are trouble makers already. My feet and back are killing me."

Caleb leaned over, gently taking my hand. He gave me a sad smile. "I know, baby. Only a couple more months."

"Eeek!" Fallon squealed, "Y'all are so cute."

I shook my head, smiling wide. "Nah. I'm just really blessed with a great family, and an even better husband."
