EPILOGUE 2
Six years later...
Six years and five kids later, and we're still going strong, the triplets Gage Michael, Christian Blade, and Gabriel Sebastian were joined eleven months later by Jason and Ashley, the twins.
It seems my swimmers only did multiples; Suzette was making noises about one more, I was satisfied with my cache, but she pretty much gets what she wants outta me.
School starts soon, and since the kids aren't even a year apart, they'll all be starting together in one capacity or another.
Suzette's decided to take things easy on the career front; she wanted to be front and center for all their little school activities since her mom was never there for hers, and she didn't want them to miss out.
Of course, me being the number one mother-fucking dad, I have to do my part, so we decided on one movie a year each, preferably together, but definitely when the kids can join us on set, which means we'll be working around them.
My boys are rough and tumble, and their older cousin Jonathan, Brian, and Connie's one and only teach them all the shit he knows. I've been at the wrong end of many a prank instigated by that one.
We bought a bigger house. Obviously, Rex's big as fuck, and we got him a girlfriend a couple of years ago to keep him company; this place is a mother-fucking madhouse. It's a zoo.
Five kids, two dogs, a hamster rat fuck, some goldfish, and my princess wants a kitten. Fuck me. Who would've thought we'd ever get here?
"What are you thinking about so hard in here?"
My girl was looking all kinds of ripe; I knew what she was up to. She wanted me to plant another one in her.
"Nothing, just reminiscing about the past few years; where the monsters? It's way too quiet out there."
“The boys are building something or other with their new building set. Derrick got them, and Ashley's waiting for you to have your tea party." She sat on my lap, and of course, she could feel my want for her. She raised her eyes at me while grinding into my crotch.
"Hmmm, somebody's sure happy to see me." I kissed her long and hard, putting everything I felt for her into it.
"Thank you, baby." I held my whole world in my hands.
"What for?" she wrinkled her brow.
"For making me the happiest mother-fucker alive."

"Gage and Suzette Maddox are on the red carpet once again, folks; it's hard to believe that just a little over six years ago, this couple was facing one of the darkest periods any couple could face, and now look at them. How many kids do they have now, Julia? Is it five or six?"
"I think that's number six she's carrying."
"I guess that proves that all the rumors of false reconciliations and studio high jinx were unfounded, I don't know about the rest of you folks, but six kids in as many years says committed relationship to me. Let's go have a chat with the ever private duo."
"Fuck this noise; why are we doing this again, butterfly?"
"Because it's work, now smile, baby, before tomorrow's headlines say we hate each other and can't stand to be around one another."
"Like I give a fuck what these assholes think; you think the kids are doing okay?" I worry about my kids, so sue me I hate leaving them alone while we have to go to one of these stupid things. The family is great about watching over them because I still don't trust strangers around my family. My old housekeeper and her daughter are the only exceptions.
She squeezed my waist as she smiled up at me.
"Yes, papa bear, the babies are fine."
"What about this one?" I laid my hand on the bulge of her protruding stomach.
"She's on a roller coaster ride, hasn't been still since we got out of the car."
I gave her poor abused tummy a rub and then removed my hand; I didn't want to give the California condors too much fodder. Usually, I would've had a little chat with my baby girl and told her to take it easy on mommy, but if I put my lips anywhere near her stomach in this crowd, that shit would be all over the world tomorrow. That shit was private; they'd taken enough of our private moments they weren't getting any more.
