epilogue ~ happy ever after

Izzy pov

It has been 3 years since Gem and Grayson was born today is their 3rd birthday. I'm glad the war we had many years ago was over. 2 years ago me and Xander got married. Right now I'm helping Gem get ready for their birthday party. She picked out a lilac dress with a dark purple bow around the waist. I put her hair in a Princess Bride.

We head downstairs to the party room. I see Alex and his mate Jane. Alex found his mate a year ago. Zoe and Jade adopted a little boy they named Joe a few months ago. Joe is 3 and gets along with Grayson and gem really well. I walk into the room and see Grayson running to me. Mommy mommy when can we have cake? Grayson ask.

Soon baby but let's wait until everybody gets here. I tell him just as I say that Jade, Zoe and Joe walks in. Once all the guests are here we start the party. We all dance. The daddy-daughter dance start and Xander and gem go to the dance floor and start dancing. Once the daddy-daughter dance is done we all start dancing again. Soon it's time to open presents.

Me and Xander had bought them both a matching set a pajamas since they like to be twinning all the time. Like I said earlier gem is wearing a lilac dress. Well Grayson likes to match his sister so he's wearing a lilac dress shirt and some jeans. Here you go guys. Xander says handing them their gifts from me and him. They open it up and show each other their gifts. They start squealing when they notice its matching.

Jade hands them her gifts. The rip them open the rapping. Jade had got them a matching set of Hot Wheels. They both like the same things gem is more like a tomboy. They show each other their Hot Wheels. Zoe hands them her gifts. Just as they did with Jade's they rip the rapping off to reveal the gifts. Gem got a outfit set. The shirt is black with the words Hot Wheels on it the pants are black jeans. Grayson also got an outfit set. The shirt was a dark blue that says Hot Wheels the pants we're dark blue jeans.

Alex hands them his gifts. He had gotten them BFF sibling necklaces. Grayson helps gem put hers on. Gem helps Grayson put his on. They continue to open presents for about an hour. Once they are done opening presents I head into the kitchen and put the candles on the cake and light them. As I walk out we all sing Happy Birthday to them. They both blow out the candles and then I cut the cake and give everybody a piece. We continue to party until about 8:30.

It has been an hour since the party it's now time for the kids to go to bed. They share a bedroom it has blue dark blue walls with a set of bunk beds. They each have a toy chest for their toys. Grayson has the top bunk why Jem has the bottom. Xander tucks Grayson in to bed while I tuck in gem. Good night kids. I say giving them a kiss on the forehead. Then Xander and I walk out of their room.

I'm glad I got to live through hardship to get my happily ever after.
