HAPPILY EVER AFTER

CHAPTER TEN

(5 years after the gender reveal party, Annastasia and Max are sitting on their couch, surrounded by photos of their family, including their daughter Lily and son Jackson)

Annastasia: "Max, can you believe it's been 5 years since we welcomed Lily into our lives? And now we have Jackson too! Our family is complete."

Max: "I know, time flies when you're having the time of your life with your soulmate and your kids. I'm so grateful for every moment we've shared, Annastasia."

Annastasia: "Me too, Max. We've built an amazing life together. Our music school is still thriving, and our kids are growing up to be talented and kind-hearted individuals."

Max: "And we're still making beautiful music together, both in our careers and in our relationship. I love you more than ever, Annastasia."

Annastasia: "I love you too, Max. You're an amazing father and partner. I couldn't ask for more."

Lily: (running into the room) "Mommy! Daddy! Can we have a family jam session? Pleeease?"

Jackson: (following behind) "Yeah! I want to play the drums!"

Max: (laughing) "Well, I think that's a great idea! Let's get the instruments out and make some beautiful music together!"

Annastasia: (smiling) "That's what it's all about, my loves. Making memories and music together, as a family."

(They all hug and head to their home music studio, ready to create more joy and harmony together)

(10 years after their last family jam session, Annastasia and Max are sitting on their porch, watching their children, Lily and Jackson, play in the backyard)

Annastasia: "Max, can you believe our babies are all grown up? Lily's starting college next year, and Jackson's getting into music just like his dad."

Max: "I know, time has flown by. But we've been so blessed to watch them grow into amazing young adults. And we're still making music together, both in our careers and in our relationship."

Annastasia: "We've had an incredible journey, Max. From our music school to our family jam sessions, music has always brought us closer together."

Max: "And it still does. I'm so grateful for every moment we've shared, Annastasia. You're still the melody that fills my heart with joy."

Annastasia: "You're still the rhythm that makes my heart sing, Max. I love you more than ever."

Lily: (coming over to hug them) "Mom, Dad, I'm so grateful for the music and love you've shared with us over the years. It's shaped me into the person I am today."

Jackson: (joining in) "Yeah, and we can't wait to make more music with you both in the future!"

Max: "That's what it's all about, my loves. Making memories and music together, as a family, forever and always."

(They all hug, surrounded by the beauty of their love, family, and music)

(Many years later, Annastasia and Max are sitting on their porch, holding hands, and looking out at the sunset)

Annastasia: "Max, my love, we've lived an incredible life together. From our music school to our family, we've been blessed beyond measure."

Max: "We've been fortunate, Annastasia, but it's our love that's made every moment worth living. You're the harmony to my melody, the rhythm to my beat."

Annastasia: "And you're the music that fills my heart, Max. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful life with you by my side."

Max : "I love you, Emily, now and forever."

Annastasia: "I love you too, Max, now and forever."

(They share a tender kiss as the sun sets, surrounded by the memories of their beautiful life together).

The End.
