Fifteen Years Later
-----------------------

Over the last fifteen years, a lot has happened. Leilani and Mason grew into beautiful young adults. Leilani still had Lauren's eyes and Mason's eyes were a dark brown, just like mine. They both had my tan complexion but had Lauren's attitude. As Leilani grew, she started to look more like me. Lauren agreed with me, but she said that Mason looked like her brother Christopher. We looked at old pictures from when her and her siblings were younger. They were all so adorable, but she was right, he did kinda look like Chris. Lily grew up fast, not in a bad way. But when she was thirteen, she looked like she was fifteen. Just like Dinah did when she was growing up! She dressed just like Dinah and had Dinah's and Normani's attitude. The best part was, she loved Beyoncé! I remember when she was fifteen, she went to a tattoo artist and got a nose ring because they did piercings there too. She slept over our house that night because Normani and Dinah were so pissed off at her. But her and Leilani get along great! They always hang out and have sleepovers, they talk about boys and other teenage crap.

We were right, Ally did have triplets. She had a big belly too! It was funny, watching a tiny person try to carry around a big belly. It was like she had three watermelons in her shirt. She could barley stand on her own two feet by herself. She had two boys, Zachary James and Thomas Matthew, who looked just like each other. They looked just like Troy, tall, light brown hair, chocolate brown eyes. Then there was their little girl, Troy could never say no to her. Little Charlotte Grace, who looked just like Ally. She had her attitude, her hair, her eyes, lips, nose, and her size! Her and Ally were like identical or something. Except, Charlotte had naturally wavy hair and Ally made her hair wavy. Oh yeah, and Charlotte was always smiling or giggling!

"Mom, can I have a friend over for dinner?" Mason asked, walking into the kitchen. "Ask mama." I told him.

"Never mind." He said and walked away. "Wait." He turned to me. "Why won't you ask her?" I asked him.

"Last time I went to check on her, she yelled at me." He said and I laughed at him. "Well, she's a little moody. Only two more months though, then she'll just be tired and so will I." I told him and squeezed his shoulder. "I'll ask her." I told him as I walked up the stairs.

I slowly opened our door and slowly walked over to our bed to see Lauren laying on her side. I smiled at her and kissed her head. She came up here to lie down about two hours ago because she was having really bad cramps. "Mmmm." She moved around a bit.

"Hey honey, how do you feel?" I asked her and soothingly brushed her hair with my fingers. She closed her eyes and smiled. "Better." She breathed out.

"Why'd you yell at Mason before?" I giggled. She rolled her eyes. "He was bothering Leilani again and she seems really upset. I think she's PMSing or something, but anyways, she was yelling at him and I could here him singing some annoying song at the top of his lungs. He was annoying her and really pissing me off. So I yelled at him." She explained.

"What'd you say, he's like afraid of you now." I smirked, knowing how Lauren could get, especially now. "I yelled at him from in here to shut the fuck up and if he didn't he wouldn't be allowed out of the house until my hormones are back to normal and that he would have to walk Normani and Dinah's dog for a week. That fucking dog hates him, I don't know why." She giggled. She's right, that dog hates him and no one knows why. But that's okay, Mason's scared shitless of that dog, even though she's just a little dachshund named Yoncé.

I kissed her head and she smiled at me. I pulled the blankets down and pulled her shirt up. I planted a bunch of little kisses to her inflated belly. "And how's mommy's little girl?" I cooed to Lauren's tummy.
