The Ghost

Epilogue

Three years later

Third person POV

A couple lays in bed sleeping, the woman whimpers quietly, her memories plaguing her dreams. The man who lays next to her unconsciously wraps his arm around her and pulls her into him. As she awakes she grins to herself and whispers, “Thank you, Tyler, my love,” then kisses his shoulder that’s draped over her. He doesn’t wake, but Galaxy cuddles closer to him and falls asleep in his arms.

The next morning as he awakes and finds Galaxy in his arms, he grins to himself, “You may not like it, but I will always be here to love you and to protect you.”

She grins back, “Whoever said I wouldn’t like it?”

“You little minx,” He chuckles, pulling her up for a kiss.

“I would love to stay in bed with you all day, but everyone’s coming over this morning.” She whispers against his lips. Giving him one last peck she gets out of bed and leaves the room to start getting their kids ready for the day. Tyler laughs at her teasing and gets out of the bed to get ready as well.

Two years ago, Galaxy found out someone was trying to sell their two kids, a daughter, Olivia, and a son, Drake, so Tyler and Galaxy took them in and made their parents disappear.

Later on, the front door bursts open letting Jasmine and Paris into the house. “We’re here!” They yell to the whole room.

The whole crowd laughs at their excitement. “Hey Jas, why are you guys so late?” Stacy calls.

“Well, you know, this one just had to get morning sickness right as we were about to walk out the door.” Jasmine chuckles pointing to Paris and her small baby bump.

Paris looks at her betrayed, “It’s not my fault you wore that stupid perfume. It smells disgusting!”

Rosie runs forward, “Aww is my little niece giving her mommy trouble!” She squeals into Paris’ bump. Then she whispers loudly, “It’s ok no one likes Jasmine’s perfume.”

“You little brat!” Jasmine calls out and grabs hold of Rosie’s head, rubbing it to mess up her hair. “My perfume is amazing and I resent that! And it’s a boy!”

“No, it's a girl!” Thea stands in protest.

Paris shakes her head, “Whatever it is, they’re going to be a huge trouble maker. I can’t wait to teach them how to prank,” she giggles happily.

Galaxy laughs at their shenanigans, “I’m so happy for you Paris. You too, my little niece.” She directs towards her bump. “Where’re those men of yours?”

Jasmine shakes her head at the teasing, but replies with a sad note in her voice, “The men got drunk last night celebrating and wouldn’t get up this morning. We left them passed out on Jasmine’s couch.”

Tyler groans annoyedly, “Those two need to get a handle on themselves. I mean seriously, Shauwn and Ricky should have known better. Did you at least leave them with a good prank set up, Paris?”

Paris grins wickedly, “Let’s just say that a headache isn’t the only thing that they have to worry about when they finally get their asses out of bed.”

Mark laughs, “Serves those two right. I warned them when we were at the bar last night not to get too drunk, but they just kept ordering more and when I cut them off they went and raided Jasmine’s bar.”

“Well celebrating that he’s having a kid can only happen until the baby’s born then he has to go into full on protective Dad mode or we’d all kill him.” John grins from beside Mark.

“Speaking of kids, when are you two going to adopt some?” Rosie whines at Mark and John. “I want some more nieces and nephews to spoil!”

Mark’s smile grows, “Well we’ve started the process, but it will take them a while to find the right kids that need our help.”

Galaxy’s smile grows watching the crowd of people she calls family laugh and talk about the future together, and their family is only growing.

Suddenly, Tyler yells out, "It's time!"

Everyone shuts up and turns to the television as Jace's graduation ceremony starts.

Rosie whispers to Thea next to her, "I never expected them to make good on the promise of banning us after our graduation."

"Shut up! At least they agreed to broadcast it so we could watch." Stacy whisper yells.

Everyone else ignores them as they start poking each other and fighting, but when Jace comes on stage to give his speech as Valedictorian they shut up.

"At one point in my life I didn't think I'd survive till high school, let alone graduation as the Valedictorian, but then my hero came into my life. My older sister Galaxy. She was this selfless woman who made sure that everyone else was taken care of before she thought about herself and she saved me. She saved me from the future my parents had set out for me and gave me a chance to build dreams of my own. She's touched so many people's lives and she doesn't even realize how big an impact she has had on them.

"Thanks to her, so many people like me have the chance to dream again. She once told me, 'Dreams are a dime a dozen, goals… those are dreams that people are actually working towards.' As we look towards our futures, let's change these dreams into goals. Then let's go out and conquer them."

His speech continues, but Galaxy's sobs prevent anyone from hearing. Olivia and Drake rush to their mother, hugging the life out of her.

"Don't be sad mommy! Uncle Jacy was really nice!" Olivia says, trying to comfort her.

"Happy tears baby. Happy tears." Is all Galaxy manages to say before she's crying again. The whole family gets up and hugs her together.

A/N

It's finally finished!

How in the hell did I actually write a whole freaking book! No seriously someone tell me.

I hope you liked the ending.

I have an important question for you guys though:

Which book idea should I write next?

A. Quintuplets with magic powers over all the elements live in an old fashioned cottage at the edge of town. Rumours have started surfacing that they are evil and want to destroy the forest, but the truth is that they are the protectors of the forest and the humans have been hurting the forest. What happens when the king calls his children back home leaving their forest unprotected? Will nature survive or are the greedy humans going to destroy it for good?

B. He loved her once, but then she cheated, so he threw her out. Now she's dead and her triplets have no one else to go to. Are they really his or did she get pregnant with someone else? What are these letters that she left him? Follow James as he learns to care for his 9 year old sons and daughter while dealing with his regret.

C. She's Russian Mafia princess, or is she? When she was born her family was disgusted at having a girl, so they tried to marry her off in a treaty, but the Russian Don saw how they treated her and decided to rescue her from a crappy childhood. Now she's 18 and going to her first mafia ball where she meets her birth family. Will they welcome her back with open arms or will they hate her for existing? Will she be able to see who her true family is? 

I'm probably going to write them all, but like I only want to post one story at a time, so which would you prefer to read as I update?

See you in the next book (hopefully)!
