A/N: Okay, I know I wrote an epilogue but whatever. I wanna do a follow up and it seems like something fun to do😊Also, I know that I wrote this as if it was set in the "early days", but they now have sonograms/ultrasounds. It helps with the flow of the story😋 I hope you all enjoy❤

I sat on the couch of my new house with Hook, holding my stomach dearly. Our 4 year old daughter, Bridget, ran around us crazily. "I'm going for my sonogram today, honey." I said to Hook. "So we'll finally get to find out if we're having a boy or girl." Spoke Hook, a smile on his face. I nodded. "I hope Bridget will understand." "Bethany, love, she will adore being an older sister." Hook said, rubbing my back, assuring me that it'd all be okay. "I sure hope so. What if she hates her little sibling? She is four, after all." I replied worriedly. "Beth, relax. Bridget will be a great older sister. It will all be fine. I promise." I smiled up at him. "Thank you, Killian. I needed that." "You better get going. Bridget and I will be here, awaiting your news." I nodded and smiled. "I'll be back." Hook kissed my cheek and I got ready and walked out of the front door.

Slowly, I got into my car and drove to the ultrasound building. "Ms. Jones, I have an appointment at 9am." I spoke to the lady at the front door. She clicked her computer mouse a few times and nodded. "Second door on the left, please." "Thank you."

I made my way to the room and sat down on the examining table. Not long after, a lady walked in. "Hello Ms. Jones, how are you today?" "I'm ok, kind of nervous, though. Also excited." The lady giggled. "Well that's good. I'm Mary, I'll be conducting your sonogram." "It's nice to meet you Mary. My husband would have been here today but he had to watch our first daughter, Bridget." I explained. Mary nodded in sympathy. "Don't worry, you'll have a picture to bring home to him." I smiled. "Are you ready?" "Yes, I am." "Good, here we go."

The cold goo spread across my growing stomach and I watched as Mary searched for my baby. All of a sudden, a fuzzy image appeared on the screen. I couldn't believe my eyes. "Congratulations Ms. Jones! You're having twins! There is one boy, and one girl." I started to tear up. "I can't believe it. I'm going to have twins! Bridget will have two younger siblings! She's going to love that!" A smile erupted on my face. "Let's just screenshot this, and then you can take it home to the Mr."

After being handed the paper with my two new babies' images on it, I started up my car and drove home. When I walked in the front door, I immediately heard Hook, telling Bridget her favourite story, the story of how him and I met. I walked into the room and Hook stopped his story and looked at me expectantly. "So?" He questioned. I kneeled down in front of Bridget and spoke slowly. "Bridge, sweetie, guess what." "What, mommy?" She asked. "In a couple of months, you're going to have a baby brother and a baby sister!" I burst. Bridget's small face twisted in confusion as Hook rushed to my side. "Twins?" He inquired excitedly. "Twins." I assured. "Honey, I'm so happy for you!" He smiled. "We're gonna be an even bigger family!" I said as he pulled me in close and pressed his lips to mine.  "What?" Inquired Bridget. "Bridget, honey, you know how Mommy's belly has been getting bigger these past couple of months?" She nodded. "Well, inside of Mommy's belly are two, small babies. Soon, they're going to be coming out of Mommy's belly, and you'll be able to hold them and see them. They're going to be your two younger siblings. You're going to be an older sister to a baby boy and a baby girl." "But how do they get out?" I giggle a little and glance at Hook. "Do you want to answer that one?" He shakes his head, laughing. "Come on Bridget, it's nap-time." This time I shook my head. Smart.

*5 months later*

"Killian, can you come and take Annie and Ian up to their room to have a nap, please? I'll deal with Bridget." I holler. "Of course, love. I'll be right there." I smile to myself. I went from hating this pirate, to having a family with him. It's crazy how things work out, isn't it?

Dear Diary,

A couple years ago, I met a selfish, greedy pirate named Killian Jones. I loathed him but slowly, I began falling in love. I feared for myself and my heart because I never thought that he could ever love me the way I loved him. But, I was wrong. As I sit on our couch in our lovely, little home, with our 3, small children, I see that fate works in mysterious ways and things always work out for the best. Even when life seems to throw you for a loop, and you fear that nothing is ever going to work out in your favour, fate is there, watching, making sure you end up happy. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I fell in love with my captor, and he fell in love with me. Now, I'm going to continue on with my life, all the while falling for a handsome pirate, more and more every day.
