Chapter 20: EPILOGUE

HENRY DIDN'T LIE WHEN HE PROMISED KEZIA TONS OF BABIES. Three children in the space of three years. They welcome their twins two years ago. Two boys that are splitting of their father— Nathan and Ethan, followed by a baby girl— Pearl, who is now eight months old. The boys dote on their little sister and she enjoys the love being the only female grandchild in the royal family.

Kezia could not be happier; she has all she could ever want. Henry now open up more, he finally forgives himself about the loss of his team, and he now visits the families of his lost team without feeling guilty. The nightmare has also stopped, thanks to the psychologist he finally agrees to visit who also helped him. Kezia now sees a side of Henry that smiles more; surprisingly he was the one that suggested the hangout. Elizabeth her sister almost peed in her pant when Henry told her an all-expenses paid trip to Dubai has been arranged for the family. Her parents were rather reluctant, they are worried about their duties in the palace being neglected, but the King commanded to go on the vacation, "the Palace will be just fine" were the King's word. They deserve the two weeks’ vacation, since they refused to resign, just because they are now in-laws to the King.

The adults watch has the kids run around in the garden. William, Lola, and Liam first son is the one monitoring them, being the eldest. He will be six in two months’ time; he's already controlling his younger ones. Lola gave birth to another male son who is just five months older than the twins Duncan.

"You do realize that William is a little menace like you right?" Leonard point out to Liam. As he saunters to where the adults all sat on the picnic mat. He has been chosen as adult to keep an eyes on all the kids. He loves pretending that he does not enjoy the Manny duty but he does. He loves his nephews and niece to bits.

"What are you doing over here with the adults, go back over there, to where the kids are. You are the only one without a wife here so that makes you a kid." Henry taunts at him, from where he lays with Kezia's head on his chest, causing the rest of the party to laugh. Liam and Lola too cuddle up on another mat, enjoying the cool evening breeze.

"Ha-ha very funny Henry. You know pay back is a bitch. Someone seems to forget very soon how he was crying on phone when his wife left him" Leonard throws back.

"I did not cry"

"You did. Liam! back me up here"

"I don't want to get between you two, please carry on without me. Thinking of it now I think I saw a traces of tears or may be not” Liam replies, causing them all to burst into another round of laughter.

"I hate you guys” Henry said glaring at his brothers.

"No you don't. It good to see you so vulnerable, it's been a long time you were." Liam chuckles.

"Who is supposed to be watching my grandchildren" King Gbadegesin calls out as he strolls into the garden where the rest of the party were. Still very much agile and active in his old age, though he enjoys pretending to be weak whenever it suits his purpose. The garden is one of his favorite place in the Estate.

"That will be Leo" Henry calls out. Earning a growl from Leo.

"Don't worry I will just stroll to where my babies are, carry on" waving them off, as he strolls to where the kids are playing tag with each other. He smiles at Pearl, carrying her in his arms, giving the old man a toothed smile. She was named after his late wife and Queen, and the little girl looks so much like her as well.

"Grandpa carry me!" The boys all chorused, running to meet him.

The King chuckles with delight at them. He's happy; everything is going as it should. If only Leonard too will just drop his Playboy ways and settled down like his brothers, He will rest easy only when Leo finds a woman that can take his wild ways, maybe he needs a push in the right direction like the rest of his brothers, the King thought to himself with a mischievous grin on his face.

"I think we should do a family picnic often" Kezia points out to Henry as they turn in for the night, after the kids were all asleep in their bed.

"I agree with you. Now come here, let me show you how much I miss your kisses my love" he growls causing Kezia to giggle as he drags her to their big bed.

"You are just insatiable" she teased. "Be careful darling, we don't want to get pregnant again so soon" she chuckles.

"It's your fault why do you have to be so beautiful" pressing a kiss to her lips.

Kezia moan with desire, earning her another kiss, then another until the only thought that feels her mind and thought was Henry's touch.

THE END.
