Epilogue: Back In The Olden Days-6

"Why do you find this so hard to believe?" Sam clapped his hands in astonishment. "So that's why he asked me that question." I rolled over on top of him, my head on his chest. "What question?" "He said he had a project and it was to do surveys on the girls in his class and he wanted to know what I would say so he asked me how I would ask a girl on a date- wait he also asked me what the right age was to get married." "He asked me to give him money to buy him one of those candy rings and he had little cheerleaders at his soccer practice after school today." "How many?" "Maybe six." Sam chucked, brushing my hair back from my face. "Yup, he's a ladies man." "He's ten." "And? It's okay, we established he can start dating at 14." "Sixteen." I bargained. "Why sixteen?" "What age would you let Annabeth and Lauren date when they're older, hmm?" I challenged. Sam thought about it. "When they're married." I laughed. "Sam, that's so stupid." "They're my little princesses they're never going to leave this house." "Then Charlie is never going to leave this house." I argued. Sam thought about it before speaking. "Okay for Annabeth and Lauren 18." "Then Charlie when he's 18." I told him. Sam thought about it a bit more before sighing. "Okay, all of them when they turn 16." "That's a good way to not be sexist. Good for you." I patted him on the chest. "Sorry, it's just weird imagining them growing up every single day especially the twins. But then there's Charlie and he reminds me of how Phillip was at that age." I scoffed at the thought of Phillip then smiled. "Where is he now?" "New Zealand," Sam answered. "He's preparing for a competition there soon." "Are we going to see him eventually?" "Maybe next month, why?" "Lauren." Lauren was the clumsy one despite being calmer than her sister most of the time. So, we had put her into gymnastics and Phillip, our worldwide famous Olympic gymnast was ecstatic. "Also, this morning I got a call from Natasha and she said Elliott was crawling." "I know. Ivan sent the video to the group chat." "The family one or just the brothers one?" Sam shot me a look. "It's Ivan. Both. Toby and him got into an argument over how he sent it to both today." "Is Toby going to, um, get back Austin anytime soon?" Sam laughed. "Give them a week. They'll be married again in Vegas." Toby and Austin have probably remarried four times. I think. I don't know. But the amount of times they've gotten into huge blow outs that ended to them to stop their relationship, they always came back to one another. "I wonder how Elena deals with Ivan as her father sometimes." "She wants to come over during the summer," Sam said referring to Ivan and Natasha's first born. "Spend it with us." "Really?" I honestly didn't think that brown headed, seventeen year old girl would want to spend the summer over in England. She was so used to New York, she lived and breathed the upper east side like something out of a TV show. "I'm her favorite uncle, she tells me these things."Sam suddenly laughed, laying his head back on the pillow. "Caleb said the stupidest thing today." "Caleb says stupid things everyday. Don't even bother telling me what he said, he'll probably call tomorrow and let me know. Did he fly back home today?" "Yeah, he's visiting his brother before heading back to his family." "I wonder how-" The sound of my phone buzzing cut me off and I grabbed it, looking at the text message. "Dad says he watched the game and said you did great." Sam smiled, his eyes closed. "Tell him thanks and that I found the watch he wanted. We're heading back when the kids finish school right?"
