Over Again
Epilogue
{Six Years Later}
I watched as the boys came down from the last tour for quite a while. Thank goodness, because I wouldn't be ready to let Zayn leave for a good year or so.
He saw us and smiled. "Mama, let me go please!" I looked down at the five, almost six year old. He had blonde hair, which I assumed he got from either Brandy or Ella. His eyes were brown, like mine. He had tan skin, a sort of mixture of mine and Zayn's. He was really sensitive, like Zayn, and he loved to draw, like Zayn also.
So basically this child was nothing like me. But whatever. I loved him either way.
I let go of my son's hand, and he rushed to his father.
"Daddy!" He leapt into Zayn's arms.
"Woah, Carter," he said as he stumbled back a little. "You've really grown!" Carter beamed.
"Mama said that I grew two..." He looked back at me, "what was it, Mum?"
"Inches, Hun." Zayn and Carter got talking, and I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and saw Niall. I grinned and engulfed him in a big hug.
When we finally let each other go, I said, "Hey! I missed you!"
He smiled. "Yeah, we missed you too! Where's Janet?" Janet was his wife. They were married for about two years, with a baby on the way.
"She's in the bathroom," he opened his mouth, "Yes. Again." He closed his mouth, grinning, and shaking his head.
"Mummy," Carter tugged on the bottom of my shirt, "Can we go see Booey? That was his nickname for Lou. He once heard Eleanor call him BooBear, and this 'Booey' was born. Louis hated it.
I nodded, and we followed Zayn and Niall to their little hangout area.
"Uncle Booey!" Carter ran up to Lou and gave him a huge bear hug.
"I have to say, our son is a hugger," Zayn said and gave me a kiss. "Hey." I wrapped my arms around him, telling him how much I had missed him.
"I'm here, I'm here," Janet said as she rushed into the room everyone laughed. "Hey, I'm almost eight months pregnant, you can't laugh at me!" She stomped her foot, waddling over to Niall, and gave him a side hug.
I sat down next to Harry, giving him a hug too. I saw him frown at his phone, sighing and turning it off. I rubbed his arm. "It's alright." I knew he was always having fights with his girlfriend. Everyone knew that he was being used for a variety of reasons. "You'll find someone."
"Hello," Liam called, pouting on a couch in front of me. "Am I not your family anymore?"
"Technically you will be," I said. "You are marrying my sister." Ella was twenty, and she was working for Niall. He kept his promise when he said he'd pay her to cook him food. Liam and Ella had been together since she was legal. He rolled his eyes, opening up his arms.
I gave him a hug, and he kissed my cheek.
"So..." Niall said, his arm around Janet, "is your sister cooking tonight?" I laughed.

"We'd like to announce something," Niall said. Him and Janet stood up. I saw Niall and Janet holding their hands on her belly. "We're having a girl!" Everyone clapped, and Louis stood up, slapping Niall's back.
"Finally! We've been dying!" They had kept the gender of the baby a secret for the whole pregnancy Janet came so close to telling me, I know it.
"What's the name," Eleanor asked.
"Well," Niall said, looking at Janet nervously, who nodded, "we wanted to ask Carter for the first name." I gasped.
"Me?" Carter pointed at himself confused. We all nodded. He obviously didn't get what was going on.
"They want you to pick the baby's name, like your name is Carter," Zayn explained.
"Oh." He nodded. "I think...Regan."
"Regan?" Wahylia asked. "Where have you heard that name?" Carter shrugged.
"I love it," Janet said. "Regan Grace Horan." My mouth dropped open. I stood up and walked to them, giving both of them a huge hug.
I turned to everyone. I smiled, my vision blurred by tears.
"I love you guys."
