Epilogue

One year later…all their closest friends and family gathered for Noah's first birthday.

"…Happy birthday to Noah, happy birthday to you!!!!!!" They all sang while smiling at the joyful little Noah that sat on his mothers lap at his first birthday party.

"Blow out the candle buddy" Logan said from behind the camcorder making sure he got every moment. They counted to three and Rory helped Noah blow out his first birthday candle. "Hooray" everyone cheered as his son blew out the candle then clapped his hands and kissed his mommy.

"I love you Noah, Happy Birthday" Rory said to her son, Noah just smirked reveling in all the attention. Rory already recognized the similar characteristics between father and son and sighed inwardly. "You want some cake now?" she asked him, he just nodded emphatically and clapped again.

Rory picked up Noah and put him into his high chair and he patiently awaited his slice of heaven.

Noah was a good boy over the past year he had helped in his mother's recovery. Rory was released from the hospital after two days and seemed to be getting better. After their talk Logan told Tristan that Rory in fact would go on the medicine he suggested. Tristan in turn relayed the message to the resident psychiatrist; he immediately went in search of the young mother prescription in hand.

Logan did indeed take time off of work to help in finding the perfect nanny and to reassure his wife that he loved her and needed her. For the first few months Rory had seen a psychiatrist friend of Tristan's just to help her work through her Post Partum Depression with someone who was unbiased. In that time he had his office rewired and began working from home… permanently. Only having to make a trip into the office once a week barring no emergencies.

Tristan fast became apart of their group he and his wife Shelby. Shelby and Tristan were expecting their first child any day now.

Steph and Colin along with their son Alexander or Alex where standing by watching their young godson eat his first bit of cake; knowing that in just a few short weeks it would be Alex's turn to blow out his own candles.

"Colin, look Alex is practicing" Steph said laughing as he blew out and imaginary candle.

"Good boy Alex, keep practicing" Colin replied and he kissed his sons head.

"How's my Godson" Finn asked as he came up to the trio with a VERY pregnant Rose in tow.

"He's good" Steph said then redirected her attention to Rose "How are you feeling?" she asked knowingly

"Just peachy" she said bitterly, she was already two weeks past her due date with no real sign of the end.

"It will be over before you know it" Colin said

"Shut up Colin" she said shortly, they all just laughed.

"Lets go Finn, we need to say good bye" Rose said to her husband

"What why? We were never one's to leave a party early love." he said while giving her his best puppy dog eyes.

"You put her in me; you are going to get her out NOW" she said angrily "Good bye Steph, Colin I am going to have sex so the next time I want to see anyone is at the hospital. Bye Alex, give Auntie Rose a kiss" she said sweetly to the boy leaving three stunned adults and one happy baby in her wake.

"Looks like you have a job to do, mate" Colin said cheekily after getting over the initial shock.

Finn smirked, shook Colin's hand and kissed Alex and Steph then walked away!

"Having fun Ace?" Logan asked as she stood by watching her son cover himself with the butter cream icing. She began looking around at everyone, examining and contemplating what a wonderful life she actually had, she saw the exchange and laughter between her friends she saw her mother, father and little brother with Honor, Josh and little Mitch and Tristan and Shelby who were sitting close by also in on the conversation with her family, they were all having fun.

She looked over her shoulder staring in Logan's soft brown eyes sighing fully content with the moment. Logan unconsciously placed his hand on her barley showing belly while she placed hers on top of his and said "Everything is perfect"

Rory and Logan were in fact expecting their second child, a surprise to everyone one around them, except them. Rory always wanted a sibling to grow up with and refused to allow her problems to interfere with Noah having a little brother or sister. They talked about it with each other and their doctors. The broached this pregnancy with less expectation than the last but it seemed that this time around the pregnancy gods were being kind to her. She realized life has to continue; sometimes you just need to catch up with it to make it work.

"Everything is pretty perfect isn't it?" He asked her taking in the view she had then back at their son and laughed as he threw his cake at his great grandmother. Emily was shocked but thought it was all in good nature, as everyone laughed

"Yup, perfect" Rory said again as she handed Emily a napkin.

Rory and Logan's eyes met once again as they realized there is always going to be bumps in the road but together they could share in the happiness that surrounded them each day as their life continues.

I hope everyone enjoyed the story! Its now complete! Let me know what you think.
