Epilogue

3 Years Later

"Hey, come in, come in, thanks for coming," Aubrey welcomed her friends to her home.

"Hey, can you believe she's a year old already?" Chloe asked.

The last 3 years had been busy for the blonde. 6 months after her accident David had proposed, and 6 months after that they were married. A few months later Aubrey told them of her pregnancy and today they were there to celebrate little Bailey's first birthday.

"Don't remind me, I can't believe my how fast she's growing up," Aubrey pouted.

"Tell me about it, Erin is almost taller than Beca and she's only 7," Chloe said, smirking at her wife.

"Hey, she's not that tall," Beca defended, resting her arm on her daughter's head to prove her point.

"Can we go play now?" Eli asked, pulling on Chloe's dress.

"Yes, yes, go on out back, just be careful," the red head warned the boy.

"Hey ladies," David started as he came down the stairs, "oh and gentlemen, sorry little man I didn't see you there," he added, addressing the baby in Beca's arms.

"He's getting big too, huh; he's what 4 months now?"

"Yeah, just about," Beca confirmed.

"Can I get you ladies anything to drink? You can make you way out the backyard and I'll bring it out," David offered.

"That would be great babe, thank you, I'll have coffee," Aubrey kissed her husband on the cheek and made her way to the backyard with her friends not far behind.

In the backyard Aubrey had gathered some of her fellow teacher friends with kids, her parents as well as David's, and David's siblings and their children.

"So where is the birthday girl anyway?" Beca asked as she took a seat around the table in the backyard.

"Napping actually, she was so tired and cranky we put her down for a bit," Aubrey informed them.

"Aww, she'll feel better once she opens some presents and gets some cake," Chloe laughed.

"Yeah, I think I'll go see how she is."

"I'll go, here, enjoy your coffee," David came through the patio doors and laid a tray with coffee, tea, cream and sugar on the table.

When the tall man returned he was carrying his daughter, now dressed in a fluffy pink party dress that Beca knew was all Aubrey's doing. He dropped the little girl in her mother's lap before taking the seat next to her.

"Hey baby girl, did you have a good nap sweetie?" Aubrey asked the child rhetorically, placing a kiss on her head.

"That dress is so cute Aubrey; makes me nostalgic for when Erin was a baby, god have mercy on your soul if you try and get that one into a dress now."

Beca laughed at her wife's revelation. It was the truth that Erin hated dresses, at least for the time being. Beca always told her children are fickle.

"You want to open some presents Bailey?" David asked her, tickling her chin.

David passed the small child each present; Aubrey would read the card and then help her daughter rip off the paper or the tissue paper. She received a wide variety of toys from her relatives, and a handful of adorable outfits.

"Aww this card is so sweet," Aubrey started pointing out the kitties on the front, "Happy Birthday Bailey, love Beca, Chloe, Erin, Elias and baby Elliott." The signatures at the bottom were scrawled in crayon by their young children.

"That's us," Eli said.

"She knows man, she just read that," Erin rolled her eyes. She was only 7 but already exhibited Beca's attitude.

"Thank you guys, I'm sure she will love it," Aubrey said. They had gotten the little girl a few outfits, picked out by Erin and Chloe, a teddy bear from Eli and a mix CD of children's songs made by Beca.

Erin and Eli both gave the birthday girl a hug, and each received a kiss on the head from Aubrey.

"Who wants cake?" David asked, once all the presents had been opened.

"We figured she'd get enough gifts and clothes and stuff from friends and family, so we decided to take a big chunk of money and add it to her college fund for her birthday. She won't remember this anyway, and I figure she'll thank us when she can get an education debt free, hopefully," Aubrey told her friends.

"That's actually a great idea, figures always planning ahead Aubrey would come up with that," Chloe teased.

"It was actually David's idea, I just happened to agree that it made sense."

"Oh geez, you two really are a perfect match," Beca smirked.

Beca knew David was the one for Aubrey when he invited her to move in after 3 months and his house was just as well organized and pristinely clean as Aubrey's condo had been. Her jaw dropped when he she realized Aubrey wasn't the only one who organized her spices alphabetically. Marry him, marry him now she remembered telling her friend.

Moments later David returned with a chocolate cake with pink frosting, Happy 1st Birthday Bailey scrawled across it in purple icing, 1 lone candle sitting in the centre. Friends and family of the couple sung to the little girl. After a few seconds of David blew out the candle for Bailey, and cut the cake.

"Mmm chocolate," Erin said.

"Yeah, I ordered your favourite kind; I figured Bailey would probably like it too," Aubrey revealed, ruffling Erin's hair, "you want to hold her while she eats her cake? I want to take some pictures."

Aubrey placed the little girl in the chair with Erin and grabbed her camera. She took several pictures of her friends, family, nephews and nieces, all enjoying their cake and chatting excitedly.

"Hey Beca, lean in closer with Elliott, I want to get all our kids in this shot."

"Adorable," Chloe said, taking a close look at the photo on Aubrey's phone.

"Yeah they are, aren't they?"
