2 years later

Zoe smiled holding her kids hands. Zach was now 3 and he loved to learn about everything around him. Books were his friends, when he could get one of his parents to read them to him. He was the spitting image of his daddy. Isabella Hope Kinsella was born on a hot summer day in late June. She was only 2 but the apple of her daddy's eye. She was a daddy's girl. She looked like Zoe but she had her Daddy in her.

Candice still had yet to step foot into Bluebell, or even contact Zoe. No one seemed to mind. Zoe wasn't going to worry about her so-called mother, she was going to enjoy her kids and her husband and the family she had made in Bluebell. She wasn't missing out on anything.

"We go see Daddy?" Bella asked. Wade had started calling his little girl Bella the day she had been born. He loved his son, but there was something special about his little girl.

"We go see Daddy," Zoe replied with a smile. Life had taken an unexpected turn, but looking back on it now, it was a welcomed turn of events.

"Who is this Daddy of which you speak of?" Wade asked, scooping his baby girl up, spinning with her a few times, making her laugh.

"You," Bella laughed.

"You sure you don't have another Daddy else where?" He asked, kissing Zoe hello. "Hey bud," he said messing his hair up. Zach quickly fixed his hair. He sure was his father's son.

"Noooo," Bella pouted. Wade laughed kissing his daughter's head.

"Just checking," Wade responded, adjusting her in his arms. "Everything ready for your dad's party?" Wade asked, lacing his fingers with his wife's.

"Lemon and AB are working on the final touches. We just have to bring Dad to the party." Harley and Florence had gotten married in a small intimate setting a few days ago and now Zoe and Wade were throwing them a little celebratory party at the house. "Oh your Dad called to confirm that we be ready bright and early tomorrow morning to pay a visit to Jesse."

"Why?"

"I wasn't given the details."

Things between the brothers were better, they were slowly building the bridge that had been burnt up years ago. They no longer fought every time they saw each other. But they're not exactly buddies by any means. They normally talk once every few months. See each other on Planksgiving and Christmas. They call on birthdays but they don't ask the other for brotherly help. It's the best they can do considering the things they've been through. It's not easy to repair a broken brotherhood. They just needed time and things would soon be better for them.

Earl was great at making surprise appearances. Every so many months he might fake an illness to get Jesse home. Even though Jesse caught on pretty fast, he still let his Dad play the sick card. He pretty much told Wade to be ready at a certain time. Wade had protested once and Earl sat in his car, in their driveway for nearly 3 days before Wade gave in, needless to say when his Dad calls, he'll be ready to go.

"That's just like that crazy man," Wade chuckled.

"Crazy," Bella repeated, poking her daddy's cheek. He in return stuck his tongue out, making her laugh.

"What's with him? He's always rattling stuff off." Zach could talk a persons ear off if he wanted to, so him being quiet was a dead give a way that something was wrong.

"He hasn't said much all day. I can't get anything from him. But I personally think he misses his father just a little. Or it could be that his favorite stuffed blue dragon went missing."

"I'll go with the dragon. I spend plenty of time with both my babies."

"I'm a big boy now Dad," Zach huffed.

"Yes, you are." Wade stopped handing Bella over to Zoe. "But you are still little enough for me to carry, bud." Zach wrapped his little arms around his daddy's neck resting his head on his shoulder. "Maybe you did miss your old man," Wade whispered.

"You're easy to miss," Zoe commented. Wade gave her a wink, turning her cheeks a light pink. He had to admit that life was pretty damn good right now. This wasn't what he expected his life to be, the farthest from it actually, but now that he had a family, he was loving it.

"As I should be, but I miss my family as well." The small break from chasing kids was enough but he would rather deal with tired and cranky kids then deal with drunks.

"Ego aside for a minute," Zoe started to say, placing Bella on the grass before sitting down. "Your Mom would be proud of you, for everything that you've done."

"It's not like I accomplished anything, I did what I had to do for my family. I wasn't going to miss out on my kids lives. I had to step up and I did. I'm only a bar tender, Zo. Nothing great there."

"You're more than that, Wade. That's just the job that brings in the money. You're a father, a husband, a best friend, a son, a brother but most importantly you're a teacher." He had no idea that anyone saw him more than just plain old Wade. "You teach our kids every day. They don't stop learning. Because we don't stop learning."

"You're always in my corner aren't you?" He asked with a sly smirk.

"Most the time," she replied back, leaning into him.

They found the time once a week to visit Jackie. They wanted their kids to know at least one of their Grandma's. Once they'd get tired out from running around, Wade would tell them a story from when he was little. A few he could remember but others he'd have to get from Earl.

This was their lives now and they were happy, truly happy.
