Epilogue

**Six years later

**Acacia Point of View**

"Mamma, can we please negotiate?" Igses exclaimed with a frown.

"Alright. State your terms." I sat down and gestured him to sit in the chair in front of me.

I want to know what he is after this time.

"I'm twelve."

"I know."

"Mamma, I want to have decision making rights in the family too."

"For?" I patiently asked.

"For myself, for my siblings. I am the eldest and I need to have a face before my younger siblings. I want to be their spokesperson too."

I raised a brow and looked at him with a hint of smile. He looked so serious and committed at this time while talking about his rights that it was quite funny to look at.

Igses has become more matured these past few years after he got his younger siblings. He was possessive, protection and totally loving to them.

However, if you ask them who their favourite person is, they would name Igses in the second place and Noemi takes the first place.

Surprisingly, not only Igses not disappointed, he is even alright with the ranking.

Sometimes, I feel like Igses takes Noemi as more than a friend because no matter how much they fight, he is always so attentive to her.

"Is this your opinion or are these words suggested by Teias, Alaric and Lucienne?" I asked and glanced at the certain corner of the room where the door is closed but I can clearly feel little eavesdroppers behind it, pressing their ears to the door in an attempt to listen to the conversation.

I never thought that my proper pregnancy six years ago would result in triplets. Theis Dawn Ebernus is the first of the three born on Wednesday, seven minutes before the midnight. Lucienne Dawn Ebernus, the second of the three and the only girl was born right on the exact second of the midnight confusing us if she was born on Wednesday or Thursday exactly. Alaric Dawn Ebernus, the last of the three was born seven minutes past the midnight.

The birthdays of both the boys are clear but when it came to Lucienne, we still could not come to a conclusion on the exact day of her birth due to her special delivered time. One of the reasons for our confusion also rooted back to the separate tribal calendar that Jerk's kind follow.

"Of course it's all my idea. Mamma, I suggest we send the triplets on the three days two nights school trip. One, because they are not just normal human and can protect themselves very well and two, let them see the world and learn." Igses told so righteously and sensibly that it made me wonder how this little guy of mine has learnt to change faces expertly.

"What did they offer you to advocate on behalf of them?" The triplets are the most cunning when they come together. Although Igses is wiser and more thoughtful, the triplets together are totally crafty.

Nonetheless, they still could not win Igses when it comes to scheming. However, sometimes, as an eldest brother, Igses does play a fool and give into them.

"You know the three and you still want me to send them on a trip that will keep them away from me for four days?"

"They are not that bad, mamma." Although he said those words with lot of conviction, there is still a crack of hesitation in voice.

"On their first trip in kindergarten two years ago, did you forget what happened?" God knows I love my triplets to hell and back but they are truly the incarnation of devil.

It was day long vacation to a waterpark in the town close by which is an hour away from the city. On their way there, the triplets saw an abandoned apartment which is said to be haunted. They wanted to go there and have a look but they also knew that the school authorities will never stop the bus and let them go to such a place.

So they managed to get the bus to stop when they 'accidentally' threw their belongings out of the window.

When they stepped down to get them, they used a something sharp to deflate both the back tires and successfully caused everyone to be deserted in such an empty place right before the haunted apartment.

"They still did not go to that place, mamma. They know their limits well."

"That's because the teachers were guarding the students tightly. They still were stuck in the middle of nowhere for half the day." I shook my head in exasperation.

With the three being so active, I have been having headache from the day they started to show their true selves.

"What about last year? Your grandma and grandpa took you all to kids playzone and the three went rampant turning the whole place into a post apocalypse site. Your dad and I had to pay for all the damages and it took the playzone people two weeks to renovate everything again."

"They are still kids, Eblilis. Let them have fun and learn from experience." I heard a booming voice and turned to look at Jerk with a frown.

He came to me and sat down beside Igses after giving me a kiss on lips.

Looking at him in a complete professional business attire, my heart raced again for the nth time. Despite being attacked by his charm, his statement made me scowl.

"If you don't teach them, all they learn from the experience is that they can do whatever they want as they have us to cover it up for them. Few lines shouldn't be crossed. It'll will lead to future disasters." I narrowed my eyes at my husband and eldest son expecting, waiting for them to reprimand me.

"Yes yes, what you said is right." They immediately said as they tried to pacify me.

"Mamma" The three eavesdroppers finally came out of their hide and ran to me with almighty innocent faces as if they don't know what mischievousness is.

The three blinked at me innocently and held me with such loving expression that a stranger would definitely believe them easily.

"Please mamma, let us go on this trip. We will be on our best behaviour, we promise." They said in unison in one tone as they made innocent promises.

"No."

"Please mamma, please."

"You three think I don't know what is running in that little brain of yours? Don't take me for a fool. You will not go on this trip or any other school trip until you learn to behave properly and give me the assurance." I said firmly, stood up and walked to my room without waiting for them to plead anymore.

Jerk is usually too accommodating to the triplets, especially to Lucienne. So, I should be the strict parent here. It's alright he the kids are normally naughty. Kids should be naughty but in a healthy manner.

If that crosses line, then they should be disciplined early before they turn into snobbish rascals. Thankfully, although the triplets are overly mischievous, they are not completely uncontrollable.

They are at least not rude and have a polite bearing to those out of family.

"You are being hard on the kids again." Jerk hugged me from behind and kissed my hair repeatedly.

"You decided to be the good cop so I need to be the bad cop here. A doting parent spoils the child." I scolded him back lightly and turned in his arms to face him. "Right, did you get a call from Damien?"

"Yes. He already told me that Elspeth gave birth to their first child yesterday. It was a boy." I nodded with a smile.

Elspeth finally succeed to take Damien down and got married two years ago. Now that they are finally parents, it gave me immense relief.

Elspeth is one great love warrior. He patience and perseverance is top notch.

It's not just Damien but everyone in family and friends settled down finally with their own happy families. Four years ago, when Jerk finally prepared everything, he performed a ritual to give longevity to my family and friends with a hope that they accompany us for several hundreds of years.

As for me, as a destined person, as a mother of Jerk's children, I already got immortality when I gave birth to Igses.

At first, dad and mom didn't want to go against the nature and time and live for centuries however, Jerk assured them continuously that it isn't against nature as he is adding them in his own tribe lawfully.

A few years ago, I finally came to know the reason why Jerk and his people lost their powers when they came to this world. Apparently, it was because of me and igses.

My resentment affected them. It was my resentment at that time that turned into a power and caused them to lose their powers.

However, as we got closer and together, as the resentment lessened, their powers were slowly back.

It is still a surprise to me that I have such an effect on him and his people. I still don't know why I was chosen by fate to be his redemption but fates did make sure that in case of anything bad done against me, the other party suffer too.

And for that, I'm very grateful.

"I love you so much." He said as he kept kissing my neck.

"Hmm." I answered back.

"I want an answer back, love." He pressed.

"I love me too." I answered with a smile causing him to stiffen a little before chuckling.

"I only heard you tell me three magical words only when you think I was asleep but never to my face when I'm awake and sober. Are you playing with me?"

"Yes. Is there a problem?" I accepted honestly with a challenging smirk.

He pushed me back to the wall and started tickling me as he rubbed his stubble over my skin. "Say you love me too. Say it now."

"Hahaha, let me think about it." I said in the midst of laughing.

He rubbed himself on me more vigorously causing delicious friction between us. "Say it. Now."

I couldn't take it anymore after few minutes of assault so I finally gave up. "I – lov-"

"Mamma, mamma." The three rascals ran into out bedroom, calling out for me energetically.

Jerk left me immediately and stepped back a little before the three saw us doing something that their age doesn't permit to see.

"What did I say about knocking the door before going in?" Jerk asked with a tiny bit of annoyance.

I almost said those three magical words but the moment was cut off by his own children.

Ah, this is so satisfying.

"The door is wide open, dad. Next time, close the door for us to knock it." Alaric rolled his eyes at his father and turned to me with a fawning smile.

"Mamma, we really promise to be at our best behaviour. Please let us go to this trip, please mamma."

"Why don't you go get approval off both your grandparents first? If they agree then I will think about it." I said knowing too well that their grandpa is like a military general to them when it comes to discipline so it will be a tough job to get his approval.

Dad loves his grandkids to death but when it comes to manners and discipline, he is a lot stricter than me.

"That's not fair." They all pouted and sighed in disappointment.

"Well, if your grandpa agrees, then you can go. I will sign the school form surely." I threw the bait and sent them off to coax their grandpa, knowing to well that he would not approve without solid conditions.

Once the kids are out, Jerk tried to hug me again and asked to continue but I escaped from the room laughing loudly.

I love you, Jerk. I love you so much but... what's the hurry?

There're centuries ahead of us, let me play with you for a while before hear my confession.

I skipped towards the study in good mood and a plan to tease him.

The paranormal chapter of my life started like a midnight light, with surprise, fear and confusion; changed to burning night with the birth of Igses, full of excitement, anger and possessiveness; concluding like morning twilight like the first ray of morning light, hopeful, lovely and positive.

Never have I thought that there would be a day I will slip into supernatural world not did I assume that I would fall in love with the man who changed my life for worse and also for better.

Jerk really gave me expanse of experience and I don't regret reconciling with him. I now know that without him, I would not be what I am today nor would I have such amazing children.

He may not be a complete positive person but he has his own merits.

I love him. So does he.

And he has become the dawn of my life.
