The Cowboy

Epilogue

Please make sure you read the chapter before this (The Reunion)! Thank you. :3

As the years pass and the story draws to a close, the characters within the story live on. Their lives continue and develop even greater and more powerful with each passing day. They go through the depression of fresh break-ups and family tensions. They fight and cry and laugh and smile, and yet when the day ends, they remain a family. Here are a handful of the final details on what become of the families over the next few years.

Bailey and Jessica's strong relationship died a few months after Baylin was born. While their mothers were as close as could be, Jessica and Bailey fell apart; fell out of contact. Jessica's sole concentration was on her child. Bailey, on the other hand, dated around. Yet, nothing quite seemed right.

Logan and Anne Campbelle moved with their daughter Jessica and son Anthony to a small town near San Antonio. Anne waited until Anthony hit a year old before she went back to work as a teacher in San Antonio. Jessica never did go back to school. She stayed home and took care of Tony and Baylin, while still attending classes online. That was her classic routine over the next two years. Then, Anne and Logan's second and final daughter Violet joined the group. She was Anthony and Jessica's younger sister. When it came time for college, Tony and Baylin attended Kindergarten at the school Anne taught at, while Violet went to Pre-K. Jessica, on the other hand, went to a University in San Antonio where her and Bailey's paths crossed once again. The first night that they became reacquainted was the very same night that Rykin was conceived. Jessica dropped out of college later that year.

Bailey and Jessica moved back to the Fischer farm when she was about 7 months along with Rykin. Mike and Julie--having been engaged for years--tied the knot and moved to a different state, leaving Bailey sole ownership of the entire estate. 2 years later, Bailey proposed to Jessica the day before she announced her pregnancy with Lukah. They became wed in the summer after that. Jessica gave birth to Fern 3 years after that, and Athens another 4 years after her. 20 month old Sylas brought the total up to 6. Even then, they weren't done. For, the night after the Reunion, she told Bailey the big news. The news of the conception that ended the pitter-patter of Fischer feet upon their floor. She told him she was pregnant with their son. She and Bailey produced Jonah--officially, and truly ending the Fischer Clan.

Little had they known, promiscuous little Bentleigh had been up to her head in baby making as well. Bentleigh, who was Bailey's little sister, delivered her first son with Jessica's younger brother Anthony, at the age of 19. Kyle was the first, followed by Sirius, and then Mya. They remained together, despite everyone who thought it to be odd (as Julie and Fred's son and daughter wed with Anne and Logan's daughter and son).

After finally getting over Jessica, Jason became acquainted with an older woman by the name of Natasha. They shared a son named Kai together, who was born a week after Baylin's 14th birthday. Natasha's daughter (with another man) named Dixie was 17 and thought of Jason as her father. She was very close with her step-sister Baylin, even though Baylin herself failed to get to know Jason. Dixie was the one who eventually set her college buddy named Kolton up with Baylin.

Preston, who cheated on Jessica with Amy Potter, ended up with her. After Jessica dumped him, he was depressed for weeks, but when she moved, he decided to not ruin what he had with Amy. The following year, he took her to prom, where he ended up impregnating her. Tucker and Myloh Henderson popped out 9 months later. The twins had a very good relationship with Jessica and Bailey's son Rykin, despite the family tensions. After the night of the reunion, however, the families themselves became very close.

Lastly, Baylin, aged 18, was more than happy with her relationship with 23-year-old Kolton. He was smart, funny, blonde. Everything and anything that could be perfect about him, was. They both agreed that following in Baylin's mom's footsteps and conceiving children while still in school was not wise. They were wed when Baylin turned 25, but remained childless for many years.
