The next day Josh was let out and as promised started to work part time. He was giving Rose a bottle at three am but didn't mind at all. Wesley got the sleep he needed and deserved and he got to meet his new step daughter.

As the months went on Rose was easier to take care of now that Josh was back. She would wake up less often and be easier to get her to calm down.

Sure enough Wesley was getting ready for his first day back to work.

He was happy and excited like last time.

When they and the kids were all set and fed they headed to the daycare.

"Alright, be good and look after your sister." Wesley said and gave them a hug.

"We will!" they said together.

"And don't get into trouble this week!" Josh said.

Then Wesley headed to the bridge and Josh headed to engineering.

When he got there and the door opened he heard clapping like last time and smiled.

"Welcome back Lieutenant Crusher." Picard said smiling and shook hands.

"It's good to be back sir." he said smiling.

Then he headed to his seat and got ready.

"Lieutenant Crusher, warp 76."

Wesley got it all set smiling as usual.

"Corse is set sir."

"Engage."

Then they were off.

As years went by Rose would be easier to take care of. Josh had proposed to Wesley a year later and he said yes.

She had gotten an eye surgery allowing her to look and see normal when she was six.

Jack was in a relationship with someone's daughter and Andrew with someone else's.

Rose was interested in engineering like Jack and Wesley causing everyone to start laughing. After being raised by Wesley for three weeks she took more after him then Josh as everyone thought.

Josh was offered to become a lieutenant but decided to continue being an ensign while Wesley was now Lieutenant Commander Crusher as everyone thought would happen.

Everyone knew Picard had a plan on having him be Captain of the Enterprise after being raised here and said that when Wesley is ready he will accept his yearly admiral offering and they all understood why.

Some people were shocked admiral would agree but at the same time knew after being part of the Enterprise Wesley would know what he's doing.

Data would let the kids and Wesley play with Spot and her kittens when she has one and like they did for Jack and Andrew Josh told her who her real papa was and was furious. Wesley had an anxiety attack after trying.

Since Josh came back he would have them a little bit less often. After what happened for a second time he still has them often and will see the councilor every week.

None of the kids got his anxiety and everyone was thankful for that.

Wesley had never seen Tom again and would have someone with him when he was on earth to visit his mom.

They were having Rose's tenth birthday now.

"Happy birthday Rose." they all said.

Then she blew out the candles and everyone clapped.

Wesley was leaning on Josh smiling.

"Seems like just yesterday I had Jack and Andrew. And now our little girl is ten years old and our little boys are twenty one." Wesley said smiling.

"Yeah. I'm starting to feel old!" Josh said causing Wesley to start laughing.

Then he shook his head smiling.

"Well, at least we're not as old as Captain and my mom." he whispered causing Josh to snicker.

Then they looked at Rose smiling.

Everything was fine.
