Generally, periods (to signify the end of sentences) will always come after apostrophes. Quotation marks and parentheses will go outside of the period, but apostrophes go inside.

In American English, a period goes inside the closing apostrophe when it ends a sentence. However, in British English, the period goes outside the closing apostrophe. For example, "I love eating Pizza." (American English) or "I love eating pizza". (British English).
