DISCLAIMER EXCEPT FOR MY OCS

Lexi:

The four of us walk into a plane hanger. We all got towels and I start shivering into Riley. We are here to meet the President and talk about something, he didn't go into details. Riley starts to tap my arm once he sees the President standing there, staring at us. "Sorry." I mumble. He continues to tap me. "Stop it." I whisper.

"Mr. President?" One of his men says. "Craig, give us a minute." The President says.

"Sir, for you information, this is the man who kidnapped you." Craig says. "As I recall, we were exploring a hidden tunnel, and the door closed accidentally, and this man saved my life." The President says not even looking at his men.

"Yes, sir."

"Gates."

"Sir."

"For the record, after centuries of exploration, on this day, you have brought honor to your country and your family. You've done this country a great service. I thank you." The President looks at us. I just stand there dumbfounded, while I could tell Maddie was fighting the urge to say you're welcome, and Riley laughed nervously.

"Craig." Craig gives the President a paper. "I thought you might want to take a look at tomorrow's headlines." The President hands the paper to Ben.

"Tomorrow?" Riley questions.

"Thank you, sir." Ben says. "All of you, along with Emily and Patrick Gates will get credit for this discovery." Ben looks at us over his shoulder. I nod. Even though Mitch is dead and did do so much to us, including holding a knife to a pregnant woman's throat- he still deserves credit.

"And, Mitch Wilkinson, sir."

"Is that right?" He asks. "It's true, sir." Ben says.

"Ben, I am curious about that favor I asked you. Any report regarding what's on page 47?" The President asks. Page 47? What the hell is he talking about?" "I believe I can help with that, sir." Ben says

"So it's good."

"Life-altering, sir." The President motion Ben to follow him. "What's on page 47? Are you talking about the book?" Riley asks. The President stops and turns to us. "What book?"

I sat on the balcony ish thing letting my feet dangle. Only a few months until the baby's born. Riley walked over with our hot chocolate. "Mmm…" I murmured after sipping the drink. Even better I kissed his lips. "Even better than the drink surprisingly." I muttered my lips inches not even from his. We kissed and quickly broke apart hearing an earsplitting boom of a firecracker. We kissed and kissed just about all night. At least Maddie found an apartment, and Ben and Abigail we're back together. This'll be great.

I'm doing my thanksgiving drabble I'm changing it to Christmas and I'm going to write another epilougue on Saturday about the baby being born, and I have a few stories in me still. Like maybe a few drabbles on Rose's mother…? Ian visiting Maddie? Lexi and Riley decide to get a dog? We'll see!
