Thank you to everyone who is reading and reviewing this story! Sorry for the delayed update…crazy busy weekend along with packing and organizing to head back to college at the end of the month kept me rather occupied. I hope you all enjoy this chapter! : ) This is the last installment of this story…sad as I am to say it…I loved writing this one!

Disclaimer: Nothing is mine aside from my OC Liz. And as always the title and lyrics in this chapter are from Lady Antebellum and it's from their first album : )

Epilogue: Our Kind of Love

You wear your smile like a summer sky,

Just shining down on me and you,

I swear your heart is a free bird,

On a lazy sunny afternoon,

I love the way that you are up for anything,

Never worried about what people say,

That's right, oh that's right,

What we got is,

Just like driving on an open highway,

Never knowing what we're gonna find,

Just like two kids baby always trying to live it up,

Oh that's our kind of love!

Three Months Later…

Liz screamed as she leapt onto the Northwestern. Norman, Jake and Matt whirled around in surprise at the sound of Liz' panic. They watched her flee into the galley, screaming and begging for help the entire way.

"What the hell?" asked Matt just as Edgar leapt over the rail and followed Liz inside the galley.

The screams intensified a moment later followed by loud laughter and the sound of things falling onto the galley floor.

"Well…I'm glad those two are still doing well," smirked Norman as he finished repairing an old pot.

"Yeah looks like it," agreed Jake, smiling, "This should be a fun king crab season."

Just then Liz rushed back out of the galley and onto the deck, still laughing and trying to side-step away from Edgar who seemed intent on tickling the poor girl to death.

"Would you leave her alone?" laughed Norman, "Poor thing...Liz I apologize for my little brother's antics."

Edgar rolled his eyes as he wrapped his arms around Liz's waist, "Don't apologize for me to my girlfriend."

Norman, Jake and Matt froze and stared at Edgar and Liz in shock. Liz beamed happily as she turned around to give Edgar a kiss.

"Wow…I um…I'm guessing you guys had an awesome summer?" asked Matt, still in shock.

Edgar laughed, "Yeah you could say that…I asked her to be my girlfriend last night. She's the only woman that has been able to get inside this bullet-proof heart of mine, and we were basically dating anyway so might as well make it official, right?"

Matt nodded numbly, "Um…yeah, wow…I'm so happy for you guys!"

Jake rushed over and hugged Edgar, "My best friend isn't a man-whore anymore!"

Everyone laughed loudly at that just as Sig walked out of the wheelhouse, "Hey you crazy kids! Stop making out and get to work! We're leaving in less than twenty-four hours!"

Liz smirked, "Well…I guess there are some things that'll never change. Come on, let's finish repairing those pots."

6 Months Later…

"EDGAR!" screamed Liz as she raced down the dock, "EDGAR!"

"What the hell…?" asked Matt as he, Norman and Jake rushed out of the galley with Edgar following closely behind them.

"Liz, you okay?" asked Jake, looking very concerned.

The crew of the Northwestern was in port preparing for Opillio season and Liz had insisted that she run to the drug store to grab a few things before they left. Now she was racing down the dock, screaming Edgar's name like she was a mad-woman.

Liz leapt over the railing and landed on the deck, nearly falling over in the process.

"I need to see Edgar…now!" she said, breathlessly.

Edgar pushed past the other deckhands and rushed over to Liz.

"What is it, baby?" he asked as he held her shoulders in an attempt to calm her down.

"I…well…I…I'm pregnant."

Edgar felt the world around him start to spin wildly out of control. His heart thudded in his chest and he had to grab the railing to steady himself.

"I'm sorry," said Liz, tears falling down her face, "I didn't mean to…I mean I was on birth control and everything, I…"

"Stop," interrupted Edgar as he stood up straight and turned back to face her.

Liz tensed, waiting for Edgar's reaction as he looked into her eyes.

"There's nothing to apologize for," he said quietly, "Liz…I'm so proud of you. I mean I know it's not in the order we wanted…with us getting married in a couple months and all, but its okay."

Liz looked up at Edgar with hope in her eyes, "Really? Are you sure?"

"Yeah…I've never been more sure of anything in my life," he said as he held her close and kissed the top of her head, "Everything is going to be just fine…"

9 Months Later…

As the Northwestern pulled closer to the dock, Edgar felt his heart pound wildly in his chest. He paced the deck of the vessel anxiously, willing the boat to move faster. He froze for a moment as a flashback stopped him in his tracks…

Edgar leapt off the Northwestern and hurriedly looked through the crowd for the one face he desperately wanted to see…his pregnant fiancé….then Sig's wife, telling him something was wrong…then Sig crying in the wheelhouse with the phone in his hand…telling him she was dead…and that their baby was dead too…

Edgar grasped the rail of the Northwestern, close to hyperventilating as he fought to control himself. History couldn't repeat itself…it just couldn't….could it?

As the Northwestern pulled up alongside the dock, Edgar leapt off of the boat and pushed through the crowd, seeking one face in particular. He felt a pang of nausea overwhelm him when he couldn't find the one face he was searching for. He felt his knees give out on him as he sank down onto the dock, feeling despair and pain course through his body. Flashbacks overwhelmed him yet again and he felt like he was going to black out…

"Edgar!"

Edgar looked up at the sound of his name, but it wasn't his name that caught his attention…it was the sound of his fiancé's voice saying his name that pulled him out of the depths of despair that were trying to drown him.

"Edgar!"

Edgar looked down the dock and saw a young woman walking quickly down the dock, pushing a baby stroller. He smiled in relief and laughed, shaking his head to clear his thoughts as he stood up and ran the rest of the length of the dock to meet Liz.

"Liz," he breathed as he held her in his arms, "I missed you so much…"

"I missed you too," said Liz as she pulled away from Edgar and reached into the baby stroller. She smiled as she placed a small bundle of blankets in Edgar's arms.

Edgar felt his throat tighten with emotion as he gazed into his son's eyes.

"Edgar Hansen Jr.," said Liz after a moment, "I figured it'd be best to name him after his father…you both put up a hell of a fight."

Edgar's smile grew wider when he realized that Liz had named this beautiful baby after him.

"Oh, Liz," he breathed as he held Edgar Jr. in his arms, "I'm so proud of you…"

Liz smiled happily, "Now that I'm not fat anymore I can fit back into my dress…so we can finally get married."

Edgar's eyes glowed at that, "And we can finally be a real family…"

Two Months Later…

The second the doors opened and Liz stepped into the sanctuary, Edgar felt his breath catch in his throat. He knew that Liz was beautiful but the sight of her in a strapless bridal dress took his breath away.

Sig, Jake, Norman and Matt smiled happily as they stood next to Edgar. Sig's wife, June sat in the front row, holding Edgar Jr. in her arms. She wiped a tear away as Liz stood in front of Edgar and the minister began to recite the vows.

As Edgar gazed into his beautiful bride's eyes he felt as if his life was finally complete. He had an absolutely amazing woman who would always be by his side and the most beautiful baby in the world. The days of running around and living it up were over…the life he now lived was more fulfilling than anything he could have ever imagined.

Edgar and Liz ran out of the sanctuary, smiling and laughing. Rice rained down on them as they raced outside to the limousine that waited to whisk them off to their new life together…and Edgar never once looked back…

You wear your smile like a summer sky,

Just shining down on me and you,

I swear your heart is a free bird,

On a lazy sunny afternoon,

I love the way that you are up for anything,

Never worried about what people say,

That's right, oh that's right,

What we got is,

Just like driving on an open highway,

Never knowing what we're gonna find,

Just like two kids baby always trying to live it up,

Oh that's our kind of love!
