Present time, a week later…
"Kids are finally asleep." Carly says, sitting next to Johnny like they normally do when the kids are calmed down.
"Right now, I'm glad for all of us to have some peace of mind." Johnny says, putting his arm around Carly and kissing her, unaware that Michael was watching from the stairs.
Michael ran upstairs, waking Michelle up and telling her what he saw.
"Mom, Dad! Behave like soon to be grandparents, not lovestruck kids!" Michelle shouted down the stairs, Carly and Johnny trying not to laugh.
"Okay, she reminds me of you when you were 15." Johnny says, Carly lightly shoving him.
"Hey, I wasn't that bad!" Carly says.
"Oh, how about when you threw bricks at Ortega's home?" Johnny says.
"What was left of it after what I now know was Sam crashing a train into it as a kid." Carly says.
"Yeah. What about-" Johnny says.
"Hey, that rifle went off by accident. Not my fault Terry didn't dodge the bullet but it only grazed his arm." Carly says, Johnny looking right at her.
"Yeah. Gionna shot Billy once, mistook him for an intruder." Johnny says, Carly trying not to laugh.
"How do you think it would've turned out if I met Billy? Would he and I have tried to kill each other?" Carly says.
"With how he was towards the end, yeah, you wouldn't have gotten along. I remember once he tried to make me choose between Gionna and the Lost MC." Johnny says.
"And you chose her." Carly says, Johnny nodding.
"Then the whole club fell apart, became two halves and Billy's half ended up mostly being destroyed… I guess a few went to Trap Street. But Billy was killed, the clubhouse burnt down… then a little while later, we went our separate ways and I moved here to the south, you know the story from there." Johnny says.
"Yeah… I remember how mad Trevor got but he couldn't stop us." Carly says, Johnny wrapping his arms around her.
"I often remember what Sam said when we were in our younger days… 'with you two, it's like a building. You can damage it, rain a storm, turn it mad… but no matter what you do, in some form or another, the building always stays against everything.'." Johnny says, Carly smiling as she remembered some of the things Sam used to say.
Michelle snuck downstairs for a late night snack, seeing Carly and Johnny kissing.
"Jason wasn't kidding about you two." Michelle says, walking back upstairs.
"There are times I worry she's too much like you." Johnny says.
"Yeah… it's just… the hospital the other week, what Sachi had to do… it was almost exactly like me… I worry about what she'll become, she's obviously taking the same path as me." Carly says.
"Yeah except you didn't climb from building to building on a banner." Johnny says.
"And I was older than 12… in a way, she had it worse." Carly says.
"Yeah… it's getting late and… we don't want to fall asleep on the couch again." Johnny says, yawning a bit.
"It wouldn't be the first time." Carly says, both standing up and walking upstairs into their room, climbing into their bed.
Just as they dozed off however, a stone hit their window, Sam shouting at them through a megaphone.
"You two better just be sleeping!" Sam shouts.
"I don't know about them, but I bloody was!" Sachi shouts, Carly and Johnny trying not to laugh.
"Whoops! Sorry, kiddo!" Sam says.
"Either come inside, or bugger off because I'm tired!" Sachi shouts, Johnny and Carly struggling to hold in their laughter now.
Sam got back on her old quad and drove off, Sachi settling back into sleep.
"That's better… peace at last." Sachi says, Carly no longer able to hold in her laughter, setting Johnny off too. "Well… was nice while it lasted." Sachi says before carefully getting out of bed and walking to her door, closing it before getting back into bed and switching off the bedside lamp.
Sachi listened and heard the laughter stop before falling back asleep.
"We're a crazy family but… we wouldn't be normal if we weren't." Carly says quietly, drifting off into sleep with her head on Johnny's shoulder. "I love you, Johnny." She says, Johnny lightly stroking her hair.
"I love you too, Carly." Johnny says, closing his eyes and falling asleep.
