EPILOGUE
Jack is looking through their new family album.
He sees a photo that was taken just a few weeks after they got Willard.
It was of Jack and Ennis standing side by side, Ennis with his hat tucked low on his head,
You could barely see his face but you'd have to be completely blind to miss his huge smile.
Little Willard standing in front holding Jack's hand.
Jack of course smiling, His hat off and the sun was shining beautifully in the backdrop of the mountians.
It was a wonderful photo, Ennis's favorite.
Jack had thought to frame it and put it up on their bedroom nightstand.
No-one could believe whenever they were in town together that Little Willard was really thiers.
How could anyone in this day and age agree to let two men! adopt a child.
Jack would just roll his eyes and smile charmly.
They would then just walk off with a grunt.
To be truthfully honest, They didn't even have to adopt him cause Little Willard was already theirs.
See Jack no-matter how painful it was to think on had gotten this women pregant, Some lady he had meet in a bar, He had been asked to dance with her.. Not wanted to seem rude he excepted but after a hour of dancing and drinking They were out in her car.
By the morning He couldn't remember what happened..Now mind you this was before Ennis & Jack were together or at-least living they were both every once and awhile going out on dates with women..But of course this was worse then just a date, He had gotten her pregant.
He was afraid that Ennis would hate him if He ever found out so He didn't tell him, By the time they got a house unbelievable as it was.. Ennis actually wanted that sweet life,
So many years he had waited and wanted it and here the time was, Ennis said yes..
Jack wouldn't ruin it by saying he got some stranger pregant..
He knew if he did that Ennis would leave him and probabely never return.. No matter how much it hurt knowing there was this child, His child out there He couldn't put his life with Ennis in danger.. He had to keep it secret.
When Ennis had brought up kids one night, Jack thought of the women that night in the bar, He thought about his child somewhere out there, He told Ennis the truth, The truth that he had kept secret.
Ennis was angry but after a few days, He had settled down..He wanted Jack to contact this girl and for Jack to meet his child,Be in his life.. If Jack didn't Ennis was gonna leave him.
So Jack tracked her down and found out that he had a son. Willard Twist Newsome.
She had agreed to come and visit Jack at his home.
The visit went well, Jack had asked if he could have Willard here every so often, She had then whispered "if you want you can keep him, I love him, He's my son but it has ruined my family, My relationship with my father the most,
Him having a unmarried daughter with a child.." She stops takes a breath and then starts speaking again.
"I would just like you to send letters and tell him about me every once in awhile so he doesn't think I forgot about him.. "
Jack couldn't believe what he was hearing...
"Your his father, No-one can say he doesn't belong to you, To be here with you.. I'm gonna go now, I'll be back tomorrow morning"
Jack stood standing watching Willard with Ennis, They were painting a fence.
Wilard had loved it here and loved being with them but he missed his mother, After a few weeks though that changed.. They were a family, Willard didn't speak about his mother again not inless Jack brought it up.
A few months back they had gotten a surpise letter in the mail.
It was a letter from Miss Gabby.
She was alive and well, She just couldn't take living here anymore, She had drove and drove, She had found a little town in Maine that she liked, She felt alive here something she really didn't feel back at home, She was happy for the first time in a long time.
The letter goes on about how she had contacted her husband so she could see her children, He didn't allow it. It goes on more about how sad that made her and how much she missed them and if we ever saw them to hand them over this letter.
She then ends the letter saying that she meet a very special person, Their married and their happy very happy together.
And that's it, She does apologize for pushing Ennis that last day and goes on and says thank you for being her friends and she would love if she had us visit her.
"Well I'm glad she's doing good" Jack whispers to Ennis.
"Yep.."Ennis replies back.
" Let's go in huh, I think Williard needs something to eat" Jack catches Ennis with a kiss as soon as the words were out his month.
"I think I'm kinda hungry myself but not for food".
"Well That's gonna have to wait.. We have a child who needs food Huh" Ennis stats looking at Jack sternly.
"Alright..But later tonight your mine got it" Jack says.
"Sure Jack ...Sure" Ennis whispers while heading into the house.
The end.
