25. The End

Authors Note: Sadly, we have approced the last chapter *cries* I hope you liked my story..

-10 Years Later-

The door bell to the Girardi house rang, and Helen walked into the living room, opening the door.

"Hey mom," Kevin said, wheeling himself into the house. Rebecca and their nine year old son, Jason, followed.

"Kevin, Rebecca, I'm glad you two could make it!" Helen said. She hugged the three, then looked down at Jason.

"Liz, Chris and Evian are in the kitchen," she told him as her went off to see his cousins.

"I better go make sure they aren't destroying the kitchen," Helen said, walking into the kitchen.

"Kevin! Rebecca!" Joan yelled, running downstairs. She and Rebecca hugged, and she kissed her brother's cheek.

"Hey Joan," Kevin said. "How's the family?"

"Well.. It's not boring.. Adam sold three sculptures last week, Elizabeth's going through the drama of being in fifth grade, and Chris may only be in third grade, but he already reminds me of Adam, a lot," Joan said.

"I know what you mean," Rebecca said with a laugh.

"Kevin? Rebecca? Can you two help me in here?" Helen called.

"Sure mom," Kevin said, following Rebecca into the kitchen. Joan went back upstairs to her old bedroom and opened the door.

"It's weird being back isn't it?" Luke asked from behind her.

"Yeah. I haven't lived here for eight years. Well, ten if you count when I was living in the dorms. It's sort of creepy that nothing's changed," Joan told her brother, walking into her room which looked the same as it did back in highschool.

"It's like walking into a gap in the space time continium.." Luke said, stepping into Joan's room after her.

"Space time continium?" Joan asked.

"He may be twenty seven, but he's still a nerd Joan," Grace, who had appered in the door way, said. Joan laughed.

"That is true," she said. Grace stepped into Joan's room and sat down on her desk chair, while Joan and Luke sat on the bed.

"I don't believe mom devised this crazy reunion thing," Joan said, picking up a pillow. "They shouldn't allow her to have ideas."

"I think it's sort of cool, yo," Adam said, stepping into the room.

"Believe whatever you need to," Joan told him.

"Joan, Luke, Adam, Grace! Dinner!" Helen yelled upstairs.

Will Girardi, Helen Girardi, Kevin Girardi, Rebecca Girardi, Joan Rove, Adam Rove, Luke Girardi and Grace Girardi somehow managed to squeeze around the dining room table that night, but Jason Girardi, Elizabeth Rove (junior), Chris Rove and Evian Girardi, being normal kids, didn't even attempt it. The four kids had escaped the adults and headed for the living room.

"Just sitting around the table talking about what they did all day? How can they stand that boring stuff?" nine year old Liz asked her cousins.

"They're old, they're weird, go figure," ten year old Evian said.

"Unchallenged," eight year old Chris said. Evian raised her eyebrow in a very Grace like manner.

"You're just like your father. Only shorter," she told him.

"Well, you're just like your mother, only shorter," Chris countered.

"Can't you two ever get along?" Jason asked.

"Yeah," Liz agreed.

"No, we can't," Chris and Evian said together as the doorbell rang. The four looked in the dining room. No one appeared to have heard it. Liz stood up and walked over to the door, opening it. A tall, cute teenager was standing there in a brown coat. He looked down at her.

"Hello Elizabeth." Liz stared up at him.

"Hi?" she asked.

"I'm a friend of your mothers. Could you get her for me?" Liz nodded, then yelled for her mom. Joan walked into the living room.

"Hm?" she asked. Then she looked up at the person standing in the doorway.

"You!" she said, stepping outside and closing the door behind her.

"Long time no see," Joan said.

"Yes, it has been awhile," God said.

"It's a little creepy that you don't age.." Joan pointed out. God laughed a little.

"Joan, I came here to say good-bye," God said.

"Seriousally?" she asked.

"Yes Joan, seriousally. You've grown up, it's time to move on to greater things." Joan laughed.

"I worked for God. I don't think you can go up from there. So, are you going back.. Up there? Or will I like, turn the corner and bam, there's God?"

"You haven't seen the last of me, I'll tell you that. Nor has Elizabeth," God said.

"You're going to start talking to Elizabeth?" Joan asked.

"It runs in the family Joan. And if you ever need anything, I'm always listining," God said, walking down the steps, giving his signature wave. The front door opened and Adam stepped out on the porch. He wrapped his arms around Joan's waist from beind.

"Hey, what were you doing out here?" he asked.

"Saying good-bye to an old... erm... friend.." Joan told him. "Hey, we'd better get back in there before Kevin eats all of our food." She turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him.

"I love you Adam Rove," she said.

"I love you Joan Rove," he told her. She smiled.

"I like it when you called me Jane." he took her hand.

"Jane it is then," he told her as they walked back into the Girardi house.

The same with Joan and Adam's son, who's Chris, as in Christopher Marquette. What can I say, no one ever said that I was unpredictiable.
