A/N: Originally said I had 4 of these in mind. This is the last one of those, but I have two more to write out.

Timeline: After 1/12/12 episode (finale) once John and Natalie both make it back to the apartment.


John walked into his apartment and smiled at the sight before him-Natalie moving between an opened bag on the bed and a drawer of the dresser that was being filled again with her clothes. He loved the idea of her living here again-the space was always so quiet and empty without her.

He gave a cough and watched as she turned to look at him and began smiling, "Hey-where's Liam?"

"Spending time with Grandma Roxy. I thought she needed a pick me up with Fraternity Row going off today and then Rex leaving town as well."

John nodded, having received a couple texts from Natalie throughout out the day giving him insight of what her day had included. "I was thinking-we need to start looking into a house."

"A house?" she asked, remembering how they brought it up once-long before the wedding even-but nothing ever came of it.

"Yeah, a house," he said as he walked over towards her and couldn't help but give her a kiss. "This place is going to get really small really fast with a toddler in here. Plus, I think he probably needs better nutrition than takeout."

Natalie laughed, "That's true. So what are you thinking?"

"Something not too far from the station-maybe halfway between there and Llanfair. We could have a basement and move the pool table from Rodi's there-get a new one for Rodi's."

Natalie shook her head, "No. No basement. I made a promise to myself that I'd never spend more time in one of those than necessary."

John gave a nod at understanding her fear, "Ok. No basement. Maybe a bonus room then for the pool table."

"And a backyard for Liam to play in. This is going to sound silly, but none of the places that Roxy and I lived in really had a backyard for me to run around in."

"Not silly at all," he said as he heart hurt for young Natalie once again. "So how did your story end?" he asked.

Natalie smiled, "You were right. Everyone got their happy ending," she said and leaned up to press her lips to his.
