Disclaimer: I do not own the Days of our Lives characters. Do not sue me... please. I am a broke college student. I do own Andrea... I guess you could say I am borrowing the last name... oh well.

This is the final chapter! If you do not want to know the ending yet, do not read this! I'm doing it this way to keep the readers guessing about what happened to make things end up this way! : )

Author's Note: This chapter is written a bit differently than the others... there are less than 10 words spoken. The song lyrics below each scene are the part of the song that is playing during the scene. Please let me know what you think.

Sand and Water... and a million years gone by.

[Scene: Andrea in the bedroom of a hotel in Europe. Camera pans across the room to her, following her carrying clothes from the suitcase on the bed over to the chest of drawers. Walking back to the bed, she sits down, and with her head in her hands, starts to cry.]

[ Song Sand and Water by Beth Neilson Chapman starts playing as we watch Andrea cry.]

All alone I didn't like the feeling
All alone I sat and cried
All alone I had to find some meaning
In the center of the pain I felt inside

------------------

[Scene: Tony standing in front of the fireplace, facing the burning fire in the mansion. Camera zooms in slowly from the back and rotates to zoom in on his face. He looks as if he is going to cry.]

All alone I came into this world
All alone I will someday die
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
Sand and water, and a million years gone by

------------------

[Scene: Alternating shots of Andrea and Tony. Andrea wipes away her tears, and finishes unpacking. She pulls out the last item: a picture of her, Tony, and their 4-year-old son, Noah. Cut to: Tony walks over to a table and picks up the same picture. We see a tiny smile form and a single tear fall.]

I will see you in the light of a thousand suns
I will hear you in the sound of the waves
I will know you when I come, as we all will come
Through the doors beyond the grave

------------------

[Scene: Camera shows Andrea getting up off of the bed. The camera pans down to show Noah playing on the floor with Matchbox cars. We see a single tear slide down her face and hear her whisper the name "Tony". Cut to: split-screen of Andrea and Tony both clutching the picture to their chests.]

All alone I heal this heart of sorrow
All alone I raise this child
Flesh and bone, he's just
Bursting towards tomorrow
And his laughter fills my world and wears your smile

------------------

[Scene: We see Andrea sit back to down on the bed, as her cell phone begins to ring. We can clearly see the caller id: it is Tony. Andrea smiles a little, and answers it.]

Andrea: Hello?

[Cut to: split-screen: Andrea and Tony]

All alone I came into this world
All alone I will someday die
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby

Tony: I love you...

[Andrea and Tony both smile as the final line of the song is sung.]

Sand and water and a million years gone by
