Ok, again...this is short, but coupled with the last chapter, all should be well ;) This is where the story ends. Hope it fulfills all of your expectations! I'd still love reviews, so let me know what you think!!! enjoy!

Seven years later........


Aunt Ren, what is this scar on your back?
I was sitting by the pool with my niece, Sara, Grissom, and my husband. I started to answer the question, when Sara answered it for me.
That when your aunt risked her life to save mine. She said with tears in her eyes.
So you're a hero? COOL!
I guess I am, Kennedy. But your mom was definitely worth it.
With that, the adorable four year old grabbed my husband and my brother-in-law and drug them to the pool.

Smart kid, my daughter. You are a hero, sweetie, Sara said
Well, I don't consider it an act of heroism, just wanting to save my sister. And I'd do it again in a second. I mean that. All the pain and complications all seemed to disappear when I realized that Sara was going to be ok.

She grabs my hand and just sit here for a while, just watching Kennedy and our husbands play in the pool. We are savoring our connection, trying to make up for time we didn't get to spend together growing up. I rub my swollen belly and smile. Kennedy and my daughter will grow up like sisters, they'll get to have the childhood we didn't have. I still can't believe that we've made it here, Sara in full remission, me having a child. Our strength pulled us through. That, and knowing that we would always be connected.

Just think, not too long from now, my little girl will be out there, too. I say.
So, have you two decided on a name yet? Or is she to grow up without a name?? Sara asks playfully.
Well, Sara Grace, I figured I'd return the favor and name her after you. But we'll call her Gracie. There isn't enough room for two Sara's in sin city! Ever since Sara and Grissom had named their child Kennedy, my last name, I'd planned on naming my first daughter after my beautiful sister. Connor, my husband, had no complaints. He knows how much my sister means to me.

We both laugh and join our family in the pool, realizing our lives couldn't get any better.

-the end.
