A/N: Since this is the end, I'd like to thank every one of my reviewers.
I'm overjoyed and overwhelmed about the amount of reviews I got. Thanks!
Epilogue
Kevin ran his hand across his wife's headstone and sighed. A year had passed. Twelve long, painful months. He would never see her, hold her, or kiss her lips again. Kevin almost felt a yearning to go down there and rescue her, like in a fairy tale. He let out another deep sigh. Lucy would have loved that, to be Snow White and have her prince charming rescue her. But Kevin knew that would never happen. Lucy was dead.
Kevin looked down at his daughter, sleeping in his right arm. She was a year old today. Everyone said she had her Lucy's blonde hair and nose, and Kevin's brown eyes. Her birthday had the unfortunate burden of being the same day as her mother's death. It didn't help that she would never know her mother, and they would never be a family. He and Jessica could be a family, but Lucy would never be a part of it, not really.
"I wish you could have known her," said Kevin quietly to Jessica. "Your mother was amazing." He ran his left hand across the gravestone one last time before he turned to leave, tracing the engravement of her name with his fingers.
"We'll always love you, Luce."
