"Dad Is Chris coming?" Justin asked

"Yes and he is bringing Cameron"

"Good because he promised me we would play football"

"That sounds like fun"

"Dad, Dad"

"What is it Faith?"

"I was overhearing something"

"What else is new"

"Nothing"

"No know Faith it's not nice to ears drop on people personal conversations"

"It's a hobby. Any way Alex and Ashlee just planed their wedding date"

"I think she should tell us herself"

"I don't"

Chris is here with his wife and kid.

"Hi dad"

"Hey Chris"

"Grandpa"

"Hey Cameron"

"He is only 10 months and he talking" Chris said

"That's good. Where is Rach?"

"I am right here"

"Where is Ashlee and Alex?"

"Wedding Plans" Faith blurted out

"It sound like you have been ears dropping" Rachel said

"Yeah"

"That's not nice," Chris said

"It's a hobby". Ashlee comes out with Alex

"Dad we having a wedding date" Ashlee said in excitement "Oh hi Chris Rachel and Cameron"

"Hey" Chris and Rachel said

"Whats the date?" Landon asked

"Next March"

"What date?" Faith asked

"That's great"

"Really?"

"She would have loved it"

"I know" Ashlee said

"We wanted to do that in honor of her memory" Alex said

"That would be great"

"We know" Alex and Ashlee said

Couple of hours later the fireworks were about to begin and they are sitting on their front lawn

"Honey" Chris, said

"Yeah"

"I want to tell you something"

"What is it?"

"You changed my life in a good way. I will always love you"

"I love you too" Rachel and Chris kissed

Ashlee and Alex looked at them

"I want what they have," Alex said

"So do I"

"Do you want kids?" Alex asked

"Hell yeah"

"Good"

"You don't have you wit long"

"How long would we have to wait?"

"9 months"

"Your pregnant?" Alex shouted

"Are you?" Landon asked

"Yeah"

Everyone was hugging and kissing her. Then the fireworks started. Landon was looking up at the sky and saying to himself

"The last 5 years were tough. I know you are in my heart always and forever. Hope you are proud of your kids as much as I am" Then Landon heard something

I'll always remember

"Did you hear that?" Landon said

"No" They all said

It was late afternoon

It lasted forever

And ended to soon

You were all by yourself

Staring up at a dark gray sky

And I was changed

"No on hears this?" Landon asked

"Dad its fireworks everyone hears it" Justin said

Landon was saying to Jamie again

"I hope you are happy up there. I promise I will see you again."

The End!
