Epilogue
Three years later.
Rhythm sat on the steps of the Lodging House, waiting for Jack to come down with Race they were the last ones to leave. The two friends were getting little Ginger ready for the night at Brooklyn.
She sat there thinking of what had happened three years earlier. Spot was doing ok but he had never fully recovered from the loss, and she didn't think he ever would, she knew she wouldn't. Their lived had changed so much that night and yet they hadn't.
Spot was still the leader of Brooklyn and Jack was still the leader of Manhattan. They still went to the newsie fair ever month and still sold papers seven days a week. But they were more carefully of what they did and said. Spot had given up fighting and so did Jack. They were still highly respected, so fighting wasn't much of a problem.
They were more careful of the people around them and of the people they trusted. Danny was gone and his gang was in prison. Sarah had been so frightened at the thought of jail she had run away and they had not seen her since. Her family was holding up ok. Davie and Les were still newsies three days a week and the rest of the week they went to school.
Jack and Rhythm were married and had a wonderful little girl, named Ginger, after her parents' friend. When Rhythm had found out that she was pregnant a few weeks after her wedding she and Jack went straight to Spot and asked if they could use Ginger's name if it was a girl. He had said of course and 9 months later Ginger Vanessa Kelly was born.
It was a fine Tuesday evening and Jack and Race came running down the stairs. Jack was holding his little girl in his arms and making funny faces at her.
"Jack how many times do I's gotta tell youse not to do dat, one day she's gonna fall."
Jack stopped when he heard Rhythm's voice and smiled at her.
"Well I wouldn't have done dat if I's had none youse were here." He said and she took Ginger from him.
"Mommy, Mommy!" The little girl squealed as her mother took her from Jack.
"That's right you get youse father to carry youse like dat wit dat beautiful smile of yours."
"She gets it from her mother." Jack said smiling at Rhythm.
"Ok guy's dats enough its poker night at Brooklyn and I's got a feeling I's gonna win!!" Race said as he started to head down the road.
"Youse wish, loser I will open a can of whoop ass on youse if youse don't keep quite." Jack said and started to follow him with Rhythm at his side."
The three started to argue over who was going to win as they walked towards Brooklyn and the future, no one knew what it had in store for them but the would do the best they could, all of them would, all the newsies would. They had to, they were all a family, and nothing could change that not even a poker game.
