Epilog
Hoot walked into the backyard which was filled with the family, in the back he saw Lucy sitting in a chair talking to her mother and sister. He still couldn't believe that it was 2 years already that they had come back form Somalia. That first time he had seen her after he had been captured he had known for sure that he loved her with all his hart and never wanted to be without her. That day, when she had walked up to him in the infirmary he had asked her to marry him. Two weeks after they had gotten back they had married. Lucy sensed that someone was looking at her and turned her head, she saw Hoot standing on the porch looking at her with that little smile he sometimes had on his face when he looked at her. She loved him so much. When she had seen him lying in that hospital bed after Todd had found him, she had felt the life draining back into her. Since she had hear of his death all her feelings had slowly seeped out of her but the second she had heard his voice a warmth had spreads through her. The fist couple of minutes she couldn't speak because she had been crying. When she had calmed down she had sat beside him holding his hand while he told her all he had been through. She had cried again when he asked her what she was doing in Somalia and told him that she had hoped to find distraction from the emptiness she had felt after she had 'buried' him. He had raised himself of the bed and took her in his arms cradling and comforting her, all the while placing little kisses on her forehead. He had turned to her and told her how much he loved her and that he was sorry for all that she had been through. She had laid her head on his shoulder and just held him for what seemed to be like for ever. Eventually he had sat her up and took her hands in his, looked straight into her eyes and asked her to marry him.
Todd walked across the yard with a small one year old boy in his hands, the kid held a ball in his hands that Todd had given to him. He looked at Simone and smiled, the had been married for almost 3 years now and he could honestly say he was still madly in love with his wife. After they had returned the both of them had agreed that she would start to build on a base career, which meant she wouldn't have a chance of being sent out anymore. They had wanted to start family and that was what, to both of their enjoyment, what they had been working on. The day that he had found Hoot his life had been complete again. He and Simone had left the infirmary and sat outside. Simone had cried, happy for her sister and relieved that Todd had come back to her in one piece. He had whipped the tears from her face and kissed her, paying no attention to all the men looking at them.
Simone looked away from her sister and looked at Todd, he looked so good holding that little boy. She loved her husband very much and knew that feeling would never go away, they had their little arguments and al that but no matter what happened she loved him none the less. Todd saw that Simone was looking at him and walked over to her and kissed her. The boy in his arms started to wriggle and move around. "Oh you've gotten your toy an now want to go back to your mommy huh?" He said smiling to the boy. "Ok then of to mommy it is then!" He held the boy up for a minute while he shrieked with pleasure and than handed the boy to his mother. Lucy smiled when she took her son from Todd. "You spoil him to much." She said before kissing her son on the forehead. "Well that is what godfathers do, I'll expect you and Hoot to do the same for your future godchild you know." Todd said smiling before he put his hand on Simone's round stomach. He couldn't wait to be a father.
The General observed his family from behind the barbecue, he was happy that everything had turned out all right. Both his daughters were happy and that was what mattered. He looked at his daughters and sons in law, the whole brat pack stood together talking and laughing.
