This is the end of the road, everything is now wrapped up a a nice neat little package. Thanks to everyone for the great reveiws, I enjoyed writing this.

Twelve-year-old Will Roberts ran into the Brady Pub to escape the cold winter weather. He took off his coat and brushed the snow from his hair, then looked over to the side of the pub to spot his parents. They were sitting on the same side of the booth, hands clasped on the table, and they were laughing. From where he was standing he could see the sparkle his mom's engagement ring gave off. His mom's engagement ring, that thought still gave him an incredibly giddy feeling. The last six months had been the best of his life.

All his family members and family friends had turned out to be alive last August. His Grandpa Roman and Grandma Marlena had gotten remarried in October, making his mother, Uncle Eric, and Aunt Carrie ecstatic. Granddad John and his new Grandma Isabella had renewed their vows about a month earlier. Isabella was great, she was always fun and loved his mom a lot. Grandpa John and his mom were getting along a lot better now. The first time he heard her call out "Love you" to John as he was leaving nearly made him faint, but now it seem normal.

Now, Sami and Grandma Kate were another story. They didn't start fights with each other anymore, well not much. Most of the time they just tried to ignore the other one, which was fine with him. It seemed Grandma had other things on her mind, like her newly reunited family. His dad was thrilled that Kate and Victor had gotten back together. They hadn't remarried yet, something about taking their time to make this one last, but she had moved back into the mansion.

Will vaguely remembered living with Mr. Kiriakis as a small child. He seemed nice enough, although very intimidating to the child that he once was. As long as the man made his grandmother happy and kept her away from his mom he figured everything had worked out for the best. Of course the really thrilling part of the past six months was his parents' reunion.

Ever since that mid-August day when his mother stepped off the rescue plane she had been living with them at his dad's apartment, which had become their apartment. His parents had sat him down the next day and explain what was going to happen. They were in love and he was overjoyed. From that day forward they had acted more lovey-dovey than he had ever seen them.

He pretended to be the normal grossed out pre-teen when they kissed, but secretly he was enjoying it. On his birthday, November 16th, his father had proposed during his family birthday party at the pub. All his Horton-Brady relatives had been there to witness the event and it had been the best birthday present he could ever ask for. His mother had tearfully accepted, and then in December they got the best news...

Before he could finish his inner musings, he caught sight of his mother as she spotted Shawn and Belle sitting down with Rex and Mimi. He went to sit with Lucas as she went over to hug her brother and sister, and their romantic counterparts. Shawn had returned to Salem when his grandfather, Victor, had named Jan Spears as his attempted murderess. They had discovered Shawn locked in a cage in her country home. The obviously unbalanced woman was now locked up in a mental institution, and Belle and Shawn had been together ever since.

His parents had bonded with Rex and Mimi over their shared pregnancies. Yup, that had been the good news he was thinking of, they had found out she was three months along in December. Mimi was about two months farther along and it showed. She was glowing, but his mom was absolutely radiant, then again he could be biased. Uncle Rex, Mimi, his mom, and dad had connected over Lamaze classes.

The bell over the door chimed again as Grandma Kate and Victor entered. His Uncle Philip and his new girlfriend Lori Jean, along with her young daughter Arianna, followed. Philip and Lori Jean had met through Mimi and had slowly started a relationship. They were completely in love now and Philip adored his girlfriend's daughter. Will could already see this was a long haul type of relationship. He looked around the room to see the rest of Salem had arrived.

His former stepmother, Nicole Walker, and Patrick Lockhart were over in the corner talking to Bonnie and Bart. Nicole and Patrick had been dating for a few months now and Bonnie and Bart were together as well. He didn't know much about Bart; just that his Dad had worked with him under Tony DiMera, but anyone could see Bart was completely smitten with Mimi and Patrick's mother.

Uncle Mickey and Aunt Maggie were chatting with Granddad John, Isabella, Brady, and Cassie. He wasn't sure what was going on between the younger two. They had been hanging around each other a lot, and Brady was always finding ways to touch his new Aunt way too much for it to be mere friendship. Jack, Jen, Abby, Great-Gram, Grandpa Roman, Grandma Marlena, Bo, Hope, Zack, and the rest of his large, gnarled family tree had gathered as well. At the bar, his Grandma Caroline had tapped her glass to get everyone's attention.

"Thank you, everyone, for coming to this little gathering. Shawn and I just wanted to celebrate the fact that this Valentine's Day we have our families intact. We are all truly blessed to have such a miracle granted to us. I know I'm grateful to be home with my husband and family. I'm even more grateful that Tony, Ernesto, Stefano, and Vivian are behind bars, all thanks to Bart over here."

Bart turned beet red as Bonnie squeezed his arm affectionately, "Aw shucks, Caroline, you're gonna give the old Bartmeister a big head."

"You did a wonderful thing, turning them over to the police, and we love you for it. I am happier than I've ever been and I just want to say that I am so grateful to be here and I love you all," she raised her glass, "Here's to miracles and a bright, beautiful future."

Will looked over at his parents' happy faces. His Dad had his arms around his mom from behind, their entwined hands resting on her five-month pregnant stomach. She was leaning into him, they looked so content and in love. He took a sip of his apple cider, toasting to miracles and bright futures. That was after all what his life had been filled with.
