Author Note: I decided not to make anything go wrong with Matt, I was never going to kill him (I love matt), but I was going to have a complication. I think that would be too much though, so this is the last official chapter, but I will do an epilogue type thing where I will paste the song lyrics and stuff after this!
Disclaimer: I don't own 7th Heaven or the characters, only the plot.

Matt's POV
I began opening my eyes as I woke up. I was in Lucy's room just like the doctor said I would be, after the surgery. Our beds were pushed together and her head was resting on my shoulder. My arm was around her. She was still sleeping. I was so tired I just continued laying there. I felt her stir lightly.
"Matt?" she called, softly. I turned around so that I faced her.
"Luce,"
"Matt, is it all over?"
"Yeah, you did it."
"No, we did it." I smiled.
"How do you feel?"
"Fine… how about you?"
"I'm ok." The doctor walked in.
"Are you guys up for some visitors?" He asked us, "There are five people outside who really want to see yall." Lucy's face lit up. I knew she would be excited to see everyone. We told him to let them in. Mom and Dad came in first. Mom ran to Lucy and Dad ran to me. My mother was at Lucy's side crying and going on and on about how happy she was that we were ok. My Dad came over to me and gave me a playful punch on the shoulder.
"That's my boy," he said proudly. Then my parents switched. My dad wrapped Lucy in his arms and my mom kissed my forehead. Before I knew it Mary, Simon, and Ruthy all came in. We all shared hugs. Mary ran over to Lucy and talked about how worried she was when she found out Lucy was in the hospital. My parents had gotten her from basketball camp and told her when they went to pick her up. She was happy that Lucy was ok. They were pretty close and I knew how hard it would be on one of them to lose the other. Then she came over to me.
"So, you put your life at risk to save Luce…You were always a great big brother, I'm so happy you guys are ok." She told me. Ruthy climbed on the bed and sat herself on my lap.
"Ruthy," my mom began, "Matt is tired he just got out of surgery and we need to be gentle ok."
"It's ok Mom," I told her, "I'm always happy to have Ruthy sit on my lap." Ruthy smiled a big smile and cuddled up to me.
"I'm glad you guys are ok too." She said loudly, so that everyone knew she meant it.
"Yeah, me too," Simon said, "We need you two around here all of you." He came over and I gave him high-five. We had that great big brother, little brother relation ship.
"Well, where would I be with out my little bro!" I asked him. I smiled and then went over to Lucy to hug her.
We all shared many rounds of hugs. It was a great feeling to have the whole family there. We were all together. We would always be together, through the good times and the bad times. Our family could never be torn apart. We cared about each other, loved each other, and would do anything for each other. We were lucky… To always have people you could turn to, to always have home, and to always have each other.
A/N: Sorry it took a little longer for this chapter, the epilogue will be up ASAP!
