Epilogue:

The conversation was heavy. Jamie didn't want to believe it at all, and Ben wished to deny the entire story, but Annalisse told them what she has told Rocky. Colt was mortified, he couldn't believe that to be the truth but at the same time he was relieved that at least part of his blood was a Douglas. Especially on Grandpa's side.

John could only lower his head in shame at what his father had done, he didn't know what to say. John knew that Colt would want nothing more than to be with the Douglas family rather than his own, and he would miss him desperately. It was nice to have someone around to talk to and hang out with that wasn't younger than him- or his sister.

Jeremy was confused to no measure, he didn't understand that his father could be with some other woman and with his Mom. He didn't understand how Jefferson didn't belong with their family. It made him cry, he ran upstairs to his room with Anna at his heals to comfort him.

Jamie remained silent.

After a good hour or so, Ben began to shout. He made claims that he didn't expect things to go the way they did, he wasn't in the right mind. But no one wanted to hear it.

Then finally, Jamie began to scream. She screamed at her husband and beat on him with her fist pounding in rage, she screamed at Rocky for interfering in their lives, she yelled at Colt to an extent until she finally collapsed on the couch in tears. It had all sunk in that, not only was she losing a son all over again, but she never got to know the one she had lost in the first place. She never got to morn him, now she'll never know what happened to her child, her Jefferson.

Rocky was quiet through the whole ordeal, he was planning on what he was going to say to his family. Their mother will be so happy, and their family might even get their good name back. Tum will stop getting into fights- who knows, everything might start to get back into order. But when he watched his brother go over to Jamie and hug her, he felt tears. It didn't sink in that this family would suffer any in the absents of Colt's presence, he had only been with them for a month and some days. From what Anna said, he was a pain in the butt, but this display here said otherwise.

"I'm sorry Jamie... you were a good mother," Colt looked the woman in the eyes. "I never meant to be such a jerk to you guys, honest."

"You just..." she never finished her sentence, her tears were too violent with sobs.

"Jamie... I..." Colt brushed his hand past his tears. "I can't say that I plan on staying with you guys but," he hesitated a moment, he didn't want to get the woman too hopeful. "I'll visit, I really like this family, John and Annalisse and Jeremy... I like you and Ben too."

"But why would you do that... you're not my son." Jamie uncovered her eyes and looked into Colt's.

"Because despite the jerk I've been, you guys never pushed me to change."

The sobbing woman scoffed at this. "I did."

"Yeah but, what mother wants to hear their son mouthing off to them or getting into fights at the mall." Colt shook Jamie's shoulders, trying to coax a smile from her. "You scared me Jamie, and that's not an easy task... I really care about you."

Sniffling back her tears, she threw her arms around the son in her heart- not just Colt but Jefferson, the real Jefferson. "I love you so much, and please remember us."

"I will."

"And you'll visit soon?" She looked hopeful.

"Haha, right after the holidays, I promise."

Rocky looked to Ben, who stands at the corner of the room. He has dread in his heart, he can't help but feel a few tears himself. Everything he had tried to hide just blew up in his face over night. It was all his fault, and he should have never told his daughter such a big secret. She never could have kept it to herself for very long, and he was wrong for thinking she could- or should.

Ben turned his head when he saw Rocky approaching. "What more do you want?" He asked flatly.

"I want my brother back... I'm gonna call my house and let my family know what happened... Sir, you have nothing to be ashamed of... affairs happen all the time." He tried to be empathetic, but he had a hard time stomaching what he had heard too. He needed his time to take it all in, but that would have to wait, he wanted this all over as soon as it could be done.

With the sounds of Jamie crying softly and Colt comforting her filling the air, Rocky turned away to leave, but stopped as John stepped into his path. "John, don't do this." He warned.

"You... better let my brother see this family." He stammered the words out, on the verge of tears his self.

Rocky frowned looking into the males eyes. He saw so much of his self in John from just the short time they had spent in each others company. He even thinks that they could have been friends if they met under different circumstances. "John, what Colt does is his own business, I can't stop him from doing what he wants." Glancing over his shoulder at his brother, he then looks back at John. "But he's already stated that he still wants to get to know your family. What more do you want?"

"Ha, calm as the summer breeze." It was hard to tell if the boy were mocking Rocky or complimenting him. "You're just like Jeff said you are." Holding out a hand, he smiled. "I can't be mad at you for getting a job done... if the roles were reversed, I'd of done the same thing."

Rocky took John's hand and gave it a shake. "Thanks... I think."

Stepping aside, John pats Rocky's shoulder. "See you when he comes to visit?"

That took him by surprise, Rocky thought it over. It was kind of strange to tell the truth, but he didn't see any harm in it. "Why not, besides, Anna seems to like me and it's never been my style to flirt without following through."

"Hey watch it, she's still my sister." He teased.

"Bye John." Walking out the door, he closed it behind him.

The next course of action took a months worth of time. The court dates that were set, the arrangements that were made. The screams and yells, accusations. Pressing charges; Sabrina's release date. It would make a persons head spin.

But through it all Colt remained the same. And when it was time to say goodbye, he was standing outside of the door to the McRae home. His half family standing before him as well. They had used what time wasn't spent in court getting to know the the Jeffrey behind Jefferson's mask and they found they liked him a lot better. Jamie still cried at night for her son, but she forgave her husband in the end and decided that a divorce wasn't going to happen.

"Aaaw you guys, why'd you make me like you in the end."

"Real nice Jeff," mutters Anna.

"I knew you'd be the first to say something, so I'll say good bye to you the person who'll miss me most." He hugged his sister. "You know, we really do look a lot alike- ugly me." He laughed.

Annalisse shoved out of his hug, though she had a playful smile on her face. "You're such a jerk. But, I'll miss you too- though, not as much as Tasha."

"Yikes, I forgot about her..."

"Must have been the best few moments of your life." John commented.

Colt laughed at that. "I love you sis,"

"I love you too." She hugged him again.

"I don't want you to go," Jeremy cried. "You said you'd teach me guitar."

"And I will." He knelt down to be eye level with him. "Here, I got this for you,"

"A guitar pick... cool!"

"This way you'll always remember, and since that one is my favorite I'll always know."

Jeremy smiled at his brother and embraced him. "Thanks Jeff, I'll miss you."

"You too squirt." He ruffled the boys hair as he stood. Going over to his brother, he smiled. "Johnny boy."

"Hey don't start. You gotta be a man with me." He pulled him into a hug.

"Hahaha, you scarecrow, I'll miss the most."

"Diddo."

Pulling away from them, he looked at Jamie and frowned. "Don't be like that, you're gonna make me sad."

"I'm sorry, I know I said I wouldn't cry but..." She curled into herself to cry.

Colt hugged her, and rocked her back and forth. "I'll be here... anytime."

"I know."

And that was all they could say, anymore would resort to full blown tears from the woman.

"Dad... I'll see you around."

"Yeah, goodbye son."

"Good bye." Shaking his hand, Ben pulled Colt into a hug and pats his sons back. "Take care."

"I will." Pulling away, he waved a hand to his family and walked to the waiting cab that would take him home. His real home. Once inside he closed the door and sat back, relaxing a bit.

"Heeey, I remember you."

"Hahaha, any chance you're a kidnapper lookin' for some quick cash?"

"Not a chance." The man started away from the curb to take Colt to the airport.

So whatever happened to Jeffery? He set a little baby free that had been waiting to live on for ages. And he brought his self home.

THE END
