A/N: I was overwhelmed by the reviews. Most of them were positive, and it made me really happy. But this is the final chapter, unless you want me to write an epilogue?

Note for reviewers:

Me: Really? I had no idea. I know about the whole Alice Merrick signing the papers, but I forgot, and it might be a little unrealistic, but hey it's my story. And it might get a little boring to read about practically the same. – Scott needed his father's signature as well. I had no idea about the whole Dark Angel; I loved that show, but never got to watch all the episodes.

Everyone else: Thx for the reviews!

Surgery day:

Scott was lying in a hospital bed, they were going to operate in just half an hour.. He had requested to live in the same room as Shelby.

"Scott if you regret now, I completely understand.." Shelby said, she was trying to talk him out of it.

"I don't, and I never will. Cause I know that you will my life for me. You will become this amazing woman, have kids, and get married. You will live the life that I could never have, unless I was with you."

"Then, what makes you think that I can live this life, without you?" Shelby asked.

"Because I'm begging you to. I want you to marry, I want you to have a career, and I want you to have kids. If it makes you feel better, then please. Do it for me, like I'm doing this for you, even though, you don't agree or want me to, I'm doing this, for you…"

"Knock knock…"

"Come in…" Scott said.

"Mr. Barringer? We are ready when you are…" The doctor said.

"Thank you, I'm ready…" Scott replied.

"Well then the nurses will come and get you any minute now. And Ms. Merrick, are you ready? You need to be there, so we can give you the heart, as soon as we get it out of Mr. Barringer."

"You want me to watch!" Shelby asked.

"No, you will not be watching, you will not be feeling it either, you will just be there…" The doctor explained and walked out again.

"Scott I can't! I simply can't do this…"

"Yes you can.. You can do this…" Scott said and looked Shelby in the eye.

The nurses came in later, to take them to the OR. Shelby felt like crying. They said possibly goodbye, and went straight to the OR.

They were now in the OR, and they were about to start operating, when Scott said: "Wait."

"Yes?" The nurse asked.

"Shelby, do you promise?"

"Promise?" Shelby asked.

"What we talked about earlier, you live our lives for us…" Scott said. Shelby couldn't hold it back anymore, tears began to roll down her cheeks.

"Yes, yes.. I promise." She said, and Scott smiled.

Scott laid back down, and took Shelby's hand from the other surgery 'bed'.

"I love you… And I always will." Scott said.

"I love you too…" Shelby said with tears…

They were holding hands through the whole surgery…

After 3 hours, the doctor finally came out.

"How did it go!" They all asked.

"Well. It went fine. Pretty much successful." The doctor said.

"Pretty much!" They all said suspiciously.

"Yes, Scott.. Is well he's dead. But Shelby's alive. She was about to give up during the surgery, but she kept fighting, and she's alive. And it looks like she is really healthy, even though Scott used to take drugs, I don't think it will affect Shelby's future life…" They were all speechless, Scott was no longer alive… But Shelby was, they had no idea whether they should cry, or scream of happiness.

There was silence until Alice Merrick showed up…

"Where have you been!" Jess yelled.

"I have been out, where's Shelby.." Alice answered.

"What if she was dead? What if, your daughter had died and you were OUT, so you never got the chance to say goodbye to her?" Jess asked her mother.

"Shelby's what!" Alice asked.

"She's fine, but she could've been dead. And you were just out?" Jess said with disappointment.

"Could you possibly let it go Jess! Now is not the time to make a scene!" Alice said.

"No, no I can't. I just understand Shelby, all our lives, you've been out! And when something ever happened you were always late… You always gave us the excuse, you had been out. FOR 2 WEEKS! Do you even care about us at all!" Jess yelled.

"Jess, shut up. Don't you dare giving me a lesson in how to be a parent!" Alice said.

"Well we all agree with her!" Sophie said.

"Who are you!" Alice asked.

"Your daughter's teacher and friend. And to me Shelby's like the daughter I never had. The daughter you abandoned…" Sophie finished.

After another hour Mr. Barringer came to the hospital.

"Where's my son!" He said.

"Oh, your son, do you remember him now?" Auggie asked.

"Don't play smart kid, you're not old enough for that." Mr. Barringer answered.

"Well I am.." Peter stepped in and said.

"Mr. Scarbrow, if you don't tell me where my son is, I will sue you!"

"Go ahead. I don't think it will change much, cause he's not here anymore."

"What do you mean he's not here anymore!" Mr. Barringer asked. Ezra stepped in and punched Mr. Barringer in his face.

"That means he'd dead you ass!" He said, and walked back to group.

"How dare you hit me!" Mr. Barringer said, and was going to hit Ezra back, if it weren't for Peter.

"If you touch him…" Peter said. He wasn't a guy who used to treat people, but Mr. Barringer was an ass!

"Fine, will someone tell me what the fck is going on!" He demanded.

"What's there to tell! Your son sacrificed his life, for someone he loved, and he didn't even bother to tell you. Don't you think that tells quite a lot about how he felt about you!" Sophie said.

"My son what!"

"Yes, he did, what you never would've done for him. Gave someone he loved his heart. You didn't even do it mentally. Thank God, this isn't: Like father like son, huh?" Sophie snapped…

Days went and Shelby was finally ready to leave the hospital. It was the day of Scott's funeral. Shelby got dressed, and they would all drive to the church to burry him.

Auggie, Peter, Ezra, and despite a few critical comments, Mr. Barringer were carrying Scott's coffin.

"We are gathered here to say goodbye to this honoured man, Scott Barringer. Would anyone like to say something?"

"Yes…" Tracy said.

"Scott, you were and will always be loved by me, and I'm sure by a lot of other people. May you rest in peace, my boy…" Tracy finished and tears continued to fall from her eyes.

"Thank you Tracy. Anyone else?"

"Yes." Peter said.

"This speech was written by everyone at Horizon. Even Juliette. Scott, we knew you as a troubled kid, but you changed. You changed the moment you found the love of your life. We are so proud of you, and we are so pleased to have met you, to have spend time with you… May you rest in peace…" Peter and Sophie finished.

"Thank you, if there are no more…" The minister said.

"Wait, I have something I want to say…" Shelby said. "Scott I…" Her tears ran down her cheeks. "I can't tell you what it meant for me, that you were willing to sacrifice your life, for me… Our time together was short, but it was the happiest moments of my life. I promised you, that I would live our lives for us, and I still stand by that promise… But it doesn't take away the pain. It simply doesn't… I wish you were here, here to help me through my life, instead you let me in charge of it all. I don't know if I can, but I'm going to do my absolute best, because I love you… And I always will… You were the love of my life, rest in peace…"

These were the words on Scott's gravestone:

A dearly beloved man;
Scott Barringer.
Died for the love of his life,
May he rest in peace…

A/N: This is the end of this story… I hope you all liked it, cause I found it pretty difficult to write, I mean. I've never written about a funeral. I hope the so-called speeches were fine. I also hope that I touched some people. Cause I was about to let a tear slip myself. Pathetic? Maybe, but that's me… And I might write an epilogue, what do you think? – If I write an epilogue I can end this story a little more positive? Oh and I hope I didn't make the parents look too bad :S Please Review!
