A/N: Thanks for all the wonderful reviews and the back-up throughout this story guys! You have no idea how much it means to me. This is the last chapter of this story.

So, enjoy this one! Love you guys!

Thirty years after The Contest
'Kyan, can you get Neela's diaper changed?'
The whole Rabb family was gathered for Harm and Mac's thirtieth anniversary. Harm and Mac were sitting on a bench in their back yard, happily watching all the commotion around them. Their three children, Jahzara, Kyan and Faith, their spouses and their four grandchildren were occupying the garden and everything around it.
Bud and Harriet came walking out of the kitchen, having insisted that they would organize the party and help set everything up. From all their four children, only their oldest AJ hadn't been able to attend because he was stationed oversees. But he had called to congratulate his godparents on their anniversary.
Twenty-seven-year-old Kyan Rabb took his little girl over from his wife. 'You're always having me do the dirty jobs huh?'
His wife, Ashley, smiled at him. 'Well, you have to do something. You're not the one who carried her for nine months and you're not the one who delivered her either. So…'
'I get it, I get it'. Kyan rolled his eyes and disappeared inside.
Jahzara Montgomery-Rabb swatted her husbands arm. 'David Montgomery! Keep your hands of the cake! You look like your five-year-old!'
David grinned at her. 'That's exactly why he is my son honey'.
'Mommy, Uncle Jimmy told me that I'm a little brat and that I look just like you'. Four-year-old Faye Paulsson looked up to her mother.
Nikki Paulsson-Roberts rolled her eyes at her older brother. 'Don't listen to him honey. Uncle Jimmy has no idea what he's talking about!' That last part was clearly directed at Jimmy who grinned from his place on the other side of the garden.
Ben and Carrie Montgomery ran over to their grandparents. 'Grandpa, can you tell us about the TV show again? Please?' Carrie looked up to Harm with her mothers ocean-colored eyes.
Harm rolled his eyes. 'Are you sure you want hear that story again Carrie?'
'Please Grandpa!'
'All right then'. Harm lifted her in his lap and started to tell his granddaughter the story about how he and her grandmother had played with everyone and let everybody believe that they weren't married when they were. How they hadn't won the TV show in the end, but that they had ended up with each other and that that was the most important thing in the world.
'Car, don't you think you've bothered Grandpa enough? You can dream that story by now'. Jahzara shook her head when she found out her father was telling Carrie's favorite story. Again.
'Oh Jazz, let her. If she likes to listen to the story…' Mac protested.
Jazz threw her hands in the air. 'All right, all right. One office I can handle, but two…' She stuck her tongue out at her mother and went to join her sister and sister-in-law at one of the table while Harm continued to tell the story.
Later that night, when the kids were down for the night, Harm wrapped his arms around his wife and smiled at the laughing people in the back yard. 'Do you want to sneak out of here and leave them?'
Mac leaned back in his embrace. 'And where would you take me?'
'Someplace nice'. He kissed the sensitive spot right under her ear and she shivered. 'Thirty years and I'm still able to do that to you…'
'Don't you even dare...' Mac started to protest but her protest was silenced with his lips on hers. After a while she broke the contact. 'Take me someplace nice Harm'.
He looked into her eyes. 'You sure?'
'They can handle it here. So, why don't you do what you do best?' Her finger traced his lower lip.
Harm smiled and pressed her even closer to his body. 'And what is that Mrs. Rabb?'
'Fly me to the moon'.
Without another word they disappeared to the awaiting car in the drive way. Faith nudged her sister in the ribs. 'They did it again'.
Jazz frowned at her. 'They did what?'
Faith nodded back to the house. 'They went flying to the moon'.
When their brother heard that, a smile spread over his face. The same his father had. 'Way to go Dad. Fly her to the moon'.
Let me know what you think of this ending!
