15-year-old KC woke up on a Sunday morning. Next to her bed was her Bible, which had growing dust on it. She looked at the calendar on the wall next to her bed. There, circled by Jaxon, was the date June 21st, 2015Father's Day. Her eyes filled with tears.

She looked over at the time and saw that it was already noon. (She let her father-in-law have her son for the weekend.) She heard a knock at the door. She walked into her living room and to the front door. Standing there, was her brother-in-law, Lucas.

"Hey, KC," he greeted her.

"Hey," she said.

"Where's Lucas Aaron?" He questioned.

"At your dad's," she replied.

"Why?"

"Because he's his grandfather," she stated. "The only father in the picture."

Her 14-year-old brother-in-law looked down.

"I'm sorry, KC," he said.

"You should probably go see your dad," she told him.

"You should come with me," he suggested.

"I have a lot to do today," she lied. Lucas looked over at the door. "Maybe I'll meet up with you guys tonight and bring Aaron home afterwards."

"I hope so," he said. "I'll see you tonight."

"See you," she replied.

Lucas walked out the door.

Farkle walked with KC and their children into a movie theater. They got their snacks and tickets, and went into their theater room.

There was a play-place next to the seats in the theater that both Aaron and Brooklyn were eying.

"You can play until it's time for the movie to start," Farkle told them. They ran off to play. He and KC sat in their seats. "Hey, KC."

"Yeah?" His wife replied.

"Rachel told me that strawberries and chocolate chips were what Jaxon liked in his waffles," he said. "So, I get the mix up. She said it's almost been 10 years since the Father's Day after Aaron was born."

"Yeah, it was," she said. "I'm sorry that I somehow mixed up you and Jaxon."

"It's Father's Day," he said. "He's his dad, too, no matter if he's here or not."

"You're right about that 10 years thing," she said, "but that's not why I thought about him. When I saw how much Aaron is looking like him, it reminded me that it has been exactly 11 years since the Father's Day before Aaron was born. That was the day Jaxon told me that he wanted to have kids with me. We had talked about it before, but it was never flat out like that."

"I don't blame or judge you for thinking about him," he said. "You still love him, and there's nothing wrong with that."

"My 16th birthday was the hardest one I ever had to deal with," she told him. "The worst part was that Aaron and I almost got into in an accident while going somewhere. I turned around and went back home. I spent it alone with Aaron and it just felt lonely."

"I'm sorry, KC," he told her.

"Happy Father's Day," she said looking at Farkle. She then looked up. "Happy Father's Day," directing it to Jaxon.

The lights dimmed and Farkle got the kids and the movie started.

November 4th, 2015

KC stared at herself in the mirror.

"Why do they have to be in New York?" She questioned. She walked into her room and pulled her almost-10-month-old son out of his crib. "Let go somewhere, baby."

"Go," Aaron said.

KC got a bag ready and walked out to the truck, holding the bag and her son. She put her son in his car seat, then got in, herself. She turned the key and the truck wouldn't start.

"Come on," she begged. She tried again, with no luck. "Damn it!"

She hit the steering wheel. She looked at the rearview mirror and saw Jaxon's cross necklace hanging on it. She broke down crying. She started hitting the steering wheel repeatedly.

"Why did You take him?!" She yelled. "Why?! Why?! Why?! Why?!"

"Mama," her son's voice broke her from her crying and anger.

She looked back at him.

"Yeah, Aaron?"

"Go?"

She nodded.

She tried turning on the truck again and it started. She started driving. She reached a red light and began getting extremely anxious. She looked both ways before she started driving again on the green. Then, suddenly, a vehicle nearly hit the front of the truck. She slammed on her brakes as the other vehicle kept driving, speeding away. The truck stalled out. She grasped her chest and tried to steady her breath. She looked back at Aaron, who looked startled, but wasn't crying. She started the truck again and turned around, going home. She took him out of the truck and took him inside. She fed him, then took him to the living room with her and watched TV until Aaron fell asleep.

June 21st, 2025

KC walked onto the stage at Topanga's.

"Hey, guys," she said. "It's so weird performing here again."

Lucas, who had come for a visit from Texas, and Rachel were sitting at a table near the stage.

"We haven't in years," Farkle stated.

"But this is a place that feels like home," KC said. She looked over at her mother- and brother-in-law. "Just like Texas was…like Jaxon was." She looked at her 10-year-old son, and ushered for him to join them on stage. He did so. "If some of you don't know, this is my son Aaron. Last Sunday was Father's Day. Today marks 10 years of what would have been his father's first Father's Day. But unfortunately, his father, Jaxon, passed in a car accident the same day Aaron was born."

Aaron pulled the mic towards himself.

"Looking at pictures of him, I know he'll always be here," he said. "And even though I never got to meet him, it feels like I did because of the stories my Uncle Luke, mom, and Gramma Rachel tell me."

Topanga smiled. So did Olivia and Amanda.

"Now, Aaron is going to be playing this song with us today," KC said. She looked at Aaron, who was taking his place at the drums, and saw that he was wearing Jaxon's cross necklace. She looked at Lucas, and he tipped his imaginary hat at her, which made her smile. "After Jaxon died," her eyes started filling with tears and she started sniffling, "sorry." She wiped her eyes. "After Jaxon died, I fell out of my faith. I stopped going to church. I would yell at God a lot, not even sure I believed in Him anymore. That went on for almost a year and a half. It ended when I saw my son open the Bible that had fallen off of my bedside table. I started reading to him and he would really listen. Reading again resurrected my faith. I remembered every single time God has saved me. I started going back to church, and a year and 2 months later, I moved back here."

"If we didn't, I wouldn't've met Jesse," Aaron said into the mic by his drums. The 9-year-old smiled at him. He smiled back at her, blushing. "Or Noah," he quickly added.

Noah, the 12-year-old son of Olivia Benson, gave Aaron a look of I know you like her.

"Or Farkle," KC said, looking over at her husband. "Now, we're going to perform In The Stars by Benson Boone."

KC started playing piano.

(KC, +Farkle, +Farkle and Aaron)

Sunday mornings were your favorite/ I used to meet you down on Woods Creek Road/ You did your hair up like you were famous/ Even though it's only church where we were going/ Now Sunday mornings, I just sleep in/ It's like I buried my faith with you/ I'm screaming at a God, I don't know if I believe in/ 'Cause I don't know what else I can do

I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone/ I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means forever/

Rachel got tears in her eyes.

Now you're in the stars and six feet's never felt so far/ Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers/ Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons/ You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces

Farkle joined in with guitar.

Digging through your old birthday letters/ A crumpled twenty still in the box/ I don't think that I could ever find a way to spend it/ Even if it's the last twenty that I've got

Oh, I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone/ I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means forever/ Now you're in the stars and six feet's never felt so far/

Rachel and Lucas started crying together.

Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers/ Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons/ You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces

Aaron joins in on drums.

I'm still holding on, holding on/ I'm still holding on, holding on / I'm still holding on, I'm still holding on/ I'm still, ooh, I'm still holding on

Everyone except KC stops playing.

I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone/ I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means foreeeever/

KC started crying.

Now you're

Farkle and Aaron join back in.

in the stars and six feet's never felt so far/ Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers/ Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons/ You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces

Aaron set down his drumsticks and Farkle set down his guitar. They hurried to KC as she started bawling. She sunk in their arms. Lucas and Rachel joined in. After a bit, Farkle and Aaron removed themselves to allow the three to grieve and cry together.
