Katy's POV

It's been a few months after I left Anthony. I went to court and the judge granted me a restraining order against Anthony. They, however, wouldn't extend it to Katy Carmela. They said they saw no danger of her father being around her. I couldn't change it, so I decided to accept it for now.

Kermit helped me find a place for cheap. He's helped us a lot. We started dating a few weeks ago. Katy Carmela started walking already at 7 months old. I took her with me to Kermit's graduation (he had skipped a year early on). I held onto her while I cheered when they said his name. I looked over and saw Anthony only barely 100 feet away from us. My heart started beating faster. I moved down a seat and sat next to Kermit's mom. I looked back and Anthony was gone.

After the graduation, I told Kermit what I saw. He looked around and saw him. He immediately approached him. I stayed away.

"What do you think you're doing here?!" He asked.

"I came to see my daughter," he said. They were talking pretty loudly.

"There's a time and place for that, and it's not here," he told him. "You're going to stay away from Katy, or you'll regret it."

Anthony said something where I couldn't hear it and Kermit grabbed him by the collar and shoved him to the ground. He walked back to me and said he'd take me home.

When he stopped at my apartment he made sure we got in safe.

"What did Anthony say to you?" I asked him.

"He said 'You think a piece of paper matters to me?'"

I got worried and he could see that.

"Don't worry," he said. "I'm only a call away. You're safe."

"Thank you, Kermit," I said.

A few months later

Katy Carmela is one today. I turned 18 last month. Anthony got the court to allow him to go to her party, but he still had to be 100 feet away from me. He played the part of a proud father. He's a good actor, I'll give him that. Everyone believed it; except Kermit, his mom, and I; leading to people asking why I had a restraining order against him and why I was trying to keep her away from him. I ignored it as best I could and just watched my daughter eat her birthday cake. She shoved the cake in her mouth with a smile.

21 Years and Several Months Later

KC's POV

I looked through the scrapbook while Farkle followed mom by car to grandma and grandpa Clutterbucket's house.

"I was so cute," I said. "I'm shoving cake in my mouth!"

"I wanna see!" Aaron yelled. I handed the scrapbook back to him. "That's you?"

"Yeah," I said.

"You look funny," he said. We all laughed. I turned to Farkle.

"I can't believe I'm going to meet my grandparents!" I'm excited to say the least. We finally pulled up to the house and got out. Mom knocked on the door. Grandma Angela opened the door. She smiled.

"Come in!" She said.

We all went in. We sat around the living room.

"Where's daddy?" Mom asked.

"He's at the store," grandma said. He looked over at me. "Katy Carmela!" She said happily. "I haven't seen you in such a long time!"

"Yeah, I know," I said.

"You were the best thing that ever happened to your mama," she said. "You were her little saving grace."

"That's actually how I described my son, Aaron," I said, I motioned to him. "I got married really young—I had cancer and it was the last thing I wanted—and my husband at the time passed on the day he was born. If I hadn't had him, I don't know what I would have done."

"Your mama called me with such joy when you showed up in New York again," she said.

"It was the best decision I'd ever made," I said, looking at Farkle.

"Yeah, I got a relationship with her," Maya said. Grandma looked at her. "I didn't even remember her before that."

"Well memory's a tricky thing," grandma told her. "It seems like you all have made quite a life for yourselves."

"Yeah, we have," mom said.

Grandpa walked in through the front door. He looked around.

"Can you boys give me a hand with the rest of the groceries?" He asked. All of the guys, including Aaron (except Christian), went to help.

"Already putting them to work, daddy?" mom asked. He nodded and we all laughed.

"We'll I'm glad you finally found Mr. Right, Katy Grace," grandma said.

"Yeah, it's nice to know that all of the wrong directions I took with Anthony, led me to the right one," mom said.

After the food was done we talked while eating and caught up in every way. After dinner I walked with Farkle and our kids to grandma Carmela's grave. I put the flowers I was holding down.

"Thank you," I said.
