Chapter Eleven:

I spent my thirteenth birthday in a coma. I suppose that happens when you become so powerful, you nearly destroy the planet. Jack apparently, used his wrist transporter to grab me before my mom the Doctor could summon the TARDIS.

When I woke up, my dad was beside me. There were tears in his eyes.

"Hey star girl," he said with a weak smile.

"It wasn't a nightmare, was it?" I said croakily.

"I'm afraid not," he said.

I reached for him and he hugged me. We cried together.

…

My mom the Doctor and I sat on my porch the day after I was released.

"The world doesn't know what happened," she said. "Your earth isn't ready to know that aliens exist. The US government made up a story about an experimental weapon being tested that went awry and killed your mother. You were injured in the crosshairs"

"Sometimes you have to lie because the truth is too hard to explain," I said.

"You know a lot about that," she said.

"I'm not angry at them anymore," I said. "I don't entirely trust them, but I love them too much to be mad anymore."

"That's a sign of maturity," she said.

"What now?" I asked.

"We continue to mourn and remember," she said. "We also celebrate and vow to keep who we love in our hearts."

"You've lost a lot, haven't you?" I said.

"Too much for any one person," she said. "But that is who I am."

"Is that what I will be?"

She looked at me closely.

"The future is yours to decide," she said.

We then sat in silence.

…

A couple days after I woke up there was a candle light memorial for my mom in the park. The team stood together while the Astralina Brigade stayed on the edge. My dad was a wreck. Henry and Michael told me he hadn't been sleeping well. Every time he would look at me, he'd burst into tears. Something had broken, in him, and I wasn't sure how to fix it.

"You were the best thing to ever happen to me, Jennifer," my dad sobbed as Henry held him. "I you're know with me, but I'll spend the rest of my life missing you. You were my light J.J., and now you're gone."

I declined to speak.

"Agent Jareau represented the best in all of us," Aunt Emily said. "A superior agent, an even better mother and wife. I counted her among my best friends. I love you Jennifer. I hope you're at peace."

My brother Michael was the last to speak.

"Mom you're watching over all of us," he said. "You are in the lights in our hearts. Everything we do, is in honor of you. Our love for you will shine long after the candles burn out. Your love made us stronger. We are better because you were in our lives. I love you mom."

We blew out our candles. The wisps of smoke moved around and grew. My father Spencer materialized.

"J.J. was my best friend," he said. "I loved her more than anyone will ever know. Losing her, is like losing part of myself. I will love her forever. She sent me a message to give you, as she moved on:

Wipe away your tears and remember me with joy. Live in my name and celebrate life. My gift is my love of all of you. Share and embrace it. Will, I will never leave you. Henry, Michael, and Astralina, you are my greatest treasures. Choose a life of meaning that is perfect for each of you. All my love, Jennifer, J.J. Jareau."

There wasn't a dry eye in the park. I knew what I had to do. What I could do. I approached him and thought of every happy memory I ever had with my mom. It lit my hand up so brightly, that the park was drenched in light. I pressed it into my father Spencer's chest.

I felt his arms around me.

"You did it," he said.

"I did," I said weakly.

"I want your mom back too," he said. "I wish there had been another way."

My dad approached him.

"Take Astralina with you," he said.

"What!?" my dad Spencer said.

"Take her with you!" he sobbed. "All I see, when I look at my star girl, is what I've lost. That isn't fair to her. Take her with you!"

My mom the Doctor approached us.

"Whatever you want Astralina," she said.

"What about my safety?" I asked.

"I'll teach how to use your powers," she said. "I think you'll be okay."

I thought about my life on earth. Rose had so many questions, when I woke up, and I didn't know how to answer any of them. School seemed so insignificant. My life had changed dramatically.

Looking to my BAU family, they all nodded. There were tears in their eyes, but also slight smiles.

"The stars," I said.

I turned to my dad Spencer. He nodded.

"I'm coming with you."

I hugged him again. My mom the Doctor embraced us too. We were finally a family. If only the cost hadn't been so high.

Six Hundred Years Later:

I spent every summer with my BAU family. I stopped aging at twenty-five. My mom had changed faces the year before, and was finally a ginger. I watched and celebrated new jobs, relationships, and retirement. I became an aunt by both my brothers and a godmother to Rose's first child (she learned the whole story by time she was fifteen). My father moved back to New Orleans a year after I left, and a few years later, found love again. No matter far I traveled, the BAU would always be my home.

My mom the Doctor died for good a hundred years ago. The universe went into mourning. Even the Davros, the chief Dalek, paid his respects. She died of old age. Her body simply gave out. We had traveled together and apart over the years. I vowed to keep her legacy alive.

I still have four regenerations left in me. I tried being a man twice over the last nine and didn't particularly care for it. I acquired companions over the years, one was my great nephew from Henry. I was never as powerful as I was when I was thirteen, but that time has long since passed.

My father is immortal, with a caveat. He traveled with me or my mom the Doctor and always came back to life. He hasn't aged a year. We saw a specialist and learned his immortality is tied to mine, and that when I die, he will die soon after. He's been traveling with me since my mom the Doctor died.

We've watched so many friends and family die, the curse of being semi-immortal. But we always make new ones, and keep the ones we lost alive with stories. No one is truly dead so long as we keep them alive in our hearts.

This is my story. The story of my mom's brave death. The story of how my BAU family raised me to journey the stars. The story of my mom the Doctor's decision to give her greatest love away, with hope for a happy reunion in the future. This is the story of my father Spencer's love for the BAU and my mom the Doctor. This is a story of love rooted on earth and in the stars.
