Epilogue.
2 years after the Richmond case
Lilly Rush was sitting on her bed, holding her two-month old daughter, she remembered the time where all she had was her job, but some time after closing Roseanne's case, she had filled adoptions papers and 18 months later, she was finally allowed to adopt a child. Then, there was this pregnant woman, unable to take care of a child, who was giving her child up after the birth.
Lilly had been at the hospital the day her baby was born and when they had let her hold the newborn, silent tears had begun falling down her cheeks, but now, back in her house, two months later, she felt right into all the motherhood stuff. She was glad to have had a second chance for being a mother and promised herself, her little girl wouldn't be hurt.
-Mommy loves you, Isabelle, she always will, whatever happens.
Little Isabelle Roseanne Rush looked at her mother with bright emerald eyes. She didn't look at all like with her green eyes and brown hair, that was quite normal, but they were happy together and that was all that mattered.
At that moment, in that place, life was perfect for both of them. They had found what they needed, for one, a child to love, for the other, a loving mother…
I didn't think I would finish this story, but I made it and this epilogue was very important to me, it showed how closure could be relieving for Lilly and that she could find happiness without needing a husband or a boyfriend.
