A/N: This is the last chapter for this story. It was fun writing, but I just thought that this was the best way to end it. This chapter just came flowing out and here it is. Enjoy and thanks for reading. Reviews make me smile.


Lucy sat on the chair next to her grandfather's hospital bed. He was in a coma, has been in a coma for the past week, and she has been here everyday after getting off of work. Her mother and father would be coming along soon, and so would her wife. It was time that they were pulling the plug tonight.

Katie held her grandfathers hand and brought the back of it up to her lips. She softly kissed it and lowered it back to the bed, but she didn't let go. She stared out the window across the room, tears filling up her eyes. She wasn't ready to lose him too, but she was ready for him to go and be with grandma again.

She lowered her head, staring at her and his hand, "it's okay, grandpa. I know that it must be hard, but you can let go. Grandma and everyone is waiting for you…"

Lucy felt a warm breathe on her, causing her to look up. No one was there besides her grandfather, but when she was about to lower her head again, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned her head, her voice dying on her lips.

"Hello, sweetie," a much younger version on Susan said.

"Grandma…" Lucy said, standing and facing her.

"You have been so strong honey, so brave too, you really do take after Lu."

"Grandma…"

"Don't fret dear."

"You look so beautiful, grandma. You look like a queen."

"I am a queen, sweetie. And some day, so will you be. I would like you to met my brothers and sister."

Just then, behind Queen Susan, three others appeared. Lucy recognized them right away from old photos, but still they looked older.

"Lucy, this is my older brother, High King Peter the Magnificant, my younger brother, King Edward the Just, and my youngest sibling, my sister, your name sake, Queen Lucy the Valiant."

Each bowed as they were named, and Lucy stared on in wonder.

"Am I dreaming, grandma?"

Queen Susan chuckled, "Deary, when are you not dreaming?"

Lucy was about to answer when a laugh came from behind her.

"Grandpa!" Lucy called out, turning and seeing him sit up.

"You are always away in your own world pumpkin, one just like you dear grandmother was. Hello my dear wife," he said, standing up, and as he did, he seemed to de-age into a young man, regal and posed.

"Franklin, my dear husband. Are you ready?" Susan asked.

"Of course, my dead wife, my Queen," he answered stepping up to stand next to her. "Lucy, be good."

"Why?" Lucy asked, a smile on her lips.

"You know, I don't know," a smile on his lips too.

She watched as her great uncles and great aunt smile and turn to leave, disappearing into the air, followed by Susan and Franklin, where for a second they looked like they were as she last some them together, old and smiling, walking hand in hand into the wall, disappearing.

She then felt a warm breathe on her face again.

Lucy was woken, a hand on her shoulder, shaking her gently.

"Lucy, wake up," her mother said to her.

"Mum?" Lucy said, still half asleep. "What is it?"

"Granddad's gone sweetie."

Lucy started up, looking at her grandfather's face. He had been smiling the moment that he let go. She looked at her hand and saw she was still holding onto him.

"Grandpa?"

"Come on sweetie, your mum and I will be in the Hallway waiting for you."

Lucy numbly nodded and waited for her parents to leave the room.

"Grandpa… good bye… behave with grandma and everyone. See you in my dreams…"

But as she said it, she realized that it wouldn't happen. Grandma, grandpa, and every creature and person that had come to her in her dreams would no longer come. She leaned over her grandpa and kissed his forehead, the warmth leaving.

She turned and stopped, watching the lion figure in front of the window.

"Are they happy… forget that question, of course they are happy."

"What do you want daughter?"

Lucy looked at the lion, her tears freely going down her face, "I want to not miss them so much. I took care of him for so long… I don't know what to do…"

The lion sighed, and walked to her. Lucy sat in the chair and buried her face into his mane. "Care for yourself, and your family. Your gift is love, believe in it and use it."

Lucy pulled away and wiped the tears from her face, feeling like she was 11 again, sitting with her grandmother when her bunny died.

"Tell them I love them and I will miss them."

"They know that dear."

"Will anyone ever visit me again… or do I have to wait until I come home?"

"You never know," the lion said, turning and walking back to the window, disappearing into the air too, just like my family had done.

"Goodbye…" she said softly.

Lucy walked into the hallway, where she walked into the arms of her wife, while grabbing the hands of her mum and dad.
