The Morning of Phil's funeral Ria woke when it was still dark out. She listened to Jake breathing and knew he wasn't asleep. Neither of them said anything, they just layed there thinking.

Her poor baby would never have grandparents. Never know what it was like to call someone 'Grandpa', spend the weekend with Phil fishing, or help him build a birdhouse. Her baby would never get to see their Grandfather fishing.

Phil would never see Jake and Josh become Captains of the Cornelia, never see his grandchildren playing on the docks, never be able to sit at the bar and proudly watch the next generation take over.

Jake finally turned to face her after several hours of sitting in silence. His eyes were sad, longing for some bit of hope to hold on to.

Laying there he looked like a lost defeated puppy, with no where to turn to. SHe could see his eyes were glassy, which scared her. She had never seen Jake cry before. She reached forward and held him tightly, his body shaking as the tears came full force stinging his eyes.

"Shhh" She said rubbing his back

When he finally gained control of himself he got up and slowly walked to the bathroom to shower, Ria following close behind.

They were finally ready to go when Josh pulled up in front of Ria's place. She held Jakes hand on the way there, but he gazed blankly ahead of him

It was a cloudy blustery day, as they walked slowly to where Phils ashes were. They sat, Ria between Jake and Josh all crying silently.

Jake felt was like he was dreaming and begging to wake up. If Ria weren't around he didnt know what he would do. She was his rock.

He gazed at her, her bottom lip was trembling and her eyes were red and glassy but to him she was the most stable person he had. She was carrying his baby, and he loved her more than ever now. Phil had once told him

"That girl. She's a keeper. Don't make the mistake of letting her go like I did with your mother."

Jake would never. He knew sometimes he was a dick, and that Ria was insane for putting up with it when most people would give up but he loved her for it. Jake had always known Ria was the only one for him but he always avoided it because he was afraid.

he gently squeezed her hand and smiled reassuringly at her before he got up to put Phils Urn in the ground. Gazing down for a moment he thought about all the times he had fucked up and dissapointed his dad.

But then he thought about how many times he had made him proud. And how proud he would be of him and Josh now. Josh for being responsible and taking care of buisness just like Phil would have. And Jake for falling totally head over heels in love with RIa, and staying with her and the baby.

And in that moment Jake knew that Phil wasnt gone. He was watching them right now, from high in the sky.

And he was telling them

I Love You.

Just as he always had

And always would.

Jake and Ria got married. THey had a tiny ceremony composed of family and friends on the beach shortly after Phil's funeral.

FAST FORWARD 8 MONTHS

Jake paced quickly back and forth huffing and puffing in the hospital waitng room

"Dude!" Josh snaped agitatedly "WIll you qiut it."

Jake huffed and threw himself into the chair between Josh and Jake A looking ruffled.

"Calm down Phil." Edgar said his eyes twinkling "Your just like your old man. I'm sure she's fine."

Ria had gone into labor nearly an hour ago. he could hear her occasional shreik now and again but the last 15 minutes had been mostly screaming and crying.

He was worried. He practically jumped the doctor when he came into the hallway beaming at Jake.

"Congratulations. You have twins a ."

The others wooped and yelled excitedly clapping Jake on the back. he smiled broadly his mind reeling as he watched the Hillstrands talk animatedly about setting off celebratory fireworks.

The doctor led Jake into the room where he found Ria, disheveled and sweaty but grinning like a chessy cat. He pressed a kiss to her hot forehead, and they waited for the doctor to bring in his child.

He were beautiful

The boy was slightly darker skinned, with tufts of dark hair that layed over his forehead. He had big hazel eyes

Just like his father.

"What should we name him?" Ria questioned as she gently played with a piece of his baby fine hair.

Jake stared thoughtfully down at him for a moment.

"Jagger Phillip Harris." he said finally.

Ria's eyes shone with tears

"Jagger Philip Harris." She repeated as she pressed a kiss to the babies forehead, and then Jake's

That sounded just perfect to her
