"This is incredible." Marty said sitting in her publishers office looking through the book. On the cover was Roger's favorite picture of the two of them. It was taken the night Marty found out she was positive at the Life Cafe. They were just smiling at each other between shots. She thumbed to the center of the book where there were 10 pages of pictures. Most of them were of Roger and Marty over the last 20 years. Before and after RJ was born. There were pictures of Roger and RJ and of Roger, RJ and Marty. One of them in Marty's hospital room the day he was born, a few of the gang, one of just Marty and Collins and Marty's favorite picture of Roger. It was him on stage the first night he performed. The night he proposed to her. He was smiling down at her holding his guitar. He looked so amazing that night. They were both so excited that he was performing again. She couldn't believe their book was finally done.

"So what do you think?" Mr. Spaulding asked smiling at her.

"This is just so unbelievable. I wanna call him, you know?" she said looking up at him with tears in her eyes.

"I know, but Marty he is so proud of you, you know?" he told her smiling at her.

"I know. But that's not saying much. He was proud of me when I stopped having nightmares." she said laughing as she wiped her eyes.

"I wish I could have met him." he said as she smiled back down at the pictures.

"Me too. He would have liked you." she said smiling up at him.

"I have a feeling we would have given you a run for your money." Mr. Spaulding said laughing.

"Oh yeah. You're a prankster like he was. He was the master." she said laughing remembering all of the tormenting she and Roger put Mark through.

"Are you nervous?" he asked leaning up on the desk.

"You can't imagine." she said laughing nervously.

"Don't worry Marty, everything is gonna be OK. It's being released next week and we'll have a couple of book signings. Nothing too far from home and I set you up with some local talk shows to promote it. It's gonna be great." he told her smiling.

"Good. I don't want to leave RJ. I can't." she said closing the book and holding it close to her.

"I understand that. I have something for you." he said getting up and picking up a box from next to his chair for her. "For your friends and family." he said as she looked in the box. It was filled with copies of her book.

"Oh my God. Steve thank you. Really. You have no idea how much this means to me." she said smiling up at him.

"Your dream has just been realized. We can't expect the people who are in the book to have to buy it, now can we?" he said smiling back.

"Everyone is gonna be so excited." she said looking back at the books.

"I'll get you a car to take you home. There's no way you can carry all of those on the train with you." he said reaching for the phone.

"Thank you so much Steve. For everything." she said smiling at him.

"Marty, all I did was publish a book, you're the one who was brave enough to share yours and Roger's love with everyone." he said as she stared down at the books again.

"Well thank you for publishing it." she said quietly before picking the box up to leave the office.

"Marky, guess What?" Marty said carrying the box into the loft.

"What's up Marty?" he asked coming out of his room.

"I have presents for everyone." she said putting the box on the couch and taking the book out.

"No way. Oh my God, this is incredible. It's you and Roger." he said smiling at the cover.

"Do you like that picture? It was Roger's favorite." she said smiling at him.

"It was always my favorite too." he said smiling at her.

"It's being released next week and Steve said he got me on some talk shows and stuff to promote it and everything." she said as RJ came into the loft.

"Are you nervous?" he asked looking at the book again.

"More than I was the day I married Roger." she said smiling at him.

"Hey Uncle Mark, what's that?" RJ asked approaching them.

"Mom's book." he told him holding it up.

"No way. This is awesome." he said taking it out of Mark's hand.

"What do you think sweetie?" she asked looking up at him.

"I love it mom. Dad always loved this picture of you two." he said starting to cry.

"Oh sweetie, come here." she said wrapping her arms around him to comfort him.

"I miss him so much mom." he cried into her shoulder as she cried with him.

"Me too." she cried as Mark looked at them.

"I'm sorry mom." he said wiping his eyes.

"RJ, you listen to me. He is your father. It's OK for you to miss him." she said looking up at him.

"I know, but I know how hard it is for you too. Especially you. You guys never did too good apart." he said looking down at her.

"But he gave me you, and you know what? You are the greatest gift he ever gave me." she said leaning up to kiss his cheek.

"Dad's really proud of you mom. You actually did it. You wrote your book." he told her smiling at her.

"I did, didn't I?" she said smiling back at him.

"You sure did Marty." Mark said smiling at them.

"Oh come here Marky. I owe it to you too, you know?" she said hugging Mark.

"What did I do?" he asked hugging her.

"He gave me the best big brothers a girl could ask for." she said kissing his cheek.

"You know, Collins would be proud of you too?" he whispered hugging her again.

"I know." she said trying not to cry again. "I'm gonna go lay down for a little while, OK?" she said pulling back from him.

"You're not gonna go in your room and cry by yourself, are you?" RJ asked looking down at her.

"I just need to be alone for a little while. I'm OK." she said looking up at him.

"OK mom." he said as she smiled up at him.

"Really, I'm fine." she said before going into her room.

"I hope she's gonna be OK." RJ said looking at Mark.

"She'll be fine. She just needs to talk to your dad alone." he told her him patting his shoulder..

"I know." he told him smiling at him.

"Hey Baby, guess what?" she started staring at the picture of Roger that was hanging over the bed. "Our book is finished. They're releasing it next week." she said taking it off of the wall. "I wish you were here to celebrate it with me, Baby. I miss you so much Roger." she said starting to cry. "I put your favorite picture on the cover." she said caressing the picture. "I love you so much Roger. I dedicated the book to you and Collins. Two of my favorite boys." she said starting to smile at him. "I love you my love, and I miss you so much." she said kissing the picture before putting it back on the wall, wiping her eyes and leaving the room.
