It had been just about a year or so later since Fish had been truly open and honest with Kyle about his past and everything was going great. One day Fish and Brody were bringing a perp into the station when John stopped them with a huge grin on his face.
"Fish, Kyle just called." Said John "It's time."
"Really!" said Fish
"Go we got you covered here." Said John, but Fish had already started to sprint out before John finished his sentence.
At the hospital Fish skidded to a stop as he saw Kyle.
"Kyle!" said Fish
"Whoa there officer," said Kyle "it's definitely time. Come on."
"Hey Kara." Said Fish walking into one "How ya doing?"
"Great," said Kara with a smile "you and Kyle are about to be dads."
Kyle and Fish smiled across Kara's bed. It had been a crazy year. Kyle had graduated med school and was now going pushing through life as a resident at Llanview Hospital. Fish had been promoted to Detective and headed the computer forensics team at the Llanview Police Department. They moved out of the apartment they shared with Layla and Cristian and into a spacious loft apartment with three bedrooms. Then about seven months ago, Kara, a young girl about 19 had come into the hospital after falling. Kyle had been her doctor and Fish had investigated and arrested her boyfriend who had pushed her down. Kara was two months pregnant at the time and looking for an adoptive family for her child. After a long discussion the couple had decided that they were ready for a child, the loft was spacious enough for them to raise a child until they were financially ready to buy a house. Kara agreed immediately when her two heroes asked to adopt her baby.
After several hours of labor Kyle and Fish welcomed to the world their daughter Rebecca Kara Lewis-Fish named after Kyle's sister and the women who gave them their precious little girl.
Kyle and Fish stood outside the nursery window looking at their bundle of joy.
"She's ours." Said Kyle
"Yeah she is." Said Fish "I love you."
"I love you." Said Kyle as Fish got a text "Who's it from?"
"It's from Rikki," said Fish looking at his phone "telling me that it's okay I didn't make it to the cemetery this year. She sends her congratulations to both of us."
"That's right," said Kyle taking Fish's hand in his "today is the 24TH, are you okay?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" asked Fish and smiled when Kyle just looked at him. "Yes Tyson was my son, I will always love him, but now, each year on this day, I'll be celebrating our daughter's birthday, which makes it a little bit easier, especially with you by my side."
Fish smiled into the kiss that Kyle gave him. He had his daughter and the man of his dreams. Fish decided at that moment, while he'll always have a place in his heart for Tyson, his past would no longer impact his present to the point that it would distance him from his future with Kyle and Rebecca.
