Epilogue:
Five years later in a little town in Washington a dark harried man came home from work. He opened the door and walked inside the house. "Serena, I'm home." He called to his wife.
Just then a four-year-old girl ran down the hall. "Papa, Mama's mad at you." The little girl informed him.
Darien then walked into the living room. Serena didn't look too happy. He wondered what happened. "What's wrong?" He asked as he sat down on the couch next to her.
Serena sighed. "You know as well as I that my name's not Serena, it's Courtney." She told him. "And, don't say my real name in front of Rini. Okay, Jack. If Rini asks what my first name is I want to be able to tell her that it's Courtney without her asking why you call me Serena."
Darien sighed. He knew Serena was right. If he kept calling Serena by her real name then that would prompt Rini to ask questions about their past. They didn't want to tell their daughter about their past. It would just be too complicated. Maybe they would tell her one-day, but they didn't want to tell her anytime soon.
Serena had given up painting once she had found out that she was pregnant with Rini. All the fumes weren't good for Rini when she was a baby. Now she painted every once in a while, though it was hard with a four-year-old running around. It was even harder since she was blind.
Darien had gotten a job at a law firm as a paralegal. Every day he felt bad that Serena had given up painting, but he understood she only did it to take care of Rini. He also watched the news every day to see if they caught Seyia, but they hadn't.
They had spent five years of their lives as Jack and Courtney. Sometimes Serena wished that she could talk to her sister and brother. Darien wished that he could talk to his sister as well, but they knew that their families thought they were dead.
A few moments later Rini came into the room. "Mama, are you done being mad at Papa?" She asked, waiting to make sure that her mom wasn't mad at her dad.
Serena smiled. "I'm not mad anymore honey."
Rini then ran into the room with a piece of paper. "I made you a picture Mama." Rini told her mother as she handed her the paper. "I wish you could see it."
Serena smiled sadly as she set the picture down on the coffee table. She also wanted to see her daughters drawing. Darien picked up the drawing and looked at it. "Hey, that's really good sweetie." Darien told his daughter. "I think you have your mothers artistic talents."
Rini smiled happily as she took the picture from her dad. "Why don't you hang it on the fridge honey." Serena told Rini as Darien turned on the news. "You watch the news every day. So far they haven't found him. Do you think they're ever going to find him?"
Darien sighed as he looked at Serena. "I really don't know." He told her.
As he watched and she listened they were waiting for any information about Seyia. They weren't really expecting anything on him, but when information came on they listened to it. The reporter then said, "After five years of searching the police finally have Seyia Winters in custody, the man that shot and killed Darien Ross from New York."
Serena smiled happily when she heard that Seyia was caught. She was happy that the man that 'killed' Darien was caught. "We can finally have peace now. I don't have to worry about Seyia seeing me with Rini whenever we're at the park. I also don't have to worry about you when you're at work." She told him.
Darien smiled as he looked at his daughter in the hallway playing and back at his wife. He too was happy that Seyia was finally caught. Now they could have peace and that was something that they had waited for a long time to have.
…
In San Francisco Mina was doing some shopping when her brother had called her. Jadeite told her that Seyia was finally caught. She sighed in relief. She was glad that jerk was caught. He had caused a lot of problems and was going to be throne in jail. It was because of him that her sister had died. She was only too happy that he was off the streets.
…
Raye watched the news as she ate dinner. She always watched the news just in case there was any information on Seyia. After five years she wasn't expecting there to be any news. When she saw that there was she nearly chocked on her food. He had been caught. The man that killed her brother was going to prison. Her brother was finally going to have justice.
They were all happy that Seyia was finally going to prison and they would never have to hear about him again.
