Epilogue
Sara's Story
************
Sara Fitzgerald was very excited about her birthday because this is the first birthday she have with her new father and can't wait for all of the good things to happen including this. After leaving her Daddy's bedroom, Sara quickly went to the living room to put her favorite teddy bear, a brown bear with a red satin bow around it neck named Penny on the couch and put it there because she don't want the bear to get ruined by the flour and all sort of things to make the pancakes and also, the bear was very special to her because Martin gave to her for Christmas. From since they knew each other, Martin only gave her two others. One was given to her when Martin was first hanging out with Sara and recently, another was given to her a few days before she's officially became his daughter. Both of them was happily sitting on her bed and those plus Penny the bear are pretty special to her because they all came from her favorite person in the whole wide world, her Daddy.
Sara always think that Martin is the coolest person in the world ever since she met him last Fall and wanted to be with him all the time. That did happened until somebody very bad had taken her away from him one night. She didn't realized this because she was sleeping until she had woken up and founded herself with a strange blanket over her body in a strange car that she didn't recognized at all instead of sleeping on a soft bed in Auntie Katie's guestroom and having Colby sleeping at her feet. Don't knowing where she is, Sara sat up on the backseat and had noticed a person up front, driving the car. Wanting to see if the person who was driving the car was anybody she knows, Sara looked for any clues about this person. Moments later, Sara had noticed that the person who was driving the car had green eyes. From all of the people she knew of, none of them had green eyes and right away, Sara Fitzgerald had gotten very scared because she don't know the person who was driving the car, don't know where she is at, don't know where her Daddy, Uncles, and Aunts are at either, and who is the hell is that person who just kidnapped her from Auntie Katie's home?
Wanting to know what time it is, even through she can't tell time but from the glowing numbers in front of her, Sara knew right away that it is pretty late at that time. After seeing the time, Sara got even more scared and wanted her Daddy to be with her right now. With a soft voice, Sara said to the person up front and to herself, "Where's Daddy? I want Daddy." Seconds later, the person up front had heard Sara's voice, saying that she wanted her Daddy, and right away, the person gave her an answer. "Sara. Your Daddy is not here right now. He's up in Heaven right now."After hearing that person's answer, Sara was starting to think that person had just talked about the wrong father. That father isn't the person Sara wanted to take care of her and tell her that everything will be okay. The father Sara wanted to see right now was the person who had raised her for a couple of months now, Martin Fitzgerald.
Sara put the blanket closer to her body to be more warmer and said to the person who just gave her the wrong answer, "I meant Martin." Realizing that Sara just gave her another man's name instead of the person she knew as her daughter's father, Alanna started to think that Sara had forgotten about Jim being as her father and now thinks that Martin is her father, Alanna stopped the car, turned to Sara who was staring at her with her dark brown eyes, and really wanted to have a drink right now, she said to her daughter in a kind voice, "Sara, sweetie. I'm going out to get something and I wanted you to stay in the car until I get back and tomorrow, you and I will get out of there and go back home. You okay with it?"
Don't knowing what to say, Sara just nodded at her, telling her that she is kind of okay with it. After seeing that nod her daughter just gave her, Alanna smiled at Sara and said back to her, "That's great then. See you soon." After she told her that, Sara watched this person turned off the engine, unbuckled her seat belt, got off of the car, and from the window next to her, Sara watched her, walking into the darkness. The moment she had left, Sara turned around and realized something about this woman. Right away, from those green eyes and that weird accent, Sara recognized the woman as that woman that Daddy and Auntie Katie were talking about for a few days now and as the same woman who had spitted at her Auntie at the park a few weeks ago. Sara didn't know her name but she does know that that woman is a bad woman who wanted her back and away from the people who loves her.
When she was thinking about that, Sara felt tears coming out of her eyes and letting them falling on the blanket. She was crying because if she went away with that lady, she will misses Martin, her Uncles and Aunties, and everybody else she loves. She will misses them terribly and for a while, Sara kept crying on the blanket until she had fallen asleep. A few hours later, Sara founded herself in Uncle Danny's arms and out of nowhere, she asked about Martin. "You will see your Daddy real soon, Sara. I promised." said Danny. Sara smiled at the promise Danny just gave her while Danny put her into Sam's arms and gave Martin a call on his cell phone to tell Martin that they had founded her and while Danny was calling him, Sara fell asleep in Sam's arms again that night.
After she put Penny down on the couch, Sara ran to the kitchen and being Martin's little helper, Sara looked through every single drawer to find a pan, a mixing bowl, and some other things to make the pancakes. Moments later, Sara went to the fridge to get the butter but when she got there, Sara got distracted by a drawing on the fridge, a drawing Sara made on the first day of day care in fact. Seeing a crayon made drawing of her and her father holding hands between two trees, Sara realized that she had forgotten to draw another person in that drawing Martin proudly put up on after Sara had shown to him and Danny the day after she saw Katie after over two years. Sara had forgotten to draw her godmother in the drawing of her family.
Sara was very happy that she finally founded Auntie Katie after being away from her and in return, Katie was also happy to see her. Beside Martin, Sara also wanted to protects her from all of the bad things, which had happened a few times since they founded each other. The biggest one was at the park. At the park, Sara was playing with her friends at the daycare when the bad woman had came and yelled at her Auntie. Sara didn't realized this until she noticed that Emily had stopped playing and was looking at Sara's godmother. Wanting to know why Emily was looking at Sara's Auntie Katie, she turned to Emily and asked her, "Emily. Why are you not playing?"
Emily listened to her friend's question, pointed at the direction where Katie and Alanna are at, and answered Sara's question, "That woman is yelling at your Auntie." Sara looked at the direction where Emily's finger was pointing at, and saw that woman and Katie having an argument. Seconds later, Sara was very mad at something that the other woman had did to her Auntie. The woman just had spitted at her beautiful godmother! Sara got a little mad that the woman did something really disgusting to Katie and wanted to get that woman away from her but had no idea to get that woman away from her. After thinking about it for a minute, Sara got a plan.
To do that, Sara turned to Emily and Jane who just came back from her Mommy for something, and told the both of them that she got to go and will see them soon. Jane got confused from all of this and asked Emily, "Emily, I don't understand. Why Sara's leaving?" Emily got toward Jane and whispered to her ear, "Me and Sara saw her Auntie getting yelled at and spitted at." After telling that to Jane, the only word that was coming out of Jane's mouth is 'oh'. The moment Sara had heard the 'oh', she turned to Emily and Jane and told them that she will see them at the daycare. In return, both Emily and Jane told her that they are okay with it and hope to see her on Monday. Sara smiled at her two friends and waved goodbyes at them. Emily and Jane did the same thing that Sara just did and seconds later, the both of them watched their new friend walking to her Auntie and told her a little lie.
Once she got to Katie, Sara made her face looked a little tired and began to started tugging one of Katie's jacket sleeves. The moment she got her attention, Katie looked down to see who was doing the tugging and founded Sara there, looking very tired at her. After seeing her tired-looking face, Katie went down to Sara's level and asked her, "Sara. Pumpkin, is there something wrong?" With a little voice, Sara told Katie that she is tired and want to go home. Katie looked down at her watch to see the time and seconds later, Katie looked down at Sara to ask her it was true? Sara nodded back. After seeing the nod, Katie carried Sara up and told her that their New York adventure is over for the day. Katie also told her since Martin is not home, they are going to Long Island to be with the Tolands instead because Martin is there already. In her soft, little voice, Sara told her okay while Katie snapped her back into the stroller.
The moment she was put on the stroller, Sara closed her eyes and pretended to sleep to let Katie knows that she was taking a nap. Sara did that during the entire drive to Long Island with a few opening of the eyes to see if Katie was not watching her from the front seat. That's right! Sara was pretended to sleep and she was not even tired which is very frustrating thing to do.
After thinking about that, Sara realized about another thing and this one is the one of the only things Sara always wanted in her life. Sara Fitzgerald wanted her father and her godmother to be together for a very long time. This might take a while but it had to happen. Sara wanted the both of them to be happy even through that they already are. Plus, Martin been very happy for a whole week now which might had started when she got kidnapped by that woman and everybody went out looking for her so something that night had might her father and Auntie Katie got closer but she think that they don't want to show their love in front of Sara yet because this is Sara's ultimate wish and will be very happy about it and will asked a lot of questions.
When Sara thought about this, she had realized that Martin didn't came yet. To tell him to hurry up, Sara yelled at him to hurry up and get a move on! Sara waited for a few minutes and seen that he still didn't came yet. To tell him again, Sara yelled at Martin again to hurry his butt off! Hoping that could Martin going, Sara can't wait for the many goodies, the presents, and the people who loved her very much to be around with on her birthday plus wanting her wish of her Daddy and her Auntie Katie to be together to come true the most. For a few minutes, Sara thought of many different things that will happen on her birthday and the rest of her life until she heard Martin's footsteps and right away, Sara thought to herself, "Daddy's here, I better get ready!" and went back to what she was doing before to help Martin make the pancakes and the rest of their lives.
