This is the end everyone hope I do it justice. *looks scared* don't hurt me if I didn't, just review and chew me out, slowly, I don't speak squirrel normally….

I was sitting in the parents' chairs with my name on it next to Will. We had married shortly after the birth of our daughters; Sara, Cara, and Laura. My life was perfect right now. I have a family, three wonderful grandchildren from Henry and Kate who had also married shortly after the birth of their oldest son, Gregory. Today Cara, Sara, Laura, and Gregory were graduating high school. Each of them was a valedictorian. I rested a hand on my belly gently caressing the large form. In eighteen years it had been determined that Will had stopped aging because of a mission where my blood had somehow made its way into his system when we were both wounded in the field. Our daughters had also inherited the longevity. I was pregnant again with a boy this time and due two weeks ago.

I watched the graduation ceremony and couldn't help the tears that came to my eyes as I watched my children give speeches and thank yous. In three weeks the girls would be off to college, just in time for them to see their new brother hopefully.

The ceremony ended and Will helped me stand up. It was easier this time, I wasn't overly large. We made our way over to Henry and Kate who were standing with Rhea and Cierra, their set of twins. I immediately went to Kate and we hugged, wiping tears from our eyes and grinning from ear to ear.

"Well, the only one here who has had another child graduate is Mom and she's still crying." Henry joked. I looked at him and smiled shaking my head.

"Henry, you know this is something special and I'm crying. My girls just graduated and are valedictorians, I don't know about you but I'm allowed some happy tears and lavender ice cream with peanut butter and honey in my state. Not many moms can say they have three eighteen years-olds and are expecting another baby while running a private medical research facility." I laughed at him as we made our way back to the cars. The girls and Greg were already there talking with their principle. She turned around and saw me, her eyes bugging out of her head. I smiled at her and passed her wrapping all the girls in a giant hug or, rather, as much as my pregnant belly would allow.

"Girls, I am so proud of you!" I gave each of them a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I turned and looked at the principle knowing she didn't know I was their mother.

"We know mum." Cara said happily. The principle was staring at us and I noticed her eyes bugged when Cara called me 'Mum'.

"Wait, you girls are telling me this is your mother, this wonderful woman right here raised you?" I turned to look at her with a smile and extended my hand as Will put a hand on my back.

"Indeed I did, Eighteen hours of labor, eighteen years later, and here I am, Helen Magnus-Zimmermann, and my husband, Will Zimmermann." She took my hand and shook it, nodding.

"Olivia Sandmann, it's a pleasure to finally meet you while you're in the country, the girls tell me you travel a lot sue to your work, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting either of you until now, but I must say You look beautiful, when are you due?" Olivia asked, gesturing to my obviously pregnant belly.

"Thank you, I was due two weeks ago, I hope the girls get time to see their new brother before they head off to England for college, I do travel a lot but it is necessary for my work, I'm obviously off of traveling right now, and it's nice to not have to hop into a plane and travel for hours away from family." I told Olivia as she smiled brightly then turned to Will.

"I know this is awkward but you two don't look old enough to have teens graduating from high school, did you have them young?" Will laughed. I smiled bigger and turned to the girls ushering them to the car.

Making out way home after Will chatted with the principle, I made a beeline for the bathroom and the to the main floor ballroom where the party was being held for the whole senior class in Old City. I sat at the piano and prepared the scores and then double checked the sound system. There would be all types of music and this night would be perfect.

The party lasted all night ending up with the whole of the high school staff and senior class attending. I was content to sit and play the piano and talk with people about things. Around two in the morning the last of the people cleared out and we all turned in to bed.

Will climbed into bed behind me a wrapped his arms around me caressing my stomach and kissing my neck. I smiled and rolled over to face him kissing him deeply. Remembering this tactic I pulled back and smiled evilly.

"William, I want to have this baby soon but let me get a few hours of sleep first or I have no doubt ill break your hand." Will pulled back and raised his hands.

"Fine I won't induce labour tonight, but after we wake up its hands on trying to get you into labour, you need to get that baby out, he can't hide forever." I nodded. Tomorrow I would walk and kiss and attempt to induce labor without medication. But first I was going to sleep and then I was going to get up and have breakfast and then I was going to actively try and go into labour.

One month later.

I stood in the airport with week old James in one arm and was walking down the line giving the girls goodbye hugs and they went to board the plane. Attempts to induce labour the day after graduation had failed miserably. Last week I had been in a conference call with the UN when I stood up to walk around the lab table. Halfway around my water had broken, scaring the crap out of the UN representatives. I had smiled and said finally he was going to come. I finished the call calmly enjoying the fact that they were squirming in their seats knowing I was in labour. Happy was a relative term when I made it to the infirmary where Ally was waiting for me. A mere three hours later I had James and rested.

Life was good and I was happy. I would always have a family. Knowing that, I watched the plane take off with the girls and turned with Will to go home. The girls had wanted to stay home like Ashley had but Gregory had pointed out that if they had degrees it would be better for everyone, they had agreed. Life was good. Not perfect, but good. I had everything, successful career, husband, children, and grand children. I had lived through some of the worst horrors and survived. My patience had given me hard times and good times. But now I had something else to live for, a new purpose with the same goal, only it once again included my family.

Well there it is… ending not quite what I wanted but I think it works. Let me know what you think. (and for those of you who review you get virtual hugs.)
