A/N- Hey everyone! Here's the last chapter to My Light! Thanks to everyone who has followed and favorite and enjoyed this story! I apologize to anyone who couldn't find the poll on whether Emily and Amanda should switch back names. It wouldn't show up on my profile unless I took off the poll about the sequel, and that took more precedence. If there is a sequel, I will post that poll so I know where to take the story. If there isn't a sequel, an epilogue will be posted shortly after the poll ends so there is some closer.

Disclaimer: Same as always: I don't own the show or the characters from the show. All mistakes are mine and this does come from my imagination. I don't profit from this.


Third POV:

Three months later- June

"Remember that night you approached me in the house, and I said Amanda Clarke no longer existed?" Emily asks as she and Nolan lay in front of the cold fireplace. She has her head and one hand on his chest and he has his arm curled around her waist. Their little girl is upstairs asleep, exhausted from a full day of playing on the beach with her parents and family. Charlotte had her second child just a few days ago, a baby girl that Andre already wanted to return because he had wanted a little brother to take on adventures, while Arrayah has already deemed her the best early-birthday present she's ever had. Jack and Amanda are still taking things one day at a time, and Nolan and Emily are enjoying their small family.

"How could I forget? You nearly crushed my windpipe." Nolan says in a light-hearted manner, but Emily doesn't find it funny, and sits up to look him in the eye.

"Nolan, I'm so sorry for being cruel and not . I had been trained to not let myself to not let my feelings get in the way. I only had one thing on my mind and I had no plans for anyone else in my life, but you saw the wall and decided to scale it."

"That's all in the past, Ems. Considering what you went through, what you did to me was a walk in the park." Nolan hugs her closer and kisses her temple, "What were you saying about Amanda no longer existing?"

"What I said was true: Amanda Clarke died the night my father went to jail. Who she left was someone who had to relearn everything and become someone new."

"Emily, if I could've, I would've gotten you out of there." Emily smiles at Nolan and he continues, "And Amanda Clarke isn't gone. She is the strongest woman I know. How else would she survive a ghastly childhood, Juvie while being ostracized for being the 'Nation's-Most-Hated-Man's daughter, revenge boot camp, and this recent… hurdle? Amanda Clarke, the girl who knew her father's innocence and had fire in her eyes got you through everything; she just borrowed Emily Thorne's name." He begins to draw small circles on her hip and looks her in the eye to make sure she felt his words, "What brought this on?"

"I was thinking about everything, and how my dad would be happy that his name is cleared and everyone who had something to do with it are being put away."

"He would be so proud of everything you've done, Ems, I wouldn't doubt it." He assures her, "He'd love Ray. She would be absolutely unbearable with the way David would spoil her." He sees her face light up at the scenario of her dear father and her beloved daughter.

"He would; he would love to see how resilient Amanda's been and how his granddaughter inherited it." Nolan continues, painting a wonderful world that is only possible in their own minds, "I know we would have a sit-down and he would try to instill some fear into me."

"He loved you when he invested; his feelings wouldn't have changed." Emily sits up, cups his face, and kisses his lips tenderly and leaves a hand on his cheek, "Are you saying you want me to take my name back?"

"It's entirely up to you. You will always be my Ems or Ams, I can make both work." He lies back down and pulls Emily down with him. She re-adjusts so she's still looking at him.

"I'll think about it, there will be a lot of work to do if I go back." Emily reminds him

Nolan smirks at such a small thing, "I'm up for any challenge, whether it's making the switcheroo look legal to helping with dinner to helping …"

"…with another little Ross that's on the way" Emily finishes for him, knowing how he will react. She's been keeping this secret from him since mid-May when she couldn't shake the stomach flu Arrayah gave her.

Nolan looks down at her with wide eyes and mouth agape, and Emily finds it hard not to chuckle at his marveled look. Then, the surprised expression melts into loving smile and caring eyes.

"We're having another one?" He asks, excitement filling his voice.

"I think so, I took a few tests, and they were positive, and I've been a little late." She elaborates, assuring him she isn't playing a cruel trick on him, and she sees the delight filling his eyes. He leans over and cups her face and kisses her with as much passion as the first time they kissed. Emily returns it and places her hands on his cheeks. They pull away and gaze into each other's eyes.

"We're having a baby." Nolan laughs leaning his forehead against hers and rubbing her inconspicuous abdomen, and Emily lightly chuckles at his elated expression, "We're having another baby."
