Hey! It's time for the very last chapter for "The Rest Of Our Lives"! I've written this chapter a while ago but I wanted to wait for the day Season 12 comes, and I'm pumped. Some of you saw my message on my profile, and I'm rethinking things. Well, I've soo much fun writing this story, and I hope you enjoy the last chapter. Thanks to those who suggested names for the new baby, and I decided on a transgender teen. FTM, in honor of one of my most favorite Degrassi characters Adam! Jessica Dylan Amber Goldsworthy but when he finds out he's a FTM he changes it to Dylan Jesse Goldsworthy and drops the Amber. Thanks to everyone who's read and reviewed. Thank you!
*15 Years Later*
Dylan Goldsworthy walked into the kitchen, and ruffled his now-shaggy hair. It's been a year since he found out he was a boy, and it took him a while to sort things out. Clare walked over to him, and gave a smile. "Mom. Thank you so much." He tells her, and she nods. She ruffled his raven-black hair, and jumped a little as Eli crept behind her.
"Eli!" Clare giggles, surprised. Eli smirked, and kissed her. "Elijah Goldsworthy, 62 and you still have that charm that you had back in high school." Clare tells him, and kisses him. "And now I'll pretend I never heard that." Dylan mutters, and pretends to throw up. Eli copies, and Clare hits him. "Oh you two are a bunch of pussys." Clare teases, then grabs her purse. "Do I really have to go?" Dylan asks, whining. Clare nods, and Dylan groans. "Don't you want to celebrate your niece's birthday?" Eli asks, and Dylan shakes his head.
"Nope. Everytime I see her she goes, "Aunt Jessica!" when she clearly knows that I'm a guy. "Dylan says, and Eli chuckles. "I'm sorry Jessi-Dylan." Eli catches himself, correcting the name. "You see! Even Dad still calls me Jessica! Call me Jesse atleast!" Dylan says, and Eli frowns in guilt.
"Home run!" Dylan runs around the baseball field, and in loud, clear words Eli yells, "GO JESSICA-I MEAN DYLAN!" and Dylan stopped, tripped and lost the game.
"I'm sorry, I was cheering for my daug-son." Eli says, and mentally slaps himself. Dylan stormed off, pissed. Clare looks at Eli, her blue eyes flashing. Eli grabbed the car keys, then yelled, "Dylan! Get your ass over here! We're celebrating Spencer's birthday whether you like it or not!" Dylan puts on some nice clothes, grabbed his phone then went downstairs. They all got in Morty Jr., and they drove over to Isabella's house. She married Raymond as soon as she turned 20, getting past the rape, and the abuse, which was a hard time for her.
Zac was thrilled to find out he was a grandfather, making Eli and Clare great-grandparents. Julia and Hunter got a divorce after she found him cheating on her, but a year later the recolonized over coffee at The Dot. Nick came and went as he scholarship to NYU, and made monthly visits to good 'ol humble Toronto. Devon and Alana are now attending Degrassi, going through the messed up drama their parents, and grandparents went through. Ethan ended up marrying Alex, after all of the hard times. He thought he wanted Kate, but he didn't after all.
"Happy Birth-" Dylan starts, and Spencer yells, "Aunt Jessica! It's so nice to see you!" She greets, reaching out to hug him, but he just walks right past her. She frowns, and says, "I'm turning 7. No kissy?" She asks, and Dylan shakes his head. "You expect me to kiss you after you call me Aunt Jessica? My ass." Dylan mutters, then she says, "Fine." She frowns. "Uncle Dylan, do I get a kiss?" She hesitates, and he smirks, and plants a kiss on her cheek. "Happy birthday." He says, and walks over to his sister.
"Oh you just gotta love kids." Julia smiles, and Dylan nods. "I know right." Zac runs over to him, and sits down between them. Behind him, was his granddaughter Spencer, who was up for a piggy back ride. Ethan came behind him, and dragged away his energetic niece. Julia smiled, then got up. "Where you going?" Dylan asks. He wasn't exactly entirely close to his siblings as by the time he could walk and talk, they were all out of the house. Ethan did stop by a lot, to look for help from Eli.
"Get some more soda, why you care?" Julia teases, and Dylan shrugs. "Like CeCe says, better to know stuff before they're gone." Dylan quotes, thinking back to spending time with his grandmother before she passed away. "The great CeCelia Goldsworthy did have her charm and wisdom. I mean, without her and Bullfrog none of us would be here. Well, on Dad's side." Julia smiles, turning to Allison who was with Tyson, who were kissing. Friends and family were all over the place, and Dylan smirks. Little Spencer gets a huge party with a lot of people though he gets a small get-together with his friends.
'Jessica' was the 'it girl' in Degrassi but it all crashed down when he found out. Being transgender was an extremely rare thing in 'her' generation, so people paced themselves when it came to Dylan, which bothered Dylan greatly. 'Jessica' lost her boyfriend, friends, popularity and was at the bottom of the dumps. Dylan cut his hair short, then let it go shaggy. Then, willingly, Adam convinced Eli and Clare to get operated, so Adam and his godson could bond.
Dylan was really close to Adam, and was depressed when Adam almost died by cancer. Eli and Clare were cuddled together in the living room, with kids screaming around, talking and jumping and having fun. They stared into each other's eyes, in a romantic silence. "You have pretty eyes." Eli breaks the silence, and Clare fake whines. "Oh come on, you ruined the silence! I was actually falling for it." Clare says, and they kiss. "Oh haha. I screw up on a lot of things, don't I?" Eli asks, and Clare nods. "Well, I'm stuck with you." Eli says, and Clare strokes his cheek. "Well then I guess you're stuck with me, just like you said I was stuck with you." Clare recalls her saying this, and he nods.
"I love you." "I love you too." Another kiss. Eli kisses her, passionately, and says, "Well, Edwards, we're going to be together, for The Rest Of Our Lives."
