Author's Note: And here it is. The last chapter. A day late but here it is! I had a difficult time with this. I was going to use Wallace but changed my mind. Anyway, thank you everyone who reviewed and faved this story! I'm so glad you all liked it and I hope you all enjoyed the ride. Now that it's over, why don't you go and give the challenge a try yourself? You can find it in the HM forum Challenges of the Homestead. Good luck if you pick it up!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters you see in here. Just the plot. Based on HarvestMoonAddict/Regardless1604's Reflection of the Heart Challenge.
When Kurt and Joe appeared on his doorstep years ago, Woody didn't know what to do with them. They were scrawny and looked like a horrible mess yet here they were, Kurt asking for some work. The boss in him told him to send them away. They would never be good enough workers and they would just get in the way and make a mess. But the grandfather in him told him to take them in. When he looked at Gwen, he couldn't help but think that he would have wanted someone to take her in too if anything had ever happened to himself and her parents.
And so, he took them in.
Within a matter of days, Kurt and Joe proved him wrong. So to speak. With some weight on their bones and their jobs explained, they had no problems adjusting to the way things worked at the carpentry shop. Woody never regretted his decision to take them on as apprentices. It was his act of good will and his act of a grandfather.
