Kate's arraignment was held in September. She pled guilty to all of the counts that were being brought against her. It killed James to sit behind her and watch her say everything. He had told her that pleading guilty would be their best bet at a plea bargain and that would be the best bet of keeping her out of jail. She couldn't afford to go to jail; that is something that both of them decided. James decided to do everything in his power to have Kate stay out of jail.

So when she pled guilty and the court was adjourned, the prosecutor pulled Kate aside. They had the plea bargain meeting. They wanted Kate to spend five years and jail and another 10 on probation. Their lawyer looked at Kate and then at James. James was staring at Kate's stomach. Then he looked at their lawyer and shook his head. No. He couldn't afford to have Kate in jail for five years. The probation wasn't that big of a deal. The time in jail is what James was uncomfortable with.

So they spent an hour in the room, going back and forth. Their lawyer suggested no time in jail, 10 years probation. The prosecutors countered with a year in jail, still 10 years of probation.

"Look," the lawyer finally said after the hour. "Kate is seven months pregnant. She is married. She is starting a family. She needs to be there for her child and for her husband. No time in jail. Just probation. You think she is going to be a flight risk? She's not going to be. Ten years probation, no jail. That's our final offer. Do we have a deal or not?" he said, his Scottish accent sort of menacing.

The prosecutor sighed, running his hands through his gray hair. "Fine. Fine. You have a deal. But she can't leave the state during those ten years. I still think she is going to be a flight risk," he said, glancing at Kate with a dark look.

"Frank, I am a wife. I am going to be a mother. I'm not going to run. I have never run before. I accept everything that has happened and I just want to move on," Kate said, looking at Frank.

Frank nodded and then he drew up the paperwork with their lawyer so that Kate could sign it.

After everything was said and done, Kate was a free woman again. James shook the lawyer's hand with a wide smile. "Thank you so much, Desmond. You have saved us. You have saved our family," he said with a smile.

Desmond returned the smile. "You're welcome, brother," he said. Then Desmond turned to Kate and she hugged him tightly, tears falling down her cheeks.

"Thank you so much, Desmond. I don't know how to repay you," she said, smiling.

Roxanne Caitlin Ford was born on November 27. James fell in love with his daughter the moment he saw her. She was the spitting image of Kate, yet had blonde hair, inherited from her father. She was about 20 inches long and she was the most extraordinary thing James had ever seen. She was his daughter.

He had cried when he first saw Roxy; James wasn't afraid to admit it. He watched Kate hold their daughter, Roxy's small hand holding onto Kate's finger. James looked down at Kate and she looked up at him, tears glazing her eyes and that pearly white smile plastered on her face.

James couldn't believe everything that had happened in his life in the past two years. It was unexpected, sure, but he wouldn't change it for the world. Roxy was the new beginning that he and Kate needed after the robberies, after the trial.

And their life was perfect. James had his job at the insurance company. Kate, for the time being, was staying at home to take care of Roxy. James and Kate both agreed though that once Roxy was a year old Kate would get a job. She couldn't sit in the house anymore. She was going insane.

Things were fixed between Miles and James. James knew that Miles was doing the right thing by arresting Kate, so James couldn't stay mad at him for long.

But, after everything James had been through — the army, the carnival, the robberies — he knew that this is where he was supposed to be. He was supposed to be home, in Tennessee. He was supposed to be married to Kate. He was supposed to have a family with her.

James was the happiest man alive and forever grateful for his unexpected life and his new beginning, his daughter.
