EPILOGUE

Yes, she had missed her flight. But she hadn't missed her shot at happiness. He was standing right next to her holding her hand. She was his girl. His girl. He couldn't keep his eyes away from her. He couldn't keep his hands off of her. They had a long way to run. But they were both willing to run it together. This time they wouldn't go anywhere. In the same day Catherine had missed her flight, he had left a request of transference to Quantico Police Department on Captain's Jim Brass' desk. He didn't need to tell the reason for his suddenly request, the presence of Agent Willows in the precinct that morning had given it way. But now they stood hand on hand in the stairs of her oldest daughter's new home. They were about to knock when suddenly the doors opened.

"Oh Hello!" said Grace with a huge smile on her face. "And I know I said apartment… but this house was too cute not have it!" she said as they walked into her small house. "It has three rooms. This is one is mine." she said as she toured them around the house "This one is a guest room. So every time you guys come to the East Coast for a little sun you won't have to stay at a hotel. And this one is an office-slash-guest room if needed. It has a sofa-bed. And well… that's the kitchen.. as you can see. Dining is over there and living room is right here."

"Honey, it's beautiful!" said Catherine as they stood in the living room.

"Oh hi mom! Hi Lou! Sorry I was at the bathroom" said Lindsey as she stepped into the living room. "Lunch is ready!" said Lindsey as she looked at her watch.

"Are we expecting anyone else?" asked Lou after noticing an extra plate on the table.

As soon he said those words the front door opened and a barf was heard.

"But I don't have a dog…" said Grace

"Well.. now you do." said Nick Stokes as he stepped into his girlfriend's house.

"I thought you were kidding!" she said before kissing him in the lips "Does he have a name?"

"No. I thought you might would want to pick one"

"What shall your name be?"

"Puffy?" said Lindsey

"No! His name is gonna be… I'm gonna call you Sam. You like that?" little Sam barfed "I guess you do!" Grace picked him up and rubbed her face against his. "Thank you! He's beautiful!" she said with her eyes locked on her boyfriend's.

"You're welcome, honey." He replied before kissing her in the lips. " And now you can have someone to snuggle with when I'm in Vegas."

"I love you." she said with a calm tone full of emotion and her eyes locked up on his.

"I love you too."

"Can you two lovebirds stop it? I'm starving!" said Lindsey.

Catherine Willows took a look around the table. Happiness. Happiness was what she could read in everyone's face. She had her daughters beside her. They had had their ups and downs, their fights but they have always stood together. She took a look on her oldest daughter's face. The man beside made her happy. The kind of happiness she had never seen in her daughter's face. He was a good man and that she knew it. Even thought her youngest daughter hadn't exactly told her she could read in her face that love was near. One day she hoped to see Lindsey in the same state of happiness as her sister. And then, then she looked at the man who had heart. The one who had steal it at the first touch. He was hers. He was hers to keep. They had faced their troubled waters. And they both knew it would be a bumpy road. And they both knew they were stronger that that. They were meant to bent but never to break.

Yes, she had missed her flight. But she hadn't missed her shot at happiness. He was standing right next to her holding her hand. She was his girl. And he was her man. Agent Willows and Detective Vartann didn't sound so bad after all
