There was a lot of yelling but that meant nothing because when they say you see your life pass before your eyes, it's true, and I did. I saw the good and the bad. I saw the day of dad re election, Karen's bad girl stint and when I told the story of dad and Liv, meeting Zaire, winning him back. I remembered all the love that I was given. Oddly enough I was ready. Did I want more time, yes. Did and I want to be able to grow old and see my kids get married and watch my grandkids grow, hell yeah, but that wasn't meant in the cards for me. I am just glad I got the time I did with the people I love and I am able to say I got to say goodbye in a special way. It's funny that I knew this day was coming. As this day got closer and closer I prepared myself. But there is a quote that comes to mind at this moment: Death is peaceful, easy. Life is harder. Death is easy, it is unwanted but it's never hard. I can do this and be okay because I am a Grant by blood but by living I am a Grant-Pope. Goodbye.

Present

Fitz looked down at Liv and Mellie holding hands on his sons grave. His son had to die to bring them all together.

"Are you guys ready?"

"Why did you bring us here today Fitz?" Mellie asked sitting up and brining Liv with her to stand up.

"I brought you here so we can all start healing. Today we have to go in his room and pack his stuff up and I wanted to talk to him and say my peace before I have to get up another morning wondering if it all was a dream. He's gone and I wish every second that it was me in his place," a sad chuckle slipped from his lips, "he told me last night in my dream that 'Today is a new day. That today was the day we started to live again for ourselves and not others. Today was the day we will find a piece of him again' I was just happy to see him again," he lets some tears fall.

Liv looks up at him and her heart breaks but hears his words, "we keep living for Jerry."

Mellie looks at her and nods her in agreement, "we keeping loving for Jerry."

Fitz was still breaking down when they walked to him and Mellie grabbed his hands while Liv placed a hand on his cheek and the other over his heart.

"it's a new world," Liv says to him while looking in his eyes.

After another moment of standing there they all turn and leave with their hearts full. They all make it back to the White House and are standing in front of Jerry's old room. Fitz opens the door and walks in and it hits him again that his son is not coming back. Liv walks in and is struck with wonder because this is her first time in there and it's so him. Mellie walks in last and feels like she was punched in her gut. She doesn't know how but she could feel him in her stomach again when she was pregnant with him, she remember the grueling 12 hours labor, all his first. Walking over to his bed she picks up his favorite pillow and inhales it.

"It still smells like him," she says to no one in particular.

They all take time out and breathe in Jerry's smell before starting to pack up things. Hours later his room was done but Liv notices something on the floor behind his desk and bends to get it.

"Liv what are you doing?"

"Fitz there's something on the floor."

She reaches it and takes it out.

"What are those?"

"They look like letters," she puts them on top of a box they were taking with them to their house in Vermont. Everyone says their goodbyes days later and Fitz and Liv make their way to Vermont with Teddy.

Years Later

It was holiday season again and it was their turn to host the festivities. And the twins birthday party.

"Fitz can you go in the garage and get the last od the tree decorations.

"Sure babe," giving her a kiss and her pregnant belly a rub

"Don't not touch me Mr. Grant, that is the reason why we are in this predictment in our senior years.

He gives her one more kiss on her chhek and makes his way down the hall. On the way he passes Karens and her husbands room and smiles when he sees his son in law put on her shoes because she too was pregnant. Walking down the hall he agzes at the pictures of his family from babies until now. One of the last pictures he see is one of Jerry laughing and he smiles.

Fitz hated going the garage because there was so much stuff, granted it was organized because of Liv but still it was a lot. Spotting the box he needed he grabbed a stool to reach it. While reaching for it he knocks over a box and the stuff comes flying out, grabbing the box he needs and stepping down he sighs because he has to pick up the stuff. While bending down he notices it was Jerrys things. Taking his time he resentment about his fallen son. It got better over time but it still hurt to know he was gone and missing all that was happening. Seeing on last thing he picks it and there is a scream followed by giggles.

"Must mean Zai is here," he shakes his head. Looking back down what was in his hands he sees the letters that they never had the strength to open.

"There's no time like the present."

Grabbing the letters and decorations he makes it back to the family room where Liv and Karen are whispering in the kitchen about their swollen ankles, Zai was talking to Karens husband while Teddy talked to the twins about their birthday cake. He looked at his beautiful family and couldn't help but feel complete. It was a hell of a fight to get there but they fought and won. Making his way over he dropped the box and grabbed the letters to go hug Zaire.

"Glad you could make it son,"

"It's good to be back home. Plus I couldn't miss Callisto (juiptar moon) and Rigel (a star in the constellation Orion) birthday."

"I know can you believe it time goes by fast. What you got there."

"It's some letters

Before he can finish he hears a gasp from Liv. And the doorbell ring. Everyone turns to her while he goes to get the door knowing it was Mellie and her husband Ben with their son Jason.

"Mom is everything okay? Is the baby okay?"

Fitz and the Price family walk in are instantly worried.

"Hello guys. What's going on?" Mellie asked

"We are fine guys. Fitz are those thee letters?" jumping back on topic.

"Yeah. Don't you think it's time?"

"Wait his letters?"

Karen knew her parents were having a silent conversation and it was scaring her, "come on guys your scaring me here. What letters?"

"I want everyone to come sit down and I'll explain."

Wordlessly everyone one goes to sit on one couch and some hairs while Liv and Fitz take the one across from them.

Tearing up Liv speaks into Fitz shoulder, "I can't believe we forgot about these."

"Its alright sweetheart," kissing her forehead than turning back to everyone, "these letters that we are talking about belong to Jerry. We found them after we cleaned out his room."

Zaire thought about Jerry everyday and still missed him deeply but the therapy helped in the early stages . Just hearing this brought tears to his eyes because he remembers him hiding those letters and asking what they were and jerry told him it was letters to say hello another day. Karen missed her brother and after she started working hard in therapy she got better. The twins never got to meet him but they knew of their older brother and would have loved to meet him. Teddy was a little lost because he remembers Jerry but only a little. It still him some days that his brother was dead.

"What did they say?"

"I don't know," Fitz unties the ribbon, "there is one for each of us here …even the twins and Jason."

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

"I don't know."

Fitz stood up and passed the letters around, "there's one here addressed to us all."

"You should read it," Liv said staring at her letter in her hands.

"Alright,"

If you are reading this I am gone...
