Okay. Sadly, this is the last chapter of the story. I want to thank you all for reading my latest tale. It was a lot of fun writing this story. I hope you all enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing. Was anybody surprised by the last chapter with the twist at the end? There was no way I could do that to the Lunatic Fringe. I like to dedicate this story to a good friend of mine as well as the fans of the WWE. Thank you all and God Bless. AUTHOR'S NOTE* ALL CREDIT GOES TO BON JOVI FOR "IT'S MY LIFE".

CHAPTER 22

All the members of The Shield were on stage ready to play the final song with Seth on bass and Dean on electric guitar. Dean also went the Richie Sambora route by using the talk box fastened to the mic stand.

"All right, Boston!" said Jake into his microphone. "LET'S ROCK!"

Roman Reigns gave the count down and the song began.

VERSE 1

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted.

No silent prayer for the faith-departed.

I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd.

You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud.

CHORUS

It's my life, it's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever.

I just want to live while I'm alive. (It's my life)

My heart is like and open highway. Like Frankie said, I did it my way.

I just want to live while I'm alive.

It's my life.

VERSE 2

This is for the one's who stood their ground.

For Tommy and Gina who never backed down.

Tomorrow's getting harded make no mistake.

Luck ain't even lucky, got to make your own breaks.

CHORUS

It's my life, it's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever.

I just want to live while I'm alive. (It's my life)

My heart is like an open highway. Like Frankie said, I did it my way.

I just want to live while I'm alive.

It's my life.

(Guitar Solo)

VERSE 3

Better stand tall when they're calling you out.

Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down.

CHORUS

It's my life and it's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever.

I just want to live while I'm alive. (It's my life)

My heart is like and open highway. Like Frankie said, I did it my way.

I just want to live while I'm alive.

(It's my life) And it's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever.

I just want to live while I'm alive. (It's my life)

My heart is like an open highway. Like Frankie said, I did it my way.

I just want to live while I'm alive.

It's my life.

Applause sounded from those in attendance.

"HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR EVERYONE!" Jake shouted.

-Less than 3 minutes till 2017 and Club DKS was gathered around the tv along with everyone in attendance. They were going to watch the ball in New York City drop, bringing in the New Year.

"What a crazy few months this has been," Seth commented.

"I agree," Kayla stated. "So much has changed. Probably the best thing is Dean moving back to Boston."

Dean wrapped his arms around Kayla. "Happy to be here."

"You almost weren't. It was awful close."

"Thank God for doctors," Seth said.

"Yes," Dean added. "Thank God. Now that I think of it, I don't think God was ready for me yet. I left you once, Kayla. He didn't want me to leave you again."

"Not yet anyway. I want to keep you around a lot longer if you don't mind...unless you're thinking of moving again."

"Me? Move again? Hasn't crossed my mind."

"Really?"

"Not at all."

Shannon piped up. "With all due respect, Dean being back is great and all, but I have something else that will be the best thing over the past few months.

"What's that, Shannon?" Seth asked.

"A baby."

"A baby," Seth said confused.

"You, me...and a baby makes 3."

Seth's eyes widened. "You're pregnant?"

"I am. You're going to be a dad."

"WHAT?! YES!"

Seth picked Shannon up by the waist and spun her around in a circle. Dean and Kayla congratulated the couple with hugs all around.

"I want to ask you something though, Kayla," Shannon stated.

"What's that?"

"Will you be the godmother to my child?"

"Yes. Of course I will."

The two girls embraced as the bartender spoke over everyone talking.

"1 MINUTE TILL 2017!"

Everybody turned to the television as the ball was beginning to drop. Cheering and laughter sounded throughout Shooter's Pub and Grill.

Dean pulled Kayla close to his side, then reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a box. He held it out to her. She took it and opened it. Her eyes widened with shock at the ring nestled inside the box. Her green eyes turned to look into his pools of blues.

"I have something to ask you too." Kayla began to cry. "Will you marry me?"

Kayla took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto her finger as the countdown began.

"10-9-8-7-6..."

"Is that a 'Yes'" Dean pondered out loud.

"4-3-2-1. HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Kayla answered him by pulling him close till their lips met in a loving passionate kiss. Shannon and Seth shared a romantic kiss of their own. Kayla pulled away from Dean, breathing heavily.

"How's that for a 'yes'?"

"I'll take it. Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year to you too."

Shannon took her ipod out of her pocket and touched the camera app. "Okay you guys. Get together. New Year's selfie." The four friends gathered together for a closeup. "Now...say Club DKS."

"CLUB DKS!"

*SNAP*
