Ahh... We bid you...

Two years later, Sally gave him a daughter. Melody. And, not to say that it wasn't a big repeat of the birth of Junior, but it was. Only Mary held onto 2-year-old Junior, focusing on the shy but sweet boy. How the two of Sally and Johnny had a shy and sweet son, she hadn't the slightest idea! Especially with Johnny's friends spending time with the two so much, as well as Sally's boys!

And now that Mary thought about it, she looked at the nervous wreck known as Johnny, her son, and cleared her throat, "You two need a house. That damned apartment isn't big enough for all of you."

Johnny sighed and pushed his fingers through his hair, "Yeah but, I don't think we can afford one, mama" he said, looking at her, "Even with your salaries combined we make just enough to live here- and.. well, working full-time doesn't seem right. The kids need to see us, you know?"

"Well, actually…" Dillan cleared his throat before reaching into his jacket and pulling out folded papers before handing them to Johnny, "It's affordable for the two of you… It's owned by my father's company, which means it's mine since he's incapable of handling it. Now! I know you two don't want handouts, but you'd just owe me rent and I don't mind it. I made sure it was affordable for both of you."

Mary smiled, "That's right. And I've looked at it and it's fabulous. A nice updated kitchen for Sally, a cozy living room, a basement with a washer and dryer, a nice fenced off backyard, four bedrooms two bathrooms, a connected garage. It's just perfect for the two of you and your obviously growing family." she gushed.

Johnny took the papers and looked down at the pictures of the house, "It.. it does look nice, but, I'll have to talk to Sally. She's home more than me and it's her choice in the end." he said and looked up at them, "You've been plotting this awhile, huh?"

The two older couple shared a fond look, "You could say that." Dillan said.

Jr. squirmed, "Mommy! Want mommy!" Mary hummed, "Now, now. Mommy's busy, but we'll see her when she's all done, alright? So you just calm down and stop that fussing, y'hear?" Jr. nodded, tears in his eyes, wishing desperately for Sally to finish what ever it was she was doing.

Johnny pulled Junior close to himself, "Hey hey, calm down buddy." he said kissing the boys head, "Mommy's gonna be here any second, kay?"

Johnny spoiled them rotten. Sally tried to be practical while Mary and Dillon were firm. Both the kids knew, at their young ages, that if they fussed enough at Johnny he'd bow to their every whim.

Now, Sally wasn't too fond of the idea because she knew they'd do it. She even made it a point to tell Johnny so.

After a while, they were enrolled school and growing up fast. They'd picked up a slight routine; Sally wakes up with everyone piled into hers and Johnny's bed, rushes everyone to get ready, does her thing, starts lunches for everyone, halfway through she rushes back up to the room and attempts to awaken her family again, Jr. wakes up and asks to help, Sally says no go get ready, they argue and he fusses, Johnny finally sits up and shouts for them to shut up but both ignore him, after she's sure that every one is awake, she heads back downstairs and finishes the lunches, packs them away, finishes getting ready, rushes the kids to their rooms to get ready then looks at Johnny and asks how she looks, he attempts to get her in bed, she turns him down with well placed scolds, he gets ready as she does some last minute things, kids come back but look a disaster, so she goes with them and dresses them, FINALLY, she kisses Johnny goodbye and drops the kids off at school before driving to Bullworth for work.

When she gets off of work, she rushes to their school, picks them up, sometimes has a nice discussion with one of their teachers, often for violence, takes them home, has them get straight to their homework at the kitchen table while she starts on dinner, both finish quite quickly then proceed to ask if they can help with dinner, Sally says yes to the help and slows herself down to teach them what she's doing and why she's doing it, right before dinner finishes Johnny comes home and asks what's cooking then kisses his family, Sally scolds him for being dirty from work and tells him to go and take a shower then come down for dinner, Johnny grumbles about having to take one every damned day but does as Sally says, anyways, he comes down to a set table and everyone waiting on him, they eat, they talk, Johnny and the kids watch evening cartoons before bed while Sally does some paper work and grading, at 9 it's time for bed and everything is relatively calm until both parents have to hunt down their children to put them in their rooms, 9:30 and the kids are in bed, Sally and Johnny are exhausted and are quick to snuggle in bed, 10:30 and Melody hops in with them, 11 is when Jr. joins them, then it starts all over…

And that's all on the weekdays! But they enjoy it thoroughly.

By the time Jr. was 10 and Melody was 8, Sally found herself pregnant once more and broke the news to Johnny at one of their usual barbeques. Johnny was first to blurt the news and had to tell everyone due to a bet he and Sally made.

Peanut married a blond woman named Joyce who was actually a small time actress in independent films. They had a pair of 9-year-old twins named Alice and Olive.

But unlike the first two times with Sally's pregnancy, she was to give birth to a pair of twins.

Hal opened up a restaurant which brought in a lot of money and quickly achieved top standards in many important peoples' books, yet remained very affordable.

Jimmy and Zoe had a miscarriage that one year at Bullworth, but supposedly, Zoe was pregnant once more. Poor thing was due for quadruplets. Imagine the horror of four Jimmy's running around. No thanks.

Jr. did basketball and a bit of track running every now and again, while Melody loved working on machines and had a deep seeded love for vehicles and motorcycles. And by the time they got to Bullworth, they were part of two cliques; Jocks and Greasers, which seemed to remain quite friendly towards one another. The Bullies also hung around with the Jocks and Greasers quite often.

One day, Melody returned home with a young Nerd who was a grade higher than her and asked if the two of them could go out.

Sally gaped, "W-what?"

Johnny felt his heart stop and had to breathe slow a second before regaining himself. Then he saw that green astrology club or whatever it was vest and he groaned aloud.

"Melly, baby doll," he said slowly, "Are you sure?"

Melody nodded, with a large grin, "Of course! I like Nelson, he's one of the only Nerds who doesn't gape as I walk by!" she said, motioning to the dirty blond boy with thinly rimmed rectangular glasses. He actually looked quite well put together, unlike the sloppy hunching of quite a few of the other Nerds.

Sally stood up and grabbed Nelson, dragging him into the kitchen, "Listen here, boy. You do anything foul and I'll skin you alive! You got me, short stack?" The boy nodded, "Of course Mrs. Vincent! I wouldn't dream of-"

"Quiet! Bring her back before curfew or I'll drop you another grade to where you will have to repeat this year! Are we clear?" She threatened again, "This is my baby girl! My Melody."

Nelson nodded, "I have purest of intentions, ma'am."

Sally clenched her teeth a moment longer, then smiled, "I'd hope so, if I were you. And if you get my daughter pregnant… Well, let's just say I'll buy a shotgun."

With another nod, Nelson was escorted back to the living room.

"Mom!? What'd you do to Nelson? He's like pale!" Melody whined.

"I'M GOING TO GET YOUUUU!" Shouted Jr., chasing the young twins down the stairs, "Hey ma, dad, Melody, and Nelson." he stated absentmindedly as he passed, then stopped. As he stood up, he blinked at Nelson, "Nelson? What the hell are you doing here?"

"Taking Melody out." Nelson answered.

Jr. was very confused a moment, then looked to Sally, "You bust his balls, Ma?"

She nodded, "Of course. You can continue playing now."

Jr. nodded, "Alright. I'll bust his balls when he gets back unless Dad wants to?" and everyone looked to Johnny still seated.

Johnny sighed loudly, "Yuhp. Everythin' Sally said an' worse." he said firmly, "I got a rifle right upstairs kid, an' I think I got th'right if ya so much as look at 'er funny. Ya dig?"

Nelson nodded, "I'll have her back before curfew."

Sally smirked, "Alrighty, good bye then." and she turned, but Melody wasn't done.

"Can I borrow one of the car's?"

Even the twin's looked at her funny.

Sally blinked, "You don't have your license."

"Nelson does!" She declared happily, to which Nelson paled once again.

"Uh, I don't think that's a good idea, Melody. I mean we just-"

"Out of the question Melody." Sally stated firmly.

Melody pouted, "But-" "No!" so finding Sally a lost cause, she looked to Johnny, "Daddy?!? Pleeeeease?!"

Sally glared at Johnny, awaiting his answer.

Jr. blinked and wondered if Sally'd feast upon both Nelson and Melody for tonight. She seemed… oh, what's the right word? Bristled. It kind of made him have to suppress his laughter.

Johnny shook his head, "There is no way in hell two high schoolers are takin' one'a my babies out for a joy ride. Ut-uh no way. You walk or ride a bike- that's how your ma an' I got around!"

Johnny, who generally caved in on anything the kids wanted, was far too protective of his cars, and proud of his career as a mechanic, to allow them to borrow one.

Melody stomped, "This is so not cool!"

Sally's eyebrows rose, "Oh? Want 'not fair'? How's'bout you stay home tonight? Girl, you don't understand the meaning of the phrase, 'not fair'. Now you either haul ass the fuck out of my house to go out with your silly little boyfriend, or you stay and do chores! How's that sound?"

Jr. Clamped a hand over his mouth to keep from bursting out laughing at the predicament.

"Nope! That's alright! We'll walk!" Melody said quickly before grabbing onto poor Nelson and dragging him from the house.

Sally smirked and glanced around before her eyes landed on Jr. "When you gonna get a girlfriend?"

Jr. blushed, "I-I dunno, mah. It's just… None of those girls are serious. They all wanna jump on the guy that'll dote on them most and that just ain't cool."

She smiled, "You'll find one. I'm sure." her gaze turned to Johnny, "Right Johnny?"

Johnny smiled at her and nodded, "Mhm! You'll find one gorgeous woman that acts just like ya mom!" he said and ruffled the boy's hair.

Jr. growled, "C'mon, man! Why can't yuh just leave my hair alone?" and he whipped out a comb to fix it.

Sally rolled her eyes, "Why can't you just accept that because you fuss so much over it, that we're always going to mess it up?"

Johnny laughed, "You're as bad as Vance was with his hair. Jus' ya better stop 'fore ya go gay on us!" he said and messed up his hair again.

Sally snorted, "Alright… Jr.? Stop hemming and hawing over your hair, put the twins to bed, take your shower-"

"Yeah, yeah. Ma… I know what to do." Jr. reassured the strong red headed woman who crossed her arms. "Cheryl? Meryl? Time for bed, you both heard ma!" He said ushering the twins up the stairs.

Sally watched them closely before sitting next to Johnny, "Did you ever see this in our future when we were young?" she half joked. It was still a little surreal to her.

Johnny snorted and pulled her down into his lap and kissed her neck, "Nope- 'course I didn' expect this."

She smiled happily before pecking him a few times, "And just think… Soon enough, we'll be grandparents!" she joked. "I mean, if you think about it, my mother was about 19 when she had me, I was 19 when I had Jr." she trailed off, smirking.

His eyes got wide, "Oh- HELL NO!" he exclaimed, "Not MY little girl! Ut- uh!"

Sally laughed loudly and pecked Johnny again, "Don't worry. She's strong like her mother and father, Johnny. Come on... Let's get to bed, I'm actually quite tired."

Johnny stood up with her, "Okay." he said and kissed her on the mouth, "Our kids'll be fine, like ya said." he yawned and headed up the steps with her.

"Course." she nodded, stripping then throwing on a pair of shorts and a tank top. "I think our lives turned out well. I mean, if we look back, I know I would find the both of us going nowhere… But I'm rather happy. I never thought I'd end up like this. Always thought I'd be out there in an apartment, kicking ass and shit…" she walked to the bed and pulled back the covers before sitting down to remove her jewelry and place it on her nightstand.

Johnny nodded and climbed behind and helped her remove her jewelry.

"I know." he said softly in her ear.

Once her jewelry was off he stripped down to his boxers and crawled into the bed with her, "I figure I'd have been in jail had I kept on th'path I was on…" he said.

"Thank God Dillan divorced my mother!" she chuckled, curling into Johnny's arms.

She knew that if Dillan had been a weaker man that she would have been stuck living a hard solitary life. Knew that she would never have found Johnny once again. Knew that those growing events had never had happened. Sure, she'd still have Eva, but Eva only got her so far. Could only give her so much.

But with Johnny, Sally blossomed into who she was always meant to be. Sally had the time of her life and saw disasters she'd never thought she would have. She befriended more people than she ever would have in Chicago.

She got married, lived, and got pregnant. Lived a bit more, waking to her child crying, had another child… She then got herself a solid job meaning she didn't have to leave it to Johnny to support her and the kids. Then after a while, she had two beautiful twins.

She kept in touch with her friends, offering a place to stay or a helping hand. She became someone she would have scoffed at back in Chicago, and she couldn't care less. She was as happy as could be, and that was that.

"I love you, Johnny." she said, glancing up at him.

Johnny smiled and kissed her, "You too, babe" he said

Shortly after Cheryl and Meryl were born Johnny inherrited his family's auto shop. He was now the top mechanic in Bullworth and the family had more money than they'd ever imagined.

His family was proud, not only Sally and the kids, but his mother and uncle as well. So were the other Greasers who still popped in to take the kids for the weekend, or over-night or something.

Life was good- it had turned out so much better than he could have hoped for. And so much different than he had expected when he was older.

It was perfect, and neither would dare complain.

"'Night Johnny."

Johnny yawned and flopped down, "Night."

Sally smiled and reached over to the light, staring at it a moment before clicking it off.

... Farewell!
