Epilogue.

Jeff sat down on the blanket that they had spread out on the grass in the local park. Dixie had come up with the idea that they should go and spend the day there. He had thought it was a brilliant idea and now everyone was here. Dixie was lazily stroking Little Abs' head and watching Polly, Cyd and Hannah messing around with a Frisbee that she had brought with them. 'I am glad we decided to do this Dixie. I like spending time with you all.'

'I am glad too, it is nice to make the most of our days off.'

'Yeah, it is.'

'Jeff, I'm sorry it didn't work out with Sarah.'

'You don't need to apologise Dixie, you haven't done anything wrong. I can't be with someone that has such bigoted views as the ones she has.'

'Did she really say that lesbians were unnatural?'

'Yeah, I told her that you and Hannah mean the world to me and if she has a problem with either of you then I don't want anything to do with her. She said that me living with Polly was weird too, as if I am sleeping with her or something.' Dixie heard the disgust in Jeff's voice, he'd only ever loved Polly as his daughter.

'We all know that it is innocent and Polly thinks of you as a father.'

'I know, she needs a father figure and I'm going to be that person.'

'You really are a lovely man Jeff, you deserve better.'

'Thanks Dixie, I know I've made mistakes in the past but I want to do better this time.'

'You will do, I told you, I will find you someone lovely.' Jeff smiled and put his hand on top of Dixie's.

'Whoever I end up with has to understand that my friendship with you means the world to me and I will not put you aside for them.'

'Thanks mate, don't worry, someday you will find someone special that loves you.'

'I hope you're right. I thought Sarah was nice and look what she turned out to be.'

'I am right, forget her Jeff, like I said, you deserve better love.' Dixie sat up and then snuggled up to Jeff, she was unhappy that Sarah had made Jeff feel sad with the things that she had been saying to him. Jeff put his arm around Dixie and held her, he had always been loyal to Dixie, she is his best friend and nobody would ever change that.

Dixie sighed, she just wanted Jeff to have some happiness in his life, she was determined to find him someone that would love him dearly and treat him the way he deserved to be treated. 'You'll always have me, you know that don't you? You're my best friend Jeffrey Collier and I love you to bits.'

'I know that, I love you too.'

'Hannah loves you too.'

'I am happy you have her Dixie, happy that you have someone who loves you.'

'You're a sweet man Mr Collier.'

'Have you decided a date for the big wedding?'

'I don't know if it is going to be a big wedding but we have decided to have it around the time we got together.'

'That sounds wonderful Dixie. I am going to help you plan it all and I'll help you get ready on the day, I believe it is my duty as your best man.'

'Of course it is, you better be there Mr Collier, I'm going to need your help to keep my nerves in check when I'm going to marry Hannah.'

'You don't have anything to be nervous about, Hannah loves you and she agreed to marry you because of the love that you both share.'

'Yeah, I am lucky to have her.'

'She's lucky to have you too Dixie, you're a special person Miss Dixon. Are you still going to be Dixon?'

'I will be, it looks like Hannah will be too, she wants to take my name.' Jeff smiled.

'That's good, I think it shows how much she loves you.'

'I know, I'm one of the lucky ones.' Dixie looked over at Hannah, she had a smile on her face and looked like she was enjoying herself playing with Cyd and Polly.

Hannah picked up the Frisbee and smiled at Polly, Cyd had gone to sit down on the blanket with Dixie and Jeff. 'Pol, we almost have a date for the wedding.'

'Oh, good, tell me, don't keep me in suspense.'

'It will be in November sometime. We will decide the actual date when my dad comes to visit us.'

'That is the time that you two went on your first date. That is so romantic. I love it.'

'I thought you would like that.'

'I do, I can't wait to be a bridesmaid for you both. Do you know where you're going to have it?'

'Not yet, we're thinking somewhere small and private with just close friends and family.'

'That is a great idea, it will be so romantic and beautiful.' Hannah heard Polly sigh happily, no doubt she was daydreaming over what they day will be like. 'Hannah, how is your dad?'

'He's well, the counselling is helping with his feelings over what happened.'

'I am glad to hear it. He didn't deserve that, your dad is such a lovely man Hannah.'

'I know he is, you should come around and see us when he's here.'

'I'll do that, I'll bring Jeff too.'

'I'd like that, I know Dixie will like it too.'

'I can't believe that Sarah woman, she seemed so nice and yet she wasn't.'

'Poor Jeff, he deserves someone nice, someone better than her.'

'He does,' Polly sighed quietly. 'He will always have us, we love him.'

'We do. I thought Dixie was going to haul her over hot coals several times when she heard what Sarah said to him.'

'I would have let her.'

'Me too.' Hannah linked arms with Polly and they slowly walked back over to the blanket where their friends sat waiting.

Cyd looked around at the people that were sat near her, Jeff was lying down on his front in the sun and he looked to be asleep. Dixie was sat near him and she looked as if she was getting an idea in her head about doing something that could potentially get her in a lot of trouble. Dixie always got a specific look on her face when she was planning something. Cyd moved herself closer to Hannah and Polly. 'Hannah, what is Dixie up to?'

'I'm not sure, she is definitely up to something though.'

'It is the look, right?'

'Yes, she has that look.' Cyd tried her hardest to stifle a laugh when she saw Dixie take one of the ice packs out of the box that they had stored some drinks in for their trip to the park. 'She's definitely going to get in trouble for this one,' Hannah said with a smile.

'Aren't you going to stop her?'

'No, I know better, once Dixie has something in mind then getting in the way is dangerous.'

'True.' Cyd watched Dixie closely as she took the ice pack, split it open and shoved the loose ice cubes down the back of Jeff's shirt. She could hear Hannah and Polly quietly laughing as Jeff suddenly woke up and realised that something very cold was touching him.

'What the bloody hell is that,' Jeff yelled and sat up, he pulled his shirt out from his pants and the ice cubes fell out onto the blanket. 'Dixie Dixon, I know that was you.' Cyd looked at Dixie who was laughing her head off. 'Right princess, it's payback time.' Jeff quickly moved and pinned Dixie down to the blanket and started to mercilessly tickle her. Cyd couldn't help but laugh at the antics of her friends. Dixie was pleading to be let go but Jeff wasn't having any of it.

'Jeffrey Collier, you're mean to me.'

'You should have thought about earlier that princess.'

'Let me go, please Jeffrey.' Dixie just managed to get her words out between giggles.

'Only when you say sorry for sticking ice down my back.'

'I'm not sorry,' Dixie said and stuck her tongue out at him.

'Then I'm not going to stop tickling you.' Dixie stuck her tongue out at Jeff again and he stepped up the tickling a little bit more. Little Abs nudged Jeff with his head as if to push him off Dixie, clearly he was siding with Dixie in all of this.

Polly chuckled as Dixie eventually apologised and Jeff let her get up, he gently pulled out some of the grass and fluff from the blanket that had ended up in her hair. Dixie went over to Hannah and snuggled up to her. 'Mean Jeffrey, he tickled me.' Hannah put her arms around Dixie and kissed her on the head.

'It's all right Dixie, I've got you, the bad man can't get you now.' Polly smiled at them both and then looked at Jeff, he still had wet patches on his shirt where Dixie had attacked him with the ice. Jeff went over to Dixie and Hannah and sat down in front of them.

'Dixie, give me a hug.'

'No, mean Jeffrey, I don't like you.' Polly knew that Dixie was joking, she could see the smile on her face. Jeff put on his best puppy dog expression.

'Please Dixie, I want a hug.' Dixie stuck her tongue out at him and snuggled up to Hannah.

'No, go away.'

'Come on Dix, you know you can't resist my lovely eyes.'

'No, you're mean to me, I don't want your hugs.'

'Fine, then I'll hug you both.' Jeff put his arms around both Dixie and Hannah. 'Come on princess, you know you like my hugs and you can't live without them.'

'I do not like your hugs, you're a mean Jeffrey.'

'You started it.'

'Did not.'

'Did too.'

'Did not.'

'I'll buy you chocolate.'

'Maybe I'll forgive you.'

'Only maybe, you know you can't resist me princess.'

'All right, you're forgiven, this time.' Polly heard Jeff laugh and then Dixie joined in, she loved the fact that they could joke like this. Polly went over and put her arms around Jeff, she saw Cyd join in the little group hug from the other side, she really enjoyed it when they spent days like this together.

Hannah looked up from where she was in the group hug and she saw some people looking at them. 'Guys, we're getting some very strange looks.' She eventually managed to untangle herself from the group hug that she had found herself buried in. Dixie stayed in her arms, it looked as if she was quite happy there.

'I think it is time for food,' Jeff said.

'You always think it is time for food Jeffrey.'

'I do not Dix.'

'Do too.'

'So? I like to eat, it is nearly tea time. I say we pack up and go to the pub for some food.'

'Now there's an idea Mr Collier.'

'See, I'm not the only one that likes my food.'

'Come on then, let's pack up and we'll go for something to eat.' Hannah let go of Dixie and then she stood up, Jeff folded up the blanket and picked up the basket that contained the drinks. Dixie put Little Abs on his lead and then slipped it over her wrist. Hannah looked over as Dixie linked arms with her and then with Jeff on the other side, she offered her free arm to Polly and Polly linked arms with Cyd.

'Come on then, I think we're ready.' They set off in the direction of the pub and Hannah looked over at all of the friends and the woman she loves, she was quite happy to have them in her life, they made her happy and she was looking forward to spending more time with them. They had had a lovely day at the park and she just knew that there plenty more lovely days to come in the future. Hannah leaned over and kissed Dixie on the cheek. 'I love you Dixie.'

'Love you too beautiful.' She gently squeezed Dixie's hand and Dixie squeezed hers too, there was plenty to look forward to in their future.
