A few days later, Allie and John were sitting in the visitors chairs waiting for Randy. "Are you ready for this?"
"Not really but I have to do this." She said as the door opened and Randy was shown in. "Randy." She said when he sat down.
"Allie." He replied. "You look good for someone everyone said was dead."
"Yeah." She said. "You wanted to see me. What did you want?"
"Can we talk alone please?" He said looking at John.
"I'm not leaving her alone with you."
"Are you scared she'll leave you Detective?" Allie looked at him before she slammed her hands against the table and it was then that Randy noticed her engagement ring on her hand. "You've got good taste."
"Yes, he does and we are getting married." She said to him. "You asked to see me. So, what do you want?"
"I would prefer to do this alone."
"John can hear whatever you have to say. I don't have secrets from him."
"I wanted to tell you I'm sorry."
"For which part? Lying to me? Getting me shot? Helping to kill Phil?"
He sighed. "All of it. I'm sorry I divorced you. I'm sorry I helped with Phil. I'm sorry I came back into your life and lied to you. I'm sorry about helping Drew take you and Finn. I'm so sorry I let him shoot you. I'm just sorry about it all. And I really hope you can forgive me."
"I don't know if I can. You almost got us all killed. How do I forgive that?"
"Because you're a forgiving person." He said to her. "Allie, I'm so sorry for everything. I just didn't think about anything. Drew and his buddies found out about my use of illegal things. And I just let him blackmail me. But that's not an excuse. I'm just so sorry. Please forgive me. I know if you forgive me, I can forgive myself and move on from this."
"Fine. You're forgiven."
"Am I really or are you just saying that?"
She sighed. "I really forgive you. I want to put this behind me too and move on. I'm doing that with John. Now you can too." She said standing up. "It's over Randy. I'm done with you." She didn't say anything else as she walked out.
John looked at Randy. "You have your closure now. Move on and leave Allie alone." He walked out before more was said. He walked up to Allie in the hallway. "Let's go, baby." She nodded and they headed out.
Ellie sat on the porch of the house and watched as Finn played outside with Mike. She smiled to herself. Both looked so happy. She couldn't wait until they were family.
"Mama, watch." Finn said to her. "I throw the ball."
"I'm watching baby." She smiled. She saw him throw the ball back to Mike and laugh. She loved to see her son so happy. Mike looked over and saw her watching them.
"I'll be back little man. I'm going to talk to mom."
"Okay."
Mike walked over to where she was. "Do you want to play ball with us? You're watching us pretty hard."
"Just trying to make sure this isn't just a dream."
He kissed her. "It's not."
She smiled. "And I can't wait until we are legally a family."
"I know. And we will be before long." He smiled as they heard a car. They both looked to see John and Allie driving up. "John's got a ring on his finger so I'm guessing they ran off and got married. Let them tell us about it first though okay? And once that's all settled, we can find out what the hell Randy wanted." Mike said. She nodded. "Hey guys." he said as they got out of the car.
"Hey." Allie smiled. "So, I see Finn is teaching Mike to play ball."
"Yeah because he's better than I am." Mike smiled. "So, how are you guys?"
John smiled. "Fantastic."
"Well that's great." Mike replied. "Did everything go okay with Randy?"
"Yes. I got closure and that's what I needed. Now I can start anew" She smiled. "And speaking of starting anew. John and I have some news."
"Alright, what is it?"
"We got married today."
"Well congratulations." Mike said hugging them both. "I'm happy for you."
"Thanks." John said.
"Ellie, are you okay with this? I know we always said we would be there for each other's wedding day. But John and I just wanted to be married and we were at the court house and thought why not go ahead and do it."
"I was there for your first one. Maybe this one will bring you better luck."
"I think it will." Allie smiled. "So, Chris said the paperwork has been filed and it just has to go through the system."
"That's fantastic." Ellie said smiling.
"And that means I'm one step closer to making you guys mine." Mike said as he kissed her.
"We are yours." She smiled. "The paperwork just makes it legal."
"Why don't John and I take Finn for a little while and give you guys some time alone?"
"Absolutely not. You are not spending your wedding night watching our son." Mike said. "You guys go and have a nice time. We will see you tomorrow."
"Are you guys sure?" Allie asked.
"Yes." Ellie replied. "So, go enjoy your wedding night and we will see you tomorrow."
Allie nodded and she and John headed out. She couldn't wait to celebrate their marriage. Mike hugged Ellie as they watched them drive away. "I'm glad they're happy."
"I am too." She smiled and kissed him. "And I'm glad we are happy too."
"We are aren't we?" He smiled. "And in a few months, we will be married and Finn will legally be mine."
"I've got so much to plan."
He looked at her. "Plan? How big of wedding do you want?"
"Not a really big one. Something simple here in the backyard. We can have a barbecue afterwards."
He smiled. "I like that idea. I always wanted something simple."
"Me too." She smiled. "After Allie's first wedding, I knew I wanted something simple. Randy's parents wanted this big wedding fitting a baseball star and it was huge and so overdone. And I swore I would never get married like that."
"How about we put Finn down for a nap before lunch and have some quality time of our own?"
"I love that idea." She smiled. She got up and walked over to Finn and they headed inside the house. Mike smiled as he watched her put Finn down for his nap. He couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with them. To be the family he never saw himself having with anyone. But for the first time in his life, he wanted that and it was all because of Ellie. She was the one who changed it all.
