I have returned! After a long few weeks of being super busy with other stories and brainstorming as hard as I possibly can for this ending, I am back to give you guys the ending that you deserve and that you'll love. With Kevin, Sheriff Keller, Reggie, Moose and most importantly Mevin (or Kevoose, whatever you want to call it). Please enjoy

Sierra stood inside Tom's bedroom, standing in from of him. Adjusting the shirt that she had bought him as gift for the dinner party that Betty and Veronica were throwing. The mayor adjusting the navy blue collared shirt so that it looked decent. Sierra smiled and she fixed his shirt so that no wrinkles were visible. "There." she said. "How do you like it?"

Tom turned over to the full length mirror that stood near his bed to look at how Sierra had dressed him. He looked casual. The shirt's sleeves had been rolled up to his elbows and tucked into the dark brown slacks that he wore all the time. He smiled and nodded, taking Sierra's hand that was resting on his hip. "I love it. I love you too." he said, moving over and kissing her.

Sierra kissed back and turned over to his dresser. "Here." he said. "Let me fix up your hair too."

Sierra grabbed a bottle of hair pomade and comb. She slowly teased his grey hair before adding a small amount of the product to the hair. Tom's hand went to her waist as he started to fix it to look decent. Once Sierra was done, she set the comb down and kissed his cheek. Tom smiled and he turned to her. "Now go get dressed." he said. "I know how Betty is about being late, so go on ahead and put on your dress."

Sierra nodded and grabbed the make-up bag that she had brought with her to the Keller household. "Be right back, okay?" she said, walking off to the bathroom inside his room.

Keller smiled and he walked over to the vanity that his soon to be ex wife would often use for make-up on dates and brushing her hair every day. He adjusted the collar of his new shirt and fixed the sideburns that weren't pushed down from the pomade. He heard the doorbell bring and he looked over. "I'll be back Sierra. It's probably just Betty or Archie." he called to the bedroom and he walked downstairs. He heard the doorbell ring again and he ran towards the door. "Coming. I'm coming."

Keller opened the door. His eyes widened at who was there. Looking better than he had seen him recently. It was his son. The one that left. Kevin Keller. Kevin's smiled widened and his eyes lit up. "Dad!" he cried.

He moved over and hugged his father. Tom hugged back immediately smiling and clutching him close to him. He had been away from him from so so long and Keller had missed him. Missed him so so much. Keller hugged him tightly and held him close. "K-Kevin! Oh Kev!" he cried, rubbing the back of his neck like he always did when he hugged his son. He let go and he held his son's cheeks in his, looking at him with a protective look in his eyes. Kevin knew that look all too well. He always had this look when Kevin came home late or he was beaten pretty hard in a wrestling match.

"Kevin... where were you?" Tom asked, moving his head slowly from side to side. Obviously looking for injuries. "I was so worried about you. I was looking everywhere for you. I was scared that you were... that you had..."

"Dad." Kevin called to him, snapping his attention immediately. "Dad, I promise. I wasn't in any danger or anywhere dangerous. Moose was with me."

Kevin motioned for someone to come close. It was Moose. The young football player walked over to him and he smiled. "Mr. Keller... I am so sorry for hiding Kevin from you. I wanted to go to, I swear. But he told me what happened and-"

"Moose." Tom said with a smile. "It's okay. I know that Kevin didn't want to see me. But I'm glad that you kept him safe for me." Tom looked back over to Kevin and he smiled, taking his hand and gesturing him inside the house. "Come inside. Please."

Kevin nodded and he followed his father inside the house that he parted with for weeks. "You didn't change a thing." he said, looking around the house.

"Of course not." Keller said, motioning over to the couch. "Take seat. I want to take a look at you."

Kevin sat down, Moose sitting down right next to him and he took Kevin's hand in his, trying to relax him in any way possible. Kevin relaxed and he looked at Moose's dark brown and comforting eyes. Moose kissed his cheek as Tom took a seat in the chair directly across from him. "How have you been Kev?" he asked. "I don't want to pry but I haven't seen you in weeks. I mean, where did you go after I hurt you? What happened to you Kevin? Why did you-"

"It's okay dad." Kevin said. "After I ran away, I went to Betty's. She cleaned my cut and I slept there. After that, I rented out a room in a hotel. I came back home when you were sleeping on the ground drunk and too some things that would need. Including one of your guns."

"Speaking of." Moose said, going inside his bag and pulling out the handgun very carefully. The safety was on and Moose handed the gun to him with the trigger facing the sheriff. "I wanted to be careful around Kevin. So here you go."

"Thanks Moose." Tom said, taking the gun and putting it on the coffee table. "Tell me what else happened to you Kev."

Kevin nodded and he exhaled. Moose rubbed Kevin's palm, trying to calm him down because panic attacks weren't a huge deal with Kevin. Moose smiled at him, making Tom smiled. At least his son found someone decent to make him happy. Kevin looked back at his father and continued his story of where he had been. "I was going to stay there at the motel and just hide out until this whole thing between you and me washed over. And if it didn't, I was planning to juts run off to Greendale. But everything went south when FP came. He had Serpents with him."

"Serpent scum." Moose uttered under his breath, holding Kevin's hand tighter and protectively.

"They attacked me. I tried to get away, but they grabbed me, tied me up and shoved me in the trunk of FP's car. I remember all the times you taught me how to escape if I was ever kidnapped and I was able to get out of the car. I couldn't get myself untied yet, and then the Ghoulies came." Kevin sighed loudly, making Tom shiver because all he wanted to do was attack and kill the man or men that kidnapped his son and hurt him.

"I'm so sorry Kevin that I wasn't there." Tom said, shaking his head and clasping his hands in front of him.

"It's okay dad." Kevin looked over at Moose, seeking comfort. Moose pulled his head into the crook of his neck and he rubbed his shoulder. Tom smiled, happy that his son was happy or at least comfortable around this young man from his school. "My arm was already hurt from when you hit me, and then plus falling out of a moving car, I was injured pretty bad and couldn't really fight back. They put a knife to my throat and started to drive off with me. I was scared out of my mind because I thought that they would kill me. And then they stopped the car to get gas or weed or whatever the hell. I wanted to scream out... but they threatened that they would find you. And that they would kill you."

Tom smiled at Kevin and leaned forward, taking his other hand that wasn't in Moose's. "It's okay son. It doesn't make you weak and it wasn't your fault at all."

"Reggie found him afterwards." Moose said, after Kevin leaned back into his arms and he started rubbing Kevin's knee when he noticed the shaking from fear of recollecting the memories.

"What was Reggie doing there?" asked a female voice. Tom turned over and saw that Sierra had come out of the bathroom. Her dress on and her make-up done. Kevin smiled at her. He had always known about his dad having an affair with the mayor and he was okay with it. Kevin smiled at the mayor and stood up. Sierra walked over and hugged him. "I'm so glad that you're alright Kevin." she said. "Your father had been worried sick about you."

"I know. But at least you were here to make him feel a bit better." Kevin said, smiling at her.

Sierra looked over at Tom. Tom had the same dumbfounded expression on his face that she and Moose had. "Did you tell him Tom?" she asked.

"I didn't have to. I know my father." Kevin said, walking back over to Moose and sitting down next to him with their hands intertwined. "I'm just glad that he's happy."

Sierra smiled and nodded. She sat down on the couch in the middle of Tom, Moose and Kevin. "So tell me then." she said. "What was Mr. Mantle doing at that gas station?"

"Reggie just left basketball practice." Moose said, not knowing if Kevin knew why Reggie was there or not. "He said that he was heading upstate because it was the only cheap gas station near Riverdale."

Kevin smiled and rubbed his cheek on Moose's neck. Tom smiled and he listened to Kevin. His son seemed to be so afraid, but at least he was home now. Now the father could make him feel better. "Reggie broke their window opened and helped untie me. I was tired and disoriented. Probably getting sick. So Reggie drove me over to Moose's house. And the two took care of me."

Tom looked over at Moose. "I can't thank you enough for that." he said. "Kevin means so much to me. I'm glad that you helped him, especially when he needed it the most."

Sierra leaned forward in her chair, looking at Kevin. "What happened after that?"

"I was sick and pretty disoriented for a while. I wanted my dad but... I didn't at the same time. I wanted him and I wanted to see him but I know that he still hurt me. I was so scared." Kevin shook his head. "Moose took me up to one of his family's homes in upstate in Riverdale. He nursed me back to health and then... then I knew I was ready to come home."

Tom stood up, Kevin standing up when he did. They hugged, Kevin letting out small sobs into his shoulder. "I'm so glad that you came back Kevin. I'm so glad that you came back and that you're alright."

Sierra smiled. "Maybe we should let Betty and Miss Lodge know that we won't be able to make it."

"Betty and Veronica?" Kevin said, sounding excited to see the friends that he hadn't seen in weeks.

"They were hosting a dinner party for you." Tom explained. "But know that you're home, you can stay here and-"

"No, no, no, no." Kevin said with a smile. "I don't mind going. I want to see them. I miss them."

Tom smiled and rubbed the back of his son's neck. Sierra smiled and she walked over to Moose. "Come on Mr. Mason." she said with a smile. "Let's give the two some privacy. I think that they deserve it."

Moose nodded and he stood up. He walked over to Kevin and he kissed his temple. "I'll be back." he said with a smile before walking off with Riverdale's mayor.

Kevin and Tom looked over to each other. "Kevin, listen. About hitting you. I will never, never do it again."

Kevin smiled with an inaudible chuckle. "Pinky promise?" he said with a wide grin.

Tom followed his wide grin and nodded. "Yes. Yes Kevin I promise. Now can you.. can you give your old man another hug."

"You don't even have to ask." Kevin pulled his father close to him and the sheriff rubbed the back of his neck. His own tears and sobs falling down his face and onto Kevin's shoulder. "I'm here now dad." Kevin said to his father as he cried tears of joy in his arms. "I'm here now."

Keller cried his son's arms until he had to let go. Kevin smiled at him and walked with his father to the front door. Tom walked over to Sierra, who was speaking to Moose and kissed her cheek. "We'll be in the car." he said, slapping his son's shoulder. "I think that you two need a moment as well."

Tom took Sierra in his arms and walked over to the car he used for special occasions. Moose looked over at Kevin and he smiled. "What was Mayor McCoy talking to you about?" Kevin asked.

"She was just thanking me for keeping you safe." Moose said, moving forward and kissing Kevin. Kevin kissed back, holding Moose's neck in his hands as he did. "I'll always keep you safe Keller."

Kevin smiled and he hugged Moose. "Go on." Moose said. "I think that you and your dad deserve the time you missed."

"So uh... see you at school?" Kevin asked with his usual cheeky blush.

Moose smiled and nodded. He gave Kevin another peck on the lips. "See you at school Keller."

Moose walked down the steps of the house and blew a kiss to Kevin as he walked to his car. Kevin walked back to his dad and gave him a side hug. "Come on." Tom said, kissing his son's cheek. "We have a lot to catch up on."

"That we do dad." Kevin said with a smile. He got into the car and he listened as Sierra and Tom started to speak to Kevin and talk to him about literally anything in his life. Kevin missed this. Talks in the car. Laughing. Being himself.

And more and most importantly. He missed his father.

But they're together now. And that's all the matters.

The End.
