I know that I am so long overdue on this story. I apologize, I got no excuse. But now I bring you the final chapter of A Second Chance at Life.

Justin went home but not without letting Mitchie know where he was going. Alex felt like the odd one out because of the whole family reunion. She understood that they needed time to catch up and she needed to give them their space.

She was shacked up in the bedroom that she shared with Sonny. She was leaning against the headboard because there wasn't much to do in the room. Her girlfriend didn't keep a television in the room and that was a bit disappointing. She looked around the room and finally noticed that there was a laptop on the desk.

Alex got up from the bed and went over to the desk to retrieve the laptop then went back to sit on the bed. She opened it went to the login screen to only realize that it was password protected. She closed it, set it aside, and groaned as she let herself lie down on the bed.

About five minutes have passed when she heard the door creaked open. Alex looked up only slightly to notice the youngest of the sisters had entered the room.

"Have you been in here all day?" Sonny asked the older girl. She went to sit beside the older girl on the bed but not before placing the laptop on her lap. "It's not good to isolate yourself."

"I wasn't trying to." Alex replied as she sat up against the headboard. "I just thought you needed some alone time with the family."

"Yeah, but I wanted you there with me." Sonny placed the laptop on the nightstand. She moved closer to her girlfriend and pulled her into a hug. "I don't want you feel shunned because I finally have my family back together. I want you to be a part of it. So next time that we're having family night you're going to be there with us, understand?" Alex nodded her head against the younger girl's shoulder.

"So how's everything going?"

"It's going. I feel like there's still a lot to catch up on."

"Well, you guys haven't seen each other in almost a decade so I assume there will be a lot to catch up on." Alex cuddled more into the girl's side. "What did you want to do?"

"Hmm, I figured you wanted to spend the rest of the night in bed seeing as you gotten so comfortable."

"Well, I can't help that you're so comfy." She snuggled in just a bit more. "At this rate though, I could fall asleep any moment."

"This early? That can't be good."

"It is when there is a beautiful girl beside me to fall asleep with."

"Well, now that sounds much better." The two girls both proceeded to lie down fully on the bed and pulled the covers over them. It wasn't long until sleep had overcome them.

Alex woke up the next morning with an empty spot beside her. She was about to call out to her girlfriend but she took in the heavenly smell of bacon. She got out of bed and followed the smell all the way down to the kitchen. She found the three sisters and the parents in the kitchen enjoying a nice breakfast.

"Oh, you finally decided to join us." Sonny said as she saw the older girl enter the room. "That's why I saved you a plate."

Alex walked up to Sonny and took the plate out of the girl's hands. "You're the best." She placed a kiss on the girl's cheek before she went to sit at the dining table.

"Did you sleep well, Alex?" Connie asked.

"Is that even question, Mom?" Sonny said and pointed at her girlfriend. "This girl could sleep through the apocalypse."

"So to answer your question, Mrs. Torres, I slept just fine." Alex replied.

"That's good to hear, sweetie. But don't call me Mrs. Torres, it's too formal and since we know each other well enough, you get to call me Connie." Connie said.

"Alright Connie." The wizard said as she dug her fork into the food on the plate. She put the food in her mouth and began to chew. Before she swallowed the food she spoke. "This is the best scrambled eggs I ever tasted."

"Where are your manners?" Sonny said as she finally sat down at the dining table.

Alex swallowed her food, "Probably back at the barn where I was raised." Sonny flicked her ear. "Ow!" The wizard put her hand on her ear.

Connie started laughing, "I like her, she's a keeper."

"Do you know when Justin is coming back?" Mitchie asked.

"Nope, he didn't say anything but I'm pretty he'll call you when he's going to visit again." Alex answered.

"So tell me about this boy?" Mr. Torres asked.

"Daaad." Mitchie whined.

"What? I want to know about him."

"Why aren't you asking this to Sonny about Alex?"

"Because I can actually talk to Alex whenever since she lives here, Justin doesn't."

Mitchie sighed in frustration. "He's a good guy. He's a nerdy, straight-A, class president kind of guy, which is not usually my type but something about him just pulls me in and I like it." She continued eating her breakfast as her dad nodded his head.

"Do you think that you're falling in love with him?" Dallas asked. Her younger sister nodded her head. "That's good. He does seem a whole lot better for you than Shane."

"Whose Shane?" The father asked.

"This guy who cheated on Mitchie about a year back before either of them became famous." The eldest of the sisters answered.

Mr. Torres nodded his head once again as he turned his attention towards Alex. "What can you tell me about yourself?"

"Dad, can this wait?" It was Sonny's turn to whine.

"It could but I don't feel like it." The father answered his daughter while he turned his attention back to said daughter's girlfriend. "So, Alex?"

Alex put her fork down on the plate and looked at the father. "I don't think what I'm gonna tell you is gonna help me in the slightest but I'll tell you anyway." She took a deep breath. "I'm the total opposite of my brother. School was never my thing, skipping class became a habit for me. You could always find me in the principal's office or detention. I pulled a lot pranks around the school and on my brothers. I was the epitome of a slacker."

Alex could see the wheels turning in the man's head. But the next that happened was totally unexpected, he smiled, which had thrown the young wizard into a state of confusion. Even the three sisters were confused by this action.

Alex looked at her girlfriend, who only shrugged in response. The young wizard turned back to the father. "Sir, why are you smiling?"

"Sorry," He finally responded. "It's just that you reminded me a little bit of myself at your age."

"So you approve?" Sonny asked.

"Of course I approve."

Alex and Sonny were in the prop room on the set. They were lying on the couch. Alex was on the bottom who was holding the younger girl who lying on top of her. "You are really comfortable."

"So I have been told." Alex responded.

"I really don't want to go back to work." Sonny snuggled in a little bit more, if that was possible. "But I know I have too."

"You love your job."

"But I love being with you more." Sonny gave the wizard a light kiss on the neck.

"I know, but being with me isn't gonna help your income." Alex sat up on the couch which caused the other girl to sit up but still sitting on the wizard's lap. "And you're meant to be here. This is what you are destined to do."

"You've changed my destiny."

"I don't believe I did." Alex laid back down on the couch and pulled the girl down with her.

"But the whole-"

"I think this would've happened either way, just the other way would've taken much longer." The wizard looked at a nearby clock. "It looks like your break is up and it's time for you to go back to work." Sonny began to whine. "Nope, no whining, missy. Up." The wizard gave a light tap on the girl's butt which caused Sonny to give the older girl a glare. The older girl only smiled in response.

Sonny got up from the girl and smooth out her clothes. Alex did the same. "Walk me to the set?" She held out her hand.

Alex accepts the open hand into her own. "Of course."

As they began walking, Sonny laid her head on her girlfriend's shoulder. "Thank you for giving me and Mitchie this opportunity."

The wizard kissed the top of the younger girl's head. "It was my pleasure."

THE END….FINALLY.
