Epilogue

Six weeks later,

Ben had taken his father's place as the American Dragon so his father could join the Dragon Council (but can still live at home to help with the twins).

Rose's arm healed nicely after six weeks of being pampered by her husband and children. Of course, being pregnant again helped.

Since school was going to start the next week, Jake and Ben were at Rockaway Beach just walking along the sand.

Suddenly, something popped its head out from the waves and waved at them. Ben and Jake waved back.

"Hey Dad?" Ben asked

"Yes?" Jake asked

"Six weeks ago, one of the mermaids…you seemed to know her"

"I know two of them well" Jake explained. "Silver was the one who called me, but she wasn't there. I met her the night before your mother found out about my dragon heritage. The Huntsclan had captured some magical creatures for the Equinox hunt and Silver was one of them"

"How come she wasn't there?" Ben asked

"She…has aquaphobia"

Ben froze

"She's a mermaid who's scared of water?" Ben asked

"I also met a leprechaun with no luck, a brownie with an attitude problem, and a giant who's feet REEKED" Jake added with a smirk. "But as for your question, you're probably talking about Detective Dolsetto. She was undercover at the middle school when I was there looking for the Kelpie which had escaped"

"Really?"

"Yeah. She was the principal. When she went back, she was replaced by Rotwood"

"You mean there was a dragon, a dragon slayer, and a mermaid at the school and Rotwood didn't know it?"

"There was also a wizard and for a while, two oracles"

"Man he was dumb" Ben muttered

"It wasn't easy being taught by him" Jake confirmed. "But your Mom's taking care of that"

"What about when the twins are born?"

"I'll take back over" Jake said. "You, Julie, Karen, and your Aunt Haley can handle things in the magical world for a few months"

The two continued their walk enjoying the peace and quiet. As they walked, Jake placed a hand on Ben's shoulder and the two shared a smile

"Thanks Dad" Ben said

"For what?" Jake asked

"For being there when I need you. For coming to help when my guard is down. Now I know why you've been so paranoid."

"It's all part of being a Dad" Jake said

All was well

The End

A/N: FINALLY! This is as far as this story goes so don't even ask for a sequel. I'm still working on 'Running Away' but the storyline for that is still a bit rough.

Now, if you want to adopt this and do a sequel, just P.M. me and ask for permission (and an idea of the plot you have in mind).

Anyways, thanks for reading this and I hope you enjoy this and I hope you will also enjoy 'Running Away' (once I finish it)
