Stef- a few months later

Lena was standing at the edge of the ocean letting the water come to her feet as she watched me and the kids dive through wave after wave. I called too the kids that i'm swimming in. I swam in and went up too Lena.

"Getting in?" i asked.

"No the waters cold" she said and i smiled evilly.

"Don't you dare" she said but i splashed her before she could jump back.

"Stef" she screamed annoyed play slapping me. I went to splash her again and she moved back.

"Stop it you're getting me wet" she said laughing.

"My speciality" i said as Mariana came out from the ocean.

"Eww moms could you not." she said disgusted.

"What?" i asked innocently.

"Seriously mom" she complained.

"What i happen to splash your mom a lot." I said and she rolled her eyes.

"Why what were you thinking?" I asked and she groaned walking up too our chairs.

"Stef, you're evil" she said and i laughed.

"What i have to pick on her when i get the chance. Captain is working me too death" i complained and she laughed.

"Yeah why is that? You have like a twelve hour shift every day" she said and i shrugged.

"We are low on people, i guess. Too be honest she's trying to prove to the public that giving me my job back wasn't a mistake." i said and she sighed.

"Thats still going on?" she asked.

"Yeah but slowly people are starting to give up. Captains trying to show the public that i'm a good law-following cop that our community needs. Somehow it means more work for me" i said and she laughed.

"Well if saving a toddler from being killed by her psychotic uncle isn't enough to prove it than i don't know what is" she said and i smiled.

"I see you read the newspaper this morning" i said and she glared at me.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked.

"You were asleep when i got home" i said and she shook her head.

"I always want you to wake me when you get home so i know you're safe and if you did something awesome like that go ahead and brag about it." she said.

"Alright i will" i said.

Lena

Once we got home me and Stef jumped into the shower together. Ever since the day I got into the shower with her too show her that she's safe with me our sex life has been great. We are connecting even more now than ever before. I was right if i changed anything it made us love each other more.

I kissed her pulling her closer to me. She giggled and i laughed with her. I made sure my hands didn't go too her neck, it's the only thing that hasn't changed yet and i don't think it will. She's still afraid of her neck being touched, which is understandable. I have forgotten a few times but try to remember not to touch her neck.

"You are so beautiful" she said and i smiled at her.

"Not as beautiful as you" i argued and she laughed.

Stef

Silencer took a sip of the beer and then pointed to a woman across the bar.

"Real or fake?" she asked and i laughed.

"You're terrible"

"No i'm not it's a game i happen to have a lot of skill in." she denied and i rolled my eyes.

"Fake" i said and she laughed.

"Oh no those are all natural double Ds should i send your wife a pic and ask for her confirmation" she laughed and i rolled my eyes.

"What you can't honestly tell me you think she won't be amazing at this game. Think about it she's a lesbian and she's only ever been with girls. I'm sure she's had a lot of experience with boobs" she said and i just glared at her.

"What it's true i want to know her secret too this game" she said i laughed.

"She's never even played"

"Yeah but still she's the expert. One day you two will have to go against each other" she said and i glared at her.

"Stop it. Did Tiger call you yesterday?" i asked.

"Oh yeah she got herself a real hottie" she said. "Be proud i didn't ask her what bra size she is"

"You have an obsession."

"Thats what Eric says. He claims he's never seen a straight girl like boobs so much" she said. Eric is her boyfriend who i'm sure is starting to question her sexuality. Silencer is actually straight she just has a weird obsession and for some reason thinks 'real or fake/ what cup size is she' is a real sport that should be taken very seriously.

"Where you not breast fed as a baby?" i asked and she laughed.

"No if you're not breast fed you always need something in your mouth" she said seriously. She's recently went back to college and like she said she would is majoring in psychology.

"Oh sorry" i said and she rolled her eyes.

"Did Tiger ask you the million dollar question again?" she asked and i sighed.

"Yes she keeps going on about it. What are you really guilty of? I don't know" i said and she laughed.

"Maybe she knows what you did last summer" she joked and i laughed.

"No it can't be that we destroyed all the evidence" i said and she shook her head.

"You're hilarious. Who knows what she's up to" she said and i nodded.

Lena

I can tell that deep down part of Stef still feels guilty about Alisha. I don't understand why, it's Alisha.

"Did you ever figure it out?" I asked.

"Figure what out?"
"What you're really guilty of" i said and she groaned.

"You to?" she asked annoyed.

"You still feel guilty about it, don't you?" i asked and she sighed.

"I beat her up and watched as she was on the verge of death and part of me enjoyed it,Lena. Can you honestly tell me you want that type of person around your kids?" she said.

"You're not that type of person, Stef. You were in shock, ok. Medically diagnosed and everything. Everything everyone that testified for you said is true. So why are you having such a hard time believing it?" i said and she shook her head.

"I see it all the time, Lena. Good husband and fathers or wifes and mother's randomly snap and kill their families…. I'm sure they didn't think it would happen to them" she said and I sighed in surrender.

"Alright than have you thought about hurting me and the kids?" i asked and she looked shocked i asked her that.

"What of course not, I wouldn't…" she said and i gave her that look like 'exactly'.

"What are you really guilty of?" I asked and she shook my head.

"I don't know"

"Than you can't be too guilty" i said. "Personally Stef I think you're pulling a typical Stef move"
"What does that mean?" she asked looking at me confused.

"Do you remember when i told you you are hard on the people you love because you think that you should have been able to protect them from themselves. The only person you are harder on is yourself and i think thats what you're doing. You hold yourself too impossible expectations" i said and she sighed.

"You have to stop doing that. Alisha was going to kill you that night. You did what you had too do, not just for yourself but for me and the kids. Because we need you. I meant what i said that day of your trial, you do what you have too too protect your family but you're not a violent person." i said and she glared at me.

"Every day you go to work and you save people. You keep people safe and arrest people who have done terrible things. You're not a bad person, Stef. You just expect the impossible from yourself." i said and she kissed me.

"Besides everything happens for a reason" i said and she laughed.

"What was the reason for that than?"
"It brought us closer, don't you think?" i said and she smiled.
"I love you, what do you think about some hot chocolate and a crappy movie?" she asked and i laughed.

"That sounds great" i said following her downstairs where we cuddled on the couch sipping hot chocolate and making fun of the terrible acting. If anything changed i love her more.

Thats was the worst ending ever and i'm sorry. If you are the readers who also write you probably know what it's like to write a story and then get to the end and you're brain can't come up with anything but crap. Always happens to me. Anyways sorry for the wait it took a while too even come up with this ending. I hope you liked the story, even though this ending doesn't do it justice.
