As I said I would, I am writing this little epilogue

Epilogue: Knockin' on Heaven's Door

She sighed into the chair and looked into the field where her grandchildren began to play. She smiled at the children and looked into the blue sky.

It was hard to think about everything her past brought, and it took a long time to get away from that world, even with Dimitri's help.

Mama take this badge from me, I can't use it anymore.

"Mama, how you feeling?" Roses daughter, Lissa, smiled down at her in her rocking chair.

"I'm doing fine." Lissa's smile faltered, but she held her mothers hand in her own and gave her a soft smile.

"I love you mama, and so does Christian, even though you bicker non-stop. I know you miss Papa. You know, I've offered for you to live with us plenty of times…"

Rose held her daughters hand with both of her own, looking at her daughter with sad eyes. "I won't disturb you any more than I already do. Dimitri would get pissed if he knew I was in the way of your family."

"Mama, you know that's not true."

Rose just heaved a laugh.

It's getting dark, too dark to see, feels like I'm knockin' on heavens door.

Knock knock knocking on heaven's door.

"Darling, can you help get up the stairs?"

"Of course, Mama. You want to take a nap?"

"Yes, that's right."

Lissa sighed and helped her mother up, telling her children to behave while she helped their grandmother up the stairs. They all yelled back saying they would.

The countryside wasn't Rose's idea at first. Dimitri was the one to convince her they needed their own space. Maybe it was rose's hard-headedness at the time, but it took years before Dimtri got her to even consider moving out here.

She doesn't regret giving in though. He had been right, they needed to get away from the city, especially since she was still in danger at the time. She loved it here, and was happy to raise her daughter and son, Mason, in this area.

"Lissa darling, when is Mason coming over?"

"He should be here any minute." Rose nodded.

Mama put my guns in the ground, I can't use them anymore.

That cold black cloud is comin down. Feels like I'm knockin on heavens door.

Rose layed in bed for a while. Praying to whoever was listening that her grandchildren would have happy lives.

She heard a knock on the door and Mason walked in.

"Hey Mama."

"Hi, my beautiful boy." She saw tears in his eyes. "What's the matter?"

"Mama, are you going to die?" Rose sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Well, I'm not going to live forever, now am I?"

"But, Mama, my daughter hasn't even been born yet." Rose laughs.

"Now, who's fault is that?"

Mason laughs as tears drip down his face. "That's not funny, Mama."

"You take everything to seriously!"

Mason sets his head on his mothers chest. Sobs seemed to take over his body. "Mama, I'm not ready for you to go."

"I'm surprised I lasted this long."

"No, Papa wouldn't have let you die before he did."

"He was a stubborn one, wasn't he?"

Mason only nodded. Rose stroked his hair and said, "Call in your sister."

Mason nodded and stood for a seck and wiped his face off. He stepped outside and called for his sister.

Lissa came in and she had tears in her eyes as well. "What's with my kids and crying? You're all ruining my reputation as a hard ass mother."

They both laughed and choked on their sobs. Rose opens up her frail arms. "Come here."

They cry and hug her and Rose just lies there, a peaceful look on her face.

YOU JUST BETTER START SNIFFIN' YOUR OWN

YOU AGAINST YOUR TATTERED LIBIDO, THE BANK
AND THE MORTICIAN, FOREVER MAN AND IT
WOULDN'T BE LUCK IF YOU COULD GET OUT OF
LIFE ALIVE

Rose's arms went limp around her children and then stepped away from her. They both wiped away their tears and kissed their mother on her forehead. She was in a better place right now; with the man she loves. They couldn't ask for anything more.
