Epilogue

(JMPOV)

Ever since getting his memories back and realizing what had been stolen from them, Jason felt a new…determination. Even though Spinelli swore that nothing like this could happen again, he refused to take chances.

As soon as Spinelli said, 'Then so shall it be' and disappeared, Jason grabbed Elizabeth and took her to the first tattoo shop he could find. He may have been a little manic, but he wasn't going to take chances with his wife or their life.

"Welcome to Raptor Tattoo, my name is Clint, how can I help you?"

"My wife and I want to get wedding band tattoos. Nothing too fancy, but mine needs to have her name and hers needs to have mine." Jason replied but looked a little nervous, when he suddenly stopped talking.

"Yes?"

"Elizabeth, why don't you look at some of their creations, while I speak to Clint?"

With a raised eyebrow, he received an 'I know you are up to something' look, but she walked away.

When Clint raised the same eyebrow as Elizabeth, Jason realized he was being silly, but also unable to stop himself. "I want to get…" He had to stop to clear his throat and wipe his eyes; this was harder that he thought it would be. "I want to get one other tattoo, over my heart, Baby Boy Morgan – Gone but never forgotten."

"Oh Jason, that's…I'm without words." Elizabeth said as she had moved closer, unintentionally overhearing.

"It is the right thing to do."

"You are an amazing man."

"So you keep telling me."

Robin's punishment didn't really work for Elizabeth, but she supposed it was fitting in one way. She had messed with their life, not giving any thought to how it would affect them.

For the first few weeks, Robin was forced to watch – by her own obsession - as Jason and Elizabeth rediscovered each other and the time they had lost.

Her stalker like behavior escalated enough that they were finally forced to get a restraining order against her, sadly for the less than sane, it just intensifies the situation and she tried to stab Liz and when Jason stopped her, she lost her ever loving mind.

Insanity and the inability to hurt anyone ever again would have to be enough.

It was on New Year's Eve that Jason and Elizabeth came out to their friends and their friends came out to them.

It still made Jason laugh, when they all started declaring the truth about relationships and everything else.

As he thought of the moments leading up to the New Year, Jason began to remember the conversation.

"Why didn't you ever tell anyone?" Johnny and Francis asked at the same time.

"Why didn't you?" Elizabeth countered.

"You could have said something." Aviva replied.

"You could have too." Jason said.

"So let me see if I have this right. Francis and Aviva are married and expecting, Johnny and Teague have been bumping uglies and are engaged, did I miss anything?"

"Sam and Carly have officially joined psycho's are us. Sam had plastic surgery so she could look more like Liz, except no one could look like her and it turned out bad. They are still boinking each other, except now, Sam won't answer to anything but Liz and Carly demands she's 'Jason'…Man, you make the ladies all kinds of crazy."

"Is there anything else that might make my dick run for the hills, or are we done with that shit?"

"Yeah you bastard, why didn't you tell us you and Liz were married?" Francis asked, hurt to have not been told but also understanding the need for secrets sometimes.

They had thought about telling the truth, but with everything that had gone on and with Spinelli living with them but only kind of there, part spectra part lively…They finally agreed to a 'tale' that should appease their friends.

"We didn't want everyone knowing our business. Besides, it adds a nice spice to our lives…"

"We're all bloody nuts!" Johnny stated empathically before taking his fifth Tequila shot of the night.

"What a fabulous nut house though."

"No more lies, agreed?" Aviva asked.

"Umm…Elizabeth is pregnant!" Jason decided to share.

"You dog! Aviva and Elizabeth get to go through the mood swings and cravings and…We are lucky men." Francis said, looking a little frightened of his wife.

"That's right Francis, you will love me and my cravings and mood swings."

"Yes dear."

"So, no more secrets, right?" Aviva asked again.

"Hell no, if it keeps our lives this interesting, I say, why share?"

There was laughter all around, everyone agreed.

"Until next year my friends, I hope you all have a Happy New Year and many happy moments throughout the coming year."

A chorus of 'Happy New Year' was heard through the room.

Next year, indeed…

Life had been a whirlwind. The last two years had mostly high points, with a few low.

Their baby arrived healthy and beautiful, a mini clone of his father. While his birth was a high point, the remembrance of the baby they had lost, practically before it began, left a deep wound in their hearts.

"Jason, do you ever think we made the wrong choice?"

"No, I think what happened, for some strange reason, was meant to happen. It doesn't make me happy that it did or needed to but, we are in a good place. Our marriage is strong; our child is healthy and happy. Our friends fulfill our life. We had friends in Italy, but the bonds we made here; they seem stronger, like they'll last a life time."

"What of our kind of ghost/angel house mate? Do you think he'll grow tired of being on the inside but never finding what we have? To always be on the outside, even when he's on the inside, that can't be easy, it breaks my heart."

"I don't think he looks at it like that. He has lost some things but he does have us and look how well Jake took to him. Maybe being a big brother type will be fulfilling enough for him. I don't know what the future holds but you have to admit, with another baby on the way, having a ghostly nanny around, makes things easier."

"You are right about that."

"I love you Jason. Just promise me, we will always look for a way to help Spinelli, find a way for him to find happiness that doesn't revolve around us, okay?"

"You don't even have to ask. He was a good friend while he lived and since coming back in to my life, as crazy as it sounds; he fits more in to brother now. Let's live for today and worry about tomorrow when it comes."

"When did you get so smart, husband of mine?"

"I blame my wife!"
