ENDING -B-

(PART THREE)

"Well, I decided I would not be a... prostitute for the rest of my life, I would rather die" Jade responded "When we were on the way to the airport another van started chasing us so I thought I could use that opportunity to escape and I did, I jumped out of the car and they started shooting me but fortunately they couldn't shoot me down and they crashed, another girl died in the accident and they thought it was me so Mr. Lang didn't try to find me" she explained.

"Wow... " Andre said.

"But I still don't know what happened with you guys, how did you escape?" Jade asked curiously.

"Well, they sent me to Colombia to work as a prostitute too" Tori informed "But one of my clients was a nice guy, he contacted me with a cop and they took care of me for the month I was there, I fortunately only had one bad experience" she commented and Jade smiled genuinely happy, at least Tori's luck hadn't been so bad.

"Yes and Cat, Robbie, Andre and I stayed in Japan, fortunately Cat was working as a maid so she could call her parents and when Tori was back home, they came for us" Beck informed.

"Did they hurt you, Cat?" Jade questioned and Cat shook her head so Jade sighed relieved, she never wanted Cat to be raped because she was just too innocent and Jade knew she wouldn't have been able to handle it.

"And what were you doing in Tokyo?" Jade questioned the boys.

"Um... we, we... helped them to kidnap girls" Beck answered ashamedly. "I still feel horrible about it, at least I think most of them are back home now" he commented.

"And how did you find me?" Jade asked curiously. "I didn't think it was possible"

"It was very, VERY difficult because of the fake name and all that and because everybody refused to talk about Mr. Lang" Mr. West commented. "But then we checked the airport videos and we spotted you and well, we checked the passengers list and you were there, Sarah Higgins, it was a very long process"

"The funny thing is that we all thought you were either in Germany or Turkey but you ended up being in Ukraine, we didn't see that one coming" Andre commented.

"We all travelled to Ukraine and it was an undercover mission, we had to contact one of the men that went to the club so he would invite us and it fortunately worked, that's when we found you" Mr. Vega finished.

"Paul, right?" She asked and they nodded.

"But how did they get you to go to Ukraine? What happened after they took you from us?" Robbie asked.

"Well, I remember I woke up in a car with the Japanese woman and some other men, they were all saying things to me but I couldn't understand anything because I was too dizzy, they gave me a purse and then when I was more focused, she told me that I had to fly with a man that was with us or that she would kill you all" Jade said referring to her friends. "So I did, when we arrived in Germany they hit me and I passed out again and when I woke up I was alone tied in a room, then hours later they took me to see Mr. Lang, he called me Sarah and explained everything to me, he talked about my family and Beck and said that if I caused him problems they would all die"

"That bastard" Mr. West commented.

"I traveled to Ukraine with my supposed father, after we landed he drove me to the club and simply left me there, John, my boss said they needed my pictures for the website or something so he sent me with some weird women and they showered me, if that can be called a shower... and then forced me to put on some lingerie, they did my hair and makeup and made me take two pills, i remember feeling very dizzy and then everything was blank, i have a few memories but they're blurry, i think they were taking pictures of me but it was like i wasn't there, you know? It's still confusing, i barely remember seeing John with a camera, hearing his voice but i didn't feel or think anything, it was like being asleep..." Jade commented, she still felt guilty and wanted to justify her actions even though she hadn't been guilty for them.

"Yes, we saw those pictures" Beck commented and Jade looked down embarrassed. "Hey, don't feel bad, we understand it wasn't your fault, even if you had posed it wouldn't be your fault but you were drugged" he said nicely and she sighed.

"Now I understand why you looked so weird" Cat commented and Jade smiled at her.

"After that I met Allie and we immediately became friends, she tried to convince me to be nice but I didn't want to be nice, it was horrible to think that they were gonna sell me so I refused to cooperate and well, I... "Jade didn't want to remember her first night of work because it had been the worst of her life and they didn't need to know what had happened to her. "I, I decided it was better to cooperate after all and I did, I did..." She said, Jade's friends and parents looked at each other because they knew that she was lying, she didn't want to mention her first and worst rape.

"Jade, get it out, it's better if you get that thing that you don't want to tell us out of you, believe me" Tori commented and Jade's eyes started filling with tears.

"I don't know what you're talking about" Jade said.

"Yes, you do" Tori said.

"Are you calling me a liar?" Jade questioned slightly upset.

"Jade, what happened to make you change your mind?" Beck questioned and Jade sighed.

"Alright, well... I had my first client and I was rude because I thought that that would make him dislike me but he rented me anyway, I was really scared so I rejected him and then I made the biggest mistake of my entire life, I asked him for help" Jade said and took a deep breath "But he was one of them and then John entered the room and locked the door, he hit me and then the other man tried to kiss me so i hit him with a lamp, that made him mad so he tried to strangle me and hit me again and then they, they... and then they" Jade was trying to tell them what had happened but it was so difficult, a few tears started streaming down her face while she reunited the courage to speak. "And then they raped me, both of them..." She finally said and more tears came out of her eyes "I still can hear their voices and their laughs, I can still feel them kissing me and hitting me and I can still feel them inside me, one after the other..." Jade said disgusted with her eyes closed. "I don't want to keep talking about that, it was the worst night of my life" Jade informed and they nodded.

"Of course, darling, that was enough for now but you need to get it out" Alicia said sadly.

"And you need to be aware that it wasn't your fault, Jade, okay? You couldn't do anything to stop them" Tori's mother said and Jade nodded.

"After that he left me in the basement for three days and I just... I wanted to die, I really did, I actually tried to look for something to kill myself with but I couldn't find anything, it was too dark" Jade confessed "And so after that night I decided to cooperate, nothing they did to me would hurt as much anyway and at least the clients treated me better" she said. "I'm so sorry" she apologized to Beck and he shook his head.

"Don't be, please don't be, none of the things that happened to you were your fault and when you cooperated as you say, you were doing it to protect yourself but that is still rape, Jade, you weren't sleeping with random men for fun, you were getting raped so you don't have to feel bad or even ashamed, okay?" He affirmed.

"Do you really feel that way? You don't think i'm unworthy now? It must be hard for a man to deal with what happened to me" Jade commented.

"What are you talking about? You are just as worthy or even more than you were before that happened to you and yes, it must be hard for a man to accept that his girlfriend was a prostitute but any man that calls himself that, a man, would support and love his lady after she was abused and i'm a man, i love you Jade, i really do and i would be an idiot if i blamed you for what happened to you" Beck affirmed and she smiled with tears in her eyes.

"That's right, honey, the shame is on them, you were just a victim" Beck's mother said and she gave her a little sad smile.

"Well, that's how it was, we slept a few hours a day, then we had one meal and cleaned the whole place and then at night, we went out to work and it was the same every day until I got used to it, John always said we were there only to please the clients, he said that we would never be free because Mr. Lang owned us now, we didn't have rights, we were like objects anyone could use, that's how he and all the men made us feel, like objects and after a while i started to believe it" Jade confessed and Beck wrapped his arm around her "Sometimes when we got lucky they made us go on dates with strangers, that was better because we went to dinners and stuff so we didn't have to deal with the sex but some other times we had to transport drugs in our bodies, i knew that the packets would end up breaking and killing me but then you came" Jade explained. "I was so shocked to see you there, dad, first because I never thought anyone would find me and second because I didn't want anyone I knew to see me like that, god, you saw me, Beck saw me, Tori's dad saw me, I acted like a whore but i never wanted to do it, i just didn't want them to hurt me again and the better i behaved the better they treated me"

"You said it, it was an act, honey, we all knew what you were going through so don't think about that but tell me, what happened after the last time we saw you at the club?" Her father questioned.

"Well, that night they took me to the office because they wanted to ask me about the pregnancy, they said that I would get tested the next day and I wanted to go back to the club but Alan didn't let me, he started touching me and well, I guess you know what happened next... I didn't scream or fight him but he enjoyed hitting me anyway and he knew that I was going to die so he didn't care" Jade commented and Beck looked down angrily while holding her hand.

"That animal..." Mr. West said upset.

"Next day John yelled at me because of the videos you stole, he thought that I had stolen them so he beat me up trying to make me confess, then he called Mr. Lang and he told them about you, I don't know how he found out but the thing is John drove me to his apartment and left me there" Jade informed. "I spent most of the time in the trunk of a car and then they brought me up to see him"

"Wait so the pregnancy was fake?" Tori questioned and Jade stood up, they were disconcerted because she didn't answer the question, she simply walked out of the living room and a few seconds later she walked back in holding a baby and smiling at it and everyone's mouths dropped.

"No, it wasn't fake" Jade said as she walked toward them with her baby. "This is Gracie, my daughter" she informed and they all looked at her shocked and then at the baby, Alicia and Mr. West couldn't help but smile when they saw the little baby girl.

"Oh my god, she is just like you when you were little, she is beautiful" Alicia commented and Jade smiled at her.

"A baby, gosh, no" Her father said and Jade looked at him confused.

"Excuse me?" Jade asked.

"You can't keep her, Jade, if you see her every day you'll never forget those men, one of them is the father" Mr. West said.

"She is mine, she's only mine, she has no father" Jade affirmed, Beck was still in shock after seeing Jade alive and his shock became bigger when he saw Gracie but he culdn't help but want to hold her.

"Can I hold her?" Beck asked and it just made Jade so happy to hear that, she nodded and put the baby in his arms. "You're so cute, Gracie" He said to her with a huge smile on his face as he walked back and sat down on the couch.

"But Jade, how is it possible? Mr. Lang said they made you abort" Tori said.

"Oh and he tried, when they brought me up to see him he was on the phone talking to the person who was supposed to do the abortion but they said no, I was happy because I didn't want to lose the baby but then he said that I wouldn't be useful anymore with a bastard inside me and that they would have to use a more traditional method so he hit me in the stomach with a gun and they started kicking me" Jade informed "They kicked me and kicked me until they got tired, I was covering my belly with my hands but they did hurt me a lot, fortunately, Gracie is a strong little woman, right? Yes, you are!" Jade said and smiled at her baby who smiled back at her with her little mouth and it melted Beck's heart, he was in love with Gracie.

"And where have you been all these months? What happened with you?" Andre questioned curiously.

"Kevin, Lucia, come in!" Jade shouted and the couple with the baby walked into the living room.

"Do you remember Kevin?" Jade asked her father and Mr. Vega.

"Yes, of course, he is the man who invited you dinner that time you fainted right?" Mr. West asked and Jade nodded.

"And not just that, he and his wife have been a family to me for the past eight months" Jade added. "He found me after I jumped out of the van and I was about to lose Gracie but he drove me to the hospital and has helped me since then, he and Lucia welcomed me in their house and took care of me during the pregnancy and after Gracie was born" she informed and smiled at them.

"Thank you, thank you so much" Alicia said sincerely.

"Yes, thank you for taking care of Jade, please let me reward you, I'll give you anything you want" Mr. West affirmed.

"No, please, we just did what was right, she had already gone through a lot and we decided to help her out" Kevin responded.

"Yes, besides it was nice having her and Gracie in the house" Lucia added and Jade smiled at them.

"Thank you, really but I mean it, I don't think I'll ever be able to pay you for what you did but I really want to reward you" Mr. West insisted, meanwhile in the back Beck and the rest of the gang were freaking out over Gracie and Jade was just so glad to see them so happy with the baby, especially Beck, he didn't stop smiling at her and playing with her.

"She is adorable!" Cat exclaimed as she made silly faces to make the baby smile.

"I've told you many times that we really don't want anything" Kevin repeated.

"Fine, fine but whatever you need don't forget to call me, I'll always be here to help you if you need it just like you helped Jade" Mr. West affirmed and they nodded.

"Thank you" Kevin said nicely and then Gracie started crying.

"We didn't do anything to her" Cat immediately said and Jade chuckled.

"I know, I know..." Jade said and grabbed Gracie from Beck's arms. "Come with mommy" Jade said sweetly, it was so weird for them to see Jade being so sweet and maternal, they never thought Jade would be such a loving mother. "I think she is hungry, sh, sh...it's okay, honey, you're going to eat now" she commented as she walked out of the room with her baby.

"I can't believe my daughter is a mom now, she is only nineteen, she is basically a kid with another kid" Alicia commented.

"And what do you plan to do about that?" Lucia questioned. "Jade is a very good mother, she freaks out when something unusual happens but that's normal, it's her first kid and she wasn't prepared but she is learning and she adores Gracie" she informed and Alicia smiled.

"It's so weird to see her like that, Jade's always been...creepy, like we never imagined she would be so sweet to a baby" Robbie commented.

"Well, yeah but that's her baby, it's different" Tori responded.

"Yes, and why do you say she is creepy? She's been really polite and nice all these months" Kevin commented.

"It's not that she was creepy, she was just a little special, you know? like dark and kinda mean sometimes" Andre explained.

"I guess what happened to her changed her a lot, during all these months we've only seen her nice side, well, sort of, she used to cry a lot and wake up screaming in the middle of the night, she spent hours simply thinking with a sad look in her eyes, sometimes she didn't even want to eat, she was really depressed all the time, we were worried that she would not recover from the hell she lived but after a few weeks, when she started feeling her baby inside her, she started talking and singing to her and it was like life had been brought back into her body, she started smiling and began stroking her belly with love, she was always anxious and excited when we went to see the doctor and he showed her the baby on the screen, more days went by and she didn't cry as much anymore and then one day she simply stopped crying, having nightmares and looking sad all the time, it was a very nice process seeing how her tears became laughs when she talked with Gracie and sang to her and then when she gave birth and finally had her in her arms, it was just...it was such a beautiful thing to see, she couldn't believe that she had a baby, that kid brought the happiness back to her life" Lucia commented and everyone was smiling moved by her words.

"She sings to Gracie?" Tori asked moved and Lucia nodded. "Awww"

"Yes, she does it all the time and Gracie loves it, even before she was born she always kicked when Jade sang to her" Lucia commented and they all smiled.

"I'm glad she doesn't have hatred toward the baby and that she is a good mother but I don't want her to stop living her life or leave school, she has her entire life ahead of her" Alicia said.

"So what? If you want to make her give up on her baby I can assure you she won't do it" Lucia affirmed.

"What? No, of course not, I would never do such a thing, all I'm saying is that Jade will go back to school and I'll personally take care of Gracie while she is not here, having a baby should not be an impediment for her to enjoy her youth" Alicia explained and Lucia smiled.

"Yes, I agree" Beck added and then Jade walked back into the living room.

"Gracie fell asleep, I left her on my bed" Jade informed as she rejoined them. "Everything is just as i remember it"

"What are you gonna do now, Jade?" Tori asked curiously and Jade thought about it.

"I don't know, I guess I'll take care of my baby and find a job" Jade answered.

"No, of course not" Her father affirmed. "You will go back to school, that's what you will do"

"I need to take care of Gracie, i'm her mother and i'm all she has" Jade said.

"She will stay in this house with you but you'll continue studying, Jade, you're not going to waste your life like that, especially because this wasn't your fault" Mr. West commented. "You know you don't need to worry about the money, you don't need to work and Gracie will have everything, she doesn't only have you, she has your mom, your friends, your boyfriend and she has me, i know that i have never supported you but i will now"

"Thank you but dad, you have to work and I can't leave her here with some stranger while I go to school, I don't trust people" Jade said. She really wanted to go back to school but now she had a baby to take care of and she didn't trust nannies.

"Your mother is not a stranger" Alicia exclaimed and Jade looked at her confused.

"What? You're gonna take care of my daughter? But mom, you live in San Diego" Jade said and Alicia and Mr. West smiled at each other "Or not?"

"No, your father and I are together again, he got divorced and we decided to give our relationship a chance so I live here now and I'll personally take care of my granddaughter while you do what you were born to do, perform" Alicia informed and Jade smiled.

"Are you serious?" Jade asked happily.

"Absolutely!"

"Um Jade, I don't know if you have considered this but I thought that maybe I could register your daughter as mine too" Beck suggested and Jade's eyes wide opened.

"No, Beck, I would never ask you to do something like that, Gracie is my daughter, not yours, it's not your responsibility" Jade said.

"Jade, you don't know how much I suffered during the time you were gone, I just... I realized that no matter what happens, I'll always love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you like we always planned and as soon as I looked into Gracie's eyes I loved her, I want to be a father to her" Beck affirmed "You can't say no to that, I mean it, I really do... she is adorable, she has your eyes and your nose, she is beautiful and I want us to be a family"

"Beck, do you realize what you're asking me? It's a huge responsibility, even for me but I'm her mother, you unfortunately are not her father and we are too young to be a family" Jade said "I can't make you do that"

"You're not making me, I want to do it, I really do, please, Jade just think about it, we'll both graduate from Hollywood Arts and do what we've always wanted to do, we'll both succeed, I'm sure and Gracie will be a loved kid, we'll be a beautiful family" Beck insisted, he really wanted to adopt Gracie and be a father to her, he had no idea what being a father was about but he wanted to discover it with Gracie, he felt he was ready, besides he had always planned on becoming a father some day and he wanted Jade to be the mother of his children anyway.

Jade just couldn't believe what Beck was proposing her, she loved him and knew that he loved her but legally recognizing her daughter was a big deal, she was happy that he was willing to take that step with her but she just didn't know if it was okay for her to accept it. "Beck, are you sure you want that, honey?" Beck's mother asked.

"Yes, I'm sure, Jade is the love of my life and I want to be Gracie's dad, she doesn't need to know who her biological father is" Beck affirmed seriously.

"I don't even know that myself, Beck" Jade added.

"That doesn't matter, so? What do you say?" He asked and Jade kept thinking about it but finally nodded. "Yes, thank you" he said and kissed Jade's lips sweetly for the first time in over a year. He couldn't believe that about an hour earlier he felt like the most miserable and unhappy person on the planet and at that moment he felt like the luckiest guy in the world.

"Gracie Oliver, sounds good, doesn't it?" He commented and Jade smiled at him but then Gracie started crying again and Jade exhaled because she knew she had to go upstairs again. "If you excuse me, I'll go see my daughter"Beck informed and ran upstairs, Jade was so happy that she couldn't believe it was real, she was free, she was back in home, she had her baby and Beck was being more supportive than she ever thought he would be.

As Beck had promised, he and Jade registered Gracie as their daughter and Jade went back to school, it took her a few weeks to get used to it again but after a while she did and she started recovering her life, in other circumstances Jade would have probably been bitter about going back to school and all that but having Gracie really did change Jade, she couldn't just worry about herself anymore, she had a little person to take care of, a little person that made her want to live and be happy again, a little person that lightened up her world which had been dark for a long time and the best part is that she wasn't alone, she had Beck, her friends and her family by her side.

Jade, Beck, Andre, Cat, Tori and Robbie had gone through a horrible and deathly experience but they all managed to make it back and recover their lives, that experience even made them better friends, especially Jade and Tori because they were the only ones who understood the horror of being sold with sexual purposes, the rest of the gang could try to get in their shoes but only they could understand each other's feelings and that made them closer than they had ever been before.

Things made sense to everyone again, Jade's family was whole and her parents were just crazy over their little granddaughter, they loved taking care of her while Jade was busy and they had bought lots of presents for her, Gracie became the princess of the house and nobody even thought about the fact she was the product of Jade's suffering. Kevin and Lucia went back to Ukraine but they visited the West every time they could and spent Christmas with them which was wonderful because Jade had learned to see them as part of her family and she really appreciated them.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Beck questioned while holding Gracie, who was now a year and three months old. "It'll be too hard, that's all in the past" He said as Gracie played with her keys shaped toy.

"I agree, honey, let's go home" Alicia insisted. "Gracie is tired" she said trying to convince Jade to leave, Gracie was a beautiful little girl, she had light brown hair, pale skin and blue eyes just like her mommy.

"No, she is fine, she is having fun" Jade commented and smiled as she saw her baby girl playing with Beck.

"Yes, she is" Beck said as Gracie slapped him with her little hands and put them in his mouth.

"Don't slap, daddy, sweetheart" Jade said but the baby just giggled and continued doing it.

"Oh it's fine, she enjoys hurting daddy but i'll get my revenge!" Beck exclaimed and raised her up above his face to blow-kiss her belly so the baby started laughing and Jade smiled happily at them before turning to her mother again.

"My therapist said that i need to comfront all the things that hurt me and be aware that they happened to be able to move on with my life completely because i need to understand they are not in power of me anymore" Jade explained. "I'll be fine, they're handcuffed and you'll be here watching"

"Okay, Jade, it's your decision" Her father said and she nodded before entering an interviewing room where John and Alan were. Jade still remembered everything like it had been yesterday but she could now think about it and talk about it without crying or feeling ashamed and she'd overcome her fear toward those two men so she simply walked into the room and sat down in front of them.

"Hi Sarah, it's a pleasure to see you again" Alan commented.

"Jade, my name is Jade, don't forget it" Jade clarified coldly.

"Why are you here?" John questioned and Jade smirked at them.

"Well, i was driving by and i thought why not?" She responded. "I really wanted to see how you guys were, i've heard you two are are having so much fun in prison"

"Not quite as much as you had in the club" John responded and Jade glared at him coldly.

"I doubt it, you must be really busy because in your case you are the only two whores in the place" Jade commented and laughed a little and they looked at each other upset, they only wanted to strangle her. "I bet you are dying to beat me up like you did in the past right?" she asked smirking "Why are you so mad, boys? Remember what you always said to us? You're nothing, you're a thing anyone can use whenever they want and however they want, you're here only to please the clients or in your case, the prisoners, come on, you cannot have forgotten those words, you repeated them so many times to me that i don't think i'll ever forget them"

"What the hell do you want?" Alan questioned angrily.

"This, i want to see you suffer, that's what i want" Jade answered and smiled at him.

"Remember the little party we had? Remember how much you screamed and kicked but couldn't escape?" Alan questioned and they both laughed, Jade was so full of rage toward them that she only wanted to kill them but she knew she had to control herself and manage the situation. "You ended up giving in because you secretly liked it, you enjoyed so much that night, didn't you?"

"No, not really, you both SUCK in bed, such a shame considering that was my first night, i was expecting something better" Jade responded "That's why you rape women, right? You rape them because in other circumstances they would never have sex with you, you're both pathetic" she affirmed and their smiles dropped, Beck and her parents were surprised because how of how well Jade was handling the situation, she was really in control.

"Oh really? If we are so bad in bed then why were you screaming like an injured animal?" Alan questioned.

"Try getting beaten up by two beasts who are physically stronger than you, oh wait you already have, haven't you? It's not nice, is it?" Jade asked.

"By the way, Sarah, what happened with your pregnancy? I heard that Mr. Lang made you spit out that thing" John questioned and Jade laughed.

"Nope, you got the information wrong, my Gracie is alive, happy and healthy as can be" Jade informed gladly.

"Really? and tell me, who's the father? Me?" John asked.

"Or perhaps me" Alan said.

"Or one of all the other men you slept with" John added.

"No, Beck is her father" Jade answered.

"Beck is one of your many clients? Whore" Alan asked and they both laughed.

"No, Beck is my boyfriend and Gracie's dad" Jade explained.

"So you made your boyfriend adopt your little bastard, clever" John commented.

"No, i didn't make him, he loves her and he is the best father Gracie could possibly have" Jade affirmed and Beck smiled before kissing Gracie's cheek, he really did love Gracie so much, she was adorable and he enjoyed every second he spent with her, he felt her as his child.

"I just came to tell you that I'm here, i'm fine, all my friends are fine, my family is together, my baby is alive and well, my boyfriend loves us and guess what? What you did to me is burried in the past, so i'll walk out that door, kiss my little girl's face and go back to my wonderful life while you two rot in a cell for the rest of your miserable lives" Jade affirmed and stood up. "By the way, my dad made some calls and if you think that being the whores of the place is going to be over soon, you're wrong, it'll be that way until the day you die, please don't forget to think about me every time another prisoner rents you"Jade said smirking and they stared at her angrily."Goodbye!" She exited the room proudly but her smile dropped as soon as she walked out of the room and she took a deep breath.

"You were amazing" Beck commented.

"Really? There was a moment when i thought i would break out crying but no, they cannot make me cry anymore" Jade affirmed and then she looked at Gracie who was smiling at her so she smiled back and stroked her cheek, Jade started clapping a little while smiling at her baby and Gracie opened her arms as she leaned towards her mom so Jade opened hers as well.

"You wanna go with mommy? Okay, there you go" Beck said as he gave Gracie to Jade, who immediately kissed her baby's cheek and hugged her, it felt so nice to have her baby there, Gracie made her feel like the strongest woman on the planet, she made her want to be the very best she could be; Jade adored her girl more than anything in the world, she loved her more than her own life and wanted the world for her, she was willing to do anything for her daughter anytime, anywhere, she felt ready to face the world and do whatever was needed to protect Gracie and give her the best of everything.

"I'm so proud of you" Mr. West said sincerely and smiled at Jade and then at Gracie.

"Those two are never going to forget you" Alicia affirmed proudly as she saw John and Alan looking down worriedly inside the room.

Jade and Beck continued going to school every day and working hard to be the best artists they could be, they still went out and had fun, things were obviously different but for the better, they didn't see Gracie as an impediment for them to enjoy their lives but as a gift that made them better, Gracie lightened up every room, every moment, everything and they were glad they had her, they would have preferred to have her in a different time, under better circumstances but Jade didn't regret having her and Beck was glad Gracie had been born too, everything was just wonderful for them at that point in their lives and hopefully things would continue to be that way.

The most important lesson that the nightmare the gang had lived taught them was that no matter what happened, they could always overcome the problems, the pain and the fear and get something good out of it, they also learned not to blindly trust anyone, especially the people who promised the world to them, they knew that not all golden opportunities were what they seemed and many times, the sparkle hid nothing but pain and desperation, remember all that glitters is not gold...
