Aww, can someone say sappy? But isn't that how epilogues are supposed to be?

A couple weeks after their ordeal, Shawn signed the papers that made Riley his, and vice versa. During those weeks Riley would wake up screaming from a nightmare about her parents dieing, but those became more infrequent as the gaping hole was filled slightly by Shawn.

Shawn had some difficulty with finding the balance between his old fun life and fatherhood, until he realized fatherhood could be fun. Pretty soon Riley was included in most of Shawn and Gus's crazy games (age permitting of course) and Shawn had the few nights a month Riley would stay at someone else's house while Shawn went out for a night of fun and drinking and girls.

Riley soon grew on everyone. Gus thought of her more as a level headed friend than his friend's daughter. Karen welcomed her as a second daughter, and would lose her professional demeanor and go into mother mode around her quite a bit.

Henry was still Henry, but a more docile Henry. He'd yell at Riley, and point out exactly what she was doing wrong every second, but he'd crack a couple more smiles and laughs. So, not more docile really, just less…well, there are no words to describe even this new Henry.

Juliet had loved her from the first time they met, and spent any time she could with Riley. Lassiter still wasn't a kid person, but he found it easier to talk with Riley than some of the idiots at work, so she wasn't that bad. Buzz and his wife had instantly volunteered to help Shawn if he needed anything, and he'd needed help quite a bit. He wasn't a bad father, but the only good parenting he'd seen really was on TV and after trying so many things that had worked on TV, he'd lost faith in it for important things.

So, Riley ended up having the biggest and best family she could have hoped for after losing her parents.

Turns out, Riley wasn't just an alien little girl, she really was just special. Her parents had believed that it was better to raise a child quickly so they wouldn't be shocked the first day of school ect., so she'd grown up pretty quickly. Plus, she was a mini Einstein….only not so extreme. She actually was at an eight grade level, and it made it a whole lot easier to understand things with that kind of mind.

Shawn, due to Riley's smartness and reluctance to go to school (and maybe Shawn's reluctance to let her skip grades and be in a class with people waaaay older than her) he'd decided to home school her.

Since Shawn spent most of his time at Psych or the police station, so did Riley. At the police station she'd get tons of help from others, and it was way better than 7 ½ hours of teachers droning on and on.

So, Riley got a new family, and a great life. Shawn got a kid without the commitment of a wife, and still got to play. Lassiter got a semi-intelligent person to talk to. Juliet got a new little cousin to spoil. Karen got another daughter. Henry got a new person to nag. Gus got a new friend. And Buzz and his wife got a practice kid, and a damn good one at that. In the end, everyone was happy.
