OHMYGODTHEHOBBITISAMAZING! Sorry, had to get that out of the way :). So. Here we are. The end. Holy crap!

Anywhatsit, I'll save the epically long AN for after you've read the chapter. So, off you go!

Disclaimer: Don't own 'em

Jack was there when I woke up. She stayed with me for those next few weeks. Held me through my pain, my anger and my tears. And through those weeks, I got strong. I healed. I started eating. I took my engagement ring off. Small battles were slowly but surely won.

After a month, I emerged back into society. I wasn't okay but I was getting there.

I gave birth November 17th to a baby girl. Paul wasn't there; Linda was pregnant so he would stay with her. She was mine, though, my little baby.

I named her Julia Marie, after both my mom and Paul's. And it was then, as I was holding my child for the first time, that I really grew up. Suddenly, Paul's cheating didn't matter. And it was then, while I watched her sleep, that I truly forgave Paul. For better or worse, we had parted ways. But Julia was still here. And I decided that she would know her dad too.

The day Paul cheated on me was the day the Lennon-McCartney relationship died. John never forgave him, no matter what I did.

It was around this time that Cynthia came to America to stay, brokenhearted. John had broken ties with her in favor of a Japanese woman by the name of Yoko.

When I returned to London a few weeks after that, I was greeted with quite a shock. I lost my brother. He was either high, tripping, pissed or hung over. Yoko was quite the druggie too, but to a lesser degree. I love Cyn, don't get me wrong, but a lot of the hatred directed towards Yoko is just wrong. Flawed though she may be, she didn't break the Beatles up. John did. Paul did. I did. Not her.

By the time I left, we had a grudging friendship that would blossom after they both quit the worst of the drugs. And while I was there, Linda and I rebuilt parts of what we once had. Have I ever truly forgiven her? No. But she is Julia's stepmother, so I've decided to set a good example. Linda is a good person and Paul is lucky to have her. I just wish both of them had the guts to end things well. Regardless, I stayed until Linda delivered Mary. While I was there, I also forged a relationship with Heather, who was 4 at the time and absolutely adored Julia.

I came home to two surprises, both of which were infinitely huge. Cynthia and Casey were together. And, to my complete total and utter shock, Jack and Josh had found love in each other as well. I mean, holy crap. Who would've thought?

A few more years passed. I fell in love again, for good this time. If you had told me in 1964 that I would end up married to Drew, I'd call you insane. But now I'm Mrs. Alihandria Johnson-Lennon. Just goes to show. We had a son, John William. And, three years later, another daughter by the name of Jacqueline Elizabeth.

Jack and Josh had triplets, Eddie James, Landon Steele and Quinn Alihandria, although Landon is just called Andy.

Casey and Cyn never had any other kids, but Casey turned out to be a great Dad for Julian, who came to live with them. They've been nothing but faithful to each other.

Now I have my family. The Eagles are still coming out with music, although by Sergeant Pepper, I accepted my music would never beat the Lennon-McCartney label. And the White Album and Abbey Road only proved me right. Once the Beatles broke up, I played overdubs on John's albums and joined Wings for a tour, along with Drew and the kids, which was a blast.

I have a lot to be thankful for. My family, extended and screwed-up. My friends, who are basically my family. My music. As I'm writing this, it's 1979. My children are beautiful. My life isn't perfect per say, but it's pretty damn close. And, looking back, I'm proud of my life and how I've lived it.

My name is Alihandria Johnson-Lennon. Once I was lost, but now I'm found. I'm where I belong, no matter what anyone else says. I'm a mother, a wife, a sister, a friend, a twin and an aunt. I have my family. And nothing else matters.

Well, that's that then. The end. Wow. It's been quite a ride. Thank you all. I'm gonna go one at a time and hand out cookies now.

FlowerChild17: The night I published this, I went to bed thinking that no one would see it. Your review in the morning both shocked and thrilled both me and Leaf, who helped me get this sucker up. I've always loved your writing and you're just all-around awesome. Have a cookie.

The Crazy Violist: I honestly don't know where to start. Your one-shot was the first Beatle-related thing I had ever seen. You review my stuff, then beta it. I've learned so much from you. Thanks for all that brutal honesty :) Here's a cookie.

paulsgirl34: Well, I wake up one morning to read the longest string of reviews EVER and then find out the person behind it is pretty firetrucking awesome. Nuff said. Now nom a cookie.

BeatlesGirl9: I'm glad all your play stuff is over so we can PM again :). Thanks for putting up with all my bored ramblings and all that crap. Take a cookie.

0225: LOL I just remembered you have an account here :). Fail. Anywho, thanks for the support with ending this sucker. I can't wait to get back to roleplaying. This is for you *hands you hot cheeto and a cookie*

FiendishThingie00: Leaf loves your username. Just saying :). Thanks for the reviews. Gah...must you have the 00s? Now Leaf's making a crap-load of pervy jokes...anywho, have a twinkie. Sorry, cookie. FUCK YOU LEAF.

The Starkiller: You're probably going to be this first person to review this, as normal :). I really appreciate I can count on one review, even if the chapter epically sucks. This is a cookie. Eat it. AND LIKE IT, GOSHDARNIT! :)

woolhatchick393: Leaf also approves of your name. But minus the pervy jokes. THANK GOD. Anyway, you be awesome. And another reliable reviewer. Now nom your cookie.

Beatlefan22: Thanks for putting me on favorites. But you never reviewed, so I can't make some awesome inside joke thingie...crap. Just know I appreciate it and you get a cookie.

Princess Rose-Paul: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WILL YOU PLEASE UPDATE WE ALL LIVE IN A BIG BLUE BOX AGAIN?! Sorry, had to say it :). Thanks for everything. Seriously. Now eat a well-deserved cookie.

klinghoffer: Thanks for adding me to the Big Long Favorite List Of Doom. Yet again, no review so I really don't get to say anything all that interesting. Just a thanks and a cookie. Which you now get to eat.

Leaf-The-Muddy-Stormbringer: Big-ass gun. Nuff said :). Seriously, dude, I love you to little tiny pieces of fluffy, smelly doom. SO I CAN STICK YOU IN CHEWIE'S HAMSTER BALLS! Really, though, thanks for everything. DOOM, DESTRUCTION AND DESPAIR NOW EAT A GODDAMNED COOKIE.

Well, that's it with the thank-yous. Now, on to more doomish business.

There will be a sequel. It will be a collab between Leaf and myself. It will focus on Julia and Quinn, mostly. There will be doom, rock and more doom. It'll come out sometime in the relatively near future. Hopefully.

Do you want an OC in the sequel? Drop me of Leaf-The-Muddy-Stormbringer a PM and we'll take the first three people. Just know you probably won't have all that much influence on the plot. But we can always use new minions ):)

I suck at saying good-byes. It's a good thing I'm sticking around, then. :) I love you all, thank you so much for all the support. Now, Ali Lennon is signing out.
