EPILOGUE

Maya POV

It's been awhile since we came back home… and it was really hard to get into Riley's room and not seeing her light in there… in the five years we were lost Josh had moved there but barely touched anything… I decided to make Riley's room Topanga's… and she loves it… I was sitting by the bay window watching her sleep when I saw an african-american man at the door, it startled me until I realized who he was.

-Double G… you're Trips dad

He walked in, he is alone, not with his bodyguards like Babe once told us, he wasn't wearing gold or anything, he seemed like a normal guy. I asked him to sit beside me on the bay window.

-I heard you found Babe…

I told him the whole story.

-I never blamed her for anything you know? I knew how Trip was… and how supportive Kenzie and Babe were of him…

-Thank you for helping Babe… she was like a daughter to me.

-We loved every moment we shared with her, she was incredible.

I saw him get up and walk out, when he reached the door he turned around, walked back and placed an envelope on Topanga's bed.

-It's prepaid card. There's ten grand in it… from here on I'll make sure Topanga has everything she needs.

I got up startled

-Wait… you really don't need

He smiled.

-I do. More than you think.

I felt the tears running down my face as he walked out. I was glaring at Topanga when Lucas came in.

-Hey…

He sat on the other side of the bed and caressed her hair.

-She's beautiful.

-Maya I've been thinking and I need to ask you something.

-Sure huckleberry, what?

But what he did next really shocked me… I walked to the side of the bed here I was and took knee while taking a red box out of his pocket.

-Huckleberry… Lucas… what are you doing?

He produced a ring and placed it on my finger.

-Will you marry me Maya Hart?

I glared at him startled.

-L… Lucas… I'm 17… what are you

-I want to do what's right for Topanga… I want her to have a mother and a father… I don't mean get married tomorrow… what I want is to know that you will marry me when time is right.

I hugged him and gave him a big kiss.

-I will marry you Huckleberry. I promise you.

Finally… after all the suffering… after all we went through… life seems to be getting better… because in case you don't know… we both both scholarships in the same college… we're both strong… we're both survivors.

The end.
