Epilogue

Two Weeks Later

Mac walked out on the back deck area while he was deep in thought, approaching his friends sitting around the firepit. Thornton was the only one standing, but she looked more relaxed than she did at work, so that was something. Bozer looked up and saw his friend's expression.

"Mac, it's gonna be okay," Bozer assured his friend.

"What?" Mac asked, breaking out of his zoned-out trance. "I know, I'm not worried," he insisted. He was honestly doing a really good job at hiding the fact that he was nervous, but his friends saw right through it.

"It's alright to be worried about seeing your dad again," Riley said. "I mean, you haven't seen him since a few days after he got out of the hospital. You don't know what he's going to say or how he's going to act, or-"

"That's not what I'm worried about," Mac interrupted. He closed his eyes in resignation as he realized he just admitted he was worried about something.

"Well then what is it?" Jack asked. Mac shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to voice his fears out loud just in case he jinxed it. Jack didn't need him to say it out loud though; he knew exactly what the kid's worry was. "You're worried he's just not gonna show up," he stated. It wasn't a question. MacGyver paused a moment before giving his head a small nod. "Don't worry about it," Jack assured his friend, standing up and walking over to clap a hand on Mac's shoulder. "He'll be here."

"Yes, because that alleviates all of my worries," Mac said sarcastically, though he knew Jack was only trying to help him feel better.

"Jus' don't think about it, Mac," Bozer said. "Come enjoy one of my delicious burgers, and just let your worries melt away."

Mac let out a short sigh and walked forward, grabbing some food from the table they had brought outside.

I have no idea if my dad is going to show up. I got his phone number and I invited him to this little get-together. He said he'd love to come, and it's not that I don't believe him...but he's said stuff like that in the past. Bozer and Jack are right. I just need to worry about what's happening now. Like how I'm not sure if I trust Bozer and his cooking after the cookie incident.

Mac picked up a burger and tentatively bit into it, a small grin coming across his face as he tasted the delicious meat, which practically melted in his mouth. "Boze," Mac said around a mouthful of meat. "You really outdid yourself this time."

Bozer grinned. "Why, thank you Mac," he said, giving a small bow. "It's all in the-"

"Meat mixture," Jack, Riley, Thornton and MacGyver finished at the same time.

"Okaaaay," Bozer said, making a face at his friends. "But y'all don't know what's actually IN the meat mixture, so there."

MacGyver took another bit of the burger, chewing it and moving it around in his mouth for a minute. "Well, if I had to wager a guess," he said, scrunching his face up to pretend he was thinking hard. "I'd say you put both onion AND garlic powder in here, but not too much of either, so it's not overpowering," he said. He would have gone on, but at that moment, the doorbell rang. Mac's heart beat a little faster as he walked inside and towards the front door, aware of his friends staring at his back.

He opened the front door, and there on the doorstep was James, with Courtney at his side. James' right arm was in a sling pulled tight to his chest to keep his shoulder from moving too much, while his left hand was closed around Courtney's.

"Mind if we come in?" James asked with a small grin. Mac stood to the side, gesturing for his father and girlfriend to come in the house. "I hope you don't mind that I brought Courtney?" James asked as he turned back towards his son.

"Why would I mind?" Mac asked with a smile at his dad's girlfriend. She smiled back at him, and MacGyver motioned for them to follow him. "Everyone's just out back," he said, leading the way out to the back patio.

"Hey Mr. MacGyver!" Bozer called out when he saw Mac's dad.

"Wilt Bozer," James said, grabbing Bozer's hand when he reached his son's friend. "It's been a while," he commented.

"It sure has sir," Bozer replied. "And you must be the stunning Courtney," Bozer said, shaking Courtney's hand as well.

"I don't know about the stunning part, but I am Courtney," she confirmed with a laugh.

"You're stunning," James assured her. She smiled at him, then they turned their attention back to the gathering at hand.

"Well, I made plenty of burgers, so I hope you two are hungry!" Bozer said, grabbing plastic plates and handing them to their new guests. James and Courtney got their burgers and began eating, their eyes going wide as they took their first bites.

"Wilt, this is amazing," Courtney informed the young man.

"Please, call me Bozer," Bozer requested. "And thank you. The secret is really in the meat mixture," he said, shooting his friends smug looks as they all rolled their eyes.

The group laughed and talked, and while there was a little bit of tension at first, it soon melted away, and everyone seemed to be getting along.

Well, my dad showed up. Not that I was expecting him to bail, but I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Now, not only am I surrounded by the best friends in the world (who are also my family), I've got my dad here too. I know that things may be rocky for a little while, but with the help of friends, both mine and his, I think we may be able to become father and son again.

There we go! The end...Aw... :') What did you guys think?

So, I just want to say a few things: I promise, for those of you who have given me prompts, I haven't forgotten about them, scout's honor! They're just coming slower than I would like :/ So I promise that I will get them up...I just can't say when. *covers face with hands* I'm sorry!

Also, who else is flipping excited for the crossover? I'm just so bummed I won't be able to watch it live like I've been able to with the others XD I've got a volunteer thing that I'm doing with my friends, but I will watch it as soon as I can on Saturday!

So I hope this story lived up to expectations!

Tam? Is it okay? We still friends? ;D
