A/N: This is it. I hope you guys enjoyed. Please read my little message at the end.

Epilogue

JJ held my hand when I had nightmares. She held my hand when I explained (in much detail) what happened with Sasha. She held my hand when we watched movies. She held my hand when the cases got too close to home.

She held my hand when we told Strauss we were in a relationship. She held my hand when the Section Chief said we could keep our jobs. She held my hand when I found out Matthew died. She held my hand when I told her about Italy and the hell I went through.

She held my hand when I was finally able to say those three words (she even cried a little, just as I did).

She held my hand when my mother dropped by. She held my hand when my mother called me a disgrace and a disappointment. She held my hand as she screamed at my mother for not keeping me safe (for letting my father abuse me).

She held my hand when her parents made a surprise visit. She held my hand when she told her parents she was in love with me. She held my hand as her parents cried but found acceptance.

She held my hand when we moved into a small house (and got another cat of which she named 'Cheeto').

She held my hand after the night we both proposed to each other (funnily enough, we planned our proposals on the same night).

She held my hand when I needed comfort. She held my hand when I needed her. Every single time I needed her.

She held my hand, now, as I was being inked where my scar had finally healed. Upon Reid's suggestion, the Fibonacci spiral was being tattooed on my stomach. A reminder that even things damaged can be beautiful. That perfection could be found anywhere. In the darkness, in the dead.

Now that things were better, healthier, happier, I realized that all I needed was to find the vital signs. A proof of life to take me back to the living. And I was lucky. I could always find that proof every morning when I looked into my wife's blue eyes.

The end.

Wow, what a long journey. They've gone through a lot and are finally happy (and married).

I want to thank every single one of you who have stayed with this story. You're wonderful and special and thank you SO SO MUCH. Every single comment makes my day so much better. Thank you.

Also, I'm going to promote myself for a sec. If you liked this story, read my two other Jemily stories! They're pretty cool if I can say so myself. If you liked the darkest parts the best, read "Not A Fantasy, Not A Dream, It's Just You and Me." If you liked the fluff, read "The Planets Bend Between Us." And, if you like the show Wynonna Earp, read that story that I'm currently writing! It's pretty cool!

Thank you.
