AN: Wow guys this is finally the end, what a journey! Thank you for all the love and support it means so much to me!

3 years later…

Will sat on the bench on the edge of the park. Frankie was with Susan pushing the twins, Matt and Spencer, on the swings. Will smiled watching Frankie run a hand over the swollen bump of their 'third and final child, Will'. They decided to be surprised on the gender but they both had a very strong feeling it was a little boy. Will shifted his gaze to where Sophie and Elena were playing in the sand. Sophie's fifth birthday was coming up in a few months and all she could talk about was going to kindergarten. Will wasn't ready to send her off to school yet but Sophie begged and she had him wrapped around her finger, much like her mother, and he knew she would kick ass. Sophie was smart, confident and a little bit stubborn. All traits he's sure she got from Frankie, she disagrees with him on the stubborn part which only further proves his point. Elena was quiet, more reserved. She definitely had Frankie's gift for reading people and Will's charm. She was a happy little toddler and Will loved both of them to pieces. Even when they were currently fighting over the same shovel despite Will bringing more than one to the park for this very reason. He was about to go over there when he felt a presence at his side.

"Excuse me is this seat taken?" A young woman asked, probably in her mid twenties. She had long sandy brown hair, a little more blonde than brown, green eyes and faint freckles across the bridge of her nose. She was lean and fairly tall with a black leather jacket that was way too warm to be wearing in this heat. There was something unsettlingly familiar about her but Will couldn't quite place it.

"Uh no." he cleared his throat, "go ahead." She nodded at sat down. They sat in silence and Will kept catching her staring at him but every time he turned his head she looked away. By all accounts this woman was old enough to be his daughter and Will felt uncomfortable being stared at so intently. "Do you have any kids?" he tried to make small talk.

"Nope, you?" she looked genuinely interested and Will was surprised, most people didn't want to hear about other people's kids.

"Well," he lit up like he always did when telling people about his family, "that's my wife Frankie over there either carrying little baby Noah or Emily but we both are about 80% sure it's Noah but she was wrong about my youngest so I don't know." He chuckled then pointed over to Sophie and Elena. "That little girl is my daughter Elena and the little cutie bossing her around is my oldest, Sophie." She smiled warmly at him nodding intently. "Will Chase." He said introducing himself. She took his hand with a firm handshake.

"So-" she paused for half a second before continuing, "-die… Connor. So, what do you do Will?"

"I'm a co owner of Dead Drop with my wife." He informed her.

"Oh wow, I just got hired there as an assistant not too long ago." She replied almost instantly.

"That's great! Maybe I'll see you around." He smiled, she shifted a bit in her seat.

"Oh I'm only there barely part-time, I'm still in the academy." She told him with a small shrug.

"The FBI academy?" Will asked and Sodie smiled nodding.

"Top of my class just like my dad." She boasted

"Well if you need help with anything don't be afraid to go to Frankie." He pointed at her and she waved. "she may seem intimidating but I'll let you in on a little secret, she'll do absolutely anything for anybody. She is the least selfish person I know, I mean she's put up with my ass for almost 10 years now so if that doesn't say something about her character I don't know what does. It also helps if you bring her a coffee with vanilla in it." He chuckled.

"I'll keep that in mind." She whispered thickly. Will saw her quickly wipe a tear from the cheek that wasn't facing him. "I love this park." She said straight ahead.

"Me too." Will agreed, keeping an eye on his kids as well as his two nephews as they toddled towards Sophie and Elena.

"My dad and I used to come to this park to run every morning when I started the academy." Sodie said somberly and Will could see her jagged breath.

"Used too?" Will asked gently, it really wasn't any of his business but he felt drawn to comfort her. She turned to him, tears streaming down her face that she tried to wipe away.

"My dad- he's… really sick. Has been for some time now, we don't really know how much time he has left. You remind me of him… little bit" She gave a weak smile and put her head in her hands, her shoulders shook with sobs. Will instantly reached out to touch her shoulders but he stopped himself, he didn't know if that would be too creepy. Something in him told him that she needed someone. He ran a hand in a figure eight pattern across her back. A gesture that works all the time to get Sophie to stop crying but it only made Sodie cry harder. Will's heart broke for the girl.

"I'm so sorry, my dad passed away suddenly from a heart attack, but he wasn't the pinnacle of health before that. It's hard to watch the ones you love suffer. I wish there was something I could do to ease the pain." Will remembers how he felt when his own dad passed, this girl was so young she didn't deserve that kind of heartbreak. She turned to him wiping the tears off her face with both hands and looked him dead in the eyes.

"You could stop drinking."

Will was too stunned to speak but before he could her phone rang. She gave an irritated huff before fishing it out of her bag. "What!" she snapped into the phone, "Yes I did," her tone turned gentler, "no not yet… I just- no, stop just- I'll handle it okay? Just stay where you are, do not-do not-… listen to me Laney…. Yeah okay I'll be right there." She quickly threw the phone back in her bag and turned to leave. "I'm sorry I have to go, it's my sister." She gave him a lingering look before taking off down the path. Will stared at the empty space next to him confused. He took a deep breath, fearing the worst. If her sister was calling and the phone call sounds rushed and agitated, paired with her running away, her dad must be taking a turn for the worst. He took a moment of silence for her. Crying in the distance caught his attention.

"Fi!" Elena cried next to a ruined sandcastle, she could quite say the 'So' in Sophie's name so it always came out like 'Fi'. Sophie stood next to her looking smug playing with a bucket. Will sighed and got up to go see what happened. "Daddy! Daddy! Fi broke!" she pouted pointing to the pile of sand.

"Sophie did you do that?" he asked crossing his arms, Sophie didn't say anything she just continued to stare at her feet. "Sophie?" he asked again sternly. She nodded her head slowly. "Was that a nice thing to do?" she shook her head. "That's right, that's what mean kids do, we aren't mean kids are we?" she shook her head again. "Now why don't you hug your sister and tell her you're sorry." Sophie walked over and wrapped her arms around Elena.

"I'm sorry Laney."

Will felt all the air leave his lungs. To his knowledge Sophie had never called her that before. "What did you just say?" he asked with more force than he intended too and Sophie instantly started crying, probably fearing she was in trouble. He felt bad and scooped her up, she wrapped her arms around his neck and cried into it.

"I'm sorry daddy." She hiccupped, "I heard mommy call her Laney today and I wanted to do it too… I didn't mean it."

"No baby it's okay you aren't in trouble. You can call her that, I didn't mean to yell at you. I was just surprised that's all." He soothed, without even thinking about it he began running a hand up and down her back and she started to calm down. Will froze when he realized what he was doing, it was the exact same thing he had just done for Sodie. Sodie who stumbled over her own name, Sodie who had a very familiar shade of green eyes. Will quickly put Sophie back on her feet. Wiping tears away from her big doe eyes. Will's thumb skimmed over the faint freckles that had just been beginning to form over Sophie's little nose. He kissed Sophie on the nose and she giggled before running to go back and play with Elena and her cousins. Will watched in awe, knowing what he knew about time travel he was 99.9% certain that he just met adult Sophie. Looking back how could he not have seen it, she was practically a miniature Frankie, right down to the intimidating leather jacket. She was beautiful. Will walked back to the bench, and was thankful he was near it, because he fell to his knees remembering what she had said. 'My dad is really sick… we don't know how much time he has left.' His vision blurred and he felt a panic attack coming on. He sat on the bench and took deep breaths, putting his head between his knees. His world felt like it was spiraling out of control. Just then a little hand touched his shoulder, he snapped his head up and was face to face with Sophie.

"Daddy are you okay?" she asked softly. Will stared blankly at the little girl in front of him, long hair tied in two braids down her back, her favorite shirt tucked into her 'princess skirt' and red cowboy boots that Jai gave her that don't match anything but she insists on wearing them with everything. Her missing tooth visible through her popsicle stained smile. 'I wish there was something I could do.' 'You could stop drinking.'

"Yeah Sprinkle I'm fine." He said with a raspy voice, pulled her tightly into a hug. He vowed from this day on, not another drop of alcohol was going to touch his lips.

AN: and that's the end! I hope I did this story justice. I'm really gonna miss writing little Sophie. Funny thing is I wrote the epilogue before I even wrote the rest of the story and I just added more details as I went along.
