A/N: Song lyrics written by me. Sorry it's not a new one, it's a reprise of Crystal Castle from chapter 4.

Epilogue: One year later

They were sitting on a blanket on the beach, not far from their seaside home. Sweeney was sitting quietly by his wife's side, staring blankly at the ocean. (Some habits can never be broken...)

Toby, who was experiencing his first crush, had just been rejected by the girl he was enamored with and he was now laying with his head in Mrs. Todd's lap, crying.

She stroked the boy's hair, idly noting the way the light hit the ruby of the ring she wore as she began to sing softly.

"I'll catch your tears as they fall.
In my hands I'll hold them all.
Every one a drop of moonlight,
Every one a shinging star.
Born only when you were sad,
But look how beautiful they are.
Each one a pretty pearl,
Or diamond from your heart.
Of course, your smile is prettier by far.
I'll catch each teardrop as it falls,
And build you a castle of crystal walls."

Sweeney glanced over at her and smiled a little. In another half a year or so, they'd be singing that lullabye to their own child.

His gaze still fixed on the vast expanse of the ocean, he reached over and placed his hand on her knee.
