One year later

I was walking towards the beach when I heard someone call out to me.
"Amber!"
I turned around and found Eliza waddling towards me. I walked towards her.
"Hey Eliza. How are you?"
"Im good," she puffed. "Can't wait till the little one comes. The heat is killing me."
I chuckled and gave her a hug.
"So what's up?"
"Oh yeah. I came to see if you wanted to come over for dinner tonight."
"I would love to."
"Great. Bring Shea, too."
"Alright."
"Well i have to go home and get Charlie to get everything ready so i'll see you tonight."
"Sure thing," I chuckled. "See you tonight."
She turned and waddled back home. I continued walking to the beach. When I got there I walked to the waters edge and sat down. Whenever I was alone my thought always go back to last year. I always think about how I nearly died after finally telling Shea how I felt about him. I still get painful twinges when I move in a certain way but the doc says its normal. Mum got a letter from the courts saying that Kai was sent to prison and was sentenced to life without parol. So we should never see him again. Uncle Denny went to see him once and saw that there was no chance of escaping the place. Which I am glad about. I could not handle seeing him again.
Two seasons after everything, Shea proposed to me. We have been married for nearly two seasons now. We had a big wedding and everyone on the island came. Eliza was my maid of honour and Charlie was the best man.
Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around my shoulders causing me to jump. They pulled me back in a hug.
"Sorry for scaring you, Amber."
I turned my head and smiled up at Shea.
"It's alright. I was thinking about things again. I didn't hear you coming."
Shea smiled and gave me a kiss. He sat down next to me and pulled me against his side. I laid my head on his shoulder and looked at the ocean. "We have been invited to Eliza and Charlies for dinner tonight. Can you go?"
Shea rubbed his hand up and down my arm and rested his head on mine. "Yes, I can go."
I just nodded and closed my eyes. I must have drifted off because the next thing I know, I woke up in my bed. I looked towards my clock and found it was late afternoon. I sat up and stretched. Then i suddenly felt sick and ran to the toilet. I barely made it.
"Amber!"
Shea came running in.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah. Just felt a little sick."
"I think you should see the doctor. Lately you sleep a lot and your sick often."
"Your right. Can you go get him. I don't think I can walk there."
"Ok." Shea helped me back to bed and got me a glass of water before he left. They returned not long after. Dr Trent walked over and set his bag on the floor and sat in the chair next to the bed.
"Shea tells me you haven't been well lately. Tell me your symptoms."
"Well, I'm tired all the time, and I've been sick a lot too."
"Ok. I'll just do some tests."
After he finished the tests, he sat back down on the chair. He called Shea in. When Shea sat on the bed next to me, Dr Trent smiled at us.
"There is nothing wrong."
"There isn't?" I asked.
"Nope. Congratulations. You guys are going to have a baby."
I just stared at him in surprise. Then I turned to Shea and found him smiling at me with tears in his eyes.
"We are going to be parents. Our wishes came true."
He pulled me into hug and I hugged him back tightly, crying. I was told just after I healed that there might be a chance I couldn't have children. Every day after we got back from our honeymoon I would go to the church and pray to the harvest goddess that she would bless us with a child. Now we can be a complete family. Dr Trent packed his bag and stood up.
"Make sure you rest and don't worry, the sickness as well as the tiredness shouldn't last too much longer," he said, then chuckled. "Well hopefully. Some women are known to have the sickness through it all. I hope yours doesn't last that long."
"Thank you, Dr Trent," I said smiling.
"Your quiet welcome. Remember to rest. You know where to find me if you need me."
He turned and left. I looked at Shea and found him smiling lovingly at me. He cupped my cheek and I turned my head slightly and kissed his palm. "I'm so happy," he said.
"Me, too," I replied. Shea stood and kissed my forehead.
"I'll go get your family."
"Thank you."
He left and returned with mum, dad and Leo.
Mum and Leo walked over and hugged me. "Congratulations, sweetheart," she said.
"Congrats, sis," Leo said planting a kiss on my cheek.
They moved back and I found dad standing there smiling at me. Then he hugged me.
"You have always been like you were my own daughter and i loved you as if you were mine. And now you're giving me my first grandchild. I could not be any happier. I have a family to love and it's a little thanks to you pushing your mum and me together. I am so proud to call you my daughter."
He kissed my forehead and when he pulled back I saw tears in his eyes which caused tears to come to mine.
"Thank you, daddy."
He smiled and moved back again. Then I looked at the clock and realised it was getting late.
"Oh no. We have to get ready."
"Ready? For what?" mum asked.
"Eliza asked us over for dinner. I'm looking forward to telling her my news."
"Ok. We will go now then. Take it easy, you hear me."
"I will," I smiled at her.
They left and we got ready to go.
When we arrived, we told them the good news. Eliza got so excited that her waters broke. Shea ran for Dr Trent for the second time that day. We waited out in the lounge room for a few hours before we heard a baby cry. We all ran into the room and found Eliza holding the baby in her arms. She looked up as we entered and smiled.
"It's a boy."
We all cheered. I went over and sat on the bed next to her.
"So, what are you naming him?"
Eliza looked at Charlie and grinned.
"Adam."
"That's a nice name," I said.
Soon after, we left so Eliza could rest. As we were walking home Shea looked at the night sky and smiled.
"I can't wait until we meet our little one."
"Me either."
He stopped and pulled me into a hug and kissed me. When we finally broke for air he started walking again.
"I love you very much," he said quietly.
"And I love you more than anything," I replied.
"Let's have a big family together."
"Of course. A big happy, healthy family."

60 years later

*Shea POV*

"Granddad!" I heard a voice call out.
I turned and saw my great-grandson Thomas running toward me. I smiled and bent to hug him. When I looked back up I saw Leo and my sons Michael and Jake and daughters Kate and Jasmine, my grandkids, David, Terry, Ian, Russell, Christine and Fiona and great grandkids, Paul, Robert, Glenn, Jason, Tracey, Julie, John, William, Emma, Ashley, Susie, Megan and Peter walk onto the farm. As Amber and I hoped, we had a big family. They have all arrived so they could have a chance for a final goodbye to Amber. We all walked inside and went into our bedroom. They all stood around the bed. I sat on the bed next to her.
Amber smiled gently up at them all. "You guys came," she whispered. "I just wanted to say before I left that you all gave me all the wishes I have ever wished for. I wished for a big famly and I got it. I wished for healthy happy grandchildren and I got it. I also wished to see my great-grandchildren and I got that wish too. As my dad put it when I found out i was pregnant with Micheal, I could not be happier. My last wish is that i hope you all continue to be happy and healthy and have happy healthy families. I love you all very much."
I looked at everyone and smiled. "I promise that for the rest of my days until i rejoin Amber I will continue making sure you are all happy and healthy."
Amber passed away peacefully that night. We were all around her giving her all our love. When she passed I felt a warmth caress my cheek.

A month later Shea rejoined with Amber. Their family forever on grew up happy and healthy knowing that they had a great lady and man watching over them from the stories that were written by their kids and passed down generation to generation.

The end.


I know i did a poll on whether it would be a year later or 60 years later but i decided to do both. I actually nearly cried when writing Vaughn and Ambers speeches. And i think the ending was sad but happy one. Hope you all like it. See you on my next story (lol if i make one ^^)
