A/N: Well, here it is, the epilogue.

I just want to say a huge thank you to BloodRedLust for being such a magnificent beta, I couldn't have done this without her. I love you B!

DorkyDuck09 for being just generally amazing. I love you also.

I'm blown away with the fact that people actually read this, I was so nervous about ever even writing fanfiction, but now I'm quite glad I did. I'm sorry I stopped replying to your wonderful reviews, I had issues with wisdom teeth and didn't get on to this site nearly enough. I'm going to try and reply to all of them as soon as this goes up.

Sorry the updates took longer and longer to come out; like I said, sometimes life gets in the way, and I want you to know I love you ALL. To the point that I'm sitting in bed, with ice on my face updating because I feel like a terrible author! (The ice is because I had my wisdom teeth out, which was fun...)

I honestly don't know what else to say. Thank you.

Xx. Love, I.J.

P.S. this takes place about seven to ten years after the last chapter I guess.

Alan smiled warmly at Simon.

"They should be here soon, son. Blaine sent me a text saying that Amy's child restraint was having technical troubles."

He paused, "I don't know what kind of technical troubles there can be associated with a child restraint, but apparently they're having 'em."

Simon nodded, "Thanks... God, I'm so nervous. Is it normal to be this nervous?"

Alan chuckled, "I know I was. Don't worry, it feels really overwhelming now, but soon you'll see John and all those nerves will just melt away."

"Thanks for doing this."

Alan patted Simon on the back affectionately.

"Simon, you're practically my son. I'd walk Aleisha down the aisle, and I'm going to do the same with you, except just standing at the altar. At the same time as John's dad. We're all here to support you. All the people here today are the ones who love you, okay? I think Emily even managed to make it."

Simon beamed, "Really? Oh wow I can't wait to see her. It's been a while."

Alan agreed, "She's been at college though, and you've been working so it's understandable. Hopefully soon you'll be able to see more of each other."

"Ooh look, they're here!"

Simon pointed excitedly to where he could see Kurt and Blaine weaving their way through tables on the sand.

Simon and John had decided on a beach wedding, since that was where they had met.

When Simon had told Kurt and Blaine this on the phone they both ooh-ed and ahh-ed over the romanticism of it all, promising they'd make it for his special day.

"I'm so glad you guys could make it!" Simon exclaimed, pulling Kurt in for a hug.

"All technical difficulties with Amy's child restraint aside, we're glad we could make it as well," Blaine said with a grin.

"Oh! Amy! Oh guys, she's adorable. And you all look so happy together. Such a beautiful family."

Blaine and Kurt blushed. Amy just babbled.

"Okay, well the ceremony's gonna start soon guys, you might wanna get your seats."

"Alan!" Blaine cried, wrapping his arms around the older man.

"Hey Blaine, how's the kidney going?"

Blaine laughed, "I'm looking after it like I promised I would. You gonna have a drink tonight?"

"Just the one, and only if Karen doesn't see me."

Kurt caught the interaction and rolled his eyes lovingly.

Sure, Alan hadn't been around for all of Blaine's life, but now that he was, there was no denying that they shared some of the same genes.

Kurt knew that they'd go home tonight, tuck Amy into her cot and spend the night talking about how lovely the evening was, and how it was great that Simon had found someone after so many phone calls with the poor boy who'd convinced himself he was destined to be forever alone.

"We knew he'd find love." Blaine would say, smiling.

"Yes we did. And we knew he'd find a great dad in Alan."

And Blaine would frown slightly because he still spent some days brooding over the fact that Alan had never been there for him when he should have been.

Then he'd shake his head because he was being selfish when really he was grateful that he'd finally had a chance to form a positive relationship with Alan. Granted, it wasn't that of a father and son, but it was more than some people got.

And that was more than enough for all of them.

Fin.
