A/N: This is the epilogue. Please review and let me know what you think after you read it. Warning, this is a time jump.

The first time we met was in this very bar, in the very place I stand right now.

I was just a girl in a bar, and he was just a guy.

Everything was so simple, and so complicated.

But the truth is, this bar is magical.

It brings people together: first my parents, and then myself and Tuck.

And in that first meeting, I never would have expected to be here just a few years later, celebrating our engagement, or getting drunk and laughing once I finally completed med school. This is where I came and cried when I lost my first patient, and where I fled after Tuck and I had our first fight.

This bar is my place, my safety, my haven, which is why I have to let it go.

This is my first time out of the house since I had Anna last Thursday, and I came straight here with this journal which I found when I was looking for Anna's blanket.

Tuck gave me this when I was in the hospital after my nervous breakdown, and I intend to fill it with my own stories, and then leave it in case Anna ever needs it one day.

This bar already gave me what I needed, it helped me. Now I am whole and healed, and I am leaving it in hopes that one day Anna will meet someone here, find herself here.

If I could send this through a time machine to let myself know that everything would turn out alright, I don't think I would.

I had to learn for myself, and now I have.

And Tuck, I'm going home to see him now because he's probably called Uncle Alex to come and help him with the baby.

I have my own family, and it's only going to keep growing.

So now, I say goodbye to this bar, goodbye to where my parents met, and where Anna's parents met.

Because the truth is, in the beginning, we are all just a girl and a guy in a bar.

Sincerely for now, with all the love in the world,
