Another Mark 3

*EPILOGUE*

*Pacific Rim: Uprising is not included in this epilogue*

It's been a couple years(And by that I mean 22 years) but Raleigh and I are still going strong. Tendo,Herc, Mako and the doctors where still good friends of ours and great familyfor my kids. I've had three kids with Raleigh, one boy, two girls. Our eldest, Yancy Stacker Becket. And our girls, Josie Charles Becket and Gipsy Ocean Becket.

Raleigh and I had just finished telling them our story about Jaegers, Kaiju's, Death, Love and the people they were named after.

"Now do you understand?" Raleigh questioned as our children stayed silent for a moment. Gipsy then looked up and she nodded, standing.

"I'm named after the Jaeger and her last resting place. Right?" she wondered. I followed her movement and nodded, walking over to her and giving her a hug. We were currently in our living room and the kids where sitting across from Raleigh and I. When I pulled her in, she leaned into my touch. Although she was 18 she was still as attached to me as she was when she was 4. My sons voice then pulled me back to look at him as he stood, followed by Raleigh.

"And I'm named after your brother, Dad. And Grandpa." He was then pulled into a hug by his father. You should have seen Raleigh while Yancy was growing up, he was such a loving father and was so protective of him, same with his daughters when they were born. My son always looked up to his father so for him to be named after his uncle, it was an honour to him. Also my kids called Pentecost their Grandfather or Grandpa because he had been my family, my father, even if it wasn't by blood. Once I broke from Gipsy and Raleigh broke form Yancy we all looked to Josie. She had her arms crossed and looked slightly hurt and confused. I moved pass Gipsy and kneeled down to my daughter, Raleigh, Yancy and Gipsy enclosing us in a sort of huddle.

"What's wrong, J.C?" I asked, using her nickname her friends gave her. She lifted her eyes, then turned away. It was like she was afraid to look at me. I placed my hands on her knees and repeated, "What's wrong?"

"Why do G and Yanc get cool names with important meaning and I get stuck with a guys middle name!? I don't understand!" she cried, shooting her head at me. I shook my head in reply, slowly blinking and sighing.

"I don't think you listen well enough. You're 20 years old Josie and extremely smart. You're not a child" I told her as I looked deep into her eyes. "Your name has meaning too." 

"What meaning?" she cried, a small tear falling down her cheek. I moved my hand and wiped it away. Grabbing her hand I looked her deeply in the eyes.

"If anything, you had the most important name." I told her. She just rolled her eyes and I sighed. "Josie, not only are you named after an annoying and stupid guy, who I have to admit I miss very much, you are named after an unconditional love. My sister, Josie is who you are named after. You would have heard that she died alongside me in my last fight before working with your father. She was an amazing girl, but I never knew about the man she loved. He too sacrificed himself to save the world from the Kaiju and you have been given his name in honour of him. Just like Yancy has his names and Gipsy is named after our Jaeger. You are named after Charles, Chuck...he loved my sister very much." I finished and I watched as Josie's eyes grew a little.

"Your telling me that I'm named after Uncle Herc's son?" she asked. Nodding my head she started to cry. Herc always talked about his son to Josie because I named her after his son. When he found out her name he shed a few tears and wouldn't stop thanking me every time we caught up. I then stood, pulling Josie along with me. I then felt my family wrap their arms around the two of us. We all stood there for what felt like hours, and surprisingly it might of. After holding them for a while and continuing, I looked to Raleigh. He had a soft smile on his face and I couldn't help but smile back. Over the years that we have been married, he still managed to make me feel as if we were back in the Shatterdome, in the middle of a war and falling in love all over again. Slowly we both leaned in and shared a soft kiss...what I would give to fall in love with him all over again.
