dream a little dream of me

ch16: dream a little dream of me

"At some point you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy, that's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them."

It has been six months since Andy's suicidal crisis. She started seeing a therapist, dr. Lewis. Learning how to face with the loss, process her grief and cherish the good things life sent her way. Robert was there for here- every step of the way. Loving and supporting her, unconditionally.

Lucas Ripley never spoke to him again. Turns out history did repeat herself- he adopted baby Katerina and moved all the way to New York, to give himself another chance and start a new life. That is all Robert knew- what Montgomery could tell him.

Dean Miller was focused on raising his daughter. Managed to reconcile with his family and finally start living life. Andy was there for Pru and child managed to get the 'female' side of the support. Andy and Miller made a strong bond, causing their friendship to be that one for a lifetime.

Maya and Jack got married. Ended up living in the big house near the lake. They seem to be happy. Andy forgave them both but never really tried to get their friendship back. Maya just found out she is also pregnant. There will be some firehouse babies- for sure.

Pruitt was lucky enough to see his own daughter becoming a great mom. Surviving through her hardest moments. Standing up after every fall and fighting life back. He saw her grow up into a strong, independent and happy woman. 

Andy and Robert never have been happier. The Sullivan's condo wasn't anymore that quiet. Cries and giggles of a newborn changed everything. Turned their lives upside down- in a positive way.
A month ago Andy gave birth to the Surrera twins. A boy and a girl. Both healthy and happy babies- having some personality traits like their father and looks like their mother.
It wasn't difficult to choose names. They were married and comfortable around each other they basically always found an agreement.

Turns out- Andy did dream a little dream of him. Her husband. Her safest place. Her shoulder to cry on. Her best friend and her forever and always. She didn't need anything more but him and their children, small condo they used to call home- because for Andrea Herrera- Sulivan home was wherever she was with her husband. And nowadays with their newborns- Jayden Victoria Sullivan and Elijah Pruitt Sullivan.

"At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."

THE END
