It's been weeks since the babies left the Hospital. They are growing so quickly. Two healthy bouncing baby girls. The nursery came out beautifully, and now Bridget is off bed rest so she does the most for the girls with help from their big sister, who absolutely adores them.
Andrews divorce is still being processed. Since they can't provide them with Siobhan's whereabouts it may be difficult. Andrews attorney is getting more information on what to do next.
Soon they will be rid of her because no matter what, she is facing prison time for what she did to Gemma and John Delario.
Chapter Twenty-one
It's June and Juliet has graduated from high school. She's excited because she had her family to support her. It's a shame Catherine couldn't be there but she has Andrew and Bridget who are very proud of her. She will start Columbia in the fall. She wants to live at home with family while going to school.
Juliet decides to visit her mother in jail. She has Bridget go with her. Catherine seems different. Maybe she's on medication, but she seems to be caring toward Juliet. Bridget waits just outside the visiting room because she doesn't want to upset Catherine. Bridget is only there to support Juliet.
Overall the visit was a good one. Catherine let juliet know that she was ok with Bridget adopting Juliet as long as she knows that she still loves her no matter what. Catherine knows that Bridget can be a better mother for Juliet. Something Juliet has always wished for.
When she came out of the visiting room Juliet looked indifferent.
"How did it go?" Asked Bridget
"It was kind of weird. I don't know, she said she loved me and that she was sorry for being a bad mom. I think she still hates Siobhan, but she's ok with you. You didn't break up her marriage. I'm so glad you came with me though. I didn't know what to expect." Says Juliet
"I'm here for you always." She says as she hugs Juliet.
Chapter Twenty-two
It's a nice Saturday afternoon and Bridget and Andrew decide to take the babies to stroll around central park. There has been no signs of Siobhan so they think they are safe enough as long as they are together.
"This feels so nice. Us here with our family. I love you Andrew." Says Bridget
"Oh darling I love you. You are too good to me. I've never in my life have been this happy. We have Juliette, the twins, and our son on the way.
I'm thinking about buying back the loft, but I wanted to know your thoughts first." Says Andrew
Bridget hesitates before she asks " Do you think I won't like the loft after all that's happened there? "
"Yes, that's why I wanted to speak with you about it. " Andrew says
"I understand why you'd ask, but I don't think of it as a bad place. That's where I met Gemma. She brought back the beauty of the building. The only thing we need to do is make sure that Juliet is ok with it and we'd need to baby proof the whole loft." Bridget says with her bright smile.
Since the pregnancy Bridget seems more beautiful, and her eyes shine bright because she is safe and happy.
They continue talking as they're walking. They don't notice that someone is watching them from a distance. It's a women wearing all black. She is wearing a hooded coat with dark sunglasses. It's warm out and she stands out.
They are headed towards the bridge, when Andrew finally notices her. He'd know that face anywhere. Siobhan, and she has a gun in her hand.
"You always take what's not yours Bridget, you whore!" Siobhan says.
"Siobhan!" Bridget exclaims
Andrew takes out his phone to call 911.
"You won't need to do that Andrew. I'm not here to shoot you. Either of you." Says Siobhan
"I'll never let you hurt Andrew or the babies Siobhan!" Bridget says putting herself in front of Andrew and the stroller.
"Shut up Bridget! Let me speak before it's too late for you both." She says waving the gun around.
Andrew pushes Bridget behind him with the babies. "What do you want Siobhan?" Asks Andrew
"I want to set the record straight. Now shut your mouth and let me speak, or I will start shooting!" Siobhan says.
"Andrew I want you to know that if I knew that those babies were yours I wouldn't have stayed pregnant. I told you I never wanted kids. I assume my bitch sister told you why. I never wanted to love like that again. That's why I detached myself from them after they were born. Henry found out that they were not his and because I lied about it, he left me!" Siobhan yells
"Siobhan there is no need for this, I have the babies. I will keep them. You don't have to worry. We will give them the best life possible. Just put the gun down." Andrew says with all sincerity.
"I have nothing now. Nothing!" She says angrily " Don't you see? Everything I did was for Henry. I love him, and now he stole my money and left me with nothing!"
"Bridget, promise me something please". She asks
"What is it?" Asks Bridget. Thinking maybe Siobhan has changed her mind about killing them.
Siobhan puts the gun to her own head, and before anyone can do or say anything, she says, "Bury me with Sean."
Then she pulls the trigger.
Later they find a note in Her pocket to Henry.
My dearest Henry, all the things I did bad or good were for love. I never wanted Gemma to die. That was all John Delario's doing. I just wanted her out of the way for awhile. She was supposed to come back safe. So that we can go on living the way we always wanted after Bridget was out of the picture. I so wanted her to suffer as I do. I wanted Andrew to suffer as well because if I couldn't be happy, then he shouldn't be happy either. I'm truly sorry for messing up your life. I will love you even in death.
Yours truly,
Siobhan
Chapter Twenty-three
A week later Andrew, Bridget, Juliet, Solomon and Victor are at the funeral for Siobhan Martin. Some friends showed but not many. The babies are home with a nanny.
Bridget tried to make her sisters funeral as beautiful as she could. She even made sure to bury Siobhan with the "sister" necklace. When they were girls it actually meant a lot to them.
It was really lovely. Even though Siobhan hated Bridget, Bridget still loved her sister. She can't help it.
Some people were confused when they saw Andrew holding Bridget while Siobhan's in the coffin. Close friends like Greer and her husband Jeff new the truth. I guess that's all that matters.
Henry never showed. Coward. He has since moved to Chicago. Bridget called him and told him everything. She even invited him so he can say his goodbyes.
Dylan, Sean's father came with his wife. He looked at peace. He didn't know the forgiveness really came from Bridget. Now is the time for Bridget to forgive him.
The funeral was short and sweet. They made sure to bury her with Sean. Her last wishes.
Bridget walks up to Dylan and tells him that she to, is sorry and forgives him. He smiles sadly and thanks her as he walks away.
Bridget feels like a new person. No more skeletons in her closet. A new start.
