yours, mine, ours (William Beardsley)

Stay...

(Will)

"Yay! Yay!" They all cheered and I crouched down to them "Kelly! Some of you guys should stay here and wait for mom." I say and she nods happily I couldn't help but smile with pride as my family stood ready to help.

"Got it." She says making me smile at her and wink before I stand and look to the older kids they all had smiles and were ready to hear the instructions

"All right, as for the rest of us... let's do this." I say starting to walk, they all cheer and start walking towards the bus. I grab Danny's hand and stop her. "Danny... I-" she cuts me off and kisses my cheek her smile just made mine worse I didn't think that was possible.

"After" she says and I nod to her with a 'you're right' look as we rush towards the small school bus. "Can you take us to the U.S coast guard We're trying to stop dad!" Pheobe says leaning over the seat to the bus driver who was very confused, the bus driver smiled. "Hop in" he says and we rush into the bus as he shuts the door and peels out of the driveway.

The ride seemed to take forever, and I couldn't hold it in, she sat in front of me with laughter and excitement surrounding her, I haven't seen it since our first night. I really messed up. I hope I can fix all my wrongs.
As I stared at her she seemed to notice and make eye contact with me, her eyes were soft like she didn't have a stress in the world much less negative thoughts about me, I couldn't help but look.

We Boarded the family Boat and i shouted instructions as quickly and clearly as possible and everyone fell into suit and worked together, it for once felt great to order around a crew and i understood dad in a way as i got a thrill from the sail. We moved quickly and smoothly through the water as it was a bit choppy, but they held their own.

"Christina watch for dad" i say as we came closer to the place he should be at least if we were on time, otherwise we'd only make it so far before we lose him but in that case time was not on our side. As she nods and watches the horizon i took this moment to Glance at Danny who was working on keeping Ropes secured and Dylan in check.

"Will there it is" Christina chimes in knocking me out of my Daze.

"Prepare to come along side!" I shout and instantly they get to work to move faster to catch up and come in along side. "Drop the sail." I say and Dylan Starts dropping the sail.

"Yes, sir, captain" he says. We come closer to see dad making his way to the Boat Deck where he stood abd waited.

"Secure those lines" i say as i see the Boat coming closer and not moving much anymore "Securing lines." One of them say, as the boats come to a stop we faced dad ready to spill everything as he looked at us utterly confused.

"What are you doing here?" He asks and with a sigh the confessions came.

"Stopping you! Dad, we have a confession. We were behind everything, all the fights. We tried to break you and mom up... so we could go back to the way things were. We made a huge mistake. And we realize that we should all be a family." I say and although i couldn't tell how he felt about our mess up he seemed to take it to heart which raised my hopes.

"Come on, dad! Come on home. - We need to be together! - Come on, dad, let's go home! - We need you." We shouted but just as all hope was out in front of us he looked down.

"I'm sorry, guys. It's already too late. Your mom is really..." As he said it he trailed off as he looked up past us towards the mainland, we all turned our heads and saw the beautiful light of our lighthouse flashing from the shore. I look towards Danny who was just as in awe of the moment.

She looked at me before smiling with a small laugh, as i do it back she then purses her lips and starts walking towards me before wrapping and arm around my waist and resting her head on my shoulder looking towards the shore. I look behind us to see dad rushing off to god knows where before coming back.

"Let's go home guys" he says and we all start to cheer...

(Back at the house- Danny's P.O.V)

We all leave the bus now racing towards the family that came to greet us. "Danny" i hear and i turn to see William smiling at me from somewhat of a distance away, i stood still. I was truly happy to see him in a different light after the confessions and the boat that i almost forgot about all that happened, almost. He came slowly towards me making my anxiety levels rise with each step and he stopped. "I'm sorry, for everything. I was so angry and i missed out on what i had... So if you'll have me. Could i possibly mess up again?" He says, my smile grew from ear to ear and i rolled my eyes before grabbing his shirt and kissing him.

"Come on guys You know what we need?" Frank says loudly and Helen smiles at him. "What?" She says "Group hug!" He says and everyone joins in as we all hug it out in the muddy back yard of our house.

"Hi, you've reached frank. - Helen. - Harry. - Jimi. - Marisa. - Bina. - Naoko. - Michael. - Aldo. - Dylan. - Joni. - Phoebe. - William. - Otter. - Ely. - Christina. - Ethan. - Mick. - Lau. - Kelly. - Leave your message at the beep. - Yeah!" As you can tell things went well, the twins finally built their garden with the help from the boys of course. Frank and Helen got married, the right way this time with family included and honestly it was beautiful and as for me and William well he went off to college and we keep in touch as we go to colleges near each other. But still going strong

I guess you can say after all we finally became a family
