Hope was finally going to college in California and she hugged her dads. "I'll miss you, dad and papa." "We'll miss you too." they hugged and Hope drove off to California. "She grew up so fast."
"Yes, she did, Tian." Sebastian coughed a little bit. "Tian?" "I'm fine Chris." "Are you sure?" "Yes, it's just a cough, honey." "You know how much I worry about you." "I know" Chris." Sebastian kissed his husband.


A few days later;
Chris was making coffee, and he didn't hear Sebastian for a while and he went to check on Sebastian. Chris found Sebastian passed out on the ground and he picked up Sebastian and drove him to the hospital. Chris was waiting for a long time and Sebastian's family came and Chris finally broke and Georgeta hugged him. "I really hope that he's okay." Chris's family also hugged him, because they knew how much he loved Sebastian. "Mr. Evans?" "yes?" "I believe that your husband has pneumonia and we believe that his body may not be able to fight the pneumonia virus." "What are you saying?" "I'm saying that Your husband may not have much time left to live, I'm sorry." Chris sat next to Sebastian. "I've lived a good and full life, we got married, adopted a daughter, and I'm happy that I got to spend my life with you and our daughter." "Seb." "Chris, it'll be okay, I promise, and I hope to see you again, honey." "No, seb please don't leave me." "Chris, I promise that I will always be here." "I'll miss you Tian." "I will miss you too." Sebastian later passed away and Chris kissed Sebastian's forehead and he broke the news to Hope. Chris soon planned the funeral and Frank hugged his friend and colleague and Scarlett hugged him and there were two days before the funeral.

Two days later;
It was the day they were going to see Sebastian one last time and bury him. Chris greeted everyone even Sebastian's family, and Sebastian's biological father showed up. "What are you doing here Harold?" "I'm here for my son's funeral." "You never cared for him, and why do you care now?" "Harold please leave us all to grieve for Sebastian." "Okay." the service started and then everyone said what they wanted to say about the kind man. Everyone watched as he was buried and Chris placed a rose over his casket and Chris held Sebastian's wedding band. He wore it around his neck as a memory. "I miss you, Seb." "Dad, he will always be here, no matter what." "Thank you, Hope." "I miss him too, but we have to continue our lives and he doesn't want us to be sad, he would want us to kick life's ass and do what we love before we pass on." "You're right, and I know that Sebastian is proud of you." Chris watched his daughter grow up, and she was engaged to her high school boyfriend, and it was her wedding day and he saw her. "Hey, Dad." "Oh look at you, you are very beautiful and uh your biological family is here." "Mom, Dad!" "Look at you, and your wearing mom's wedding dress." "Yeah, she sent to Dad and told him to hang on to it until it was time." "Well, we can not forget the necklace. It was time for the ceremony and Chris was in his late forties and he walked her down the aisle to her husband and she hugged him and she stood in front of the love of her life. The two then shared a kiss and everyone cheered and they got ready for the after party.

Three years later:
Hope checked the pregnancy test, and it was positive. "Daniel, I'm pregnant!" "What, no way that's exciting, oh my god!" He hugged his wife "we need to tell your dad." Chris heard about the news and he hugged her "I'm going to have a grandchild?" "Yes, you are, dad." "I'm so happy for you sweetheart."

Two years later:
Hope was woken up by her phone ringing and she answered "Hello?" "Hi, is this Hope Smith?" "Yes, this is she." "I'm sorry to inform you this late at but, your dad has passed away this morning at 3:30 a.m." "What?" "He fell asleep and never woke up and I'm so sorry for your loss." She hung up and she was trying to understand that Chris passed away and she was the first person to get the call and she was heartbroken. "Hope?" Daniel heard her crying in the bathroom. "Y-Yeah?" "Hey, What's the matter?" "Dad passed away this morning." "What time?" "3:30 a.m." "I'm so sorry." She cried in her husband's chest.

A week later:
It was the funeral and She stood at the end of the dock of her dad's lake house. "Honey, uhm they are getting ready to have a BBQ." "Sorry." "Hey, he'll be there no matter what, and he reunited with his family members and your other dad." "Okay." they went home and Hope put her daughter to bed and she went to bed as well.

Three years later:
Hope was holding her three-year-old daughter and she was waiting for Daniel to come home and her phone rang "Hello?" "Hi, am I speaking with Hope Smith?" "Yes" "Your husband was in a car accident and I'm sorry to say this, but he didn't survive." "No." Hope couldn't do anything about the loss of her husband. Hope couldn't work because who was going to watch her daughter. She soon put her daughter in foster care until she got back on her feet. Ashley barely knew her mother at the time she was put in the foster home.

Ashley went to school in Los Angeles, CA and she had a permanent home. And she was the only white kid in the school, and she could fight because she learned how to fight. Ash was a tough girl who no one wanted to mess with and she grew up to be a lawyer and she was the best lawyer the town has ever seen.
