**Chapter Sixteen ~ The End**
~10 Years Later~
"Oh my gosh we are so late!" Katelyn sits on the couch laughing as Bob frantically runs around after the young boy.
"Tom! Get your shoes on! Stop running around!" Bob calls after the child. Calli jumps onto the couch, curling up next to Katelyn. Even in her old age, she is still the sweetest cat to exist. Katelyn runs her hand through her coat as she purrs.
"Oh my word. Finally. Right. We're finally ready." He laughs, wiping some sweat off his forehead.
"Let's go." Katelyn stands up and looks at her son. "You ready to see you auntie Phoenix, Tom?"
The young boy nods his head quickly. Katelyn laughs and kisses his forehead.
The family leaves the door and head to the Hard Deck. The place where it all started.
*~*
As soon as they walk through the door, a high pitched squeal can be heard.
"Ah, there's my favorite nephew!" Phoenix runs up to the boy and picks him up, spinning him in a circle.
"Auntie Phoenix!!" The boy calls happily.
"Hey Nat." Katelyn greets the woman with a side hug.
"It's the greatest pilot alive! Falcon!!" Katelyn doesn't have time to turn around until she's scooped into a tight hug.
"Hey Roos. How ya doing?" Katelyn chuckles.
"Amazing! Oh my god look at how big you've got!!" He says, turning to Tom.
"Rooster!!" Tom squeals as Phoenix puts him down to run to Rooster.
"Tell me. What do you want to be when you're older kiddo?" Rooster asks, kneeling to his level.
"A pilot! Like Mommy and Daddy!" The child happily says.
Katelyn sits next to Bob at the bar, joined by Phoenix. Maverick and Penny walk in and join them.
They may have been in and out of hell together but at least it ended happily.
Orpheus and Eurydice finally got the happy ending they deserve.
