*****All warnings apply

When I woke it was to Sav kissing me feverishly. Which means all over. I opened my eyes and he leaned on his hand looking at me. "Is it true yer pregnant again?"

"Is is true you told Joe to take a flying leap and you quit the band?"

"Ahe. Getting tired of his attitude lately. His wife keeps saying nasty things about you and Bell and he just walks away from her. She told me to shut my ugly trap up." I raised my head a bit to him. I put my hand on his face and brushed the side of it. He still had fairly short hair.

"Yer not ugly. Oi'm glad yer here. Oi could use the help in getting me mum to Dublin. By the way why are you here?"

"Because of this." He laid me back down kissing me deeply as his hand went up my leg and moved my panties to the side.

"Sav Bells right..." I turned my head and she was gone. "Where's Bell?"

"Right outside playing in the snow. Been out there all morning. Didn't have the heart to wake you just yet. Joe is walking away from you. Give me a chance to shower you in love. We could say the baby's mine. No one would know the differences." I stopped his hand before he could do anything more.

"Sav don't. Yer married and dats the last thing Oi want is to get involved with another married man."

"But I'm not Joe and I'm not with her. She left me remember. He doesn't love you the way I do."

"He does he just..."

"Will stop making excess for him. I love you." I moved his hand and kissed him on the forehead. I got up.

"Oi'm sorry. Oi just think too much of you as a brother." He laid there as I looked out the window. I don't think either one of us seen snow. I sighed and looked at Sav. He was sitting up. "Uh Richard."

"Don't ok. I'll help you. Let's just go." I called Bell after we got dressed and we left. When we got to Dublin, Bryan, Sav's mum, Rick's mum, Butch, and Rick all greeted us when we came off the plane.

Rick hugged me tight. "I'm sorry." Everyone helped carry the coffin to this buggy that was waiting outside for us. Her body got there ahead of us. We laid flowers around it.

Isabel and I both were in black dresses. It was the one black dress Bono gave me. Bono came up to me after he laid an Irish flag over the coffin. He hugged me and put a wreath of flowers on my head. He kissed my check.

An Irish band came out with bag pipes, drums and all that lot. We walked behind the carriage and down the streets of Dublin out of the airport. It was a big traditional Irish funeral. Everyone came out as we past they threw flowers or whatever.

Rick was next to me as we walked with Isabel. Sav and everyone else was behind us. As we were walking I seen Joe. He bowed and walked next to me on the other side. So he would now be by me and Isabel would be next to him holding his hand.

Rick went to say something but I squeezed his hand. We got to the cemetery. Joe stood by me as I stood in front of everyone. "Thank you. My mum wanted to be buried here by me da. Sometimes in life we get so wrapped up we forget our loved ones. Oi never had a chance to say anything to either of me auld pair's and as Garth Brooks once said basically to tell the person you love or show them how much you love them each and every day because tomorrow may never come. Or something like dat."

Some people laughed a little and I looked at Joe. He smiled at me. "So losing me da, one would think, Oi would think, Oi would of called me mum but Oi didn't. Oi got so wrapped up in a nasty relationship. Was forced to ignore everyone even me own family but some of me family were stubborn arses and Oi owe them me life for bailing me out of dat situation. While Oi was in Scotland Oi went to make a mends with me mum and to get some rest from things dat were a bit stressful. Anyway Oi found a letter me mum wrote saying dat it's never too late to say sorry for yer mistakes and to forgive."

I took a deep breath. "When me da died Oi couldn't be there. Oi went into premature labor with me daughter Isabel the day he got sick. So I couldn't be there. Now me mum Oi could of been there but Oi guess Oi arrived too late. My parents were very loving, supportive and me mum ask dat the father of Isabel marry me to set things right."

I looked at Joe and so did half of everyone there. "But what me mum doesn't know is dat some alien Rock star got me knocked up and flew back to his home planted to be king and to surround himself with woman." Everyone laughed and Joe covered his face a little. "Sorry Isy your da really is an alien king." They laughed again. "Ok. Me mum's real last request was dat Joe sing at her funeral. So Joe would you please do the honor."

I looked at him and his face was a little red still. We smiled and hugged tightly as everyone clapped. "Thank you Elizabeth. Kyra Catherin O'Mallery her's yer song." He sang this lovely Irish tune. I can't really remember what it was but it was nice and he sounded good as always.

Then as Bono and someone else folded the Irish flag Joe and I both started to sing this song that was in Highlander endgame:
