My Life as Mrs. Crosby

Epilogue

I really hate to say this, but this is the last chapter, hence "Epilogue". Thank you for all your support, I really appreciate it! I just can't seem to get this story to go anywhere and well, it's been two years. Gotta let go sometime, right?

Well, I hope you all enjoy this. If you're looking for a Sid fill, check out Scarred :)

I was trying not to cry as my little girl walked across the stage to receive her diploma. Charlie got a scholarship to Stanford, she would be leaving in August.

I looked up at Sidney, who was just as teary eyed as me. Raider was home in Canada for the summer. He spent the school year in Minnesota, every bit of a stud as his father. You would think that he would be used to it. Knowing that kids leave home so that they could play hockey or follow their dreams, that's what he did.

We found her after the ceremony with her boyfriend's family. Sid still didn't like him, but he probably thought no one was good enough for Charlie. He was a sweet kid, played hockey and pretty much idolized Sidney. It was kind of funny actually.

"I'm so proud of you, Charlotte." I wrapped her in a hug, trying not to cry. It was going to happen. I knew it was. My baby girl was moving across the country, well continent, and neither of us were ready to see her go.

Later that night, Charlie went to the all night party and Raider was off with friends and old teammates so me and Sidney were all alone.

"The house is actually kind of quiet for once. I could definitely get used to this."

"You know you're going to be in tears because both of your children are in the United States."

"Charlie is going to be in California and probably find herself a blond surfer guy, kind of like the one she used to love so much."

"She has a boyfriend."

"Oh sweetie. I had a boyfriend the first month of college too. Then I broke it off."

"And I damn sure you did." He rolled over to kiss me, tickling my sides at the same time.

It wasn't exactly the easiest road here, and it would never be as smooth as we would like, but I wouldn't change my life as Mrs. Crosby for the world.
