Yes it hand 56 years since (y/n) had lost her husband to the set accident and every day she took it in strides and tried not to linger to much on the sad times that he wasn't able to be there for her and the kids as she continued to raise of theirs. All who turned out to do amazing things with their lives. Liam and TJ, short for Thomas Jr, both got into acting and they known in the public, both not using their dad's name unless they were asked about him but they stayed humble and never started trouble in public like other people. Juliet became a actress too but she worked mainly on stage work in plays and live theatre well Valkyrie picked up the arts of drawing and journalism. She became a reporter and UN advocate for UNICEF UK well doing drawings and selling them in her off time for the extra money in her pocket. She was so dedicated to UNICEF like Tom was.... If any of them got Tom's looks, it was Liam.

He was a cloned copy of his father and (Y/N) couldn't be more proud as she stood by his side when he begged her to go to the public appearances. Luke took him up as a client as he had basically blown up over night with his first big movie, betraying his dad as he played Robin in a movie. He was compared to Tom's Loki in the papers. It took (Y/N) 8 years of hiding from the world before she willing followed her son onto the red carpet of his first big movie premier and she was overjoyed with the positive feedback that she was given online, even though she was well prepared for the negative feedback she would get. Liam was more than happy to take her with him and even when he married, his wife Lindsey, stayed home so Liam could take his mother out in public. She wanted to stay in the background anyways and hated the publicity that went on.

Liam hand been so nervous that first premier, he took up the rambling and walking in circles and rubbing his hands together, a habit his mother had and she was doing the same thing as him in unison as him. It was a sight to be seen! Valkyrie had walked in on her mother and brother both walking around in circles from nerves. She managed to get Luke over to see and it made him chuckle before getting the two back to earth to get ready before they could be late. That was when Liam was 20. (Y/N) was at the tender age of 40.

It was a night to remember and every event since, she was by his side till she got sick at the age of 75. She had gone to visit Tom at his grave site on the 40th anniversary of his death alone, to have a picnic with all of Tom's favourite puddings. All the memories hand popped back up of the times they had together in her head and she had ended up weeping her eyes out on the green ridden ground below her as it gently sprinkled around her. She seemed to stay dry though, at least her clothes did as she wept.

The very few years they hand together were not enough, he was gone to soon.  Now at 80, she knew it was close to her going to join him. She felt more at peace and every time she was about to fall asleep, she seen him. Tom was there waiting for her in all his glory with his childlike smile and ocean blue glowing eyes looking at her like he had never left. He entered her dreams and told her about how much he loved her, and he misses her and the children so much and he was excited to see her again after so long even though it felt like just seconds that he had died to him. He assured her he didn't feel any pain that day and he was there to comfort her at the funeral like she had felt. He promised eternity with her. She could almost feel the 12 o'clock shadow on his face as he told her this, nuzzling her cheek as he pecked her lips before going away. The same words ringing in her ears as she woke up each morning:

 'I'm here darling, when you're ready I'll be there.'

They started out as childhood friends starting with her brother who had befriended the trouble making neighbour the year (Y/N) was born. They had just moved into a new home a week before she was born and very quickly Tom and her brother had become quick friends at school, both there to complain about their new sisters who had come into their lives. Tom's sister Emma had been young too at the time so they hand bonded over them. So she and Tom grew up with one another, hating each other at first in their childhood days but once puberty hit them, oh shit, man did it hit them. They instantly become the best of friends. 32 long years before he had been taken from her, a few years before he left, her brother had gone to a over dose. Now it hand been 56 long years without him and not a single day did (Y/N) think to date or remarry. She dedicated herself to the four beautiful children Tom had gifted her.
