Even In A Hurricane (A Boston Bruins Story)

Epilogue

~ Epilogue ~

*** 16 years later *** Scarlett's P.O.V ***

I was watching TV as there was a rapid knock on the door. This movie was finally getting to the climax so I called for Jacob my, now, 19 year old son, "Cubby! Can you get that?"

From upstairs he yelled back, "Sorry Ma! I'm doing my homework!"

"Damn college kids," I mumbled under my breath as I got up from the couch and made my way to the door where the person on the other side was still knocking. I slowly unlocked it and pulled the door opened. Joey, Jen and Tuukka's 13 year old son was standing there looking like he was in a lot of distress. "Joey! What's wrong? Are you ok?"

"I-I... He's... He's not m-my," Tears were running down his face as he brought his hands up to his hair.

I put my hands on his shoulder and brought him in the house saying, "to the kitchen." I shut the door and followed him. When I entered the kitchen Joey was just sitting at the island with his head in his hands and his elbows on the garnet counter. I sat down next to him and put my hand on his back running it up and down trying to calm him down.

Once he was calmed down enough I looked at him and he looked back at me with his hazelish eyes, "Now what's wrong?"

"W-Well mom and Diana were out shopping and Marc was out with friends... I was home alone and found a paper deep in my closet as I was cleaning it. A-And... U-Uncle T-Torey donated sperm... and th-that's how I was born... I-I Tuukka... Isn't my dad! How could th-they lie to me all these years..."

I took a deep breath and looked away from him and then back at him before saying, "Wow. Alright... Take a few breaths and listen to what I have to say."

He nodded and stayed silent.

"Alright... Your mother always had the picture of the perfect family two boys, a girl, and a loving husband. About a year before you were born your fathe-," I was cut off.

"Tuukka," He interrupted.

"Ok... Tuukka was found out that he was unable to conceive again. Your mom was crushed. Torey being the good guy that he was stood up and offered to make her dreams of 'The perfect Family' to come true. Trust me Joey, everyone was surprised when she and Tuukka agreed on it. It took all of us by storm."

"I-Is Jacob up sta-," My phone started ringing, interrupting him.

"Hello," I asked into the phone.

"Oh god! Hey Scar! I'm so glad to hear from you! Is Joey there? Diana and I came home to his room a mess... and he wasn't here," She started, "please tell me he's there! You're the last person left to call!"

I gave Joey a look, telling him it was his mom, "Yeah. He's here... You can come pick him up in a bit... But ONLY you and no one else should come... We all have to talk about something... Very important!"

"A-Alright... Is he ok though," She asked taking a deep breath.

"Yeah he's ok. I'll see you when you get here ok?"

"Alright... Thanks Scar," The line went dead.

"She's really worried about you Joey..."

He looked over and me and lunged on to me giving me a tight hug, "I love you Aunt Scar!!! I really appreciate you being here for me."

*** Later that Night ***

"Scarlett! I'm home," Carl's voice filled the house as he came in the house.

"Hey babe," I called from the couch where I was currently sitting watching Miracle.

Carl slid off his dress shoes and made his way over to the couch to sit next to me. The seat cushion sunk in causing me to slide into Carl's side. I put my head on his chest, taking in his scent as he put his arm around my shoulder.

"I love you."

"Love you too darling."

Both of us were completely silent... Just keeping our eyes on Miracle.

"How was your time with Jacob," Carl asked as he kept his beautiful blue eyes on the TV.

"You mean the Studying obsessed college student," I asked looking up at him with a little smirk showing on my face.

"Oh... Yeah... Forgot about that! Where is he now," He asked as he pulled me into him harder.

"Finally out with friends! I think he went with that girl Lily from his college," I informed as I attempted to snuggle further into him.

"You think he'll be a while," He asked looking down at me with a serious look on his face.

"Yeah... Probably... Wanna go upstairs," I asked as I hopped up and grabbed his hand, pulling him up with me.

"Let's go!" He turned off the TV leaving the whole house pitch black. And that left us to our business.
