The airplane landed and to the Griffin's surprise, it was also raining in London. Guess the gloominess wasn't left behind in California. The Rolls Royce took them back to their townhouse and suddenly it didn't feel like coming home at all. Lauren and Octavia stayed back to help with the luggage while Clarke and Mila entered the house.

"Hello? We're home." Clarke called out and upon receiving no answer, told Mila to wait while she went to her mothers study. She saw her on her corner desk, hidden behind a magazine, as she always was.

"Hey stranger," she said and watched the magazine go down but she didn't see Abby Griffin with her winning smile.

"Hey Mom, did you know that Concorde gets you here in half the time?" Sofia Reyes asked.

"Yes...I've...I've heard that." Clarke stammered, still in shock.

Mila went into the study after convincing herself that she was delusional and homesick to have heard her twin sister's voice in place of her grandmothers.

"What're you doing here?" she asked Sofi excitedly.

"It took us around ten minutes after you guys left for us to realize that we don't want to lose you again." Sofi explained standing up.

"We?" Clarke was bewildered and she took a step toward her daughter whose gaze was somewhere else.

"We." Raven agreed stepping into the study and Clarke gasped sharply.

"I made a mistake of not coming after you once, Clarke, I'm not gonna do that again - no matter how brave you are," she said seriously.

Clarke felt her knees wobble as tears gathered in her eyes as she tried to maintain some semblance of sense into her head that was now being overridden by her heart.

"And I suppose you just expect me to go weak at the knees and fall into your arms and cry hysterically and say that we'll just figure this whole thing out - a bi-continental relationship with... our daughters being here and... and there and you and I... just picking up where we left off and growing old together and... and... c'mon Raven, what do you expect?" she looked up and was face to face with Raven. For every phrase she said, for she was stammering, Raven took a step closer to her flustered state as her smile grew with each word she uttered.

"...to live happily ever after?" Clarke blurted and Raven was now wiping away her tears with her thumbs as she cupped her face and looked into her eyes.

"Yes... to all the above; except you don't have to cry hysterically," she quipped with a mischievous grin.

"Oh yes I do..." Clarke managed to end her sentence accompanied by a nod before Raven's lips were upon her and she kissed her back with all the longing she garnered through the years. Raven held her closer and deepened the kiss as Sofi and Mila watched.

"We actually did it!" Sofi said and slid down the corner feeling giddy while Mila sighed happily and fell back into a green wing-backed chair. She snuck into the hall a few minutes later and motioned for Sofi to follow.

Sofi tore her gaze away from her mothers and also snuck into the hall, where her sister was practically jumping for joy and doing a happy dance.

"We did it! We did it!" Sofi exclaimed, jumping up and down excitedly with her sister. She didn't actually think it would work, even though it was her plan in the beginning.

"It's unbelievable." Mila beamed, pulling her sister in for an excited and congratulatory hug.

"OhmyGod, you guys are gonna love living in California.." Sofi exclaimed when she stopped jumping and pulled away from her sister.

Mila's face fell. "What do you mean.. California? You two are going to love living in London." She argued, standing her ground.

"London?!" Sofi's jaw dropped.

Fireworks lit up the night sky and aboard a beautiful cruise ship, a couple was getting married. Clarke and Raven looked lovingly at one another before saying 'I do.' Everyone cheered as the brides danced the night away.

Camila and Lauren watched from their table as Raven twirled Clarke in the middle of the dance floor. Camila nudged Lauren and pointed at her nieces who were doing the secret handshake Octavia and Sofi made while Octavia watched them in amusement.

"Everyone got their happy ending." Lauren remarked smiling.

"Oh but not all." Camila said and wiggled her eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" she asked and looked to see the younger girl on her knee holding out a black velvet box in front of her.

"My ending's not happy without you," Camila said seriously. The two were unaware that everyone had gone silent and were watching them.

"If I were to write an autobiography, you now have the pen for the final chapter. What do you say? Tragedy or comedy?" Camila asked her.

"How 'bout: 'and they lived happily ever after'?" Lauren blurted and the two kissed amidst the cheering crowd.

"Mila, you are so sappy!" Raven whispered in her ear after the congratulations and she just laughed. The party was in full swing again and everybody danced the night away.

It was really a place where dreams have no end...
