Hours turned into days of frivolous travel for the 3, john was especially tired considering he carried jack most of the way. They eventually made their way to their new home. Arthur looked over his new large plot of land and a wave of serenity washed over his previous wave of guilt, Marston stopped in awe of the farm they finally made it.
"Arthur this-this is great, you have a beautiful peace of land here." John said.
"Its ours marston. This is our "tahiti"." Arthur said removing his hat.
"I wish Abigail was here to see this." John said lowering his head a little.
"Me too, Her and mary would catch on quick to each other." Arthur said.
"Yeah we'd be in big trouble with those two against us." John said jokingly with the stinging feeling he'd never see his beloved again.
"Yeah." Arthur said, he'd miss Abigail in his own way too.
"Well aren't you gonna go see mary? Me and the boy will take a walk around the place and meet you back at the house. Come on jack let's go see what we can find." John said
"Ok papa. Bye uncle arthur!" Jack said running along with his estranged father.
"Bye lil' jack." Arthur said, the small boy made him slightly excited to have another shot at being a father.
Arthur slowly started to walk towards the big house but those slow steps turned into a jog which then evolved into full blow running, he slowly crept into the house and made his way to the kitchen where Mary was washing dishes and he stood at the door way staring barely containing his emotions.
"Hey." He said.
Mary dropped the dish she was polishing and slowly turned around "A-Arthur?!".
"Its me mary. I'm home." Arthur said barely containing his tears.
Mary paused for a moment then jump into his arms hugging the outlaw and not letting go.
"Oh Arthur, is it over?" She asked still squeezing the man tight.
"Yeah its over." Arthur said squeezing her just as tightly back.
Mary stopped hugging him and he examined her rather large out stomach.
"Your getting big." He caressed her pregnant belly.
"Yeah the doctor said we are having a daughter." Mary said gleefully.
"Huh our little girl huh?" Arthur said.
"So this is our new home. It cost every cent we had but it's all ours." Mary said.
"Its beautiful, I knew you'd pick us a mighty fine home. Say would you mind if a friend of mine stays with us he's a single father and he's family too me. It's been years since you two meet, his name is marston." Arthur said.
"Well as long as he doesn't get into trouble I'm sure I could put him to work around here." Mary said.
"Great. Now I gotta take care of this business real quick, been meaning to do it for ages but the time wasn't right." Arthur said getting on one knee.
"Mary Gillis will you marry me?" Arthur said pulling out a ring.
"Oh Arthur of course I will, I've waited some many years to hear that." Mary said as arthur slid the ring on her finger.
"That's my girl!" Arthur said jumping up and hugging her.
Not soon after john and jack walked in.
"This is john marston and his son jack." Arthur said.
"Nice to meet you miss?" John said.
"Mrs. Mary Morgan." Mary said rubbing her wedding ring.
"Oh I'm happy for you two. Say hi to aunt mary jack." John said.
"Hi auntie mary." Jack said being a shy.
"Well aren't you cute." Mary said trying to squat down to him.
Jack giggled.
"Listen mary we are all worn out, we walked all the way from van horn." Arthur said removing his hat and sitting on his new but quite comfortable couch.
"Oh my Arthur that's such a long way, before you guys go to bed I'll whip up a stew. Mr. Marston please have a seat." Mary exclaimed the ran off to the kitchen.
"Thank you miss." John said plopping down next to arthur.
"So arthur what's your plan?" John said.
"Well we get old and fat, live off the land." Arthur said, he was leaning back in his chair with his hands behind his head and with his head leaned back and eyes shut.
"Well that sounds fine and all but it ain't gonna be easy without money." John said ripping one of his boots off.
"Yeah well maybe I can get a job." Arthur said.
"Arthur morgan and a job? Never thought in all these years I'd hear those two words in a sentence." John said and let a laugh.
"Well what did you have in mind Marston? We gonna hold up stages and rob the bank in black water?" Arthur said.
"No I thought we was going straight now?" John said.
"Ah I'm just kiddin' but really whadda have in mind?" Arthur said.
"Well I was thinking we could start a farm, I always wanted to run my own farm." John said.
"That's not a bad idea, see I knew you had some sense." Arthur said.
"I try my best." John said.
