Let's Hear It For America's Suitehearts

Epilogue

3RD POV

Its been four years now since the Suitehearts, as well as Brendon and Ryan, have arrived back home.

Brendon and Ryan have since adopted a two year old girl named Tiffany, who has dark brown, almost black, wavy hair cascading down her back and bright blue eyes.

Sandman and Benzedrine had been married for three years now, getting married on October 31st of the year after Sandman proposed.

Donnie and Horseshoe had finally gotten together and have been dating now for three years. Everyone has a suspicion that Donnie will end up proposing soon.

The friends were all huddled in a booth at the small diner downtown, Benz and Sandman sitting one one side of the table, Donnie and Horseshoe on the other, and Brendon, Ryan, and Tiffany on the end.

"So, how are you guys doing in the process of adoption?" Ryan smiled at Sandman and Benzedrine.

"Well," Benz looked over to Sandman with a large smile. His eyes seemed to sparkle as if asking 'should we tell them?'. Sandman nodded with glints of love and happiness in his golden, almost yellow, eyes.

"Well, we already found the child we're adopting." Benzedrine smiled to the others as their jaws dropped and eyes widened. Horseshoe may have actually choked on his water a bit. "And were also going to pick her up right after this, if you would like to come along?"

"Of course we're coming!" Ryan and Brendon shouted at the same time, startling Tiffany as she began to cry. Ryan reached over and picked her up to calm her down.

The hot food came out on white glass plates and was set in front of each person. They were obviously all excited as each quickly ate their food and paid.

All six boys, and one girl, exited the diner and started down the road. "So, what all do you know about her?" Donnie asked, repositioning Brendon's black and red top hat, as it had begun to fall off.

"Well," Sandman started. "Her name is Winona, Winnie for short, she's a year old, and from what we were told, she looks quite similar to both of us, which is a pleasant surprise."

"That's great! How much longer till we're there? I can't wait to meet her." Horseshoe smiled while he took Tiffany from Ryan and carried her on his right hip.

"Well, we're actually here, Horse." Benzedrine chuckled. Everyone's eyes grew as a wide smile crossed their faces.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Ry jumped and began rushing to the doors, Benz and Sandman hot on his trail with Brendon, Donnie, and Horseshoe coming up on the back end.

Ryan stepped away to let Benzedrine and Sandman step up to the receptionist.

"Hello, ma'am, so we're here to pick up our daughter? Winona?" Sandman spoke calmly, trying not to let his inner excitement show.

"Ah, yes, the new daughter of the Doctor and the Sandman?" The lady, who's name tag read 'Nicole R.', spoke kindly.

"That'd be her!" Benzedrine smiled widely. Nicole stood and began walking, her long dirty blonde, almost brown, hair flowing behind her.

"Come with me, please." Benz and Sandman looked at each other, both with large smiles on their faces.

"We'll just stay out here, you two go on in." Donnie smiled and dismissed them with a wave of his hand.

Benzedrine took Sandman's gloved hand and held it close. "Let's go get our baby girl." He smiled softly and took a step forward. 

A brightly lit room awaited them and as they stepped in, their eyes took a moment to readjust.

What was in front of them was a baby girl with light, strawberry blonde hair and hazel eyes. Her face was slightly chubby and her cheeks had a rosy tint to them, making her look even more innocent than she already was. It was their baby, Winona.

"Winnie, hun, I want you to come meet some people, alright?" Nicole got down on one knee and Winona slowly tried to walk, which was more of a stumble then crawl, to Nicole.

Watching the entire scene play out, the two soon to be parents had tears welling in their eyes. Sandman hadn't even noticed his shadows had followed him and were sneaking up on the little girl.

Benzedrine had noticed them at the last second and he stood frozen for a second before he saw the dark shadows being extremely gentle with the little one. She smiled at them and babbled happily. Even Sandman stood in shock seeing at how his normally reckless and annoying shadows had suddenly become caring and gentle.

"Can, can we hold her?" Benzedrine choked out, trying not to cry. Nicole smiled and nodded.

Benz slowly walked to her and got down onto his knee. "Winonia, sweetie, can you come here?"

She looked up with gorgeous hazel eyes that shone as bright as the morning light. A small smile crossed her face as she crawled to Benzedrine, sitting down in front of him.

He slowly reached out and picked her up, Sandman standing right next to them and watching excitedly. Winona yawned slightly and began tracing the intricate design on Benzedrine's yellow coat.

"Winona?" Sandman moved to stand where he was facing the young child.

"Dada..?" Winona mumbled. Both parents froze. She already recognized the two, or Sandman at least, as her parents. Tears fell freely from the couple's eyes.

Nicole smiled before walking off and returning with some papers. "Alright, so since you've already signed most papers, this won't take long." She gave Benz a pen and he signed everywhere he had to before handing the pen to Sandman and him doing the same.

"Great, that's all I needed! Remember what you were told before adopting and more. Hate to see this sweet girl go, but I know she'll be amazing for you two. Bye bye now!" Nicole smiled widely, her white teeth shining in perfect contrast from her bright red lipstick and black dress.

Sandman took Benzedrine's hand, squeezing it before opening the door to see their friends waiting with large smiles.

"Everybody," Benz started. Heads shot up at the voice and eyes softened at the sight of the tired child laying on Benzedrine's shoulder. 

"Meet Winona Marei Wentz."
