Olivia stood outside on the porch on a cool September night. Years have passed and she's much older. She has learned many things over the years. One thing she learned was learning how to live without Everett and Ella. She watched the man she loves and her niece turn to dust. All she had left was her and Everett's son, Evan. 

She had to take care of Evan all on her own with no help. She lost contact with pretty much all her family. The only family she had left was Everett, Evan, and Ella. They were all she had left. That was until the Snap. Everett and Ella turned to dust.

When they came back, Everett was the one who Olivia saw first. A few days later, Ella came home. Once finding out what happened, it explained what happened. Olivia explained everything to them when they came back. Everett looked at his five-year-old son and saw five years he lost with his son. Five years he'll never get.

After she explained everything, she began to show all the videos and photos she took over the years of her and Evan. 

She thought back to all those years and she hadn't realized how much she changed until Everett and Ella came back. She missed them so much. 

As she thought of those years, she felt arms wrap around her. She recognized the warmth of the arms. It was Everett. She smiled and leaned her head against his chest. She found comfort in his arms.

"It'll be okay," Everett assured his wife. "We'll be okay. Everything.... everything will be okay. We're back. It's not going to be the same, but we'll be fine. We're back together. You don't have to worry about taking care of Evan on your own. I'm here."

"I know," Olivia said. "I'm glad that you and Ella are back."

Everett kissed Olivia on the side of her head and continued to hold her.

"How about we go out on a dinner date this Saturday?" Everett asked. "We haven't been able to go out on a date since Ella and I came back. And you deserve a break from taking care of a kid. You've been doing it everyday without a day off since he was born."

"Who'll babysit Evan?" Olivia asked.

"There's Dylan," Everett said. "He can babysit."

"I'll call him and see if he's willing to babysit," Olivia said.

"Alright."

"Mommy! Dad!" Evan called.

Everett and Olivia jumped at their son's voice. Everett and Olivia quickly turned around and saw Evan come running to them.

"What is it, Evan?" Everett asked. He picked up Evan when he got to them.

"I want dinner," he requested. "Can I have chicken nuggets?" 

"We don't have some at home," Olivia said. "I think we might have to go to McDonald's or something for dinner."

"Yeah, we should do that," Everett agreed.

"We're getting McDonald's?" Evan asked, excitedly.

"Yes, we are," Olivia confirmed. "Everett, go get Evan's hoodie. It's a little chilly."

"Alright," he said, putting Evan down. 

Everett quickly went to get Evan's hoodie while Olivia got the car ready. Everett came back before Olivia placed Evan in his car seat.

"Here you go, buddy," Everett said, putting the hoodie around Evan to wear. He put his arms through the sleeves. 

The family got into the car and drove off to eat dinner.
