Song: Home by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros

Alabama, Arkansas

I do love my ma and pa

Not that way that I do love you

Well, holy moley, me oh my

You're the apple of my eye

Girl, I've never loved one like you

Man, oh man, you're my best friend

I scream it to the nothingness

There ain't nothing that I need

"Brett, honey everyone's going to be here in ten minutes." Called out Casey as he rocked his three-month-old daughter, Elizabeth Shay Casey, to sleep.

"I know, I'm almost done getting ready. I just have to put Lizzy in her cute outfit Foster got her then I will be good to go."

"Already done," Said Casey as he entered their shared bedroom, still holding his darling little girl, and walked up to his gorgeous wife.

Brett smiled seeing both of them enter the bedroom ready and dressed for their first Thanksgiving as a family.

"You're amazing," Whispered Brett as she leaned down to kiss Lizzy's head and then Casey's lips.

Casey smiled before carefully handing Lizzy over to Brett so she could put her in her bassinet to sleep for a little while before the holiday festivities really got started.

"Can you believe we made her?" Asked Casey as he walked up to Brett at Lizzy's bassinet and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"No. She's so perfect, isn't she?"

"Yeah, she is. We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving." Commented Casey as he leaned down to kiss Brett's soft neck.

Brett nodded as tears started to gather in her beautiful eyes, "Yes, we do. She's here and she's as healthy as are we."

Brett and Casey continued to stare at their perfect little angel for the next five minutes before they heard their front door open and guest started to filter in.

Well, hot and heavy, pumpkin pie

Chocolate candy, Jesus Christ

Ain't nothing please me more than you

Ah, home, let me come home

Home is wherever I'm with you

Ah, home, let me come home

Home is wherever I'm with you

La, la, la, la, take me home

Mommy, I'm coming home

I'll follow you into the park

Through the jungle, through the dark

Girl, I never loved one like you

Everyone from firehouse fifty-one, including Gabby, was gathered around Brett and Casey's Thanksgiving table. They had so much to be thankful for this year. Everyone was there and they were all healthy. Brett found herself zoned out through most of the meal just thinking about how grateful she was. As hard as this last year had been for all of them, she wouldn't change a thing because in the end it brought them to where they were, and they were all so happy.

"I love you, Casey." Whispered Brett as she rocked her baby to sleep in bed that night.

"I love you too, Mrs. Casey." Whispered back Casey before he kissed Lizzy on the head and then Brett on the lips.

Home, let me come home

Home is wherever I'm with you

Ah, home, yes, I am home

Home is when I'm alone with you

Alabama, Arkansas

I do love my ma and pa

Moats and boats and waterfalls

Alleyways and pay phone calls

Home is when I'm alone with you

Home is when I'm alone with you

Happy Thanksgiving! See you in December!
