ABRA- “And this was the bridge we crossed over to get to where the temple ruins were.”

AVA- “Good Lordy be, son. That looks too scary for me!  But the views are better than any movie set I’ve ever been on..”

ABRA- “You said you wanted to see the plane, are you sure?”

AVA- “Yes, I am sure, now that my baby is at peace....Oh dear, that is so sad...”

ABRA- “I’m sorry Gran...”

AVA- Those stairs really take it out of me.  I have wanted your grandfather to put in one of those chair rides for the stairs, but he said no, it was good exercise for me!  I think I will just move my room out in the guest house, that will fix him.  Okay here you go, this room will be yours as long as you want it, and when you are home from school. Your great uncle Griffin had this room last. So I had it painted for you.”

ABRA- “IN RED!!  My favorite color!  How did you know...oh yeah I forgot all my family are witches...”

AVA- “Not me honey, it skipped my generation.  No gifts of magic here. And Thank Goodness, I don’t think I could have handled all that in my life!!”

ABRA- “I don’t think I want anymore in mine either...”

AVA- “It’s a gift, but a very powerful one that is for sure. Just as long as you use it for the good. Your mother was special in that way.  She was a true white witch, one of the best of any generation.”

ABRA- “I wish I could have known her. I know I would probably feel different about the gifts I have if I had that opportunity.”

AVA- “Oh sweetie, she is still here, she lives in you.  Just listen for her.  She will guide you.  Well you make yourself at home here, move in whatever you want to make it yours.  Just no smoking in the house...if you do that, and that’s about the only rule I have.”

BACK IN WILLOW CREEK

AVA- “But what if he isn’t dead, what if some jungle dweller stole him, some kind of wild jungle family....like Tarzan...maybe chimps took him off.....??!!’

LENNON- “Ava, please. we can not do this. They are gone.  All of them are gone.”

AVA- “I can’t beleive this.  It just can’t be!!  Thymian was just so young, her life was just beginning....and to be taken from us so soon, and that sweet sweet baby boy...”

AVA- “So how much longer before I am a great grandmother, Nico?”

NICO- “Well, this pregnancy sure has flown by that is for sure.  She is due any day, now.”

AVA- “So hard to believe that my son is going to be a grandfather!!

NICO- You’re telling me!!”

AVA- “So they are still not telling anyone if its a boy or girl?”

NICO- “No, they don’t even know, they want it to be surprise. But I do know that if it is a girl, she will be Ava Rose....

AVA- “Ahhhh, Ava Rose, how beautiful. And is it’s a boy?”

NICO- “Abraham Nicholas. I know my name is not Nicholas, but Abraham Nico just doesn’t sound the same.

Spencer comes into the room....

LENNON- “So Ava, what have you all been up too, and all the other kids and grandkids!?”

AVA- “Well,  I am not sure you knew, but Louis married your brother Lachlan’s ex-wife. Rachel. Quite funny as they went to that dance together in High School, where she met Lachlan, and got pregnant that night with Lachlan’s baby, Jamison...and now they are married.  It was horrible about your brother though, so sad...”

LENNON- “Yes, we were all shocked and even more shocked to find out that he had a son by Lucia Bautista!”

AVA- “Yes, we heard about that...anyway, Sarah and her husband still live in San Myshuno, they have three boys now. The oldest just turned 18.  Griffin lives in France with his husband Rousseau, they have a daughter, Emma.”

LENNON- “And I heard you came out of retirement?”

AVA- “Yes... I am doing a TV Show now...a sitcom. Called “Sims Wives”, it is about these group of men that decide instead of having real wives, they create computer simulated wives, that accidentally become human...it’s quite funny.”

LENNON- “Sounds like it!!”

SPENCER- “Maybe I should have had a computer simulated wife...”

They all sat and visited for sometime.  Sharing what had transpired over the last few days, and the last eleven years.

THYMIAN- “So where is Devin, away at school?”

SPENCER- “Actually he is on break, and he just happened to....

DEVIN- “Ty!?”

AVA- “Nico this is wonderful!! So glad you are back..This is almost as good as the day you came back home, all those years ago! Hopefully for good this time!”

NICO- “Yes, mother, for good. We are not leaving Willow Creek again, as long as I can help it!”

LENNON- “We bought the old Bachelor house, it was pretty run-down, but Abraham had contractors work overtime to get it move in ready for us.  You need to come over and see it, it is really nice. Looks like it did years ago, at least on the outside.”

SPENCER- “You took my suggestion...just a few years late, but I am glad.  That home is a landmark in this town.  Glad to know it now is restored and has life in it again!”

LENNON- “Yes, and Thymian has requested that we renovate the old Goth Manor lot into a park and memorial for her mother and grandfather, and the Willow Creek coven.”
