EPILOGUE

NEWT & ADELE

Newt took Adele back to Moonlight Falls to the little house he purchased with the money he earned from his job as a firemen.

The couple settled into a quiet life in Hidden Springs getting to know each other. Adele loved cooking for Newt. He came home extra hungry most days from all of the physical exertion required to handle the fire equipment. Adele didn't mind - she reaped the benefits of a hunky husband.



In the evenings they would sit on the porch and relax.

And it sometimes led to other forms of relaxation.

By the end of their second year in Moonlight Falls, Adele had an announcement. She was pregnant. Whenever Newt was home, he doted on her. Constantly feeling her stomach and making sure was comfortable. He missed this with Delia. He would make sure she knew he was there for her.

NIALL & DEE 

Niall and Dee were happier than ever. The dark cloud that had been their constant companion for more than 200 years had been lifted. I addition, they had the new Fae leader in training living with them. Stone Shinn. Once Stone graduated he went to live with them so Dee and Niall could teach him how to use his powers. They also had him enlist in the Military. That would be the best way to learn the discipline needed to lead the Fae in Moonlight Falls.

Dee and Niall converted the two upstairs bedrooms into one big one for Stone. He spent his time researching alchemy and studying when he wasn't working or visiting with his parents.

DELIA & CORDELL

Delia and Cordell sold their home in Lucky Palms and moved to Moonlight Falls to be close to her parents and grandparents. Also because Stone would be able to be near other Fairies and would learn to use his magic. They didn't realize at the time that he would be slated to be the next leader in succession after her Grandfather. 

They added a room over the garage to house the alchemy paraphernalia - including the philosophers stone. 

A wine cellar was built under the garage - with no hidden passageway this time. 

Cordell helped Delia build a memorial garden behind the house underneath the trees in the corner and took the remains of her past husbands and her daughter Victoria and buried them. Hopefully their souls will now rest in peace. 

Delia can still be found playing Vladimir's red piano.

Cordell didn't begrudge her that. She knows she loved him and feels responsible for his death and it makes her happy to play. He never heard Vladimir play but he would bet she was now better than he ever was.

Delia's playing tended to made everyone happy including moody 13 going on 16 Mira.

Mira still had her father wrapped around her little finger. Probably because she looked exactly like her mother. "It's okay with me if it's okay with your mother."

Cordell knew she always got to him. He couldn't say no. But she was his baby after all and the only child still left at home. Maybe they would have to work on that!

"Daddy said it was okay."  Not this time Mira. Next time.

EXTRA:

I was shocked at how much Delia and Cordell's last two children looked like clones of their respective parents. Of course they only had one boy but he got Cordell's everything. Regardless, even the other girls were enough different that none of them looked so close. Mira is a teen so once she becomes a young adult it may even be closer. Her jawline and forehead do resemble her father but her eyes nose and mouth - all Delia. 

So here is a side by side:

Thank you for reading my two and a half year long journey. The story started out as one thing and took on a life of it's own.  I had originally planned to kill off Cordell some evil way and move a brokenhearted Delia to another town. But the two of them had other ideas. So I decided to end the story with them. <3
