Redemption - Epilogue
Takes place 3 and ½ years after the end of the war

On the other hand, it was a lovely epilogue.
Jake and Beck putting that play set together made me giggle madly, especially all the little jokes about Heather being better at that sort of thing. Poor boys!! :D
“Okay, but take good care of them.” Heather said as she kissed her husband good bye.

Their jaws dropped as they saw the men - their two tough guys, their two seasoned warriors - playing on the swings like carefree 5 year olds.
Awwwww....
I'm glad to see Beck and Heather staying in Jericho; your scenario is very plausible.
Heather’s smile grew somewhat bittersweet as she watched Ed roughhousing with Jake Jr. While Ed claimed to be perfectly content, she knew that he would’ve loved to have another child, especially a son. She couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty that she was unable to give that to him.

Awwwww...again. So sweet!
I'm so glad you decided to come out to play with us; this was just lovely. :)
