Epilogue
Raven hopped off the school bus and waved to her friends and the bus drove off.
The 16 year old looked towards the house her and her father, Dean were living in. She saw his car wasn't there, so she started walking up the street.
After about 20 minutes of walking, she made it to her destination.
The graveyard.
She found her Daddy's grave and sat down next to it. "Hi Daddy," she whispered softly.
She leaned against his headstone and took out the book she had to read for class. She felt... Comfortable, sitting there. She felt her Daddy's presence and it soothed her.
She read for a while, then noticed she was getting tired. But she didn't want to leave. She put her bookmark in her book and laid down. "Watch over me please, Daddy... I don't want to leave you yet..." She yawned once, then fell asleep.
Dean had made it home and went inside. "Raven?" He put down the bags of grocery and went to her room. When he didn't see her, he immediately knew where she was.
He left the house and got in the car. He drove to the graveyard and hopped out.
He walked straight to Gabriel's grave and saw Raven sleeping. "Oh baby." He kneeled down beside her and picked up her stuff. He threw her booksack over his shoulder. He scooped her up into his arms.
Before he carried her to the car, he smiled at the headstone. "Thanks for watching over our baby, Gabe."
Dean felt a soft breeze blow across his cheek and closed his eyes. He inhaled deeply before opening them again, then heading out the graveyard.
Raven stirred a bit at the bouncing and opened her eyes. "Daddy?"
"Yeah baby?"
"I still miss him..."
"I know. I miss him too. You know he loves you, right?"
"Yeah.."
"And I love you too, okay?"
"Ok. I love you too."
