Amber didn't want to leave the farm, but she was also glad Graham was better. He was now a Christian man again. And got his job back as a pastor. Amber saw him come down in his pastor suit and she smiled fixing his jacket. "Im so glad you're old self again, brother." She then hugged Graham.
Merrill was in the living room with the kids, watching the tv. News reports were still talking about the aliens, but celebrations had been happening all around the world, for the aliens had left.
"This maybe the happiest day for anyone," Morgan smiled.
Amber heard him, but she dropped her head.
"Auntie Amber, what's wrong? Aren't you happy?" Bo asked coming to her.
She looked like she was about to cry.
Merrill came to her worriedly.
"I saved the world...we all did...but why do I feel like-"
Then they heard the doorbell rang.
"...I will go see who's at the door," Graham said and walked to the door.
When he opened and saw a couple standing there at first he was confused, but then he thought he recognized the man. Had he seen a picture of him? With his father?
"Hey, Graham, is it?" The woman spoke, "Its been years since you last seen us."
The man beside her smiled at him, "and look at you. All grown up."
Suddenly he looked down and saw the two kids, Bo and Morgan.
"Are these your children?" The woman asked, "they're beautiful like you."
Morgan then turned to his father. The woman looked similar to Amber. Then it hit him, "Are these Amber's parents?"
Graham then did remember. The man was his father's friend. Not Mac. Amber's father, Mr Gold. He smiled and nodded shaking Mr Gold's hand. "Yes. Yes I have. And these are my children. Thank you. And I do remember you both. Its so good to see you. Amber will be so happy." He let them in and Mr Gold and Belle walked in.
Amber came into the room and stopped.
Mr Gold looked up and froze seeing his daughter before him. Belle was even tearing up. Mr Gold teared up happily seeing his daughter now grown into a beautiful woman.
Amber teared up smiling. "Dad. Mom." She ran to her father and hugged him. Mr Gold smiled and hugged her back with Belle joining the hug.
Merrill finally came in hearing and smiled. He could tell Amber was now happy.
"We've missed you so much, sweetheart," Belle said as she hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.
"And we're so proud of you," Mr Gold added.
Belle then noticed Merrill, "you're...Graham's brother? Merrill, the boy who was crazy about baseball."
Merrill nodded, "yes ma'am."
"Quite a famous baseball player. I've read about you," Mr Gold smiled.
"Yes sir, thank you."
"And mom, dad...funny thing," Amber said when she stood beside Merrill.
"We're dating." Merrill smiled.
Belle then smiled, "awe, Rumple, she found love."
Mr Gold then made a serious face, "well first thing's first. Do you love my daughter, Mr Hess."
Merrill stood up straighter and nodded, "yes sir I do, very much. With your blessing I would like to marry her one day."
"Well," he smiled, "of course, son."
Merrill smiled and shook Mr Gold's hand, and Belle then pulled him into a hug. Amber smiled and kissed him.
Belle smiled happily seeing them kiss.
"Yay! I get to be a flower girl!" Bo smiled.
Morgan then hugged Amber, Bo hugged Merrill, and Graham hugged both Amber and Merrill. They all chuckle happily.
At the church, Graham was inside with the other pastors, they were glad to have him back.
For Amber she was with her father.
"So...the marble you gave me, how did you make that happen to appear as my conscious?"
"Oh I had a old friend to help with that, plus a bit of my magic," Gold winked.
"And its true? I am a quarter alien called a guardian?"
He smiled, "yes of course. I-I don't much about them, because Mac didn't have time to give much information."
Amber then hugged him. He chuckled.
"Thank you." She smiled, "I missed you and mom so much."
"We missed you too, Amber. I am so proud of you. And I am sure, God is too." He smiled.
"Dad? Graham told me the Thing is finally gone." She smiled, "you, uncle Mac and the others that went with you, can relax and be at peace now."
Mr Gold smiled at her and teared up happily turned to face her.
"Well, it's good to know we can finally rest easy now," he smiled, "it seems like everything worked out right for everyone in the end."
"Yes." She hugged him.
