Final Chapter - Forevermore

"Why..you did that?" Clara asked.

Joanna smiled and sat on the sofa, opposite the coffee table. "Have a sit, please." She said.

Clara sighed and sat on the sofa opposite her.

"You see, today I realized how old I am." Joanna said.

"You just realized?" Clara asked, teasing.

Joanna laughed. "You're older."

She reached down and took something from under the table. It's a photo album.

"This..remind me of who I was." Joanna said as she put down the album on the table.

"Oh, suddenly you turned nostalgic?" Clara said, leaning forward to look at the album.

Joanna chuckled and turned the pages.

"Hey..it's you and Stacy." Clara said.

Joanna smiled as she stared at the yellow photo of two girls holding hands by the beach.

"I wonder how she's doing now." Clara said.

"Married with 3 kids." Joanna replied casually.

"That's what I heard." she added.

She flipped another page revealing another picture.

"Aww..." Clara cooed.

It's a picture of Joanna holding a baby in her lap.

"That's Lauren." Joanna said.

"She was so small." Clara said.

"Yeah, I could hold her with just one hand."

"You..did that to my baby?!"

Joanna laughed. "Oh come on, she's so big now! No bones broken..I think....but..oh..I think that's why she walks like a sergeant.." 

Clara stared at her sister in disbelief.

"I'm just kidding!" Joanna said and then she put an arm over her sister's shoulder. "I just realized..how much I love this kid." Joanna said.
