"Hey." He said as he kissed my lips. He sets his brief case down and heads to his vinyl record place. I smirks and puts a record on. The smooth jazz starts to play. Steve softly sways to the music.

'Never thought you'll be here standing so close to me.'

Steve comes to me and sways behind me. I chuckled. I wiped my hands dry and he pulls me to the living room and slowly danced. The jazz blasted the whole house. I placed my head on his chest and Steve rested his chin on my head. I never thought i would be here, with my prince charming, i never thought i would have a ending like this.

'Kiss me once then kiss me twice and then kiss me once again. Its been a long long time.'

I looked at Steve and we both looked at each other. To this day, he still makes me feel special. Like im in high school and having a crush on the cute boy. We stared at each other. Steve smiles and kisses me.

'You'll never know how many dreams I dreamed about you.'

I hummed. We heard footsteps running in. Steve picks up Natalie and we danced with her. We both attacked her with kisses. We put her down and we danced by ourselves again. Natalie looked at us. I just want to say when you're a kid, you assume that your parents are soulmates. My kids will be right about that. Steve and I are soulmates. I'll never will find another guy like Steve. Im glad that I met him. All that waiting, it was worth it. We heard a doorbell. We stopped dancing and Steve went to get it.

"Uh Doll!" He yelled. I walked to the front door. "Its for you." There was boxes. One was taller and another one was small.

"Who sent this?" I was checking around if there was a name. All i can find was mine. I opened the small box. I saw that it was my fathers sunglasses. I was about to yell for Natalie, thinking it was hers but a note slipped out.

I thought you look amazing in these!
~Dad

I covered my mouth and tried not to cry. Steve looked at me.

"What is it?" I handed him the note. He was shocked. "Tony." He whispers. I went to the big box. Steve helped me open it and i couldn't believe it. I backed away and cried.

"It cant be

"It cant be." I whispered. I looked at it. It was the first suit i made with my dad. Mark III. I stepped forward and touched it. "I thought we lost you." Steve helped me put the suit in the living room. I sat on the couch, staring at it.

"Whats that beeping sound?" I slowly got up to the suit and I pressed the arc. A hologram of my dad appears. I gasped. I walked right in front of it. "Tony." Steve said.

"Daddy?" I whispered.

"I hope you didnt feel jealous that I made one for Morgan. You were wrong. You're my first born, i couldnt forget you." I sat down on the couch. Steve sat next to me, holding my hand. "Well, if you got this message, that means i died." It was so good to hear his voice, one last time. "I know I promised you that ill be okay. Im sorry that i broke that promise. This time travel thing, its got me thinking, i just wanted to make a video for you. If died, I want you to live a perfect life, with Steve of course. Im really happy for you. Your mother would be so proud of you. Of us. When you told me that either me or Steve was gonna die, I kinda knew it was me. So dont cry for me. I had my share of life, im glad that you were in it with me. Every step of the way." I squeezed steves hand. "Im glad to be called your father. You Crystal, are amazing. You are strong, you are powerful. I dont want you to feel sad about my death. Dont think that you could've done this or that. Just know, im okay. I can finally rest." I saw him crying. He waited and continued. "Knowing you, how caring you are, take care of your sister for me." He sobbed. "Im sorry that i wasnt the best father, you are my greatest creation. I will always be in here." He pointed at his heart. "When I die...I'll think about you. My daughter, my heir, you are my heart. I love you with all days and nights, deeper than oceans and skies." My dad smiles and the hologram faded away. I broke down. Steve rubs my back and hugged me.

"I want to be alone for a minute." I told him.

"Ill be in the kitchen." He left. I sat up and touched the suit again.

"I cant believe i sound like that." I slowly turned around and almost collapsed to the floor. I slowly walked up. "You can see me?" I nodded my head. I touch his cheek. "You can touch me?"

"Dad." I said. I hugged him. He hugged me back. It was his ghost.

"You told me that you'll be okay." He looked at me. "You lied."

"I lost you, how can I be okay?"

"Im not gone. Im never gone." He smiled. "I love what you done to the place." I laughed.

"I miss you dad."

"So do I. We'll meet each other again, not now. One day." He touches my cheek. "Live that life, the one I've been telling Steve about." I nodded my head.

"Did you go peacefully?" I asked.

"Yes." He nodded. "I was surrounded by my family."

"We miss Nat too."

"She's fine. She's doing good. She said that you would crash and burn without her." I laughed. "I wanna say this, you'll be fine. Ill be waiting for you."

"I love you dad."

"I love you too honey bunny." He kissed my head. I closed my eyes and opened them. He was no longer there. I finally felt better. It was that closure i needed.
