Chapter Text
"Dad look how handsome he is!" Riley exclaimed looking down at his new
baby boy.
Maddie held the baby in her arms, rocking the sleeping infant back and fourth.
"Are you sure you're naming him Phillip?" Dan asked, still in awe of the newborn.
"Phillip is a name he should be honored to be called. It is a name of kindness and all things good. Dad was a good man, he deserves this."
Riley looked back down at his son.
"He's perfect isn't he dad?"
Dan smiled up at his son, of all the things he's accomplished in his life, this was one of them that Dan was proudest of.
"He really is."
......
Just before baby Phillip turned one, Dan passed away.
It was of natural causes thankfully, he had lived a full life and could now be at peace. His heart complete once again.
Riley stood there, watching as they buried his father. He had lost both of them and now felt completely alone.
That feeling vanished when he felt Maddie's arms wrap around him, little Phillip asleep in his stroller.
Riley looked down at his little family, he knew he would never be alone as long as he had them with him.
"I'll make you proud dads."
.......
As Dan watched the world fade away he heard a voice off into the distance. The voice slowly turned into a shape, the shape into a body. Dan slowly recognized the body, it was Phil.
Dan smiled and took his hand once again. The two reunited at last, this time they wouldn't ever have to let go.
"Welcome home."
