John came in the room with water on his cheeks and embraced Matthew in a hold that let him know, out of all your accomplishments in life, this was the greatest one of all.
Later that morning, Conner and Earl would hold their grandson, Conner Joseph Sharp, in their arms. Earl's middle name was Joseph. Neither thought they'd ever live to see a third generation.
The pictures that were taken of the baby, family, and friends were added to the wall in the front entrance, and Sylvia put the final touches in the nursery for when she got to babysit. The millions of dollars in statues and art were sold, and the Burlington's went to great lengths to turn the mansion into a home instead of a museum. Earl had a gate put in around the pool, and Lois made sure there were safety locks on all the cupboards.
A few days after she came home, Chloe walked in the front door, followed by Matthew carrying baby Conner, and stood staring at the wall. It was now full of pictures. She loved the close ups of her baby's tiny face, Matthew holding his son's hand, and the ones of Becky and John kissing little Conner after he was born. Off to the side was a picture of her mother and father holding her child with big smiles on their faces. The smiles were real, and that, Chloe knew, was her favorite photograph of all.
The End
