Pick Two
For this meme, choose one character of yours and one character of mine-- and then I will write out how they hook up, settle into a long term relationship and/or marriage, and describe their firstborn child/children, if any. Crack pairings and old characters are acceptable.

Re: Forgiveness (Cassidy/Mina) Part III

Cassidy is gone for six months.

In that time, he goes to Ireland to see his mother and grandfather, to Genosha to visit his father and step-mother and he makes it to the Embassy to see his older brother and Giovanna. He also makes up with and apologizes to Tina for the way he treated her.

He goes to visit Izzy in Kentucky and apologize for not appreciating how much she was there for him when they were together.

The entire time, he feels that something is left undone, unsaid, and though he knows what he needs to do, he fears taking that step. He returns to Fargo, Georgia and walks the streets of the rebuilt city, now a bustling town home to over ten-thousand people.

The town's motto: "If we can rebuild, so can you."

Cassidy stares at that sign for hours, feeling the weight of the last two years slowly but surely lift from his shoulders. When he returns to Xavier's he makes a stop at Jake's grave and makes a very solemn vow to the person who'd died trying to save him from the man he'd become.

He also makes up with his cousins and Uncle Scott, before going to see the last person on his list. He knocks on Mina's door and waits.

The moment she answers, she starts apologizing for what she said the day before he left. Rather than let her speak, he simply kisses her.

When he pulls back she just stares at him. Did he gamble wrong? Was he way out of line for what he'd just done?

Possibly.

But when Mina kissed him back, Cassidy knew he'd found the missing piece of the puzzle and the answer to his life.

(Several years later)

Cassidy Summers is not a perfect man, but each day he does his best to be worthy of Mina's love and forgiveness. They were married seven years ago and their son, Jacob Kurt Alexander Summers came the following summer.

The dark-haired, blue-skinned boy had ten fingers and ten toes, but he also had yellow eyes and mischievous streak ten miles wide. Mina and Cassidy still debate on where he got it from, though it doesn't matter: both sides of Jake's family spoil him rotten, including his "Uncle" James.

Today, the little family stands at the grave of Little Jake's namesake, looking down at the person who'd reached across the years to bring them together.

"I promised him I'd take care of you the day I came back to Xavier's." Cassidy tells his wife, kissing her on the cheek.

"Funny. I promised him I'd wait one more month and go find you if you didn't come back. Then I'd take care of you for the rest of your life." Mina tells him, holding Little Jake in her arms.

"To err is human, to forgive divine." Cassiday says, repeating the old maxim.

He knew he was human, finally, but standing next to his wife and son was the closest to heaven he'd ever felt.
