Chapter 7: Last Stand

The sun was just peaking over the horizon when John, Caine, Nobody and (y/n) walk along the court of the church to see the Marquis, Winston and the Harbinger standing by, waiting for them. John and Caine go to stand before the Harbinger while Nobody sits off to the side and (y/n) goes over to Winston as the sun starts rising.

"And so we begin." Harbinger said, raising his arms. Then John and Caine get closer as Winston and Marquis stand next to them. Two butlers pick up a tray, holding two glasses of drinks, and hands it to the men. They each take a glass as Harbinger takes a glass of his own. 

"We seek the truth and will endure the consequences." He said. "Consequences." All four men said before they drink their drink then set the glasses down. Caine hands his cane to one of the butlers and both he and John take off their jackets, John also takes off his vest.

They hand their clothing items to two butlers and they step aside. The Harbinger opens a gun case, revealing two pistols and Winston grabs one and hands it to John, who checks it over. "Positions, gentlemen." Harbinger said as Caine was handed his pistol by the Marquis.

John and Caine take a couple of steps then turn their back on each other. "See you in the next life, brother." Caine whispers to John. "Thirty paces." Harbinger ordered and the two men take the thirty paces.

Once they got to thirty paces, they turn around to face each other. The Marquis and Winston each take one bullet to the men, (y/n) walks over next to Winston. "What a beautiful sunrise." Winston said as he walks up to John then he nods towards the horizon. John and (y/n) looks out towards the sun before John takes the bullet and loads it into his gun.

"Last words, Winston?" John asked him. "Just have fun out there." Winston replied and John nods before he looks over at his beautiful wife, taking in every detail about her as this could be the last time he'd ever see her. "I love you." She tells him, softly. "I love you, too." He said then she leans up to him and gives him a kiss.

Once the kiss was broken, her and Winston step back and John gets into a stance as does Caine. The air was thick with tension as everyone looked around, nervously. "Are you ready, Mr Caine?" Harbinger asked and Caine gives him a slow nod. "Mr Wick?" Harbinger asked and John nods, everyone watching the duel with baited breath. (Y/n) started to hug herself as she starts to shake.

"I commend your souls to God. We begin as we end. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Fire!" Harbinger shouts and John and Caine both fired. (Y/n) jumps, let's out a small yelp at this, and Winston places a hand on her shoulder.


Both John and Caine were still standing, John was only grazed on his right arm and Caine got hit on his left arm but it wasn't too bad as he could still move his hand and arm. "Twenty paces." Harbinger said and the men move ten paces closer.

Marquis and Winston take the second bullet to John and Caine as they reload their gun. Marquis and Winston go to stand by the Harbinger as John and Caine get into a stance. "Fire!" Harbinger said and the two men fire, Caine getting shot in his right side and John just the top of his left shoulder.

"Nice." Caine groans as he goes to stand up. "Ten paces!" Harbinger said and Caine catches his breath then they move up ten more paces. Marquis and Winston then go take the last bullets to the men. "Just kill him." Winston tells John after he takes the bullet and looks at Winston. John and Caine load their guns again as Winston and Marquis steps aside.

(Y/n) places her right hand over her mouth, her whole body shaking, as Winston stands next to her then places an arm around her shoulder. Her eyes were filling with tears as she looks up at John and the two share a look, a silent conversation going on between them, before John looks over at Caine.

"Those who cling to death, live." John recites. "Those who cling to life, die." Caine finishes and everyone watches, wondering and waiting for the outcome of this. "Fire!" Harbinger shouts and John raises his gun but Caine fires and shoots John on his left side.

"NO!" (Y/n) screams and tries to run over to him but Winston grabs her and pulls her back. John stumbled on his feet then falls to his side and Caine lowers his gun. "Stop!" Marquis said. "As your sponsor, I claim the coup de grâce." ​​Marquis said as he grabs a bullet, holds it up then walks over to Caine.

"Your weapon, give it to me." Marquis tells Caine. "Is my daughter free now?" Caine asked him. "Oui. You and your daughter. Enjoy." Marquis replied and Caine hands him the gun and Marquis starts to load the gun with the new bullet.

"You cowardly son of a bitch!" (Y/n) yells as she goes to charge at Marquis but Winston holds her back. Marquis turns to look at her and gives a smile. "Do not worry, Mrs Wick. Your turn will come soon." Marquis said then he goes towards John as John looks at his wife and she looks back at him, tears rolling down her face.

Marquis then aims the gun at John, who starts to sit up. "Rules." Marquis said, smiling, and Winston chuckles and the Marquis looks over at him. "You arrogant asshole, he didn't shoot." Winston said and (y/n) gasped as she didn't realize that as did the Marquis, who turns his head and looks at John in horror.

"Consequences." John growls as he aims his gun and fires, shooting Marquis in the head. (Y/n) sobs out a laugh as Winston smiles and Nobody chuckles as he drinks his beer. "That's fucking good." He mutters while the Harbinger walks up to the Marquis' body, looks at him then over at John.

"Your obligation to the Table...is satisfied, John Wick. You and your wife are free." Harbinger said and (y/n) smiles at this as Harbinger turns to Caine. "As are you and your daughter, sir." He said and Caine lets out sigh of relief. "You will be fully reinstated, Mr Manager. All of your terms will be fulfilled." Harbinger said to Winston as he puts his jacket and hat back on. "Our business here now is concluded. Good day." Harbinger said and he snaps his fingers and the butlers all clean up.

Caine goes over to John and kneels down next to him and pats him on the back. "My brother." Caine said. "You owe me one." John tells him and Caine chuckles. "Yeah." Caine said and he stands up and walks away.

John tries to stand and (y/n) goes over to him and helps. He stands up and looks down at her and she gives him a tearful smile then leans her head against his chest, trying her best not to wrap her arms around as she knew he was in pain. He leans his head against the top of her head and kissed it before he looks up at Winston.

"Winston." He said.

"Johnathan." Winston said.

"Will you take us home?" John asked him. "Of course." Winston said after a moment of silence. Then John takes his wife's hand and they walk down a few steps before they sit down on a step. 

"John, I-I can't believe it. We're free...you're free! We can go home, go live our lives how we wanted. Try to go back to how they were. I mean...I-I know it'll take some time but..." (y/n) rambles on as John turns his head to look at her, just staring at her. He wanted to look at her one more time as he started to feel himself fading in and out of consciousness.

He couldn't believe how lucky of a man he was to have a woman like her. Even after these last several months, after the lies and the hell he had put her through, she still stuck by his side and loved him all the same.

But that was always part of their vows, right?

For better or worse.

He gives a weak smile to her, seeing that light in her eyes, then lowers his head as he started lose consciousness. "And you know, we should..." (y/n) started to say but she looked over just as John started to lean over his left side. "John?" She asked, worried, and he falls over and (y/n) gasped and started to panic. 

"John! John?! No, no, no, no." She said as she gets up and walks over to his side and kneels down next to him to see his eyes had closed. "No, no, no, don't do this to me, John. Please, don't. John!" She pleads as she cups his face in her hands and patted his cheek as if that'll wake him. "JOHN!" She cried then she looks over towards Winston. "WE NEED HELP! PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP HIM!!" She cried the she looks back at John, fresh tears pouring down her face.

"Please, don't leave me. Please, don't." She cried and she leans her face against his chest, crying.



Weeks later, in New York, Winston and The Bowery King stand before a gravestone with the name John Wick, Loving Husband. The two of them staring at it. "Never thought I'd see the day. Where do you think he is, heaven or hell?" The Bowery King asked him. "Who knows?" Winston said, shrugging, and The Bowery King smiles and walks away from the gravestone, the Wick's dog with him.

Winston walks up to the gravestone and places a hand on it. "Farewell, my son." he said and he too walks away and towards his car while the Bowery King walks in a different direction.




An alarm goes off and (y/n) opens her eyes, slowly. The sunlight beaming through the window of the room was blinding for a moment but her eyes adjusted. She rubs her eyes then starts to sit up and sit on the side of the bed, then places a hand on her little belly bump. 

She smiles down at it then goes to stand up and felt the strong urge to go to the bathroom. "Geez, you're really pushing my bladder today, aren't ya, kiddo?" She asked, quietly, and she goes to the bathroom.

After using the toilet, washing her hands and brushing her teeth, she goes to the kitchen to see what was available for food. It had been almost three months since the showdown in Paris, and after everything, Winston helped provided a home that was outside of the city and in a rural area. 

Even though, the Table wouldn't come after her anymore, (y/n) still couldn't bare to live in the City and wanted to live somewhere away from the city where there was little to no neighbors. So, she was able to find this decently sized cabin home that was pretty much out in this beautiful country area. Sure the house wasn't as elegant as her previous home but she loved the simple look to the place.

Sometime after getting this place, (y/n) found out she was pregnant and she couldn't believe it. Her little miracle baby as she called the little one after she figured out when she had gotten pregnant and realized everything she had gone through.

Luckily, the place she's living in is enough to hold a family of at least five, in any case she'd like to have more kids if all goes well.

As she looks through the cabinets for food, she opens one door and sees a box of pancake mix and suddenly that started to sound really good right now. Guess that's what the baby wants. She thought as she smiles, takes the box and gathers the ingredients and got to work on making some pancakes.

She was so busy with fixing breakfast that she didn't hear footsteps coming into the room, a figure of a man comes up to the kitchen doorway and he leans against the doorframe to watch her for a moment, admiring her fixing breakfast in her bathrobe. Then he comes up behind her and then she felt the familiar warm embrace as he wraps his arms around her waist.

She smiles as she feels his lips kiss her shoulder then neck before she turns her head to him and he leans in and kisses her on the lips. She breaks the kiss and stares into the familiar brown eyes that she was once afraid she was never gonna see again.

"Good morning, John."
