Years have passed and Callie's now a grown woman who look like her parents but with her grandmother's hair, she never talk about or bring up her father. It's clear that she's mad at him for abandoning her and her mother, Charli try to reason with her daughter about her father.
But it never works.
Callie also became a mother of her own with two children named Trevor and Phoebe, every day that Charli visit them. She sees Egon in their eyes, mostly Phoebe who's just like her grandfather. Trevor is intently became Camila's favorite due to his wild streak similar to Camila's, speaking of Camila her and Charli now live together in their old parent's apartment.

One day while sitting on the couch, reading a book that Egon gave her on her 20th birthday when the phone began to rang. Camila then pick up the phone, "Okay, I'll tell her. Love you too." she then hang up the phone.
"Who is it?" Charli ask while getting up.
"It's Callie."
"What's wrong, is it the kids?"
Camila shook her head, she sigh and then look at her little sister.
"Sh-she got off the phone with the testator," she place her hand on Charli's shoulder, "Charli, Egon passed away."
Charli's heart sank, "W-what? When?" she croaked as tears filled her eyes.
"He died last night, she said they think by a heart attack or something. She said that he left her a farmhouse by Summerville." Camila explained, Charli felt her legs weaken as Camila catch her and stroke her little sister's hair that has a few grey hairs here and there.
"He's really gone, Camila." she whisper through tears.
"I know," Camila mutter while her own tears stream down her face, "I know."
~~~
A week later
A week has passed since the girls received the news, but they did wanna tell the boys yet. Not yet.
The girls stopped at the sign in front of the farmhouse, it read "BEHOLD, THERE WAS A GREAT EARTHQUAKE, THE CLOUDS WAS BLACK AS CLOTH, THE SEA WAS BOILED, THE MOON BECAME BLOOD, THE SKIES HAVE FELL. REVELATION 6:12"
"I bet that everyone think he's a lunatic." Camila mutter, Charli nodded in agreement. Oh Egon Charli thought to herself as she look out the window they drove up to the old farmhouse that has a shed and three silos, the two walked out and was imminently greeted by a blue greyhound.
"Hey, Blue" Camila greeted the hyper greyhound who jumped on her and licked her face, Charli giggled as she then hear someone said "Mom?"
She turns to see her daughter Callie and a unknown man, she smiled at her daughter "Hi, sweetheart."
Callie walk downstairs and ran into her mother's arms, "Oh I see how it is. No 'Hi Aunt Camila, I've missed you.'" Camila teased.
Callie chuckled and walk over to Camila, "Good to see you too, Aunt Camila."
"Good to see you too, Sweetheart."
Camila smirked and ask "Who's the guy?" the man walk over to the girls and stared at him in awe.
"Mom, Aunt Cam, this is Gary. Gary this is-"
"Charlene and Camila Lopez." he shook the two sister's hands.
"You can call me Charli." Charli quipped.
"Of course, I'm a fan of yours."
"Good for you?" Camila said confusingly, she then saw her grandchildren at the doorstep. Trevor walk over to Camila and hugged her, "Hi baby." she greeted while kissing his head before tussling it.
"Grandma." Phoebe greeted while hugging Charli, "Hi sweetheart." she hugged her back. Everytime she looks at her granddaughter, she sees Egon.
God, she missed that man.
But she's glad to see her daughter and grandchildren.
