Epilogue
Jake looked over the footy field. The Marvel Stadium. This was his dream. This was his destiny. But now, looking at the field in which he grew up, he was overcome with remorse and guilt. It was his dream, and now he has a chance to continue the legacy. A chance to fix something within him that was broken a long time ago. He was given a second chance.
Suddenly, a footy flew his way and hit him on the back.
“Ouch!”
“Ha! Got you, poppy!”
“I am not your poppy, you know!”
“Yeah! But you sure move like one!”
“Funny, Amelia! Very funny!”
He took the child that was his own blood into his arms. Hugged her and spun her around, laughing with joy. He could see her bright grey eyes staring back at him. She had her eyes. The eyes he always got lost in and will continue to do till the end of his days.
“So, this is where it all began?”
“Yes, it is, Amelia! This is where your ‘poppy’ started his career and achieved the dream he set out to do a very long time ago.”
“I want to be a footy player!”
“Is that so?”
“What don’t you think I can do this, huh?”
“You can do anything you set your mind to, Amelia. With that big brain of yours and dad’s natural skills in the field. You can achieve greatness beyond anything that anyone could imagine.”
Amelia looked up at Jake with magic in her eyes, and that is when he realised she has what it takes to accomplish everything she puts her mind to and will continue to do so as Bianca’s legacy.
