Okay, just so you guys know, because I'm writing a Metallica fan fiction for NaNoWriMo next month (will post here I promise) I'm wrapping up Fade to Black this month. That's right, these are the last few chapters of Fade to Black. And they're going to be exciting too, lots will happen, there will be happiness and I promise you there will be saddness. So without further adue, well to the last few chapters of Fade to Black! Brace yourself! CHAPTER 47 6 MONTHS LATER We'd gone with the title, "Metallica and Family" and everyone was really proud of it. It was critically acclaimed and went platinum. Almost straight after Cliff had recorded his tracks with Metallica, The Sadakos went into the studio to record their album. Cliff's album went out and they went on a world tour. And just like Kirk and I had done in the 80s, Cliff and his lady were touring together. But they were stronger then Kirk and I had been in our early days, you could see it in their eyes that they were very much in love. Tyra was growing up, she was almost 6 now. Her birthday was in a few months and Kirk was planning a huge party for his baby girl. Belinda was a few weeks away from having her baby and Jason couldn't have been more excited about it. James went along with Jason as he went shopping for the new addition. "Boy or girl?" I would ask him. "Don't know, I don't want to know yet, I want it to be a surprise." Kirk and I had looked after Rob's kids while he took his wife on a romantic second honey moon in Hawaii. They had such a great time there, it was magic. James and Fran were doing great, their kids were growing up so fast. Cali was in her teens now, and I heard a rumour that she had a boyfriend. "If he comes to the house..." James would say shaking his fist. "Yeah right James." "When Miles has a girlfriend, then you'll know what I mean." "If Miles ever gets a girlfriend I'll be amazed, all that kid ever does is play guitar, he's a disgrace to the Ulrich name!" Miles had gone to live with Lars a few months back, and though Lars would never admit it, he loved having his son around all the time. "Hey, he's getting pretty good at guitar!" Kirk said. "I blame this on you Kirk, you gave him that guitar." "No," Kirk replied, "he borrowed it and never returned it." "Ahhh..." Lars sighed, "like father like son." It would have been almost Christmas time when I received the letter in the post. Kirk's birthday had just been and it wasn't quite Feburary yet, so it wasn't Tyra's birthday. It was invitation, to Cliff's wedding. "Honey! Honey! Cliff's getting married in two months!" I yelled out. "That's not much notice." "Well, you never give much notice either." "This is very true my love, very true." I had walked back into the house and put the invitation on the kitchen table. It was a very cold day and Kirk and I had been snuggled up togther under a heavy blanket watching television. Tyra was over at the Ulrich's place playing with Hannah. The phone rang. "Hello?" I answered. "It's me." "New kid!" "Come down to the hospital." "What's wrong? Is everything okay?" He seemed nervous, so I got worried. "Everything's fine, I'm nervous is all." "Kirk and I will be done there as soon as possible. Hang tight kid!" Kirk and I grabbed our coats and rushed down to the hospital. Traffic was pretty good. Kirk reminded me that it was only 2 days til Christmas. The holidays was always a really happy time in my home, Cliff always flew home for Christmas, no matter where he was. He brought Angel along with him and we had a big family dinner Christmas Eve. This year we were all going to the Hetfield's place for Christmas Day. Fran was cooking a big lunch and everyone was going to be there. Lars was even okay with Dave hanging around now, so he was coming along for Christmas Lunch too. It was truly a family affair. We reached the hospital and Jason was standing outside waiting for us. It was freezing cold, his lips were purple and his nose was bright red. "Doing your best Rudolph impression?" Kirk asked. "Trying out your worst joke?" Jason said back, with a grin. "Point taken, point taken." "Okay boys, sorry to break this up. But what's the deal Jase? What's going on?" "Belinda's gone into labour, it's a little early but the doctor said it was normal with this sort of thing," Jason said, we were walking through the doors and into the hospital, Jason was leading the way. It was eery walking through those doors, the last time we'd been there, Cliff had been knocking on death's door. "What do you mean, this sort of thing?" Kirk questioned. "Twins." "Twins?" I was puzzled. "Twins. A boy and a girl apparently. Remember, I told Belinda all I wanted to know was that we were having a healthy baby." "Well at least now none of the stuff you brought will go to waste." Jason smiled. He was nervous. But we all knew everything would work out okay. Before long the whole gang was at the hospital. Lars was pacing around the room waiting for information. James was playing it cool, sitting back, relaxing. I swear he could have fallen asleep at any minute. Kirk was listening to music and air-guitaring in the corner. Dave was bored, so before long he joined Kirk in listening to the iPod and air-guitaring. Jason was in the room with Belinda. And I waited. At 5am on Christmas Eve. To more New Kid's were born. |

CHAPTER 48 Jason and Belinda were keeping their babies names very secret. They said they would reveal their names on Christmas Day. It would be a Christmas present for everyone. Belinda was doing incredibly well. She was radiant, and her children, well they were just beautiful. Jason was adjusting to life as a father, he took it like a duck to water. His little boy was so adorable, with a tuft of red hair on his tiny little head. And his girl was just beautiful, with great big eyes and blond hair just like her mother. Christmas Eve, Cliff came a knockin' on our door. He was hand in hand with Angel with a huge grin on his face. "Son! You're home!" I hugged him tightly and gave him a big kiss on the cheek. "And you brought your beautiful fiance with you." I gave Angel a hug too. I ushered them in. "CLIFF!" Tyra said running up to hug her big brother. Cliff picked her up into his arms. "Tyra! Hello!" Kirk wandered into the room, once again he was just wearing a pair of board shorts. "Dad, do you ever wear a shirt?" Cliff asked. "For your information I couldn't find a clean one." We sat down and had dinner. Kirk had been in the kitchen all afternoon. He'd decided it was time to introduce Angel to his kind of cooking. I had become a lacto-ovo vegitarian as well, it had made me feel much healthier, and I was loving the food. Tyra was lacto-ovo vegitarian too. She had never really like eating meat, and she was her Daddy's girl after all. We sat down to have dinner and everything was going splendidly. I loved the holidays, everyone together. It was fantastic. "We're getting married in Spain," Cliff said. "Why Spain?" Kirk asked. "I want it to be like a family tradition, getting married on that beach." "That's great honey, it's a wonderful idea," I said with a smile. "You're thinking of having a family?" Kirk asked. "We are having a family," Cliff said. "I'm pregnant." This was the best news ever! Our little family was expanding. Kirk and I were going to be grandparents. "Honey that's great!" I'd never been happier. "Congratulations son," Kirk said, getting up to go and give Cliff a hug. We celebrated that night. Tyra was so incredibly happy ("I'm going to be an Aunty!") and I was so incredibly proud. The next day we woke up to Tyra jumping on the bed. "Santa's been! Santa's been!" We walked out into the living room to see Cliff and Angel sitting on the couch in front of our HUGE tree that had a mountain of presents underneath. "Now, these are only Santa presents, the presents from your mother and I, Cliff and Angel and your Uncles come at lunch time," Kirk explained. "I know Daddy, can we open our presents now?" she asked with an adorable smile. "Of course baby!" Kirk spoiled her rotton, he gave her all the things he'd wanted when he was a kid. But she didn't take it for granted, she was so incredibly polite and well-mannered. I loved both of my children dearly. At about 10am we all jumped in the car and headed over to the Hetfield's place. Everyone was there. These guys were always hungry so Fran had put out some snacks for everyone to nibble on before lunch. Cliff and Angel told everyone that they were expecting, and everyone was so happy for them. Miles announced that he had been accepted into a special music program at school (the same one Cliff had been in) and even Lars was proud of his guitaring skills, though he kept asking him when he was going to take up drumming. And finally, after what seemed like such a long wait, the Newstead's announced the names of their babies. "Okay, okay, everyone, these are my kids, as you know," Jason began, "and you're all waiting to know their names. So without further delay, this is my little girl Clara Belle Newstead, named after my two favourite women. Claire for being their for me through the hardest times of my life, and Belinda, for always being there to catch me when I fall." I was honoured. "And my main man here," Jason paused, "this one was a no-brainer, I knew from the minute I saw him what his name would be. This, this is James Kirk Lars Newstead." I saw the guys smile. "You guys were my brothers for so long, you guys are my brothers still. Long name, I know, and it's not in favourite order, it's in alphabetical order. I always want my children to know how much you guys mean to me. And now they always will." Then Jason turned to Rob and Dave. "You guys will be a part of my life always as well, we're a family remember. And, there will always be a place for you in my family." And with that, we all sat down to eat. After lunch there was the usual swapping of the presents. Rob and Kirk exchanged surf boards as per usual. James had brought the New Kids dirt bikes. "They're newborns, they can't have dirt bikes!" Jason exclaimed. "Yet, not yet, but they'll be old enough soon." Lars brought the kids lots of lollies and chocolates. And Jason had gotten a whole heap of photos copied from his days in Metallica and gave them to each of the guys. They were a big hit. The biggest surprise of all came when Dave pulled out his gifts, he'd brought a guitar for Miles and Cliff, a brand new bike for Tyra, an iPod for Cali... the list went on and on... "You didn't have to do all this," I said to Dave later on. The kids were playing in the yard, so Dave and I went for a walk. "I wanted to, to see everyone happy like this, it's great," Dave replied. "You don't remember our first meeting do you?" "What do you mean?" "It was back in '87 in a club in San Fransisco." "That would be why I don't remember." "You were very angry back then." "And confused..." "And now?" I looked at him with absolute sincerity. "Now, I'm not angry anymore." |

CHAPTER 49 The next two months flew by. Tyra's birthday went, we had a party in our backyard for her, with everything she could have ever wanted. It was a great party and everyone had a good time. The wedding was fast approaching, so we all got our stuff packed, and we got ready to go to Spain. Cliff and Angel went on ahead while the rest of us, Metallica, Jason, Dave and ALL the girlfriends, wives, and children, took the Metallica Jet to Spain. We stayed in the same hotel we'd always stayed in whenever we were in Spain. The hotel was ready for us and Cliff and Angel were already there when we go there. "Mom! Dad! You made it!" Cliff came running towards us. "You missed my birthday party," Tyra said, pouting. "Aww... I'm sorry little sis, how about we go out and play outside. And I'll make it up to you, promise," Cliff suggested. Instantly, Tyra wasn't mad anymore, and she went out to play with Cliff. Angel was preparing everything for the wedding, and she'd been very busy. But everything had worked out perfectly, the flowers were beautiful, the decorations were fantastic, the only thing I hadn't seen yet was her dress, but she was keeping it secret so that it would be a big surprise. I couldn't wait, I'm was sure it would the most amazing wedding dress I'd ever seen. The big day was approaching and I think I was more nervous than Cliff was, he was so calm and collected, cool as a cucumber. But I guess he'd always been like that, and some things never change. The morning of the wedding, Kirk and Cliff both woke up very early and went for a walk along the beach. Soon after they had left, I got up and started to get Tyra ready. I helped her pick out a pretty pink dress, and did her hair for her. Then I got myself ready. I wore a yellow dress and did my hair. Then, Kirk got back from his walk. "What were you guys talking about?" I asked him. "I was just telling Cliff that if anything should ever happen to me and you, that he would be Tyra's legal guardian. And some other stuff." "Other stuff?" "Father to son stuff." "I'm glad that you and Cliff are so close." "I wouldn't have it any other way." The wedding was about to begin, and as per usual, all the guests went over the road to the beach for the ceremony. "This is the third wedding I've been to on this beach, and the second one that I've been a groomsmen for," Jason said as we were walking across. Jason, Lars and James were Cliff's groomsmen, and Kirk was the bestman. Angel's cousins were her bridesmaids with her sister being her Matron of Honour. The ceremony was beautiful, and before I knew they were pronounced husband and wife, and my son was kissing his bride. I couldn't have been more proud. We all went across the road and back to the hotel. The reception was beautiful and was held in the big hall. Cliff and Angel had their first dance to Tuesday's Gone, they looked so cute together, it was magical. One by one, the couples came onto the floor. Kirk and I danced together. I saw James taking Fran's hand and bringing her onto the dance floor. Lars was dancing with Connie, he was looking up into her eyes as they danced. Jason and Belinda were dancing together. Rob and Chloe were dancing together. And then I saw the cutest thing out of the corner of my eye. "Hey Kirk honey, look at that," I whispered in his ear. It turned out, Lars was getting his wish, Miles had taken an interest in girls. She was only a few months younger than him, and they had been around each other since they were kids. They were bound to be friends, or more, after a while. I saw Lars and James both turn around and look at the same time. "Is that Miles dancing with?" I heard Lars say. "Cali!" "So that's who Cali has been saying," Kirk whispered in my ear. They looked so sweet dancing together. Like Lars, Miles wasn't very tall. And Cali, like James was a little taller than average. Cali stood a little taller than Miles. They both had blond hair, and blue eyes. It was adorable, and the looks on Lars and James's faces had been priceless. We all returned to the States about three days later. Cliff and Angel honeymooned in Spain for two more weeks. Miles and Cali, both turning 16, continued to date. Despite how 'totally weird' it was to their fathers. |

CHAPTER 50 Cliff sent us pictures from his wedding once they had come back from the photographers, Cliff had looked so handsome in his tuxedo, and Angel had looked so beautiful in her long, white gown, it was like a fairy tale. It would be only a few short months before Angel would have their first child, I was so excited, they would make fantastic parents. Tyra was loving school, and Kirk always helped her with her homework, he was a great dad. We were all so lucky to have him in our lives. Kirk and I were still very much in love. It was a warm spring morning when Lars came banging down the door. "Claire! Open up!" I stumbled to the door, still half asleep and rubbing my eyes. "Where's my boy?" Lars demanded as soon as I opened the door. "Your boy? Huh?" I was confused. "I know he's here! And Cali too. They snuck out during the night." "Then why do you assume they're here?" I still hadn't let Lars in yet. "Because everyone knows that Kirk's a big softy and would make them stay here rather than wonder the streets." "Well, which would you prefer Lars?" "So they're here?" "I don't know. I suppose you better come in." Kirk walked out into the living room where Lars and I were sitting. Lars instantly jumped up and tried to glare up at Kirk. "Where's my boy Kirk?" There was an awkward silence. "I'm right here Dad!" There was Miles, like his father, he was rather short, he had long blond hair and big blue eyes. "You snuck out of my house in the middle of the night to be with that..." "Cali, her name is Cali!" Miles yelled, just like his father, Miles had a temper. "Well, you can't see her anymore!" "Why not Dad, because you don't think I'm old enough, because you don't think she's good enough for me, because..." "Because I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did!" Suddenly, the whole room was silent. "Son, I'm on marriage number three, and trust me, I've never been happier with anyone than I am with Connie. And, I did love your mother, and I'm glad I was with her, or else their wouldn't be you, and their wouldn't be Layne. But, I've had my heart broken more times than I can count, and I don't want you to be hurt, like I was." "Let me make my own mistakes Dad! Sure, I don't know if Cali and I will last forever, but it's good right now, and that's all that matters." I saw Cali standing at the door out the corner of my eye. "Maybe you should come in her Cali." "I'm sorry we snuck out Dad." "Yeah, well, you're grounded for about a month!" Miles looked disappointed, but he understood that he got off lightly. "I better ring my Dad," Cali said softly. "No, he'll be here in about a minute anyway." "Oh..." "I can't ban you guys from seeing each other, so, I suppose..." "Go on Lars," I nudged him. "You can see each other with my blessing." James did arrive soon after, and as expected, he was pretty angry. But he seemed to understand. So, he gave them his blessing too. They all left, and the house was quiet again. It was a lazy afternoon. Kirk played his guitar while I cooked dinner and Tyra did some painting in the yard. After Kirk had finished playing, we had some dinner, and then we went for a horse ride. Soon after we got back from the horse ride through the paddocks and down to the beach, the phone starting ringing. "Mom, Angel had the baby. You have a beautiful grandson." We got in the car and drove down to the hospital. Cliff met us at the door. He appologized for not calling soon, but it all just happened so fast. It was okay, we all understood. We walked into the room and saw Angel and our grandchild. Angel looked incredibly tired, but very happy. Cliff placed the baby in my arms, he was a wonderful little boy. Ten fingers, ten toes, a cute little nose, and a curl of black hair. "What are you going to call him?" I asked. "I was thinking of Kirk, we were thinking Kirk Hammett." "Oh son, Cliff, that makes me so proud." We went home in the small hours of the morning, Tyra was asleep on the back seat and Kirk and I got down to talking. "Do you remember when Tyra was that small?" Kirk asked me. "Yeah she looked so fragile, and so beautiful." "Now she's almost a teenager, and soon she'll be all grown up." "She sure will be, and then it will be just you and me baby." Kirk placed his hand on top of mine, his skin was still so smooth after all those years. So much had changed since that night in the back in 1986. Kirk had grown up and matured, he'd become this totally different person, but when I looked into his eyes, I still saw that sweet man who slept on the floor, so I could have the couch. I still saw that same man who proposed to me in a hockey rink in Canada, and I still saw that same man who skipped down the road when I agreed to come back home to America with him. I still saw the man I loved. The End. |
