Eli

Are you sure you’re ready?

 

Hope

I’ve never been more sure

about anything in my life.

I’ve lost one child already.

This will give me a second

chance at motherhood.

 

Eli

Thank you Hope.  You have

no idea what this means

for me. 

 

Hope

I think I do. (hugs Eli)I’ll see you in

nine months.

 

Eli lays his hand on Hope’s stomach and his hand begins to glow.  Slowly he disappears into her.  Just as the sun is about to set Eve knocks Rachel to her back and looks deeply into her daughter’s eyes.

 

 

Eve

I love you.

 

Eve runs the sword through Rachel and there is a brilliant flash of light.  When it fades the field is empty with the exception of Eve, Gabrielle, Hope, Rachel and Michael.  It is clear from the robes she is wearing and the glow about her head that Rachel has been transformed from a demon to an angel.

 

Rachel

I’m an angel.

Moving On-Final Ending

 

Fade in-Campsite-night

Gabrielle and Hope sit next to the fire and watch as Eve talks privately with Rachel.

 

Rachel

You saved me Mother.  I have

been given a place in paradise

forever.  How can I ever thank

you? 

 

Eve

There’s no need to thank me

Sweetness. I would have traded

places with you if it hadn’t

meant giving up Heaven’s Gate.

You’re my daughter. I love you.

 

Rachel

(hugging Eve)

I love you too. I just found you

and I don’t want to leave. 

 

Eve

Are they calling you?

 

Rachel

Yes.

 

Eve

Then go.  I’ll keep you in

my heart always.

 

Rachel

And you in mine.  If I

see Xena, I’ll tell her you

love her.

 

Rachel kisses her mother’s forehead then steps back and fades away.  After a moment of pulling herself together, Eve returns to the fire.

 

Gabrielle

Today has been a day of miracles.

Three women have been

blessed with their children.

What an amazing gift.

 

Hope

Family is one gift I will always cherish.

 

Eve

I will continue my mission as

the Messenger Of Peace.  You know,

with us as a team the world will

never be the same again.

 

After a short moment of laughter Gabrielle grows serious again.

 

Gabrielle

Let us never take a single day

for granted.  Let us never

forget those we’ve left behind. 

 

Gabrielle holds her hand toward the center of the circle they have formed to make a pact.

 

Eve

 Never forget Mother.

 

Hope

Never forget Xena.

 

Gabrielle

(emotionally)

We’ll never forget Xena.

 

Wide shot of the group.
