The weirdest part about leaving New Dodge wasn't going home with Stiles or Tori. They were the people she belonged with, her goofy boyfriend and their precious almost one year old daughter.
No, the weird part was apparently Eli'd made sure there was a way for Charlie to have a normal life. Apparently someone there owed him and Charlie found herself with a really good job as co-manager of a local coffee shop. And she found herself with a social security number that she could use without worry.
But Charlie settled in soon enough to a routine and god bless it because it got her and Stiles and Tori an alright apartment. And even after the weirdness that is discovering he was suddenly a grandfather, Stiles' dad took to Tori better than expected.
Now, six months later on a day off, Charlie sat under an umbrella on the beach, watching her daughter with a smile on her face. Tori sat nearby with a small bucket and pail, doing her best to get sand in the bucket and growing frustrated while it got everywhere and Stiles? He'd wandered off to get them food.

This was pretty much perfect.
