Charlie was alive. That's all that really mattered to Mariana. They didn't get Juana back, but- look, if he had the choice between the two of them, Mariana wouldn't be able to choose. But Charlie was the one to walk away from Purgatory, and really, that's all that mattered.
He was here, now, in Mariana's arms, in their bed, and Charlie was asleep against Mariana's chest. One of his wings, under the covers - he could practically hear people squawking at him to pull it out - covered Charlie and kept him pressed close, while his arms surrounded Charlie's torso.
Purgatory was done, it was a done deal, he didn't need to worry about potentially losing Charlie again. Sunny and Pepito were both fine with their other parents for right now. Charlie was Mariana's for the time being.
