FOR THE LOVE OF DAHLIA

Chapter 50 (EPILOGUE)

WRITER'S POV

*Seven years later*

Tori smiled as she shook hands with the professor and smiled at the camera for a picture. After six long years of school, she was finally graduating. Those were the best six years of her life, as her husband and kids were the most supportive people in the world.

Dahlia, who was now ten and exceptionally beautiful with curly hair stood up with one of the twins, Darla, and shouted. "Congratulations, mommy. You're the best." Causing the little girl in her arms to giggle excitedly.

Her father who was carrying the other twin, Daryl, chuckled. "Always mommy's number one cheerleader, right princess?"

Dahlia scoffed. "As if. No one hypes mommy like you do. The only reason why you're not standing right now and shouting is because Daryl is asleep."

Ian chuckled. "I love how you know me so well."

Dahlia blushed. "And I love how I know you so well too, daddy."

"I love you too, daddy." Darla, the three years old cutie chirped in excitedly, causing her sister and father to laugh. "And I love you too, Dahlia."

"We love you more." Dahlia and her father said, Dahlia kissing her younger sister's forehead.

Ian ensured he took as many pictures as he could of his wife, looking so beautiful in her robe. Oh, she was exquisite, and Ian knew she was going to be the best pharmacist. He was a proud husband. He was so proud of her. Not only was she a good wife, but she was an even better mother. He was so proud of how she juggled school and parenting and still ended up being the best student in her university. Getting Doctor of Pharmacy degree was not child's play, but his wife did it.  He was indeed the proudest husband in the city. 

Ian was a very dedicated husband and father and loved his family very much. In his whole life, the past seven years were the best he had experienced. He felt peace and love whenever he looked at his family and his businesses were booming more than ever. His family was indeed his good luck charm.

"My biggest thanks goes to my husband, Ian, and my kids, Dahlia, Daryl and Darla for being my inspiration, strength and reason for working this hard. I love you all so much." Tori said with a beautiful smile, causing everyone to applaud. Oh, everyone in the hall enjoyed how graceful she looked.

"That's my mommy." Dahlia kept shouting proudly as she cheered for her mother.

"Congratulations sunshine." Ian shouted too, waking up Daryl in the process. He chuckled. "Sorry young man, but I can't keep calm when my wife's graduating." He said to his sleepy son.

Tori had tears of joy as she watched her family praise her. They were the most important people in her life. She looked to the other end and saw her sister, Tina and her husband(Tina got married to a different guy who accepted her and her son), Zach and his wife, Maria, Finn, Susan and Bella all clapping for her. They were the best circle in the world. They were always there for each other and now that it was her turn, they were here for her as well. She mouthed a big 'thank you' to all of them. Oh, everything was going on so well. She looked up and mouthed. "I know it's all because of you." She said to the heavens.

Later that evening, there was a very big reception at their mansion. Ian built a mansion for his family. This time around, they didn't have to go over to his parents' house, instead, his parents and Nonna came over to his to celebrate Tori's success.

"Congratulations Mrs. Weizmann." Tori heard Zach's voice and turned with a smile.

"Thanks Zach. I'm so thankful for everything. You've been such a wonderful brother-in-law and I couldn't have asked for more." She smiled.
