The Actual End

*a few years later*

"You've got nothing else to say?"

"Nope"

"Nothing at all?"

"No."

"SERENA WHY ARE YOU SO CALM, YOU'RE GONNA BE A MOTHER"

"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REACT?"

"WHY AREN'T YOU CRYING OR SOMETHING?"

"ASH WHY AREN'T YOU CRYING YOU'RE GOING TO BE A DAD"

That's where he froze. Ash's going to be a dad. I think it just hit him. His going to be a dad. I'm going to be a mom. How did this even happen? Well, I know how it happened but...I'm going to be a mom???

"We're going to be parents..."Ash whispered, almost a bit too quiet, with a tiny quiver in his voice. His head was lowered, looking down at the green bedding we were sitting on.

I could feel his hands shaking, and hear how his breathing became a bit uneven.

"Ash...we're gonna be parents"

"WE'RE GOING TO BE PARENTS SERENA OH MY GOD" he jumped up, with the widest grin across his face. He had tears in his eyes,  and bright red cheeks. His so cute.

"Serena why are just sitting there we have to get ready."

"Ash,I just found out,we have 9 months to get ready" I rolled my eyes. I'm going to be a mother, that's insane.

Ash's currently jumping around, chanting 'I'm gonna be a dad'. He's so excited that he started crying.

He sat down again, taking my hand between his and kissing my knuckles. "We're going to be parents" he let's out a sob. And suddenly I started crying.

"Yeah we are."

*****
Its getting dark outside, Ash and I have settled into the bed. After the whole moment we had, we started calling everyone to tell them, made dinner, showered, and now we're here. Ash has his head resting on my stomach, speaking softly to my flat stomach.

"Ash, you know people normally do that after the first few months right?"

"Shh, we're communicating"

What an idiot.

After a few mintues of him whispering to himself, he comes back up and looks directly at me.

"I can't wait to show he, she or them,even,  everything." He lays back down, and let's out a deep sigh. I lay next to him,turning off our side lamp and looking at our white ceiling.

"I can't wait to love and support them" he whispers. "Night Se, I love you"

"I love you too Ash"

This is the man I love. It's crazy. Lying here just feels like a dream. He really is everything I want, everything i ever needed.

Our late night toast. Then we do stuff. And he goes to make us more toast after.

The mental breakdowns, with many,many tears and we end up watching Glee. Ash has a crush on Quinn. And every now and then he complements Kurt's ass.

That one time I asked him to get milk and he came home with a cat. I wonder what happened to that cat, we never found her after a week.

The little conversation I have with him while he talks in his sleep. Once he called me a pile of pickles in the back of a candy shop.

Us screaming our lungs out to Taylor Swift in the car.

Everything.

It makes me think about how happy I've been these past few years. Ash is amazing. Everything's great. He makes me feel calm. Almost like I'm at ease. Peaceful.

I love him.

And that, is what I call a shitty ending. A huge thank you to everyone that's supported me over the past like 4 years. I started writing this when I was in grade 6, 2018. Since then I've kinda forgotten about it, dragged it out, or just didnt really have ideas. But it's been fun. I'm happy to say this is the unfortunate ending,where we all part.
For the last time:
