My Abusive Life!

Epilogue

2 years and 3 months later....

(Aria Pov)
"I can't believe I am getting married today" I tell Zoe as she helps me get my dress on. "I know today you officially become my sister," she says to me with a squeal. Once I finally had my dress on I helped Zoe zip up her Maid of Honor dress on. "You look amazing," Zoe's says to me as she puts some finishing touches on my hair. "I sure hope so," I tell Zoe as I fell my nerves getting the better of me. "Aria calm down and breath you know Ryder will love you know matter if you wore a garbage bag as a dress," she says with laughter in her voice. "Ha ha ha that is so not funny," I say with annoyance in my voice. "Fine I will not make fun of you anymore," she says to me throwing her hands in the air in surrender.

It is now time to go to the doors of the church and get ready to walk down the isle, I loop my arm through my poppy's as we get ready to enter. The doors open allowing my now three year old Ava to enter in throwing flowers out of her basket as she walks down the isle and out the side door to wait with my grandmother until her next part in the wedding. The wedding march starts and I start getting nervous as I make my way down the isle to a very amazing looking Ryder. As my poppy placed me in front of Ryder, kissed my cheek, and then took his seat. I locked eyes with Ryder as he took my hands in his, and his eyes where just so full of love and I could wait to be his in the eyes of everyone. "Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join these two people in holy matrimony, if anyone has anything against these two being married then speak now or forever hold your peace," the preacher says and then give a moment for anyone who may want to speak up. "Since nobody said anything then we will proceed with the marriage ceremony, Ryder if you will say your vows and the Aria you follow after him," the preacher says to us.

"I know I have said it before but I have loved you since the day I meet you in the hospital two years ago, and I can't believe I am standing here today marrying you it makes me feel like the luckiest man alive. I also want you to know that even though I have made mistakes in the past I promise to love, cherish, and be the best husband I can be to you. I will also be the best father I can be to our children, and if you say I do today I swear I will never leave either of you ever again, until death do us part," Ryder says to me with so much love in his eyes and I knew then he meant every word he said.

(Ryder Pov)
"I have also love you since I meet you two years ago in that hospital room, and who would have know you would be the one I would be saying yes to spending the rest of my life with. I promise that if you say I do today that I will honor, cherish, and I will be the best wife to you and mother to our children that I can be until death do us part," she says to me with tears streaming down her face, which I quickly wiped away with my finger.

"Now that the vows have been said we will be needing the rings," the preacher says to us. A moment later the doors open and in comes Ava pulling Rylan in a wagon since he was only six months old and was our little ring-bearer. Once up front Zoe got the rings off the pillow in the wagon and hands them to us then takes Ava and Rylan with her back to her spot. I place the ring on Aria's finger and say, "with this ring I the wed." The Aria does the same and say, "with this ring I the wed." "I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride," the preacher says and without hesitation I place a soft kiss on her lips and the crowd goes crazy. As we turn readying to exit the preacher says, "I would like to introduce to you Mr. and Mrs. Ryder Thompson." Before exiting I take Ava in to my arms as Aria gets Rylan from Zoe and we then make our way out the doors as a happy family.

We are now at the reception and we have already cut the cake so now it is time for our first dance as husband and wife. We make our way to the dance floor as the song When You Look Me In the Eyes by the Jonas Brothers comes on. I pull Area close and we sway to the music as everyone one watched, it was like we where the most important people in the world at this moment. "Daddy Daddy can I dance please," Ava says as she tugs on my pants leg causing me to laugh at how cute she is. "Of course sweetheart anything for my princess," I tell her as I pick her up and start dancing silly with her causing her to giggle. "No daddy not like that, like you and mommy dance," she says to me as she grabs my face in her hands so she could look at me. "Yes mam your majesty," I say to her as I place her on the floor and get on my knees so I could be more at her level and I dance with her. A moment later more people begin joining us in dancing including Aria who was dancing around with our little Rylan. I smile knowing that as long as I have Aria, Ava, and Rylan in my life, I would always be happy.

(Zoe Pov)
Once everyone started dancing Nate came and took my hand and led me to the dance floor so we could dance to. "So the wedding was beautiful wasn't it," Nate asked me causing me to look at him funny. "Yes, but most guys would never admit that a wedding was beautiful," I say to him laughing. "Well maybe I'm not like most guys," he say to me seriously. "I guess you not," I say feeling a little confused at why he was saying these things. "Zoe do you love me?" He asked me with his eyes locked on mine. "Yes you know I do, where is all this coming from," I ask him seriously. "Well then come with me" He says as he starts dragging me to the staged are where the DJ was controlling the music.

A moment later he was pulling me up on the stage and the wipers something to the DJ and then the guy hands him a microphone and stops the music. "If I could have everyone's attention please I have something I would like to ask Zoe," he says to the crowd of people causing them all to stop what they where doing and turn there attention towards us. He then gets down on one knee and takes my hand, "Zoe I know we have only been dating for a little over a year but I know that you are the only women I won't to spend the rest of my life with, and I wanted to ask you this In front of all your friends so they can also see how mush you mean to me. Zoe will you make me happy and marry me, please say yes because I want you to be mine and I want to have children with you?" Nate asked me with nothing but love in his eyes. With tears streaming down my face I shook my head yes, which causes the crowd to erupt in applause. He then stands up, places the ring on my hand, and then kiss me hard and I could feel all his love and passion for me in it.

I jump of the stage and run over to Aria showing her my ring, "I'm sorry we did this on your day, you know I would never one to still the spotlight from you on your special day," I say trying to hold down my excitement so that I could be serous for a minute. "Zoe it's fine I knew before the wedding that he was going to do it," Aria tells me seriously. "Really you did," I say curiously. "Yes Nate came and asked Ryder and I permission to do it yesterday," she tells me happily. "Ok good," I say feeling relief. "Well that's the least we can do since you two have agreed to keep Ava and Rylan for the weekend while we go on a mini honey moon," she tells me honestly. "Well they are my niece and nephew, and besides I think that we could use the practice of we are to have some of our own kids one day," I tell her laughing. Aria hugs me before returning to her wedding party, and I then head back to Nate so we can do some celebrating of our own.
