Our Risky Choice

Chapter 34

We then just laid there in each other's arms looking up at the night sky. After today I know how all this is going. No one or anything will ruin it. Riven showed me that today.

Even since that day not a lot happened. Everything is good. The future looks great. Soon this will be over. But hopefully not for our marriage. I woke up early this morning. Riven was still asleep. I crawled out of the bed quietly. I really couldn't sleep last night. I had a lot on my mind. Today is the day I must answer the most important question. Will we stay together or get a divorce?

I went to distract myself. I need to think about something else before this makes me go crazy. I know last night Riven did tell me that he was going nowhere, and he is here to stay. But anything can change or happen. When I got back from my distraction, I headed into the garden I share with my mother and sister.

"I thought I was the only one awake." I spoke.

"You don't get that from me. I got into habit from your mother. You got that from your mother." He told me.

I couldn't help myself not to laugh. I headed over and got some coffee for myself. I then went and sat by her on one of the stools next to him. He then looked at me and asked,

"What is bothering you?"

"How do you know something is bothering me?" I asked her.

"One, I am your father I know it all. Two, you always try to get something to distract you when something bothers you. You try to get something else to replace to problem that is bothering you. You always do this to help clear your thoughts ever since you can walk." He answered me.

"Well, today is the day I have to make a decision on my marriage with Riven. I am so nervous on what he might say. I already know I want to make this work. I want to be with him forever and have a family." I told him.

"Oh honey. Stop stressing yourself out. That boy is in love with you. Right when he first saw you on your wedding day he was in love. His eyes light right up. Everyone in that could tell. He would be crazy if he chooses anything else. Your mother would have really liked him. They would have got along really great if she was here. She would have approved of all of this." My father told me.

"Thanks dad. I really needed to hear that. I have been over thinking it all." I told him.

"Always honey. Just remember follow your heart. The facts have been shown and they are all there. It is always right." He told me.

Time has gone by fast. It was almost time for Riven and I to leave. I went back to my room to get ready. I put on one of Stella's dresses she made for me. I did a simple make-up look. After I got done, I did one more look over. I then went to meet Riven out front. There was a ship waiting for us there.

"You look amazing." He told.

"Thanks. You look good yourself." I told him.

We then headed out. The whole time of traveling I was nervous. I had butterflies in my stomach. When we finally landed Riven let me get out first. We were token right inside. Right to a room with the experts.

"Hello Riven and Musa." Dr. Logan said.

"Hello there." We said together.

"So, today makes a year from your marriage. We are here because you have to decide if you two want to be together still or get a divorce." Dr. Logan told us.

"What will be your decision today Musa?" Dr. Pepper asked me.

I looked at them and then to Riven. I know for a while now what I wanted to do. I then said,

"I would love to stay with the man that I call my husband. He has become my rock and everything. So, I want to be with Riven forever."

I looked over to Riven. He had a huge smile on his face. I smiled back at him. Then Dr. Pepper asked Riven,

"Riven, what have you decided?"

"Since the first day I saw Musa, I know what I wanted to do. I know fate would help me when I started this. So, I want to stay together with her and have her as my wife." He told me.

My smile just grows even bigger. I then leaned over and gave him a kiss. He kissed me back. We then looked at the experts.

"So, happy for you two. Now the experiment is over and you two will stay together. You two have a whole world adventure. Hopefully, those adventures bring happiness and amazing memories." Dr. Logan said.

After that we head out. Now our lives have begun. A new chapter has just started. I can't wait to see what it holds for us. If I have Riven, I can do anything. I now know he feels the same thing too. It was our risky choice with this experiment.

A Few Years Later

After the experiment was over nothing really changed. Riven and I have been living on Melody together. I have become a singer and having my music out there. Riven has retired from being a police officer. He has been helping at Red Fountain teaching defenses and skills. The only thing that changed in our lives is that we have a set of triples a boy and two girls. Their names are Zimri, Melody, and Rayna. Then we have a set of twins a boy and girl on the way. They will be named Reid and Aria. Our lives have been better than ever. We could not ask for anything else.
