My Greatest Love (Lizzie X Y/N)

18 - You Are My Strength

Y/N pov

That was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life was send my kids away for their own safety. I have spent months without them and I have sent them away after seeing them for the first time.

"Are you ok baby?" Lizzie asked me softly.

"I don't know. I feel horrible for sending them far away after they just got me back." I said sadly.

"I know baby but they will understand that it is for their safety." She reassured me.

"I just hope they won't hate us." I sighed as I lay back on the bed.

"They won't hate us. After all of this is over and done with. They will be home with us safe and sound." She said softly as she held my hand in hers.

"I missed you so fucking much." I said with a sigh.

"I missed you more." She said sadly as her eyes glossed over. "You might need to get more cologne."

"Why?" I asked her with a raised brow.

"Because I  may have used it all because all of your clothes were losing their smell." She said with a shy smile.

"I love you." I told her as I opened my arms for her

"I love you too." She said before she pressed a soft kiss to my lips before resting her head on my chest.

"Will you still love me even with these scars?" I asked her shyly.

"I will always love you even if you got turned into a toad." She smiled at me. "These scars are a symbol of how strong you really are. They show how much courage and strength you possess."

"You are my strength Elizabeth." I whispered to her.

I was extremely happy that I had finally managed to tell the girl of my dreams my feelings for her. And the best part is that she feels the same way. We have both been too frightened by the chance of rejection and losing someone important in our lives.

"Hey Y/N." Robbie greeted me as I sat at my desk.

"Hey Robbie." I smiled at him. With how happy I feel right now I can't wipe the smile off my face. "How is Andy?" O asked him

"She's doing great. We are finally engaged." He told me with a bright smile

"It's about damn time." I smiled as I hugged him tightly. "I call best man."

"That's not even a question." He smiled as we walked to the briefing room. "So what is going on with you?"

"Well as you know, I'm no longer engaged. And Lizzie and I are going to try out a relationship since we both confessed our feelings." I told him with a wide smile.

"It's about time. You've been hung up on her since forever." He teased me. "And you thought you could move on."

"Hey, you don't need to call me out." I bumped his shoulder before we entered the briefing room.

I was a nervous wreck trying to figure out what to wear. Y/N was taking me on our first date and I haven't even chosen what to wear.

"Clay please help me." I groaned as I flopped back on my bed

"She said to wear something comfortable and casual." He said as he looked through my closet. "Here we go." He pulled out a blue blouse with black jeans for me.

"Thank you so much." I said as I took the clothes and got changed.

"That is a great look on you." He smiled as we heard the door bell go. Thank god that my mum is out right now.

"God I'm so nervous." I said as I patted my jeans down.

"I know but go and get your girl." He pushed me out of my room. I timidly made my way to the door and answered to see Y/N dressed in a blue flannel with a white Tshirt and black jeans.

"You look amazing Lizzie." She smiled at me as her eyes looked me up and down.

"You look good too." I smiled back at her with a blush on my cheeks. She held out her arm for me which I took as she led me outside.

I saw how hard it was for Y/N to send the twins away, even though it is for their safety.

"What did the twins mean when they said they just got the both of us back?" She asked me as she held me.

"Since you went missing and everyone was working so hard to find a lead on your whereabouts, I kind of went inwards and threw myself into work. I couldn't really look at the twins since they reminded me of you." I told her tearfully. "I just couldn't face them without this heavy weight on my chest slowly pulling me down. I didn't know if you were dead or alive."

"Hey it's ok." She reassured me as she held me tightly. "I'm back now. And as soon as I can get out of this damn bed and work on getting that bastard behind bars for the rest of his life I will. Then we can be a family again. Just the four of us." She said with a soft smile 

"I love you." I whispered as I pressed a  meaningful kiss to her lips

"I love you more." She smiled as I rested my head on her chest again.
