"So, I just wanted to tell you that I heard what you said earlier. I am so sorry. It was a big mistake, one that I never should have made. I don't know what I was thinking, or if I even was thinking. I have no excuse. I shouldn't have done it. I messed up, big time. I know I don't deserve a second chance with you, and I wouldn't blame you if you never spoke to me again. Honestly that's what I deserve. But I'm really hoping that you would give me a second chance. I want to be with you, and our daughter. You two mean the world to me. I realized that you and our baby are all I need, all I want. I should have realized that sooner. I'm so sorry for hurting you, I'll never forgive myself. It makes me feel terrible knowing the pain I caused you. But I just wanted to tell you that I want to be with you, and I hope you'll consider it. But whatever decision you make, I will respect it." He says, all in a rush. I take a deep breath, trying to ignore the tears forming in my eyes. He shyly reaches over and takes my hand. "Amaria? Please say something?" I let him take my hand, and the tears just fell down.
"Conrad, I love you. I've always loved you. I want you, and so does the baby. We both need you. And I want to be with you. More than anything. That's why, if you can guarantee and promise me that this will never happen again. If you can do that, then we can be together, and I'll give you a second chance. Because I love you, and all I want is for us to be a family and be together. That's all I want." The look on his face is pure joy.
He presses his lips to mine, and the kiss makes me feel whole again. I missed it, more than I ever actually realized. All I want, all I've ever wanted in moments like these is to keep kissing him, to never stop. All I want, all I care about right now is him. All I care about is being with him. And as we kiss, I completely forget about all the drama with Julie. I don't know how. I can't really explain it. There's just some kind of energy, it pulls me in. It makes me forget everything, even if it's only for a split second. At this moment, I realize that I wouldn't care if the world burned down, as long as I had him. He's all I need; all I ever will need. He is my lifeline. "Thank you, Amaria. Thank you for giving me another chance, it means the world to me. You mean the world to me; our family means the world to me. Thank you for giving me another chance to do things right. I love you so much."
"I love you too." I whisper before pressing my lips to his. We kissed for a little while. "Well, I better go talk to Janie and Sam now." "Ok, yeah. And please tell Sam I said I'm sorry for being a jerk to him, he was just trying to help you and I realize now that he cares about you." Conrad says, hugging me close to him. I hug him back, enjoying the comfort in the familiarity of it. Finally, I open the door. And there is Sam and Janie. Janie is in tears, sobbing, saying, "That was so romantic. Oh my god! Aww that was so sweet!!" Sam looks at us, the look on his face is saying how awkward the situation is. "I take it back, I don't want to be involved in any form of girl stuff anymore." We all burst out laughing, so hard tears came to our eyes. Janie looks at us, and the tears in her eyes come even faster. At that moment, I know everything is going to be ok. With a war raging, enemies lurking at every turn, none of it matters. We have each other, and that's all we need. We are a team, we are a family. We discovered the truth. The truth is: Love is enough.
