"One more big push," the doctor says as I push with all my power squeezing Katarina's hand. "I can't do it anymore please," I beg while sobbing, he should be here. "You can do it Elora, one more you got it," Katarina sprouts out words of encouragement but I really want to gauge someone's eyeballs out.
I push three more times and break into a dripping sweat before I hear the cries of our baby. "Is she okay?" I ask as the doctor turns and hands her to me, "yes, she's perfect, have you picked out a name?" "Valentina Elena Romano, but ill call her Ro." I smile as I look into her eyes.
They look just like his, she's beautiful.
I look into her eyes and see a glimpse of us of the hope that she holds.
*4 years later*
"Mamma," Ro says for the fifth time, which makes this the fifth bedtime story. "Yes, Angelo?" I whisper while stroking her cheek, "can you tell me something about my pappa," my heart sinks to my stomach.
I talk about him occasionally, I want her to know she had a dad who loved her very much. "Sure, you know how I call you Angelo?" I ask, and she nods. "Well he called me his angel but he was always mine, goodnight Ro." I kiss her forehead before exiting the room.
"I just put Marco to bed, goodnight Elora," Katarina says walking past me, Marco is her son. She and Silas are married and nauseating but I love them. I walk into my office where his diary rests. He left it to me, when I got home from the hospital after having Val it was on our bed with a 'read me' note so I did.
It has everything in it, every memory just everything. He only wrote on one side of the page so the other was blank and now I write on the blank side, it's how I talk to him in a way. I only do it once a month because it's not healthy or something.
I open the book while adjusting myself in the chair, I open it to the page I was last on. It's the last page, I knew this was coming but I am not ready for it. I pick up my pen and take a deep breath, I owe him this.
'There are not enough words Lorenzo, and there wasn't enough time. Before I tell you about her, I have to say thank you, you gave me everything I ever could've wanted, passion, love, desire, a fulfilling love that consumed me, you breathed the air back into my lungs and I cannot thank you enough.
Now for Valentina, I don't write about her enough, and that's selfish, but it's hard. She's perfect, god you would've loved her, she's taking piano because she found yours and she's not half bad, she looks just like the both of us and her smile, it always makes me think of you.
I just thought you should know that I've got her, and she's got me. I took her to the beach house and at first, it was so hard for me to be there, I couldn't stop thinking of you. She played in the sand and the water and I realized I was making new memories, and that that's not a bad thing because our memories will always be there, forever embedded into my mind, heart, and soul.
This was our infinity, ill see you in the beyond my one true love.
I will live not only because of you but for you, so thank you, Lorenzo and goodbye.'
AN: I will make another epilogue explainging more of what happened to each of the characters but I want it to be good and long so it may take a while, tysm for the support with this book, I love you all :)
