The Past Comes Back

"forever be the man i love"

Y/n's POV 

I ended up sleeping in Sebastian's room that night. At around one in the morning, I had woken up for some reason. I looked over at Seb, who was still sleeping, he looked so calm like that. I kissed his cheek and looked out the window. The moon was gleaming so bright and the clouds were so wispy that it looked like smoke in the sky. I was soon captured in the image, I did not focus on anything going on around me. I then felt hands around my waist and Sebastian's chin resting on my shoulder. 

"It's pretty isn't it?" he asked me. "It's very beautiful" I agreed with him. "That's why I chose this room...it reminded me of how the moon shone when we went on our strolls together" he explained to me. 

My eyes went wide...how could I forget about that. I looked back at the moon and I started to remember; I started to remember all of it, all of those precious memories that built our relationship. I looked at Seb and I rested my hand on his cheek and gave him that  look.

The look that showed him how much I loved him. I didn't need say a single word...my eyes said it all. 

"You know...I never got that dance with you" Sebastian reminded me. "You're right...I made that promise to a man named Sebastian Moran and he's still the same man, no matter how many mistakes he makes. He'll forever be the man I love" I said. "So that's a yes?" he asked me. "What do you think, you fool?" I asked him. 

Seb pulled me out of bed and turned on the phonogram. 

"May I have this dance?" he asked me. 

I held out my hand for him to hold and he took it without hesitation. My hand found its way onto his shoulder and his hand made its way to my waist once again. My other hand held his and we gazed into each other's eyes. I smiled softly at him and he returned the smile. Here we were...in a bedroom at the Moriarty's dancing past midnight. From the outside, it would never be anyone's perfect fantasy, but it was perfect for me. I've waited so long for moments like this. 

"Look at you...in that little slip, no one would dream of having a dance like this" Sebastian teased. "Oh please...you're not in the most fashionable outfit either" I reminded him. "I always dreamed of this...I never thought this night would come. In my head, this moment was completely different" he explained to me. 

I was going to say something, but Sebastian was faster than me. 

"Although...I like this version better. In the flesh, holding you close" he smiled at me. "I couldn't imagine this with anyone but you" I said to him. "I want to be with you forever Y/n" Sebastian said to me. 

The next day: Third Person POV

As everyone was eating breakfast, Louis was gathering the mail.

"Y/n this is for you" he handed an envelope to her. 

She took it from him and opened it: it was from the general. 

Y/n my dear, 

You've worked so hard for the British military longer than I've even been here. If anyone deserves a break, it is you. With that being said, I am ordering you to step down as head nurse, you've trained five amazing girls and if they're anything like their mentor, I'm positive they'll do amazing things. Don't think of this as being fired, you're honorably discharged. You've made great history here and your name will always be said with honor. Enjoy your time away from us. I don't want to see you for a long while now. Enjoy your life and explore the world.

Along with the letter, there were two photos. One was of a couple and a baby in a stroller. That baby was Y/n and the couple was her mother and father. She turned it over and saw a note on the back. 

I think this belongs to you 

The second picture was of Y/n's girls, they were in uniform and they looked like they were ready now. 

"...so what now?" Albert asked Y/n. "I'm not sure yet" she replied to him. "Well Sebastian could propose...just a suggestion" Fred said. 

All eyes were on Moran now. Beads of sweat started forming on his face. 

"Come on guys, that's a lot of pressure on one guy" he said. "You've known her since you were a teenager!" multiple people started yelling at him.

Five years later

Sebastian eventually proposed to Y/n and they got married. A year later they had a daughter and now they have another child on the way. Y/n became the "head" of the Moriarty household. She didn't have the last name Moriarty, but without her, the house would be up in flames. 

It had been a long day for everyone and Y/n had just put her daughter to bed and headed to her room. She rested her hand on her stomach and rocked her head back. Sebastian came into the room and sat down at the end of the bed. He put Y/n's feet in his lap and started massaging them. 

"You know...this was worth the wait" he said to her. "It took you long enough" Y/n said. "Hey...stuff like this takes time you know!" Sebastian said. 

Y/n laughed and had a smile on her face. She got closer to him and kissed him. 

"It really was worth it" she said to him. 

The End
