2 Months Later
These past 2 months have been a havoc.
When we found Lucian he was already dead. He killed himself once he knew that we found his hidden location.
Aurora went through such a difficult depression stage where I had to bring her to the hospital a couple times from loss of blood from her cutting herself. It was a very fearful experience but thankfully now she has been recovering amazingly. Her ribs are fully healed. She does still have some pain when it comes to her head but it's minor.
She finally has her smile back after everything that happened with the miscarriage and being a target.
It still hurts to know I never met my baby girl.
Due to the baby being so young they did a blood test to figure out her gender. And it was confirmed that she was a girl!
I would of had a baby girl.
We ended up putting our baby's ashes in a cremation urn. So we can always have our child near us. We did end up choosing a name for the baby, we named her Ivy Nicole Costello.
Ivy represents fidelity and eternity.
As time went by it was a struggle but me and Aurora are fighters we never gave up.
And our baby will forever been in our hearts and mind as we continue this journey together.

At this moment me and Aurora are getting ready for a big family dinner with mine and her family. We haven't done anything family related since her mother gave up on her.
Aurora is extremely nervous to see her mother again but that's understandable after everything her mother has done.
I look over at Aurora to see her in a summer dress.
Can she get anymore beautiful?
I walk over to her and pull her into a hug. These hugs are what I always look forward to when I see her. The way her body fits with mine. The warmth of her body.
She's a women of many colors.
She has so much potential in life.
We walk out of my bedroom and go down stairs to see my mamma in a Black blouse and white dress pants. As Leonardo matches her with a black suit and white tie. Leo walks down in jeans and a dress shirt.
This is new he always wears a suit.
Alessandro walks down with Annabelle. They have became even closer as the days go. The affection they show for each other is aspirational.
Annabelle is in a pastel green dress with black heels as Alessandro is in a black button up with black slacks. I look down to his shoes to see green socks on.
Well that's one way of matching.
We all say our compliments before we all leave to this big dining place to meet up with everyone.
While me and Aurora drive down to the place I lay my hand on her thigh.
She's nervous and I can just feel it.
She looks over at me before she starts to play with my ring.
Little does she know she will have a ring to play with soon.
We pull into the parking lot to see Ashton and Emily walking in. I hop out of the car and walk over to the other side to help Aurora out. We link arms as we walk into the building.
When we walk in there is this huge table sitting in the middle of the room as there are waiters and other workers rushing around to get where they need to be.
There's a room with a couch and a few chairs in. A room with a pole table and more.
I walk over to our seats that have our name set on the table. We sit down right across from Emily and Ashton.
"Wow this place is actually cool." Aurora says as we all agree with her.
Emily speaks up and says, "How do you guys think this family gathering thing will go?" I look to Aurora to notice she's actually biting her nails.
I grab ahold of her hand and said, "Stop doing that baby, everything will be fine." She looks up at me and says, "What if she try's to do what she did last time?" I shake my head, "Then we can leave and forget all about her."
We all just converse for a little bit until everyone sits down. I stand up and being Aurora into the living room that is actually quite beautiful if you ask me.
While Aurora is looking at the entrance to see Keilanni and Atlas walk in I go on one knee and said, "Aurora?"
She turns around and says, "Oh my God, holy shit!" I smile at her as she puts her hand over her mouth in shock.
"I have loved you for so long and nothing has or will ever change that. Sure we have our ups and downs and we've had some horrible things happen to us but having you by my side is what completes me." I watch as Auroras eyes start to water.
"Aurora Blane Blake, will you do me the honors of saying yes to being my wife?"
She nods at me as tears start to flow down her face, "Yes, Yes!" I stand up and kiss her lips before I put the ring on her ring finger. She wraps her arms around me as I pick her up and spin her.
Once I put her down we walk back over to the family. I smile and hollered, "She Said Yes!" Everyone starts to cheer as I sit down but when I look over to Aurora she's still standing.
Aurora clears her throat as everyone goes quiet again, "I actually have one more thing to add-"
"I'm pregnant!"
Ashton hops out of his chair and runs over to Aurora as he pulls her into a big hug, "Congratulations sis!" I smile at that.
We're going to have a baby.
A miracle baby!
I stand up out of my seat and pull Aurora into a hug.
No one knows about her miscarriage.
She holds onto me as we slowly sway side to side as we hug.
She is going to be having my baby. The child that we made together.
Aurora has been through so much and I won't allow her to go through that again.
I was planning on going back to college after she got better but now i'm staying there's no way i'm allowing her to be alone through this pregnancy.
She's the love of my life. She makes me a happier and better person.
I'm proud of who she has became. She is strong but gentle. She has came such a long way from when I first met her at the Anderson's house when I was 15.
She is no longer in His Shadow.
She has finally found her worth after everything she has gone through. She has finally learned that she is enough and that no one can tell her other wise.
