Over the next two weeks, James and I haven't left each others side. We visited Isabella's grave and then we went to the court house to get a marriage license. It came in yesterday and we have an appointment today to be married.
I step out of my room, finding him sitting on my couch. He's in his military uniform and he looks extremely hot. "Ready?" He looks up and his jaw drops.
"You look so beautiful." He gushes.
"Thank you. You look rather handsome." He kisses me softly.
"Ready to go, Mrs Barnes?" I smile at the name.
"I am." We head out, making our way to the courthouse. I'm rather excited to marry him. But I'm reminded he'll be leaving again. Thankfully I'll see him for Christmas but I still don't want him to leave.
We walk up the stairs and he opens the door for me. "Hi, we have an appointment today. It's under Barnes." I tell the lady.
"Right this way." She smiles and leads us to a room. A judge is already in the front and he welcomes us.
"Ah are we ready?" He asks.
"Yes." We nod. We stand in front of the judge, holding hands. All I see is him. I'm hardly paying attention to the judge, only answering when required. This man... he's the love of my life. He has cared and loved me since the day we met. I would not have survived losing Isabella without him.
"Do you have vows?" The judge asks. We both look at him and shake our head. We decided we'd write each other letters instead. "Then, do you Evangeline Jones take James Buchanan Barnes to be your husband?"
"I do." I say and his smile grows. James repeats after the judge and says "I do."
"You May now kiss your bride." James cups my face and kisses me. I smile as our lips move, the feeling is his lips giving me goosebumps.
"I love you." He mumbles. "Mrs Barnes." I smile at my new name.
"I love you, Mr Barnes."

After we left the courthouse, Steve bid us goodbye and now we're sitting in the park. James got us some wine and a little cake from a bakery. It isn't much but I don't want anything else.
"Here. My letter." He hands it to me. I smile and hand him mine then lean against him as I open his.
Sunflower,
I know these past few weeks have been hell. I will never forgive myself for not being there for you but I am forever thankful Steve was. You are so strong and I know, one day, you will be an amazing mother. I just pray I'll be a decent father, you might have to kick my ass a few times if I'm being honest.
Now that you're crying (sorry), let me continue. The first day we met, I knew you were the one. Your laugh, that smile, those eyes... I was hooked. I still am and forever will be. You're my entire world, my oxygen, my reason to live. I never thought I'd find someone to love me but you have proved to me I did.
I never told you this but after I walked you home that first night, I nearly knocked down Steve's door. I swear he wanted to kill me because I didn't shut up about you for nearly two hours. And yes, I got the ring the day after I asked you to be mine. One day I'll get you a rock, I promise.
I feel like I'm rambling but oh well. I promise to forever love you, cherish you, and protect you (even though you're stronger than me). Thank you for loving me.
Your husband (I love that) Jamie
I'm in tears by the time I finish. When I turn to him, he's smiling down at me, tears also in his eyes. I kiss him softly then hug him.

I tare open her letter, wrapping one arm around her as I read it.
Jamie,
Hi my love. I'm glad we agreed to write our vows because I don't think I could get through this without sobbing. Hell we both know I am while writing this.
Anyways.
The day we met will forever be engrained in my mind. It was cheesy as hell but I wouldn't want it any other way. I was hesitant to let you in but you were so easy to talk to. It felt as if we had known each other for years. You became my best friend. That night you walked me home, I didn't want you to leave. I also wanted you to kiss me but I understand men don't do that on the first date.
You quickly became my everything. I can't do life without you and it scares me because one day, I'll have to. I wish I was normal. Now that I've found the love of my life, I don't want anyone else.
When I found out I was pregnant, I was so scared. But once it sunk in, I became excited. I want a family with you. But God knew it wasn't our time. I know one day you'll be an amazing father and I can't wait to experience that with you.
My beautiful boy... oh how I love you. Those blue eyes, that smile, that laugh. My kryptonite.
Your wife (finally) Sunflower
I sniffle and wipe my face as she looks up at me. Her lips meet mine in a short kiss then she hugs me.
When she lets go, she leans against me and just looks at me. Man I'll never get tired of those eyes. "I love you." I kiss her nose.
