It's been two years since the wedding and everything is great.
I quit my job in order to spend more time with the kids,Joey and Lindsay,his girlfriend are expecting their second child, Claudine got married to Chad,who got a certificate of accreditation in IT and now works for the government as a professional hacker and Dylan got married to Athena a year ago. And she's pregnant again.
My dad got into the love boat again and met an amazing chef called Elaine.
"When's daddy coming back?" Liam asks and fiddles with my glasses.
"He'll be back in like an hour's time. Why?" I ask him and he shakes his head.
"Nothing. I'm just wondering why he took Lukas and Noah out and not me." He say and puts on my glasses.
"I'm sure it's something special for you." I smile and boop him on the nose.
Liam's relationship with Elron had gotten better and they spend more time together than they did before.
"Hmm..okay." He says and takes my glasses off.
An hour later,the door closed gently and the happy laughter of my husband and sons fill the hall.
I'm in the washroom. Teary eyed and staring at my reflection in the mirror.
"Hey,I'm bac-why are you crying?" Elron asks when he sees me crying.
"Nothing,I'm fine." I hurriedly wipe the tears and smile at him.
"No,I know you better than that. What's wrong?" He asks and inches closer.
I sit on the counter and hide the test in my hand. He notices it and tried to take it from me.
"Let me see." He says gently and holds my hand.
I nod and hands him the pregnancy test.
My eyes widen when Claire hands me a pregnancy test. I know how hard she's been trying since she found out she couldn't conceive again.
"Claire.." I begin but she places her index on my lips to silence me.
"Babe,please just look at it." She says and I nod.
"What?!" I yell and she flinches.
"Sorry..but how is this possible?" I ask ecstatically. She shrugs and smiles at me.
"Is this true?" I ask again,she nods and shows me an three more pregnancy test kits,all showing positive.
"I'm even shocked." She says and breaks down into tears.
"I love you. So much." I kiss her cheek.
°°°
The dining hall is filled with laughter and cheers as well as shouts from little children.
"But my job is pretty boring." Claudine says and caresses her swollen belly. So soon,a year has passed.
Anne,my little daughter crawls towards her brothers and claps her chubby little fingers when they make a funny face at her.
"She looks so much like you." Elron says and places his hand around my waist.
I smile and stand on my toes to his him on the cheek.
"She's our little miracle." He says and smiles at Anne.
She reminds me of my mother,that's why I decided to give her her name.
"Stop eye fucking eachother and sit down so that we can eat." Dylan says and once again,Athena hits him.
I like this. I love my life.
Eight years ago,I wanted to end it all. I wanted to be forgotten,dead even. I didn't want anyone to remember the name "Claire Dotson". But he changed it. He changed me.
He changed my view on life,he wiped away my tears. He took the broken piece of pottery that was me and made it his own masterpiece.
He changed me. And I'll always love him because of that. I now understand the term true love.
It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be yours.
I found mine. And I'll be forever grateful for that.

I'm in tears. Well not literally but I'm happy.
I'd like to thank God, Myself,and S120amakye.
Especially the person. She was the person who gave me the most morale when I needed it.
I'm sad to say this is the last author's note for this book but I hope to see y'all in "Choices of Love" it would mean soo much for me.
Once again,thank you,all of you. Especially those who voted,it means so much to me.
Bye, 👋😊. Till we meet again.
