Epilogue

Eight years later

Alice Anderson

Who would've thought I'd be the queen of making pancakes one day. At least that's what my four year old daughter calls me. "The queen of making pancakes".

"Can I have one more?" She asks softly, her beautiful green eyes staring at me and Tyler. The eyes I feel in love with. I'm so glad she got his eyes. I prayed for it the whole pregnancy and me and Tyler used to have small bickering sessions about what would look better. Definitely his eyes.

"One, but after that you'll go wash up." Amelia nods at her father's words, taking another pancake with her small hand. We both watch our daughter, proud of what we created, she's beautiful.

I feel Tyler's hand on my thigh, rubbing gentle circles on it. I look down at the wedding ring around his finger, the silver band which is the symbol to our love and our beautiful daughter we created together.

"I could take her with the bike to kindergarten." I glance at him, a sharp glance. "Come on, babe. I'll be careful, I promise. Nothing ever happened again after..."

"After you broke your ribs? Oh, Anderson if you don't drive carefully I'll make sure those ribs are broken again but not because of an accident." I see his adam's apple boping as he stares at me but quickly after a smirk spreads across his lips.

"Okay, Ms. Anderson. I'll be careful just for you and this beautiful girl we created." He kisses my forehead softly, his lips lingering there for a second longer. "I'm done!!" Amelia shouts and gets up from the table.

"Let's wash your hands and face, princess. Then we'll get you dressed." Tyler scoops her up and puts her over his shoulder, she's squirming and giggling as the two of them make their way to the bathroom.

Seeing Tyler as a father is better than everything I could've ever imagined. He's born for this. I never thought I'd see him this happy...

After some time the two of them come back. Amelia is dressed in a pretty denim dress with cute tights and boots. Her hair is up in two buns. Tyler started learning doing hair styles for her so he could make her hair.

Amelia always tells everyone proudly that her dad made her hair and I can't complain, it looks really good. "We're off. I'll be back soon." He smiles and places a kiss onto my temple. I kneel down to Amelia's height.

"Have fun, Lia. You look pretty. Such a pretty girl." I smile, tickling her tiny stomach and she giggles. "Bye, mommy! I'll have lots of fun!" She takes her father's hand and they make their way out of the house.

I decided to get dressed too. Showering and doing my hair. After I'm completely done I walk back into the kitchen, Tyler is sitting by the kitchen island, sipping another coffee.

He lifts his gaze from his phone and looks at me. "You look so beautiful, gorgeous. As always." He walks towards me, his strong arms wrapping around my waist.

"I brought you some tulips. I know how much you love them." Tyler nods at the vase with the pink pulips on the kitchen counter. I gasp, smiling widely at him. "They're beautiful. Thank you so much, love." I give him a kiss.

"Of course. Anything for you, gorgeous." He smiles, his eyes sparkling with all the love he has for me. "I think have a surprise for you too." I say, grinning a little as he raises an eyebrow.

"Close your eyes." I try to hide my excitement as he closes his eyes. "Now, hold out your hands." He does as I say, holding out his hands to me.

I take a deep breath and place a photo into his hands, my heart beating hard against my chest. "Open." I manage to choke out, he opens his eyes again, eyes darting down to the picture, an ultrasound picture.

His eyes go wide as he stares at me. His eyes darting between me and the picture. "No way..." He whispers. "Baby number two?!" He asks, still looking at the picture.

"Yeah, baby number two." I can't hide my smile any longer, he scoops me up into his arms, planting kisses all over my face as I laugh.

"I can't believe it. We're having another baby!" He spins me around, sets me back down and cups my face. "Oh I love you so much." His lips touch mine in a soft and slow kiss as we both pour all our emotions into this kiss.

Tyler's hands come up to rest on my stomach, his thumb rubbing circles on it. "I get to see you all glowing and beautiful again, don't get me wrong you always look beautiful but pregnancy... Gorgeous." I laugh softly.

"Thank you, babe. Thank you for giving me another wonder. I love you so much." And he kisses me again, pouring his love for me into the kiss.

I don't regret a single second of building my future with him. He's the best that ever happened to me.
