Forbidden Love

epilogue

1 YEAR LATER

"Ooh, I got another one," I commented, chewing on my grape quickly so I could get my words out. "No fighting in front of her. If we have a problem we solve it while she's not home."

"Sweetheart, when do we ever fight?" Tobias rested his hands around my waist and I smiled as I felt his lips touch my neck.

In a way, his words were true. Ever since Olivia has been born we haven't fought. Sure, we might've fought over what we wanted for dinner or who was going to take out the trash tonight, but what normal couple didn't?

Pretty pink balloons and streamers were hung all over our new home, in Long Island. Our home was beautiful, quite large for just the three of us, but that's okay because I was hoping to get pregnant soon again. So far it hasn't been working out, but I wasn't about to get up. A small blush crept up on my face. Tobias wasn't ready to give up either, in fact, he's been trying to get me into the bedroom all day. But I couldn't today. Today was all about our little girl, who just turned one.

"Stop!" I squealed, pushing his head away from my neck. "The guest will be here any minute!"

"They could wait outside for a couple of minutes...or hours," he husky voice said. I felt his teeth nibble my ear and I shuddered from the intimate feeling.

"Tobias!" I hissed, fully stepping away from his body now. I could see him half smiling and half smirking as I began squirming around. "Make yourself productive and get the birthday girl."

Tobias rolled his eyes as he popped a grape in his mouth. "Do you really think I'm going to be able to get Noel away from her?"

I chuckled. "Well, that's Noel's problem. She needs to have her own baby and stop stealing mine!"

"Hey! I heard that!" Noel shouted from the living room.

"You were supposed to!" I shouted back, smiling.

Life was definitely looking up for not just me, but for everybody else around me. Julian, for starters, completed his residency training and he was now a doctor at Lakeshore Hospital. Scott graduated at the top of his culinary class. Though his family was still dissatisfied with his choice to not go in the medical or law field, they were quite impressed with him. Noel on the hand had trouble finding work, but she babysat Olivia while I Tobias and I were at work.

Where I was working now wasn't ideal; it was a small family own practice where I shadow a psychiatrist. One day I hope to go back to school and get my graduate degree. Tobias, however, was prohibited from fighting until they completed conclusive testings. Boxing was in his blood, though, so instead he became a trainer at a gym not far from home. We both weren't doing what we loved, but it was worth it every time we saw our baby girl.

"Dada!" Olivia exclaimed, her chunky legs wobbling as she walked to him.

The smile on Tobias's face lit up the whole room. Olivia was definitely a daddy's girl. Her first words were dada and she has yet to say mama. Tobias would assure me that she would say my name soon, but I knew he was secretly thrilled she hasn't. Olivia might be a daddy's girl, but he was definitely a bigger sucker for her.

"Livy!" Tobias exclaimed back, opening his arms for her to come into.

She just learned how to walk, resulting in her falling every now and then, but it looked like she might reach Tobias in one walk today. I could see Noel smiling from the doorway.
