The Letter Series (Three In One)

LTT-Epilogue

Epilogue

Rosie's POV

I hand the pile of letters to my parents and then go back and sit next to Chirsm who grabs ahold of my hand and rubs his fingers across my knuckles in a comforting manner.

We both watch them, hand in hand, waiting for their reactions. I can feel myself starting to swear, as the seconds pass by. I don't know what I will do if they make me break up with Chris especially after what I found out last night.

I look down at my hands, and start to play with my fingers. I lean my head onto Chris's shoulder and just close my eyes. The past couple days have been so stressful and I am just getting too exhausted.

My eyes open the second u hear my mother sniff. My heart drops as I see my mother crying into my fathers shoulder, who was holding onto her, I realise that no good new will be coming now.

Tears fill my own eyes as the news settles in. Did I really think that my parents will accept me dating the guy whose father raped my own mother? Am I really that stupid?

I try to blink away my tears, but I just couldn't. Instead of the tears going away, the tears started to fall down my face as a unstoppable rate.

Chris holds me as I cry into his shoulder. I lift my head though when I feel a hand grab my shoulder, I turn to see my dad standing there looking upset. He pulls out his hand and I hold onto it and stand up.

"Chris, want to go have a little talk outside, let the ladies clean up"

Chris stood up and quickly pulled me into a hug. I close my eyes, my body completely relaxing against his body. I inhale deeply, the familiar smell completely surrounding me.

He then kisses my forehead and leaves with my father. I stand there for at least two minutes, debating on what I do now that I am alone with my mother. I don't know how to react around my mother since it is so awkward right now, it has never been this awkward between us.

I look at my mother, to see her staring at me. She had cleaned away all her tears, so at first look, it would seem like she hadn't even been crying at all. But since I know my mother so well, I could tell the signs of when she had cried. Her water line goes red, and her ears become red too.

She holds her arms out, gesturing for me to hug her, so I do. I fall into her arms and start to cry. I cry out all my emotions, all my problems, everything.

My mother just holds onto me as I cry into her shoulder. After at least ten minutes of us crying in each other's arms, I finally decided that, it's enough. No more crying, instead we should talk everything out.

"Mom, what will be happening now?"

I am scared for the answer, however I still ask. I have to know how my mum will be reacting.

"Nothing. Everything will be normal. It isn't his fault that, no offense, he is a son of a bastard"

My mouth drops the second she swears. My mother has never been one for swearing.

"Wait, do you mean-"

She cuts me off.

"Yes, nothing will be changing. Chris is still your boyfriend and hopefully my son in law soon"

I let out a shriek of happiness and jump onto my mother, tackling her into a hug. I hug her as hard as I can, and only stop when I hear a little oomph coming from her mouth.

"I can not believe it. I was so scared, I have been freaking out for so long, ever since I found out. I though you would force me to break up with Chris, and that if I didn't, that you would disown me"

I let it all out in one breathe, feeling so happy and relaxed after having so much stress and fear in me for so long.

"Is that why you ended up going to Hawaii, without telling us anything. And seriously, did you really think I would force you to break up with Chris, especially when I know you love him so much. Tell me, would I do that?"

I blush as I realize my my is not like that. She would never force me to do anything, and I don't know why I was so scared.

"Honey, I understand why you must be thinking what you are. But I am kind of over it. It was over twenty years ago, and with the help of your father, I am completely over it. Anyways, Chris can't change what has happened. It was his fathers fault, not his. In no way at all, would I say that it was his fault just because he is related to him"

I start to giggle as the news finally settles in. I am so happy. My mother then hugs me, and starts to laugh along with me.

"Anyways, any special announcements for, like a baby or engagement?"

My mouth drop.

"Well, I do have a announcement to make?"

But before I could say anything, Chris and my dad come back into the room, laughing and talking. They both then sit on the sofa across from me and Chris smiles at me, his eyes twinkling.

"Rosie, I know you wanted a romantic one, but you know me, I don't know how to be those romantic guys on those pages that you are always stalking on Instagram, but I want to have this over and done with. If you want I could ask again, later on but"

I gasp as he bends down on one knee..

"Rosie, I don't know how to do this. I have been writing out my paragraph which I will say to you while doing this a million times, but it never seems perfect. Nothing is perfect enough when it comes to you. You are probably the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me. I would have never thought that I would end up with you. I would always lie in bed, with you in my arms, thanking God for giving me someone as perfect as you to me. You complete me. Your my salt to pepper, peanut butter to jelly, your my everything. Please make me the happiest man alive by saying yes, that you will be my wife. My everything, my first priority, my life. The owner to my house, my car, my money, and most importantly me. So, what do you say, will you marry me?"

I jump into Chris's arms and start to cry. I knew he would be proposing soon, but not this soon. And not in the most romantic way ever.

"Yes, yes, a million times yes"

We both just stay there for a while, in each other's arms, until I remember that I also had a announcement to make.

"By the way, future husband, not only are you soon to be wedded, but soon to be father"
