Years of pain.
Years of loneliness.
Until I met him.
He caught me when I fall.
He became my strength.
He showed me how to love again.
He's my loving husband.
"You ready?" asked Theo. I nodded standing in front of my past, the house looked the same when I left years ago. I carried a carton of his favourite beer and meat pie, today is our anniversary of our friendship on Australian day.
"Dad! Can you hold Nathanial while I get the decorations" said Rose.
"Of course I'll hold my grandson, now why won't anyone tell who coming today?" asked Gabriel. Rose smiled and given us the signal, quickly we went to the back yard where family and friends gathered.
"Welcome back" said Emily. I smiled and held Theo's hand tight.
"You two hide, the grumpy king is coming!" Rose joked.
"Alright, now tell me who's coming? what are you guys hiding?" Gabriel asked again. Emily laughed and told him he needs to wait patiently. Rose signalled us to come out, I tried to contain my tears and emotions but failed.
"Dad turn around" said Rose.
"I swear to god, if it's Jaxon scaring me again I'll beat this ass this time" Gabriel replied. The old man screamed when he saw me, Gabriel dropped to his knees and cried.
"Happy Australian Day" I said.
"I'm so sorry" I cried. Everyone remained silent watching our reunion.
"W-Who's this?" he asked looking at Theo.
"This is Theo, he's my husband" I replied.
"And you didn't f*cking invite us to the wedding!" he scolded.
"Oh we didn't have a proper wedding but we're next week" I replied. I handed him his favourite beer, a meet pie and our wedding invitation.
"Wanna be my best man?" I asked. Gabriel smiled.
"Of course" he replied.
