Three Years

Chapter 24 (The Final Chapter)

*Don't play the song yet. Thank you and enjoy the final chapter!*

*Aphmau's POV*
I wipe my sweaty hands on a towel, staring in the mirror. "Ow!" I shout. "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that." Cadenza said, trying different hair styles. "It's alright." I said, sighing. "Done!" She shouts. "It's so beautiful. I love it!" She smiles. "Thank you, now let's get your dress on."
She brings me into the changing room, helping me get on my wedding dress. "You think he'll like it?" She nods, "You look amazing Aphmau, he definitely will." I smile.
There's a knock at the door. "Who is it?" Cadenza shouts, walking to it. "It's Garroth. Can I come in?" She opens the door. I look at him, tears filling his eyes. "Are you alright?"
"I just.. can't believe it." I tilt my head. "What do you mean?"
"You're getting married Aphmau.. it's great. And you look, wow.." I smile. "Thank you Garroth."
"Anything for you."
"How cute!" I hear a voice from outside the door yell. The person walks in, waving. "Travis!" I walk to him, giving him a hug. "It's been too long." He nods, "It really has. I'm sad that I couldn't come to the parties."
"Why couldn't you?" I ask. "I had to take care of a few things." I nod. "Well, I got to go help Aaron. I'll see you out there!"
"Bye!" He walks out, shutting the door. "Mommy! Guess what!" Lilith shouts, swinging the door open. "What?"
"Dmitri kissed my cheek!" I laugh. "Really?" She nods, smiling. "He's so cute! Maybe him and I can get married like you and Daddy are!" I hug her. "Maybe."
"Dmitri is too old for you Lilith!" Aaron yells. "Aaron! Leave! You aren't aloud to see me!" He groans. "Fine, but let me talk to Lilith."
"Through the door."
"Dmitri is six and you're three. He's too old." She pouts. "Age is just a number!" I laugh. "Sure. Whatever you say." She skips out.
I continue to get ready, putting on the final touches to my hair and makeup.
Katelyn walks in. "Hey Aph. You excited?" I nod. "I'm a little nervous though."
"Don't be. It's going to go great." I smile. "Yeah. It is!"
"You ready?" Garroth says, walking over to me. "Yes."
"Good luck!" Katelyn shouts, running out. I smile. You got this.

*Aaron's POV*
I stand at the alter, waiting for her. Zane comes in front of me, adjusting my tie. "Thanks." He nods. I hear the music start to play and Alina skips down the aisle, tossing flowers. I watch the doors open and see Aphmau and Garroth. She looked so beautiful.
She got to the alter and Garroth kissed her cheek before walking next to me. "You got this." He whispers. I smile.
Aphmau stands in front of me, and I grab her hands. "Let's begin with the vows. Aaron, would you like to go first." I nod.
"Aphmau, when I first met you, I never expected to get this far. I was only there to help you, nothing else, but now.. it's so different. You are the reason I wake up in the morning, my reason for living. You made me the happiest man alive, even when times were dark. I regret leaving you. I regret lying to you. I know we are past that, but I think it needed to be said again. I love you so much and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." Tears filled her eyes. I wiped them away. She cleared her throat, getting ready to speak.
"Aaron, you are so important to me. I remember every little moment together and can't wait to have more. We've had some rough times in the past and I know they aren't easy to forget, but look at us now. I'm here about to marry the love of my life. I want to wake up everyday to you and my wonderful daughters. I can't believe after everything that's happened these past three years, I'm with you. I love you." I wiped my own tears away.
"If anyone objects, please speak now it forever hold your peace." No one spoke. "Alright, do you, Aaron, take Aphmau to be your wife."
"I do."
"And do you, Aphmau, take Aaron to be your husband."
"I do."
"Now the rings." Dmitri walks over, holding them. I grab Aphmau's and put it on her finger. She grabs mine and puts it on mine.
"You may now kiss the bride." I pull her into a deep kiss. I hear the cheering from the crowd and smile.

I sit at the table, watching her dance with the kids. I laugh when she almost falls. "Hey!" She yells. I walk to her. "You would've been fine."
"No, my hair! Cadenza spent a very long time on it." I ruffle her hair, then she does the same to me.
Levin and Malachi walked over. "Hey Dad!" They said. I wave, hugging them. "I'm so happy for you mom!" Malachi said, kissing her cheek. "Thank you." Levin smiled. "Me too!" She hugs them. "Oh food!" Levin says, running off. Malachi rolls his eyes. "See you in a little mom."
"Bye."
"I got a little present for you, babe." I smirk. "Oh really? What is it?" I pull her over to the dance floor. "Play the song please!"
"On it!" Dante yells. I clear my throat and start to sing.
*Play music :)*

Grandma and grandpa painted a picture of sixty-five years
And one little house
More than a memory
More than saying I do
Kiss you goodnight's and I love you's

Me and you baby, walk in the footsteps
Build our own family
One day at a time
Ten little toes, a painted pink room
Our beautiful baby looks just like you

And we'll build this love from the ground up
Now 'til forever it's all of me, all of you
Just take my hand
And I'll be the man your dad hoped that I'd be

And we'll build this love from the ground up
For worse or for better
And I will be all you need
Beside you I'll stand through the good and the bad
We'll give all that we have
And we'll build this love from the ground up

This life will go by
In the blink of an eye
But I wouldn't wanna spend it without you by my side
The cloud are gonna roll
The earth's gonna shake
But I'll be your shelter through the wind and the rain

And we'll build this love from the ground up
Now 'til forever it's all of me, all of you
Just take my hand
And I'll be the man your dad hoped that I'd be

And we'll build this love from the ground up
For worse or for better
And I will be all you need
Beside you I'll stand through the good and the bad
We'll give all that we have
And we'll build this love from the ground up

Someday we'll wake up
With thousands of pictures
Sixty-five years in this little house
I won't trade for nothing, the life that we built
I'll kiss you goodnight and say I love you still

And we'll build this love from the ground up
For worse or for better
And I will be all you need
Beside you I'll stand through the good and the bad
We'll give all that we have
And we'll build this love from the ground up
From the ground up

Aphmau hugs me tightly. "I love you so much Aaron."
"I love you too."

*Aphmau and Aaron*
This is the start of a new and amazing life.
