Cortez's Runaway Wife

Epilogue

(I don't know italian so I will probably get some words wrong, but please don't get mad I'm getting my translations off of Google.)

One Year Later:

*Olivia*

  I was humming softly as I moved around the bakery kitchen when I felt arms wrap around my waist and someone nuzzle my neck leaving soft kisses.

  "Tonio," I giggled at the tickling sensation. "What are you doing here?"

  "I'm taking Il mio amore,(my love) out for a surprise," he said turning me around and kissing my nose. "Now got get your things so we can go."

  "I don't like surprises," I whined but did what I was told. "Can I get a hint?"

  "It's for my little family," he said and I rolled my eyes climbing in the car. "Do you trust me?"

  "Yes," I smiled at him. "Why?"

  "I'm going to blindfold you so you can't see the surprise just yet," he said holding up one of Gracie's hot pink bandanas. After he cover my eyes I felt the car move, "So Gracie's staying at my parents house tonight since she's already seen this surprise."

  "Okay," I said confused and we fell into a comfort silence.

  "How was you're appointment with Karapoluna?"

  "Okay," I shrugged. "Said be been doing good enough with not having panic and anxiety attacks that he's going to take me off some of my meds and my appointments can go back to every two weeks."

  "That's good," Antonio said and I felt him grab my hand. "I've been meaning to talk with him for a couple weeks now but I'm been busy with this surprises."

  "Are we there?" I asked when I felt the car stop.

  "Yes, give me a minute and I'll help you out." He said and I heard that car door open and close before my car door was opened and I was gently set on my feet. "I'm taking the blindfold​off but stay facing the way you are okay?"

  "Okay," I hugged blinking my eye as they adjusted to the light.

  "You have a gift from the from a few of the guys," he said and I gave him a confused look. "They found out you're birthday was last month and wanted to get you this after talking with Gracie."

  "What did that do?" I groaned only guessing what Gracie told them.

  "They bought you a Teacup Yorkie," Tonio said and handed my the tiny puppy. "From the papers the pet shop owner gave them he doesn't have a name, all his shots are up to date and he's six months old."

  "He's adorable," I squealed hugging him to my chest. "I've wanted a little yorkie puppy since I was sixteen and never had the time or money to go get me one."

*Antonio*

  "What's his name?" I asked smiling at Olivia as she gushed over the little furball.

  "Brownie," she smiled. "Cause he looks like one."

  "Brownie fr the pup and Cupcake for the kitty," I chuckled shaking my head. "Want to see the rest of you're surprise?"

  "Yes," Olivia smiled and I turned her around somewhere could see the house.

  "I know you don't want to live in a huge house that's empty most of the time so a couple months ago I bought this and have been remodeling it with the help of Gracie and you're friends. It got finished yesterday so I hope you like it."

*Olivia*

  "Antonio," I whispered swallowing the lump in my throat.

  "Come on and I'll give out a tour," he smiled pulling me into the house. "There's three bedrooms, three and a half baths, an office den, basement, and a medium sized storage room that could be turned into a hobby room or nursery since it's close to our room."

  Smiling I looked in everyone room seeing how it was done realising that it was decorated like my dream home.

  "Gracie did the colors and decorations for her room with the help of Alessa and mom," he said showing me the soft pink bedroom that had butterflies on the ceiling. "Come on and I'll show out our room."

  Nodding I followed him up a couple stairs and he pushed a door open, I walked in front of him I to a long room that was painted in. Soft beige color with custom-made dressers going down one wall and two rocking chairs and little table across from them under a window, and at the other end of the room was the bed under two sky windows.

  "I fixed this room don't had the sky windows so you could look at the stars while in bed," Antonio whispered resting his head on my shoulder. "Do you like it?"

  "I love it," I whispered back. "I love you."

  "Ti amo la mia amata regina(I love you my loving queen)," he whispered back.

"Tonio, I have a question."

  "What is it?"

  "How would you feel about renewing our vows?"
