Once Upon A Pink Suitcase|✔️

Alternate Ending: Ryan

i know Ryan isn't a super huge character in my first version of OUAPS, but I am going to rewrite and add more of him back into it. i will rewrite this too, once i finish that. but for know, this is how I think it goes.

"Where is Ryan?" I mutter aloud, he was supposed to be here by now to accompany me to dinner. "Hmm." I pace back and forth. He shouldn't be late, this is one of my most important dinners. It is the one which has the first Elite elimination.

"Hi." He burst in breathless. I got held up at the gym.

"Okay." I say staring into his blue eyes. I will never get bored of that. His brown hair is kinda messy. I reach my hand up and try to tame it, but no use. "How was your day?"

"Fabulous. I had a wonderful talk with my favorite selected."

"Ahh yes and who is that?" I say jokingly.

"You." We both laugh, Ryan basically stands outside my door a lot, or inside with me. He plays board games with me and my maids during free time, or teaches me card games. We talk about our family a lot too. He is really caring, and devoted.

I know it's so wrong, but he is so cute. It's like a piece of my heart wants him even though I know I can't have him. I might get eliminated though, who knows. I take his arm and we make our way to the dinning room. Will looks at me, then to him, and back at me. This isn't a good sign.

"Saige, can I talk to you for a minute?"

I look to Ryan, "sure, see you later Ryan." I turn back to Will. "What's up?"

"I should be asking you that, you seem so distant."

"Oh, um, sorry?"

"I am also going to mention your particular liking to your guard."

"Oh, that."

"I wanted to give you a heads up, but you will be eliminated tonight."

"What?" I say taken back.

"I need someone who will give me the attention I need, and who is completely devoted. You don't seem like that person." He says flatly.

"Okay," I say processing the news.

"Please sit down."

"Okay." Why is he so cold all of the sudden? There is no way he could of found out I kissed Ryan... it was a one time thing and we both swore to secrecy.

Maybe, this is a good thing. Maybe I can test what Ryan and I have. Maybe, this will work.

*******************************************
"Ryan?" I say, walking over to him after dinner.

"Yep?"

"I was eliminated."

"Seriously?" He says genuinely surprised. "I thought he was going to keep you until the end."

"I hoped at the beginning, but now I don't know if I would have said yes."

"What do you mean?"

"Clearly there is something in between us, and I don't know if I would gave lived with myself if I didn't even try to see where this would go."

"Okay, what are you saying?"

"I want to try an us Ryan."

"I would like that a lot."

*******************************************
So, two years later, there is an official us. Legally and everything.

It has been ten years since I was eliminated, eight since I married Ryan, and six since my first child was born.

I have four children, and I am stopping there. Our eldest Addilyn, she is six years old and looks just like me, with big blond curls and Ryan's navy eyes. Then a set of twins, boy and girl, Andrew and Emme, they look more like Ryan. They are identical three year old twins, with chocolatey brown hair and navy eyes. Then the baby of the family, who is truly a baby, at nine months old. Her name is May Rose, and everyone absolutely adores her.

Ryan does not work at the palace anymore, but is now a police officer in New York County. We decided to stay there, and live outside the city. We own a cute little house, with five bedrooms, and a simple modern inside. Ryan and I drive to work in the city together, work from seven to five, then come home. I work at a hospital, in the urgent care wing, as a nurse. It's a busy life, but I am really happy. Right now Abigail is with us as a live in nanny, and soon she will find what she wants to do an move out. She has been out of college for about a year, and is looking for jobs in teaching or child medical assistance. Something with kids. Owen is over outside Boston, with his wife and four year old Dylan. He visits fairly often.

Ryan and I figured out all of the bumps along the way, but we found more in common and I found more that I love about him. He is so sweet and such a great father. I am overjoyed about how this turned out.

We were very forgiving with one another, trying to work out all the kinks. But soon we figured out a good schedule.

It's a different happy ever after, but a good one.
