Epilogue Part1


I washed the facial scrub off my face before turning off the shower faucet. Stepping out I wrapped my body in a warm towel and began drying off, before walking out to my bedroom naked. I picked out a plain bra and panty set then lotioned my body.

"Mommy! Mommy look I put on all by m'self!" My two year old daughter yelled barging into my room.

"Aww, you look beautiful Emauni!" I smiled picking her up and kissing all over her face. She looked just like Ethan, same beautiful hazel brown eyes, soft wavy hair, pink full lips. All she had was my ears and round facial structures.

"Thank you... you'm me match mommy?" Emauni asked in her little broken english.

I laughed a little and kissed her again before placing her onto my bed.

"Yes baby, we can match."

I looked over at her sparkly pink dress black tights and pink sparkly Madden Girl flats that I picked out last night. I turned on the tv to Nick Jr and then went to pick out my clothes. I put on a pink maxi dress and black blazer with gold zippers. I paired it with my black and gold Giuseppe wedges and some accessories.

"How do I look baby?" I asked spinning around.

"Wow mommy you secret princess?!" She asked smiling brightly.

I laughed and picked her up sitting her at my vanity to do her hair. "No I'm not a princess, you are. A beautiful gorgeous princess and never let anyone tell you otherwise. Okay?"

"Yes ma'am... can I get Scrunchies I no like bubboos anymore they hurt me!" She squirmed as I took her hair out its previous ponytails.

"Okay." I threw out the bubbles and took out a new pack of hair Scrunchies picking out the pink and white ones.

I brushed her hair up into a neat ponytail at the top of her head and made four twists in that ponytail with pink and white Scrunchies at the end. Her hair was very long even with the ponytail at the top of her head her twists reached past her neck.

"All done!"

She looked into the mirror and screamed making me jump and laugh at her dramatic tail.

"I soooo beau-ti-fool! I look as beau-ti-fool as my mommy!" She beamed.

I kissed her cheek and helped her off the chair.

"Thank you baby, you might be even more beautiful than mommy. You got all your good looks from daddy."

"Daddy really handsome, maybe God get jealous and take him away." She said tearing up a little.

I sighed and blinked back my tears sitting on the bed and pulling her onto my lap, she was now crying.

I wiped her tears with the pads of my thumbs and pulled out the picture of Ethan and I she loves so much.

"Your daddy was handsome. But God didn't take him because he was jealous."

Then..why..he..gone?" Emauni asked between sniffles.

I sighed looking at my beautiful daughter and the picture of Ethan in her tiny hands.

"Well baby, Daddy had to go help God make everyone as special as Daddy was. Daddy has a special mission up there." I told her wiping the rest of the tears off her crème colored skin.

"Okay mommy. Can we go now pwease."

"Yes c'mon grandma is probably on her way."

I picked Emauni up and grabbed the bag with her spare clothes and pampers, although she was already potty trained you can never be too sure. I locked and armed the house before going down the driveway to my 2013 Chevy Cruze strapping Emauni in and checking that she was secure before going into the drivers seat and putting on my seatbelt.

I dialed my mom's number and waited for her answer.

"Hey mommy dearest!" I greeted when she answered the phone.

"Hey baby, where are you guys?" She asked.

I put my phone on speaker and began pulling out the driveway. "We're leaving the house now." I informed her.

"Alright, well I'm on my way there. See you in a bit."

I drove about thirty minutes up the road to Fern's Funeral Home & Cemetery. I saw my mom standing at the gate so I waved her over and watched Emauni unbuckle her car seat seat. When she was out I helped her down out the car.

"Grandma!" She yelled running over to my mom who picked her up and kissed her cheek.

"Hey baby doll, hey baby how you doing?" She said kissing my cheek.

"Hey mama. I'm doing fine, Emauni's helping get through my days." I told her honestly.

"It'll get better, as long as you believe The Lord is gonna see you through."

"I know mama, let's go."

We walked down the gravel path through the gates and onto the green grass. For a cemetery Fern's was very nice. We walked over to plot 563 and Emauni laid down her drawing that she made. I sat with my legs to the side of me and so did my mom.

I ran my fingers over the engraving of Ethan's name and sighed.

"Hey Ethan... it's been a long year. But I-we," I said pulling Emauni on my lap. ",got through it."

"Emauni still loves that picture of you when you graduated college. You know, the one where your hair was long and wavy and you said you looked like a chico." I laughed.

"You were so handsome, hell you've always been. But wow baby you would've been 26 today, almost old. Happy birthday baby. I love you."

"Okay mommy it's my turn!" Emauni said putting her tiny hands over my mouth.

I laughed and sat her on my lap as she placed the drawing on the plaque.

"Daaaaddy! It's me Emauni! I two now so I big girl and your birf-day today so you big boy. I love you daddy you make mommy so happy when she'm talk bout you!" Emauni said smiling.

I giggled.

"Ethan honey, hows it going?" This is my mom speaking now she always starts like this.

"Two years, isn't that crazy. Well time is just flying by huh? I miss you Ethan you were such a good and kind hearted young man. We needed you in this cold world. Thank you for everything if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have gotten my baby back, or my grand baby."

She stood up and dusted her skirt off, "See you next year darling." She kissed both my and Emauni's foreheads before walking off.

"We love you Ethan baby. The year will pass by and we'll be back here updating you all over again." I kissed my two fingers and placed them on his headstone before gathering Emauni and walking back to the car.
