"Mommy, Mommy" I open my eyes to see my beautiful curly haired son. My smile grew bright. "Crazy stuff happened last night. Daddy was a bad guy and Jay saved the day. He said you helped. Are you a superhero mommy?"
I chuckled and looked around the hospital room. "Where's your sister honey?" I questioned patting for him to sit next to me.
"Jay took her to the bathroom." He said climbing over me to sit down. "How's your arm?" He asked.
I looked over and noticed it was wrapped up. "I honestly don't know." I trailed off. I have no feeling in my arm.
"I'm happy your okay mommy." He hugged me tight. Hurting my arm a little but I didn't care. I hugged him back.
"Mommy!" Michaella screamed and ran in and joined the hug.
"Kids" I said once they pulled away. "Remember that story I told you at Disney?"
"It's ok mommy I figured it out." Michaella said. "Your princess Leah and Jayvon is the Prince and..." she looked down. "Daddy was sir Xiba." She said sadly.
I gave her a tight hug. "Sweetie it's ok. Jay is going to be there for you and your brother in ways your father wasn't."
"Your right." Jayvon said from the door as he walks over to us. "I'll treat you guys like my very own kids cause now... you and your brother are prince and princess because your mom is a Queen. My Queeny." He bent down and kissed my forehead making me blush.
"I told you he makes you happy." My kids said at the same time then laughed.
"I know you'll treat mommy good. Since you came she's been smiling a lot more" Michael said.
I smiled I can get use to this family. Jake didn't really ruin my life. He gave me two beautiful kids.

2 weeks later
We were all over the news. Companies paying us to tell our story. In the room in the basement they found a necklace of fingers including his parents. He was charged with murder.
"Turns out the bullet went straight through my arm." I told Ellen.
"And how do you feel knowing you were with a crazy man" she says.
"Well at the end of the day Ellen he is the father of my children. Even though he didn't act like one I would never remove him from my kids life. That's a choice that they make on their own."
Jake is now in a mental facility. I try to take the kids to see him but they don't want to.
"How's the divorce?"
"The papers are in I signed them last night. It's official." I smiled.
"Are you happy to spend the rest of your life with Jayvon." She said crossing her legs.
"Being with Jayvon as my happily ever after has been my fantasy for about 20 years." I laughed.
"Well lets play a game" she clapped her hands and we both stood up. She walked me to the center of the room. "Alright we're gonna blindfold you and your gonna listen to the audience on what they tell you to do."
I laughed "ok" I said while I was being blindfolded.
They told me to do silly stuff like; spin 3 times, jump, clap. Then they said to take of the blindfold.
When I took it off I saw my kids standing in front of me dressed up. Michael in a suit and Michaella in a poofy dress.
I smiled "you guys look very beautiful and handsome." I rubbed Michaels hair.
"Say yes" they screamed.
"Huh?" I was confused.
"Turn around" they screamed again.
I gave a questioning look and turned around slowly.
Jayvon was on one knee. And in his hand was the same ring from 5 years ago. Behind him was the fountain he proposed to me before.
Then the video of him proposing to me 6 years ago started to play.
When the video was over he spoke. My eyes are tearing. "I know I shouldn't be nervous but it's just something about you that makes me act different. I love you Queeny, and I think now through everything that happened you see I'll do anything for you. Will you marry me? Don't worry I got approval from your dad and your kids."
I smiled and turned around to them.
"SAY YES!" They screamed again.
I laughed "Of course I'll marry you King." He put the ring on my finger and spun me around as everyone cheered.

Jayvon's contract with the army was up and he was signed to be a Miami Heat player.
I still wanted to be a stay at home Mom and teach my college students online like before. But I was offered a modeling job for Vogue.
My kids were still Michael and Michaella and did not hesitate to call Jayvon Daddy. He treats them so good.
And as for their real father, he was sent to prison. He keeps calling trying to talk to the kids. Also he keeps getting beat up but that's irrelevant.
This is my happily ever after. Different then I thought as a child but I wouldn't change it for the world.
