Hidden

Epilogue - Without You

"Angeles Castillo, I struggle to remember life without you."

I smiled as he said these words, "It all seems like a lifetime away."

On what would have been German and Maria's wedding anniversary, I recieved a proposal and today, a year after the day I returned to Buenos Aires, we were married.

I held German's hand as the photographer snapped photos of us all. Violetta and Marie were my older bridemaids and Valeria and Flor were my younger ones. Olga and Ramallo featured in the pictures too and we all stood for photos alongside one another, including Leon, who in the last few weeks had decided to also pop the question to Violetta.

We stood there, united as a family, but I also felt guilty, as I was harbouring a secret from my family. Despite being relatively new, it was still a secret and  I felt obliged to tell them, so before we headed to the reception, which would ultimately become even more revealing soon, I pulled German aside.

He looked at me with his deep brown eyes and I knew that I could tell him, that this time, I wasn't alone.

"I need to tell you that yesterday, I didn't feel so good, so I went to the doctor." I said taking his hands.

"Angie, are you okay?" asks German worried.

"I'm fine really, but I need to tell you something about Valeria first for you to understand."

German nods, I can see the concern in his eyes.

"I didn't know I was pregnant with Valeria until a week before she came. I had stomach aches so I went to the hospital and I found out. It was a whirlwind and I didn't have time to consider anything."

German watches me intently and his eyes sparkle as if he knows what is coming next.

"Yesterday, I went to the doctors with similar stomach aches and it seems its happened again." I say happily.

German smiles like a child full of wonder, "How long do we have? A week? A few?"

I laughed, "Today."

"We have today? Do you mean..." German's eyes grew wide, "Tomorrow?"

I nodded, "Tomorrow."

German pulled me into him and kissed me passionatley, however it was rudely interrupted by a certain madam.

"Ewwwww, Mummy and Daddy are kissing! Gross!"

I turn around and see Valeria in her little bridemaid dress. She looks so beautiful, until I see the massive dirt stain along the side.

"Valeria! What did you do to your pretty new dress?" I asked.

Valeria looked down and giggled.

"Oh. That was Violetta, she was chasing me." she says with a giggle.

I shake my head but German is laughing and that only encourages her so I nudge him.

He looks at me and I break into laughter aswell.

It's in this moment that I realised I needed this, that I shouldn't have hidden away and that I'll never go back.

Tomorrow is a new day and it brings a new future.

Tomorrows future promises happier times and I will make sure that I don't hide that.

Et c'est fini!

Thank you alll soooooooooo much!

This is going to be a long thank you after such a long book!

This has been my biggest book yet! It's had the most chapters, but also the most votes and comments! I've had lots of new readers too!

1000 VOTES ON THIS BOOK ALONE THOUGH!! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!

My favourite part is always reading the comments and some of you never dissapoint! It's lovely to hear 'please update' and 'great chapter' but what I've really enjoyed about this book is the creativity of your comments!

There is always humour involved and I love seeing you all comment your opinions! They make my day!

I love writing and I'm so honoured to have completed my 5th book after only two months on here! Everyone is always so supportive and you all inspire me to update daily!

Also, a huge thank you for 2,500 Votes! I'm in shock!

But, all of this is in the past, so what is in the future?

Firstly, I intend on writing more on my Dielari ficton 'It's complicated', I don't update daily but I'm hoping to update it around once a week from now on as it's kind of an extra :)

Secondly, I will be publishing a short Leonetta story very soon! It's not going to be very long, maybe around ten chapters, but I wanted to give it a go with something small first!

Thirdly, the release of 'How I like my tea: Morning Memoirs' I was origionally calling it another name but the story is taking a different approach so needs a new name, It will be the fourth book in the 'How I like my tea' collection and possibly the last. I think I'm probably the only person who has completed a trilogy never mind a collection of four although sequeals to our fanfics are becoming more popular. This will not be released immediately! Sorry!

These will be in the immediate future but then I will be doing things such as:

In one ear- A story from Olga's point of view

Forbidden- A Diegetta story (because there are a few tomaletta, a few leonetta, but we need to spice things up)

And another Angie book of course! Although it's currently top secret!

Anyways, I babble!

I hope you liked this book and thanks for everything!

Much Love xoxo
