Dearest Journal: 

This photo seems like it was taken so long ago, yet it also felt like yesterday. I can't believe our daughter is three already. On our way home with our beautiful daughter! 

Looking back on what we went through to get where we are now is incredible. We've had our ups and our downs. The Beast dying, getting our own place, my kidnapping, our engagement, the birth of our daughter. Quite the roller coaster if you ask me. But lately, we've been in an upward climb. Chloe being promoted twice in four years, us getting a better car but still keeping the Honda, and moving into a bigger place because we want to expand our family.

Unfortunately, the complications in my C section with Cymba resulted in an emergency hysterectomy. Meaning that Chloe would be carrying this one. I giggle when I try to imagine Chloe with a huge pregnant belly.

I was pretty depressed at first about having the hysterectomy. I mean, Chloe and I talked about having at least two kids, and I wanted to be the one to carry them while Chloe works. But Chloe has an amazing job that gives her paid leave, though she insists that she only wants one-to-three weeks off tops, depending on what type of birth it would be.

The date of this journal entry is October 14th, 2017, less than twenty-four hours away from my wedding. Tonight is the last night of my name being Maxine Caulfield. Tomorrow I become Maxine Price. I feel like every hardship I've been through will be left behind along with my surname. 

Maxine Caulfield was the girl with the power to rewind time, the girl who was the one to fuck up time so bad that it took a tornado wiping out a town to correct, the girl who was the two-time kidnap and sexual assault victim.

Maxine Price is not.

Maxine Price is the woman who had the power to rise above all of that, the woman who is stronger than ever before, and the woman who can kiss her wife's lips and look her daughter in the eyes without seeing a heartless monster. 

Maxine Price is who I'll be now. 

And Mark Jefferson?

He's worm food.
