Our way to Forever (Completed)

Epilogue

Jenna
One and a half years later

Setting the last decorative pillow on the bed I twirl around and survey my new bedroom. The room is decorated in soft shades of gray with white accents. Little windows above the bed, with a stunning mirror on the opposite wall makes the room seem brighter and more spacious. My favourite part of the room is the reading chair placed in front of a large window.

Today has been exhausting but it's worth it seeing everything come together. Mostly I'm just glad the move is over and I can get off my feet. Lost in my own musings I don't hear anyone come in, so I startle when I feel arms wrap around my waist. His familiar laugh tickles my ear as he pulls me against his body.

"How are my girls doing today?" He ask, his smile evident in his tone, as he gently splays his palm over my swollen stomach.

"Good, ready to get some rest. Moving is exhausting but I love our new home." I reply turning to kiss my husband.

Yes, husband! Nate and I got married almost 8 months ago. Giving Nate a chance was the best decision I've made so far. Since that day, after I was released from the hospital, Nate has been perfect.

Many times I've let my insecurities and the past cloud my judgment but Nate has just continued to love me. I still can't believe he loves me and that he's mine. But he's proved it to me and the world around us and continues to do so everyday.

We continued to live in the same house with Cassie and Tyler after we got married but we knew we wanted to be on our own sooner or later. When Tyler proposed to Cassidy, Nate brought up giving them the house as a wedding gift and us buying or building our own house.

We started house hunting and not long afterwards I found out I was pregnant. Nate was ecstatic and was intent on find us the perfect home. When we finally found one it took a while to renovated, design and baby proof before we moved in.

Pregnancy was kicking my butt, especially with the hassle of moving. Lucky for us we have the best friends and family, many of whom are helping us move in today. It took a while but Nate's mom has finally come around. She wasn't entirely happy for us when we got married but she knew there was nothing she could do about it.

When we told her I was pregnant she started acting like a different person. And when we announced that we were expecting a baby girl the ice queen actually cried. We aren't the best of friends or anything but at least we talk to each other now.

As for our baby girl, she'll be here in just a few short months. Nate and I can't wait and I know Cassidy is dying to meet her goddaughter. We already have her nursery set up, her name picked out and Nate's parents have even started setting up a trust fund for her.

Nate pulls me toward the bed and sits me down on the edge. He pulls of my shoes and massages my feet for a bit before moving on to caressing my baby bump. That's something he stared doing since he found out about the baby. He also love's talking to her.

"Avery Claire Parker I can't wait to meet you and finally get to hold you in my arms. I love you and your momma so much. You two are my whole world." He whispers then kisses my stomach.

Of course when his eyes meet mine I'm bawling like and idiot. I wish I could say it was all just pregnancy hormones but the man is just so damn sweet it gets to me. He gently grips my chin with one hand and wipes away my tears with the other as he recites a part of his vows the never cease to bring a smile to my face.

"I love you with all I am Jenevive Parker and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you through all the crazy ups and downs, however many babies you're willing to give me, our crazy families and the myriad of stray animals you decide to save along the way to our forever."

The End

*****************

Well it only took me forever to finally finish but it's done. I didn't think people would actually read any of my work but I'm so immensely grateful for the people that did. Even if it was only one  chapter.

It's not being read it's about being written- adapted quote by gerkin from Sydney White.

If you did read the whole thing I really hope you liked it. Please for the love of carbs will someone give me some feedback.

Love always
