Kill My Love

Kill My Love: This is just the beginning

It's been five years since I put an end to my revenge, I am now a university graduate and am happily working as a journalist. Zane got his dream career as well, He started his own company a few months ago and is the proud CEO of it, the business is doing really well and I'm happy for him. His father still does his illegal gun trafficking business even though Zane has clearly left being an assassin. 

We all learn from our mistakes well...I learned that trust is a given privilege and I should pay close attention as to who I give this privilege too. The relief I felt when he fell off the roof was un-describable, it was as if all my prayers were answered my god and I thank him to this day for making strong enough and brave enough to finish it.

Zane and I have been dating for five years now, I think it's time for him to pop the question now but he hasn't yet and didn't show any signs of doing it any sooner which is kind of disappointing but it's fine I mean, we're still young.

---------------------------

"Hey mom", I said as I walked towards her glass coffin that still lay in the middle of the church. "I did it! I helped Annalise finish Dominique".

Tonight is my date with Zane, we haven't seen each other in a while because we're both very busy with our everyday lives so I'm really excited about tonight. By 7:00 pm he was at my door.

"Hey you look great", he said pulling me in for a hug and kissing me gently on the cheek. "Ready to go", "yes".

Two hours later I was ready to get out and stretch my legs but what I didn't expect was to be at a dock with a yacht waiting for us.

"Zane, what is this?", "the beginning to a killer night".

He took me by my hand and we both ran up until he stopped and picked me up bridal style and carried me onto the boat, once I was back on my feet we both separated he went to and start the yacht and I went to the front, staring up at the city thinking how beautiful it looked, all the city lights were on and a beautiful sunset added even more beauty to the lovely sight.

 Then I felt Zane's arm wrap around my waist and I leaned my head back on his shoulder and he laid a gentle kiss on the side of my neck. "I still don't understand, the yacht, the lake, what is going on?", I said in deep confusion. "It's all a surprise, but the only thing I can tell you, miss Hales is that your life is about to change". "Oh really Mr.Salvatore", I replied while forming a smirk with the end of my lips.

 "If you keep behaving like this I'm going to have too...", "don't even think about it Zane, I'm going to jump off this boat and you can go and find some other chick to pass the time with", "mmm doesn't sound like a bad idea". As soon as I said that I literally gave him a pound in the chest with my fist, then before I could pull away, he touched my hand on his chest and just stared deeply into my eyes as if the rest of the world stopped watching us.

 "I was just joking you know, you're the only one for me, Annalise and I can't imagine being someone else's". I was in awe, how did I get so lucky. A few minutes later, we arrived at our destination, we got off the boat and Zane guided me to wherever our date was supposed to be held. "Close your eyes", he whispered in my ear. 

"Why do I have to close my eyes?", "It's a surprise". So I closed my eyes and he put his hands over them just to make sure I wouldn't peek. When he removed his hands and I fluttered my eyes open and I suddenly became speechless. The are was really nice, It was a small garden decorated beautifully with Christmas lights hanging on a fountain in the center of the garden and the thing that stood out the most was that the whole garden was filled with only one type of flower that that was...roses.

There was also a circle table with a chair on each side for Zane and me. "Shall we?", he asked. "We shall", I replied. He pulled my seat out for me and I gladly took it, after Zane took his seat a waiter came and I was surprised to find that he actually hired a waiter for a place like this one. The evening went really well, filled with laughter, conversation, and a romantic mood. We finished our meals which were absolutely delicious surprisingly, Zane said that he had another surprise waiting for me. He stood up and offered me his hand and then guided me to a stone platform that was facing the lake, not to mention the beautiful sunset gleamed in the warm summer evening.  

"Annalise Hales, when I first met you, I knew you were a keeper. You are someone who has been through a lot of life's toughest challenges during your childhood. And I just want to let you know how brave you were and are. To me, you are brighter than the light of day, you have shown me a side of myself that I didn't even know I could possess, you have guided me with you on a journey I will never forget. I love you with all that is in me and so...". He let go of my hands that I had no idea he was holding onto and pulled out a plum-colored velvet box and bent down on one knee, he opened the box and said...

"Annalise, I need you in my life so...will you marry me". 

I couldn't believe it, just five years ago we were strangers to each other, then he asked me to be his girlfriend even after I had been so selfish and now...he's asking me to be his wife. Because I was so in shock and so happy the only thing that I could possibly utter out was a...

"Yes!".

------------------------------

Fast forward six months, I am now happily married to Zane and have moved in with him. Zane still keeps in touch with his dad and now that I am a part of his family, we all visit each other more often. But little did I know that this...was just the beginning. 

One cool fall morning I woke up feeling quite nauseated, I turned my head towards the alarm clock resting on the bedside table, it read 9:00 am. How had I managed to sleep so late?!, I though to myself. I got up and went downstairs to start breakfast and coffee. As the coffee started brewing, I pulled the items I needed from the fridge. After the coffee was done I immediatly poured myself a cup and drank it all. After the chicken was done cooking I served myself some and took a bite, after a couple chews I found myself running like crazy towards the bathroom and puking it out. I felt awful after that and strange thing was that I wasn't coming down with anything. Just then Zayn came in and asked what was wrong? I told him that it was nothing and that he doesn't need to worry but he insissted that I go and see a doctor. That following afternoon I went to go and visit our family doctor, Ann.

"Hello doctor Ann", I said as I enterd her office, "I am Mr.Salvatore's wife, Annalise Salvatore".

 "It's nice to meet you Mrs.Salvatore, now what is it that I can help you with today".

I told everything that happend, from getting up late to running to the bathroom. 

"Mmm, I see", she said quietly, "Mrs.Salvatore I hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions just to make sure it's nothing serious".

 "Ofcourse not", I replied.

"Have you been having any strange...cravings latley?".

"Surprisingly, yes".

"Ok,have you been feeling a bit tired and exhausted these past few days?".

"Yes, now that I think about it".

"Okay, let me ask you this, have you taken a pregnancy test yet?".

"Now why would I...No!".

"Mmm, follow me please".

She then took me to a room where she handed me a test and I took with shaking hands cuased by the fear of just thinking that, "what if I'm actually pregnant?!". She pointed towards the bathroom and I knew what I had to do from there. After I was done I waited and waited impatiently dying to now what it was going to read. But the wait was soon over when Dr.Ann came out with the test in her hands and said,

"Congratulations Mrs.Salvatore, your expecting".
