Love Me

Epilogue (Pt. 2)

"Shawn I'm gonna fall." I squealed, holding onto his hand tightly, my other hand holding my 4 month baby bump.

He had told me that he had a surprise for me and had blindfolded me too.

"You're not. I'm holding you." Shawn chuckled.

Around a minute or so later, Shawn stopped me and removed the blindfold from my face. I blinked at the sunlight before my eyes adjusted.

"Is this—" I spoke, my sentence trailing off.

"-where we got married? Yeah." Shawn confirmed, grinning. He held my hands in his tightly.

"You remember how our marriage wasn't really our choice." Shawn bit his lip. I nodded.

"And well it was rushed and not what people wish one of the best day of their lives to look like.." Shawn explained.

"Where are you going with this..?" I questioned him.

Shawn left one of my hands only holding one of them and knelt down on one knee. I gasped in surprise and confusion.

"When we first got married we didn't want it. Neither of us did. We didn't love each other at all. We didn't even know each other. It was for technical purposes only." Shawn explained.

"So.. Nat.. I'm gonna ask you now.. will you marry me? .. again?" He spoke, presenting a beautiful ring from his pocket.

I teared up and pulled Shawn off the floor.

"Of course I'll marry you again shawn." I sniffled and he sighed in relief, slipping my old ring off and slipping the new one on.

"This will be our new life. We'll have married for love. And it's going to be one of the best days of our lives." Shawn muttered and placed a loving kiss on my forehead and then a kiss on my growing stomach.

"I love you, you crazy dork." I laughed and Shawn chuckled.

5 months later

"I can't believe my bestie's getting married.. again." Emma squealed, pinning on my veil.

It had been about 5 months and after Shawn had proposed to me again, we had begun the preparations right away. We loved each other and wanted to be married for real. Not that we weren't before. But it wasn't for love before.

"Getting married the second time without getting divorced is calming. Because I know he won't and can't run out on me." I chuckled making Emma laugh.

"There. All done." Emma said looking at me.

"Okay, hair looks good, dress is fantastic, heels look as uncomfortable as ever but still gorgeous, and the bride..." she spoke, looking at me with a large grin. "Looks as happy as ever."

I laughed, "I am."

"Its time." Aaliyah's head popped in to announce. My dad came in and held out his hand.

The traditional 'Here Comes the Bride' played as I walked down the aisle. I looked at the end to see my handsome .. husband staring at me with pure love in his eyes. I smiled at him and grinned. Once we reached he helped up the small step and then held our hands together.

The priest spoke his words which I paid no attention to as I was too lost staring in Shawn's honey brown eyes.

We spoke our long handwritten vows to each other. Shawn, obviously being the jokester he is, made everyone laugh.

After our vows were spoken we exchanged our rings.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife.. you may kiss the bride." The priest spoke.

Shawn pulled me forward crashing me into his chest (but still careful of my bump) making the crowd laugh. He chuckled before leaning in and connecting his mouth with mine. The crowd cheered and applauded.

We both walked back down the aisle hand in hand. The reception went smoothly and Shawn and I reminisced as we danced together.

It was when we were leaving when I felt a pain in my abdomen making me hiss and liquid landed on the floor.

"Are you okay?" Shawn asked me worried.

"I think my water broke." I spoke breathlessly.

Everyone started to worry.

"Okay I'll take her to the hospital you guys come in the other cars. Aaliyah drive." Shawn said handing her the keys to the other car.

By the time we reached the hospital the pain had began to feel worse.

The nurse said I was just due and took me into the labour room immediately. As the doctors prepared to get the baby out, I held onto shawns hand tightly.

"Baby, you're gonna be okay." Shawn calmed me down as I panted breathlessly. I nodded.

"Okay mama, you're ready to push." The doctor announced.

"Ready to start this new chapter in our life shawn?" I asked him breathlessly.

"Ready.. because you love me."
