Last Chapter : Leyton's POV

Here is the last chapter. *wipes tears.  Enjoy!

******

I only ever considered very few and selected people as friends. One of them being, Calum, my high school and college best friend. Why am I mentioning him? Well, Reid and Kai are both semi-assholes, while Calum is the resident nice guy.

When we were in highschool, he got so interested in a girl that he actually waited for years to court her. I shouldn't be one to talk considering I waited several years for my wife, too, but Calum lost his head over that particular girl. Long story short, the girl ditched him and disappeared never to be seen again. And Calum? He was never the same.

"I'm afraid I lost my heart to her, Ley. They said a man only gets to fall in love once. I'm afraid I gave her my heart and let her run away with it."

I remember stopping my self from laughing. It was only one girl. There were billions in the planet.

However, those words resonated in my head for years for some reason. How can one girl have that much of a power anyway?

Now, almost ten years later, I finally understand. I would never be the same without Kristina in my life.

My mornings will never be the same without seeing her smile, my car will never be the same without the hint of her scent and my house will never be a home without her in it.

I've always function according to my priorities. That being, my wife, my work and my family. Now though? It's just my wife, my Kristina and our family. Yup, I'm even more obsessed with her, she snatched the first and second place.

I didn't care if I had to attend important meetings with clients, if my wife was scheduled for a check up, I'd happily drop everything to be with her.

We cleared and renovated the nearest guest room from our room to turn it into the baby's room. It used to be Sil's room but she was very happy and supportive about our decision. Well, she can sleep downstairs if she visits.

My wife happily picked out everything from the rugs to the curtain, she puts so much thoughts in every little detail. All blue, of course. But when she looks at me, her eyes shining in happiness, I fell even deeper in love with her.

She made me the happiest man on earth a couple of months later.
Nothing could have prepared me for my child. When I heard her first cry, I decided I would do everything to protect her.

We welcomed Taliah Rossi in the early morning of June 2. She looked so tiny, so breakable and so much like my wife. My life was changed forever.

"She's perfect. Thank you." I said to my Kristina as I kissed her sweaty forehead.

She gave me a soft, exhausted smile. "I love you." And then she passed out.

And before I could panic, the doctor reassured me that she just needed the rest.
Still, I didn't let her out of my sight.

Both her family and mine were at our house when we got home. We celebrated, Taliah being their first granddaughter.

At the end of the day, Kitty and I lay on our stomachs staring at our little girl.

"She looks a lot like you." She said.

I paused. Studying Taliah's small face. She does but at the same time, she doesn't.

"It's your face I can see on her." I replied.

She laughed. "Hindi kaya. Tingnan mo yung ilong niya tsaka lips. I also think she has your eyes."

"But that's your face." I argued even when I realized she was right.

She leaned in to kiss me. "I love her so much, Ley. I love that when I look at her, I will see us." she said softly.
