A few months later

"I guess he's got to have an Italian name since he's going to be around a lot of Italians." Said Zara jokingly. I laughed as I stared down at Zara's baby. He was the cutest thing ever, with Zara's hazel eyes and a button nose. He looked exactly like Zara with tufts of sandy brown hair.

We were in the hospital as Zara was delivering her baby. It was quite hectic to say the least. She was in the shower when her water broke, but luckily Ethan was in the room. He had wrapped her up in a robe and brought her downstairs. He was shouting at people to 'do this' and 'do that' and soon everyone started panicking and was screaming and shouting. We finally managed to get her to the hospital. Ethan and I stayed with her inside the room, while everyone waited outside.

"So, what are you going to name him?" Ethan asked and she looked down at her baby for a moment. I felt happy as I looked at her. She looked so happy as she stared at her baby.

"Angelo." She said after a moment and me and Ethan looked at each other and beamed happily.

****

It had been a few weeks since Zara had given birth to Angelo and today everyone was taking a rest.

"It's been a crazy few months huh." Grayson said and I nodded tiredly. We were cuddled up in bed, and I was about to fall asleep because Grayson kept on running his hand through my hair.

Matthias was still in a coma, but I still believed that one day he would wake up, no matter how long that took. I wasn't about to have my brother taken away from me like that.

"Right get up. Let's go." He said and I frowned.

"What? No, I'm tired." I said and he rolled his eyes. He pulled me up and I dropped my head on his chest.

"Grayson no." I whined and he picked me up, bridal style, and went downstairs. He opened the front door and he set me down. I sighed grumpily and rubbed my tired eyes.

"Come on miss grumpy." He teased and ruffled my hair. I flicked his hand away, but linked our arms together and we both started walking. I thought that we would go in the car to go somewhere, but we walked past the garage and onto the massive field that was behind the villa.

"Where are we going?" I asked, confused.

"We're having a picnic." He said and I said, "Oh."

I turned around as I heard chatter and I saw everyone come out of the house with blankets and food.

"Did you organise this?" I asked and he nodded.

We were all sat down eating and laughing and a few others decided to go in the pool. Zara handed Angelo to me as she got up.

"Can you hold him for a moment?" She asked me and I nodded, while she went inside to get something. I sat Angelo down in my lap and held his arms out. He giggled as I moved him about gently and pecked his cheek. I leaned against Grayson and he wrapped an arm around my waist. I was holding Angelo's right hand when I felt something in his palm that he was fisting very tightly. I frowned as I uncurled his fingers and out fell a ring. I noticed something on Angelo's palm in tiny writing and my mouth opened in shock.

'Will you marry me?'

I looked up in shock and noticed that everyone was looking at me with a knowing glint in their eyes. I snapped my head to Grayson and he smiled at me softly. He picked up the fallen ring and got on his knee. He was about to open his mouth to say the words, but I jumped up in excitement, almost dropping Angelo. I quickly passed Angelo to Ethan.

"YES!" I screamed and practically jumped on top of Grayson. He almost fell back, but caught me and everyone cheered and laughed.

"You didn't let me finish my question." He said and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You can ask me that question however many times you like, my answer will not change." I confessed and he placed his hands on my face to bring me closer to him so he could kiss me. He slipped the ring on and I stared at it in amazement. The diamond shining in the sun made me happy and I couldn't stop staring at it.

"Wow, I'm getting married." I said, seeming to go off into a trance.

"Who knew Grayson would be getting married huh?" Sebastian said jokingly and Grayson slapped his head and everyone laughed.

"DID HE DO IT? HAS HE PROPOSED YET? I'M HERE, I'VE GOT MY PHONE!" We heard Zara come running down with her phone in her hand and Ethan laughed and rolled his eyes.

"I knew you would forget your phone so I took a video instead." He said.

"You were all in on this?" I asked and everyone nodded.

"MY BEST FRIEND IS MARRIED!" Screamed Valentina and I giggled, still not believing that I was about to spend the rest of my life with Grayson. The man I love the most.

I was so happy to be surrounded by people who loved and cared for me and I was excited to start my own family with Grayson. I still have hope that Matthias would wake up, I know he will. However for now, I'm just happy that I have a family.

Who knows what the future holds?

A/N:
And thats it. Black and Grey is over and finished. Ngl I was trying to hold off from writing the epilogue because it only hit me that this book was going to be completed and I didn't want that. It's funny how before I wanted this book to be finished, but now it's really sad. I can't believe that it has taken me more than a year to finish this book, with a bunch of writer's block in between. There were many times where I wasn't happy with the book and wanted to delete it. I do feel like I could've wrote this story better because I believe that it was quite rushed and I wanted to add in more Grayson and Iris moments, but I didn't get to. However, I'm happy that I carried on with this story. This story does need editing, which I will do in the future.

I hope you guys enjoyed Grayson's and Iris' story, but it doesn't end there. Yes, I've decided to write a sequel for this, however it will be based on Matthias and Caterina's story. You guys will see a few scenes with Grayson and Iris (hint: their wedding and many more).

I just wanted to say thank you for everyone who has taken the time to comment and vote. Your support means a lot and I love every single one of you. I will be writing more stories in the future, so keep an eye out for that! Thank you for taking the time to read my book! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Finished: 08/06/2020

Hope you guys enjoyed!
