Rafe and Chloe.

[ 1 year and a half later.. ]

@rafecameron: to my beautiful girls, forever and always.

It was a warm but kind of breezy day in Kildare. We sat at the beach, watching the surfers and eventually the beautiful sunset. It was by far our favorite thing to do, we spent hours upon hours at the beach. Rafe loved it especially, getting to see Lany exploring and trying to figure out the whole ocean concept in her little brain.

About a year and a half ago when John B and Sarah left we weren't sure where they ended up, a lot of the town folk were convinced they were dead. They believed that they couldn't have possibly survived the storm they had gone through on that night. However, we watched and held onto every last bit of hope we had. Every night that we didn't hear from them, we prayed and prayed that they were safe and made it to some tropical island, finally free of everything.

Lo and behold- three months later, JJ had gotten a tip that they were alive. As JJ explained to all of us on that night a year ago, he was woken up by his phone ringing which he didn't bother answering because he was "so high and sleepy." The next morning when he had checked the area caller it had belonged to Gregory Town, Eleuthera, Bahamas. Now that didn't really stick out to any of us but when he mentioned a voicemail with someone saying "bird" we all knew it was John B.

We had that small amount of contact with John B and Sarah, we knew that they were safe and over a few weeks we caught them up on life in Kildare. They wished they could've been here to meet Rafe and I's baby, they we're both so surprised that we had a little girl. Everyone was betting on it to be a boy. Especially JJ, he was so pumped to be that cool uncle and teach our son to shoot. Which I shot down real quick ( haha, pun not intended ).

"What you thinking about" Rafe interrupted my thoughts as he held Lany's hand. I admired the tiny human holding his hand. She was a perfect mix of the both of us, but she had my dad's kind eyes and every time we'd visit him he would boast about it. I didn't mind though, I loved watching my dad with her. It made my heart melt, she was loved by everyone.

"Nothing just enjoying this" I reached for her and hugged her to my chest, giving her kisses. She rubbed her eyes, "My baby's sleepy" I whispered to her in a baby voice, I slightly rocked her in my arms. I couldn't get enough of being a mom, I didn't know it was possible to love someone this much.

Lany coming into this world, really made life a little brighter from all the events we had occur months prior. Rafe was wrapped around her little finger, he was so caring for her and gave her the world ( I mean, ofc me as well ).

Once she had fallen asleep we packed our things and walked home. We lived a close walking distance from the beach, halfway between the Kook and Pogue divide. A few months before Lany was due, Rafe and I bought a small home. We had both worked our asses off to save up enough, me working at the Wreck as much as I could being pregnant and Rafe finding a job where my dad works.

We had made a life for ourselves despite all the problems and drama we had dealt with in the past. I couldn't be happier, We couldn't be happier together and everyday I get to see how far we've come and the little girl we're raising together.

authors note:

HI! Miss me? 🥺 So I got bored and decided to write a little special chapter to show their lives a short while into the future. Now it's the end of the book haha.

Forever my girl is on hold for now, working on something better in my opinion. See you loves soon  :)

Thank you for all the feedback and reads!
