Now, for me, there is no before my children, and for the rest of my life, I will be grateful that such a monstrous mishap turned into the best thing to ever happen to us. I can never express how being married to October has changed my life.
EPILOGUE
OCTOBER
SEVEN YEARS LATER
Sitting up, I rub my eyes, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. It is then that I notice a note on his pillow. "Gone out for a run. Be back soon. Love you." A small smile creeps onto my face at his sweet gesture. I love that man more and more every freaking day.
After a few moments, I slowly make my way out of bed and into the bathroom, eager to start my day. The move to New York has been exciting and there is never a dull moment. My mom even moved with us into the mother-in-law suite attached to the pool house. I never thought of us as pool house kind of people, but I’m loving it. Being in New York I see my dad and sisters and brother more often as well. I love how close we all are now. I always wanted siblings and now I have so so many.
As the warm water from the shower cascades over me, I can't help but think back to last night - the intense passion, the loud moans, and the cries of pleasure that echoed through our home. I couldn't care less about waking up the neighborhood, but thankfully, our three children, Brielle, EJ, and Sammy, were with my mom at the movies. He brings out so much passion in me, and I should probably stop that as the kids get older, but I honestly don’t know if I can. He’s an animal, and so am I. For someone who never wanted children, I sure want another one. One thing at a time, though. Eli loves it when I’m pregnant, so it should be easy to talk him into it. I’m still working as a nurse but in a plastic’s surgeons office in the city. It’s different, but I still love my patients, and Eli loves his job. I’m close to all my siblings now, my dad and stepmom too. Please don’t get me started on how many nieces and nephews I have. Things may have been rough for us at first, but our lives worked out extremely well, and for that, I’m grateful.
As the water washes away the last remnants of sleep, my thoughts shift to the man who has captured my heart and soul. Eli is more than just a supportive husband, lover, and best friend. He is my rock, my safe place in this crazy world. Standing under the hot shower, I am filled with overwhelming love and contentment for this amazing man.
I can’t wait to see what the rest of our lives hold for us.
