Epilogue

Happily Ever After Does Happen

“Shh!” I hear Annaliese say from the other side of the door.

It’s wedding day, and, after only six months of planning, we’ve finally made it here. The day we become ‘us’. A family. One entity.

These last few months have been touch and go with panic attacks, flash backs, and physical therapy. Benton’s been seeing Dr. T more… I think he’s having a hard time accepting the fact that he got off scot free for killing someone, but she was going to kill me if he didn’t step in. She had a fully loaded gun! I’m happy he’s free, and can finally start moving forward with his life. I have Adam to thank for that because, without him, we wouldn’t have gotten such a fantastic attorney. It’s been amazing being able to live without the fear of her finding me… and without the fear that Benton is going to get taken away from me.

He did nothing but protect me. That’s how I see it.

I’ve been in physical therapy a few days a week for the past few months. It’s been rough going, but I’m starting to regain a good amount of movement in my arm. The other wounds from that night are all healed, but I’ll forever have the scars to remind me how much evil there is in this world.

Benton knows I’m not good with crowds so we planned a courthouse marriage with a small get together afterwards at our new place just outside of Chicago. We moved last month after searching for what seemed like forever to start over together. We both had a hard time living in his apartment after what happened there. He’s been the best groom a girl could ask for, really. Especially when you take into account my situation.

“It’s go time,” I hear Ann’s voice from the door. Smiling, I walk out into the small foyer of the old courthouse and smile at my groom. We went with grey suits and crisp white shirts, which couldn’t look any better on a man than it does on my Benton. The black and white chucks finish the outfit out perfectly. Neither of us wanted a stuffy wedding. We didn’t want to feel uncomfortable all day and we definitely didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg for a day that only lasts 24 hours.

“You look beautiful,” he whispers in my ear once I make it to him.

I’m wearing an off white lace dress that falls right at my knees with cap sleeves that I paired with turquoise pumps. Annaliese helped me find a matching outfit for Hannah so the two of us can match today.

“Mama!” Hannah exclaims from Adam’s arms, and my heart warms as I see the love on Benton’s face from her words. Love towards his little girl and me. Benton asked me last week if I’d like to adopt Hannah as my own, and I still get choked up thinking about it. He was so sweet, the way he asked. Just thinking about it puts tears in my eyes. I love them so much.

A daughter. I’m going to have a daughter after today.

I take her from Adam and set her on her feet, letting her walk into the room with us where we will officially be man and wife. It’s so surreal, and though most girls don’t envision this as the perfect wedding, I couldn’t be happier.

“You ready for this?” he asks as our names are called.

“Crazy ready,” I say, grinning.

He chuckles and holds my hand in his as we walk up to start the rest of our lives.

Together.

Sometimes life can be crazy, but when you find that one person that makes you better, the crazy doesn’t seem so bad. Benton is my one. My one that makes everything okay. My one that makes my world spin. Neither of us are perfect, but together we can conquer anything.

I may be a little crazy, but aren’t we all?
