Epilogue!

…

I had been hearing PUSH PUSH PUSH a hundred times over and over again by now. And after 11 glorious hours of horrific and suffocating labour, I had given birth to our child. And let me tell you…. It wasn’t my piece of cake either! I swear I am hurting all over.

“Here you go ma’am, a healthy beautiful baby boy,” the nurse that assisted me gently handed me my son as I felt so relieved that the whole thing was over.

Well… just this was over but in fact, for our first son, it was just the beginning,

I felt tears water up in my eyes as I cradled the newly introduced baby boy into this world. Matt advanced towards me and held me in a half hug by my side, as the new born boy slept peacefully in my arms.

“He’s perfect,” Matt whispered loving as he watched our son.

“Just like his father,” I said back, smiling tiredly at him.

DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! This is a very special moment, I’m aloud to be as corny as I wish!

At that, our teary faces moved forward in a long kiss.

What? Just because we had our child doesn’t mean we can’t kiss.

“Oh!! Sorry!! We’ll come back later!... No, actually I want to see my new nephew! So break it up!!” Nik shouted in joy as she ran up to us, and stood near the bed watching the baby. Danny soon came walking over, with a giant grin on his face.

“AWWW!! SHE”S SO CUTE!!” Nik shouted very loudly, but lucky enough not to wake the sleeping child.

“SHHHHH!!” You heard this chorus of hisses that came from all three of us; Danny, Matt and I.

“And it’s not a girl!” Matt said frustrated. “It’s a beautiful baby boy,” he spoke more softly and stared at the child in my arms gingerly.

I can tell he’s going to be a great dad. But pfft, not as good a parent as me! I’m going to spoil this child to death!

“What’s his name?” Danny piped in excitement, little did he know that later on he would start a long argument on this issue.

“Um, don’t know, haven’t discussed that yet,” I laughed, smiling.

“Well we’re just going to grab a bite to eat in the cafeteria, we’ll bring ya something k?” Nik asked, as jumpy as ever, still the same bubbly speech as she had when she was a teenager.

We were all about 25 years old now. We had completed university too, and graduated from top ones as well, but Nik was almost finished with her teaching degree. Danny had decided to become an architect, and so had I. Matt wanted to become a lawyer, but gave up after a year and instead took up biology, so now he has a job dealing with Marine Biology.

That sounds so awesome! I wish someday I can play with a dolphin, wouldn’t that be kool?!

Haha yes I know I still sound like a kid, but all of us havn’t changed really. We still do stupid stuff together (stupid stupid stupid stuff), like playing pranks and hanging out.

I guess we’re just kids at heart.

“Ok. OOO! Bring me some pudding!!” I whispered loudly

How that is even possible, don’t ask me.

And yes, pudding has been one of my cravings since I became pregnant –cheesy grin- I’m just happy that I didn’t get a craving for pickles or something.

“Sure.” She half heartedly laughed as Danny and her exited the room to the hospitals cafeteria.

I swear getting married had made Nik even happier! She got asked the important question just over 4 months ago, by her boyfriend of 2 years and now she couldn’t stop fidgeting!

I laughed inwardly as I remembered the time that we attempted to play matchmaker with Danny and Nik. Yeah, that didn’t work out so well.

Danny plans to ask his long time girlfriend of almost 3 and half years to marry him. So I’m expecting another child along the way from both of them!!

But of course I wouldn’t tell them that, they would totally flip and get stressed about how much responsibility a child would bring, about the time and effort needed… blah blah blah…

“So…What do you want to name him?” He sat on the edge of the bed, placing his arms around me and our son, breaking my little reverie.

“Um maybe Greg, ooh! Or Mason!” I shouted in joy

“NO WAY! We are NOT giving our son some weird name, how about John ….or Kane?” He asked his own excited and adrenaline building for our name choosing. He awaited my reaction while I made bad faces at his choices.

“Ew! John is too…John! And Kane? What? Is our son a walking stick now!?” I asked laughing.

He just ‘humphed’ at my response.

“Henry?” He asked hopefully.

“No!” I laughed again but half seriously.

“You are NOT choosing some oldname for our new son!” I told him with a smile on my face.

“…..Albert?” he asked impishly as if I was going to bite his head off.

“AH! That’s it! You have no naming skills what so ever! … I guess that just means that I’m going to have to name him.” I stated with an evil grin on my face.

“No way! Bernard!” He shouted.

“Ew no! Sean!” I countered back

“NO! David!”

“NAH AH! James!”

“NO WAY! William!

“NO! Vinny!

“Vinny?” he asked confused after a few seconds, a grin playing on his lips.

“…NO!” I shouted laughing

“But you were the one-“

“NO!” I cut him off laughing evilly.

“But you suggested-”

“NAH AH!” I shouted in mock angrily.

“AH!”

“NEVER!

“I like William.”

“You suck at naming! You can’t name anything if your life depended on it. How are we going to name him? We can’t compromise on anything! What are we-” I started to panic…

But I was cut off by Matt placing his lips on mine, and cutting off my talking. He started to kiss me and I happily obliged, feeling goose bumps all over.

What? He still makes me feel this way.

And might I say…. FINALLY!

He finally realises how to shut me up, after SO MANY BLOODY YEARS!

“I want what ever you want,” he whispered as we broke apart and leaned our foreheads on one another.

“Ok. Then we shall name him Sean.” I grinned evilly at him.

“What! You’re not meant to agree with me!” He whined like a little baby.

“pfft, baby.” I muttered to myself but he managed to hear it.

“Only if I’m yours,” he smirked mischievously.

“How did we ever get together?” I asked amused and mock regrettably.

“You fell for my charms, my good looks, my great grades, my handsome face, my wonderfully awesome talents, my fantastic-“

I cut him off but capturing his lips on mine.

Haha two can play at this game. –grin-

I smiled into the kiss and even more as we slowly broke apart after a while.

“Don’t forget your cocky personality.” I countered back as we both looked at each other.

“I love you,” he said seriously with a sincere smile on his face.

“I love you too.” I whispered as I grinned like a maniac as I leaned in once more.

Wow. To think of all the things that happened during high school with him, we would end up here.

And I wouldn’t take back a single thing either.

Oh wait… maybe that one time I accidently dyed Matt’s hair purple… In my defence the colour was MEANT to be black! And he was the one who bought the bad brand dye!

Actually now that I think about it, taking all those incriminating pictures was rather fun. Muahha.

“Damn! We really have bad timing don’t we?” Danny asked rhetorically as Nik trailed behind.

We both stared at the two for no less than a second but then went back to our kiss, ignoring any comments flying around. We were just adsorbed in each others arms, holding our not-named-yet beautiful baby boy in our arms and making this day memorable; that day that we have a perfect little family.

I wish I could be this happy for the rest of my life.

But little did I know that I didn’t need to wish for that, for Matt would make sure I, and our son, were. Forever.

THE END

Hey everyone!

First things first. I know how incredibly shitty the ending was. And I know some of you must hate me now. But I happen to like happy endings, so you cant either like it, hate it, or deal, you choice :

Second, I sorta fixed this chappie :D in my rush to post this and get it over with, I accidentally posted the one that hadn’t been slightly edited so here it is

And SOOOO very sorry for the late late LATE update!

Would it help if I repeated the word ‘sorry’ about a hundred times? -grin-

sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry! sorry!

Note: I have added a piece near the end of chappie 22, because I realised I missed a major part of that, if you could, it might help to read that little bit.

But back to the main issue! This story is… OFFICIALLY COMPLETED!

I wasn’t sure how to come about the epilogue so sorry it took this long, but I really think that very long 20 chapter stories aren’t for me! Haha. This story almost killed me, I’m pretty happy about it, but it took a major turn from what I had originally planned from chapter one.

I’m going to miss Chris, Matt, Nik and Danny. I had heaps of fun (even though dying) while writing this and getting such enthusiastic feedback from all of you!

So thanks to all you who stuck with me from the beginning and also those that recently joined. You don’t know how much that helped! In all honesty if you guys weren’t so great, I would have probably quit at about chapter 3!

So thank you all! LOVE YOU! Hope this story turned out to be upto your standards :P

p.s. check out a new short story im writing, I hope to finish it today, but I have this incredibly boring 3-4 page English essay due, so we’ll see lol

Much love for the last time on this story. 16-03-08

Love y’all
