Epilogue

"Today on the show we have very special guests from one of my favorite show, Orange Is The New Black."

"I would recommend for anyone who has yet to watch this show to do so and you can even read the book by Piper Kerman. However, today though we won't be talking much about the show but about the people's private lives."

"Ladies and gentlemen please welcome Laura Prepon and Taylor Schilling."

…. ...APPLAUSE…. ...CHEERING… ...SCREAMING…. ...

"Welcome, welcome." Ellen gave each one a hug.

"Hi! Thank you for having us." Laura said.

"Hi! Yes thank you for having us." Taylor said too.

"The pleasure is all mine. How are you guys?" Ellen said as she sat back down and indicated for the guests to take a seat as well.

"We are good." Taylor responded.

"We are doing great thanks and how are you?" Laura added.

"I'm good too, thanks for asking. Well recently Laura posted a video on her YouTube channel and apparently the video went viral with over 5 Billion views."

…. ...APPLAUSE…. ...CHEERING… ...SCREAMING…. ...

"Can we please have a playback of the video." Ellen said and the video began to pay and when it got to the part where Taylor woke up and kissed Laura the crowd went wild.

There was a lot of 'awe's' and aww and some people even cried. Laura and Taylor held hands and squeezed. They gave each other a loving look which send the crowd into overdrive from all the screaming and cheering.

"Awe, you guys are so cute together."

"Thank you." They said in unison.

"Now tell me. How did you guys meet? And what inspired this video?"

"Well we met on the show, Orange Is The New Black. Taylor and I had to do a scene for audition together and instantly we felt a connection." Taylor started.

"Yes we felt so comfortable with each other and we became very close together than with any other cast mates. Although all this time I told myself that I was straight and that what we have is just a special friendship." Laura said.

"We would flirt and we were always touchy feely with each other like it was a normal thing for friends. Laura would sometimes pull away and keep her distance." Taylor looked at Laura as she said this.

"I was started to develop feelings for Taylor whilst I told myself that I was straight so that caught me off guard and I was afraid I would do something stupid because every time we were together I would just think about how it'll be like to kiss her without cameras and an audience." Laura looked Taylor in the eyes as she said this because it's the first time she actually says this and Taylor was shocked but fell even more in love with her wife.

…. ...APPLAUSE…. ...CHEERING… ...SCREAMING…. ..

"This other time Laura and I were having our Friday get together whereby the two of us would binge on the show so we could like check our errors and how we could fix them. Then well…" Taylor chuckled and Laura just smiled at her encouragingly.

"Our makeout scene played and we talked about how nervous we were because of the people around and then Laura let it slip that she then started to enjoy the keys and was kinda frustrated when they yelled cut."

"Maybe it slipped or maybe it didn't.." Laura winked at Taylor.

…. ...APPLAUSE…. ...CHEERING… ...SCREAMING…. ...

"please do explain…" Ellen intervened.

"Well it had been over a year since we went back and forth with our flirting and I had now come to accept that I had feelings for Taylor and I was okay with that. My mom was actually a huge help who helped me come to terms with my feelings and helped me to accept them. So I particularly chose the episode with that scene and let it 'slip' like Taylor said." Taylor gave Laura an amused look.

…. ...APPLAUSE…. ...CHEERING… ...SCREAMING…. ...

"My gosh my wife is a sneaky little prick." The crowd went nuts at the word wife. It was still weird to hear and see the two act so normal and coupley like this.

"Anyways moving on… as she said that our eyes met and we couldn't look away. I don't know who leaned in first but I just remember that it was the best kiss I had ever had. I knew from then on that I wanted to be with Laura forever and that she now had the power to break me if she didn't feel the same way." Taylor pecked Laura's cheek.

"You guys are so cute tell you. That why Laura said that you're the best kisser?" Ellen said and asked teasingly.

"That and the fact that I couldn't risk sleeping on the couch" Laura joked with a chuckle while making the crowd to laugh as well whilst Taylor nudged her with her shoulder lightly.

"Anyways jokes aside. My wife is the best kisser, pity you won't ever find out." Laura winked at Ellen teasingly.

"You never know Prepon. What do you say Taylor? Want to give it a try? I don't mean to brag but I have been told my lips are like Marshmallows after you've melted them with a fire." Ellen responded to the banter.

…. ...APPLAUSE…. ...CHEERING… ...SCREAMING…. ...

"I'm sorry Ellen but I have the best already and let me just say that Laura ruined me." The couple chuckled amusedly.

"After the kiss I thought everything was going to be awkward but it wasn't. We confessed our feelings for each other and had been together since. We dated for a year and Taylor had been nothing but patient and loving with me and we were going at our own pace. Within a year I proposed to Taylor while we were in Paris 'promoting' the show."

"We moved in with a month of being together because already we spent a lot of time at each other's places because we couldn't bare to be apart. When Laura proposed I didn't hesitate to say yes and it is the 3rd best thing that ever happened to me."

"What's the 1st and 2nd if you don't mind me asking?" Ellen asked curiously With genuine interest.

"I'm sorry babe but the 2nd one being when Laur said "I do" and became my wife. The 1st one being when our daughter was born." Laura couldn't help herself but tear up a little and peck Taylor's lips.

"Awe's" and ahh's" could be heard along with a few sniffles.

"We have been married for three and half years and at first for the sake of the show we had to keep our relationship a secret and then it was okay after that when Alex and Piper were together on the show. Then after that my publicist thought it was a great idea that we keep it under wraps until my book is published. Then…" Laura found it hard to continue as she felt guilty and ashamed of how everything panned out. Taylor gave her a reassuring squeeze for comfort.

"Not that I was ashamed of our relationship but I just enjoyed not having to share our relationship with the world. Just being us but I forgot about the fact that I was hurting my wife and Ben's family by continuing with the 'relationship' Ben and I had." Laura was crying now and Taylor used her thumb to wipe her tears and pecked her on the temple, Laura said it comforts her.

Ellen offered her a tissue. "Thank you…"

Taylor was hurting to see her wife so vulnerable and hurting. They always try to comfort each other and be there for each other so it was no surprise that Taylor's eyes were wet and glistening with tears. Taylor gave Laura a one sided hug and kept her arm around her waist. Some people from the crowd just cried along with the couple.

"I am really grateful for my wife because if it was someone else I don't think they would've accepted any of these. I would really like to apologize to Ben's wife as well for making her life difficult for these past few years. I am really sorry. And to all our fans whom I have misled." Laura paused to take a breather.

"What made you decide that enough was enough?" Ellen asked?

"Believe it or not but it was because of the fear of spending a night without Taylor." Laura chuckled through her tears.

"Well like we said before that we had always been together since the show started, before we even became a couple. So we had an argument about this same issue and I just needed to think so I sent Laura a text that I will be staying at my mom's for the night. But I couldn't do it because we never did before and I had broken a promise we made as to never go to bed angry. I left during the night and went back home. We apologized to each other and made up and the next morning, well you know the rest." Taylor finished up and by now Laura wasn't crying but she rested her head on her wife's shoulder.

"Well thank you guys for coming and sharing with us this amazing love you have for each other. Hope we will have you again soon and maybe your daughter will be joining too." Ellen said.

"Thank you for having us." Taylor said.

"And for allowing us to have a platform to share the whole truth with everyone. And for sure Ella would love to meet you."

"I feel like we would have a special bond. I mean Ella, Ellen. It has a nice rhyme to it." Everyone chuckled.

"It does have a nice ring to it." Taylor and Laura agreed.

"This is it for this segment of the show. After the break we will be talking about the pictures you posted on Facebook. We'll be right back after the break."

…. ...APPLAUSE…. ...CHEERING… ...SCREAMING…. ...

"Thank you once again for having us today Ellen. It really means a lot that to us." Laura said.

"It was a pleasure to have you guys. I am sure your story touched a lot of people and maybe will even help others who are in a similar situation." Ellen said.

"Yeah hopefully. I am just glad that now it's all out in the open and our fans have been nothing but supportive." Taylor said.

"Anyways guys I would like to stay and chat some more but I have to get back to the show. Here is my card, maybe one day we could have dinner with my wife Portia." Ellen handed the card to Taylor and gave each one a hug before she left.

The couple left with a clear head and light as if a heavy weight has been lifted off their shoulders. They went straight home to spend some time with their daughter. They decided to have a picnic in their beautiful garden. They took pictures and bonded with their daughter.

The pictures posted on their social media where just showing maybe hands and feet of their daughter. They were still not comfortable with having their daughter be in the public eye.

"I love you so much Tay. I don't think I say that enough or show you how much you mean to me. I love and appreciate you." Laura placed her hand on her wife's cheek and caressed it lovingly. Taylor had Ella in her arms because she was falling asleep.

"I love you too Laur, and you do show me in every way possible and sometimes beyond what I could imagine and I just hope that I do you too as you do me. My heart physically aches whenever I look at you and our daughter. I would do things and go through the same thing if it means I get to spend some time with you." Taylor said and their eyes where glistening with unshed tears.

They shared a kiss that was filled with love and just stayed like that just enjoying each other's closeness and touch until they heard small whimpers from Ella.

They decided to take Ella inside and Laura was going to prepare dinner. Taylor loved to help, well taste everything and steal kisses in between. Making be it breakfast, lunch or dinner Laura always enjoyed it because not only does she love cooking but she loves this time she spends with them in the kitchen.

"Babe stop it, that is not yet done." Laura chastised while fighting a smile forming on her lips.

"Buh it dust tashtes so gooth Laur. Forry." Taylor said with a mouth fool and a chuckle.

"Ew babe." Now Laura was smiling brightly. Surprisingly enough, Taylor ate a lot during dinner all the time which is why Laura is not worried about Taylor not being able to eat if she does this stealing of hers.

Laura finished cooking and just in time Ella woke up in time for dinner. They always fed her first so that they could let her feed/play with her food. As always Taylor complimented her wife's food throughout dinner.

They finished dinner and Taylor loaded the dishwasher and they went to give their daughter a bath. They played with her for a while whilst she was splashing water and they where just in pure bliss.

"Okay princess, its bedtime now. Mommy do you mind getting the towel?" Taylor said and Laura got the towel and Taylor took Ella out whilst Laura wrapped her up in a towel.

They got her ready for bed. She fell asleep with a smile on her face and her parents just stood by the door to admire her just for a while.

Laura stood behind Taylor with her hands around her waist and Taylor had her hands on too of Laura's.

"Come on babe let's heard to bed, I am exhausted. She is getting way too active for my old bones." Laura said as she faked a yawn.

"Mmh funny how last night if I remember correctly you were pretty much active." Taylor teased.

"Oh sushi, you are the one who couldn't get enough. I told you not to have any surgery treats late at night." Laura said.

"Yes mom." Taylor joked.

"Come on you big old baby. Bedtime." They went to their room and prepared for bed. They were in sync, mirroring each other's actions unknowingly. They brushed their teeth and changed into their pajamas. Laura got in on her side of the bed and held open the blankets for Taylor to get in too.

"I love you so much babe."

"I love you too Tay. Goodnight my love."

"Goodnight babe." They shared a kiss and fell asleep in each other's arms. Tomorrow was going to be another day filled with more life and unknown journey they were willing to take as a family.
