Hey guys, sooo this is the final chapter! There is also an epilogue that I should add by the end of next week. Here's the wedding of Emery and Roman! :D Enjoy!


Chapter 8: Kiss and tears

When Emery walked down the isle on her father's arm and Roman finally got to see her in her dress, he is pretty sure that one of his hearts stopped. She was the most stunning creature in the entire universe and she was his, forever. He barely noticed was the priest was saying, too lost in the beauty of her eyes. Drake woke him of his daydream when he handed him the ring. He slowly put it on his wife's – his wife! – finger and with a trembling voice, he said:

"I vow to cherish and treasure you, each and every day until my last. I vow to be the man you need me to be, to be your everything, like you are mine. And I vow to day after day, reach for all the stars in the sky, like you did for me the first time we met."

Julia tiptoed to Emery with a bright grin on her lips and gave her the other ring. Emery took a deep breath before she declare with a voice much more confident than his own:

"Roman, our story wasn't easy and I admit that I once thought that it would be simpler for us if we just stay away from each other. But you never gave up on us. And proved me every day that love is worth fighting for. So I vow today, to never give up on you and to fight for you and for us. Whatever comes in our way, we're in this together."

The determined look in her eyes was making Roman fall in love with her all over again. He didn't care that he wasn't given permission yet to take her in his arms and give her the most ardent kiss ever.


The reception after the wedding was really nice, Taylor thought. She was pretty satisfied with her work. From where she was she could see Lukas, Julia and Eric chatting enthusiastically, the last two looked like there were about to explode with joy. Taylor smirked; she knew that if they had to sit next to each other, it wouldn't last long until they rekindled the flame. On the dance floor, Grayson was trying to teach Teri how to waltz. She smiled, she had known about their relationship for a while now. Teri had told her once after a hell of a girl's night. She had kept the secret, she didn't know if Teri even remembered telling her so she acted like it never happened. She made eye contact with her friend and she saw her smirk. Well, apparently Teri had remembered all along but that was fine. Taylor would have plenty of time to question her about how the hell it happened. Sophia had taken Ethan, Gloria's son in her arms and the two were spinning around and giggling while both of their moms were watching them with affection. The blond chuckled; no one would have thought this was possible only a couple of years before. She then searched for her own child and she quickly find her with her grandmother. Soroya was feeding the little girl with some ice cream and the baby's face was entirely covered with it. But she didn't seem to mind and was happily babbling. Taylor felt her heart melt, it was something she would never be tired of watching.

She suddenly felt two strong arms around her waist and a hot breath on her neck. She hummed approvingly as Drake dropped butterfly kisses on her skin. She turned around to face him and placed her hands on his shoulders.

"Hey beautiful," Drake said.

"Hi," she answered.

"You did great with this wedding," Drake smiled.

Taylor didn't answer but he didn't miss the sad look on her eyes when she saw Emery dancing with her Dad. Drake took a deep breath and started to talk:

"Look, baby I know that I am not the perfect son-in-law your parents were expecting. I know we didn't do things in the right order… I mean a baby before dating and all… But Taylor I want you to know something: what we have is all I ever wanted, even though I didn't know I wanted it. I love our story and if I could I wouldn't change anything of how we got here ok?"

Taylor could only nod while she tried her best not to cry. She was relieved, she always had that fear in the back of her mind and she was glad that Drake put it at rest.

"But that doesn't mean that I don't want to change what we are now," Drake followed. "I'm sorry it took me so long to ask you this but… Marry me Taylor Beecham! Marry me!"

Taylor could not believe her own ears; really that proposal was so… Drake! She chuckled.

"You know traditionally you're supposed to be on your knees and have a ring for this," she said.

"But we aren't a very traditional couple, are we?" Drake shot back.

"No, I guess we're not," she whispered.

They stayed quiet a moment, in each other's arms. Taylor could feel Drake boiling inside and she was curious to see how long he would wait.

The answer was twelve seconds. "So…?" he began.

"So…" she replied, "of course I will marry you!"

Drake let out a sigh before he lifted her in his arms, not wanting to ever let her go.


Emery felt so safe in her husband's arms for their wedding dance. She couldn't say how long they stayed like this, swaying gently.

She felt tears prickling in her eyes that she couldn't hold back. She looked at Roman who froze.

"What?" she asked in a whisper. She didn't understand, why were his eyes so wide?

"Emery," he began putting his hands on each side of her face.

"Emery your tears…" he stammered. "They're glowing!"

"What?" she almost didn't recognize her own voice. But the glimmering in Roman's face told her everything she needed to know. Roman kissed her, hard and passionate like the first time. They were having a family. A family together and nothing else mattered.
