Epilogue

"Paige! It's here!" I turned over in bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, just in time to see Emily run into our room with a package, "It's here!" I slowly blinked twice at her, my mind not completely awake to process the situation. What is Emily talking about? I rubbed my eyes once more as Emily sat on our bed, excitement practically radiating from her body. Encased between both of her hands was a cardboard box, addressed to me.

When the hell did I make an order?

"What's that?" I asked thickly, stifling a yawn.

Emily grinned and leaned down to kiss my cheek, "You don't remember?" She asked, her lips grazing against my skin, I shivered, "A few weeks ago… we talked about this?"

I closed my eyes. A few weeks ago? What were we talking about a few weeks ago? I could hardly think of what I had for breakfast yesterday. But a few weeks ago? Why does that ring a—

"Oh. That," I breathed, opening my eyes, suddenly realizing what Emily was talking about, "It's here already?" Emily nodded vigorously, "That's it?" I pointed to the box.

"Were you expecting another package?" I shook my head, "Then, yes, this is it,"

I sat up in bed, feeling gravity weigh on me like a ton of bricks. God, Emily has sucked all of my energy. I stretched, arching my back, "Are you going to open it?"

"I thought that you would want to open it…. Since well, you picked it out and you bought it," Emily said, thrusting the box in my lap, "Open it,"

Tongue-in-cheek, I picked up the box from my lap. It hardly weighed anything, but then again… I don't think that things like this would necessarily weigh much.

"Technically, Emily, we picked this out," I said as I started to peel the packaging tape, opening the box entirely slow.

Emily squirmed in anticipation and I smirked; she could be so impatient some times. I flipped over the box, dumping the items onto my bed. Emily blushed as she looked over the products, encased in two smaller boxes.

I licked my lips, feeling a wave of curiosity surge through my body. I flickered my eyes up to Emily, "So, what do you want to do?"

"Do you think that we can try it out? See if it fits properly?"

I nodded, "I don't see why not, we paid for it," I picked up one of the boxes and handed it to her, "Open that," I said, and I held the other in my hands, "I'll open this. Ready?"

Emily nodded, "Yes,"

"All right then, let's open them,"

Slowly, we opened the boxes, revealing our personalized items, well, should I say, our commitment rings. One for me, one for Emily, it was nothing monumental—but it was a large step in our relationship. I smiled, "How does it look?"

Emily grinned as she took her ring out of the box and slipped it on her ring finger. It was a simple platinum band with a small diamond. One day, I'd buy her the real thing, I just know it, because I couldn't see myself with anyone else but her. Emily examined the ring on her finger; holding her hand out, pulling it back in, turning it over.

"It looks perfect. I love it," She said, leaning in and kissing my lips gently.

I hummed happily as I mimicked Emily's actions, and slipped my simple band onto my finger. My symbol of love, and commitment.

I was happy.

We were happy.

And that was all I could ever want.

Author's Note: I struggled so much with this. I wrote out so many drafts, and then I just came up with this. It's short, fluffy, and this is the end.

Thanks to everyone who stuck by me and reviewed, followed, and favorited this story. I really did have a pleasure writing it, and it's been a good few months!

I hope everyone can enjoy this final chapter. Please read again if you like - I'll be writing another paily fic in a few weeks, and updating some of my current material.

*sigh* It's really hard to let this go, Genesis was my baby!

Anyways, thank you again, I love you all.

Until next time...
