Epilogue: Tree Decorating and Parker
Shane's Point of View
I am currently decorating the tree with my wife and love my life, Mitchie. Our first 4 months of marriage have been absolutely amazing. We had our honeymoon and that was amazing too I loved it and we both had an amazing time. We also conceived our first child and Mitchie is now a little over 3 months pregnant. I remember the day we found out I had swung her around and we went out to a gorgeous dinner to celebrate. My work hours had regulated to just 7-3 every day so I could spend the nights with Mitchie and I wouldn't change that for absolutely anything.
Mitchie is standing beside me helping me wrap around the lights around the tree right now as we are decorating it. It is our first Christmas together, well as husband and wife so to us it was a really big deal. It was two weeks until Christmas so we were starting to get ready. Both of our families were coming here for Christmas dinner. They wanted to celebrate our pregnancy as well. They were all excited to find out that they would eventually be grandparents. My parents were especially happy that I found a girl that is happy and wanting to carry my child and it is amazing.
I still can't believe that Mitchie is carrying a baby inside her still tiny stomach. You can see a slight bump and it is so exciting I must rub it and talk to it every night. It makes her giggle and we have some ice cream runs and 3 in the morning but I don't care. Soon enough we will have a child in our arms that we created through love and will be our very own to take care of. I was always scared to become a parent but with Mitchie by my side I am not so afraid I know together we can make it through anything even the difficulty of raising a child.
"Babe we are done the lights" I hear my wife say and I smile at her as I let go of the lights.
"Alright so shall we start with the rest of our decorations" I said smiling as she brought the boxes over to the tree.
"Yes we shall" she said laughing starting to decorate the tree more. I laughed smiling at her. She was always glowing now. Everyone said a pregnant woman glowed and I always laughed but now I knew it was true and was also happy because Mitchie always lit up my day but she lit it up even more these days especially when I wake up in our room with her in my arms.
We finished decorating the tree. After the ornaments we hung the icicles then she watched and laughed at me as I stood on chair and stretched as far as I could to put the start upon the top of the tree. When I got down we turned on the lights and admired the tree. We thought it was the most gorgeous things in the world and we wouldn't want anything else. We sat together on the couch just staring at the tree listening to Christmas music drinking hot chocolate with the little marsh mellows.
That night we curled into bed knowing that everything was where it should be. Our baby would be welcomed into this world with opens arms of the parents who will love him and cherish him with everything they could give. We happily fell asleep never wanting anything then our world. If no one ever knew they wouldn't know our love starting with a simple sex affair, it was amazing how something so wrong can lead to something that could not feel more right.
Christmas went by fast but it was really fun. We exchanged presents that meant the world to us. She got me a pocket watch with her initials on it and at the back it was engraved with
My Loving husband, the one who has my heart and soul- Love Mrs. Gray
I am not ashamed to say I wear it on my jeans every single day and will forever, she is always with me when I wear that. I got her a heart shaped locket with a picture of us on our wedding day and a picture of us kissing in the rain. That was always a magical day. I had not seen her take the locket off since I gave it to her. Love was what we were really experiencing and we were both excited god thought we deserved to share it together.
It is currently 4:55 am on June 15th and I and Mitchie just arrive at the hospital. About 30 minutes ago her contractions and started and her water broke. Our baby was coming today and we could not be more excited about this, it was so special I was excited. We arrived at the hospital and were put into a room while she waited to be dilated enough to have our baby. She was currently at 5 cm and she kept wishing she would be able to have our baby already she wanted to stop hurting.
I hated that she was hurting but I kept holding her hand when she screamed as a contraction hit and I kept reassuring her that when we saw our baby girl or baby boy it would all be worth it. That had made her smile and relax a bit until another contraction would hit. When we first arrived at the hospital I was tired but now it was getting closer and I am fully awake and excited to see our first child together.
When she was finally ready to give birth we got brought into a delivery room. The doctor was there and I helped her breath and held her hand as she was instructed to push when she needed to the doctor so far had been great.
Finally he said give one final push and I grabbed her hand and helped as she pushed. When she fell back on the bed the sound of crying filled the room.
"You did it babe, our baby is here" I said smiling kissing her cheek as she started breathing normally again and sat up. Soon the nurses had our baby cleaned up and handed our baby in a blue blanket into Mitchie's arm. We had got a boy.
I sat beside her on the bed looking at our little baby boy tears streaking in my eyes. This definitely ties with our wedding as the most amazing moment in my life. Mitchie made my life worth everything and this just proved more than ever we were meant to be together.
It's now around noon and we are in a private room. I was sitting beside Mitchie on a bed as she was holding our baby boy in her arms. We decided to name him Parker Nathaniel Gray. We both loved those names so we thought it worked. I took Parker into my arms as Mitchie started to fall asleep. She had tried feeding him and it had been an amazing thing to see. I held parker as Mitchie fell asleep leaning her head upon my shoulder. I smiled as my wife slept beside me and my baby boy now slept within my arms. Our family was perfect. I smiled at myself being with them wondering how a sex affair and overnights and her house can make something like this seem so right. That's when I knew there was a reason I ended up staying all those nights over at her house and why we fell in love. We were meant to be and forever we would be a family. Over nights could lead to such amazing results.
A/N: So yes this is the epilogue and I did just update the last chapter a few hours ago. It's not the best and I know that but I wanted to end it. They had a baby and the decorating and stuff was to show how they were so happy being married and together. I am happy with this story and it's short but I think I did well since it started as a one-shot and now it has 11 chapters. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Let me know what you thought about it. Enjoy!
