Written by Lorena (xYouDroppedItCurlyx) and me. This is the LAST chapter after writing this for a year... lol.


When I open my eyes after the kiss I look down, not daring to face his chocolate brown eyes, his white shirt is wrinkled where I had pulled it in my fist. And I smile because kissing him feels too normal, as if we never broke up, as if we had kissed each other every day since our first kiss.

''Some things never change…'' I murmur looking down, it sounds like a whisper and I'm not even sure if Nick heard what I said.

''You definitely did.'' He answers, curling his finger under my chin and brining my head up to meet his eyes.

''You too, Nicholas.'' I laugh, because that's all I can do.

''But this never changed.'' Nick brushes his bottom lip against mine and I feel his grin widening. ''Neither did this.'' He says again, as he brings his hand to my ass to bring me closer to him. ''Or this…''

He intertwines our hands gently, like he has done a million times before.

"And that's how it happened," Nick clinks his wine glass against mine. I give him a soft peck on the cheek. "That's how I got back the love of my life."

I roll my eyes as a smug smile stretches his lips apart. "I was the one running for you, honey, let's not forget that."

Selena laughs as she settles into the couch. "And who do we have to thank for your nine years of marriage?" She silently points to herself.

"All you did was cause a scene, that could hardly be something to thank you for..." I joke as Joe comes into the room bringing another glass of wine with him. I watch as he slowly settles next to Selena.

"Hey!" Selena crosses her arms over her chest. "I planned the whole thing. Besides, if I didn't show up at Joe's house that day, you guys wouldn't be married today." She shrugs. "It all points to me. I'm the brilliant one."

We all laugh as Selena leans back into the couch.

"It doesn't matter," Nick says seriously, "The important thing is that we're together now."

"Forever baby," I settle my hand on his knee. My eyes stare at the big diamond engagement ring and then at a gold round ring that's been resting there for nine years. And many more to come...

"They are so disgustingly cute." Joe mutters. I look away from my hand and onto the two people sitting on the opposite side of me and Nick.

"I know right?!" Selena shakes her head. "Single life is the best!" She claps her hands excitedly.

"You're fucking insane," Joe places his glad onto the small table in front. I watch as the two of them roll their eyes at the same time.

Before I could make any comment about it, a pair of quiet footsteps danced against our new floor. I lean over Nick and stare as our seven years old son flies into the room holding his big fluffy teddy bear.

"Mommy I had a nightmare and I couldn't-" His small blue eyes scan the room and when he sees Selena, he jumps excitedly. "Auntie Sel!" He runs towards her, sleep completely erased from his eyes.

Selena picks him up and places him into her lap. "Hey handsome," She brushes the soft dark brown curls away from his face.

William, our son, turns towards me and Nick. "Mommy did Auntie finally get herself a boy?" He scrunches his nose.

I giggle loudly at Selena's horrified face. Selena gives me a death glare.

"What the hell have you been teaching this kid?!" She shakes her head, but a small smile is playing at the ends of her lips. "You know what," She turns to William, "I did find myself a boy, and it's you." She kisses him on the cheek softly.

"Awh, yuck!" He slides off her lap. "Girls have cooties!" He races out of the room through the same door her entered, yelling 'cooties' the whole way up to his room. Me and Nick both share a laugh as Joe pats Selena's shoulder comfortably.

''He looks so much like you, Nicholas...'' I say, my eyes are watery because I'm so happy and I couldn't ask for anything else.

''After all this time and all the things we went through, Will remembers me of it every day, of how strong our love is.'' Nick looks at me holding my hand in his, his eyes show all the love he's talking about.

''I love you, Nick'' I whisper as I lean in for a deep kiss.

Just like that the rest of the world disappears, Selena and Joe are no longer sitting there and we're alone in our own little universe. Together everything that comes next will be just an easy come.
