Here is the last chapter. Lots of you will be happy with the outcome.
America POV
Six long months without Liam. Today my life will change though. I am marrying again. It's what is best for my country. Madelyn and Alanna are happy. I am not though. I haven't seen Maxon in ten years and soon I will be his wife.
His wife. What I wanted when I was seventeen and now I am twenty-nine with two kids. Will Maxon like them? Will I like him? Alanna runs up to me in her favourite pink dress.
"Hi, honey." I smile.
"Mom." Alanna says. She looks like she needs to tell me something. "I want to let you know I am okay with you marrying Maxon." She smiles. "I want you to be happy."
"Thank you honey." I say. She looks sad. "What's wrong?"
"I miss daddy."
"Honey he is always in your heart." I tap on her chest.
"He would want us to be happy."
"He would. Now we need to get your sister and then catch our plane." Alanna nods and takes my hand. My bags are already in on their way.
"Do we need to take her?" Alanna complains.
"Yeah we do." We get Madelyn, say goodbye to everyone. The plane ride is hard. Madelyn and Alanna fought with each other. I tried to read but my mind goes to Maxon. Will he still like me?
"Mommy we are here." Madelyn says. I nod. Both of them grab my hands and we go to the car.
The drive is short. My heart beats faster and faster. Alanna has her head on my chest. Madelyn is looking out the window. Her blue eyes sad. The car stops all too soon. I take a deep breath. This is it.
Alanna and Madelyn jump out of the car first. They both smile at me telling me they are okay. I nod as I get out of the car. We walk up to the door. A guard opens the door for us to enter. When we do Maxon and his mother are waiting. Maxon has three roses in his hands. I blush as he goes on one knee handing them to my girls. "Welcome to my home." Maxon hands them two of the three roses. Madelyn my girl that blushes like her mom starts to get rosy cheeks.
"Thank you." They both say. I walk up to Maxon. He hands me a rose.
"Hi." He says.
"Hi."
"Mommy I have to go to the washroom." Alanna says.
"Okay, honey." I say and grab her hand to take her to the washroom.
"My Lady, I can take her." Anne says.
"Thank you." I say. Alanna and Anne head to the washroom. Madelyn looks at Maxon and then me.
"Mom can I go work on my studies?" Madelyn smiles at herself. She giving me alone time! I don't know if I can have alone time with Maxon, yet.
"Sure honey." Of course, Mary is behind Maxon.
"I got her." Marry says.
"Okay, if she needs help in math or science come get me." I say. Marry nods. I watch my little girl leave me. I gulp the air as Queen Amberly excuses herself. We stand still for a moment. Then Maxon takes a step forward. I take one too.
"Would you like to go on a walk?" Maxon asks.
"Sure." I say. Maxon takes my hand and leads me to the garden. "How have you been?" I ask.
"I think that I am good, better that you are here." Maxon smiles at me. "How are you?"
"Better, it's hard with the girls to stay strong. They miss Liam so much." I miss Liam so much!
"It will get better." Maxon says with a cold voice. "You don't need to do this."
"I want too." Maxon smiles at me. He looks at me for a moment.
"We have to get to lunch." Maxon smiles at me.
"Okay, should I get the girls?"
"They are having lunch with Marlee and her kids." Maxon says. "We are going up to my room."
"Oh." I say. I am going to be alone with him!
"You look beautiful." Maxon says.
"Thank you." Could this more awkward? We walk up to his room in silence. His hand feels nice in mine. Like it fits. This is wrong Liam!
"Here." We enter his room. He has a table with food on it.
"What is for lunch?" I ask. Maxon smile says it's something good.
"Mac and chees." Maxon says.
"Yummy." And then the food hits me. It smells so good. I eat rather quickly. Maxon looks like he likes seeing me eat.
"Did that hit the spot?" Maxon asks.
"Yeah, thank you."
"So when should I get down on one knee?" Maxon asks. I don't know what to say. Aren't we already getting married?
"When would you like too?"
"When you have taken off Liam's ring." I look down and see it's still on my finger.
"Sorry, I meant to take it off. I just, I just…" We stare at each other for a minute.
"Take your time." Maxon says. I smile at him but know I should just take it off. But I can't.
"What else do you want to do?" I ask.
"Kiss you." Maxon whispers. He thinks I didn't hear him but I did.
"Then why are you waiting?" Maxon ears perk up. He moves so he is kneeling in front of me.
"May I kiss you America?" Maxon asks.
"Maxon just do it." Then his lips are on mine. My hair goes to his hair. It's still as soft as it was ten years ago. His lips capture mine in every way. This feels different then when we use to kiss. This feels like passion. Two people that need each other. I pull back and look at Maxon.
"We should have started with that." Maxon says.
"Yeah, but maybe we should reconnect before we kiss again?"
"We can try." Maxon smiles. "I thought you, the girls and I could go swimming?" I take a harsh breath in.
"Liam always went with Madelyn." I say. Maxon nods. "But they do like playing cards."
"They do?" Maxon smiles.
"Yeah."
"Do you think they would want to play with me?" Maxon asks. Is he worried my kids won't like him?
"Yeah." I smile. Maxon smiles too.
"Do you want to go see Marlee?" Maxon asks.
"If that's okay?" I ask my eyes looking at Maxon's. He is so handsome.
"Yeah I will walk down with you; they are in the garden." I nod. Maxon takes my hand. We walk down together. Maxon keeps me close to his body. I like the feel. Maxon opens very door for me. He is so kind. When we get to the garden Marlee is talking to Madelyn. Alanna is talking to Kile Marlee's boy. Marlee sees me and before I know it she has her arms wrapped around me.
"America." She whispers. "I have something for you."
"Oh." I say.
"It's from Liam." My heart drops. Liam. "Here." She hands me a letter. It's thick.
"I will after I talk to my girls." I say as Madelyn comes.
"Mom I like it here." She says happily.
"Good" Madelyn looks over at Alanna.
"I think Ali has a crush." Madelyn says.
"Oh boy." I say as I look over at my little daughter.
"She is going to be a real heart breaker." Madelyn crosses her arms.
"Both of you will be." Madelyn nods in agreement.
"Maddie, Maddie." Alanna yells.
"Bye mom." Madelyn says.
"Bye honey." All the kids go run and play. Marlee smiles at me.
"Read it, go up to your old room." I nod but can't seem to move. "You can do it." I nod. Take one more look at my babies.
"You can watch them?" I ask.
"Yeah I got them." I turn to see Maxon standing by the door. I start to walk towards him.
"I have a few things to attend too may we meet later?"
"Yes." Maxon touches my cheek. I lean into his touch.
"Bye." I say and move to my room. When I get there, I open my letter.
Dear America,
If you are reading this, then I am no longer with you. I am so sorry. I want you to know that you will be great with Madelyn and Alanna. Tell Madelyn when she becomes queen to read my journal it says everything she will need to know. Advice I would give. She will be the best queen our country will ever see.
As for Alanna, my little heart breaker will need to be watched. She is going to have tons of boyfriends. I have written quotes about love for her that I was going to give her for her birthday. You must be wondering why I am written this, I just had a weird feeling. I thought I should tell you about everything I had planned for our little girls.
I want your brother to walk them down the aisle if I can't, I want them to live a long and happy life. I want them to be okay without me. I want them to get married and have babies. I want them to know life will go on and that it will get better.
I want you to know that I want you to be happy with Maxon. I may have hated him when I was alive but he loves you so much. He loves you more than I understand. Be happy. Marry him or anyone you like but be happy. Love, I need you to be okay. Live. I will love you until I see you again but you need to live. So, live.
With everything I am
Yours truly,
Liam
I break into sobs as I read. He wants me to be happy. He wants me to live. I will. I hear a knock on my door.
"Come in." I call. Maxon walks in. He looks at my tears and comes rushing. He cups my face looking into my eyes.
"If this is too much we can stop." Maxon says. He wipes tears away from my eyes.
"Kiss me." I say. Maxon stops breathing. "Kiss me." I don't have to ask again before his lips are on mine. He moves his hands to my hips. Pulling me so I am pressed against him. His tongue goes into my mouth and I moan. I move my hands to his hair as I crush my lips harder to his. Maxon hand goes a little lower picking up my butt making me go in the air. I wrap my legs around his waist. Maxon moans as I break away from the kiss and start to kiss his neck. I can tell he likes this with his man problem rubbing against me.
"America you said you didn't want to kiss before we reconnect." Maxon says.
"I do Maxon." I whisper.
"What?"
"I want to marry you." I look into his eyes. Maxon stops moving. He just looks at me his big brown eyes making me blush.
"Are you sure?" Maxon asks. He cups my face forgetting that he is holding me. With both fall on top of each other. I start laughing really hard then. Maxon starts checking if he hurt me his face filled with worry lines.
"I am fine." I say. Maxon relaxes and kisses my forehead making me melt into his warm embrace.
"Why are you ready to be with me?" Maxon asks.
"Because I want to live my life to the fullest. I don't want to miss out on what life has to offer." I say and Maxon holds me closer.
"And you want to live with me?" Maxon asks.
"I want to be with you and grow old with you." I sit up then and pull Maxon with me. "Maxon I have loved you since you were a prince, I felt like dying after you choose Kriss. Then you choose Bella. Now after all this time we have a chance to be together. To fall in love again."
"This sounds really bad America but I also need an heir, can you give me one?" Maxon says. He looks pained asking me.
"I never did get pregnant after I had Madelyn and Alanna but we can try but Maxon is that a deal breaker for you?" I ask my voice pained.
"Not for me no, never America. I love you. It's just my people want me to have a baby." Maxon whispers.
"We can try everything; I just want to be with you." I say. Maxon smiles as he realizes what I am saying. That I only want to be with him.
"When shall we get married?" Maxon smiles.
"Two months at the soonest. My country is still getting over the loss of Liam." Maxon nods. "Also once we are married I will only be here part time because my family is staying over there and I have to do work for England because I can't just leave them, I will not lack on my work here being queen though." I start to ramble. Maxon just laughs as I keep talking.
"It's fine we will make it work Ames. I will do everything in my power." Maxon says and then kisses me. It's soft and sweet. Maxon pulls back and stares at me.
"I will never get tired of kissing you." Maxon smiles.
"I could say the same thing." I smile. Maxon cups my face and starts to kiss me hard. His lips make my heart beat faster. He moves his lips to my neck. Maxon reaches the back of my dress. He finds my zipper pulling it down. I stop breathing. Maxon hasn't seen me since that night so long ago. Maxon takes his time with getting my dress off. I have no bra on because the dress doesn't need one. Maxon smiles as he sees his name still on my left breast. I was way too scared to remove it because it hurt so much getting it.
Maxon kisses it then. I bite my lips as he kisses everywhere. Maxon comes back to my lips and his hands fall to my waist. He leads me to the bed. He places me down on the bed and then gets his clothes off. He comes to the bed. He smiles at me.
"Are we going to fast?" Maxon asks.
"No, we have already done this remember?" Maxon nods. "I don't want to wait anymore." Maxon nods and starts to kiss me. Hand everywhere. Maxon pulls back and looks at me.
"Are you ready?" Maxon asks.
"Yes, Maxon." And we finally make love after ten years apart. I feel like most people think we did it to soon but to me it feels right. I have my head on Maxon's chest as he draws circles on my arm. Maxon smiles as I plant a kiss on his chest. I start to get up but Maxon pulls me back.
"Where are you going?" Maxon asks.
"The clock says it's almost dinner and I have dinner with my girls no matter what." I say and he lets me go. I see that my clothes are in my closet. I get a nice but not to formal dress with flats. When I get back out Maxon is dressed and waiting for me.
"You look nice." Maxon says.
"You do too." I take Maxon hand. "I want to go see my girls." And we do. Maxon and I. As one. We walk down and see my girls sitting waiting for us. They both see me and come running. "Mom." They both say. I take them over to the tables and Queen Amberly is sitting with them smiling. Alanna starts talking about why you don't wear ripped jeans. She hates them and thinks that everyone should stay away from them.
Maxon talks to Madelyn. She asks a lot of question about being king. Maxon says she will be great at it. Madelyn smiles and then eats more of her food. Maxon kisses my forehead.
"I was right about them." Maxon whispers. "They are as lovely as their mom." Maxon says. I look at him and he smiles at me. Then at my girls. At that moment, I know Maxon will make a good dad to them and any kids I have. Liam will want me to be happy and now I am. I take off my ring ready for my new life!
So, that was the last chapter and I know some of you aren't happy. Also for my other story One and Only I would like you to know that my spring break does not start until Thursday this week and have had in the last week three tests. I will update once I am able too. Thank you for reading.
