Epilogue:

The wedding had come and gone like a flash. All the wait and preparations were finally over as Claire made her way down the aisle to the man that has captured her heart and filled her dreams since the moment their eyes met. That night had changed the course of their lives like nothing else ever did and today they were married with a daughter and another baby on the way. It has been a year since they said 'I do' and to them both, it felt like yesterday.

Claire can still see herself walking down the aisle as the sun set behind Owen, the man in the light grey tuxedo waiting for her at the altar, the love and passion written all over his face. He watched her walking towards him in a gorgeous white laced wedding dress, the long veil giving the look the perfect touch, and when she reached him and he removed the veil to meet her green eyes, he could see tears threatening to spill. She looked so beautiful and happy, it made his heart skip a beat.

'You look so beautiful' he whispered and Claire smiled.

As the ceremony progressed, both Owen and Claire felt like they were on cloud nine, as everyone else just faded into the background, not that there were a lot of guests. It was a small ceremony on the beach with only direct family and close friends invited. Claire had contemplated inviting Jessica to the wedding, finding it hard to accept that things had changed so much she couldn't invite her long-time best friend, but then thought it would be best not to. She had started dating someone else, but Claire felt it would be too much to invite her. It didn't mean that because she was now dating again, that all was forgotten. Dating someone else was probably helping her move on, and she didn't need to witness her ex marrying her once best friend.

Moving past that, they said their 'I do's' and when the ceremony was done and the it was time for the small reception, Claire found that she could really have done without the party. All she wanted to do was be alone with Owen and make love to him like never before. As they danced to their chosen wedding song, Owen held her close, never leaving her eyes not even for a second.

'You look so beautiful my gorgeous wife' he said in a whisper and Claire blushed.

'You don't look so bad yourself Mr Grady' she teased.

'I can't wait till we are alone' he replied as they continued to sway along the tune 'As gorgeous as this dress is, I can't wait till I can remove it off your body and have my way with you' he told her and Claire laughed.

'I love you so much Owen' she told him.

'I love you too' Owen replied before leaning in and kiss her lips.

Not long after the cake was cut and as everyone approached and hugged the happily married couple and wished them a long and happy married life, they prepared to part ways with their daughter for a couple of days. Karen had offered to take care of Madison for them wanting to get to know her niece better, so Owen and Claire could go on their one week honeymoon. They had chosen the Bahamas and it had taken a lot of convincing from both Owen and Karen for Claire to leave for such a long time in her opinion, her daughter. They had never been apart for so long, and she had only accepted after Madison reassured her that it was fine and she was happy to go and live with Aunt Karen for a week and get to know her cousins better.

They had made sure to talk to her first thing in the morning and before she went to bed every night and as hard as it was for Claire to be separated from her daughter, she had to admit that she was loving being alone with Owen and that they both needed this time together. Time to be just the two of them and enjoy their honeymoon, make love with no care in the world if anyone was listening, and they were sure someone had heard Claire screaming at some point, but Claire couldn't care less. No one else knew her here anyway.

Making love to her husband as Mrs Grady had been amazing. She could still remember that first time how good it was, the many times he had made her scream his name out and how they had snuggled after and stared at the rings on their fingers.

'I still can't believe that we are married' she said as she stretched out her hand and stared at the ring. The big diamond on her engagement ring and the round with three diamonds on her white gold wedding ring.

'Well you better believe it Mrs Grady' Owen said before nuzzling her neck and pulling her closer to him 'Damn that sounds so good…Mrs Claire Grady' he said and Claire laughed at how much he enjoyed saying it.

'I love it…The Grady family' she said. They had changed Madison's surname the minute they found out Owen was the father and he had assured Claire that he wanted to be a part of Madison's life, that he wanted to step up as her father, and Madison had been too happy in agreement with the change in her surname. She had asked them to immediately inform her school like a grown up ready to take responsibility, to which they happily agreed.

Being away from her after three days, Claire had started to miss her. Not that Owen didn't but Claire missed her more, probably because she knew her more and well she was her mother after all and they had a special bond.

'I know you miss her' Owen said after Claire had hung up her phone and he noticed silent tears streaming down 'I miss her too…but I have to admit that I am enjoying my time with you being just the two of us' he admitted.

'Me too' she assured him quickly 'It's just that we have never been apart for so long' she told him.

'I know. I tell you what…when we go back, we make sure to make some new memories with her and start planning a trip together, the three of us. Maybe we can take her to Disneyworld, I'm sure she would love it there' Owen told her.

'Oh she definitely would. I can already picture her going crazy meeting Belle and the Beast and wanting to take photos and buy stuff of them' and as Claire went on she couldn't help but laugh and Owen was happy he had managed to turn the conversation around and get Claire to laugh instead of cry.

'Thank you' she said before leaning in and pecking his lips 'You managed to make me smile and give me something to look forward to' she told him.

'So being married isn't something to look forward to?' he asked her in a teasing tone 'Because if that is the case…I can give you plenty to look forward to' he said as he started kissing her neck, immediately going to that spot close to her ear, making her go weak in the knees.

They were in bed, naked for a change, having already made love and Owen was not even close to being done with her. Now that she was Mrs Grady, it was turning him on more than he thought it would and Claire was not objecting.

Her arms were already wrapped around his back, one hand going to his hair, her fingers sliding in his hair while the other one scratched his back 'God I love this' she whispered 'I love holding you like this…I love how you kiss that spot right there' she whispered before biting her lower lip.

'And I love making you go weak in the knees and getting you wet' he told her, knowing she already was. He could feel the heat between her legs, his cock rubbing against her sex teasing her and himself for that matter. Claire was already panting and ready to have him inside of her. She was becoming a horny teenager and Owen had laughed at this when she had mentioned it, not that he was any better. She was so ready all the time and Owen was more than happy to oblige.

'Oh God I want to feel you inside of me again' she said biting on his shoulder as she pulled him closer to her.

'Like this?' he asked his cock already at her centre, her legs wide open and ready, as Owen slid himself in.

'Aaahhh…yes like that. More' she said, and Owen pulled out and slammed in again and again until they were going at it again. They also realized lately that they had become more talkative during their love making which they both seemed to like. The sound of Claire moaning like that in his ears was driving Owen mad. The way she was whimpering and digging her nails in his skin, marking him, feeding herself to him was sending Owen over the edge and when she arched her back and Owen hit that perfect spot, they came loud and hard until they were both panting next to each other staring at the ceiling.

'You my gorgeous wife…are absolutely amazing' he said as he turned his head to look at her, taking her left hand in his and kissing her knuckles.

'You know what is amazing?' she asked seductively 'Having an unsatiable husband who can never get enough of me just like I can never get enough of him' she said and Owen smiled kissing her lips.

oooOOOooo

It had been three months later when they had had the talk. It had never come up before for some reason and Owen wasn't sure how to bring it up either. He knew that this was something they should have actually discussed before tying the knot, not that it would have changed anything really, because they already shared a child but now that Owen wanted to bring the subject up, he was feeling anxious, which Claire caught on and made sure to ask what was the matter when they were alone and in their bedroom. They had just made love and Owen was holding Claire in his arms and being quiet, contemplating if this was the right time or not. He really didn't want to ruin the moment, nor did he want to have their first argument if things headed that way. They were three months into their marriage and so far major argument free.

'Are you going to tell me what's on your mind?' she asked turning around to face him.

He looked at her like robber caught red-handed 'How can you tell?' he asked a little surprised.

'You're quiet and I can feel the wheels in your head turning' she replied 'You know you can tell me anything right?' she asked.

'I know…it's just that…I don't know how you are going to react' he replied 'And I don't want to ruin the moment' he admitted.

'You are not going to ruin anything. Tell me what's bothering you' she encouraged him.

'Nothing. I was just wondering…if you would want to have anymore kids' he finally spilled out and Claire smiled at him. She could feel her heart over flowing with love for this man she now called her husband.

'I do' she replied.

Owen was about to say something as his mouth opened when it closed again, making Claire burst out laughing 'You do?' he asked surprised. For some reason, he had been almost sure that she was going to say no.

'Of course I do. Did you really think that I wouldn't want to?' she asked him surprised.

'I don't know. I guess' he admitted.

'Why?' she asked him.

'Maybe because you already have a child and you have a very important and busy career, and maybe because of your figure. I don't know' he said.

Claire leaned in and kissed his lips as she set her hand on his chest 'Thank you for being considerate but yes…I want to have more kids. I never thought I would really, but after having Madison, and doing it alone…now that we have found each other, and you had missed on the first pregnancy and everything else, I immediately told myself that I would at least want to give you that experience again. I want you to experience getting the news, and coming to the appointments, listening to the baby's heartbeat for the first time, labour, holding the baby for the first time. I want you to experience all of the firsts that you missed out on Madison' she told him with a smile and tears in her eyes. She had become so good at shedding tears she realized and maybe that was because she didn't need to be so emotionally strong all the time now that she had Owen in her life.

Listening to her mentioning the list of experiences he had missed out on Madison, made him get teary-eyed, but at the same time, he felt so blessed and lucky to have such a considerate wife. He knew that deep down she still carried the burden of taking that away from him, so when she started taking now and explaining herself, her reasoning was no surprise.

'How did I get so lucky to have such a considerate and loving wife?' he asked her stroking her cheek with the back of his hand 'But are you sure? I mean if you don't want to…'

'I do. I do want to get pregnant again. I want to have another child with you again' she said.

And that was why she was so ecstatic that morning when she got the result. Owen was still sleeping when she woke up early on purpose and took the test. She hadn't been throwing up or anything, but she was late and she felt somewhat strange within herself, so she had bought two tests and tried them out. As she waited impatiently for the result to show on the stick, she paced in the bathroom trying to keep her hopes under control, not wanting to get upset and ruin the rest of the day. It was their wedding anniversary, and Claire was hoping she could give him the news today. It would be the perfect gift. The time seemed to drag on forever but when the word pregnant showed up on both tests, Claire almost screamed with joy.

Calming herself down, she walked out of the bathroom, placed the result sticks in a nice wrapped box after wiping them clean, and placed it on his bedside table. She slipped into bed next to him and started touching him and kissing his chest, making Owen groan in his sleep. His eyes were still closed, but his hand was starting to wonder up her back.

Removing the sheets off his already naked body, having made love last night, Claire wrapped her fingers around his manhood, stroked it a couple of times and then took him in her mouth and Owen fisted her hair.

'Jesus Claire' he whispered trying to not burst there and then in her mouth. She smiled but continued to work on him until Owen cursed and pulled his cock away from her mouth trying to keep himself from cumming.

'Good morning' she said seductively and Owen smiled.

'That is one hell of a good morning' he said as he took note of the time behind her 'Jesus you're up early' he said. It was barely six in the morning.

'I know' she chuckled 'So are you going to do something about the problem south?' she teased 'Or do you want me to finish you off?' she asked. Damn she was horny this morning!

Owen laughed but turned them around so that he was on top of her 'I think we can take care of that problem' he said before locking his lips with hers and kissing her passionately. It might have been very early but it was never too early for Owen to make love to his wife. Ever since that talk, they had been trying to get pregnant, making love at all the hours of the day. Every chance they got, they were fucking each other's brains out, not that either of them were objecting, and this morning was no different.

As he made love to her, Claire couldn't help but enjoy having his body on top of hers, knowing that in a couple of months' time, they won't be able to make love in this position, and when they lost themselves in their release and came down from wonderland later, Claire snuggled into him happily.

'Happy anniversary Claire' he said with a huge smile on his face before kissing her lips.

'You have your present next to the lamp behind you' she told him, knowing he hadn't noticed it. He turned around and grabbed the box as he popped himself on his elbow with Claire mimicking his position 'Happy anniversary Owen' she said as she watched him open the box and then gasp loudly.

His eyes went wide and his mouth dropped a little as he stared at the two sticks staring back at him 'You're pregnant?' he asked her finally lifting his head to meet her eyes and Claire nodded happily.

'You're going to be a daddy again' she said trying to hold back the tears.

'You're pregnant?' he asked again in disbelief and Claire laughed.

'Yes' she laughed.

'Oh my God' he said as he dropped the box and pulled her into a hug before crushing his lips hard against hers, his hands cupping her face 'Oh my God I'm so happy' he said.

'I can tell' she laughed.

'Are you feeling okay? When did you find out?' he asked.

'I'm okay Owen relax. I just took the tests' she replied 'Now I need to make an appointment with my gyne and we move from there' she told him knowing he would need to know and that that was going to probably be the next question.

Owen was so happy with this news. They had been trying for a while but between days where they were both exhausted or Claire was in her special time of the month or maybe they had to stay late at work, months dragged and well these things sometimes take time. Owen just hadn't realized how much he wanted to have another baby until they had started trying. It was like he was expecting her to give him the news after the first month trying. She had noticed his disappointment every time she informed him that that time of the month had come. He had been trying to contain his disappointment so not to upset Claire but it wasn't always easy.

Now that she was pregnant, his behaviour changed. He was so much more attentive and caring and worried. Sometimes he was so protective that he was starting to get on her nerves. He wouldn't let her lift anything or do anything that according to him could tire her out or get her hurt, and she was still in her first trimester.

Breaking the news to Madison had been easier than they thought. She was so happy to have another sister or brother to play with eventually. They had even taken her with them to the gyne's first appointment. Owen was so nervous as the time approached, and the gyne noticed, giving him every little detail of what was going to happen and what she was going to do or what he was going to see, and when the heartbeat of the baby first sounded the room, Owen's eyes filled with tears. Claire turned to look at him and squeezed his hand.

'That's our baby' she whispered and Owen had smiled while Madison just watched trying to figure out what they were seeing.

When they got out of the clinic, Owen couldn't resist. He grabbed her face with both hands and crushed his lips hard against hers, kissing her passionately 'I don't think I can love you more than I do right now' he told her and Claire laughed. He was so sweet she couldn't help it.

'I love you too' she replied kissing him back on the lips.

Cravings and emotions had been something else as well during this pregnancy. During the first one, which she ended up going through all by herself, Claire had no one to turn to when she craved something she didn't have at home nor did she have anyone when she got emotionally down, especially when the clothes didn't fit her anymore.

As her belly started growing, and the clothes didn't fit her anymore, Claire started to become a little bit difficult to handle. She was constantly in a mood, and anytime he tried to get any close to her, she would walk away from him leaving him speechless and confused. He had no idea what he had done wrong nor why she was acting this way. She wouldn't talk to him. She hardly talked to him anymore, and Owen was finding this situation to be getting on his nerves to. He had talked to Barry about what was going on, and his friend reminded him that his wife was pregnant and probably hormonal. He had advised him to be patient but to try and talk to her. As he sat down and thought about what had been happening with Claire, he realized that they hadn't made love for a while which was completely not normal for them. Owen only realized now that it had been almost three weeks since they made love, and not only that, Claire was making damn sure he won't see her naked as well.

He needed to talk to her and he needed to talk to her now and find out what was going on. He made his way up into the bedroom, finding Claire already in bed. He closed the door and walked over to her while Claire pretended to be sleeping.

'I know you're not asleep Claire' he told her but she didn't open her eyes 'Can you talk to me please? What is going on with you? You think I didn't notice that you have been avoiding me? Or hiding your body from me? Why won't you let me see you?' he asked her but she still didn't say anything 'Claire I love you…Please talk to me. You are worrying me? Is it me? Did I say or do something to upset you?' he asked her and Claire opened her eyes and started crying 'Baby what's wrong?' he asked her.

Pushing herself up in a sitting position and pulling the sheets to cover herself, she let herself lean against his body as he held her in his arms until she started calming down.

'Claire what's wrong? Is the baby okay? Are you hurt? Are you in pain?' he asked her. He was so worried.

She shook her head making Owen even more worried, not understanding what she was trying to tell him 'Let's go to hospital' he told her as he tried getting up from the bed but Claire stopped him.

'It's not the baby' she said.

'Then what is it?' he asked her confused.

'It's me. I'm fat' she cried and Owen stared at the wall behind her. Seriously? He wanted to curse and bang his head against the wall. He had been so worried something was wrong with the baby or her, or that he had done or said something to upset her, and all this was because she was getting fat? 'You're not fat Claire. You're pregnant' he corrected her.

'I'm fat and I'm ugly and you are going to leave me' she cried even harder as the words escaped her mouth.

'What?' he asked. He grabbed her face with both hands so she would look at him 'Claire…you are not fat and definitely not ugly and I am never leaving you. I love you and to me you are the most beautiful woman on planet Earth' he told her 'Is that why you have been avoiding me and why we haven't been making love?' he asked her and she nodded 'Oh Claire…can't you see how wonderful you are to me? You're carrying our baby Claire' he told her but she still didn't look convinced 'Let me make love to you Claire. Let me show you how beautiful you are to me…how much I love you' he told her his hands on hers. It wasn't about sex really, but he thought he could make her feel what he feels when looks at her.

It had worked as after they finally made love again, Claire felt more at peace. She was still conscious of her weight of course but then after Owen had told her that they could go shopping for some new maternity clothes and make a day out of it, she had smiled brightly. The word shopping had seemed to be the trick rather than the sex. Owen made a promise to himself that he would keep that in mind next time she felt down about something. He should have known really that all she needed was to be taken on a shopping spree.

As the days rolled by and the nursery was finally ready, the reality of what was about to come in the next couple of days was starting to hit home, not that it didn't when he felt the baby kick for the first time and every time. Owen was sure he will never forget that moment, just like he won't forget the first time he heard the baby's heartbeat on the monitor and just like he won't forget when Claire went in labour. The excitement and terror he felt at the same time was something he couldn't really put into words, and yet he had to put all of that aside and help her, encourage her. Remind her how strong and beautiful she was, that she could do this, that he was proud of her, and when the baby was finally out, Owen had never felt more relieved in his entire life.

'You did it' he whispered as he wrapped an arm around her face and kissed her on her forehead.

'Is he okay?' Claire asked.

'Everything looks fine. He's gorgeous' the midwife said as she approached with the baby in her arms placing him on his mother's chest.

'Oh my God Owen…he is so beautiful' she said as her eyes took in the little bundle of joy 'We have another baby' she said as she looked in Owen's eyes.

'We do' he replied 'I love you so much Claire' Owen told her looking adoringly at his wife.

'I love you too Owen' Claire said 'Welcome to the Grady family little Charlie' Claire said, and with that a family of three became four.

THE END
