Author's Note: It's finally finished. I tried so hard to find the perfect ending, but I couldn't think of one. I hope this will do. Thank you so much for everybody's reviews. You do not know how much they meant to me while I was writing this. Thank you. Until my next Profiler fan fiction…good-bye. Enjoy!
Will You Take Care of Me?
As I pull up in my driveway, I stare at my new house. It looks so deserted. I wish I could be at the firehouse right now with Sam and Chloe. But I guess things don't work that way.
I unlock the front door and enter. It feels so different to not have to go through a bunch of security just to come into my house. I got so used to it, and now I won't ever have to do it again.
Sam and I both agreed; things just weren't working out. We both needed more space. We were too cramped. I wish we didn't have to do this. Why did it have to be such a long and hard thing to do?
"Hey handsome." I hear a seductive voice say.
"I thought you weren't going to be here."
"Well I am. Do you have a problem with that?" she says while placing a kiss on my lips. I just want to be at the firehouse with Sam.
I know I wanted to move, but I guess I liked the house more than I thought. I didn't think that remodeling the house would take this long. We just wanted the house to be bigger and have some more privacy. The downstairs was just supposed to be redone. I didn't think it would take so long.
"How's the house coming along, Sam?"
"We'll be out of here soon, John, don't worry. All of the old security system is gone, and they are almost finished with the downstairs, so we should be able to go back soon."
"Good. I just want to go home." I lean down and give her small kiss.
"What are these for?" Sam asks while pulling out the red roses behind my back. I can see a look of sadness start to spread across her face.
"I thought I'd give them a new meaning."
A smile appears on her face. "I would like that." she says gently.
"We have been married exactly one month, so Happy Anniversary."
"It seems like only yesterday we kissed for the first time."
"It's been one month, three weeks, four days, seven hours, twenty-seven minutes, and three seconds since we first kissed actually."
"You kept count?" she said shocked.
"Well, the hour, minute, and second part isn't true, but the rest is."
She places her hands on the side of my face and pulls me into a kiss. "I defiantly think our one month anniversary deserves a celebration." she says with a wink.
"Chloe's home, though."
"Not for long. She has the class trip tonight. She should be gone," Sam pauses to kiss me once more, "soon."
"Looks like I came down at the wrong time." Chloe sarcastically says.
I raise my head to look at her. "You look beautiful, Chloe." She's looks so grown up in her dress. I can't believe this is the little girl I raised. A small tear threatens to emerge from my eye. "Do you have the camera?"
"Right here," she answers while holding it up. She walks over and places it in my hand. "Here you go, daddy."
"Let's get some pictures of you." I start to take pictures of her in different poses, when I think of something. "Sam, join Chloe. I want a picture of the both of you together." I raise the camera up and take a picture that I know will be perfect. "Okay, I think we're finished now."
"No we're not. I didn't get a picture with you yet." Chloe motions me to come to her. "I can't not have a picture with my daddy." It still melts my heart when she calls me daddy. How was I so special to deserve this?
Sam takes a picture of us, and then I sat the camera so we could have one of all of us.
A car horn honks. "My ride is here. Bye, mommy. Bye, daddy. Happy Anniversary."
I put my arm around Sam as we watch Chloe exit the house.
"She's growing up so fast," Sam smiles.
"I know," I state as I stare into Sam's eyes.
"I love you, John Grant, and I always will. Nothing can ever change that."
"I love you too, Sam."
Sam smiles and wraps her arms around me. I pull her in closer until our lips are touching. The whole world seems to fade away except for Sam and me. How I am so lucky to have her is not known by me. All I know is that I am truly blessed to have her. As we kiss, one thing ones through my mind: I can't wait to live the rest of my life with her in it.
The End
