Epilogue - Three years later
I awoke alone, couldn't work out where she was. I called out to her but received no answer. I swung my legs out of bed and went in search for her. The bathroom was empty as was the kitchen and living room. I walked further on and came to the last bedroom and glanced in. There she sat, bathed in the early morning sun, singing some song. I walked slowly up behind her. "Good morning Mrs Witter." I never tired of calling her Mrs Witter. She had become my wife around eighteen months ago and our gorgeous baby girl was born a little over a month ago.
"Good morning Mr Witter. Your daughter decided she wanted to watch the sun rise." Joey reached up to kiss me. She was still as beautiful as ever, even after barely sleeping for the last month.
"She has good taste. Although the best sun rises are at sea." I bent down and took our daughter from her arms. She was so beautiful, just like her mother. Little Jennifer Rose Witter was the centre of our world and to everyone that met her. Today was an important day. Today was Jennifer's christening day. People were coming from far and wide to celebrate with us. People we hadn't seen in a while.
At noon, Joey and I were standing at the top of the church welcoming guests. Mainly people from the restaurant and her old work in New York. The main guests hadn't even arrived yet. Then as if by magic they appeared. First to arrive were Gale, Lily and Michael. (Sorry don't know Gales' new husbands name) Then Jack, Grams, Doug and Amy. Amy ran straight to Lily. They were both so sweet. Amy was Jen's double and Lily looked very much like Mitch. Both people who were missing out on this occasion. Bessie and Alexander arrived next. Alexander going to join the girls.
"Joey, she looks adorable." Bessie commented on her niece. "Have you decided on godparents yet?"
"Yes Bessie. They should be arriving any second." Joey answered her sister. Just as she said it our special guests arrived. The people who were to act as our daughters godparents. It hadn't been hard to think of who to ask. Joey got one choice, I got another and then we chose one together.
Joey chose Dawson. I chose Gretchen and together we chose Andie. Everyone was so full of hugs when we were all back together again. It was unbelievable. It was just like high school all over again. That picture that had been taken all those years ago in high school was retaken with a couple of people missing but quite a few added. It would be one to treasure forever.
Author's notes:- I hope you like. If not please let me know. Couldn't decide of a better ending but if you feel it doesn't wrap everything up I'll try again.
