Well - the last chapter, or better an epilogue. I had huge problems in
continuing my story, so I decided to end it with this epilogue. I'm not
really happy with it, but I was in a kind of "writing- hole", and after I
haven't updated for years, I thought it's time to give the whole thing an
end, LOL.
However, I hope you like the ending. Reviews are welcome;-) and of course:
Thanks for all your wonderful reviews in the past.
If some of you haven't read my story "Passion", yet, maybe you should,
because I'm referring to it. But it's nothing really important, LOL.
However - Enjoy:-)

EPILOGE
Maria looked at the green hills of New England, which reminded her of their old home Austria. The old sorrows had vanished like the snow in the golden spring sun, being replaced by happiness.
The voices of the children had turned out to be a fortune. The Americans liked the idea of a choir all in one family singing old folk-songs and now they really could earn their money as von Trapp Family Singers.
Of course it wasn't that much money, but enough to life a comfortable life for a family of nine heads. Ten, Maria corrected her thoughts, looking at the Baby-Girl sleeping in her arms: Emilia Johanna von Trapp. Emilia for Emily and Johanna for her father - During their parents absence the children had made it to their mission to find out the old man's name, which turned out to be Johannes.
Maria sighed. That's how it's supposed to be, she thought. The children had settled down fast and learned the new language without problems, soon finding new friends. Even Liesl had forgotten her lovesickness. Well, at the least since she met that student. Maria smiled and turned around as she heard some steps.
"How is the young mother?"
"Great. Well - maybe she would feel even greater, if her husband would enjoy that beautiful view with her."
"This is nothing which couldn't be organized." Georg smiled at Maria.
"And? Do you really feel greater now?" he asked his wife teasing as he sat next to her. "Georg?"
"Yes?"
"Remember what you promised me in the night before our wedding?"
"Of course I do!"
"Well, why don't you keep your promise and stop asking me such silly questions?"
Georg laughed. "If I'm not allowed to ask you silly questions - what shall I do then?"
"You could kiss me."
"Kiss you?" he gave her a sceptical look "I don't know. Are young mothers even allowed to kiss?"
This time Maria laughed. "Of course they are."
"Really?"
"Georg!"
"Alright, alright. No more silly questions." He kissed her softly at her cheek.
"How very cute, Darling" Maria said grinning "But you know, once I knew a Captain who could do that much better."
"You did?" Georg followed the line of her cheek.
"Mmmh." Maria nodded smiling.
"Well, maybe this old Captain can do it better, too" Gentle he took Maria's chin and kissed her deeply.
"Contented?"
"Oh yes" Maria answered as she laid her head on his shoulder. And she really was. She had found her dream.
Fin.
