Chapter 24

Dearest Relena,

I know that you are annoyed at me, and you have every right to be. I also know that you'll probably be twice as annoyed at me when you find this entry. But I don't know any other way to get you to listen to me. Just so you know, I did NOT read any of the other entrys.

Look, Sweetheart, I love you. I'm not just saying it to make you happy, I'm saying it because it's true. I should have said it after you told me (even though you thought I was ill). I did what I did because I thought that you would never have told me the truth otherwise.

Honey, can we please just... just start over? You might not remember, but we have to have a baby. You have to get pregnant in the next couple of months, and it isn't going to happen if we aren't on speaking terms. Unless, of course, God does another immaculate conception, I don't think that is going to happen.

I love you. Can't we just pretend that none of this mess had ever happened? Can't we just pretend that we met through our rebellions, and fell in love? Can't we just live happily ever after?

I want to raise a family with you. I want to have ten kids, and watch them grow up with you. I want to grow old with you. I want to see your hair turn silver, and see your face begin to wrinkle. I want to see our children have children with you. I want to spoil the grandchildren and then the great-grandchildren with you. And finally I want to die with you, knowing that we'll be buried together and see what happens next together.

I've made so many stupid mistakes, but I don't want to lose you. I feel like I'm going insane knowing that you won't talk to me, or even look at me. I love you too much to lose you. Please, tell me I'm not to late.

Tell me that we'll get to do all those things together and more.

What I really want to say is Will you marry me. Even though you know I'm a complete jerk, and that I don't deserve you. We can just renew our vows, have a small second wedding with a lengthy second honeymoon. We can have it at that small beautiful church you saw. We can go whenever you want. Just please forgive me?

Somethings wrong. It sounds like a government raid, but it can't be, we've been so careful. Just in case something happens to me before you get back, I want you to know that I'll always love you no matter what, Always.
