Six months later...

At a state prison...

"Well, well, well. I never thought I would see you again, Tony. How have you been doing, man?" Inmate Jerome asked in that sarcastic tone as Anthony went inside the cell they were sharing.

"None of your fucking business!" Anthony raged as he sat down on the bed, sighing deeply.

"Oh, you see, that's where your wrong, man. Since you're gonna be in here for the rest of your life, it is my business. See, I'm making you my bitch again," Jerome stated as he moved to sit next to him.

"Get away from me, you fucking bastard! I don't need this shit from you again!" Anthony screamed in his face. But, his rants proved to fall on deaf ears when Jerome suddenly got pissed off. He then pulled out a small army knife and started stabbing him with it.

Damn you, Amy! Anthony thought angrily. I will NEVER forgive you for putting me through hell! I hate you, bitch!

But, as Jerome had his way with him, Anthony realized that there was no use trying to escape. He was trapped again and, this time, it was for good!

Atlanta, Georgia...

After over a year of being afraid, terrified, and living in fear, Amy can now look forward to another day without having anymore nightmares.

Waking up in Hunter's arms, a smile crept up on her face. When she looked down and saw Melissa sleeping peacefully in between them, fresh tears started falling from her eyes. But, this time, she was crying out of joy.

She leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead, then she leaned over and planted a searing kiss on Hunter's lips before she climbed out of bed, grabbed her robe and left the room.

Heading into the kitchen, she could see his clothes scattered all over the floor. She never knew he could be such a mess. But, since he moved in with them three months ago, she had gotten used to his habits.

She really have no choice. She just loved him way too much.

She reached inside the cabinet and grabbed a coffee mug, then she went over and poured a steaming amount into the mug. After applying an amount of cream and sugar, she held it up to her lips and blew the steam away for a second. Then, she took a quick sip.

Leaning against the counter, she sighed again while she reflected on everything that happened to her, good and bad. The bad thing was she got raped and then got stalked almost two years ago and the good thing was she found a man who loved her and she gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl, who she loved and adored. And, she thanked God for her best friends, who been there for when she needed them the most.

After a grueling two week trial, Anthony was found guilty of sexual assault and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The judge rest assured her he won't be bothering her and Melissa ever again when the conviction was handed out, then he praised Amy and the other women for standing up to Anthony. Right now, for all she knows, he's being raped and tortured by prison inmates. It's just like what that famous saying goes, 'what goes around, comes around'.

During this time, she became the maid of honor at Trish and Cena's wedding. She was so happy to see another one of her best friends find true love.

Randy and Stacy announced they were expecting their first child.

Torrie was now six months pregnant with her first child. She and Adam found out that they were expecting a little baby girl. To Amy's surprise, they decided to use her middle name, Christine.

Dave and Lisa announced their engagement. They will be getting married in the next month or so.

Hunter had since moved in with Amy and Melissa. He signed Melissa's birth certificate and filed some papers with the courts so he could legally adopt her. As it turned out, he legally became her father four months later. He couldn't have been more happier in his life.

"Amy, baby. Are you in there?" Hunter asked as he came downstairs.

"I'm in the kitchen, drinking coffee," she responded.

She had a huge smile on her face when she saw Hunter walking in with Melissa in his arms.

"Are you okay? Melissa was crying for you," Hunter said as he sat their daughter down in her crib.

"I'm fine, baby. I didn't wanna disturb either one of you, since the both of you were still sleeping, so I slipped out and grabbed a cup of coffee," Amy explained with a smile on her face.

"That's fine. Melissa and I was just getting worried, that's all." he reached over and pulled her in his arms, then he planted a kiss on her forehead gently.

"So, what's our plans for today?" she asked out of the blue.

"Well, Melissa's gonna be spending some time with Adam and Torrie while I take you out to dinner and dancing. Then, I have a special surprise for you in the end, something's that gonna change our lives for the better. Tonight, you're gonna be treated like a queen."

She reached up and kissed him lightly. "I hope so."

Later that night...

"Baby, are you ready?" Hunter called from downstairs.

"I'll be down in a minute!" Amy called back before she closed the door behind her.

Truth is, she was ready, but she took the time to look at herself in the mirror. It's been a long time since she dressed up for a romantic date, but it was worth it. She thanked Stacy for letting her wear a black sequined dress and matching high heeled sandals. She hoped this night would turn out to be a good one.

She grabbed her purse and left her room. She knew Melissa was in good hands with Adam and Torrie, who was now six months pregnant with her first child. With a smile on her face and a deep breath, she went downstairs.

As soon as he saw her, he nearly had a heart attack. She looked so damn beautiful and the way she carried herself as she came downstairs, it was evident she felt beautiful on in the inside as well.

"You look so beautiful, Amy," Hunter said and he meant it.

She blushed reverently. "Thank you, Hunt. You look so handsome in your Italian suit."

"Well, 'The Game' always has to look good for his woman." he laughed.

"You're so full of it, sometimes."

He wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Baby, you have no idea. Shall we go?"

She smiled at his handsome features. "Yes, we shall go."

Much later...

"Are you sure we're at the right place?" Amy asked as they pulled up to a deserted beach.

"Baby, trust me. I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about a thing," Hunter assured her as he leaned over and planted a quick kiss on her lips.

I hope you're right, she thought as they got out of the car. He grabbed her hand and lead her towards the beautiful clear blue ocean, where laid a blanket with a bucket of champagne chilling and two champagne glasses. Amy literally was in shock when he sat down on the comforter gently and sat right in front of her.

"I can't believe you did this for me," she choked as Hunter poured the bubbly liquid into the glasses and handed one to her.

"Believe it, baby. This is all for you. You deserve to be treated like a queen and I'm more than happy to make you happy. Tonight's all about you," he said before he leaned over and kissed her passionately.

"I love you so much."

"I love you, too, baby. But, this night is not over yet. Not if I have something to say or do about it."

"Where are you going with this?"

He smiled at her brightly. "You're about to find out, baby."

He got on his knees and grabbed her hand gently, then he looked into her brown eyes and smiled again. He reached inside his pants pocket and pulled a small black velvet box and opened it, revealing a sparkling diamond ring.

"Amy Christine Dumas, I love you with all of my heart and soul. I'd loved you since the say we met. When all of things that happened to you, from your attack to giving birth to Melissa, I loved you even more. And, when you confessed that you love me, I was the HAPPIEST man in the universe. I wanna continue loving you, holding you, kissing you and making you the happiest woman in the world. So, Amy, from my heart to yours, will you do me the honor of being my wife? Baby, will you marry me?" Hunter asked.

Oh, my God! She thought, shock washing over her face. He'd asked me to marry him! I don't know what to say to him, but I'm not turning him down! He loves me and he loves Melissa to death. She needs a father in her life! What the hell? I love him!

"Yes," she said finally, tears started falling from her brown eyes.

"Yes? You said yes?" he said. He just wanted to make sure he heard her right.

"Yes. I would nothing more than to marry you. I would love nothing more than to be your wife."

He stood up, then he lifted her up in his arms and kissed her passionately, twirling her around in his arms. They were both laughing and crying at the same time, holding each other tightly. When he sat her down, he looked into her eyes and saw the love dancing in them.

"I love you, Mrs. Helmsley," he whispered.

"Mrs. Helmsley, huh? I like the sound of that," she thought with a giggle.

"Get used to it." he leaned over and kissed her again, this time more fiercely. He parted her lips and slipped his tongue inside her mouth, making her moan with desire. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed his body close to hers, for which she could feel his erection pressing against her stomach. She slipped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss; their tongues battled against each other.

"Make love to me, Hunter," she demanded as he laid her down on the blanket.

"Are you sure that's what you want?" he asked her.

"I never been so sure of my life. I love you and you love me. I'm fully healed now; physically and emotionally," she declared before she pulled him down and kissed him again.

"Oh, God," he groaned as she reached down and, with her hand, gripped him firmly. He continued kissing her while he pulled her dress over her head and removed it quickly, throwing it on the sand, leaving her with only her thong on.

"You're so beautiful," Hunter whispered in ear as he easily tore her thong away. This is the first time she got naked in front of a man but she didn't feel nervous or scared. Hunter was being slow and gentle with her and she felt like she could die and go to heaven because of this special moment.

He ran his fingers through her long red hair and smiled when she reached for him. It took him only a few seconds to remove his clothes and lay back down next to her on the blanket, for which she fell back into his strong arms.

"I need you, Hunter," she pleaded with a deep, fiery longing.

"Don't worry, baby. I won't let you down." he moved on top of her and eased himself deep inside of her. She moaned in his ear, wrapping her legs over his back as she felt him move slowly. He nibbled on her ear gently as he picked up his pace. Sweat was forming on her forehead as she lifted her hips to meet his downward thrusts. She dug her fingers in his back and screamed out his name. Amy never felt so alive in her whole life.

Faster and harder, he drove himself deep inside of her and groaned. He reached down in between them and, with his fingers, found the one spot he was looking for, which sent her over the edge. She ran her hands up and down his back and sighed deeply, feeling pleasure ebbing in her bones.

When the time came, Hunter and Amy reached paradise at the same time, calling each other's names out in the process. Afterwards, they laid side by side, breathing heavily and feeling the aftermath of their lovemaking. Then, she laid her head against his chest and sighed deeply.

"That was amazing, thank you," she said, giggling.

"You're welcome, baby. Like I said before we came here, you're gonna be treated like a queen."

"I love you, Hunter."

He kissed her again. "I love you, too, Ames."

One year later...

One year.

One year of happiness.

One year of joy.

One year of wedded bliss.

One year of pure satisfaction.

As she rubbed her swollen belly in her hand, the six month pregnant beauty watched, with a contented smile on her face, her handsome husband play around with their one and a half year old daughter Melissa on the grass. Suddenly, she felt the baby kick, realizing that she was hungry.

With all of her strength, she got up from the lawn chair and headed inside while Hunter and Melissa continued playing. She went into the kitchen and pulled a jar of peanut butter and saltine crackers, then she took her seat at the kitchen table. She was about to dig in when Hunter burst through the door, Melissa in his arms.

"I take it Maya's hungry, huh?" he chucked as he put Melissa down in her high chair.

"Yes, sir. She was doing somersaults in my stomach. I can tell when she's hungry." she laughed.

He came over to where she sat at. Then he leaned down and kissed her softly.

"I love you, Mrs. Helmsley. I love you so much."

Smiling brightly, she replied, "I love you more, Mr. Helmsley."

And, everything was all good since then, especially when Maya Simone Stephanie Helmsley was born three months later.

All in all, she was, indeed, praying for time. And the results came out better than she anticipated!
