Four years later…
Luke's PoV
I was currently sitting on the couch flicking through the wedding photos while listening to my angel teach our baby girl, Hannah, how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the piano. It was a magical moment to listen in to and I couldn't help but reminisce on what it took to get to this point. I had to die, come back to life, fall for the girl, get her to marry me and later we had Hannah. Nearly four kilograms of joy came into the world, red face and screaming from the shock of the sudden changes. Music was still a part of our world and we made sure we included it in little Hannah's world every day.
The years had been kind to us, we decided to stay as a family with Reggie, Alex and Carlos, it definitely paid off when Julie was pregnant as I had back up for her mood swings or midnight cravings. Then when Hannah was born, she had three uncles to help care for her while me and Julie napped. We also eventually got back into music and performing now that there was no longer a threat over our shoulders. Julie's sadistic father had been given the death sentence for what he had done at Carlos's request, Julie agreed that it was best for their mental health. If he was dead, he couldn't escape and haunt them some more. They had also found the other associates who had received the same treatment. It was rare that a sentence like that was carried out but I think Bobby had moved heaven and earth with the justice system and had pulled in doctors and therapists for back up. Julie never went but had sent Carlos along with me just to make sure he was dead. I didn't think the kid would want to watch but like me, he was furious at him and wanted to see justice so that our minds could finally move on also. Carlos was now nineteen and in a serious relationship with a girl called Luna. They were both taking a gap year to travel before going to university which was exciting. They were currently in Scotland according to the last letter sent our way.
I turned to another page and saw a picture of my Julie being walked down the aisle by Alex. They had surprised me by throwing a beach wedding at sunset within a few days that turned out perfectly. They had laid the isle path way with tropical flowers and pink candles that led to an arch way decorated with vines and roses. There was no need for chairs or pews since there were only a few of us. Alex obviously was Julie's maid of honor after escorting her with Carlos also standing behind and Reggie was my best man. Bobby even got his marriage license at the last minute so that it would be a small ceremony of just friends. It had all been organized with me having a five minute warning although I was a little suspicious when we were roughly wearing the same outfit, a cotton white shirt with black pants and no shoes. I thought we were going to another Luau but was blown away when I was led blind folded onto the beach only to have revealed a beautiful decorated simple ceremony on the beach.
I had no idea how they managed to get the archway to stay up in the sand but it was beautiful. Off to the side was a small yet elegant table with documents that I guessed were for us. I was speechless back then and had just followed Reggie and listened to his instructions. I had no vows prepared and was quickly trying to think of something. Alex was of no help, he just told me to speak from my heart. When the time came though, words of love and admiration flowed out. Her dress had been beautiful, a cute elegant yet simple dress with short lace sleeves that hugged her curves all the way down to her waist before flowing out into a rippling wave with an upside down v split in the middle to match the v shape dipping down her chest. Someone had weaved white flowers into her hair and when my eyes fell on her, I forgot to breathe for a minute as I smiled warmly at her.
The ceremony was beautiful with Alex passing her over to me and Carlos being the ring bearer. Everything I thought of had been covered and our vows, although mine were last minute, were beautiful. Someone had hired a photographer who took stunning photos all night long of the ceremony, our dancing and cake cutting that had happened at a different part of the beach with a wooden dancing floor. We also had some sun set photos taken before the light disappeared of all of us. The next page had turned onto baby photos of Hannah at different stages of her growth or just in cute outfits.
It felt like a lifetime ago, Alex and Reggie were now in serious relationships, Reggie was actually engaged while Alex was still rather shy but was getting better about showing his feelings. I was happy for both of them and although there might be more kids on the horizon, none of us had any intention of moving out. There were enough rooms for all three families to live comfortably and if we did need more room, there was a field that we had cleared behind us a year ago to build upon if we felt the need to.
"Daddy, what are you doing?" Hannah asked me as she climbed up on the couch to hug my arm. Just like her mother, she enjoyed hugging my limbs like I was a teddy bear
"Hey love, I was just looking at our wedding photos and photos of you. You're getting good at playing the piano" I complimented. Hannah blushed and tried to hide her face in my arm but I was too quick for her and managed to kiss both her cheeks which set her off in a fit of giggles.
"Hannah! Where are you, I need your help with cookie tasting!" Alex yelled from downstairs. Hannah's face immediately lit up with joy and I helped her off the couch so she could race down stairs to find Alex. Julie then sat down next to me and I pulled her into my arms.
"I can't get over that she will be four soon, where did the time go?" she sighed as she nuzzled her face into my neck.
"Me either, Alex and Reggie want to take her dress shopping tomorrow for new dresses with matching shoes" I said before kissing her hair.
"They should be gone for at least half an hour down there, 'taste testing' cookies, did we wanna take a nap?" She asked around a yawn.
I nodded and led her to our bedroom where I locked the door. With any luck maybe we could get an hour or two before anyone thought to look for us. I laid down next to Julie and pulled her into my arms and after a soft kiss, closed my eyes to sleep.
The End!
