Here's the last chapter! Really glad this story is finally done!
Chapter 21
5 years later:
"Mommy, come on! We're late already," said 5 year old Lizzie jumping up and down.
"Calm down, Liz, we are not late," said Sara. She and Nick were getting ready to go for a dinner just the two of them and they had to send Lizzie to Greg's first.
"You guys are so slow!" cried Lizzie dramatically on the floor.
"Stop being a drama queen Lizzie and since when do you like to go to Uncle Greg's so much?" asked Nick.
"He's my godfather, I love visiting him," said Lizzie unconvincingly.
"Nice try, Lizzie," said Sara who knew her daughter so well, she could see right through her.
"Okay! Because he got that new video game that you won't buy for me," said Lizzie.
"Ask your mommy about that," said Nick. He really did not mind buying Lizzie that game because he wanted to play it too. That remark of him earned him a deathly glare from Sara.
"Not now, Lizzie, and why do you want to play video games? You're a girl," said Sara. She thought she would have the pink lover, Barbie dolls kind of daughter, but no, she got a daughter just like herself when she was a child, always playing with boys, hate wearing skirts and very spunky.
"Girls can play games too!" whined Lizzie.
"Okay, okay, we'll have this conversation later, we gotta go to Uncle Greg's now," said Nick.
"Yay!" cried Lizzie.
They just arrived at Greg's when they pulled up they saw a blonde woman kissing him and got into a car and drove off. Sara and Nick were surprised because they did not know Greg was seeing anyone. Lizzie just said "Eww! Uncle Greg kissed!"
They knocked on Greg's door and came Greg shirtless at the door.
"Greg!" cried Sara.
"Eww!" cried Lizzie at the same time. She took Nick's hand and covered her eyes.
"Sorry," said Greg and ran towards his room. Nick, Sara and Lizzie came into the house. Few seconds later Greg came back with a Greenday shirt on.
"Sorry about that, forgot you were coming," said Greg.
"Obviously, especially with a certain blonde all over you," said Nick. Greg just blushed.
"Uncle Greg, can I go play your video games now?" asked Lizzie, her hands on her hips.
"Yeah, sure Liz."
"Lizzie, say hello to Uncle Greg first, don't be rude," scolded Sara.
"Uncle Greg doesn't mind," said Lizzie distracted by the game.
"Elizabeth," said Nick sounding serious. Lizzie knew better not to mess with her parents when they started calling her with her real name. She paused the game and walked over to Greg.
"Hi Uncle Greg," said Lizzie. Greg bent over and kissed her cheek.
"Don't mind your parents, you can play my games anytime and I even have some chocolate cake in the fridge."
"Really?" asked Lizzie. Her eyes could not get any wider.
"Yeah," said Greg smiling. Lizzie started to run towards the fridge when she was halted by Sara again.
"Eat your dinner first, Lizzie," said Sara. Lizzie just groaned.
"What are we having, Uncle Greg?"
"Pizza," answered Greg.
Lizzie cheered with joy and ran to hug Greg.
"I love you Uncle Greg, you're the best!"
Greg just laughed at her.
"Can I have extra cheese and pepperoni?"
"Anything you want."
"Thanks, Uncle Greg," said Lizzie kissing Greg's cheek and ran towards the video games.
"You're making me look bad, Greg," said Nick jokingly.
"It's my job, I'm supposed to spoil her rotten and you guys are supposed to be the bad guys," said Greg. Sara just rolled her eyes at Greg.
"So, tell me about this blonde friend of yours," said Sara smiling. Again Greg blushed just at the mention of the woman.
"She's just a friend," said Greg unconvincingly.
"You kiss all your friends?"
"You guys saw that? Man, this is so embarrassing," said Greg.
"Why didn't you tell me you were seeing someone?" asked Sara whacking Greg on the head.
"Ow! God Nick, how do you put up with her?" asked Greg rubbing his head. That earned him a punch in the arm.
"I didn't want to jix it, that's why I didn't tell you."
"That's stupid! How long have you been seeing her?" asked Sara.
"8 months."
"8 months?" asked Sara unbelievingly.
"Yeah, and I proposed to her, she said yes," said Greg smiling like the McDonalds clown.
"Oh my god, Greg!" shrieked Sara. Both men just winced.
"This is huge," said Sara.
"Yeah, I really love her, she's perfect," said Greg.
"When can we meet her?" asked Sara eagerly.
"I don't know, maybe we can set a double date," said Greg.
"Speaking of dates, we're late for our reservations, Sara," said Nick.
"Oh, okay, Greg you have to tell me more about her."
"Okay, okay," said Greg smiling.
"Lizzie, we're going now," called Nick.
But Lizzie did not come out. Only the sound of the video games that they could hear.
"Lizzie?" called Sara.
"Lizzie, come here," said Greg.
Few seconds later Lizzie came out with her mouth and hands covered with chocolate. She looked guilty and scared at the same time.
"Lizzie," started Sara. Greg just chuckled.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was hungry," said Lizzie flailing her arms around. That only made things worse because bits of chocolate flew onto the floor. Greg quickly took her hands from moving or touching anything.
"You two go, I can handle this."
"Are you sure?" asked Greg.
"Yeah, go ahead."
"Bye mommy, bye daddy," said Lizzie waving her chocolate covered hands.
"Bye honey, love you," said Sara.
"Love you too," said Lizzie. Greg lifted her and brought her to the sink. Before Nick and Sara closed the door they heard Lizzie said, "Uncle Greg, when can we eat pizza?"
Nick and Sara just sighed. But they loved her more than anything in the world. She was the reason they realised their feelings for each other. Lizzie really changed their lives for the better.
"Your daughter's gonna drive Greg up the wall," said Sara.
"Oh, so when she misbehaves, she's my daughter?" asked Nick jokingly.
"Well, yeah," said Sara taking another bite of her dessert. They were at an Italian restaurant having a romantic dinner.
"Even though she can be a little devil sometimes I still love her more than anything," said Nick linking his hand with Sara's.
"Yeah, me too," said Sara.
"And I'm very glad Greg found someone that's right for him," said Sara.
"Yeah, he's been through a lot and he deserves to be happy," said Nick indicating the events few years back.
"Nick, do you regret anything that had happened?" asked Sara.
"Of course not, you don't even have to ask that, if any of that didn't happen, I wouldn't be here with you and have Lizzie as my daughter," said Nick rubbing circles on the back of Sara's hand with his thumb.
"I don't regret how things turned out too, you really make my life worth living," said Sara looking at their weddings.
"I love you, Sara, very much," whispered Nick.
"I love you too, Nick."
Sara felt her life had been completed. Who knew a drunken one night stand was the most perfect mistake she had ever made?
