*Epilogue*


I didn't know how long me and Ben had been lying in silence cuddled together before Ben finally broke the silence and asked what had happened after he blacked out in my arms. However when he asked he did offer that if it was too much for me at the moment then he understood; I then reminded him that I didn't mind telling him what had happened. I stand by what I said; I could go through anything as long as I had Ben by my side.

Ben then lay silently as I told him how we got him to hospital, our brief moment before he was wheeled away for surgery and me getting checked over for my head injury. It was at this point when Ben asked about the pain and bleeding; and I playfully told him that I was getting to it which made him chuckle before he pressed a kiss against the top of my head. I then told him how our family walked into my cubicle and told me about Bobby's friend; which caused my stomach pain and bleeding. At this point Ben tightened his arm around me, before he pressed a kiss against the top of his head. I know that this must have been hard from him to hear; but I was quick to reassure him.

I then told him about how I was quickly checked over and how Belle and Evie stayed with me throughout; when I told him that they stayed with me throughout my scan I watched as his eyes lit up at this. He then told me that even though it was in a bad situation he liked how I got to share that moment with his mother and Evie; as it made them feel more involved in our pregnancy. I understood what he meant; as it was such a profound moment for the three of us and I was glad that I was able to share it with them - given the circumstances.

It was at this point when there was a knock on the door before it opened and Adam appeared; I watched as he smiled at the position that me and Ben were now in.

"Is it ok that we come back in?" he questioned. "Or are you wanting more time alone?" he asked. Me and Ben both looked at each other for a few seconds before turning around to look back at Adam.

"You can come in" we both said together, which made Adam laugh before he quickly turned to leave - obviously going to get the others. As the door closed behind him I heard a laugh and I turned to watch my tired husband grin down at me.

"It would appear that we are in sync, my love" he teased.

"Benny" I sang. "I thought you already knew that" I winked at him before I cuddled back into his chest. I heard him chuckle once more as we cuddled tightly together; as we waited for our family to re-join us - very happy to have our loved ones around us in our time of need.


It was a few moments before Adam walked back into the room, this time he was quickly followed by Belle, Evie, Jay and Carlos. I noted the warm looks in their eyes when they landed on us; and Evie quickly ran up to my bed and sat on it so she was on my other side - which I had no problem with, as I was currently still snuggled into my husband.

Ben then stated how disappointed he was at the fact that he hadn't been able to announce my pregnancy; we then decided on how we were going to announce it - unfortunately we both had to be out of hospital before this could happen. I felt the same way as Ben; it was disappointing that our lives and plans had to be put on hold due to another failed venture from Bobby. However this should and would be the final attempt, Bobby was on the Isle of the Lost with no means of causing any problems, and I don't think Chad or the others felt the need to retaliate in any way. It looked like every loose thread of this whole sorry mess had been taken care of. And all that was left was to make sure that nothing like this ever happened again; and to live happily ever after as a family.


Hey guys,

Many thanks for coming on this journey with me, it does mean a lot. I'm just over the moon at the fact that I have been able to complete this series in its entirety which means you get to read it. It also means I now have time to work on our main series (which I know you will be happy about) so you should get chapters for my main story more quicker now.

I can't wait to see what you think of this part of our story; as like I have said before this wasn't even meant to be part of our story. But this idea came to me and I decided to play with it to see where it would take me.

Finally the final instalment of the 'Learning to Love' series (Learning to Love: Epilogue) is about to be posted.

See you on the flipside!

Much love,
