When the idea for a fic with Jesse as a modern guy popped into my head, I'd never thought it would have so many readers!!!! In fact, I think the ratio of readers of this fic might just be higher than that of Ghosts equal to Boyfriend-Stealers! The epilogue is dedicated to my dearest lovely readers as follows:

(1) laurenereads07

(2) inzie23

(4) xxxsakuraxxxx

(5) Foolish Angel in the Darkness

(6) Brianda.G

(7) Angel.By.Day-Devil.By.Night

Guys…I love you!!! Seriously…thanks for being such faithful readers. Y'all rock.

And oh yeah, I've decided to make the epilogue a 'songilogue' (song + epilogue equals songilogue ;D) with Umbrella by Rihanna.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Mediator or the song Umbrella, but I do own the plotline.


A Fate Undeserved

EPILOGUE

You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines,
But you'll still be my star.
Baby, 'cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars,
And that's when you need me there,
With you I'll always share

We sat together in Jesse's open convertible, curled up together in the back seat (we had shifted behind because the gearshift was digging into me). The radio was playing at a very low volume, just barely audible. It was drizzling.

I put my head up from where I was resting it on his chest and kissed him on the lips. "I love you, Jesse."

"I love you too, Susannah."

When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'm gonna stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

"I was meaning to ask you…"

"Yes, querida?"

"Two things, actually."

"Go on."

"Okay. First, what does 'querida' mean?"

Jesse chuckled deeply.

"Please! Temme what it means!"

"Well…querida means 'sweetheart' in Spanish."

"Oh…"

"Why? Do you want me to stop calling you querida?"

"No way!" I replied quickly. "I love it when you call me that."

Jesse smiled and nodded. "You said you wanted to ask me something else, too?"

"Yeah," I said. "I was wondering…how long have you liked me?"

Jesse smiled. "For me, it was love at first sight."

"Oh, Jesse." I rested my head on his chest once again. I felt Jesse breathe into my open, damp (because of the rain) hair.

"Querida?"

"Yeah?"

"I want to thank you."

"What for?" I looked up in surprise.

"For everything. You gave me a second chance…something no one else could do."

I smiled at him.

These fancy things will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
When the war has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart

"Oh, trust me, it was more to my advantage than yours."

Jesse looked surprised. "How?"

"Well, you were the one thing I wanted since I set my eyes on you."

"Really?" He blushed a little.

"Yup." I couldn't help grinning.

You can run into my arms
It's okay, don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more

"Hey…I love this song…Rihanna's one of my favorites." I said, turning up the volume as Umbrella came on.

After a minute, Jesse grinned at me and said, "You can always stand under my umbrella, querida."


Aw…I hope the epilogue was nice and fluffy, and the fanfic as a whole was interesting. Please review. You'll make my day.

Hugs and kisses to my awesome readers for reading, reviewing and supporting me. And – using a very commonly used phrase on FanFiction (and one I find very cute) – y'all rock my socks off!! Lol
