Epilogue
The dim light in Elizabeth's hospital room caught on her wedding ring, causing it to glitter and sparkle. Elizabeth lifted her hand and studied her ring, a smile spreading across her lips. She glanced around the room until her eyes settled on her husband, slumped in a hospital chair, sleeping soundly. On the other side of her bed, her newborn baby girl Grace, slept peacefully. Surrounded by two of the people she loved more than anything, Elizabeth sighed contentedly.
She had never even dared to dream that she could be so happy. Never imagined that she could actually have the life that she wanted with Jason. Elizabeth rose quietly from bed, wincing at the pain left from child birth, and stood beside Grace. She stroked her daughter's hair, smiling as Grace's eyes opened into tiny slits, her daughter mewling at the interruption of sleep. "Shh," Elizabeth soothed, looking over her shoulder at Jason, still sound asleep in the chair.
She smiled as she remembered the way Jason had looked in the delivery room. When the nurse put his daughter in his arms his face held a look of pure happiness. "Jason's going to be a great daddy. He loves you so much Grace," she whispered to her daughter. "After what happened with Lucky I never thought I could be this happy. I love your daddy, more than he'll ever know. And now we're a family," Elizabeth said happily, tears running down her cheeks.
Jason sat in the chair wide awake, listening to his wife talk. His eyes brimmed with tears, his heart tight with emotion. He'd never thought he'd hear Elizabeth say anything like that about him, never thought she could really love him as much as he loved her.
Jason rose from the chair and quietly walked over to where Elizabeth stood. He wrapped her in his arms, turning her to face him. Elizabeth looked up into his eyes, the dim light catching on the unshed tears in his eyes, making them shimmer. She brought her hand up to cup his face, caressing it tenderly. "I love you Jason," she said softly. "I love you too Elizabeth," he whispered, his lips claiming hers.
