Alright everyone...here it is the final chapter of Butterflies. Thank you for reading. This chapter is going to be third person...you'll see why.

Kelsi closed her laptop and stretched her arms as high as they could reach. She had just completed a part of her life story...or a part of their life story. She was not sure what possessed her to write about high school and college...all she knew was that she started early in the evening and wasn't able to stop until it was done. It had been quite an emotional ride...one she actually had not been expecting. Those years were pretty much the pinnacle of drama in her and Ryan's relationship. After that first kiss everything was smooth sailing. But it was refreshing to relive it in a way. To see how much both of them had grown and how much both of them were willing to fight for one another.

After setting her laptop down Kelsi wandered over to the pictures covering the walls in the living room. She smiled a gentle smile as she viewed her and Ryan's wedding day. All of their friends were in the background smiling into the camera, except for her and Ryan...no, they were gazing lovingly at each other. It was like they had been oblivious to the camera the whole night. Her eyes also took in the picture of her and Ryan smiling brightly, wrapped in one another's arms at the premiere of High School Musical. Their creation ended up becoming bigger than either of them ever imagined. Finally, Kelsi's gaze traveled to a picture frame where a miniature version of her self, with the exception of shining blond hair grinned back at her. Just looking at the picture made Kelsi's body move away from the wall and towards a bedroom with a dim light shining into the hallway.

Kelsi felt her heart fill as she took in the sleeping child seeming so small in her twin bed...her and Ryan's child. Her daughter's daffodil yellow room was filled with hand made framed drawings and a growth chart. Pictures adorned the walls and dressers, reminding the child on a daily basis of how much she is loved. Above her bed, hand-painted wooden letters spell out the name "Sabrina." Kelsi tiptoes over to her daughter's bed, bending down so she can be eye-level with her little love. She gently takes Sabrina's hat off and places it on her night stand next to her tiny pink- framed glasses. (A gift from her Aunt Sharpay.) As light as a butterfly, Kelsi lets her hands move through her daughter's light blond curls, humming softly the whole while. Not even noticing the figure that has filled the doorway.

Ryan took in the scene before him, ignoring the tears that threatened to fall. Ryan had seen many beautiful sights in his lifetime, but none would ever compare to the picture his wife and daughter made. The feelings that took over his body were almost overwhelming, but then, he was used to that. They were the same emotions that took over every time he saw his girls. He had thought Kelsi was the only person he would ever feel that deeply for, but the moment the doctor placed Sabrina in his arms he knew there were now two women who owned his heart.

Kelsi felt him there before she even acknowledged him with her eyes. The butterflies always let her know. She carefully stood up and moved towards her husband. Their hands met and they just stood there in the doorway of their daughter's room taking one another in. Verbal communication was not necessary, their mouths and bodies met in a sweet, while passionate kiss.

Softy Ryan whispered to Kelsi...

"Always you."

The End

I have had another idea for a Ryelsi story that I am hoping to start sometime this week. I am going to hold off on the sequel to Butterflies for the moment, but it is something I hope to accomplish soon.

Thanks everyone!
