Crash Chapter 23

"Sleep to Dream Her"

Randy's POV

'Yes. Yes, I will!' Lauren exclaims excitedly.


A Couple Months Later

Randy's POV

May 17

It's unbelievable what being engaged can do to somebody. I feel like I'm on top of the world right. I'm a changed person from who I was five months ago. Back then, it seemed like everything was going bad. Of course, that's probably because everything was going bad five months ago.

Now my life is all on track. I'm getting married tomorrow. Mine and Lauren's first child is due any day now. I just found out that both Brad and Mark are (by their own choosing) moving back to Detroit.

Yeah, it's going to be just like old times. No, actually, it will also be just like I always imagined it being for me when I grew up.

Sure I'm nervous about being a father and a husband, especially when we haven't even decided for sure where we're going to live yet. Lauren's just been staying in my apartment since my building has an elevator and she's nine months pregnant.

Yes, tomorrow, May 18, at 1:00 pm, Randy Taylor will officially be a married man. And here's to him being a happy man for life.

And now, it is time for me to sleep to dream her.


A/N: It was a little on the short side, but as I've said before, I don't really have any ideas left for this story.

I hope everyone has enjoyed reading it so far.

And just to let everybody know, the 26th and final chapter will be coming on the evening of May 18. (That is in US Central time, so it may be May 19 for some readers). And yes, I'm sure it'll be May 18, because I've had the epilogue for Crash written since August 30 of last year.

Please R&R!

Thanks for reading, everybody. Stay tuned.
