Hello everyone. This is the final chapter of Love Remains the Same. I've had a hard time deciding how to end this, and went through a few different drafts before this came to me the other night as I was falling asleep. It's short, but the more I tossed it around, the more it seemed to fit. God works in wondrous ways!

Love Remains the Same

I never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But love remains the same

Jared's POV

Have you ever been so blissfully happy that you wonder when it will end or worry that it's a dream? That's the way I feel about my life as it is. I look down at the beauty sleeping in my arms and wonder what I did to deserve her. I'm Jared Reid and she's an angel. Her dark hair covers half of her face, but the visible section of her face is peaceful and calm in sleep. Her long lashes flutter as she opens her eyes, and a smile appears after a small yawn. "Good morning, Daddy." "Good morning sweetheart." Kelsey leaps out of bed with the energy only a five year old could have that early in the morning. She seemed to have forgotten the nightmare that had brought her to my bed the night before. "Where is Mommy?" She glanced around the room anxiously. "I think she's in the kitchen sweetie." As she bounded out of the room I could hear her excited voice. "Good morning Mommy. Is baby coming yet?" I chuckled as I rolled myself out of bed.

Two weeks ago Kim and I told Kelsey she was going to be a big sister, and every morning she asked us if it was here yet. Kim. There are not enough adjectives to describe what she is to me. The past ten years were more than I could have ever asked for. She is just as beautiful if not more so than she was ten years ago. My feelings for her have never depleted. Every time I see her, my heart still races, and I would never want it any other way.

I followed Kelsey into the kitchen and wrapped my arms around my wife's beautifully growing middle. "Morning." I mumbled as I kissed her neck. "Morning." She replied turning to kiss me quickly before returning to the eggs frying in front of her. Kelsey was already sitting at our small kitchen table, gabbing away about one of her kindergarten friends. If you would have told me years ago that I would give up being a werewolf to be a father and a husband, I would have laughed at you. But if on that first day back at school, the day I saw Kim for the first time, you told me all of that would be with her, I would have stopped phasing as quickly as possible.

I guess that no matter what might change in your life, love remains the same.

Fin.
