This is the final chapter! Ah! I've loved this story, and I think this is the most I've written since I started writing a year and a half ago. I'm glad I did TT25. (: ...but next time I think I'll stick to drabbles. ;)



I waited in the lobby with the rest of the ecstatic fans while the boys showered and got dressed in their suits. More pictures were waiting to be snapped and there was a keg waiting at Emmett's house with our names written on it. We knew we'd need it, whether we won or lost. We were either going to drink away our sorrows or celebrate. Thankfully it was in celebration.

Alice was bouncing around, hugging moms and dads and squealing with younger sisters. This was her scene. She fit right in with excited. Rosalie was grinning as she listened to Emmett's dad explain the game to her. Jasper's parents were talking to Esme excitedly. There was an awesome feeling in the air. Winning never felt so good.

The younger guys were the first ones to come up the stairs. They all grinned and looked at the floor, their hands shoved in their pockets as we cheered for them. Ben kissed Angela in front of the entire crowd, causing an eruption to occur. Angela blushed fiercely and smiled. Garrett whooped and hollered as he made his way through the crowd. I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek when he stopped to say hi to me. I hadn't seen him grin that wide in a while.

Eric, Mike, and Tyler came up next. Eric and Kate hugged and kissed, while Mike and Tyler played up the crowd, getting claps on the back from the dads and hugs from the moms. Jasper, Emmett, and Edward followed soon after. Since Edward was the captain and Emmett was the assistant-captain, they received the most cheers. Alice jumped at Jasper, kissing him loudly on the mouth before smiling for the cameras. Emmett spun Rosalie around in his arms, his booming laughter echoing throughout the room. Edward hugged me tightly and got pictures with me before going with the rest of his team.

I watched fondly as my boys celebrated and smiled. All the nervousness was gone, replaced with joy so immense you couldn't help but to be affected by it. They ate their burgers quickly and said goodbye to their parents before changing into party clothes and taking off for Emmett's house while the parents all remained at the rink to sit in the bar for hours to talk about the glory of their sons.

Edward and I decided that we were going to stay at Emmett's tonight, so we hopped in Edward's truck and sped towards his farm. I sat in the middle seat, my hand in Edward's hair, the music cranked, and beer already cracked and being drunk. We sang to Down With Webster and Lady Antebellum, the only country band Edward could handle.

People were piling into the house when we got there. The entire hockey team and all of our non-athletic friends were at the house, tapping into the keg and getting trashed in honour of the Kings.

Games were played, stories were shared, laughter was loud. Everything about this party reeked of happiness and I was bursting with contentment. Edward and I got absolutely hammered drunk and partied with our friends without regard to how much it'd hurt in the morning. Nothing mattered but the good time we were having in the present.

When it was time to go home and my eyes kept rolling into the back of my head, Edward and I walked into the spare room and collapsed on the bed. I laid my head on his heartbeat and fell asleep to the rhythm.

Life couldn't possibly get any better than that night. That night was happiness without restrictions, and I loved every second of it.


It was short, but there isn't much to say. The epilogue will be posted tonight, after I finish editing. Thank you for reading. So much. You have no idea how it means to me when you guys give me a review. I love you all infinite amounts.

Love,
Mary
