A/N: Last chapter of this story I don't know if I will keep the second story under this document but either way it will be up soon maybe after a week or so I'm not sure. Leave reviews at the end pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee:)
I wake up slowly tossing and turning out of my sleep. I grab my phone and see the left over birthday wishes. I didn't even have to turn over to know that Ian wasn't in bed. I did the human morning routine but didn't feel like putting on clothes. I walked out to the living room where Ian was sitting with his laptop on the couch.
I sat next to him, "Good morning sweetheart."
"Good morning love," Ian closed his laptop then froze when he looked at me. "You look so gorgeous only wearing your engagement ring."
I couldn't help but blush and look down at my hands. "Hey no hiding from me," he said before lifting my face up to his and planting a sweet kiss on my lips. Before I knew it, I was straddling him with his hands gripping my behind and my arms around his neck.
"Hungry?"
"Not really when do we have to leave?"
Ian looked at his watch, "We have to be out of here in maybe two hours."
"Oh two hours of whatever we want?"
"Well… yeah."
I couldn't hide my conniving smile as I grasped the bottom of his shirt and pulled it over his head. I hook my fingers into the waistband of his pants, "If you couldn't tell I want you bad right now," I whispered in his ear then gently kiss up his perfectly chiseled jaw.
Ian lays me on my back on the couch. His hands glide up my body skimming over my breasts. "We're going to have a lot of fun in two hours," Ian says in his deep sexy voice pulling my legs apart placing them on each side of his waist.
We walk on to the plane hand in hand leaving behind the gentle Seattle air. I sit down across from Ian and just look at him feeling completely satisfied with just his presence. I couldn't believe how well everything was going it was happening fast but it was still good.
"When do you want to tell people?"
"Well by time we get back to Covington everyone will already know," he handed me his phone showing that we made headlines in the Washington Post along with Yahoo, People, TMZ, and Perez Hilton.
"Is it bad that I forget you are famous?"
"No but it's bad that you forget you're famous too."
"Barely anyways are you leaving me when we get back home?"
"Yeah I'm sorry babe I have to go check on everything from the sound of it, Cody has been doing fine but I still want to make sure."
"Do you really have to go? I know that sounds so clingy of me but I just want to relax and watch a movie I don't know just something simple."
"That sounds very good maybe we can do that when I get back from work I'll be there for three hours tops."
I raised an eyebrow, "Oh just three?"
Ian chuckled, "Fine two."
"That's better. Gosh I still can't believe were engaged."
"Is that a good or bad thing?"
"Hmm good I always saw myself getting married at around twenty-two but I never in a million years thought I would be marrying you."
"I never thought about marriage with Nina I guess when we got to that step to even consider it I met you."
"I'm glad you didn't marry her. I wonder how work will be now."
"You're going to have to start signing your name Tiara Somerhalder and when you pick up the phone you will have to say Tiara Somerhalder speaking. You will have to change all legal matters to your soon to be new name Tiara Somerhalder. I want the whole world to know that you are mine."
"I can tell it seems like you already like the sound of Tiara Somerhalder."
"I really do it is like the perfect combination."
"Can't even imagine how you feel about your children's names."
"I had an idea already about what I would want to name our first boy or girl."
"What is that?"
"Christian Trevelyan Grey Somerhalder and Anastasia Rose Steele Somerhalder." I tried hiding my gigantic smile but failed miserably. "What you don't like it?"
"That's exactly what I had in mind."
Ian smiled, "Four hours until we're home fiancée."
After having everything settled at home, Ian and I split up going our separate ways. He offers to drive me over to Cody and Cheynne's but I decided to just drive myself. We exchange goodbye kisses and I love yous then take off. Before I have the chance to ring the doorbell, Cheynne opens the door.
"Let me see it!"
"Hello to you too. How was my day? Great thanks for asking." I say walking in towards the living room.
"Sorry now show me the damn ring!"
I put my left hand out flashing off the rock on my finger. "Good lord even shinier in person."
I laughed, "I guess. I'm not use to it yet but if I take it off I will want it back. How have you and Cody been?"
"Really good I don't like having him come home so late I don't understand how you survive it with Ian."
"Well I'm there with him so if I miss him touching me or the sound of his voice I just walk five feet."
"You don't mind being under him all the time?"
"Seeing him in his element is quite attractive so I don't mind."
Cheynne smiled, "You two make a gorgeous couple so when is the wedding?"
"I don't know we haven't talked about it the only thing we have really talked about is children."
"…You're pregnant already?" Cheynne screamed in pure shock.
"No! We just talked about names and when we want kids, which is not now."
"Thank god it's soon to get married but even sooner to have children. Are you going to talk to your parents again?"
"No I mean what's the point? I have my brothers that's all I need. I don't need my parents bringing me their drama that I ran away from."
"I still can't believe that the whole family split up out of nowhere."
"It was bound to happen Ian and I haven't even gotten into my family."
"I guess you should handle that soon since most of the time families come to the wedding."
"Sadly…. I just don't feel like having a big therapy session with them it's pointless because they refuse to see my point of view."
"I understand but I really do think that you should talk to them well the whole family together. If they don't understand still then don't waste your time anymore. Do you ever miss London?"
"Sometimes I miss the more simplistic days but thinking about not knowing all the people that we know now makes me want to stay."
"I want to go back one day and take Cody to see everything that we saw. We should plan a group vacation to London one weekend maybe Christmas since it's a month away."
"Now Christmas in London sounds fanta-"
"You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream the way you turn me on. This is real let's run awa-" I pull my phone out my pocket and answer.
"Hey there what do you need?"
"Did you finish the new outline for the site?"
"Sure did hon a paper copy should be on my desk."
"Oh okay gorgeous I see it. I can't wait to come back home to you."
"Neither can I, I love you."
"I love you too bye."
"Bye."
"Hey Cheynne I got to go I just had an idea to cook dinner."
She was grinning big, "Okay and I love your ringtone for Ian."
I laughed and walked out to my car. I threw my keys on the counter but before I could wash my hands, the doorbell rang.
"Coming!" I run to the door the best way I know how when wearing heels. I open the door to a green-eyed brunette woman.
"Hi I'm Ashley Greene sorry to bother you."
"Oh no you're fine and who is this little guy?" A little boy maybe two years old hides behind her leg. I squat down so that we are eye level, "Hi I'm Tiara and what's your name?"
His blue eyes take my breath away, "Luke," the dark brown haired boy mumbled.
"A very cool name for a handsome little man come on in I think I have some cookies in the kitchen."
Luke smiles and takes my hand as all three of us walk to the kitchen. I grab the jar of chocolate chip cookies off the shelf, "Is it okay if he has one?"
"Yeah just like every other kid he loves sweets."
I open up the jar and Luke sticks his small hand in and pulls out two cookies. "I take it that this is your son?"
"Yup Luke James Greene."
I look at her a little puzzled then look back at Luke why do his eyes look so familiar?
"He has my last name because his father isn't in the picture."
"Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. I guess that's why I haven't seen your son in any tabloids."
"I wanted to keep him out of the public eye most people don't even know I have a son."
"Your figure deceives them."
We both laugh but Ashley's smile quickly fades, "That is kind of why I came here. I was hoping to talk to Ian as well but I take it that he is not here?"
"No he will be home soon though he is at work."
"I saw that you two are newly engaged and I figured that I should come clean."
"Okay well go ahead you can tell me anything."
"I'm sure you know that Ian and I dated awhile back but we had a little fling about two years ago right before he got with Nina."
"Well I knew the first part but okay I understand he is an attractive man he will get women."
"Yeah um he was debating dating Nina and we were just friends but…."
I began to tune her out subconsciously as I looked at Luke's eyes there was just something about them that sent shivers up my spine. I racked my brain trying to figure out why they looked so familiar. I went through every actor, actress, musician, model, friend, and acquaintance I knew. It felt like someone had knocked the wind out of me when I took a huge gasp.
"He's Ian's son." I mumbled more to myself than to Ashley.
"…I believe that he is the timing was a little too convenient."
"Um… wow he looks just like him it's scary."
"That's why I haven't asked my other ex-boyfriend because I can't go around blabbing about my secret child and he looks so much like Ian I just thought that he was the father."
"Why didn't you tell him sooner?"
"When I figured out that I was pregnant I had just left my boyfriend maybe two weeks before then I had sex with Ian a little bit later so it was a 50/50 shot. I was going to tell him but then I saw that he and Nina had broken up and that he was saying how he had his eyes on another woman already. I didn't want to get in the way of that then this morning I saw you two were engaged and I figured it was now or never."
I had no clue what to say or what to do any second Ian would be walking through the front door discovering a life-changing secret. The more I looked at Luke the more tears rose to the surface.
"Please don't cry I didn't mean to cause any trouble I thought I was doing the right thing."
"No I understand and you are doing the right thing… excuse me for a moment."
I walked upstairs and paced around in the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror trying to sort through the millions of thoughts in my head. You shouldn't be here this should all be Ashley's… Ian has a family he doesn't need you. You shouldn't even be here right now this is a moment for Ian, Ashley, and Luke. Just leave pack your bags and leave never looking back there is no point. In a month, you will see the magazine spreads of their wedding. Ian will marry her instead to try to make things right since he always takes blame. For once, all my negative thoughts were right….
I went back down to the kitchen and handed Ashley an envelope, "Give this to Ian this explains everything."
"Wait are you leaving him? You can't leave him especially like this especially now."
"It's the right thing to do… just give it to him no need to tell him anything about me in the envelope is all the explanation he needs." I grab my keys, walk to the door where my one suitcase waits, get in the car, and drive off.
About Five Minutes Later Point of View: Ian Somerhalder
"Tiara! Baby where are you?" I yell as I shut the front door behind me. I begin to walk to the kitchen until I see a little head peeking around the corner. Everything inside me turns to stone he looks just like me.
"Hi I'm Luke," the little boy waves his hand at me. I was too shocked to react.
I hear frantic footsteps heading towards us.
"Tiara left. I tried to stop her but she's gone."
Why is my ex here? "Why are you here though?"
"I came here to tell both of you something but she was only here. Tiara told me to just tell her what I needed to since you were going to be home soon."
"What would you tell her that would make her leave su-" I had finally put two and two together when I saw Ashley's facial expression go from worried to sadness. "He's my son isn't he?"
"I think so."
"Oh my god…. The resemblance is uncanny why didn't you tell me this before?"
"No one knows about him I didn't want him on the cover of magazines and I couldn't come tell you because you were with Nina. I thought I should tell you before anything got any more serious with Tiara. I really didn't mean to cause any trouble I wasn't looking to get anything from you I just wanted to let you know that you possibly have a son."
My mind was spinning I had no clue what to do first, look for Tiara or sort out this son business. "Did Tiara tell you where she went?"
"No all she said was to give you this envelope."
I took the envelope and opened it to see Tiara's phone, a handwritten letter, and her engagement ring. Without a second thought, I began to run out the door until I realized I was leaving possibly my son. "Ashley make yourself at home there's plenty of rooms to choose from I have to go find her."
I jumped into my Audi sped off down the road dialing Cheynne, "Have you heard from her?"
"Who?"
"Tiara she is gone she left her phone so I have no way of tracking her."
"I… what? She was just over here but she didn't mention leaving Ian what happened?"
"I'll explain later." I hung up and dialed Cody. "Have you seen Tiara?"
"Uh no not since yesterday morning why?"
"She ran off out of nowhere and I have no idea where she is because she left her phone."
"Maybe she walked over to my place."
"No she left I just called Cheynne too and she hadn't heard from her since a while ago. Tiara had her phone on her so I know she left it on purpose."
"What happened did you piss her off or something?"
"Why the fuck would I be calling you asking where she is if I had just saw her?"
"I don't know where she is I don't know anything but go check the airport or something. She can't get that far your faces are plastered everywhere."
"Good idea I'll explain all of this later." I hung up and drove as fast as I could until I got another call,
"What?"
"Uh Mr. Somerhalder we were informed by your acting C.E.O. Cody Caldwell that you were looking for your fiancée."
"Yes and?"
"She's here right now. One of my associates is pulling all of her money off of her accounts."
"Stop now!"
"Once we start we can't stop we can try and slow it down."
"Great do whatever you have to do."
I hung up and embraced my inner Need for Speed. Luckily I was only another five minutes away. I double-parked not caring at all about what other people would think. I ran into American Bank & Trust and automatically looked around for Tiara.
"She is in the back room with Jim Davis."
I ran down the hall and stopped when I saw the name on the door. "Where's my fiancée?"
"Sir I'm not allowed to-"
"Fucking tell me where she is or I will have your job now tell me."
"Miss Green just walked to the back entrance."
"Well where the hell is it?"
"Keep going straight and to the left."
Just as I had reached the door, I saw her blue SRX down the street. I got back in my car and went after her. I would lose sight of her occasionally but I knew where she was heading… the airport. I so desperately wanted to be mad at Tiara but what woman would stay if they found out their fiancé had a son that was at least two. I wanted to blame all of this on Ashley for not telling me as soon as she found out but what would I have even done then.
I pulled into the parking lot and circled around until I saw Tiara's parked car. I drove up to the front doors and ran inside. In a crowd full of strangers, I was looking for the one woman I loved. I looked at the departing flights and saw San Antonio, Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami, New York, Richmond, Chesapeake, Columbus, and Tennessee. I figured she would go back home to her family in Chesapeake so I ran to E12. When I got there, they were closing the doors.
"Wait I have to get on there!"
"I'm sorry sir the doors are closed."
"All I have to do is go find my fiancé and I will be right off the plane."
"I know I saw her get on and by the looks of it she doesn't want to be bothered."
"Who are you to decide that? I might never see her again because of belligerent people like you. You're a woman wouldn't you want the guy you loved to come running after you?"
"...Yes but I'm sorry."
"All you have to do is let me on."
"I would if I could but look."
The woman pointed towards the window to a plane speeding down the runway. I felt as if my heart had been yanked out my chest dragging behind with the plane.
"I wish I knew where the plane was actually going. All I know is that Chesapeake is just a five minute layover most people are going past there but I don't remember where that is I'm so sorry."
I nodded and went back to the car with anger boiling up with tears. I opened the envelope with my name written on the front. I took a deep breath before opening the letter that would tear my world apart.
I'm sure you know that Ashley came to see you and I. She told me that you two slept together before you started dating Nina which was about two years ago. I'm not mad at all; if you don't believe anything else I write believe that I don't blame you. I left because I shouldn't have been there you belong to Ashley and Luke they deserve a fair chance to be with you. I know you love me and I you but that's not enough. We got past Tyler and Nina but Luke is too big of a bridge to cross. Don't yell at Cody, Cheynne, or my brothers because they know nothing. When I get to where I'm going, I have no clue what I'm going to do. I do know that I will hide because the whole world knows who I am now. My one request is that you forget me as if I were a figment of your imagination. You don't need me you're a smart, funny, attractive man you will find another woman that loves you just as much as you love her. That was always a problem for me not being able to love you as much as you loved me. My sick insecurities and problems are to blame. I don't know if I'm scared or not but right now, all I know is that I love you a lot. Me leaving may seem like I don't love you but it's the exact reason why I left. You deserve better than me, a fair chance at a semi-normal life. The woman who gets your heart will be one special woman and I hope for happiness for both of you. I'll miss waking up to you, exchanging flirtatious looks across rooms, spontaneous dinners, feeling your warm body against mine, rising and falling with your chest, and the thing I will miss the most is hearing your heartbeat as I lay with you enjoying each other's company. I know in a month's time you will have forgotten all about problematic Tiara Alexandria Green. It's better that I left this way so we didn't have to face each other or shed unnecessary tears. I'm sorry you wasted almost a year and a half on me when you could've been already building a family with your soul mate. Ian you're a good man I may make you feel like a completed man but you are the one that is good you don't need me to make you better. You are so perfect in every way possible and it's so intimidating but so inviting at the same time. Do what you do best make the world a better place with your thoughts on animals, efficient energy, politics, and helping the ones in need. I'm sure I will think about you as I walk the lonely streets but I'll be fine. If we run into each other again, it will be pure coincidence because I'm trying to give you your space to be free. Take care of the company, Cheynne, Cody, Paul, Ashley, and Luke. Thank you for the great memories and probably the best birthday ever but sadly, we won't have any more memories together. You don't understand how bad I will want to be holding you instead of my depressing thoughts as I create tear soaked pillows. Please forget about me every trace of me erase it because I'm not coming back. Please don't look for me and don't dwell on what we had because it's gone forever. Remember the last time I said I love you and remember the last time I said your name if you must reminisce about us. I'm sorry again for everything I put you through, but this is the last time you will hear from me.
Tears run down my face, how am I supposed to survive?
