Epilouge
7 months had gone by since that morning of reconciliation in the Kitchen.
Although they chose to reconcile, much work was needed in the relationship between Melanie and Derwin. Melanie still had her worries and Derwin still harbored resentment. Finally, breaking down Derwin asked Melanie to go to counseling. Because to him divorce was not an option.
Turns out counseling was the best thing they ever did for their relationship. It was stronger. Much more stronger than either thought it could ever be. And because of this, Dj and his mother were present at Nia's first birthday party. There were no death rays, nasty comments, or harbored feelings on Melanie's part.
Melanie trusted Derwin. He was still playing football. Home games Melanie, Dj and Nia were there decked out in his Jersey. And after every away game Derwin was on Skype with Melanie. Telling her about the game, although she'd watch it.
Oh, yes. They had come a long way. From divorce papers and two positive test, to happily married with one child and another on the way.
Running away from love had caused so much damage. But it was worth it for the chance to run with love.
