Epilogue

Life had turned out beautifully for both Mok and Angel. After returning from their one month honeymoon, Angel entered the B.C. Police Training Academy and began the long education process in detective forensics.

The hours went from the morning and into the night, but Angel would always find some time for her husband.

However, ever since she began her classes, Angel experienced morning sickness and would feel exhausted from time to time.

At first, she and Mok blamed it on the stress of the training, but Angel knew that theory was not right.

She decided to take a pregnancy test and it turned out positive. At first, she didn't know how to say it in front of everyone, including Mok.

She told Cindy first and asked how she can explain it to Mok. "Say it outright, but I would surprise him. Say something like a little rascal kicked you in the stomach," Cindy said. At that moment, Angel could feel the life within her moving. It was small, but it felt very much alive.

She found Mok tending to his new garden, there were only some sprouts in the soil, but Angel knew he was going to treasure them.

"What will these become?" she asked.

"I believe they will be roses, but it will take a life time for them to grow," he replied and an idea popped into Angel's head.

"How long do you think this sprout will take to grow?" she asked, pointing to her stomach.

Mok was confused; what was his wife talking about? There was a sprout in her stomach? Then, it hit him and his jaw opened wide.

"Angel, are you saying…?" he asked, but he could not get the words out.

Angel nodded and Mok threw his arms around her and they laughed and cried together.

Months had passed, Angel's training became intense and her belly grew big, however, those did not slow her down.

Finally, Angel gave birth to a girl in the middle of spring. The baby was beautiful with strains of brown-black hair and she had her mother's blue eyes.

"What do you want to name her?" Mok asked.

"I was thinking Emmy, in honor of your first love who saved us," Angel replied and Mok nods.

"Yes, Emmaline, Emmy," he said and kissed his daughter's forehead.

More months had passed and now came the day of Angel's graduation from the academy. She was given full honors and the police captain of the Mystic Rock Harbor PD hired her on the spot.

After the ceremony, Angel and Mok walked out on the beach, watching the sunset. "What are you thinking?" Angel asked.

"I'm thinking of how lucky I am to have you and Emmy. I realized that I have everything that I wanted, despite going through so many trials," Mok replied, "But now, we can lock those horrible memories away forever and see what is happening now."

Angel had to agree; they had gone through many tests and experienced some failures and missteps in their paths, but in the end, it led them to where they are now. However, their trials in life were not yet over, this was only the beginning.

FIN

From the author: This is my very first fanfic and I'm kinda happy of how it turned out. However, there is a message behind it. According to Domestic Abuse Shelter website, 4,000 women die each year due to domestic violence and of the total domestic violence homicides, 75% of the victims were killed as they attempted to leave the relationship or after the relationship had ended.

Also, according to Wikipedia, about 50,000 women and children are brought against their will to the United States for sexual exploitation, in other words, sex slavery.

I don't know the exact number of them being sold for drugs, but it happens.

If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, contact the local domestic abuse hotline. Remember, you're not alone, someone will be your voice.
