Dear Faithful Readers,

First and foremost, I thank you for all your wonderful reviews and for taking your time and dedication to read my story and follow it up. Unfortunately, I had to end this story and wrap everything up. I hope that this was all up to your tastes, and maybe I was able to raise certain points in awareness.

However, although this journey ends, I can assure you that I will write other stories. My next project is also a fifty shades fanfiction, with a difference. Some authors came forward and asked to write this new story. Hopefully, I'll be putting up the first chapter in few hours time :).

Lastly, I would like to thank you again for being and bearing with me throughout this whole story. :)

Thanks again,

Enjoy the last chapter :)

and PLEASE REVIEW! :D :D :D :D

Sera's POV

'I still don't get it dad. If they wanted the business they should have just came and discussed the business! Not trampling all over… They still lost everything.'

'Peanut, things don't work that way. When there is money involved, people will try to do anything… even kill at times…'

'That's just stupid…' I replied back as I removed my shoes and made myself comfortable on the couch still re-reading the file. '…so, does this mean that you can continue on with the original plan?' I asked again as I took a look at the stocks. 'You're under by…' I started doing the calculations. '15.26% dad. That will give you quite a loss…'

'Us Sera… Us… GEH is yours once I retire…'

'That's long ahead of us dad…' I smiled fondly as he came beside me and took the file.

'We'll delve from the original plan… Have you talked to Carter about this?'

'I have… he's still discussing it with his brother. If we merge again, we can get the stocks back up.' I smiled.

'Give her a break Christian…' Mum joined us with her usual tea and a reading book.

'Can you control your daughter?'

'Hey… she's your daughter in these circumstances! You're the one with the control issues.

'Hi…' I waved at them. 'I'm here… you know that right?'

'Yes love… we do… but your father decided that you're my daughter in only certain things, and you're his in others…'

'You know what you can do to alleviate things mum…' I winked at her while she chuckled and dad remained staring at us.

'Are you going to keep making jokes on my expense?'

'You afford them Christian…' Mum replied.

'…and we love you nonetheless.' I smiled.

'That's my girl…' Dad kissed me on my forehead, as we heard the front door close, and a screaming kid running to us.

'MUMMY! MUMMYY! MUMMY! DADDY LIED!' Jason came running to us, whilst Carter came behind him rubbing his head.

'Lied?'

'You'll have to hear this…' He replied as he sank on the couch beside us while I pulled Jason onto my lap.

'What is it big guy?' I asked lightly, as I noticed chocolate smudged on his face. '…and what's that on your lips?'

'Daddy bought me 2 chocolate…' He jumped up and down as I glared at him.

'I had to get him to be quiet while he was at my parents… and they would like to see you sometime…'

'I'll drop by tomorrow…'

'Don't forget you have to come to Claire tomorrow. We have to get that dress we ordered in check for our trip…' Mum reminded me as Jason jumped up and down on me.

'Take it easy on your mother!' Dad took him from my arms.

'NOOO NOOO! I WANT MUMMY!' He wriggled from dad's arms.

'You don't want me today?' Dad asked a little hurt.

'First mummy! First mummy!' He said again as he held onto my neck.

'Don't you love grandpa?'

'I love him! But I love you more…' He replied back as he held tighter to me. 'Mummy, you have to give dad a punishment because he lied.'

'What did he lie about?'

'He asked me from where babies come…' Carter replied as he ran his hands through his hair while all of us suppressed a chuckle.

'Daddy said that first they come by ship and then the storks take them in cloths, and then they have an address and then they bring them home.'

'…and it's true…' Carter replied.

'Noo! Noooo!'

'Take it easy! Calm down!' I tried as I looked into his eyes and realised that there were some tears. 'Hey… why are you crying Jay?' I comforted him the best I could.

'…because when I told you I hate you because you didn't let me watch television, grandpops told me that I should never say that again, because you were going to Jesus when you were having me… and… and… you told them, that you will love me no matter what happens…' He cried as I held him tight to me. Geez, he takes everything to heart. I hugged him tight as I rubbed his back gently. 'I'm sorry mummy. I love you! I love you very much… I never meant it…'

'I know baby boy… I know…' I replied. '…but you have to calm down… else you're going to catch a cold...'

'Mummy… do you still love me very much?'

'Of course I do Jay! You're always going to remain my handsome boy…'

'More than daddy?'

'Well I love daddy in a different kind of love…' I replied.

'No! Sera! You just…' Carter replied.

'So… you and daddy do something to have a baby?' He asked again filled with hope, while mum and dad ended up laughing. 'I know that babies are in your belly… Ms. Katrina, has a big belly and she said that she is having a baby girl.'

'I'm not answering again. He's going to hate me!' Carter replied as I winked at him.

'Well…' I started smiling. 'When we wanted to have you, we went to church, and we really prayed a lot! Your father even gave up his chocolate to have you… and then, Jesus gave us you, we found you on the porch, but you were too small. In your crib we found a key, and we went to the hospital, so that they can put you in my tummy, so that you can be all warm and cosy. Then you started growing up, and the doctors asked us to keep the key safe. I wanted to hold you so much Jason, but we had to wait for the whole 9 months.' I continued as his eyes twinkled.

'So I was in your tummy for 9 months?' He asked clearly swallowing everything of what I was feeding him, while Carter remained staring at me in disbelief. 'That's… a lot of days!'

'Yes… and then when the 9 months were up, we went back to the hospital with the key, and they opened my tummy, and you were all grown big and strong…' I tickled him. '…and we could finally hold you.'

'…but why were you going with Jesus?' He asked as he let his gaze drop down again.

'…because sometimes, there are some problems…' I smiled.'…but I wanted you no matter what.'

'Can I have a sister or a brother for this Christmas?' He asked hopeful.

'I…' I started as I looked at Carter and he was all frowning already. 'Do you want a brother or a sister?' I asked him again smiling.

'Well… I do… but I still want to be your favourite…'

'You will always be my favourite…' I smiled as he yawned.

'Now what do you say, you'll let your mother rest, and we go for a nap?' Mum asked taking him into her arms.

'I want grandpops too!'

'Now you want me Jay?' Dad played pouty as Jason held his arms out for dad to take him.

'I love you grandpops…' Jason replied as he kissed his cheek.

'Damn…'

'Christian!' Mum scolded. 'Stop with the S.W.E.A.R Words in front of the kid.'

'Sorry…' Dad replied still looking at Jason. Jason did bring out the best in dad. I never seen him apologizing this fast. 'Now how can I stay mad at you, huh?'

'I can make you…' Jason smiled cheekily, whilst dad glared at him. '…or maybe not…'

'That's what I thought… Now what do you say if grandma and I come with you and take a nap?'

'Yes… can I watch the Lion King before?'

'If you and grandpa behave yes…' Mum replied.

'Grandpa behave!' He said with the most seriousness that he can get.

'Scouts honour…' Dad said again, as they climbed the stairs. 'Come on big guy…'

'Kids…' Mum smiled.

Carter's POV

'How did you manage to make him believe that in an instant?'

'I just know how he thinks.' She smiled.

'You planned this didn't you?' I asked her again chuckling.

'I knew someday this question may pop. I was a little prepared.'

'For what else are you prepared?'

'Do you really want to know?' She smiled.

'Not really... but yeah... I think I have an idea...' I replied.

'We'll wait for those days...' She answered back smiling weakly.

'I know that look…' I started again as I sat beside her and pulled her to the crook of my neck. '…and we've already discussed this…'

'Just think about it Carter… please…' She asked.

'Last time you got pregnant you almost died… scratch that… you died, and with some luck you came back… I'm not risking that again. Not now not ever…'

'Carter… I really want to feel another life growing inside of me…'

'…and we both know it's not possible...'

'…but do you want kids?'

'Ours? Yes…'

'… but kids in general… do you want kids?' She asked again.

'Where are you going with this Sera?'

'Well… what about adoption? We can adopt…'

'You know how I feel about adoption…'

'Sometimes I don't even get you Carter! You want kids, but you don't want to get me pregnant… fine I get that… but you want kids and you don't want to adopt? How the hell do you pretend on even having kids? And don't tell me using a surrogate mother…'

'No… hell no Sera… but… look at my uncle and his wife. They adopted a girl and she was just a baby. Out of the blues she decided to go back to Peru! I don't want that to happen to us. We'd both be devastated…'

'We'll adopt someone from a foster home…'

'…and what if they decide that they want their parents? Or defy us because we're not their parent's by blood? Have you thought of that?'

'Carter… I feel that you're trying to find a needle in a haystack. My parent's adopted Jason...'

'No…' I cut her off. 'I'm finding the needles in the pack of needles Sera… I don't want to go through all that process of adopting, and then…'

'What guarantee do you have that that will happen?'

'Do you have a guarantee that it won't happen Sera?' I asked again, as she remained quiet. 'Exactly… I don't want to have my heart wrapped around another kid, only to end up with a broken heart. I can't bear to lose a child. Not now not ever, and I'm not planning to start this…'

'What if we try to have another baby? We wouldn't know unless we try…'

'No Sera… We won't try that…' I moved to face her and look straight into her eyes. 'Sera, I still have nightmares, and the only thing that gets me back to sanity and calm is when I see you sleeping beside me or on my chest. I'm not going to relive those days when you were dying. You cannot leave me…'

'Carter… I'll never leave you…'

'Not on your account… the child may take your life… I can't live without you… those few days… I can't and won't go through them… and besides we can't get pregnant…'

'Wait… what do you mean we can't?'

'I've undergone a vasectomy…'

'You did what?' She replied as she looked at me sternly.

'Don't be so judgemental Sera.' I threw back. 'I know you stopped the shot… I know you were trying to get pregnant…'

'You've undergone a vasectomy without even talking to me?'

'Sera, aren't you seeing the big picture here? You stopped the shot… if Greene didn't call… she thought I knew… she wanted to discuss things…'

'Carter… I was going to tell you…'

'When? Before or After you got pregnant?' I replied as she dropped her gaze. I pulled her to me and kissed her passionately. 'Baby, I love you and I want to grow old with you…' I continued as I held our foreheads together. 'I know you want to get pregnant again. Hell, if we could, we'll have a football team… but we can't… let's be grateful for the son we have and let's not push it. We were lucky ones… don't expect that we're going to be lucky again… and you know it…'

'I know…' she chocked. 'What are we going to tell Jason?'

'We'll get him a puppy or something… or a gold fish… that's easier to handle…' I replied. 'He's possessive of his mother, just like I am, and he wouldn't want to share you with another kid. He'll forget all about this in an instant.'

'My two favourite men…' She laughed as I nibbled in her neck, while she bit her lip.

'What do you say if one of your favourite men gives you something to think on right now?'

'Mhmmm… Depends on how…' She smiled as she raised one of her eyebrows.

'Just leave everything to me.' I replied as I stood up and removed my cufflinks. 'I want you to go to our room, and get on some lace…'

'Maybe I already have some on…' she teased back as she stood up and held me from my shoulders while she reached forward and kissed me sweetly on my lips, tugging on my bottom one.

'Mhmm… did you do that on purpose?'

'Maybe… maybe not…' She replied as I slid my hands, one letting her rest on her back and the other on her buttocks, while squeezing ever so tightly. 'Somebody's keen on not waiting…'

'I've waited for too long Sera… 20 hours are too much for me…'

'We did more…'

'…don't want to relive them…'

'Neither do I…' She smiled.

'Good, now go to our room… and wait for me there…' I replied as I kissed her passionately again. 'I love you Sera…'

'I love you too Carter…'

'God! I so love hearing you telling me that… It makes my heart swell.'

'Glad it does…' She replied. 'I don't want to be without you…'

'Good… because you're stuck with me forever… now that I have you, I won't ever let you go…'

'I know you won't… and so will I…'

'I love you Sera… Forever and Always.'
