So I felt bad for leaving you guys with that ending so I decided to do an epilogue and I think that you will approve. Enjoy!


Epilouge

A little over a year later...

The small cries of the 5 month old wakes me from my nap. I creek my eyes open and hear another cry. I walk over to the crib and see green eyes looking up at me. The wails quickly return and I grab a teething ring and pick up my beautiful baby, Taylor, named after her father. I bring her over to my bed and lay back down.

I rock her back and forth as I softly talk to Taylor, "Tay, little tay. I love you. We are making it through this. Just me and you… and my family, but that is besides the point. You are my daughter and I will do everything for you my little princess. Hopefully everything will be better with Daddy eventually and you can be the queen I know you can be. Once he knows about you. The King of that beautiful country will come and hopefully take both of our hearts away."

Ty's father had died about 3 months ago. I wasn't able to go to the funeral because I was scared and had an 8 week old. He had taken the throne to let his mom mourn her husband's death in peace. With my mom being best friends with my aunt, my family had gone to the funeral.

A little less than a year ago was Val and Matt's wedding. At the time I was barely pregnant and could make it through pretty easily. Ty had come to the wedding but had stayed away from me. Val recently found out she is pregnant and so the entire country is excited about the baby.

Since Taylor was born, I have just been taking care of her with the help of my maids. I take care of her and think about her father but try to keep him out of my mind so I can focus on Tay.

I rock Tay until I hear a knock on my door. I quickly put Tay in her crib that stays in my room and make my way to the door. On the way I grab a robe and tie it around myself. I open the door and see the last person I would have expected to see.

Ty.

My mouth falls open and I freeze. Unable to move. My eyes scan over him and noticed how disheveled he is. Over the past few months I have realized that I love him but haven't had the courage to do something about it.

"Hi." is all he says. The word is spoken shyly.

"Hi… what has been going on lately?"

All of a sudden he blurts out,"Charlie I love you." He takes steps towards me and I let him hold my hands. "My mother says that it is time that I get married or engaged. She already has some girls coming to the palace to meet me. I want nothing more than to marry you. I am so sorry for everything. This past year has killed me not being able to see you and be with you. I just wanted to-" I do the thing I have been wanting to do for awhile now. My toes rise and my lips crash to his. His arms wrap around my waist and hold me to him. For the first time in over a year, I relax. I feel at home.

We pull apart and I look at him, a smile is on both of our faces. I notice that we are standing in the doorway of my room still but thankfully nobody has come around. I grab his arm and pull him into my room before anybody and come around and see us. After it is too late, Tay lets out a small wimped and Ty looks at me with a weird face.

"Charlie?" His voice is hesitant. My arms tighten around myself and bring my robe closer and closer to my body. He takes the steps closer and looks at Tay. He looks her over from her green eyes to her pink socks. Then his eyes look up to bore into mine.

"Is she… is she mine?" I sink into myself and nod looking only down. Ty gives out a little huff and sits down on the couch. His elbows rest on his knees. I watch as his hands run stressfully through his hair and hang around his neck.

Ty gets up and walks over to me, slowly approaching.

"Charlie, how could you keep this from me?"

"I...I was broken when I first found out. Eventually I just became scared to tell you. I didn't know how you would react." I look at his face for any clue to how he is feeling. He lets his arms out to go around me. The strong arms that I love hold me. I feel my tears start to run.

"Shhhhh. Charlie it's okay. Not perfect but I understand. I have her now. Can I hold her?"I nod and walk over to the crib. I reach down to grab Tay. I walk to Ty and hand her to him. Tay lets out a giggle in his arms. The beaming look on Ty's face makes me so happy. He holds her like the most precious thing in the world is in his arms.

"Come on let's sit down." I gently grab his arm and guide him to my bed as his eyes can't leave his daughter's face. After he sits down, Tay's tiny little hand grabs one of Ty's fingers.

"Charlie, I meant it, I love you. I never stopped loving you. Could you please forgive me? I don't need you to love me, I just need to have you forgive me. I don't think I could live without being forgiven by you." I look down. I think about the time I have spent thinking about my love for this man. How I only want to be with him again and have his arms around me when I fall asleep and wake up.

"Ty, I do love you. I want to be with you. I was too scared like I said earlier."

"Do you think you would ever take this?" I look down and saw that Ty had been holding Tay with one hand and had slid a small velvet box across the bed slightly. I already knew what it was and what I wanted. My hands reached out and opened the box, I grabbed the ring that my finger had missed the feeling of. I slid the ring onto the finger it belongs on.

"You'll marry me?" His words are disbelieved. I nod. He moves and gives me a kiss. "I love you so much and …. ummm this is awkward. What is my daughter's name?"

"Her name is Taylor Aimee Emanuele. Named after her amazing daddy."

"I love you mi amore"

"I love you bello" I smiled into a kiss that lasted too long with our daughter in between us. Our daughter. Our.
