-Anya POV-

"What? Why would you do such a thing Mama?"

Anya was flabbergasted by Mama's confession. She couldn't believe that she had done such a thing.

Mama continued sobbing quietly.

-Ten Minutes Before-

"I'm so so so so sorry," Mama sobbed, barely audible, her face on Papa's shoulder as he patted her back.

"I'm the one who was sending all of those strange messages."

Damian and Anya both fell back in shock. What? Why would Mama want to threaten them that way?

"What? Why would you do such a thing Mama?"

Anya was flabbergasted by Mama's confession. She couldn't believe that she had done such a thing.

Mama continued sobbing quietly,

"I've just been so bored out of my mind since I got pregnant. Loid doesn't let me do anything these days so that the baby and I stay safe and healthy, but I feel so useless. I thought that I could help to push the two of you together since everyone has been waiting for you two to get together for so long. I just wanted something to do so I could feel like I was useful again."

Mama continued to sob and a few tears slid down Papa's face as well,

"I'm so sorry that I made you feel this way, Yor. I never wanted to make you feel like you were useless. I just wanted to make your life easier. I always read about wives complaining that their husbands never did anything for them around the house."

Mama and Papa held each other tightly as Damian and Anya stared in shock.

"I love how you do all of these things for me, Loid, but maybe we could try to do them together, like cooking!"

They all turned to look at Mama in horror as Papa was nodding excitedly, eager to spend time with his wife and do anything that would make her happy.

"Of course, Yor."

Damian and Anya began to creep away, trying to avoid watching the horrific scene of marital bliss between Papa and Mama.

When they finally got outside, Damian turned to Anya and she could already feel her face heating up,

"Anya, I promise that I'll make you happy the way that your father makes your mother. I've never seen two people as in love as them, and I want us to be just like them. I promise to work hard to make you the happiest person."

Anya could feel the heat in her face rising, blushing was a mild term for it,

"Damian, you already make me the happiest person alive. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I feel that any life without you will be incomplete and wrong. You make everything so beautiful and I never want to make you upset again. I swear I'll never leave again."

Damian's eyes were watering,

"I love you so much, Anya Forger."

Anya leaned in, embracing him,

"I love you too, Damian Desmond."

They leaned in together, and their lips touched, this time it was gentle, and loving, not hurried or rushed. They had all of the time in the world.

They stayed like that for what felt like the longest time, and Anya knew that this was meant to be.

She quickly read his mind, seeing his silly thoughts about how wonderful she was. She smiled in his chest so he wouldn't see.

Sy-on boy is honest about his feelings.

THE TITLE DROP

dww guys there are still a few more chapters to go, it's just we're starting to wrap it up.

to be honest I never expected to get this much attention for this and it literally makes me want to cry to know how many people have read this. (anyway, let me save the rest of this for the author's note at the end)

also guys i know this will be ending soon, but my other work, Ruin Our Secrets is just starting. I know I haven't really published much for it yet, but once I complete this I will be focusing my attention on that. (and then maybe my own work?)

also i'm really sorry the chapters have been so short lately

Thank you for reading 3
