Page 100 of Always Yours

There was a lot of drama and hard times along the way, but we managed to find our way through together. We all came out stronger and closer than ever.

Derek wraps his arms around me, and I lean back into him.

“This is perfect,” he whispers in my ear.

“This is everything,” I say softly.

Three years later…

Epilogue

Damien

I watch as my children lay with my wife, Ella. We had been together for ten years now. We have DJ who is now nine years old, Luke who is six, and my little girl, Evie, who is almost four years old.

Ella accidentally getting pregnant with my sperm is one of the best things that ever happened to me.

When I got that call ten years ago, it changed my entire life. I didn’t realise just how much it did. I was instantly attracted to her, but I didn’t know what would become of us, or if we would have a relationship at all.

I’m so fucking grateful that it worked out like it has.

I have my beautiful wife and children in my life.

We had been through a lot of hard times; times where I thought someone had finally taken Ella from me for good. I don’t know what I would do if I ever lost my woman.

Ella looks over at me and gives me a tired smile. We had taken the kids to the fair today and that was a long fucking day. They were all exhausted now, but we had decided to make the night a movie night and pulled a mattress and all the blankets and pillows into the living room so we can have snacks and watch movies. It’s one of my favorite things to do with my family.

“What are you thinking about, honey?” Ella asks me after all the kids had fallen asleep.

I pull her into my arms and kiss her softly.

“I’m fucking grateful for the day you had accidentally became mine,” I whisper.

She hums her agreement and gives me a soft kiss.

Ella

I wake up the next morning and look around to see that the kids were still sleeping. Damien was also asleep and had his mouth hanging open. I chuckled as I got up to make some coffee and start breakfast.

The living room and kitchen were a mess. We had made a bunch of snacks and appetizers for our movie night and fell asleep before cleaning them up.

I decide that I will tackle that when I finish making breakfast.

I walk over to the hallway and look at the picture that I have of Jeff and me from years ago.

It felt like a lifetime ago that I was deeply in love with this man.

When Jeff was taken from me just after we had found out I was pregnant, I didn’t know how I was going to go on with my life.

The one thing that kept me going was my DJ.

Finding out about Damien, and meeting the club, was scary; but it brought me something I had always been missing. My family.

I never really wondered about my father since my mother made sure that I didn’t look for him.

I found him at the most unexpected time, and he welcomed me with open arms.

There will always be that anger inside of me that my mother had robbed me of so many years with him and everyone else.
