Epilogue – Happily Ever After

Six Months Later ...

"Are you ready?" My dad asked for the billionth time today.

"Ready as I'll ever be." I gave him a small smile to reassure him that this is the best decision I've ever made. I returned my gaze to the woman in front of the mirror, and I looked back to the woman I was before. I smiled with satisfaction at my transformation, therapy went well, I earned back Seth's trust, I forgot about Greg.

"Say the word and we walk out of here. I don't want you to regret the moment the ceremony's over." He gave my shoulder a light squeeze and I returned a nod.

"Daddy, he is the best thing that's ever happened to me. With that said, this is the best decision I've ever made. He makes me happy and I love him." I gave him another reassuring smile and he let out a sigh.

"Okay kid." He cleared his throat and pulled me in for a hug when my sister barged in.

"You are wrinkling your dress! Do you know how hard it is to fix this damn dress!" She pried me away from our dad and daddy just laughed at her before exiting the room.

"I'm sorry Sarah." I gave her one big smile and her face softened.

"I told you. You were perfect for each other." She 'unwrinkled' my dress and put on a satisfied smile. "It's time. You sure about this?" She asked and I gave her a nod before she picked up two bouquets. "You look beautiful." Sarah chirped before exiting the room. This is it.

I took one last glance in the mirror before plastering a smile on my face. I can't believe I'm walking down that aisle. The dress fit perfectly, the soft fabric clung to my body like a second skin. The beads made my curves much more noticeable and a little skin wouldn't be too bad, as my sister tells me. I placed the veil over my head and took hold of the bouquet.

I smiled at the sight of my engagement ring. Seth didn't waste time that day six months ago. He proposed after he made love to me and I couldn't have pictured it any other way.

"Ysabel." Daddy peeked inside the room and I know I'm about to walk towards my future. I got out of the room and onto the front of the church. I held onto my father as the doors opened revealing hundreds of people but only one person caught my eye, Seth. I smiled widely as we began to walk.

"Ysabel?" Seth murmured in my ear, my eyes still remained closed as I responded with a 'hmm'.

"Can I ask you something?" He spoke once again." Nervousness filled his tone and that got me perked up, he's never nervous unless he's about to tell me something really important.

I sat up and he rested his head on my lap. "What's wrong?" I asked as I ran my hand through his hair.

"Nothing's wrong. I just can't imagine my life without you." He says with sincerity. I looked at him with a confused expression, where's he getting at?

"Seth, what's wrong?" I furrowed my eyebrows and he sat up. He opened a drawer beside the bed before facing me once again.

"Ysabel Crest." He began and my breathing hitched. "You were my friend, my rock, my enemy, the person I could depend on, the person who accepted all my antics, the person who didn't sugar-coat. You are my everything, my life, my happiness. You will be the person who can make the happiest man on earth, the person who will bear my children and the person whom I will depend on for the rest of my life. Mahal na mahal kita." His speech formed an invisible lump in my throat. I don't know what to say.

He held my hand and I knew what was coming next. "I love you so much it hurts. I miss you when we're not together, I miss you when you're not in my arms. I love the way you embarrass yourself in front of me. I love it when you're barely dressed when you open the door. I love all your flaws. I love all your imperfections. I love everything about you." Tears began to form in my eyes.

"I know I'm rambling and I appreciate you listening to me." He held my hand tighter and took out a red velvet box. I gasped and tears began to fall. "Will you please put me out of my misery and marry me?" I chuckled and pretended to think. I narrowed my eyes at him and he let out a nervous laugh. As if I would decline.

"What are nervous about? I would be honoured to put you out of your misery and marry you Mr. Morgan." I smiled at him and he opened the box and placed the ring on my hand.

"I understand you've both written your vows?" The pastor asked and we both nodded. "Mr. Morgan please take the ring and hold your partner's left hand." He did as he was told. "Please state your vows."

"Ms. Ysabel Crest." He started and let out a big sigh. "You will be the death of me." He let out a light laugh and the crowd laughed with him. "We may not have a perfect relationship but I promise you we will work on it together. We may not have a family but we will soon, I promise you." The crowd laughed once again.

"I cannot promise you the earth, I cannot promise you a perfect life but I can promise you these: happiness, understanding, care and love." He put the ring on me and I tried hard not to cry. Tears were threatening to fall but I held them back.

I was so lost in his eyes and I didn't even hear the pastor tell me it's my turn to state my vows. Worry plastered onto Seth's face and I know he's worried that I would run away but I gave him a smile before taking his hand and stating my vows.

"Seth Morgan." I took a deep breath before continuing. "From the day you forced me to ride with you to the day you took me out of the country to the day you proposed, I knew you were the most irritating person in my world." The crowd laughed with me and a big smile replaced Seth's frown.

"I may not be the person that fit your lifestyle but I'm happy you made me part of your life. I cannot promise you perfection but I know our lives will be perfect as long as we have each other. I cannot promise you eternal happiness but I will stay with you through the rough patches. I cannot promise you a big family but for me, you are my family." I placed the ring on his finger and the next moments were a blur. I felt him carry me and kiss me, the crowd cheered and next thing I know, we're back in the limo with Jason in the driver seat.

Seth kissed the back of my hand and I looked up and saw the one thing I've yearned for, love. "You are so beautiful Mrs. Morgan."

"You don't look so bad yourself Mr. Morgan." I leaned into him and rested my head on the crook of his neck.

"I cannot wait to rip that dress off you." He whispered and my cheeks turned to crimson.

"You are not ripping this dress. Do you know how hard it is to get into this thing without ripping it?" He chuckled at my frustration and kissed the tip of my nose.

"No worries, we can always ask the Mrs. L to sew it back if there are pieces to sew back of course." He winked at me and my cheeks turned to another shade of red.

"Naughty Mr. Morgan. I guess I won't let you see the lingerie I have on if you keep saying things like that." His eyes turned to a darker shade and I had to chuckle. I took his hand and let him trail his hand to my cheek to my neck, down to where my dress dipped and stopped him. I gave him a kiss on the cheek before laughing.

"You don't play fair Mrs. Morgan." His hand made its way to my thigh and my breathing hitched. I tried to remove his hand but he gripped my thighs. "Nuh-uh. I don't play fair either Ysabel." He drew circles on my thighs occasionally going up and down and dammit! My senses are in hyperdrive and if I don't get what I want, I will lose it.

"Tell me what you want Ysabel." He whispered in my ear and all I could do was whimper. He let out a chuckle and trailed kisses on my neck. "What do you want?" He asked and I let out another whimper. Dammit! He's good. It took all my willpower to get out of his grasp and get a breath of fresh air.

"Unfair." I pouted and he bit my lower lip.

"Stop pouting, we're here." He gave me one last peck before exiting the car. As soon as I got out of the car nausea hit me.

"What is that smell?" I covered my nose and held onto Seth, paparazzi filled my view and I began to feel dizzy. "Seth? I don't feel so good." His eyes furrowed and carried me to a hotel room, I feel bad for not going directly to the ball room where all our guests are.

"What's wrong? Do you need a doctor?" My mouth opened and all my senses are telling me one thing, bathroom. I ran as best I could considering my dress and knelt in front of the toilet and puked, I let out what little there is in my stomach.

I heard the door open and a bunch of people talking. Seth stood by the bathroom door and a doctor knelt beside me. "Do you feel like peeing?" She asked and I nodded my head. "Pee in this." She gave me a pregnancy kit and my eyes doubled its size.

"I can't be pregnant." Seth left the room and the last thing I saw was disappointment. Didn't he tell me he wanted a family.

"Take the test." The woman told me and I nodded my head. "So?" The woman asked as soon as I opened the bathroom door.

"Positive." The woman smiled at me.

"I will give you a prescription for folic acid, take them once a day. You need to schedule an appointment with you doctor, the check-ups are monthly and I suggest you go as soon as you can, we need to hear your baby's heartbeat." She gave me one last smile before exiting the room.

I slumped on the bed and stared at the piece of paper with the words folic acid on it. I closed my eyes and I heard the door swing open. "Are you pregnant?" Seth sat beside me.

"Yes." I looked at his face and a small smile replaced his gloomy expression.

"I thought you were sick, it turns out you're pregnant." He gave my hand a tug and I leaned into him. "I am going to spoil that child." He says with a chuckle and my eyes almost dropped.

"You mean you want the child?" I asked in disbelief and he nodded his head.

"I wouldn't marry you if I didn't want any kids, I didn't think it would be this soon but I do want the child, I am against abortion anyway and you need someone who knows how to change diapers." I slapped his arm.

"I know how to change a diaper, I just forgot how." I say with a bit of embarrassment and Seth kissed the top of my head.

His hands touched my tummy and I almost jumped. "I love you so much Ysabel."

"And I love you Mr. Morgan." I say with a contented smile on my face.
