Mr. Doctor - Epilog

EPILOG

Adam

I still remember the morning I proposed to my beautiful wife. She was asleep in my bed, wrapped up in my shirt, looking like an angel. Looking at her sleep peacefully, fearless in my arms, sparked a feeling I had never felt before. It was at that moment I realized that all my life I have lived in a blur, just existing... walking up to her that day was like waking up to a new life, a life I wanted to keep living.

I knew she deserved a much, much better and bigger proposal which she did get, just a week later when we made it official to everyone. but at that moment I just wanted her to be mine and say yes to a forever with me. For a moment there I felt fear like I never had. Fear of losing her. Fear that she wouldn't want me. Not after telling her that I was an almost murderer and that I would have killed a man to save my mother's life. But I wouldn't have saved her either way. She was gone long before I carried her to the hospital. It was the worst and the best day of my life. Because it was also the day I met the man I call father today.

I knew that proposing to Eve that morning just after I told her about my fu***d-up past was too much to ask of her. But my need for her was too strong. And if she said no it would have broken my heart but not discouraged me. I would have tried a million times and more not stopping until I made her mine. But I am glad that she did accept and though I know we rushed things. I was certain of what I needed and I don't do things in halves.

It's been a year now, a year of total bliss. And my beautiful wife has invited all our family and friends over to our place to welcome another year. Though it's great to have everyone you love around you on New Year's eve. I would much rather prefer to have my gorgeous wife who's wrapped up in that cream-wollen body con dress that accentuates every curve of her to myself.

"Noah the fireworks are about to go off" her angelic voice reaches me before she walks into the kitchen.

"What's that look on your face"

"What look, angel" I ask innocently

"You know that look... like you want to..."

"Like I want to" I know I am playing with her and she turns a bright shade of pink that I very much love.

I pull her to me and breathe her in.

"If only you knew all the things I want to do to you"

"I think I do Mr. Doctor, but you know we have our family and friends out there, right?"

I groan "unfortunately I do but once they all leave I get you all to myself Promise?"

"Promise now let's take the desert outside?"

"Sure my beautiful wife"

You might meet many people in your life who would take your breath away. But Eve... my angel is the one who reminds me to breathe. Every single time I look at her.

Eve

Beautiful colors light up the night sky. That brightens up the faces of every onlooker. Sure I have a smile on my face too but the reason for that is the strong wall of a muscle that standing behind me holding me protectively in his arms. I look up at him and I know he has been watching me the whole time.

"Your all the light I need angel he says." Placing a kiss on my forehead.

"I have a little New Year's present for you" I say

"You do?"

"Mmm Hmm" I take his hand and place his palm on my still flat stomach and his eyes light up, even brighter than the firework-filled night sky in front of us.
