I Won't Give Up

Epilogue

A/N I'm doing this on my phone so some stuff won't be capitalized but I'll fix it on my computer later.

*2 years later*

"Where are my two favorite girls?" Harry calls from the front door. Skylar and I sat in the living room watching The Little Mermaid. Her brown hair in a braid.

"In here daddy!" Skylar says.

His laugh still sends a smile to my face, after all this time. Skylar runs into his arms and he slings her over his shoulder. He leans over the back of the couch placing a kiss to the top of my head. "Ewwwwwwww!" Skylar says Harry pulls her closer to his face and plants light kisses all over her small face. "Daddy stop you have coodies!!" she says.

He stares at her for a minute and acts like he's actually sad. His bottom lip sticking out. I laugh as she wraps her arms around his neck, "Don't cry daddy! I love you."

He laughs and kisses the side of her head, "I love you too sweetheart."

She giggles, "Not as much as mommie does!"

He lets her down and she crawls over the couch, landing in my lap. Leaning against my stomach, but he picks her back up, "Well little lady I think that isn't true."

She just laughs and climbs down from him, then runs down the hall to her room. He laughs and walks to the front of the couch, lifting my legs up so he can sit down."That girl is something else," he rests my legs on his lap, rubbing my leg. My knee has been acting weird lately, but the doctor says it's the physical therapy, and all of that crap.

"How was your day?" I ask him turning off the TV.

"It's better now," he says.

I smile, and he does the same. "I love you," I say.

"I love you more," he says.

That night after Skylar went to bed I sat in my and Harry's room where he was in the

bed. I got up to wash the dishes but he grabbed my waist, "Where do you think your going?"

I lightly laugh,"dishes."

He sits up behind me on his knees and rubs his hands up and down my arms," they can wait."

I feel him kiss the top of my head, "please, just lay with me, only for a minute."

I lean my head back so I can look up at him," only for a minute."

He smiles down at me and pulls me backwards. I turn so I'm facing him and he just stares at me, "you're cute when you're tired."

I smile at him, and he kisses my nose, "dishes," I say again.

"Jess please," he begs quietly, "stay with me."

I argue with myself before nodding. He smiles at me again.

"Have you talked to your brother?" He asks.

I shake my head, "Not since the other day."

We saw Matt at the grocery store I think it was last Monday, he still couldn't look at me. He said hello and asked me how I was doing then left. Didn't even look in Harry's direction. Skylar asked,"Mommy who was that?" I didn't answer because I didn't know what to say. She asked Harry, "It's one of mommas old friends," he answers.

She just shrugged it off , oh the joy of almost being a two year old.

"You should call him," he says.

"Why exactly should I do that?" I ask. Matt and I made up a few days after I slapped him. We were perfectly fine until he showed his ass at Skylar's first birthday party. He was yelling about how me and Harry weren't old enough or ready for a kid and how Harry doesn't even care about me. We made up after that until about a month ago he called Harry and was completely wasted and was yelling at him.

"Because he's your brother," he answers.

Before I can say anything here comes Skylar, "Daddy help!!"

"What's the matter darling?" He asks.

"There's a spider in my room and it's it's," she opens her arms as far as they will go, "Its this big."

Harry laughs and throws the covers off of him, and follows her down the hall.

I'm left alone now and I think of how great everything has been, with us. Our own little family. Our own perfect little family. I twisted the the pendant on my wrist and saw the inscription that I've read a million times..
