The Bodyguard

Epilogue

"I already told you that I don't want to know" I chuckled seeing Hudson holding up a pink stuffed unicorn.

"My kids said that's bullshit" he rolled his eyes and threw the animal as if it was a basketball back to the others.

Hudson and I got married two years ago and he soon started a job as a sports and chemistry teacher at a private school in NewYork. He had a friend who helped him get the job and the NSJP kept their promise about letting him go as soon as he starts a family.

The last job he did for them was a year ago in June when Rocky and Blue called him for some help in Kyoto. But after we got married he was never contacted again.

Hudson had bought us a beautiful apartment in Manhattan and I even got to meet his brother Ashton. It took him some time to call his brother but when they saw each other it was as if Hudson never left. They immediately connected with each other.

Ashton was the kindest person ever. I already saw him as a part of my family. He and his husband Olivier moved into the apartment next to us. Olivier had his own children clinic in which he will let me work as soon as I graduate from college.

"I hope you told them to not use such words. They're only 12" I smiled as I put a few chocolate bars in the cart.

"No, they're right" he shook his head at the amount of junk food I had put in the cart.

I shook my head and gave him a peck on the cheek while secretly throwing two other bags of gummy bears into the cart.

"I saw that" he commented as we headed to the cash register.

"No!" A familiar voice shouted making me flinch as I turned around. "You're up the duff!"

Blue. He had basically shaved all of his hair off and he wore a red velvet shirt with wide black pants. Under his shirts a few scars on his tanned chest caught my attention. He had changed so much but then also not at all. I couldn't explain it.

"Dora, you're pregnant" he stated again gazing at my stomach as if he had never seen a pregnant woman before.

I let go of Hudson's hand and hugged Blue without saying a word. Seeing him was so overwhelming and brought up so many memories.

"Why, oh! You also got married" he took my hand after he let go of me and looked at the ring with sadness in his eyes.

"Yeah" I said smiling nervously.

Hudson and Blue gave each other a bro hug and Blue turned to me again. "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"She doesn't want to know" Hudson rolled his eyes annoyed as he rested his elbows on the cart.

"I want it to be a surprise" I explained and Blues expression light up.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest "Do you have a name yet?"

"Not really" I shook my head.

"What about Blue? It works for boys and girls. Just perfect" I smiled as thinking of that.

He's right, Blue works for both genders and it would be meaningful but Hudson and I had so many more ideas. Kaden, Helena, Tobias and Atlas were on the top of the list. All of them were important people we had lost -people we loved.

"No!" Hudson contradicted vigorously.

"Why not? Why wouldn't you want to name your son or daughter after your favorite english Asian. I am strong, sexy, sweet, smart, creative, motivated, imaginative, intoxicating, addicting and so much more. Wouldn't you want that for your child?"

Hudson rolled his eyes at him"I am not naming my baby after you."

Blue raised his eyebrow and quickly turned around. For a second I believed Hudson had displeased him and that he ran away from us now. But Blue just hurried to one of the telephones that are connected to the public address system in the shopping center.

He smiled evilly and put the phone on his ear "Attention all shoppers, attention all shoppers! My friend Dora the explorer is pregnant and they don't know the name yet. I suggested they name it after me, their best friend and savior in rough times. Now if you would all please come and vote for them to name their baby after me -that would just be lovely. Thank you very much everyone."

It was ridiculous and I could have bet nobody would come to him but suddenly a ton of people walked up to him. He took one of the vases that stood near by and handed every person a piece of paper and a pen.

"You're crazy" I called out but Blue just winked at us and showed us his two thumbs up.

Hudson put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him "And you're happy."

"I am."
