Hey guys! Happy New Year to you all! Well, I'm sorry for the long wait on this, but I finally got the inspiration I needed to make an epilogue for this story! You can thank my parents who absolutely do not know how Skype works! It's hilarious at times! If you have parents that are overseas you probably know what I'm talking about. Anyway, enjoy!

Epilogue

"Why is my face so big in the picture? You can even count the wrinkles around my eyes on this." Ellen's face was painted on the screen of Jude's laptop which sat upon the desk in his room. Ellen only had the top half of her face visible. The enlarged portions gave off the illusion that she was nothing but eyes; a result of poor camera control.

Jude gave out a sigh, "Mom, You have to tilt your tablet down and keep it away from your face."

The young man's voice echoed through the speaker of Ellen's tablet. Almost instantly, her eyes squeezed as if her face was scrunching up. "Jude, calm down. You don't have to yell. I'm right here."

Jude took the echoing of his voice as a sign that his mother had put the volume too high on her device. "Mom, there should be a button to control the speaker on the side; push it down," he said with the calmest and clearest voice he could muster.

Enlarged black eyebrows furrowed in Ellen's growing frustration. "My eyes are still huge. Why didn't you just spent all this money on a camera instead of this useless trash?"

"Ugh. Mom, can you just give it to Dad. He probably knows how to use these things better than you do." Jude put a hand over his forehead and proceeded to force a calm composure on his face. He had bought his Mom a tablet so that hopefully they'd be able to look at each other's faces while talking to each other.

After a few minutes of back and forth between Jude and his Mom, Milla sauntered into Jude's room and circled her arms around her seated partner from behind and rested her head on Jude's shoulder. "Hey, what's all this noise?" When she noticed what is was he was doing her face blanched. Although she knew that Ellen approves of their relationship now, Milla still jumps a little whenever she sees the black haired woman witness their romantic antics.

"Hello, Milla. How have you been? Are you having fun laying upon my son?" The huge brown eyes squinted a bit as if she was challenging an opponent. Both Milla and Jude hung their jaws slack at this utterance while Ellen just giggled. "Calm down you two. Even a woman my age can joke around at times."

After a moment of silence, Ellen said, "So, Jude, did Milla say yes?" Jude's eyes grew to a size that could rival the pair on the screen, and he slammed the top of the laptop closed.

"What was I supposed to say yes to?" Milla turned her head toward her younger companion, but she was already guessing what was going on by the way his face was darkening with crimson.

Jude brought his hand to the bridge of his nose and squeezed the pressure point with his thumb and forefinger. "I wanted to surprise you, but Mom ruined it." Jude opened the drawer to his desk and slowly took out a black box, "I'm sorry this couldn't be more romantic. But will you marry me?"

Milla opened her mouth and left her jaw hanging so that she appeared to be gaping like a fish. Realizing how inane she must have looked, Milla brought her hands up to cover her mouth and continued the surprised expression in a more fitting manner.

Jude grew nervous at his girlfriend's expanding silence, so he shifted off of his chair and knelt down in front of Milla to emphasis exactly what he was asking her.

The blonde dropped her hands from her face and gave Jude a breath taking smile. "Yes, of course!" Without warning she then pinned him to the ground and planted kisses all over Jude's face and neck. When she reached Jude's lips she increased the heat and the passion of the kiss. Jude responded with great fervor towards his companion but not enough to dominate. After several minutes of kissing, Milla snatched the box from Jude and put the ring on her finger. She was sitting on the floor and admiring the beauty of the diamond covered ring while Jude remained laying down.

"Wow, it's beautiful," Milla said softly as she looked at the ring from different angles

"Yeah, I don't have a good eye for these types of things so Mom helped me out with it," Jude confessed.

Milla glanced up at the closed laptop on the desk forlornly and said, "Maybe you should call her back. She's probably troubled from the abrupt end of the call."

Jude pondered this for a brief moment while he stared at the ceiling. "Given the topic of conversation, she probably knows why I hung up." Jude sat up and smiled at Milla deviously. "Also, this can be a sort of punishment for her."

Milla smirked. "That's not something I thought I'd hear you say, mama's boy." Before Jude turned into a sputtering mess from her tease, Milla kissed his cheek softly to assure him that she was only kidding.

After Jude calmed down he checked his watch to check the time. "So, it's just about time to start dinner. I'll get started on it. Or would you like to eat out today?"

A dangerous glint flashed in Milla's eyes. "You don't have to do that when I got perfect sausage right here." Milla didn't spare a moment to shove her hand down Jude's pants. All the while, Jude's cheeks turned into the brightest shade of pink.

"Or dinner can wait…" Jude said quietly.

Milla got on top of Jude a second time that night and started to nibble on his ear. "What do you mean? This is dinner isn't it?"

Jude nodded his head and allowed Milla to have her way with him. Jude looked down to see Milla push up his shirt and bite down on one of his revealed nipples. This and the fact that she was going to be his future wife sent another jolt down Jude's 'sausage' and he let out a heavy moan that sounded more like a loud exasperated sigh.

Milla lifted her blonde head and raised an eyebrow. "I don't know what the hell that sound was, but it sure as hell wasn't sexy."

Jude threw his arms to cover most of his face. "S-shut up! It's just… different… knowing that we will be married soon."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I love you, Jude," Milla said sincerely.

The young man smiled broadly. "I love you too."

They shared another passionate kiss and were oblivious to their surroundings, even to Jude's phone that was ringing off multiple times which was no doubt his mother. To them the only things that mattered were each other and the beginning of their new life together.
