EPILOGUE—Four Months Later

Randy had successfully completed the outpatient rehab after 60 days. He was still doing very well and maintaining his sobriety while attending weekly NA meetings. Randy had returned to being on the road and was back wrestling his full-time schedule.

Randy had also been completely overcome with his Daddy role. He was great with Brandon and was doing a great job of keeping his temper in check even when Brandon was having a bad day. And on the flip side of that, he was also still living with Amanda and living as a family.

Amanda and Randy were still living in Amanda's apartment, but mainly because her lease wasn't up yet and she was a bit worried about moving Brandon so they were taking baby steps in their relationship. Her parents were still cautious about it, but were happy with the changes in Randy's life.

Randy walked into the apartment with a smile. He had a big surprise for Amanda. And he just had to hope that everything fell into place.

"I'm home!" Randy called. "Amanda? Where are you?"

"I'm doing dishes." She replied.

"DADDY'S HOME!" Brandon called as he ran to Randy and hugged him tight.

Randy scooped up Brandon and walked into the kitchen. And gave Amanda a kiss on the cheek. "How was school today buddy?"

"I was good today. No naughties." Brandon replied.

Amanda smiled, "Yes, he had a good day."

Randy hugged him again and set him down. Brandon quickly ran off to go finish playing on his iPad.

"How was work? Did you give your notice?" Randy asked. He had been trying to convince Amanda to quit her job so she could focus on Brandon and their family.

"Well…I did yesterday. I got really frustrated and my boss wasn't going to let me have the day off for Brandon's re-evaluation so I went back to my desk and typed up my resignation. I turned it in today."

Randy hugged her, "Babe that's great! I'm sorry they weren't going to let you have it off, but I'm glad that you will finally be the stay-at-home mom you've wanted to be."

"It's just weird, and I feel a bit vulnerable." She said sheepishly.

"There's nothing to feel vulnerable about. But, I was thinking maybe we could have mom and dad watch Brandon for a few hours tonight and we could go out to a romantic dinner just the two of us?"

Amanda smiled, "That sounds good to me."

"Good, because I already told them. Mom will be here to pick Brandon up shortly. We have reservations at 6." He said as he kissed her on the nose. "I'll pack Brandon while you get ready."

Amanda hustled off to the bedroom to start getting ready. She felt kind of giddy. This was the Randy that she originally fell in love with. And it was great to have him back.

After a little while, Brandon came running in. "Mommy, mommy! I'm going now."

She smiled and gave him a big hug and kiss. "You be good and we'll see you in a few hours, ok?"

Brandon nodded. "Ok. Bye Mom." And he ran out of the room.

Soon Randy came walking into their bedroom. "Wow, you look beautiful."

Amanda blushed. She was wearing a little, black dress with light make-up and had her hair whipped into a pretty up-do. She was not a diva by any means, but she was still very pretty. "Thanks hon. What are you going to wear?"

Randy pulled out a black pair of jeans and a nice shirt. "How's this?"

"Mmm…you'll look pretty hot in that."

He kissed her sweetly. "Give me 10 minutes and then we'll head out."

"Ok." And she left the bedroom.

When Randy had finished getting ready, he found her finishing up the dishes…in her nice dress. He laughed and knocked on the counter. "Ready?"

"Yup, lets go."

Together they left and headed out to dinner. They went to Amanda's favorite restaurant and were seated. They made their drink order and appetizer order and then Randy decided he couldn't hold back anymore.

"'Manda, I brought you here because I wanted to talk to you. I know that things have been going really great, and I know that I've been earning your trust back and I've definitely been earning the respect and love from Brandon. And the way that we've been living shows me exactly what I've been missing in my life. You and Brandon. I love you and I love Brandon so much. All I need is the two of you. Would you marry me and move back into the house?"

Amanda's eyes filled with tears. She smiled and nodded her head, "Yes, I'd love to marry you and move back to the house."

Randy leaned over the table and kissed her sweetly. "I swear to you on everything Amanda, the past is in our past and we will never be there again." Then he took the ring out and slid it on her finger.

She gasped, the ring was beautiful. "Randy, it's beautiful. I love you so much."

They both sat down and shared a wonderful meal. Then they rushed off to Elaine and Bob's to pick up Brandon and to share their good news.

Finally happiness and love had found their way and now Randy and Amanda would finally be the couple that they had always longed to be.

THE END!
