A/N: Hey guys! Bet you thought I was dead. Let me just say, I am so sorry I haven't posted lately. I got super busy and time just got away from me.
So I'm not sure exactly where I was going with this story on paper, as my computer crashed. But I took the time to re-read my story, and I have decided that this is a good place to end it. This is the final chapter of This Feeling, and I think it could be considered an Epilogue as well. There will be a note at the end of this chapter, but for now, let's get on to the story.
Disclaimer: Never owned it, doubt I ever will.
Slowly, she became accustomed to the feeling. The weight of another body in the bed. The warmth of an arm around her waist. Another toothbrush by the sink.
And she grew to love it. She loved that they were late to Sunday lunch because they got a bit distracted. She loved Sunday lunch. She loved messy bathroom floors and clothes scattered about her bedroom.
She loved that he was always there when she had a nightmare. She loved that the nightmares started to go away. She loved Chinese takeout and sweatshirts too big for her.
She loved how her stomach grew, and how he loved it too. She loved baby toys and 4am crying. She loved sobbing when they sent them off to school. She loved planning weddings, and seeing tears in his eyes as he walked their daughter down the aisle. She loved the silver in his hair, and caring for babies again. She loved front porch rockers and she loved old photographs. She still loved Sunday lunch.
She loved him.
And often enough, when you love someone; if you really, really love someone; things work themselves out. Not to say that their journey would be easy and pain free, but then, what good story ever is. He wasn't a prince, and she sure as hell wasn't a princess, but their fairytale still had a happy ending. It involved some sleepless nights, and bullets; vests and badges; death and life; hurt and healing; but it was their story. And she wouldn't change it for anything in the world. She loved this feeling.
Fin.
