I still can't believe this is real. This is everything I ever wanted; everything I ever hoped for.

I lie secure in Scott's arms and I must contain myself from smiling. How could I ever have been this lucky, this blessed? I'm married to the man of my dreams, my Prince……..my dreams have come true….how many can say that?

I know he's still plagued by doubt and fears. If not Rogue and Logan had intervened on my behalf Scott would have let us slip away; his honour and sense of duty would have kept him away. I don't doubt his love for me because that love was a part of why he wanted to stay away from me; he wanted me to grow, to choose, he wouldn't do anything to dishonour me and he thought and still thinks I can do better. How wrong he is. He's the only man I have ever wanted and ever will want as my own. Even if it takes me forever I'll let him know that he's more than worth my love and always have been.

We had two wonderful weddings and two wedding nights to follow…….Scott is just as romantic as I hoped he would be. Our first time together was everything I had ever hoped it would be and more; we went to the finest hotel and had an amazing but expensive French dinner followed by dancing and then he carried me to the honeymoon suite he had rented for us. Inside he had made sure there were flowers everywhere and there were rose petals on the bed. The moonlight had made everything shine with a special glow and it was just a magical night…….just like I wanted it.

I've never been in doubt but now I'm surer than ever; he's the one for me. With him I have everything. We'll make this work no matter what others may say because I feel we're connected at the heart.

I look at him sleeping and I smile warmly. He looks so peaceful and young in sleep, all his worries gone for a while. I let a gentle hand run through his thick brown hair. He's everything to me, as necessary to me as the air I breathe. I don't know what I would do without him and I don't want to know.

I want to spend the rest of my life with him; safe in his embrace and his love. I want to love him forever……..I want to grow old with him by my side; together we'll make life a beautiful journey worth taking. I wanna grow old with him; I wanna die laying in his arms.

I bend down and softly kiss him on the forehead and whisper;

"I love you. I always have and I always will."

I swear I see him smiling in his sleep as if he knows. I lie down beside him and lay my head on his chest, listening to the calming sound of his heartbeat. His arms close around me and I smile.

I got everything I ever wanted. What more is there to say?

The End
