Chapter 105 EPILOGUE: Happy Endings
TWO MONTHS LATER — LEO’S HOME
Leo looked around the large dining table and a pleased smile appeared on his face. Darby had insisted on a small wedding where only their family members are in attendance. He would have loved to show her to the world but he had to oblige to her needs. Seeing everyone’s familiar happy face made him appreciate her decision. He smiled widely at Sinclair running around the open space stressing out both of his grandfathers.
“What are you looking at?” Aaron questioned in a taunting voice next to him.
His eyes had been on Darby who seem to be having a good time talking to all of the women in attendance. Zac and Chloe were in attendance too, it surprised Leo when Chloe had told him about their new found friendship. It made him delighted that Chloe wasn’t doing the pregnancy alone. Something he wished to have done during Darby’s pregnancy with Sinclair.
Leo grinned cheerfully. “I am staring at my beautiful bride. I can’t believe this is happening, Aaron.” He felt a sharp pinch by his side. “What the fuck man!” He yelled.
Aaron wiggled his brows, “I thought you needed me to bring you back to reality. I was just helping.”
“You are crazy.” He laughed. “Thank you, Aaron.”
“For what?”
“For everything. For always calling me back to order and always picking my calls even at the most inconvenient time. Thank you for the constant support. I don’t know what I would have done without you.”
“It’s nothing to be thankful for friend. You are an amazing person, Leo. And it’s human to make mistakes, but one has to be a specially made being to admit to one’s mistake and also do all that it takes to amend it. I’m most proud of you man.”
“Wow! I never knew you could be this serious in your life.” Leo teased.
“This is why I hate being nice.” Aaron huffed rolling his eyes. “Remind me to always reserve my speech away from you.”
Leo laughed, “I would definitely do that.”
“Hey, bro, it’s time to eat.” Scarlett called out to him, she had Sinclair in her hands.
“Those two are inseparable.” Aaron commented.
Everyone took their seats and Darby sat next to Leo. “Hi, husband.”
“Hey, wifey.” He chuckled kissing her.
Aaron stood up raising his glass and hitting it with a spoon to call their attention. “I’m sorry to bother you all. I know we are so ready to dig into the meals. My belly is rumbling too.” Everyone laughed at his joke. “But then, we would need the groom to give a toast before we all wine and dine. Leo, you may have the stage.”
Leo placed a kiss on Darby’s forehead before he got up. “I want to thank you all for coming here today. It has been delightful. At first I wondered why Darby was insistent on a low-key wedding, but now I understand it. It is more endearing sharing this lifetime vows with the people we care about the most. Thank you for loving us and coming through this journey with us. We would be needing you in this new journey we are about to embark on. I hope we would get your support till the end. To my three parents, I am so grateful to you both. To Darby’s parents and aunt, thank you for accepting me. To my lovely sister-”
“That’s me!” Scarlett yelled causing everyone to chuckle.
“Trust me, Scarlett you mean so much to me. Aaron, my best man, thanks for being you. Chloe, I am glad we have been able to sort our differences. Thank you for not holding a grudge. Zac, I know we aren’t best of friends but thank you for helping Darby in my place, I will never forget you. Isabella, you are an amazing friend, thank you. To my handsome, son. Thanks for loving daddy, I promise to be the best father to you, son. And to the very queen of my heart, Darby. Believe me baby, I saved the best for last.” He said turning to her.
Staring sweetly at her, he smiled brightly. “Darby, I know this seem to have become an everyday mantra but I promise you baby, I mean every word of it. Thank you for giving me the chance to be referred to as your husband. I am not saying I won’t make mistakes. I definitely would. But I promise to be responsible for every of my actions. I promise to be loyal to you and be your best friend. Since I can’t turn back the hands of time, I promise to ensure everyday is worthwhile. Thank you for forgiving me, baby. I love you so much, Darby, to the moon and back. I love you.”
“I love you too, baby.” Darby sniffed back a tear.
“Hey, don’t cry. It’s a happy day.” He whispered bending towards her to wipe her tears. Raising his glass up, “cheers to happy moments, guys.”
“Cheers!” The small crowd chorused.
“Thank you for the long speech, Mr Robin. I almost cried.” Aaron snickered after Leo speech ended.
“You are just jealous.” Leo retorted laughing.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“So, our beautiful damsel, Darby would also like to say a word. You have the floor, Darby.” Said Aaron.
Holding Leo’s hand to get up, Darby mouthed a thank you. “Thank you, Aaron. I don’t have much to say, funnily enough. I’m just so filled with appreciation towards everyone of you here today. Thank you for always being there. I don’t want to live my life away from you all now, I want you in my life till the end of time. Thank you so much. I love you all, but I love my husband and son the most.” She laughed along with the others. “We have a news to share to further brighten the mood tonight. Should I do the honors, Leo?”
“Yes, baby. Own it.” Leo replied.
“So, we would be having another baby in the next seven months.” She announced.
Happy noises floated through the table as everyone rolled out congratulations. Darby laughed heartily as Leo lifted her off the floor and he kissed her passionately. Ever since he heard of her pregnancy a few days to their wedding, he has been super excited. Darby couldn’t have wished for a better life than this, she was finally home. Los Angeles is home. Home is where the people she cares about live.
