Epilogue
One year later...
“Rose! Can you help me move my boxes?” I yell down the hallway.
She walks into the room with a small pout on her face. “I can’t believe you’re moving out. I’m going to miss you.”
“I know, but it’s time for me to take things to the next level with Garrett plus... we’re about to be expecting something and it will work best if we’re together.”
A confused expression crosses her face. “What are you expecting?”
“You’ll find out soon but I haven’t even told him yet.”
“I don’t like you being so secretive.”
“I know, but it will all be worth it.”
“I’m going to miss you so much,” Rose pouts again.
“But you’ll be so busy with this new club, that you won’t have time for me anyway.”
“Thank you,” Rose smiles.
“I’ve told you that you don’t have to thank me,” I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes again.
“But I want to. Thank you for lending me the money to start my own club. It means the world to me to do this. That has always been my dream.”
“It’s my pleasure to help my best friend.”
We embrace in another tight hug. We have hugged so much lately.
The doorbell rings and I rush to go answer it.
Garrett is standing there with a big smile on his face. “I can’t believe we’re actually moving in together.”
I kiss him on the cheek. “I know, right? I’m really excited. Plus... I have some news for you.”
“What is it?”
“Hold on. Rose! Come in here! I’m about to spill the news.”
Rose comes into the living room. “Okay, so spill it already. I don’t like to be kept out of the loop.”
I laugh. “Well, you two will be pleased to know that I am pregnant!”
“Wow, really?” exclaims Rose.
“Are you sure?” asks Garrett as he swoops me up into a hug.
“Yes, I’m sure. I took the test last week and then the doctor confirmed it for me. We’re having a baby!”
“Oh, my gosh! I’m so happy for you two.”
“Wow, baby! I don’t even know what to say. I love you.” Garrett’s mouth almost drops to the floor.
“I love you, too, baby,” I say as I kiss him passionately.
“Oh, gosh, get a room!” exclaims Rose.
“Oh yes, we will,” I smile.
