COURTNEY AND RUFUS DECLARES THEIR LOVE TO EACH OTHER

Rufus lifting Martha up, "If you had only told me you were coming here, I would have delayed my trip."

"No son, you look happy now, I am glad to know that all is well."

"Oh, I am so very happy Martha, you have always supported me."

"And you, my dear and precious child, you had broken your promise and leave me behind."

"I am sorry granny, but you knew who I was all along, and you never said anything to me, do you know how happy it would have been knowing I had you with me in a strange land."

"I am sorry, but I was always with you, I know I didn't I say anything, but some things mustn't be uttered."

"Yes, yes, I know, we must wait until it unravels itself and now that I know you are my grandmother I am blessed and proud to say, I had battled together with you and it was victorious."

When Tamara said, "But you were responsible for me not being at the church, and now Courtney is the Queen of the Island wherever that is?"

Martha hugs her, "No my child, your lifestyle would have caused your death on that Island, that's why I had to stop you, and this child had to go in your place.

She had what it take to fight the battle, she was strong. Look at it this way, I saved your life to see another tomorrow, and you have change a lot within those months. We will talk later, now I am tired, hungry and I need to rest."

Turning Courtney to face him, "I hope you know it wasn't my fault, blame your grandmother for my anger, so all deal is off."

"What do you mean?"

Rufus seeing the fear in her eyes as the tears welled up kissing her lips, then her eyes nose and mouth once more, "You wanted to explore me, but I will instead."

Hearing her laugh, makes his heart rejoice, 'This is the first I have seen her so happy,' when she said. "Who cares, we will explore, only this time it will be different, we will do it together."

Lifting her of the floor kissing her lips, "My goodness this feel so wonderful, I can't wait to start exploring, I love you so much."

"And I love you very much and Rufus, I am sorry for the many hurtful things I have told you, will you please forgive me."

"No my love it is I that must say sorry, I have hurt you but I have no regrets, because if things didn't happen how it did I would have never tasted this joy I am experiencing right now.

But from now on I know our lives will be different, we will have each other to lean on, and you will have no more struggles if and when you will give me more children.

Because my love, this time if that were to happen, I will be always there holding your hand.

When Tamara came and hug her, saying before this man takes you away from home, you have to show me how to cut some hair and fix some nails, the other things could wait until another time.

The week was unbelievable, I have never had the joy spending time with Tamara, seeing so many changes, she is a very fast learner and she had made me proud.

Mom and Martha could not stop sharing the things they had went through being apart. I was happy to hear that Martha will be staying with Mom.

I will miss her but Rufus said every month when he coming to buy supplies on the Mainland, we will be travelling with him and spend a day or two with them.

He also invited mom to visit anytime to spend a few days or even to live on the Island with us if she so desires.

Martha was overjoyed saying, if she does she can stay in her house.

With Tamara being happy taking care with mom and working by neighbor John, I know I will not have to worry anymore.

And with her using my saloon, Rufus and I went and purchase all I will need to open a saloon in the Island for the girls.

Returning to the Island after we had stayed an entire week, Mom's and Pappie had plan a grand reception for us.

The girls together with Carlos, did the decorations and help Oliver prepared all the meals.

Kimberly and Mom's had baked the cake and Rufus Mom and Dad were the perfect host, both happy and proudly meeting and greeting everyone with the babies.

When the day was finally over and we were by our selves hearing Rufus saying, "Now my darling, I have waited for this moment, to hear those beautiful words from your lips for so long, will you please repeat it for me, so I don't think this was all a dream."

Taking his face between her both palms and kiss his lips then said, "I love you very much, and don't you ever forget that."

Hugging him, thinking, 'This is true love, if I had married Kyle it would have been a big blunder. He is selfish, and a fraud.

Lord, from all that I had endured and learn during this time, I must thank You. It was You who brought me here and protected me from being hurt.

You have ordered my footsteps and here I am today. I love You Lord for loving me, now I give You everything I have because it's all because of you, thank You Jesus for giving me a beautiful family and making me a Queen in Your Island.'

Rufus smiles when he heard her prayed, 'I had waited patiently for almost a whole year to hear her say those words. Lord I thank You for Your grace that was sufficient for me,

You have chosen me the perfect Queen for Your Island, You have given me an Heir just as I wanted, and most important You have allowed me to taste what is true love.

You my Lord have forgiven me and gives me my heart desires. I will always be grateful and thankful for leading and directing me.
