EPILOGUE

The next day

/"Hey baby./" Axel's raspy voice greets me as I open my eyes, beyond tired.

Something seems different, but I can't exactly put my finger to it.

/"Axel?/" I ask, but I'm answered by a baby's cry. /"Shit./" Axel silently curses and I'm completely awake all of a sudden.

My eyesight clears and focuses on the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and will probably ever see. Axel is sitting on a chair right next to me, his eyes looking tired beyond help but still with a smile on his face, looking down on his lap.

And there there's a white bundle of blankets, about the size of an average loaf of bread, with a tiny, tiny hand sticking out of it, stretching towards Axel.

/"Axel./" my voice breaks in the middle and he finally looks at me, looking as happy as I've ever seen him.

/"Sophie. Baby, I love you but I have to tell you that I've fallen in love with another girl./" he says, mocking sadness.
