Epilogue

On February 2, 2015 Scott and I are getting married. It will be one of the best days of my life so far. I still remember the day he proposed it was cute. A month after we were back at Woodchester he asked if I wanted to go to William's grave site. He knows that I've made it a priority to go there at least twice a month.

Saying yes we waited till we both got off work to go so we went pretty late in the day. Scott waited in the car while I said a few words to William. "William it's me grace I hope you can hear. I just wanted to say that we beat Edgar. He's gone and will never hurt anyone ever again. Scott also misses you along with your family. You were taken from this world too soon.''

Moments later Scott appeared behind me. "Which is why I wanted to do this here." I was confused about what he meant but when I turned around I wanted to cry. He was down on one knee with a ring in hand. "Grace we went through so much in a short period of time. It made me appreciate the time I have with you. Will you do me the honors of becoming my wife?"

"Yes of course I will.'' He put the ring on my finger and spun me in circles. I honestly thought he would pop the question sooner than this. But this moment right here is perfect. A part of me was sad that my parents or William couldn't be there for my special day.

That we went home and enjoyed a nice dinner for the occasion. Days went by as we planned for the special day. Only a few more weeks till our weddings. Having a venue picked out along with flower arrangements. Soon the day arrived for me to walk down the aisle and meet Scott.

We were in a beautiful garden with roses and lilies surrounding us. Scott wore a tux with a dark blue tie. I was wearing a silk white dress that was flowing at the bottom and was seamless. That day I've never seen Scott so happy. When we said our vows tears were in his eyes. After saying "I do" he pulled me close and kissed me with so much passion.

Our wedding day was a perfect memory. Now today marks two years after the incident. I've been going to see William's grave as often as I can. Always leaving white roses and a card next to the grave. Those flowers were his favorite. I remember him having them in his office. If he was here he would be happy that I'm alive and well.

Footsteps brought me away from the beautiful memories. I see Scott walking into the room being very handsome. He's holding our baby in his arms trying to keep quiet to not disturb him. Yes we have a baby boy and he was born a year after we were married. We named him after William and he's only seven months old.

He had my hair and Scott's blue eyes making him a very handsome baby. Hopefully he doesn't break hearts when he's older. William's going to be like his daddy when he grows to be a man. Taking him from Scott I put our little boy in his crib.

Scott grabs my hand and we go to the living room. "What were you thinking about before I walked in? You seemed very content with yourself."

"That I was lucky to find someone like you in my life. Even though when we met we didn't like each other. I love you so much Scott.''

"You're the best thing in my life Grace. I couldn't ask for anyone better even if we did get off on the wrong foot as you put it. Grace you're my other half my soulmate for life."

Tears were falling down my cheeks. Slowly his thumbs wiped them all away. I then lifted my head and looked into his eyes. The happiness in his gaze made me smile with pure joy. No more worrying about losing him forever. Or our son having powers as well. Since our son wasn't born at midnight or under a new moon he won't inherit the beast or my powers.

We stayed like that for a few minutes. Then the baby monitor went off and our little William began to cry. Going to his room the sound of his cries got louder and broke my heart. I pick him up trying to soothe his cries.

When he started nuzzling his head against my chest I knew he was hungry and needed to be breastfed. Scott left the room and I fed our son. As I was putting William back in his crib Scott opened the door.

"You want to visit William's grave today?" I nodded my head. Since I had baby William I never had time to visit anymore. "Okay I'll clothe our son and be ready to leave in a few minutes." Leaving the room I waited by the car so I can be prepared to put him in the car seat.

Minutes later he walked out with our son in his arms. Helping we put in the car seat we began our journey to the grave site. White roses were already in the backseat Scott was definitely prepared for this. Finally we made it to the cemetery. As I took William out of the carseat Scott grabbed the roses. Tears threatened to spill as we neared the grave.

Scott laid the roses down. Handing our baby to him I crouched in front of the grave. William was always there for me. He was the first on my side after the death of my parents. 

"I just wanted to say thank you for everything. You were always there for me when I needed you. Scott and I have a son and we named him after you." Not saying anything I stayed there in silence. Just enjoying the moment of meeting him even if he's not physically there.

Standing up we stood there for thirty minutes before we were ready to leave. As we rode away with little William in the back seat I smiled. The years ahead were nothing but bright and joyous. And I get to spend them with the people I love the most in the entire world.
