I love you not only for what you are, but what I am when I am with you.
"Love! Hey wake up!" I jolted awake, feeling someone shaking me.
"T-Theo," I said, choked with tears, and hugged him. I thought he was gone, but it was all just a dream.
"Hush, love. It was just a dream, hm," he said softly and kissed my forehead.
I was happily playing with my son and husband when I heard the doorbell ring. We had just moved into a new house, Theo being wealthy and all.
"Hold on, baby, Daddy will just open the gate," my love said.
He came back a moment later, but I was shocked and my blood boiled when I saw who was with him.
"You have the nerve to come here? Especially you!" I stormed towards my sister and slapped her on both cheeks. I was about to grab her hair when Theo stopped me.
"Love, relax. I know they did a lot of wrong to you, but violence isn't the solution, okay? I know you're better than that," he said calmly, calming me down. He was right, I shouldn't let my emotions get the better of me.
"Forgive me, Keia, I regret what I did to you and to all of you. I admit I was so envious of you, but that's not a reason to hurt you," my sister said, kneeling down, remorse in her eyes.
"Daughter, please forgive your mother too. I was just blinded by my love for your sister and Theo's wealth," my mother said, kneeling down as well.
I was disgusted by them, but my heart couldn't bear to see them like that, so I pulled them up and hugged them tightly. It must have been a few seconds before we released each other from the embrace.
"It takes time to heal the wound you gave me and forgive someone. But I hope you can wait. Thank you, sister, for being my best friend when we were kids. I remember how you defended me from bullies. And to you, Mom, thank you for taking care of me and loving me like your own daughter," I said, causing the three of us to cry.
It's funny how the people we hate sometimes are the people we used to love or will always love.
Theo's POV
Tears escaped my eyes as I watched the girl I love walking down the aisle. Finally, after years of waiting, I was able to marry the girl I truly love. She looked so beautiful in white, she looked so perfect.
"I, Theo Ray Monvilla, take you Claire Rain Damian to be my wife. I promise to be faithful to you, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love you and to honor you all the days of my life," I uttered as I put the ring on her finger.
"I, Claire Rain Damian, take you Theo Ray Monvilla to be my husband. I promise that I will always be a shoulder to cry on and to wipe tears. I'll stand by you forever, and I will always be there for you. I cannot wait to face the many adventures of life together," she uttered and put the ring on my finger.
"I now proclaim you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride," the priest said. I covered our son's face before kissing her.
"Love, I need to tell you something," she whispered.
"What is it, love?" I asked.
"Cleo is going to have a sibling. I'm pregnant with our twins," she said happily.
Overwhelmed with joy, I picked her up and shouted, "I'm pregnant!" which made everyone laugh.
The end
