EXTENDED EPILOGUE - Rhys
F
uck, she’s beautiful.
The thought consumed his mind as his gorgeous, glowing bride drifted down the aisle to him. He couldn't focus on anyone or anything else, she was everything to him. He'd been infatuated with her since he'd first met her, her innocence and the sense of normality she’d brought to his fucked up world drawing him in like he'd never imagined possible.
For years, his guitar and his brothers were the only things he'd cared about, only things he'd wanted to care about, until Serena had entered his life.
It’d been touch and go there for a while, but he'd always known this woman was different, that she made him want to be the man he never knew he wanted to be, even as he fucked up with her time after time. And now she was about to be his forever. The girl who got his stupid jokes, understood his weird moods, enjoyed his favorite Marvel movies so much that he had to stop her from watching them one after the other, the only woman who’d ever seen him for who he really was - and loved him for it.
And now also the mother of his unborn children. The news had come as one hell of a shock. He'd never thought for one single second that had been what was up with her that morning, but as soon as she’d told him, his life had taken on another dimension. One where he would live forever, leave something behind way beyond himself and even his music. He'd never thought about kids much, but in that moment, he'd been silently begging the gods that the tests were right and that he'd have a chance to do for his kids what his parents never could for him.
As her father placed her trembling hand in his and their eyes met, nothing in his world had ever felt more right - not being on stage, not his guitar-she was his right, his home, and somehow, she felt exactly the same way about him, and he got to keep her by his side forever.
