Epilogue

"You may now kiss."

It was one of the happiest moments in my life. The moment I became Johana Morin Del Valle. It was so priceless. It was all worth it when we became together as one. I know it's been a year since our wedding but I still feels like yesterday.

Our wedding was simple yet magical... I will never forget that day.

I can still remember what Bea said to me that day...

'You made life worth living, Johana. You made me realize why it didn't work out with all the ones who came before you. The moment I met you, I knew it will be different. I knew I will become selfless. I knew you will make me grow into who I am right now. I knew you will introduce me to a whole new kind of love. The love that's pure and the love that's true. You made me better because I want to be deserving of your love. I want to be enough for you. And I always want to share everything with you. I love you so much, Johana. I know it may sound so cliche but, everytime I look at you, I always see forever in you.'

It was really heartfelt. It made me fall for her even more. I promised to be a good wife to her... I promised to stay with her through thick and thin. Whatever happens, I will hold on to that promise because I love her with all my heart.

"Mommy!!!" I came back to my senses and stopped cooking our lunch when I heard Luis shouted.

Oh gosh. What did Bea do again?

I immediately went to our living room and saw Bea laughing at Luis.

"What did you do again, Beatriz?" I asked while staring at her with a serious face.

"What? Nothing..." She said while forcing herself not to laugh.

"Dada! You're a liar! Mommy look at Dada she's playing with my toys!" Luis complained and went to hug me. I glared at Bea. Luis would call Bea as her Dada because Bea told him so.

"Stop bothering him, Bea. Let him play with his toys alone."

"Huh? I'm not bothering him. I was just fixing his toys. Right baby Luis?"

Luis pouts. "I don't want to play with you Dada. You're so annoying Dada and it makes Mommy shout every night when you play toys with her. I don't want to hear noises every night Mom and Dada!"

Bea and I exchanged glances. Oh god.

I looked at Luis. "Do your hear us play every night?" I asked while Bea's waiting for Luis' answer. Facepalm it is.

"Yes, Mommy. You two were so noisy." Luis said innocently.

"And who told you we're playing?" I asked calmly again.

Luis points at Bea. "Dada. She told me to not go inside your bed room every 10 PM because she told me you will play together."

OH MY FREAKING GOSH, BEATRIZ DEL VALLE!!!

I looked at Bea and she looked away and start playing with Luis' toys. My goodness. She's acting as if she's done nothing wrong!

"Really? Don't worry baby Luis. Dada and I will stop playing too because I also don't want to play with her. So you can now sleep inside our room later, okay?"

Luis smiled at me while Bea's frowning. I laughed at Bea's reaction. You have to learn your own lesson, Beatriz.

"Yay! I love you, Mommy!" Said Luis and hugged me that's why I carried him.

"I love you too! Look at Dada, she looks so happy to sleep beside you later!" I said while laughing at Bea.

"Mommy, I don't think so. Look at Dada, she's frowning." Luis said and pouts.

Bea came close to us and carried Luis. "Dada is happy baby Luis. Look, I'm happy, right?"

I laughed as I went back to the kitchen to continue cooking. I can't believe Bea told Luis that thing. I guess we must stop 'playing' at 10 PM.

Yes, Bea and I already have an adopted child. Luis is already three years old and we treat him like our own. We really love Luis so much and I really love our small family and I wouldn't trade this for anything. They're my happiness.

As I was cooking, I suddenly felt Bea's arm wrapped around my waist. She's hugging me from the back.

"It's so unfair, Jo. Please take back what you said awhile ago." She said and rests her chin on my shoulder.

"No way. Just go back and watch your son there."

"Aw... Please my wife? Take it back. You know I'm tired from working all day and you won't give me just one round at night?"

I hit her head. "Really, Bea? Just one round? We do it every night so can you please take a rest for now? It's Saturday remember? You don't have work today so let's just spend more time with Luis."

I saw her frown. "So when will we do it again?"

Oh god. She's really a monster in bed. She's so active and I can't take it anymore! If you don't understand what we're talking about... then just don't. It's something that's exclusive for couples only.

"Monday-Wednesday-Friday."

"What kind of schedule is that?" She said and rolled her eyes.

"What? You'll agree or we'll stop it?"

"Yay! I like the new schedule!" She said and hugged me.

"Alright... Go back to the living room. I'll prepare our lunch."

She pecked on my lips. "Yes my wife! I love you!"

I laughed at her. "I love you too!"

Even if we're married, nothing has changed between me and Bea. We're still sweet and clingy towards each other and I'm loving it. She makes me feel special everyday. She never gets tired of showing me how much she loves me and Luis despite her busy schedule at work.

After eating our lunch, I helped Luis take a bath while Bea is washing the dishes. Since it's Saturday, we're planning to visit Ella and Jia, we'll also go to my parent's house because they want to see Luis. They miss their grandson so much.

**

"Mommy Ella!!!" Luis shouted when we arrived at Ella's house. He really loves her Aunt Ella because Ella would always give him food and toys. That's why Luis is so chubby and cute.

But it was not Ella who opened the gate. It was Jianna.

"Hi, Jo! Hi baby Luis!" Jia greeted us and she pinched Luis' cheeks.

"Mommy!" Luis said and hugged me. Luis does not like Aunt Jia because Jia would always tease him and Luis does not want to be teased. He's kinda sensitive just like her Dada.

"Wow! Why are you so snob Luis? You're just like your Dada huh!" Jia said and laughed.

"Enough of that Jia. Let's just go inside. Is Miguel here?" I asked.

"Nope he has clients today. I'm all alone again." Jianna said.

Jianna has finally found her the one and it was our photographer during my marriage proposal to Bea or should I say, during our exchange of proposals rather. They both fell in love with each other and Miguel courted him until today that they're now engaged.

"Aw, it's okay. He has to work hard to give you a good life." I said.

"Well, you have a point. Oh! Hi Bea!" She said when she saw Bea and hugged her.

"Is Miguel here?" Bea asked too.

"Why are you guys looking for him? He's not here. He has clients today." Jianna said bitterly and we laughed.

"Oh no! Maybe she's finding someone right now to replace you." Bea teased.

"How'd you know? You're doing it too when you're gone?" I asked Bea.

She rolled her eyes. "Of course not! I'm happy and contented with you."

"Enough of that! Let's go inside." Jianna said.

When we entered the house we saw Eula and Luis eating together. They look so cute.

"Hi Ella!" I greeted. Bea and I hugged her.

I walked closer to Eula and talked to her for awhile and hugged her. I don't know but every time I see Eula, I always remember how Bea used to think that she's my daughter.

I can't help but laugh at my own thoughts.

"Someone's crazy right here." Jianna said pertaining to me.

"I just thought of Bea." I said.

"Wow, can't get enough of Bea huh?" Ella said.

"Yup. She would also scream my name every night." Bea teased.

"Eww!" Jianna reacted.

"Stupid! I just remember how you used to think Eula was my daughter." I said to Bea and they all laughed except for Bea.

"Ugh. Please stop bringing up that thing. What's important is we have a happy ending." Bea said while her face is starting to turn red.

"Oh gosh! I can still remember it!" Ella said while laughing so hard.

"But Jianna and Marci's love story is worth bringing up." I said teasing Jia.

"Whatever, Johana!" Jia said and rolled her eyes.

"You're still bitter about it?" Bea asked.

"Of course not! But I just don't want to remember it." Jia said.

"It's because she already found someone better." Ella said and we smiled at Jia.

"Yup and I am so in love with my Miguel." Jia said while cupping her face. Cute! I love seeing Jianna happy.

"What about you, Ella? How's life?" I asked.

"Life is good so far." Ella said.

"Do you have any plans on having a baby again? Eula is slowly becoming a big girl." I said while looking at Eula.

"Actually we're planning to do it later at night. Just kidding! We still don't think of that. We want to focus on Eula first." Ella said. She is really a good mother. I'm inspired by the way she takes care of Eula.

"I don't have any plans on asking Jo about her steamy life. I know they do it every night." Jianna said that's why we laughed.

I can feel my face hot because I remember how Bea does it with me. In all fairness, Bea is great in bed. Oh god. Why am I thinking about this right now?

"Johana's blushing! You're shy about it? Don't be!" Ella said and laughed at me.

"She's shy." Bea said and wrapped her arm around my waist.

We continued catching up with each other. It's great that even if we all have different lives right now, we still find time for each other. We never forget about each other and nothing really changed with the way we treat each other.

Bea also frees her time to catch up with her friends. Bea told me that Madeline and Pauline are now also engaged. We're happy for them.

It feels good that after everything that has happened, we're all good now.

"Bye Jia! Bye Ella! See you again next time! Bye my baby Eula!" I said to them and hugged them one by one. We have to leave because we still have to go to my parent's house since it's already 5 PM.

Right after we bid our goodbyes, we instant headed to our car. While Bea's driving she held my hand so I looked at her and we smiled to each other.

This simple gesture from Bea makes me fall for her even more. I'm so blessed to have her in my life... so as Luis.

"Bea..." I called her.

"Yes my wife?"

"I love you."

I saw her smiled while focusing on the road. "I love you more baby."

"Mommy! Dada! I love you both!" Said Luis while he's at the back seat. Bea and I exchanged glances and laughed because our baby Luis is jealous.

"We love you too baby Luis. So much. Right, Mommy?" Said Bea and glanced at me.

"Yup! Mommy loves our cutie chubby baby Luis." I said and looked at Luis. I saw him pout.

"Mommy I'm not chubby. I'm just like Dada... We're strong."

"Oh wow! You really idolize me baby huh?" Said Bea.

"Of course Dada! I want to be as strong as you so we can protect Mommy. So that she's always safe. Dada, we don't want mommy to get hurt right? So we have to be strong." Luis explained.

"Yes baby Luis. No one can hurt Mommy Jo as long as we're here because we love her so much, right?" Bea said while looking at Luis in the rear view mirror. I saw Luis nodded.

"Aww... My babies are so sweet." I said and they both giggled.

They really know how to make my smile. I know I say this a lot but I am so happy to have them in my life, they're the greatest blessings in my life.

**

We're now here in my parent's house and Luis immediately ran to my younger sister Janel the moment he saw her.

"Jaja!!!" Luis shouted and hugged Janel. Luis would call her Jaja because he finds it hard to say 'Janel'. He also likes her Aunt Janel because Janel would always give him toys and chocolates.

"Good evening, Mom and Dad." Bea said kissed my parents. What I love about Bea is how she always respects my parents. It's a big turn on.

"Oh no! We forgot to tell you to bring extra clothes for Luis. We really missed our grandson and we want him to stay here until Sunday if it's okay with you." Dad said.

"Sure, Dad! It's okay with us. Luis has extra clothes in Janel's closet since we forgot to bring them last time." Bea said while smiling to my father. Hmm... I can sense something about Bea.

"That's good. Eat dinner with us, okay?" Mom said.

"Sure, Mom." I said.

Bea and I went to the living room to watch television while my parents and Janel is playing with Luis.

"You're smile is so big." I said to Bea as I noticed it.

"You already know why, baby." She said and winked at me.

"Know what?"

"Luis will not be with us later. So..." She said and wiggled her eyebrows.

"Shut up, Bei." I told her and went to my parents. Of course, I was just teasing her. I know what she means.

So after eating our dinner we decided to go home. We bid goodbye to them and headed to our car.

Bea is quiet and she's not in the mood. Maybe because she feels like I rejected her awhile ago. Well, I actually did not.

"Bei..."

"Hmm?" She asked while focusing on the road.

"You mad at me?" I asked.

"No."

"But why are you so quiet?" I asked.

She took a deep breath. "Okay, I'm in a bad mood right now Jo." She admits.

I laughed. "What's so funny?" She asked.

I did not answer until we finally got home. I fixed our things first while Bea headed instantly to our room. I bit my lower lip trying not to smile because I find her cute. Until I followed her to our room and saw her resting on our bed while reading a book.

"You done using the shower?" I asked even though it's obvious because her hair is wet. But she nodded anyway.

"Still not in the mood?" I asked but she did not respond so I come close to her and kissed her cheek. "I love you."

But still, I got no response from her. So I just took a quick shower because I already know how to get Bea in the right mood again.

After I took a quick shower, I immediately went out of the comfort room and saw Bea already resting on the bed and she's not facing me so I called her...

"Baby..."

Still no response.

"Babe... Bea!"

She turned around to look at me. "What?"

"Can you make love with me tonight?" I asked and give her a sexy smile.

I saw her smiled. "Do you really have to pissed me off, Johana?" She asked and shook her head.

"Sorry! But, I think it's time to get you in the right mood again." She laughed at me and jumped off the bed as she walks closer to me.

I laughed when she carried me in a bridal style. "I love you baby. Can we let Luis stay longer in your parent's house?"

"No. And I just want you to know that after this, we'll follow the new schedule." I said and pinched her nose.

"Alright, whatever." She said.

"I love you, Bea." I whispered to her ears and she smirked.

"I love you more my Johana. You ready?" She asked while staring at me.

"I'm always ready." I said and winked at her and we both laughed.

And just like that, I felt our souls collide just as our bodies do tonight. I know it wasn't the first time but I just love how she lets me experience LOVE in a way that cannot be spoken nor written nor sung, but in a way that can only be shown and felt through her touch.

And tonight, we allowed ourselves to fall deeper in love, just like before but in a whole different level with a new perspective...
