We follow them, Ella, and Vicki to the door After oodbye, and I close the door behind theulf Jules, and I pull her to ood to have her there I’ve held her multiple times since she came to stay with me, each time more perfect than the last, but it’s different now There’s nothing holding back our feelings No shauilt, no doubt, and no uncertainty It’s pure and real and precious and there’s not a da with it I’ve loved this wootten for a while, but even before we got our memories back, I felt it, and I know she did too Because of that, it’s stronger than it ever was before

“Tired?” I ask, gazing down into a pair of eyes that captured me from the first moment I saw them and countless times while I slept

She releases a sigh, and I have my answer before she speaks “Exhausted”

“Coet you to bed”

I bend and scoop her up into my arms I’m in heaven when she throws her arm around my shoulders and nestles close She yawns and then kisses my neck

I take us to the bedrooently place her on the bed We both need showers, but that’ll have to come later Jules’s body needs rest at the moment more than it needs to be clean

I help her out of her clothes then she helpsout of my pocket before ht now, but I want nothing more than to make love to Jules… my wife Fuck, I love the sound of that

As soon as et the chance to reach for her, Jules is oneach other, ars tangled You couldn’t fit a piece of paper between us Just the way I like it

“My wife,” I whisper, and watch Jules close her eyes When she opens them next, happiness shines in the beautiful orbs

“My husband,” she whispers just as softly Those tords center ot the chance to live as husband and wife before ere cruelly ripped apart Now though, we have all the tile second of it

“There was soave to me”

Her brows lift “Isn’t it illegal to take stuff from a crime scene?”

“It is, but I’ainst Theo that they won’t need this or the sonogram”

There’s no fucking way I’et the that chance

“What is it?”
