Planned Baby

Epilogue

I thought that life is so unfair. I even hated God for letting all of this happen I only loved one woman in my life, but why did God allow me to be the reason for her sufferings?

I hated God so much that I tried to kill myself. I feel like, my mere existence is the cause of the suffering of many people. The suffering of the people I love.

They said when you don't understand, you just need to trust God

I failed to do this. I failed to trust Him. One thing God has proved to me was, that he is still in control

He did not let me die, instead, He gave me what I longed to desire, and that is Ellie. I can't believe that she asked me to marry her. It felt like a dream. I can't believe that I am here on the altar waiting for her to walk down the aisle.

Today is our wedding day. Our family and friends were delighted when they found out that Ellie and I will get married. The twins cried with happiness. They have been praying for this to happen, day and night.

I can't stop my tears from flowing when I saw my children walking with their mother on the aisle. As always, Alistair is wearing the same suit that I had, while Amelia is wearing the same wedding dress that Ellie was wearing. excluding the veil. Instead. Amelia is wearing a white flower crown.

The twins are both holding on to their mother’s wedding dress. I turned my gaze at my wife. Finally, I can call her wife! I can see that my wife was controlling her tears to flow but she failed. My wife looks at me. I smile and mouthed “I love you" to her. She smiles and mouthed “I love you too.”

As a man, I can’t accept the fact that she was the one who proposed to me. That is why I invite them to go with me to our private island. I asked my children’s help to do a ramantic proposal for Ellie. A wedding proposal that she deserves to experience

Flashback

It was not hard to plan because I’ve been wanting to propose to her since we were in college. I only want Ellie to be my wife and the mother of my children.

I hired people to set up a romantic dinner on the beach.

While I was making sure that everything went well, I asked Amelia and Alistair to spend time with their mother so that she will not have any idea about my plan to propose to her.

When everything was ready, I went to our room to check on them. I saw the love of my life sleeping with our children. I woke up Alistair and asked him to stay quiet. I told him to go to the other room to get the box I prepared for Ellie. Then, I woke up Amelia. I also told her to stay quiet and go to the other room to change their outfit.

When Alistair arrived carrying the box I asked him to get. I told him the same instruction I told Amelia

Then I left a card with instructions on the bedside table. Then I place the box that has the dress and shoes I prepared for Ellie. She needs to wear those for tonight's romantic dinner date slash wedding proposal.

A moment later, I saw Ellie looking so surprised upon seeing the romantic dinner that I set up for her. She continues to walk on the red carpet with rose petals scattered in the ground and candles at both sides of the carpet. I smile at her when she finally met my gaze.

“What is all this?” Ellie asked still looking surprised.

“A romantic dinner for you, my Quinn,” I said then I handed her a bouquet of tulips, her favorite flower. “Thank you.” She said. then I showed her to her seat.

“You like it?” I asked after I was seated in my seat.

Ellie was still roaming the place. “Yes. I love it. But where are the kids?” She asked.

“You will see them in a bit,” I assure her.

When we are both settled, I open the wine and pour it into our wine glass, it also serves as a hint to the twins that they can already serve the food that I prepare for tonight.

A minute later, I already saw Alistair and Amelia wearing their waiter outfit and carrying our dinner.

“Mr. Escarrer and Ms. Cabello, here's your dinner for tonight,” Alistair said in a formal tone.

Ellie chuckles and looks at them. "Oh, it's you guys again. Can I also hire you as my waiter?” She teases them. “I'm sorry Ms. Cabello but we are no ordinary waiters,” Amelia said

Ellie acted surprised. “Oh, that’s sad.

“Don't be sad Ms. Cabello, you'll always see us during special occasions,” Alistair said.

Ellie's forehead creased. “What do you mean by special occasion?

I cleared my throat. We saw Amelia pinched her twin brother on his side belly.

“Special occasion like this. Mr. Escarrer prepared a romantic dinner for you. This is already considered a special occasion.” Amelia tried to explain it to Ellie.

I smiled at my daughter. That was a quick thinking, I couldn't help but be proud. “You two can go now. Thank you for your service.” I said to avoid other questions from Ellie. I don’t want my proposal to be busted. Good thing Ellie didn't make it a big deal. Moments later, while we were having our dinner, the fireworks display I prepared started to fill the sky.

I smile as I look at Ellie enjoying the display. I went out of my seat and started to get down on my knees when I saw the customized firework display that says “Will you marry me?”

Ellie looks at me with a teary-eyed. “I know you already proposed to me.

But still, I wanted to do this for you. I have longplanned this proposal < since wev were in college. When

finallydecided to pursue you.’ waited for this moment to happen.

And finally, I am here in frent of you, the only woman I love, ki@eling and asking you this important question.”

“Penelope Quinn Cabello, will you marry me?” I asked with full sincerity.

Tears fell in her eyes and she nodded nonstop. “Of course, I will marry you!”

I touch her face and touch her lips. My face comes slowly at her and gave her a passionate kiss.

“Yes!!! Finally!!!

We look at our back and saw the twins shouting those words. We both laughed and call them to come to us

I'm happy that finally I will marry the woman I only love, but I’m happier for my kids. It was also their dream for their mom to have the same surname with them.

End of Flashback The wedding ceremony happened so fast. And now it's our time to give our vow to one another.

“Ulie, we've gone through so much, to the point that we thought that it’s already impossible for us to be together. But just like what other people say, if it's meant to be. it will be.” My wife started her vow.

I nodded and smile at her. You are indeed meant for me. I can't imagine myself with someone else other than you

“I want to thank you for loving and choosing me. Up until now, I can’t understand why you love me this much. Many girls are chasing after you. Some of them are more beautiful and have better credentials than me.” She added

‘I beg to disagree my love.” I can't help but whisper.

My wife just smile at me and continued with her vow. “In the past, I felt like I was not able to show to you how much I love you. But this time, I promise to love you without reservation. So you better get ready.”

People laugh at my wife’s statement. I want to tell her I am always ready for her and I can’t wait for it to happen.

“I promise to always listen to you, to trust you, and be by your side no matter what happens. I will never leave you and I will always fight for you. I love you, my husband.”

I felt the tears fall from my eyes. I love this girl so much. I went to her and kissed her forehead. And now it's my turn to share my vow.

“Indeed, my Quinn. We've gone through so much and we learned so much from all those things. I thank God for your life. I thank God that He chose me to be with you.”

“I love you so much. I can't think of anyone better than you because for me you are perfect. you are perfect for me.” I said with full sincerity.

“I promise to be stronger for our family. I promise that no matter what happens, I will never leave you. I will not let you face the world alone. I love you my wife.”

“Mother, Penelope Quinn C. Escarrer! Finally, mommy, you have the same surname as us." Amelia said while she was writing my name on her family tree assignment.

“You are that happy my princess?” I asked her. “Yes, mommy! You have no idea how happy I am right now.” Amelia said while giggling.

I chuckled. “But your dad and I have been married for two years now. Why are still acting as if your dad and I just got married?’

“Because looking at your name with Escarrer surtame feel surreal. I

really thought that it was Impossible to happen. Especially when dad movesyout of the penthouse. ©: Speaking of the penthouse, Lkind of miss that place.” Amelia sard.

I smile at her and caress her face. “We can always go there if you want. It's still ours. Or maybe when you grow up, you can live there if you want. Amelia's eyes twinkled after hearing what I said.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“But mom that was supposed to be mine!” Alistair butt in

“And why is that?” Amelia hissed

“Because I will be the one who will be managing mom's company. It's only right for me to get the penthouse.” Alistair explained.

Amelia was about to say something but Ulie cut her off.

“You two stop fighting. You are giving your mom so much stress. You know that she can't be stressed or your baby brother will be put in danger.”

I am six months pregnant. We moved out from the penthouse right after my honeymoon with Ulie in this mansion.

As per Ulie, he found the design I made during our college days. It was my dream house. While we were planning for our wedding, he secretly hired my people to build this mansion. This is his wedding gift for me

I remember this design. I thought that I lost it, but I guess not. My design was with Ulie all along. I touch my belly. Alistair was happy when he heard that they will have a little brother.

Alistair was wishing for a little brother because he is so sure that he wanted to take over CIC and not LHI. Amefta was not interested in. ~ neither.CIC or LHI. She wanted tobe a model. So Alistair thought that a baby brother i is a must. He always whispers to my belly that this baby will be the heir of LHI so fie needs to come out healthy.

Ulie and I will just shake our heads. Because for us, it doesn't matter what they want to do with their lives. They don't need to think about the family business. What matters most is their happiness.

We will always support them in whatever career they wanted to pursue in the future.

“Penny for you thought wife?” Ulie asked while he was hugging me from the back.

“I'm just happy. It's like, all my pain in the past was all worth it now. I couldn't ask for more.” I told him.

Ulie kiss my shoulder then he rested his chin on my shoulder. “Me too. Having you is more than enough. But God gave me more.”

Ulie turned me to him. He looks at me with so much love and adoration. “Thank you, my Quinn for giving me a chance. Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for planning to have a baby. Your planned baby lead us here.”
