Epilogue
Brian's View
Tiffany and I were laying in bed facing each other.
I looked into her eyes and stroked her cheek gently.
"I love you so much baby," I softly said. She lightly
smiled at me and said, "I love you too."
"Are you happy with me?" I asked. She looked at me
shocked at my question.
"Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be?" she asked.
"I don't know, I just sometimes think that you deserve
better than all of this."
"Why would you think that? I am completely happy where
I am. I have the kids, the guys and especially you. That's all I want."
"I know that honey but I just feel that..."
"Shh," she said putting her finger to my lips. "Don't
feel that way. I'm happy OK? You gotta believe me."
I looked at her for a minute and finally said, "I
believe you."
"Good," she happily sighed.
"You ready to go to bed?" I asked pushing some hair
out of her face.
"I think I'm ready," she smiled at me.
"You seem wide awake to me," I smiled back at
her.
"Nope, I'm really really tired," she said exaggerating
a yawn.
"I can help you wake up," I slyly said wriggling my
eyebrows at her.
She giggled and said, "How are you going to be doing
that?"
"Let me see," I smiled mischievously and rolled on
top of her, straddling her hips and leaning down kissing her.
"MMM...good idea Mr. Littrell, nice strategy."
"You know it," I smiled and kissed her again. We kissed
for a few minutes and she pulled away from me.
"As much as I want to kiss and everything, I don't
feel like doing anything Bri," she said pushing me up a little. I sat there
and stuck my bottom lip out at her.
"Oh don't do that," she smiled pushing me off.
"Oh now I'm receiving abusiveness from my wife!"
"Haha, funny Brian," she said.
"You know I'm kidding."
"I know that honey, now lets get to bed," she
said.
"As you wish my dear," I said cuddling up to her.
"I love you Tiffany," I said in her ear.
"I love you too," she said back. I kissed her cheek
and closed my eyes. After years and years of fights and heart breaks Tiffany
and I are finally together and happy and I intend to keep it that way. We
have been happily married for a while now and we have hardly had any problems
since and that just makes me even happier. Tiffany and I have been through
a lot but I guess that's life for you. Our love was strong enough to hold
us through everything that has happened, it just shows you how powerful love
is and what it can do. I'm so happy that I have found Tiffany and made her
my wife and mother of my children, I guess it was just fate that put us together.
Love found it's way to me and it came to me with Tiffany and I know one thing
for sure, that love that I have for Tiffany will never leave me...ever.
Tiffany's View
I laid there in the darkness looking out the double doors with Brian's loving
arms wrapped around me listening to the soothing sound of the ocean. I thought
about all the things Brian and I have been through all these years and found
how amazing it was how our love never died down. I guess the love we have
can't be broken or changed, our love is too strong for that. We have gone
through so many things I'm surprised I even made it through, our many fights
and break ups, Nick saying he loves me, Brian and Melissa, when I left Brian
when I first found out I was pregnant with Michelle, Brian dying and coming
back to life, Darlene and I being kidnapped by my ex-boyfriend Josh, Brian's
Ex-girlfriend's Leighanne and Sarah and Nick's ex-girlfriend Mandy. Barely
any of that would probably ever happen to anybody else in this world.
I was just one lucky girl that got to take a roller coaster ride through
hell but at times that roller coaster stopped or changed courses going to
happier and more fun times like when Brian and I got together again and had
that food fight up at the cabin in Colorado or all those nights we would
fight over the remote control and half the time ending up in our bedroom,
and then I could never ever forget when he proposed to me and when we got
married or when our children were born. This roller coaster that I have been
on has hopefully come to a stop but everything that I have been through,
all the bad and good things, are and always will be part of my life. All
those experiences have shaped who I am today and who Brian or Nick or AJ
or Howie or Kevin or Darlene or Colleen are too but through everything we
have all stayed together as friends or as lovers. The love between everyone
has and will keep us together throughout our lives and we'll be prepared
to take anything else our lives throw at us.
My life, I will be honest, is not perfect and it never will be. There is
no such thing as a perfect life but I always do wish that there was a perfect
life. No one's life is perfect but it can be close to perfect like mine is
now. I mean I have great friends, wonderful kids, and a loving husband, what
else do I need? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I am the happiest I have ever
been right now in this period of my life and I want to stay this happy for
the rest of my life. I do know that I will be sad in some other points in
my life but it won't be anything that I can't handle, I mean I had to live
through my fiancee's death and had to one day see a picture of him on the
cover or People's Magazine kissing some girl that should have been me. I
do wish that I could have prevented or changed those things from happening
but there is no way that could happen, I have to live with those times in
my life but even though I want to change what has happened I don't want to
change them at all. I know it doesn't make sense, it doesn't really make
sense to me either but like I said, I would change nothing in my life. All
the bad things have shaped me to who I am and so has the good things and
if I didn't go through some of those experiences my life might be different
and I don't want that at all.
It amazes me how Brian and I have still stayed together through everything
but like I said before that love that we have is what is and has been keeping
us together. Love is a powerful thing and it's the most wonderful feeling
in the world. If I didn't have that love that Brian and I share through
everything that has happened I don't know what I would have done. Our love
has stayed strong and it will stay strong through years to come. I'm lucky
that love has found it's way to me and has stayed and from what I have learned
with my experiences with Brian is that love never goes away.
