Epilogue
Song recommendation . Perfect by Ed Sheeran .
Two years later .
The little girl had her curly black hair tied into a ponytail with a few strands curling around her beautiful, delicate face .
She bounced up and down in the kitchen besides the tall counter . She tried to reach you to the cakes that placed on them but her short tiny hands couldn't reach there .
She tried again and groaned .
"Clarisse . !! What are you doing there? " Emily walked slowly towards the girl whose eyes were filled with mischief and a tiny of fear .
She stood behind the girl and folded her arms around her chest , atop her huge stomach . She was nine months pregnant and they were expecting the baby soon
Micheal in his overprotectiveness wanted Emily to stay in bed all day everyday. Emily would gladly give up one of her ass than to stay glued home just because she was pregnant
"Aunt Emily . I was just trying to have some cake . " She looked up at her aunt and smiled
But Emily did not smile back
Clarisse is Mera's and Gabriel daughter. She had taken after her mother with her round pink lips and her olive green eyes
"You have told one adult to help you get it. What if you hurt yourself in the process??. " She gently chastised .
"I'm sorry Aunt Emily . " She looked down at her feet .
"It's okay dearie . Now run along and go and play with your brothers . " She ruffled the girl's head and smiled .
She scurried off to meet her brothers .
Zeke and Matthew were in the garden , half playing and half helping with the settings.
Mera came in after Clarisse had left , she padded over to Emily and smiled .
"I thought I might find you here . Micheal was starting to get worried of course . Thinking you might doing some hard and strenuous job as he called it . " Mera laughed at the end
"Where's Hana?? . " She gazed around looking for her blond friend who was nursing an eight months old baby .
"She's outside with Nancy . Both her discussing motherhood and their similarities I guess?? . " Mera replied unsure .
Emily remembered , three years ago when she had gotten back with Micheal and told him the truth about her disappearance .
He had been furious and wanted to kill Nancy straight off but Emily had another thing in mind . She forgave Nancy as a way of enacting her revenge in a more lastful way .
She'll be filled with regret and guilts for so many years before she overcame them . In her mind , this was better than trying to do what exactly Nancy had dine back then .
Alicia had been furious , sure enough everyone has been . They partially blamed Emily but mostly Nancy .
Emily couldn't quite forget the look of shock that was stricten on Micheal's face that day .
"What about Zeke ? Did you ... " He trailed off not wanting to dwell in painful imagination .
Had Emily remarried?
" Zeke is your son . " She spoke lowly but he heard her nonetheless.
He was shocked , quite alright but he wasn't as shocked as Emily would have expected him to be .
It was as if he already knew the but he just needed to confirm .
"Zeke is your son . Your biological son. You remembered that day ? That faithful night when you were drugged? It was my first time . But I thought nothing of it . I didn't quite remember it for some time until ." She looked up at him to see the intrigued expression on his face .
" Until after two months . I need something was wrong somewhere but I just don't know what went wrong . I haven't gotten my period since the last two months but I thought nothing of it . Sometimes my period isn't always regular . But in the end , Mariah insisted on me buying a pregnancy test kit . "
"Why ? I asked her . I need I couldn't be pregnant , I was sure but I needed to be more sure . So I took the test and it came out positive . "
Micheal had broke down in tears all over again , muttering on how he had failed . He wasn't there when Emily needed him the most . He was filled with self loathing and regret
But thank God Emily has finally been able to convince him .
In the end , Nancy regretted her action and asked for her forgiveness which she did .
EME corporation was later merged with Gerald's communication and Emily came back to Newland .

"Get over here . " Alicia ran after Zeke who was giggling at his grandmother's attempt at catching him . Cake was smeared on both of their faces and bits of bread crumbs stuck to Alicia's now greying hair .
"She still has that subtle air of elegance around her . " Emily whispered to herself
She saw Micheal approaching her and a giggle made it way out of her throat . She knew what was coming next .
Another episode of Micheal nagging her to no end about why she shouldn't be walking in the sun light .
They were currently in the garden and Mera was working with Nancy in the arrangements of their little picnic .
Nancy's baby was with her husband James . James was Micheal's secretary back in the day .
It was funny how fate played them again . And they all find themselves in a messy but beautiful knots of family ties
"Baby ! What are you doing here ?? You should be resting . " Micheal chastised softly . He wasn't even chastising because who scold with kisses and petting??
That was Micheal's way of scolding her .
"But I've been resting since morning . " She pouted her lips like a baby .
"Everything is ready !!! . "Mera called out to them . Emily giggled .
It was time !
They all gathered on the soft grass that was green and shiny in the sunlight . The afternoon sun had been residing leaving only the orange hue .
They all sat down and rubbed their palms in anticipation . They were different sorts of foods arrangements suitable for both children and adults palate
Suddenly Emily felt a powerful kick in her stomach . She groaned and shifted uncontrollably .
A contracting pain gripped her and she screamed with her eyes bulged out .
"What is it ?? . " Micheal quickly moved over to Emily's side with panic
"I think ....I think . The baby's is coming . " She managed to say amidst pant . Her water just broke !!
Someone get the car ! She screamed .
Everyone was scrambling Helter skelter . The picnic long forgotten .
**
Emily stared at the bundle in her hand . She gazed down at the baby affectionately .
It was a girl .
"Thank you. Thank you for bringing our baby to earth . I love you . " Micheal leaned over and kissed Emily on the forehead and the baby too.
The baby has an hazel eyes, and the little curly hair on her head looked cute .
Yes the nine months was worth it ! It was always worth it .
The door opened revealing everyone .
Mera and Hana hurried towards Emily , showering praises on her and the baby .
Nancy too .
"Congratulation man . " Gabriel and Samuel said simultaneously .
"Congratulation Micheal . " James also greeted .
"Where are the children?? . " Emily asked weakly but happily . Her eyes were getting droopy and drowsy .
"They're with Alicia at home . ".
Emily didn't hear the last part but she closed her eyes and sighed contendedly .
This is what happiness feels like .
She was glad that they had accepted the offer that seemed so ridiculous and unreasonable then .
