AN// epilogue and then it'll all be over <3
(y/n pov)
"Yeah, but you have tea parties with y/nn more than you do with me," E said. Elle frowned. "And as your father--"
"Daddy, not fair--"
"What do you mean, not fair-- it's not fair to me--"
"Yo." Both E and Elle turned. She jumped up and down, still holding tightly to her dad's hand. "Hey, where's y/n--"
"Gray!" Elle cheered. He smiled, pushing his wet hair back a little.
"Hey pumpkin, where's your aunt?" She pointed ahead of them with the hand that was holding her little package of vegan goldfish.
"With baby!" Gray smiled and E nodded.
"We're heading back right now, dude, did you--"
"I got it," Gray practically shouted in excitement. Ethan and Elle were walking too slow for him but he made do. He reached into his pocket. "Here, it's like-- nevermind, I'll show y/n first?"
"Hi, Gray," Elle said. Gray looked down. "Tea party with me and y/nn and JJ?"
"Wow, okay, so even he gets invited?" Gray chuckled.
"What, you weren't?" Ethan rolled his eyes as Elle pushed a goldfish into her mouth, giggling. "Ha, loser--"
"I'm her dad, you'd think I would at least be invited," he mumbled. Elle skipped along, crumpling the packaging in her hands.
"Daddy so funny--"
"I'm being serious, princess--"
"You think she'll like it?" Gray asked. Ethan looked over. "You know what I don't get?" His eyebrows raised.
"You don't get a lot of things--"
"Oh, shut up," Grayson mumbled. E chuckled and Elle went back to her goldfish. She dropped one and gasped. The men looked down. She pointed at it.
"Fell!"
"Pick it up and we can throw it out, okay?" She nodded and picked it up with two fingertips. E led her back to a trash can and she reached up to drop it in, wiping her fingers on her dress. "Good job, princess."
"Uh huh."
"Like, the entire time, man," Gray began. "Why the fuck did she like you?" E's eyebrows raised.
"Who?"
"Y/N." E sighed. "I mean, look at me and look at--"
"Shut the fuck up," Ethan laughed. "I don't know, dude, I don't know because it looked like you two were meant to end up together anyway."
"So then why did destiny put us through all that bullshit-- coulda just had her like me in the first place," Gray said, shaking his head, water droplets falling to the hospital ground.
"How would I know, what do I look like to y--" but E was cut off as you came down the hall ahead of them. Gray grinned as he walked ahead and E stopped, holding tight to Elle's hand. "Princess, hold on, we'll stay here, okay?"
"Gray!" you laughed. "You're all wet-- hey--" he engulfed you in a hug and you let him. "You need to shower before you get si--" And then he cut you off with a kiss. You laughed, pulling away.
"Hi," he breathed.
"Hello-- I just saw him!" you cooed. You looked down, pulling at your blouse. "Nice, Gray, you got me all wet--"
"I have something for you," he whispered. Your eyebrows raised.
"Oh?" He nodded. "I heard-- what is it?"
"Well, you see--" he paused and you smiled. He let out a sigh.
"I have something for you too," you said. "So hurry." He smiled and ran a hand through his hair. And then he wiped it off on his sweats. You smiled, arms crossed.
"You look pretty today--"
"Gray!"
"Well, I love you," he said. You let out a small laugh and shook your head. "And, we're very good right now, you know?"
"We are?"
"You know, like before when we first got married." Your eyebrows raised. "We messed it all up."
"Well--"
"We did it all in the wrong order," he explained. He sighed and you tilted your head. "We got married and then we got to know each other and then we fell in love and then we had sex--"
"Gray!"
"--and then after that we got pregnant and then we finally went on our honeymoon and then we almost got a divorce and then we lost our baby and it's all in the wrong order." You smiled.
"That's okay," you whispered. "We're together now and that's all that matters okay?" he nodded and slipped his hand into his pocket.
"I know," he said. "But everything was messed up before too- you liked E and not me and I didn't like you like that and then I did and then you didn't like me so then I stopped liking you--"
"Gray, what are you saying?"
"Basically," he said. "Okay, now that I think about it this is stupid--"
"Grayson!"
"Well, I never proposed to you," he said softly. "You know, I never, like, got excited or anything and I never got you like a lovely ring-"
"It was lovely," you said. "And then I lost it--"
"Okay, it was nice but not like, something like, you know, sweetheart like--"
"Yeah, yeah," you said. He sighed. "So...?"
"Oh, this is so dumb," he mumbled. He got down on one knee and you laughed, head thrown back as he pulled out a small box from his pocket. You smiled as you took a step back.
A few people in the halls started cheering as you stuck your hand out. You laughed too, shaking your head as he stood and hugged you. You looked at the ring and smiled. It was so pretty-- you definitely liked it more than the last one.
"Thank you," you laughed again, to everyone who was clapping. You hugged Gray back and squeezed around his waist.
"They're already married!" Ethan shouted. You smiled into Gray's shoulder and shook your head. "Try not to lose this one, y/n."
"Daddy, stop it!" Elle mumbled, hitting his leg, You pulled away from the hug a little and leaned up to kiss him Gray.
"That was cute, thank you," you whispered. He chuckled and you kissed again. "That was better than whatever we did last time."
"I'm pretty sure I just handed it to you." You rolled your eyes and he sighed. "Now everything is perfect," he mumbled. "A little out of order but our relationship is complete."
You let one hand leave him to go behind you and you reached into your back pocket, the slim slit in your skirt that you'd been so thankful for. "Well, my surprise now," you whispered. He smiled and pulled away a little as you brought the stick up.
You watched his eyes widen as he took the test into his hands to look at. "Really?" he asked. You nodded. "For real, you're--"
"It took four tests for the second line to be that clea--" He kissed you and you grabbed the sides of his wet sweatshirt. "But I'm positive it's positive."
"Thank you," he whispered. You smiled as you pulled away. You saw Ethan and Elle walk past you from the corner of your eye and turned your attention back to Gray.
"Why are you thanking me?" you asked. He shrugged and wrapped his arms around you. You let your head lean against his chest for a moment.
"I don't know, for marrying me, being mine, carrying my baby, etcetera, etcetera." You laughed and reached up to kiss his cheek. You took his hand with a new ring on your finger and you began to walk back towards e/w's room. "You know, loving me and shit." You looked up at him.
"Of course I love you, stupid," you whispered. He chuckled.
"And I love you."
