Forever Changed - By Jamie Gibson Page 0,51

picture of us from where we were waiting for it to dry.” I said. I held it out to him and he gasped.

“Elizabeth, this picture was taking the night of us on our date, why is it that your belly is huge?” He looked up at me and I knew exactly what he was talking about. The picture was not of just him and me, but it showed that my belly was huge and two sets of small hands could be seen through the shirt I was wearing.

“Do you think?” He asked getting excited.

“I have no idea, but we will soon find out.” I jumped in his arms and wrapped my legs around him. We danced around the yard laughing and my parents joined in. We could hear the sirens in the distance, but we didn’t stop!

In that moment I knew once more I had changed. I changed into a whole different person. My family was my life and

I had a gut feeling that our family was about to grow even bigger. My life as I knew it would be forever changed!

Oh no, wait, I said that all wrong. Let me try that again.

My life as I knew it would be forever changed, ummmm……again!

EPILOGUE

It had been two years since we had defeated the Dark Lord. We had watched our mansion go down in a blaze of glory and it forever changed our lives. Our fortune had burned with the mansion, but my brilliant father had made so much money at his gym and had moved some of the fortune out of the mansion, that we were set for life.

Hikers had found Lucas’s body about four miles downstream from the waterfall. It was bloated and swelled, but was ruled as an accident. His family was in total devastation. The town story said that he was hiking through the woods and found the waterfall. He went to look over the edge lost his footing and fell ending his life quickly. The fall broke his neck and cracked his skull. I was in the clear.

Julie came to visit quite regularly. We no longer needed her as a maid, but we kept her as a friend. She was all of our protectors.

My mother explained to me the whole witch lie. She said that when my father was beating on her, that she would stay in her room by her bed praying. She had asked Julie to help her. She knew everything before Landon and I had a chance to tell her. She played her part well.

My father did forever change for the better. He took his second chance and turned his life and his ways completely around. He never laid another angry finger on my mother. They were happy and my father was being converted into an angel. My mother did win after all.

Landon and I were married about a month after the defeat of his father. He started working with my father as a co-partner at the gym. We lived right next door to my parents. Our houses were identical and only two stories. No more mansions for us. We had a hundred acres of land to share and we made use of all of it. We lived closer to town, but we were still surrounded by woods.

As for me, my life could not be any better than this. I went from a lonely sad teenager to a very happy woman in a month. I did graduate from high school, but I never made friends with anyone from there. Landon was my best friend and he was all I wanted.

I stirred from my sleep and seen Landon standing at our bedroom window. I rolled out of bed and stood next to him. He was looking at the snow covered mountains, through the view of our window. He pulled me close and wrapped his arms around me.

Together we stood looking and I loved being in my husband’s arms.

“I love you, Elizabeth,” he gently whispered in my ear. “You know my father did me a favor of stripping my powers from me. He made me normal so that I could live the life I wanted to, with my beautiful wife who changed me.”

“I love you, too Landon and life couldn’t get any better than this.” We stood there a moment longer until we heard the screams break through the silence. The twins were awake and had been sleeping restless through the last couple of nights. Something was going to happen in the future.

We headed to
