Reclaiming Forever - Chapter 7

You're going to be my wife?

Yes, forever.

How did I get so lucky?

August was always a "Lucky" month for me. Do you realize we met 2 years ago? I knew then that you were special. You had that light in your eyes.

Lucky releases Elizabeth, feeling regret.

You were so full of guts and fire but I was too busy trying to keep your sister away from my brother to notice. Well I noticed but I never looked past them to see how wonderful you really are. If I hadn't been so…

Lucky, don't. Don't go back to blaming yourself. We both made mistakes that night but we didn't cause Tom to hurt me.

I know. I just can't believe there was a time when I didn't love you. It seems incomprehensible.

I can't believe we waited so long to say those words. I wanted to a hundred times, so did you.

I know but when we did it was perfect, we're perfect together.

I guess that means I have to be Elizabeth Spencer.

As much as I love the sound of that, you only have to be Elizabeth, that’s perfect enough for me.

I know but I want to be a Spencer, besides, in many ways I already am one.

You already said I’m as stubborn as any Spencer ever born, do I have to be stubborn about becoming one officially?

No, but I’m glad you feel that way. I know my family loves you, and LuLu will be thrilled to have a big sister

So you’re marrying me to please your family, I can think of worse things. (She teases)

Sweetie, I’m marrying you because if I don’t I’ll never be whole. Symbiotic, remember? You’re my other half.

And you’re mine. I love you so much. (She says this as she wraps her arms around his neck and he wraps his tighter around her waist.)

I love you too.

They seal their love with a kiss, one that says more than mere words ever could. They end up on the bed, as they have many times during the past week. Finally Lucky breaks the kiss and they slowly pull apart…..

I think we should get some sleep

Yeah, we have to go back to Port Charles tomorrow.

They settle back into sleeping positions, Elizabeth laying her head on his chest, their arms around each other as they have every night since they were reunited.

Do we have to?

I know, I would love to stay here too but your family needs you in Port Charles.

You’re right, I just didn’t want to give up holding you as we fall asleep.

I don’t want to give this up either but we have a lifetime of holding each other and so much more ahead of us.

With that thought and a goodnight kiss, they fall asleep and each has Dreams of Gold.
