Julius
I lay awake in the early morning hours with my beautiful love laying next to me. I sneak out and retrieve the small box from my coat pocket that I’ve brought with me. I look inside at the glistening diamond ring. I’m going to do it. Nerves be damned. When it comes time for the maid and man of honor speeches I’m going to ask her to marry me. I don’t care if it takes away a bit from Ben and Becca. I have to make her mine forever. In front of everyone.
I close the box and put it back in the jacket pocket. I lay next to her. Both of us still naked. I watch her. Memorize every curve of her face while I stroke the dark waves of her hair. Smelling her scent. Ravishing in her beauty. She suddenly makes a sour face and stirs
RosalieI’ve done so much in these past 6 months. Julius and I got married immediately after I was released from the hospital. It was a private ceremony with just us and the priest. Beyond romantic. I was able to perform for Scarpati’s induction into the Italian Symphony hall of fame.... and now..... “Push!!! Breathe!!! You’re getting close!!” The doctor yells over my screams. I squeeze Julius hand “I HATE YOU!!” I scream at me perfect husband. There was no time for the epidural so you can understand these hateful words. “I’m so sorry baby. You’re doing so great. I’m so lucky.” He kisses my head as another big contraction hits.
Julius Days have rolled into months. Visitors, flowers, the look of lost hope in everyone’s eyes starting to show. Begging me to let them cover for me so I can get out of the hospital. No way am I leaving her side. I’ve grown a beard and spend most days painting, singing, and talking to Rosalie and the baby. I have become the main caretaker for her. Bathing her, brushing her hair, dressing her. Not that I don’t trust the staff but I want to be the one to do those things for her. Today is Christmas. Rosalie’s birthday. A little over 2 months since she’s been here. She has the cutest little bump right now. After doing the math, the baby was definitely conceived on my birthday and is due sometime in June. I knew something wa
Rosalie I walked into the side kitchen to check on Becca’s wedding cake and was met with an irate screaming lady. Julius and Bens mom. “We have no ice to chill the champagne!! How janky of a wedding is this? You and Julius had better do something quick.” She demands. “It’s not a big deal. I’ll just run down the road to the store and get some.” I shrug ready to be away from her. I really really wanted to call her a few choice words but she is their mom. Sucks to be nice sometimes. I reach the four way stop. Look both ways and start to
Julius Machines beeping, bandages everywhere, my beautiful love unresponsive in a deep sleep. Our baby safe in her womb. Even through the horrible wreck she kept our baby safe. She’s so amazing. Her beautiful feet lay bare except a few gold toe rings. I reach for them. Kissing her feet, bawling crying while my tears washed them. “I’m so sorry baby. Please wake up. I can’t be without you...please get better. I love you so much.” I break down. We all do. Ben puts his hands on my shoulders. “Congratulations man. I know it’s gonna be okay brother. It has to.” Ben comforts me. Surprisingly it helps. I think everyone noti

Rosalie October 16 (Rehearsal Night)Julius and I head to the wedding rehearsal. We check into our room at the grand hotel. Ever since we made up that night we have once again been inseparable. Things are different this time though. As if we both accepted our destinies with each other. We’ve become closer, not holding back. Julius has seemed a bit nervous about the wedding but won’t let on exactly why other than “weddings make me nervous”. I don’t buy it but he can tell me on his own time.The twins and Violet are in the lobby as we get our room key. They run up to us, even huggin
