Epilogue
Chloe
Six Years Later
“I think I’m going to be sick.” I groaned as I stood backstage with Amber and Logan.
“Just take a deep breath, it’ll be fine. He’s going to flip!” Amber squealed as she hugged me.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself as I watched Drake, no more than ten feet away, perform to a crowd of thousands. After I finished my classes my sophomore year of college, I had moved out to California to be with Drake. Since then, we had only been back to West Virginia a few times and tonight was one of them. Drake was playing to a sold out crowd right in his hometown - Morgantown.
I decided that here was the perfect place to clue him in on a little secret I had been keeping from him. It only seemed fitting to do so in the place where it had all started, where our life together began.
“He’s getting ready to start the next song, are you ready?” Amber asked.
“No, but I already made the sign so I can’t turn back now.” I said as I grabbed my sign from behind the curtain and clutched it to my chest.
“Right, because the time and effort you put into it is too much to waste.” She teased.
“Bite me.” I grumbled as I took another deep breath and raised the sign above my head.
I stood there, feeling like an idiot, as I waited for Drake to look my way. Finally, half way through the song, he looked over at me. He smiled as he glanced at the sign I was holding and then looked away. I waited for it to register, and ten seconds later it clicked.
Drake stopped mid-song and turned to look at me again. “What?” He bellowed into the microphone.
The band stopped playing and turned to face me as the coliseum went dead silent. Before I realized what he was doing, Drake walked across the stage and stopped in front of me.
“Seriously?” He asked.
“Seriously.” I said as I grinned.
He grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder as he walked back onto the stage.
“Put me down Drake Allen!” I shrieked.
“Sorry for the interruption guys, but it seems I have an announcement to make.” Drake’s voice boomed from the speakers.
“Oh no.” I groaned as he sat me on my feet.
“I’m sure you all know her by now, but in case you don’t, this is my lovely wife Chloe.”
I blushed as a few members of the crowd whistled at me.
“Alright, back off. She’s taken and she has just informed me that I’m going to be a dad. Now, I don’t know about the rest of you, but I think that’s pretty f*cking cool!”
The crowd went wild as Drake pulled me close and kissed me in front of thousands of people.
“I’m going to kill you for this. I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life.” I cried as I felt my face warm.
While Drake was used to being the center of attention, I tried to hide from the media and fans as much as possible.
He laughed as he kissed me again. “I’m so happy baby; you’re going to make a great mom.”
“I think you’re going to make a pretty amazing dad yourself. Now go sing before the natives get restless. We can talk about this later.”
He laughed as he released me and turned back to the crowd. “Alright, are you guys ready to tear down this f*cking place?” He screamed.
The crowd roared as I ran off stage and into Amber’s arms.
“That was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.” Logan said as he howled with laughter.
“Shut up or I’ll throw you out there!” I said.
Amber kept her arms around me as Logan wrapped both of us in a hug. There was nothing like having the three, now four, most important people in my life all together at once.
And I had to admit as I watched Drake mesmerize the crowd, life was pretty good. I had two of the best friends in the world, an amazing husband who loved me more than I deserved, and a tiny little bundle of joy on the way. What else could a girl ask for?
