You rushed through the airport and ignore all of the odd expressions everyone around you were giving. You had your mind set on one thing and one thing only. You gripped your luggage tight and hurriedly search for the exit, finally spotting it. Before you’re outside, the loud sound of thunder booms everywhere around you. The sky was starting to form large, angry and dark clouds. You finally made it outside and you could practically already smell the rain. You weren’t going to let that bother you. You look around frantically and spot an empty taxi parked just down the sidewalk. You zoom towards it as the driver spins around and spots you, a grin on his face.
“Bonjour!” he says sweetly.
You smile to him and try to catch your breath.
“Bonjour! I apologize, I don’t speak much French.”
The man smiles and bows his head a bit, understanding.
“No worries, madame. Would you like a ride?”
All you can do is smile as you jump inside and quickly tell the kind man where exactly to go.
***
On your way back to the hotel, you find yourself and the man talking about your situation. You explain everything as he sympathizes with you. His wife passed away too.
“Sadness will always be there.” he tells you. “I never thought I would love again, but it’s what my Bella would have wanted. You feel this sense of abandonment. Like you’re forgetting who they are and what they were to you. Like their existence will become one with the shadows, but it won’t. You’ll always have them in your heart and they’ll live on forever.”
You couldn’t help but shed a few tears as he spoke. It was so fluid and beautiful. It was exactly what you needed to hear. Who knew the kindness of a stranger is exactly what you needed at this moment.
“Thank you, Louis.” you say, sniffling a bit. “You have no idea how much I needed that.”
Louis looks into the rear view mirror and smiles.
“It’s something I wish someone had told me when my Bella left. It’s the truth. You don’t have to thank me, madame. Let’s just get you to where you need to be.”
And he kept his promise. He was driving like a madman as he zoomed past cars and hurried. You started noticing familiar sights and knew you were close. Suddenly, seeing everything became difficult when an angry and sudden storm hits. Rain is pouring down in buckets as Louis slows his speed. You can barely see anything up ahead. You were antsy and impatient, worried you wouldn’t make it on time. Worried Roger would be gone.
“Ah, he we are.” says Louis.
You lean over and look out your window, spotting your hotel. Your heart is racing and your stomach is flip flopping. You’re so nervous. Just as you’re grabbing your purse, Louis speaks.
“Madame, is that him? The man you were telling me about?” he asks fast.
You look up and lean forward, suddenly spotting Roger. He’s still here! He has his luggage and is speaking to another taxi driver. The trunk is open as he’s placing his items inside. He’s about to leave. You gasp as the trunk closes and Roger goes to open the back door.
“Go!” says Louis to you.
You jump and fling the door open. You get out of the car and the rain is soaking you. You squint your eyes and move the damp hair from your face. Roger’s about to get in the car as you yell out to him.
“Roger!”
He doesn’t hear you.
You begin running and yelling again.
“Roger!”
Just as he’s about to get inside, he stops. He slowly turns his head towards you and freezes. You stop running and just stare at him. He has a confused look on his face as he takes a step forward.
“Y/n?” he calls out.
You smile at the sound of his voice as you walk towards him. You both were drenched.
“I’m so sorry!” you shout against the loud rain. “I’m so sorry for everything! For how I acted, for leaving! I regret it all!”
His face falls slightly.
“You regret it all?” he asks.
You smile and shake your head as you walk up to him.
“I don’t regret you.”
His face slowly turns into a sweet smile as he fills the empty space in front of you. You both are looking at each other as he leans his hand forward and moves some hair from your face.
“Are you sure?” he asks.
You nod your head and gently place your hand over his.
“I’m sure. Will you forgive me?”
“Will you forgive me?” he asks, his face going sad.
“A million times over.”
He smiles and leans in slightly.
“Then me too.”
And with that, he leans in all the way and places his lips on yours. His hands cup your face as the rain pours over you. He leans away and kisses your forehead. You wrap your arms around him and hug him tightly, not wanting to let go. You turn your head against his chest and open your eyes. Across the street, you spot John. He’s standing there with rain all around him, a smile on his face. He nods his head to you, giving you his blessing. Tears well up in your eyes as you smile back to him. Suddenly, he drifts away and disappears completely. Your John was officially gone and you have finally accepted it.
Roger pulls you even closer to him and back to reality. You lean away and look up at him, admiring every feature on his face. His arms are around your waist and for the first time in a long time, you finally feel at home.

“Look at him.” you whisper.
You’re sat in your hospital bed as your tiny baby boy is fast asleep in your arms. Roger’s sat beside you as you both stare down and admire him.
“I can’t believe he’s ours.” he whispered back, making you chuckle.
“Good team work.” you tease, making him lean in and gently kiss you.
There’s a quiet knock at your door as it slowly opens up. A nurse tip toes in and smiles widely at you as she walks up and looks to the baby. Her heart melts at his little face.
“How precious.” she says.
You all agree and you can’t stop smiling.
“So, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, have you came up with a name for him yet?” she asks.
You and Roger looked at each other and smile sweetly, giving each other a knowing look.
“We have.” you say looking back down at your baby. “John. John Meddows Taylor.”
The nurse smiles and ‘awwws’.
“What a lovely name.” she says.
You and Roger smile as you nod your head. You gently run your finger over your babies brow, causing him to squirm slightly and smile, making your heart melt.
“Named after a lovely man.” you whisper, your eyes never leaving your baby.
***
It was late in the night and your baby had just fallen asleep. You place him in his tiny bed and make yourself comfortable in the hospital bed. You pull the blankets over you as Roger walks up with something behind his back. You smile at him and then squint your eyes, knowing he’s hiding something.
“What do ya got there?” you ask curiously.
Roger says nothing as he slowly moves his hands in front of himself and reveals an envelope. Your heart drops and you know.
“It’s for you.” he says, placing it on your lap. “I’m gonna walk around for a bit, give you some time to read it.”
He kisses you on the head and then turns around and walks out. You’re left with a letter on your lap as John’s handwriting is looking up at you. You’re nervous. You’re heart's racing as you gently open it and slide out the paper. You begin reading.
My Darling Y/n,
If things had gone the way I planned, you’re with Roger. You have no idea how happy I am with the idea of you two loving and protecting each other. It makes my heart happy, please believe me. Also, thank you. Thank you for opening your heart and loving again like I had asked of you. You deserve all of the happiness in the world. If I could be the one to give it you, I would. Believe me.
Please know that you’re everything I had always wanted. You’re the greatest gift in my life. It was an honor being in love with you. You made my life better in so many ways and I thank you for that. Loving you was the greatest gift I could have ever gotten and I see myself as the luckiest man in the world, just like Roger is now.
I told Roger to give you this note when you had kids. Something inside of me said it would be with him. I just know. I need you to know how lucky that baby (or babies) are to have you as a mother. You make every life worth living. You will be an amazing mother and I just know it. I’m just sorry I was never able to give you a family like we had so desperately wanted. You have no idea how embarrassingly happy I am for you. For you both.
I must go, my love. This is my last letter to you, for I’m getting more and more tired every day. Thank you for being my wife and best friend. Thank you for choosing me to love. I love you beyond words.
Goodbye For Now,
Your John
P.S. You’re the love of my life - forever and always, no matter what
You were smiling as you finish the letter. Tears streamed down your face and for the first time in a long time, they weren’t sad. You couldn’t have been more happier in that moment. You were choked up as you run your fingers along John’s handwriting, gasping slightly, trying to calm down. You smiled down at the letter as you nod.
“Mine too, John.” you whisper. “Mine too.”
