Welcome to the final chapter of this crazy life I was living in, well I have a few things I’m gonna need to tell you and different times to take you to.
Let’s start with Anthony shall we? Well after he got arrested there was this huge investigation, I got questioned near fifty different times. They had to keep going over what happened and what I saw, I knew it was just because they wanted him to pay for everything he done, so they needed to know everything that happened.
Court was the hardest thing for me though, it lasted for a few months where I’d have to sit and watch him try to defend his actions. This is the only place I won’t be taking you to as it doesn’t hold many happy memories, but I will tell you his sentence, he got three life sentences for the murders of Tammy, his mother and Nicole. He got a few more long sentences for the robbing he did, attempted murder of Adam and two counts of false imprisonments for me and Amelia. All together his sentence was way over hundred years, we can all say he’s never getting out. I did feel bad at first for him but than I realised, no one made him do what he did, he did it because he’s an evil person who shouldn’t be aloud out in the public. No one has to worry about him hurting anyone anymore, he’s where he belongs.
Now next up Amelia, as you all know her parents died in that horrible car accident. Which meant she had no one, well over the ten months, we created this bond that would never break and I never want anyone to go through what I did. So Blake and I decided to adopt her, after nearly a year it was finalised, wanna see?
Blake and I walk out the court room hand in hand, we both send each other a look as we stood in top of the stairs. Before we could speak Amelia shouting mama and dada at the bottom of the stairs snaps us out, she was stood at the bottom holding my uncle Ray’s hand.
I run over picking her up in my arms holding her tightly, Blake walks behind me placing a kiss on her head.
“Amelia you know how I am?” He asks, I could just hear he was holding back tears, she looks at him smiling “I’m your dad” he cries, finally letting the tears out, she smiles wrapping her little arms around his neck, he picks her up holding her tightly.
“Congratulations” my uncle Ray smiles wrapping me in a hug, he had tears in his eyes too “your parents would be so proud of you” he says, while holding me tightly.
I pull away where Blake wraps his arm around me.
“You know, we have the perfect family” he smiles causing us all to laugh, he turns to look at Amelia who was still in his arms “and I can promise you, I’ll always take care of you and tell you all about your first parents, who fought for months trying to get you back, I won’t let them or you down” he cries, I wipe his tears smiling up at him, I look between us four smiles just filling my face. My family.
So yeah we were now legally Amelia’s parents, she knows all about her first parents as we call them. I intend to keep the promise I made to her first mum that day, that’s one I’m never gonna break ever.
Blake tapping me on the shoulder breaks me out of my writing thoughts, I look away from the laptop sending him a confused look.
“I was just letting you know that breakfast is ready, have you finished writing the book?” He asks, crossing his arms leaning on the wall.
“Just about, but I don’t know if people are gonna believe it, as all the events are so, well unbelievable” I say with a smile, he shakes his head taking my hand to pull me up.
“People are gonna love it, now come on and love my cooking” he smiles, pulling me out the room and away from my laptop I’ve been staring at for weeks.
He walks me out into the kitchen where Amelia was sat at table, my uncle Ray walks out from the bathroom taking his seat at the table with her.
“Mama! Me and dada spent ages making this breakfast! It’s so good!” She smiles picking her plate up to show me, uncle Ray had to push the plate up before they food fell on the table.
“Then how about you eat the food, rather than the table” he smiles, she nods happily placing her plate back down filling her mouth with food.
As I take my seat beside her the door starts to knock, i lean over to help cut her bacon when Inks voice fills the apartment.
“Sorry for being late, I’ve been stuck in early meetings” he apologises, walking in wearing his signiue black suit.
“Uncle Rod!” Amelia shouts really loudly, launching a single bean across the room “sorry mama” she says looking down at her plate, I rub her arm telling her it was okay, as ink takes his seat.
“I seen your new add on the tv the other day, you’re really doing well for yourself ink- I mean Rod” I smile, accidentally calling him the name he doesn’t like.
“I know and it’s all still thanks to you Freya, you helped me out a situation where I was able to turn the tables and make my money the right way” he smiles, taking a bite out his food.
“Well just think, if all that stuff didn’t happen we all wouldn’t be sat around this table, yeah things were hard but they led us to this moment and I really wouldn’t change a thing” I smile, looking around the table at everyone, Blake holds his glass up for a toast.
“To family” he says, we all repeat after him clicking our glasses and Amelia’s plastic cup together.
I grab my knife and fork taking the first bite out of my breakfast.
Finally having my scrambled eggs!
The End
