Before you read this epilogue, I should note that I haven't fully decided
if this is canon in the story of Alexis and Nick. There are so many
potential paths their story could take as Alexis transitions to womanhood,
but I haven't decided yet if I want to write a follow-up, particularly as
I have no personal experience in that area to draw upon. I didn't feel
happy leaving the story completely open-ended however, so this should
hopefully tie everything up to some level of satisfaction.
Writing this story has been quite a journey for me. When I first had the
idea, I never expected it to be much more than a short story, but as the
first chapters blossomed, as Alexis and Nick's personalities began to take
over and occasionally even force changes to the direction of the
storyline, I was amazed at how it grew. I'd always planned to do
NaNoWriMo one day, despite how daunting the 50,000 words in a month
sounded - with the word count of this story (written in 22 days total)
standing at over 65,000, the sense of achievement at not only writing that
much, but writing something that people have taken the time comment on how
much they enjoyed... well, I can't even begin to describe it.
Once again, I can't begin to thank enough those of you that have taken the
time to read every chapter of this story, especially for the kind comments
and reviews you have left for me - hopefully it won't be 7 years again
before I make my next FM submission!
Epilogue
"Dad! Make Mom tell the story right!"
"She is, sweetheart," said Nick, "everything she said, that's exactly what
happened."
"You've bugged us for so long for the story of how your dad and I got
together, that there was more to it than 'we met in college'," I said with
a smile, "well you were right. A lot more, in fact."
"So you were really kidnapped? Almost killed?"
I looked at our two children, adults themselves now, of course, though I
couldn't help but still think of them as our babies. Kim, gorgeously long
blonde hair, so heartbreakingly beautiful, and such a sharp mind, just a
few days gone from passing the state bar exam with flying colors,
preparing to start her career following my footsteps into environmental
law. And Nicholas Jr., who had asked the last question, shorter than his
dad, but no less handsome or strong, already enjoying the beginnings of a
successful career as a professional soccer player. Nick and I had so much
to be proud of in the two young adults sitting on the other side of the
restaurant table from us.
"I was, although I've got to admit I'm a little surprised that's the
detail you wanted confirmation on, not the whole 'I used to be a man'
thing," I teased.
"I don't know, I guess it was all a little out there, I just focused on
the thing that was most recent in the story," he replied.
"Well it's all honestly true. Kimmy, you're practically a high-flying
attorney already, I'm sure you wouldn't have any problem getting hold of
the police file in Honolulu - it's all in there."
"It's OK, Mom, we believe you, it's just... kind of a shock, you know? To
find out your parents lived such an exciting, crazy life," she replied.
"Parents are supposed to be boring and responsible, not wild and death-
defying. Also, did you really need to include all the sex?"
"Ha!" Nick laughed. "You're both old enough to know your parents do
things with each other to show their love. And besides, the walls in our
house aren't that thick - we know pretty much everything the two of you
have ever done in your rooms with various boyfriends and girlfriends." He
added with a grin. Both kids had the decency to blush at being caught out
and Kim quickly changed the subject.
"OK, there's still more to tell though, like what happened when you got
back home, when you had to face your family and friends? You alluded to
it a lot, was it as bad as you thought it would be?"
"Well the college was easy - all they needed from me was a form to show my
change of name, and another once my official gender was eventually
changed. My job at the bar... well, Steve, the manager, he wasn't sure
what to think over the phone, but once I went in to talk to him... well he
took one look and asked if I was available to work that night. He was
kind of chauvinistic, always said that horny guys bought more alcohol from
a cute barmaid than a barman, and that I definitely fit the bill. I took
it as the compliment that was intended though.
"We didn't have any real problems with our friends. There were one or two
guys who took a while trying to figure out how to act around me, but that
was about it, everyone was really accepting of me, and our relationship.
My parents? Well I don't think they've ever really understood why I made
the decision to become a girl, but Nick was right all along. They loved
and supported me regardless, and I think Dad was secretly pleased that he
had a daughter he'd eventually be able to walk down the aisle.
"Nick's parents were a little different though. They refused to
acknowledge my existence and cut Nick off for a while. Then one day, it
was right after we graduated if I remember right, completely out of the
blue, his father called me - no pleasantries, he just asked the question
'do you love my son?' Well of course I answered yes, but he hung up.
About a week later, he called again. This time it was both him and Nick's
mom, both asking all sorts of questions, giving me the third degree about
our relationship. The very next day they turned up on our doorstep, a big
basket of flowers in hand. The hugs were a little stiff and awkward at
first, but they explained to both Nick and I that they had felt so guilty
over what they had done, that they hadn't been able to understand our
circumstances. They also told us that they could see we truly loved each
other, and that our relationship was for the long haul, that they accepted
our love was real, as strong as their own, and asked us for our
forgiveness.
"Obviously the whole time since we'd come back from Hawaii, I'd been going
through the therapy my doctors had made me do, as well as continuing on my
hormone regime. At that point, it had already been a month or so since my
therapist had told me that he'd decided I was eligible for the operation.
It was going to be expensive though, so it was going to be a couple of
years before Nick and I would be able to save the money to afford it.
That day though, when your grandparents finally came to accept us, they
offered to pay for my surgery in full. Well of course we refused, we
couldn't take that kind of money from them, but they insisted. Your
granddad told me that he could see how happy Nick was with me; how it had
hit home that their beliefs were only making them lose the best thing in
their life, their son. Whatever made Nick happy made them happy, and if
that meant ensuring we had a long and happy life together, that's what it
would take for them."
"Wow, you really changed Grandma and Granddad's beliefs?" asked Nicholas
Jr.
"Well, sort of, I suppose. They're still very much devoutly Christian,
but I think they learned not to just blindly follow whatever their pastor
says, to question things that don't make sense," Nick replied. "They
definitely changed in some ways; I know we became a lot closer than we
ever had been before after that conversation. Dad even told me a long
time ago that he'd learned to read up on a politician before voting,
rather than just checking all the boxes marked Republican."
"So anyway," I continued, "they refused to take no for an answer, and
about a month later, I was happily recovering in bed while your dad waited
on me hand and foot. Once I was back on my feet again, Nick suggested we
take both our parents out for a meal, so they could properly get to know
each other. What he didn't tell me was that he was planning on using the
occasion to propose to me. It was typical Nick, cheesy but so romantic -
he pretended to accidentally drop his napkin, then suddenly he was there
next to me, on his knee, the ring that I had worn for those two weeks
while pretending to be his wife in his hand."
"Except this time it was real," Nick interjected, "The same ring, but with
a real diamond instead of cubic zirconium."
"Everyone was shocked and so happy for us... well, actually my dad wasn't
shocked - he told me later that Nick had called him a few weeks before to
ask him for my hand. And, well you know the rest, we got married on that
lonely beach behind the restaurant where Nick had first told me he was
glad to be spending time with Alexis, a year to the day after our original
stop there, Kimi my maid of honor and... well, you've seen the photos, you
know how beautiful it was.
"Two years later we adopted you guys, and every day of my life I've
thanked the girl I never met, the one who gave me so much without ever
knowing who I was, who twisted my fate enough to point my life in the
direction where I gained a wonderful husband I never expected to have, and
two amazing kids who find new ways to make me proud each and every day.
The girl whose memory I try to honor every day I go to work, and every
time we have this celebration, of the day her life ended and mine began."
I could feel tears slightly stinging my cheeks as we all raised our
glasses in toast. "To Alexis," we all said.
"And happy 25th anniversary Mom, Dad," Kim added.
