As It Should Be....

The night started out as any other, except we were on the island and just playing around. I love those moments with Dusk. The moments he's free and enjoys himself. That's the vampire I've loved forever.

We swam and walked the moonlit beach as we did so long ago. I could feel the stress of the wedding plans slipping away as he held me. His laughter filled my soul with peace, as it always does. It was when we were laying on the beach that the idea hit me. We should just run off and get married.

I brought it up, thinking he'd never go for it. I mean I'd been engrossed in wedding details since the moment he asked. But when he looked up at me and asked if it would make it all easier on me, I knew he wanted it as much as I did. So when he agreed I quickly took advantage of it before he changed his mind.

Before we knew it we were in Vegas and thinking we should take the night to make sure it was what we wanted to do. That was until he saw how sad I was. It was then that he showed me once more just how much he loves me.

The ceremony was short, sweet and to the point. With a Bubba look alike officiating no less. Chase, GissyBeth and Jai all found this hilarious. To be honest I thought it was a riot myself. But it was perfect for us.

He doesn't always come across as playful, but the moments alone that he shows that side of himself to me are special. Every time I feel as if I'm seeing straight into his soul. Draven is the sweetest, most caring soul I've ever known. He has never changed.

When he laughs, I find joy in life. When he smiles, I find happiness. When he holds me, I find peace. He is my best friend, my lover and now my husband. He has always been my forever.

Our forever is now. Every second of every night is a new beginning in our undeaths. It's been a long, strange journey to get here. A journey that no matter how far it took us apart always brought us back together. No matter what happens from this point on, we are one. As we have always been, as we always shall be. Our souls are joined by love. A love so deep that it has spanned countless lifetimes and countless endings.

Here we stand, Draven and Sun, as one. As it should be.

Sunshine.
