Chapter 22- The End!
2 years later:
Alex's POV
Today's the day
Eliza and I have moved in with each other. We live in a cute apartment on Wall Street.
I woke up and felt Eliza still sleeping in my arms. I didn't want to wake her up, so I slowly uncurled myself from her body and sat up. I got out of bed and walked into the living room. Time to get everything ready!
* * *
Eliza's POV
I woke up to an empty bed. Where did Alex go?
I dragged myself out of bed, changed into sweatpants, and walked into the living room.
And walked back out and into the bedroom
To my blurry, mixed up, morning brain, it looked like a unicorn took a major shit in the room
"Ugghhh, I thought I was awaaaaake!" I groaned as I walked
All I heard were laughs. I ignored them and fell right back on the bed
Alex's POV
She thought she was still dreaming!
Ha!
And I got it all on video!
I ran into the bedroom and shook her
"Whhhaaaaaaaaat?!" she groaned again
"Time to get up!" I exclaimed
Eventually, I got her out of bed
She took one look of the living room and started laughing
"So I wasn't dreaming?" she asked me
"Nope!" I responded, popping the 'p'.
"C'mon!" I exclaimed, dragging her towards the couch and the presents. "Happy Birthday!"

Eliza's POV
Everything was perfect!
There were pale blue balloons and streamers, and presents! Lots of presents!
Soon, all our friends and family came!
I got so many presents! ALL OF THOSE PRESENTS!!!
Sorry. I just REALLY love presents

Alex's POV
My plan was in action, starting now.
I walked up to Eliza.
"Hey Liza, you wanna go to the park for a little bit?" I asked her
"Uh, sure!" she answered, and grabbed her coat. As we were walking out the front door, and gave Angie a thumbs up
I took her to Trinity park. We walked around, until I saw Angelica and Peggy.
SHOW TIME!
I exhaled and looked at Eliza
"Eliza! Look, those sticks look like they're making words!" I exclaimed, pointing to some sticks. Eliza turned in different directions trying to see what it said.
"Oh! The first one's say 'will you'!" she exclaimed, getting excited
"Oh yeah!" I exclaimed, acting surprised
"Um... this says... Murry? Morry?" she stuttered, not understanding.
"Well, how about you skip to the last word?" I asked
"Okay... well, it says 'me', and I think thats a question mark... okay, 'Will'. 'You'. 'Murry?'. 'Me?'. What the- wait... does that say..." Eliza struggled. She turned around to see me on one knee
"Elizabeth Schuyler. We have been with each other through thick and thin, hard and easy, fun and sad. You make me smile everyday. I love the way you laugh, the way you talk, the way you smile, and your beautiful personality. Ever since I saw you, I've never felt so... so...helpless. I promise you, with you as my wife, that I will protect you, care for you, and love you senceless. You are the light of my life, and I am very grateful for you in my life. So? What do you say? Elizabeth Catherine Schuyler, will you do me the honor and marry me?" I asked
She looked at me, and covered her mouth as she started crying
"Y-yes! Yes yes yes yes yes!!!" she exclaimed, and jumped into my arms. We both fell on the floor laughing, and I put the ring on her finger:
I grabbed her face and kissed her. She eagerly responded, and soon there were claps all around. Eliza sat up, laughing
"We got it!" I heard Angie yell.
We all talked and hugged and partied!
I watched as Eliza had fun with her friends, frinking and laughing
I am so thankful that I'm actually engaged with this woman

Eliza's POV
"Hey Alex? This is for you" I told my husband, and handed him the envelope
"Thanks? I wonder who this is from" he asked, and opened it. He read it, and then his eyes widened, and he looked at me. But then he smiled, wide
I gave him an uneasy smile. "So your not upset?" I asked
"Of course not! Eliza, we're having a baby!" he exclaimed, and pulled me close
I am so thankful that I'm actually married to this man
8 months later:
Alex's POV
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Eliza yelled
"Shhh... baby, it's okay..." I soothed, as she squeezed my hand tighter
"UUUUGGGGHHHHHHH! ALEXANDER IT HURTS!" she yelled
"Honey, it'll be over soon... just push!" I encouaged
She pushed with all her might, I could tell.
And soon, a high pitch cry filled the room
Everything was a blur, but soon, I had a baby in my arms.
My son
Eliza's POV
"Alex...is he okay?" I asked, breathlessly. He nooded and looked at me with tears in his eyes. He put my baby in my arms. I cradeled him.
"What do we name him?" I asked quietly
"How about... Michael?" he asked me
"Perfect. Michael Hamilton" I whispered
Soon enough, after friends and my sisters visited me, it was just me, Alex, and Michael. Then Alex bent down to cuddle us both. He started singing, and I joined along: *song above*
Eliza and Alex's POV's *Whenever it says 'I', they're both thinking it*
"You walked with me, footprints in the sand, and helped me understand where I'm going
You walked with me when I was all alone with so much unknown along the way. Then I heard you say: I promise you I'm always there when your heart is filled with sorrow and despair. I'll carry you when you need a friend. You'll find my footprints in the sand"
I see my life and just when I thought I'd lost my way, you gave me strength to carry on. That's when I heard you say: I promise you I'm always there when your heart is filled with sorrow and despair. I'll carry you when you need a friend. You'll find my footprints in the sand. When I'm weary, well I know you'll be there. And I can feel you when you say: I promise you, oh, I'm always there when your heart is filled with sadness and despair. I'll carry you when you need a friend. You'll find my footprints in the sand. I promise you I'm always there when your heart is filled with sadness and despair. I'll carry you when you need a friend. You'll find my footprints in the sand"...
Eliza's POV
And that was when he whispered in my ear:
"I'll always be here for you and my family, even when the going gets tough "
