AUTHOR’S NOTES AND DEDICATION: Ok...This will be my *last* Chance Encounters short fic...I am putting this one to bed...it saddens me but I think it’s time...Chance Encounters was the *first* fic that I have ever written and probably one of the biggest challenges I ever faced...I honestly didn’t think that I had what it took to write a fic.....period. So I was *extremely* proud of myself when I managed to bust out a 20 chapter fic that people seemed to actually like...The characters in this fic mean a lot to me too...mainly Christie because I based that character off of one of the greatest friends I have ever known in this lifetime, my sister. I have to give the *biggest* thanks in the world to her because it was Christie and Christie alone that convinced me I could do it!! She stamped into my head that if I didn’t at least try then I would never know. I thank her for the late nights she spent helping me put together the first few chapters!! I love her so much and you all should love her too because if she hadn’t of hounded me I would have NEVER gotten passed the first chapter and I also want to thank Jenn because besides Christie she was the first one to ever read my chapters and her guidance and friendship helped me get through the bumps. Jenn you are truly an *exceptional* woman. I want to dedicate this *final* part in the saga of *Marshall and Kamryn* to *EVERYONE* who ever showed me love!! You all were so wonderful to me and I absolutely can not put into words how touched and giggly I got every single time I read feedback...you all are the reason that I chose to finish and the reason that I continue to write...So THANK YOU...I hope you enjoy the end....

Marshall stood over Kamryn...gazing down at her peacefully sleeping form. He still felt the jolts of shock run through his body every time he looked at her. Time had not diminished her power over him or the love that always managed to leave him in awe. How *right* she looked in his bed. How *well* she fit in his arms, in his life. She stirred and her soulful green eyes fluttered open and stared up at him.
“Hey” she yawned reaching up to grab a handful of his shirt and yanking him down. He landed softly on top of her “morning” she whispered kissing him softly. As his lips settled over hers and the familiar weight of his body on hers set in, her heart settled. She basked in the familiar feel of his tongue invading her mouth to do battle with hers.
“I Love You” he whispered as they broke the kiss and he rubbed his lips softly over hers..sending sparks coursing through her body. He reached over and plucked a red rose from the night stand. Her eyes shuttered closed as he grazed the delicate bud over her smooth skin. Starting at the line of her scalp...moving down over her closed lids...her cute little nose...her sexy lips...her softly sculpted cheekbones...trailing along her jaw line. She shivered and moaned as the soft petals skimmed her skin. Heating her flesh. The soft bud continued it’s journey over her collar bone...down her chest...across her hardened nipples...skimming her shapely hips...caressing her creamy thighs. The erotic sensation of the soft petals left her skin tingling in their wake. It was too much. Not enough. Her skin was on fire. Desire bloomed causing an intense throbbing between her legs. She needed to feel him inside of her. Needed to become one. To join..heart..mind..body..soul..
“I need you” she whispered “I want you...I love you”
“You have me” he breathed heavily pushing his boxers over his hips and settling between her thighs. Slowly pushing the tip of his manhood into the heaven of her body “Forever Kamryn...Forever.” He thrust to the hilt and stilled as that agonizingly sweet power she had over him sizzled through his body. He began thrusting in and out of her heavenly body. Steeping himself, losing himself in the magic of the most precious gift he had ever been given, his wife. He felt her body tense and thrum underneath his and he gave himself over to the power, the magic, that radiated between them. His body tensed and they came together. Clutching onto one another. Never letting go. He dropped, leaning his head against hers. “Happy Anniversary” he whispered brushing soft kisses across her face.
She smiled and encircled him in her arms. As they laid snuggled together on this day, their tenth anniversary, his mind traveled back...*through the years*
** I can’t remember when you weren’t there
When I didn’t care for anyone but you
I swear we’ve been through everything there is
Can’t imagine anything we’ve missed
Can’t imagine anything the two of us can’t do **
~ FLASHBACK ~
Hair the color of spun silk....eyes the color of emeralds...curves so symmetrically sound it would knock the world off it’s axis and she was coming his way...The music was blaring all around him but he didn’t hear it anymore...he was oblivious to the action going on around him, the sound blaring through the hot, over packed Miami club...all he saw was her....
~*~
The wind whipping all around them causing her golden locks to flutter around his face...the soft sand underneath his feet...the ocean mist spraying their bodies as he thrusts in and out of her body. The static electricity pulling his body deeper into hers...melding them together. The choppy breaths and tripping hearts reverberating through his ears as his body lost it’s fight and he came bathing her insides with his seed...
~*~
The *utter* joy alighting his body as he held her letter in his trembling fingers...she’s having my baby...our baby...his heart tripped madly of it’s own accord...they created a baby...a life...to mold and shape....together...
~*~
Slamming doors....harsh words...angry fists....he needs *her*...he needs *their* baby more than he needs to breathe...he begs using cowardice to cover his *true* feelings...to cover his *love*...
~*~
Stark terror...raging agony as she fights for her life...for their baby’s life...he can’t live without her...he can’t lose her...he needs her to exist...love so strong and so powerful soars through the air as the first lusty cry of their child, their angel, rings through the room and echoes through their ears...
~*~
Tears pool in his crystal blue eyes as she slowly walks the aisle toward him....a goddess in her own right...the most beautiful creature created by God’s magical hands...trembling hands grasp as the minister speaks words of love, words of devotion...gazing eyes clouded with love, longing, passion, trust...soft lips embrace and hearts swell as a kiss seals their *fate*....
** Through the years, you’ve never let me down
You’ve turned my life around, the sweetest days I’ve found
I’ve found with you...Through the years
I’ve never been afraid, I’ve loved the life we’ve made
And I’m so glad I’ve stayed, right here with you
Through the years **

He yells in fury. Picking up a vase and flinging it across the room. “How dare he?” he paces back and forth across the room broken shards of glass digging into the soles of his shoes.
“I’m sorry baby” she whispers grabbing his arm to stop the pacing. “I’m so sorry”
He looks at her and his battered nerves and bruised feelings ease. “Why?’” he asks brokenly “why?”
“I don’t know baby” she whispers reaching for him and enveloping him in her strong arms “I just don’t know?”
“Haven’t I done everything right?” he asks his voice strained with emotion. With hurt.
“Yes” she whispers sinking to the floor with him. Her heart breaking for him as he fights to understand why no matter what he does people still try to break him.
“I only wanted to help people” he pleads with her to understand “to give someone the chances that I had to fight so hard for.”
“I know baby” she whispers running her fingers through his platinum hair “I know...”
“I love you” he whispers. The tears he’s been fighting finally breaking free. He feels raw and used. Exploited and it hurts. He has to be tough. His pride and his status demand it but not here. Not with her. With her he can be real. With her he can be what he is. Human. “I love you so very much.”.....
** I can’t remember what I used to do
Who I trusted whom, I listened to before
I swear you’ve taught me everything I know
Can’t imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more **

She pants and bares down for the next push. He grasps her hand and hangs on while she squeezes hard through her next contraction. She looks so beautiful. Flushed from the pain of her contractions but glowing from the pleasure of giving birth to their child. Another contraction hits and she resumes pushing. She pushes with all the strength she holds in her remarkable body and their *daughter* enters the world voicing her displeasure. Tears fall and mingle together as he pulls her into the circle of his arms. The nurse places their daughter in her arms and his heart bursts open with love and pride as he looks at the beauty before him.
“Hope” he whispers as he rubs his daughters hand and gazes at his wife “all I ever had in my life was hope. Hope for the future. Hope for a life...just hope and I’ve found all I’ve ever hoped for with you.”
** Through the years, through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had, I’ve always been so glad
To be with you...Through the years
It’s better everyday, you’ve kissed my tears away
As long as it’s ok, I’ll stay with you
Through the years **

“Hope” Kamryn laughed as their baby girl tried to toddle on shaky legs “come to mommy baby.”
“That’s it sweetheart” Marshall smiled at his little angel. “Come here.”
“DDAADD” Hailie yelled excitedly “look....LOOK...she’s trying to walk.”
Hunter and Little M stood back and watched wide eyed as Hope stumbled across the room.
“Mom” Hunter smiled “she’s doing it...she’s walking”
They all stood together...a *family* as Hope took her first steps and launched herself into Kamryn’s arms.

“I’m scared” Hailie whispered to Kamryn throwing herself into Kamryn’s arms.
“What’s a matter Hai?” Kamryn asked concerned.
“Dylan wants to have sex.” Hailie said with fat alligator tears running down her purely innocent face.
“And what do you want?” Kamryn asked running her fingers through Hailie’s gorgeous hair.
Hailie had grown into a *beautiful* young woman and Kamryn’s heart swelled with pride every time she looked at her.
“I don’t know” Hailie whimpered “I’m only 16 but I love him.”
“Do you love him enough to have sex with him Hai?” Kamryn whispered into Hailie’s hair “to give him the most precious gift a woman can give?”
“I don’t know?” Hailie cried confused “but if I don’t I’ll lose him.”
“Why?” Kamryn asked pulling Hailie back to look in her eyes “why do you think you’ll lose him?”
“B-b-e-e-c-cause he said I if I don’t do it that means I don’t love him” Hailie stuttered her tears tracking down her innocent face.
“Oh baby” Kamryn said pulling Hailie against her chest “that isn’t true and if he *truly* loved you then he wouldn’t pressure you to do something you aren’t ready to do.”
“I love him” Hailie said through her sobs.
“I know you do baby” Kamryn crooned “but you can’t give up such a precious part of yourself if your not ready and if he leaves you because of that Hai then he didn’t deserve you in the first place.”
Kamryn sat rocking Hailie for an eternity while Marshall stood outside and listened to his
baby girl sob. He wanted to kill Dylan for hurting her. For trying to manipulate her. He heard Hailie get up and he stepped back into the shadows until he saw her walk down the hall and go into her room. He stepped out of the shadows and into his room. Kamryn turned around when she heard him enter and smiled.
He walked over and dropped to his knees in front of her leaning his head against her stomach “Thank you” he whispered “thank you for everything”...
** Through the years, when everything went wrong
Together we were strong, I know that I belonged
Right here with you...Through the years
I never had a doubt, we’d always work things out
I’ve learned what loves about, by loving you
Through the years **
~ FLASHBACK ~
It was a horrific scene of twisted metal and flashing lights. Christie stood trembling on the side of the road. “It can’t be him” she stated with conviction “It can’t be...”
They continued watching the scene unfold as someone was lifted from the mass of twisted metal. The paramedics immediately went to work on him and Christie couldn’t take it anymore she had to know...she reached the ambulance and her world shattered as she saw him. They fought to save him. Proof. Her light. Her life.
“NNNNOOOOO” she screamed dropping to her knees on the side of the muddy road tears running down her face. Fear choking her. Cutting off her air “God Please NO”
Marshall had taken off after her and he dropped to his knees in front of her gathering her in his arms “It’ll be ok baby” he whispered to Christie stroking her hair. Rocking her back and forth on the muddy ground “I promise he’ll be ok...he has to be.”
His heart was tied in knots as he looked over Christie’s head at the paramedics scrambling to save his *best* friend.
“Oh God Marshall I can’t lose him...I can’t” she begged squeezing him tighter “I can’t”
“You won’t” Marshall cried with her “WE WON’T”
Kamryn stood back and watched the two most important people in her life comfort each other and somehow, in her heart, she knew that everything was going to be all right.
They fought hard to save Proof and nearly lost him too many times to count but he made it. They took turns sitting vigil by his bedside day and night. Praying that he would wake up. That he would come back to them.
Kamryn was by his bedside when his eyes fluttered open “Christie” he whispered and Kamryn’s head shot up. She was out the door like a bolt of lightning and as the doctor’s stood back checking Proof she called Christie.
Proof was doing well and the doctor’s said that they could all go in and see him. Marshall and Kamryn stood back wrapped in each other’s arms as Christie and Proof held on to each other. Afraid to let go.
“Do you know what I would do if I lost you?” Marshall whispered in her ear “I’d die...without you Kamryn, I’d die.”
** Through the years, you’ve never let me down
You’ve turned my life around, the sweetest days I’ve found
I’ve found with you...Through the years
It’s better everyday, you’ve kissed my tears away
As long as it’s ok, I’ll stay with you
Through the years **
The knock at the door snapped Marshall’s mind back and he scrambled to get into his boxers while Kamryn hastily tied her robe around her waist.
“Come in” Kamryn yelled.
“God...don’t you two ever get enough?” Christie asked as she strutted in followed by Proof and the rest of *their* family “like little rabbits.” she rolled her eyes.
“Bite me” Marshall said flipping her off. “You’re just jealous cause your man can’t get it up anymore”
“Hey” Proof frowned as Christie smacked Marshall across the side of the head.
“Awwww it’s good to know that some things never change” Kamryn smiled as Marshall sat pouting......
He smiled as he looked around. He had his family and that’s all he needed...
