And in this moment, I know without a doubt that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.

With them.

My family.

Ourfamily, built on love.

A family that will always stand together, no matter what.

I never imagined it would be this way.

But as I look between the two of them, feeling their hands around me, and their bodies so protective on either side of mine, I realise something.

I’ve found something I never thought I would have been able to find with them.

Love.

Or at least, what I call love.

It may not look like what I expected, but it’s real.

Theirs, and mine.

And somehow, we’ve built something pure from this chaos.

Two things, to be precise.

And perhaps, even a third now.

I have chosen this. I have chosen them.

Nikolai.

Mikhail.

Both men who are mine.

This is my happily ever after.

This is my family.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
