A/N: The last chapter is here! First, I would like to thank everyone who reviewed my story. I also want to give a special shoutout to Cynthia Erivo (Minty/Harriet) & Joe Alwyn (Gideon) for their amazing portrayals and onscreen chemistry. I wish they had shared more scenes in the film and hope they do another project together in the future! :) Enjoy the final chapter!

Gideon made his way back to the raft and immediately spotted Minty waiting for him. He wrapped his arms around her in a warm embrace and kissed her on the forehead.

"Are ya okay?" Harriet couldn't help but ask once the pair parted.

"Momma ain't gonna be uh problem for us anymore."

"I'm sorry about yer family."

"Don't be 'cause I'm not. She just uh spiteful devil in uh dress. My brothers won't be any better when they get older. Yer the only family I need."

"Master Gideon?" Rachel stepped off the raft, surprised to find her former master with their family. "Are ya - ?"

"T'is fine," the abolitionist stopped her sister before she could ask the obvious question. "He wit us."

"What do ya mean, Minty?"

Harriet laced her fingers with Gideon's. "We got married two weeks ago. We man and wife now."

"What?" Ben Ross cried out in shock.

"I mighta forgotten to mention that Minty's bringin' uh white boy home wit her," Rit grinned sheepishly.

"I love yer daughter wit all my heart, sir," the blond confessed. "I know my word may not mean much to ya right now, but I promise I will provide for her and honor her until my dyin' day."

"He helped me rescue Mama," Harriet added.

"I believe ya, young man," Ben assured everyone, clasping hands with Gideon. "I can see it in yer eyes. The Lord has touched ya, hasn't He?"

"Yes, sir. Bein' on the road all those weeks when I was lookin' for Minty, I saw things I couldn't unsee. How cruel the world is down here."

"Uh war is comin'," the abolitionist exhorted. "The North is gonna help change our peoples' way of livin'. We all be free soon enough."

A shirtless Gideon placed a single lit candle on the bedside table in his bedroom. The space was dark and quiet. Harriet was dressed in a light pink nightshirt, staring outside their large window. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, smiling as she leaned into his well-toned body.

"What are ya thinkin' about?" the blond whispered in her ear.

"The Lord, and how grateful I am for everything He done for us."

Gideon turned her around and kissed her temple affectionately. "He brought me more happiness than I could ever hope for... or deserve."

"Ya deserve everything the Lord has to offer ya."

"The only thing I ever wanted was ya, Minty. I knew it even when we were kids. Every time I saw yer face, the whole world disappeared and all I saw was ya."

"I saw ya, too. I was drawn to ya... and I never understood why. I just knew we had uh connection... uh bond that so was deep, it needed no words."

Touched, Gideon brought Harriet into his arms and kissed her softly. Two, three, four times before she took him by the hands and led him over to their bed. Grabbing the hem of her nightshirt, she threw it over her head and discarded it to the floor, allowing him to rake in her nude body with lustful eyes. Following suit, he unbuttoned his pants and shoved them down to his ankles, carelessly tossing the clothes aside. Without a word, she climbed onto the bed and took in his naked form with the same desire. He got on all fours, hovering above her and buried his face in her neck, planting butterfly kisses along her collarbones and throat. His lips soon traveled down her chest, nibbling the right breast and suckling the nipple before paying equal attention to the left one. Harriet combed her fingers through his golden hair, nails scraping his scalp in pleasure from his ministrations. Gideon caressed her flat stomach and swirled his tongue around her naval. When he finally came upon her heated core, the blond kissed the smooth skin of her inner thighs, his warm breath teasing her dark thatch of curls. Pulling on his hair in frustration, she cried out his name, begging him to take her. Unable to refuse, he covered her utmost sensitive spot with his mouth. Harriet squirmed and moaned in response, pushing his head harder into her. The more her body reacted, the faster his rhythm got, until he was fully augmenting his oral pleasure. Light kisses and kind nibs turned into licking and biting, all in hopes of bringing her over the edge. In no time Harriet's back was arching off the bed, as she lost complete control from her orgasm. Then in one fluid motion, Gideon's stiff member slammed into her wet, heated core, causing him to gasp in sheer delight from the sensation. Panting and groaning, his animalistic thrusts consumed him, fulfilling his most primal needs and finishing off hers.

The blond collapsed on top of her, the pair a sweaty, breathless mess after their intense lovemaking. He pulled out and rolled onto his side a few moments later, their rapid heartbeats pounding away.

"God, I love ya..." Gideon cooed, wrapping a protective arm around Minty when she rested her head on his slick chest.

Opening her eyes for the first time since he made her come, Harriet smiled and snuggled closer to him. "I love ya too."

"What do ya wanna do next?"

"I wanna start uh family wit ya."

When his playful question received a serious reply, Gideon tilted his head downward, almost unsure he heard her correctly. "Uh family? Kids?"

"Born free," she confirmed, sitting up to look at him. "Wit parents who'll teach 'em to love someone regardless of the color of their skin."

He sat up and cupped her cheek. "Are ya sure?"

"More than anythin'. I wanna real life wit ya, Gideon Brodess."

"So do I. I want whateva will make ya happy, Harriet Tubman."

Overcome with joy, she kissed him and wrapped her arms around his strong frame, as he lowered them to the bed and made love to her again.
