Hey everyone! Sorry about the whole hiatus... I was working on NaNoWriMo and some other personal issues occurred... Anyway, this is the final chapter of How I Met Your Mother. It's inspired Sofa by Ed Sheeran. (I am a HUGE Ed Sheeran fan. Words cannot describe how much I love his music.) Anyway, it has been a honor being the author of this story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Sofa, Victorious, The Exorcist, and How I Met Your Mother.
She's reinventing loving me
When we're resembling cutlery on the sofa
It must have been about 5:01
Like my blue ripped jeans
And my eyes are closed
And I'm way too tired
Hoody still smells of the beach bonfire
On the sofa, where we lay
I wanna stay inside all day
And it's cold outside, again…
So Jade and I are a happily married couple now and all it took was one weekend. As soon as I was done telling Luke and Cece the story of how we met, I walked downstairs to find Jade on the couch watching The Exorcist. Yes, a movie we'll never get tired of. She gave me a smile when she noticed me lingering and moved over to give me room on the sofa.
We watched the movie together, grateful for everything we have. Jade must have fallen asleep at some point because the next thing I know, I opened my eyes to find her in my arms, sleeping peacefully. I guess I fell asleep too, because we were both lying on the couch.
The movie must have ended hours ago, because the menu was on and it was no longer dark outside, it was bright and sunny. I sniffed Jade's hair as I kissed the top of her head. She stirred in her sleep and moved closer towards me. My love for Jade never subsided, but multiplied over the years.
I blinked a few times and looked at the clock.
That was when I realized that my moment with Jade was over. It was 8 in the morning on a Saturday morning, meaning the kids will be up soon and as far as Saturday traditions go, it is my famous chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast with maple syrup from my family in Canada. I gently left the sofa and turned the television off. I turned around for one more glance at Jade. Her eyes were still closed. I didn't want to wake her, she has a hectic day carpooling Luke's hockey buddies to practice today, so she needs her rest.
We could go to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
Through the streets of New York
That is where I will take ya
Paris, Rome, to Rio
Passing through Las Vegas
We can go where you want
Say the word, and I'll take ya
But I'd rather stay on the sofa
On the sofa
On the sofa, with you.
Jade smiled in her sleep and looked contented. That was when Cece walked downstairs in her kitten pajamas.
"Daddy, can I help you make the pancakes today?" she asked sweetly.
"Of course, sweetheart." I answered.
These are the moments I live for… After all, it's the little things that can mean the most.
I'm sorry if the ending was so abrupt and everything... While writing NaNoWriMo, I came up with a bunch of ideas for fan fiction that I didn't think of before... I hope you enjoyed the story as much as I enjoyed writing it!
