Mel.. You are going to love me for this
Chapter 41:
“Ssch Sweetie.” Stella rocked Vanessa carefully in her arms, she had just fed the girl, and was about to put her back to bed.
Obviously, Vanessa was bottle-fed, even though Angelina was the most responsible teenage-mom Stella had ever imagined, she didn’t like the idea of breast feeding her daughter, which was understandable.
Stella yawned, at 2:30 am, she was way more tired than the little girl, but she didn’t really mind, she liked taking care of the girl.
Because Angie after all still only was 16, they were taking shifts in looking after the girl at nights, Stella had taken vacation, so that she could help Angie through the first time of her motherhood.
“Hey Honey.” Mac whispered, he was standing in the bedroom door, just home from work. He had been living there for almost 2 months now.
Sometimes even he got up in the middle of the night to look after the girl, he was part of her family too somehow. They were a weird, and alternate family, but still a family, and a happy one.
“I’ll be back in 2 minutes, I just need to put Vanessa back to bed.” Stella kissed Mac before she went towards the nursery that was perfectly placed, right between their bedroom and Angelina’s room.
“Sleep tight love.” Stella tugged the little girl in before she went back to her own bedroom.
“I know this isn’t the most romantic moment we’ve ever shared, but no matter how much I plan, and how many times I think it through, I couldn’t think of any better way to do this.” Mac started, before her got down on one knee right in front of her.
“Stella, I love you… More than anything in the whole world, and being with you, has made my life perfect, and I want to live the rest of my life with you.” He took a deep breath, before he looked her in the eyes, his eyes must have taken all her attention, because suddenly he was holding a beautiful ring.
“Stella Bonasera… Will you marry me?” He looked at her, she felt her heart jump up and down like it had never done before.
The tears started to run silently down her cheeks, once again, she was surprised by the phenomena called tears of joy.
“I thought you’d never ask.” She smiled, “Yes, Mac Taylor, I will marry you, and be forever yours.”
Mac slid the ring on her finger, before he kissed her, romantically, a perfect way to start their perfect engagement.
