Michaels POV

My Doll practically ran into that kids arms. She's better with him anyway, he isn't old. Her perfect body crashes into his. I turn to see Carly silently crying by my side.

Well it's official I'm a dick.

"Carly im sorry would you like to dance with me?" She cleans her face with her hands and nods. I put my hands by the sides of her waist and she buries her face in my chest holding me tightly.

"Carly im sorry i should dance with you more often." I really do feel so bad. She's always so nice and amazing to everyone and i just made her cry. I can't help it. When Darling is around she is all i see. I don't love Carly but im using the woman as a distraction the least i could do is treat her better.

"It okay thank you. i just wish we..." Over her head i can see Darling tightly hugging the kid and what Carly saying becomes background music. He takes Darling's hand and leads her out of my house. I was hoping to have her in my arms again.

"...I mean can't we?" I turn to see Carly clearly expecting me to say something. I said the first thing that came to mind. "We can." She gasps and kisses me all over my face and takes off running to Lily. Wait a minute what did she say??

In the back of my mind Carly said. "It's okay thank you. I just wish we could just take the next step in our relationship and if you don't think that's having a baby i understand. But after the six years the least we could do is get married, i mean can't we?"

Oh fuck! oh shit! oh fucking shit!!! How the hell do i keep getting dumber with age it's supposed to be the other way around. I can't marry a woman i don't love. I already did that with the twins mother.

Lily comes running to me and behind her is a really mad Rose. "Congratulations! Finally i can't believe it! Thank you, she's perfect dad." Lily hugs me and squeals. How do i get out of this?

Rose scoffs rolling her eyes. "Oh yes dad well done she is absolutely perfect. Like the evil stepmother from Cinderella or the evil queen, she's just lovely." She said sarcastically slowly applauding.

Lily turns to her. "Would you shut up. She's nothing but nice to you. If anything you're the bitch, always being mean to her. She loves dad and he loves her so why aren't you happy?!" I almost choked at the last part.

"Lily do not call your sister a bitch and enough.This is meant to be a party so we'll talk about it tomorrow." I walk away to the bar. I really want to punch something or someone mostly me. For getting myself in this mess in the first place.

I woke up with a huge headache and Carly cuddling into me. Feeling the sunlight coming through the window and my phone is ringing i try to remember how i made it up the stairs.

After i apparently got engaged last night the bar became my best friend. Jesus the person that's calling just won't quit. I tried to move Carly off of me without waking her up. I get out of bed and grab my phone from the floor with my pants.

SHIT.

I'm completely naked, I turn to see that Carly is too. I guess we had sex last night. I finally get my phone and i know I'm in deep shit. She never calls this early or as many times. "Hello?" I whisper sneaking out of the room putting my pants on.

"Well i'm kind of disappointed to see you're alive. It doesn't matter, I'm about to kill you dumb ass!" She yells. "Please don't yell, my head hurts and don't call your son a dumb ass mom."

"I will do it when you stops being one, dumb ass!" She said still yelling to make her point. "What, mom why are you so mad?" I hiss rubbing my temples.

"Imagine my surprise when Satan personally calls me yesterday to ask me for my wedding dress so she can use it at her wedding. All so she can get married to my dumb ass son." She laughs sarcastically now.

Something that's all to obvious, my mom hates Carly with a passion. She blames her for Darling leaving. She also always calles her Satan or Evil queen sometimes even to her face. I guess that's where Rose got it from.

"And don't even think about bringing her evil spawn into the world! Oh sweet Jesus is she pregnant? That's why you're marrying her? I'm gonna have to check my new grandchild for the Devils mark on their head!" She keep going with her rant.

"My wedding dress is for Darling it has always been for her. She already has it. I showed it to the twins and none of them liked it. Rose said that she's not even wearing a wedding dress. Lily said that she doesn't like vintage. Which is ridiculous i got married thirty eight years ago not eighty." She was going to keep going but i interrupted.

"You gave your wedding dress to Darling? Why??? SHE IS NOT GETTING MARRIED!" I'm fuming with anger now. Is she really going to use my mom's wedding dress to married that stupid kid? I knew mom was saving it for her but she was going to get it once she was engaged.

I don't trust him. There's something off like his stupid face. I don't even think he's British accent is real. I bet he does it to get laid.

"Really? Is that the only thing you heard? And yes i gave it to her two months ago when she came back and visited me. I met Malcolm and he's a really sweet young man, hot too." I groan in anger.

"They look very happy together and i had promised her that the dress was hers. At least this way it stays in the actual family and it's not use for a loveless marriage." That makes me clench my jaw, even my own mom wants them together.

"Darling is not getting married to that kid! She is way too young!Stop comparing Carly to the devil." My head was killing me now. I shouldn't have drank as much as i did.

"I got married to your father when i was twenty one. May he rest in peace and we were very happy together. I'm not comparing Carly to the devil, you're right that's really offensive.... to him!!" She laughs at her own joke.

"I am going over for dinner tonight and I'm inviting my Darling." With that she hung up without an explanation. Why do they need to come? I don't mind seeing Darling but trouble follows my mom.

♾♾♾♾♾♾♾♾♾♾♾♾♾♾

I told everyone that my mom and Darling will be coming in for dinner. Everyone got very excited. Especially Carly because she thinks my mom is bringing her the dress. She'll be lucky if my mom doesn't throw holy water at her.

The bell rings and i practically run to it like a little kid on Christmas. Lily looks at me like I'm crazy. I open the door to the must beautiful woman on earth. Her brown eyes meet mine but they don't tell me anything.
