I'm back from my little hiatus! Enjoy the chapter! And leave some comments of what you'd like to see. Drama, smut, flirty-ness, etc.

Betty

"So, you're really doing this huh?" I asked as I zipped up Danielle's wedding dress.
"Yep. We're so doing this." She said with a shaky breath.
"You got this. You and Mamma are so in love. I hope that Kaya and I are exactly like you two one day." I smiled at her in the mirror as she gave me a teary smile.
"Don't you dare cry that makeup off. I busted my butt to find foundation for your pale self." I joked as I handed her a tissue.

"You two almost ready?" Kaya asked as she knocked on the door.
"Sì, amore mio. Go ahead and get started. We'll be there in a second."

"You ready?" I asked.
"More than I've ever been."

We took each other's hands, and walked out of the room.
The music started, and we saw Stefania being walked down the isle by Jason.
"Come on Mom. Let's get you married." I whispered as I squeezed her hand.

We started our walk down the isle, and I saw Stefania's face light up.
Tears were rolling down both of their faces as I passed Danielle off to Stefania.
"Grazie bambina. We love you." Stefania whispered as she kissed the top of my head.
"I love you." I whispered as I walked over to Kaya who was holding Rory.

I locked hands with her, and squeezed her hand gently.
"That's gonna be us one day." Kaya whispered in my ear.
I smiled to myself, knowing that it would definitely be us one day.

Two weeks later

"Guys, we'll be fine. Kaya and I have Rory on Monday and Wednesday, Jaina is watching Rory on Tuesday and Thursday, and Barrett has her on Friday. She'll be good with all of us." I balanced Rory on my hip as I stood there talking to Stefania.
"We've never left you two for this long. We're gonna miss you." Danielle said as she walked by carrying Stefania's suitcases.

"We'll miss you two. But you two need to enjoy your honeymoon. We'll be fine."
"Your Mom just likes to worry." Stefania whispered to me.
"Try to make sure she has a good time. When's the last time you two have had an entire week to yourselves?"
"Okay Mrs. S-S. Your ten bags are in the car." Kaya said as she walked back inside with Danielle.
"Four bags, Kaya. Is it really too much?" Stefania laughed.
"Come on. Let's go before we hit traffic." Danielle kissed both mine and Rory's heads and gave Kaya a hug.
"We love you guys. Be good, be safe, remember to call us or one of your Aunts or Uncles if you need help." Carina kissed all three of us on top of our heads.

"Okay, Mamma. We love you guys. Call us when you get there!" I shouted as they walked to the car and got in.

Kaya shut the door and smiled with a sigh.
"So, looks like it's just me and my two favorite girls."
"Sì. What do my bambini want for dinner? I don't feel like cooking." I walked over and placed Rory in her pack and play.
"Chinese?" Kaya asked as she walked to the kitchen and grabbed the menus out of the drawer.
I walked behind her and wrapped my arms around her from behind.
"What looks good?" She asked as she flipped through the menu's.
"You." I whispered as I nibbled on her ear.
"Aht. Later. Don't start what you can't finish." She laughed.

"Fine. Later." I kissed her shoulder and read the menus with her.

We put in our order for dinner, and went to sit in the living room where Rory was playing with her toys.

"This is nice, isn't it?" Kaya asked.
"It definitely is." I laid my head on her shoulder.
"Do you wanna have kids eventually?"

Fuck. The future talk.

"Uh, yeah. I've always wanted kids." I sat up and twiddled with her fingers.
"Do you see us with kids?"
"I mean..." I took a deep breath and thought about it for a second. I could see it all. "Yes. I see us with two kids, maybe three. We're sitting on the back porch drinking coffee while our kids run around the back yard playing with the dog."
"A dog?" Kaya laughed.
"Sì. Maybe a lab. I want a dog for the kids. Our hypothetical kids." I squeezed her hand.
"Since we're talking about kids. Do you see yourself getting married?"

I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.
"Honestly? If you would've asked me that a few years ago, I would've said no. But with you, yeah. I can see that."

Kaya smiled and pressed a gentle kiss on my lips.
"I love you, Betty Dorothea Spampinato-Savre." She whispered as she leaned her forehead against mine.
I felt my heart beating out of my chest. Those three words would make or break our relationship.
"I love you too, Kaya Brielle Doss." I whispered as a tear ran down my face.
"Hey, why are you crying?" She cupped my face and wiped my tears away with her thumbs.
"Because you're the first person besides my Moms to tell me that. I feel so safe with you. I love you so much I feel like my heart could explode. I just love you so fucking much." I leaned into her touch and closed my eyes.

"I love you. I'll always keep you safe, okay? You're stuck with me babe. I'm not going anywhere."
"Ti amo, mondo mio."
"I love you more." She kissed my nose and pulled me into her arms for a hug.

"Ahhhhhhghhhh!" Rory shouted from her pack and play.

"We love you too itty bitty!" Kaya laughed as she let go of me and picked up Rory.
"You know Sissy and Kaya love you." I kissed my sisters cheek.

Rory grabbed Kaya's hair and started playing with it as the doorbell rang.

"That'll be our food. I'll be right back."
I got up walked to the front door, greeted the delivery guy and paid for our food.
"Bambina! Do you wanna eat in the living room?" I called as I set our food on the counter.
"Yes please!"

I grabbed our containers and paused as I watched Kaya playing with Rory, making my baby sister giggle.

I definitely want forever with this woman.
