Your Heart is my Heart. (Stefanielle)

Chapter Forty-One

Danielle made her way to the back porch, clearing her throat to make herself known.

"Hi sir" she smiled nervously.

"Danielle hi, please sit"

Danielle sat on the seat next to the Italian father, she could feel her palms getting sweaty.

"Would you like some?" He asked offering the whisky she had bought him. 

"Sure but just a little bit" she laughed lightly. He handed her the glass and she took it back in one, the Italian father laughing at the way she drank it, he poured her another glass.

"So I wanted to talk to you about something" She said nervously.

"You want to marry my little girl?" He asked blankly.

"I do yes"

"So you get her pregnant and then you want to marry her, that's not normally how it goes is it" he took a sip of his drink staring out to the garden.

"I know it's not traditional, well I mean we're gay so it's not exactly traditional but-" Danielle sighed, she wanted to get this right, she had a whole speech thought out, suddenly her mind had gone blank.

"I love her, I am so incredibly in love with her, she's amazing and perfect and beautiful. She makes me laugh, she makes me happy. It just feels so right, I have never had this connection to anyone else. She's special and I want to make her mine, forever, for good. I want to be able to call her my wife" Danielle finally took a breath and laughed slightly.

"I see" her father sighed.

Danielle took another gulp of the whisky.

"Do you have a ring?" He asked curiously.

"I do sir, I have it right here with me" she went to pull it out of her pocket but Stefania's father stopped her.

"It's okay, I don't need to see it" he paused "What ring is it?" He asked kindly.

"It's 2.3 carat diamond" she smiled proudly.

"And how much did it cost you?" He asked. She thought it was a rather odd question but answered him anyway "Uh- twenty five thousand dollars"

"I see you really do worship her, spending that much on a ring" he gestured for Danielle to finish her drink so he could poor more.

She finished up her drink "If Stefania wanted a ring from the dollar store I would get it, if she wanted a hundred dollar ring I would get it. I would buy her the moon if I could, I would buy her the moon and all the stars" Danielle expressed "I love her, I just want her to be happy and to be able to call her mine, so please Mr Spampinato, do I have your permission to marry your daughter?"

Her father paused for a moment, he sipped more of his drink whilst he thought. Danielle doing the same but she was drinking due to nerves.

"Hey what's going on out here?" Stefania appeared behind them.

Danielle jumped slightly "God you scared me" she laughed "Hi beautiful" she smiled, she held her hand pulling her down to sit on her lap.

Stefania kissed the blonde softy "oh god you taste like whiskey"

"Yeah your father here has been feeding me whiskey" Danielle laughed with her arm wrapped around the Italians waist.

"Oh yeah he does that" Stefania replied tucking her head into the blondes neck.

"I'm sorry daughter, I would offer you some but I've heard that it's not- uh, acceptable these days in your current state"

"No papa it's not" Stefania laughed.

There was a comfortable silence for a while, the three of them just being happy where they were.

"So what are we having? Boy, girl?" He broke the silence turning to face his daughter.

"Bambino papa" Stefania smiled proudly.

"Ah wonderful news my girl. You'll have to bring him back when he's old enough, I'll teach him how to get his hands dirty" her father laughed.

"I'm sure you will papa, I'm sure you will" Stefania squeezed Danielle slightly, she could feel her anxiety radiating off her. But it wasn't for the reasons Stefania thought, it was because her father hadn't answered her question.

"Danielle?" Her father asked.

"Hmm?"

"Do you feed her enough?"

The blonde laughed nervously "I don't know what you mean?" The couple looked at each other confused.

"By the state of your neck, I would say the answer is no"

"Papa! On my god! Stop!" Stefania shouted in embarrassment, Danielle hid her face in Stefania's boobs hiding how flushed she was.

"Well mamma said foods almost done so come on" Stefania tried to change the subject.

Her father helped her up from Danielle's lap still laughing, he pulled her in for a hug in the process "God I missed you" he whispered.

"I missed you too papa"

The father and daughter made their way inside, Danielle stayed sat down for a moment, she sat their thinking about what just happened. Did her father like her? Why didn't he reply? Does he not approve of their relationship? So many questions circled the blondes mind. She drank back the rest of her drink building up the courage to go in.

"Hey Danielle, are you coming?" Her mother appeared behind her.

"I uh- uh yeah yeah I am" Danielle said hesitantly.

"Is everything alright?"

Danielle let out a deep breath, "Yeah, I think the drink is getting to me a bit" she laughed nervously.

"Well come have some food, I'll get you some water" the Italian mother smiled holding out her hand. Danielle took hold and was lead into the dining room, she took a seat next to her girlfriend.

"Are you okay bambina?" Stefania whispered in her ear.

Danielle smiled and kissed her cheek softy, "Mhm, that whiskey is strong"

The couple stayed with Stefania's parents for a few more hours, Danielle having a few more whiskeys making her a little drunk before finally heading back to the house.

"Hey bambina, are you okay?" Stefania asked furrowing her eyebrows.

"Y-yeah, I think I'm a little drunk" she laughed nervously.

"Yeah my father does that, but you must be special if he shared his favourite whiskey with you" Stefania held onto Danielle's thigh "Wait, I said that wrong" Stefania laughed "You are incredibly special, my father must really like you.... Which I knew he would"

"You really think he likes me?" She asked fiddling with Stefania's hand.

"Of course bambina. When I lived here and took someone over to meet them he wouldn't really talk to them, didn't matter if they were male or female. And he definitely wouldn't share his favourite whiskey with them, he used to pour them something else off the shelf" Stefania laughed squeezing Danielle's hand.

"Okay good" She sighed in relief.

They arrived back at the house not long after, "Hey bambina I'm going for a shower"

"Okay bambi" Danielle smiled pecking her lips softy.

Danielle made her way out to the back porch sitting on the step looking up at the stars when her phone pinged. She opened the message of a unknown number.

Unknown Number - "Sí, you have my permission"
