Anastasia POV

Florence was still sitting on the stool at the island, she had her laptop open and was going through emails as I walked into the kitchen.

I walked over and wrapped my arms around her waist before resting my chin on her shoulder.

"Hi darling", I whisper softly and she hummed.

"Hi baby", she whispers back as she tilted her head a little.

"I was thinking we order pizza, tell the girls to come by and we can have a little pizza party until everyone has to leave", I tell her and she nodded before picking up my arms as she turned around in the stool.

I laughed as I stepped closer and wrapped my arms around her again. She moved hers to my shoulders before intertwining her hands into my hair.

I hummed as she gently stroked through my hair before leaning down and pecking her lips softly.

"Where should we order from?", I ask her softly and she smiled as she replied, "Pauley's place, we haven't ordered from there in a while and I miss his pizza".

"Okay darling, I will call Pauley in a few then", I tell her and she nodded softly.

"Once everyone leaves, Tom is going to get situated and then surprise Aurora with the news", I tell her and she smiled brightly.

"I'm very excited to see her reaction, I think she's going to lose her absolute mind.", she tells me and I smiled as I kissed the top of her head.

I heard footsteps from upstairs before I kissed her softly and stepped to the side. She laughed as looked back at her emails as I pulled my phone out to call Pauley.

"Pauley's Pizzeria, how may I help you?", I hear Pauley say as he answered the call.

I looked up as Sebastian, Dacre, Christian, and Carolyn walked into the kitchen before Sebastian said, "That's the last of it".

I was on the phone so I gave them a give me a second look as I went to say, "Yes can I get two extra large pepperonis. One medium pizza with...".

"Pepperoni, mushroom and onion", Florence mutters softly and I nodded.

"Yes sorry, the medium will have pepperoni, mushrooms and onions on it. And could we get two pounds of wings with buffalo sauce, two garlic breads with cheese and ten cans of soda. Yes uh 6 cans of coca-cola, two root beers, and two cans of sprite", I ask nicely to the employee from our local pizza joint down the road that we all love.

"Yes for pick up", I say before looking at Sebastian and he nodded.

"Thank you so much Pauley, Sebastian will be picking them up.", I say with a soft smile and Pauley the owner laughed.

"No worries Miss Bettany, I'll have it all ready in about twenty to twenty five minutes", Pauley tells me and I nodded.

"Okay sounds good", I say before he hung up.

I heard a faint fall and I looked around at everyone before noticing Tom was missing. Florence laughed a little as she knew he was up to something.

I just shook my head, we all spent the last probably hour doing the final touch ups. Obviously we have to build more but the majority is done. It's mainly just the nursery, but we're unsure on if we want it here or back home in Los Angeles.

Florence POV ~535

I was sitting on the couch when I heard the front door. I slowly stood up to go answer the door as Anastasia was in the middle of a conversion with Dacre and Christian.
