Stuck With The Mafia 2

Chapter 23

Ellie's POV

After having the best, most grown up mature heart to heart with Kai all night, literally the birds were singing once we were finished. We took a nap. And by nap I mean 5 hours sleep. A miracle must have happened for us to have slept so long uninterrupted. I look over to where Freya lays staring up at her soft pink animal mobile that's spinning slowing playing some tune. If I had known that it would've kept her occupied and quiet I'd have bought it sooner.

Turning to my side I realise that Kai is gone and judging by how cold the area where he lays is he's been gone for a while. Turns out I'm the only one who slept for 5 hours. I sit up with a stretch, moaning at how good it feels after such a well deserved rest.

"Hi my baby" I say in a baby voice whilst bending down to pick up my daughter. My daughter, I still can't believe it. Tears start swelling up in my eyes. "Your just the cutest aren't you" 

"Freya, you have no idea how much you've changed my life" I whisper as I kiss her on the forehead "mummy is going to love you forever and ever"

After I got Freya changed out of her dirty diaper and got her washed and ready in clean clothes for the day, I lay her back down in her cot before heading over to the en suite and quickly throwing water over my face, brush my teeth and braid my hair before going to pick out what I'm eating. I just grab a pair of black leggings and a white oversized hoodie, before picking Freya back up and heading to the door.

As soon as I open the door I see red and pink rose petals laying on the floor. They trail across the hallway and I follow them all the way to the stairs. When I look down the stairs Kai is standing surrounded by candles in the shape of a heart. There's huge light up red letter lights behind him that spell  MARRY ME?

Tears threaten to fall and my heart does summersaults in my chest. This is the cutest most romantic thing I've ever experienced in my life.  I almost can't believe my eyes. Kai looks up at me and smiles, I make my way down the stairs in awe. Only then do I realise that all my new friends who've become family to me are standing watching. Rachel, Ollie, Lucas, Oscar, Marcus and Savannah.

Kai drops to one knee as soon as I am standing in front of him. And just like last night he asks me to marry him, pulling open the ring box is the most beautiful ring I've ever saw. A sliver band with little diamonds sparkling making it look like it was made for a princess. Rachel must have told him I don't like big flashy rings with huge diamonds on top.

"Yes, yes yes" I laugh whilst tears steam down my face. Rachel takes Freya from my arms and I launch myself into Kai's arms. We clutch onto one another like our life depends on it and then pull back so he can slip the ring on my finger. As soon as it's on everyone starts cheering. Me and Kai kiss one another and it's as if everyone just fades away. This
is literally like a fairytale I think to myself.. one of those dark fairytales where the girl falls for the villain. God when did I become such a cliche?

All I know is I'm okay being the cliche if it makes me feel like alive, this loved this much joy. I have the perfect life people dream off. I have a fiancé who I love and who would do anything and everything to protect me and our precious little daughter who I get to watch grow up and have a happy and safe life while her dad spoils her rotten. I can just picture it...

Freya is running around the living room screaming with laughter as her dad chases her to change her nappy for bed. Meanwhile I'm cuddled up on the sofa with the two latest members of our family. Noah  my 6 months old son, who is currently sleeping on my chest and Bonnie, our gorgeous golden Labrador that Kai bought me as a wedding gift.
