'Cause You Make Me Feel

Look What We Did...

Four years later...

Lena's POV

It's Mariana's birthday. Our baby girl is eight... she's beautiful and smart and she's just like her mother. She's always so kind and caring, she takes care of her siblings so damn well at her level. She loves them so hard and she's a happy little girl... she makes us proud.

Jude is crazy about her. He's now four and he follows her everywhere she goes. When she's at school, and since I'm on maternity leave, he asks me when his sister will be back home every five minutes.... It's so damn cute. The only time he stops that it's when he plays with his little sister, Callie.

That one I swear... our second baby girl. A little miracle after trying insemination three times and failing.... I cried and cried about it, and though Stef was just as devastated as I was, she put up a solid front and carried me all the way through this journey until one day I went pick her up at work and announced to her that I was pregnant...

That day she started crying, and she didn't stop for a week. Every time she would see me; she would cry. She kept so much in, all this time we were trying to have a baby, to spare me, and be there for me as much as possible, and so when I told her that we were finally pregnant... I think it got her in shocked in a way. It's only when we went to the first ultrasound that she managed to put herself back together and for that I was very glad believe me.

After that, all along my pregnancy, Stef was a bit stressed and overprotective to the point where she was driving me insane, but I was also very patient with her, because I knew that it was coming from love. Also, the way she looked at me when I was pregnant... you would have thought that I was God.

She made love to me more than she ever had, thought that was already a lot, but damn. She couldn't stop herself, and well... I couldn't either. She treated me like a queen and I... I don't know, it feels like she fell even more in love with me when I was carrying her child.

Callie is six months old, now. And she's obsessed with Stef. She loves her so damn much, she loves watching her for hours, staring at her as I stare at them, falling in love with them even more at each second.

And when my three children play together.... when Jude and Mariana talk with Callie as they are on the carpet in the living room... my heart breaks. I'm fulfilled with love and joy and happiness...

"Hey baby. The guests are waiting for that cake, love." I hear Stef say coming up behind me, and taking me into her strong arms.

In only a few years, Stef became a pastry chef. It was mind blowing to her, and it was only a fact to me. I knew she was good, and she's so passionate about her work, she put her heart and soul in it, and she worked so hard.

And so one day, I completely lost my mind, and though I had promise to always talk about big decisions with her before actually doing it. One day I didn't, I went out there, find a restaurant that had recently close and just buy it for her to transform it in a bakery.

She didn't speak to me for weeks. She was so angry. She screamed at me when I told her and then she shut me out and gave me the silence treatment until I apologized. Yeah, because I didn't want to apologize since it was a gift, but then I remind myself that Stef is a proud woman, that she loves me, but that she doesn't like when I do things behind her back and spend very large among of money on her.

Eventually, I manage to drag her with me at this soon to be bakery and though she was still angry, I could tell she understood that I did it for her, because I love her. At some point and after some convincing she agreed to give it a try, but at the condition that she was going to pay me back as she works in it which I wasn't able to refuse, because she refused that I refuse... the woman is stubborn, but what can I say, I love her.
