This Love (A Stemily Fanfiction)

20. You're the only part of me unbroken

Reunion Day

Emily's POV

I woke up with Stephen snoring at my side and Mavi wasn't in the room. I had imagined Sandra came in early to get her so that we could sleep in. I tried to get up out of bed, but Stephen pulled me back down and wrapped his arm around me.

"I thought you were asleep." I smiled.

He laughed. "I was faking it. I've been up for about an hour now."

I furrowed my brows. "Why didn't you wake me?"

"You just looked so peaceful and I know that the twins haven't been letting you sleep the past couple nights, so I decided to let you rest."

I kissed him. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"So what's the itinerary today?" I wondered.

He sat up and handed me a folded up piece of paper.

"These are my tasks for the day. I'd like it if you joined me. Mom is keeping Mavs."

I looked over the list.

-Pick up chairs and tables. Drop off at Andrea's house by noon

-Pick up Uncle Richard at the airport at 2 and drop him off with Robbie and Italia

-Pick up ice and the cake right before heading to the party to help set up.

-Be early Steve!

-Love, Mom

"Seems easy enough. We could take Mavi?" I offered.

He shook his head. "There are a couple things that are not on the list that I would like to do today."

"What is that?" I eyed him suspiciously.

He smiled. "Just things. We should get ready. It's already ten and I don't want Andrea to start blowing up my phone."

"About that... I didn't know that the reunion was at her house. Is it always there?"

"It usually is here at my moms, but Andy is impulsive and on a whim she decided that it should be at her house. I actually don't mind because now we can leave whenever the hell we want."

I raised an eyebrow. "You're not excited to go?"

He sighed. "I am. It's just sometimes having all of the Amell's under one roof doesn't go that well."

I didn't pry. Stephen would talk to me if he wanted to about whatever the hell was going on. I got dressed for the day and joined everyone in the living room.

Mavi was already dressed and was sitting with her grandma.

"Good morning!" I spoke cheerfully.

Sandra smiled. "Good morning, Emily! How are those babies today?"

I placed my hands around my growing belly. "They are perfect."

"You guys heading out?"

I nodded and right on cue Stephen walked out, lacing his fingers with mine.

"Mom, can you make sure Andrea isn't calling me every second she can, I will be on time." Stephen spoke annoyed with his sister and he hadn't even seen her yet. Sandra nodded, we kissed Mavi and were on our way.

Stephen's POV

We pulled up to the table and chair rental place and Emily waited in the truck while me and a couple of the workers loaded up the truck.
