Dance Party

Ellen's Pov

Today is the day, today is the day that Patrick is throwing a party for the kids. I'm kind of worried that Jill will be there, or better yet, if she's there she'll probably be there with her pervert boyfriend Kyle. I've never met the guy, but I'll probably hate him less than Jill just because I'm still disgusted with her for hurting Patrick so much. She called him stupid, slapped him and she was cheating on him and is pregnant with that pervert Kyle.

I snapped out of my thoughts and get out of bed. I take a quick shower and make some breakfast for everyone.

"Stella, Sienna, time for breakfast!" I call out. They come running down the stairs and sit down at the table. "I have good news. You know Patrick? He's throwing a party, and he invited us. You'll be able to play with Tallulah, Sullivan and Darby." I say. "Yay, I love Tal, and Sully and Darby." Stella exclaims excitedly. "Mommy, uncle Patrick going to be there?" Sienna asks. "Yes sweetie, he is going to be there." I say.

We finish our breakfast and I wash the dishes. Sienna goes upstairs to get ready for the day, but Stella stays down here. "Mommy, I need to ask you a question. Should I dress nice today because of the party?" She asks me. "Do you want me to help you pick out an outfit? I can do your hair afterwards. " I ask her. She jumps up and down. "Yes mommy!"  I finish washing the dishes and go upstairs with Stella to help her pick out an outfit for the party. "Okay, so what do you want to wear? A dress or a skirt with a top?" I ask her. "I want to wear a dress mommy." She says. I look through her clothes and finally find a dress. It has a white background with roses on it. I find her black shoes and Stella was ready. I checked on Sienna, but she seems fine.

After both Stella and Sienna get dressed I brush their hair. "So, Stella how would you like your hair done?" I ask. "I would like it in braids please." She says. I nod and take three pieces of her hair on each side, and put it into braids. "Would you like a flower in your hair?" I ask. "Yeah!" She says. I smiled and stick a flower behind her ear. "You look beautiful Stella." I say and kiss her forehead. "My turn!" Sienna says. she hops onto the stool that Stella was previously standing on and tells me that she wants her hair in pony tails. I put a pony tail in each side of her head and once I'm done she hops off the stool. She looks adorable.

An hour later. . .

After we're all ready for the day, the girls and I go out and buy some junk food for the party.

We end up buying Doritos and Lay's chips, and as for me, I buy both Patrick and I some wine.

The party starts at noon today and I guess it ends at the time we have to leave. But I'm really excited. We drove back home with our groceries in hand, and since Patrick's house is so close to mine, we don't have to use a car.

I walk into my house, along with my beautiful daughters and I change out of my clothes and put a black dress on. I put final touch-ups to my make up and we leave.

Patrick's Pov

Sullivan keeps asking me when Stella is going to get here, and I think it's adorable. I've got everything ready, music, food, drinks, and of course, disco.

All of a sudden, I heard the doorbell ring, but Sullivan was the first one to get it. He opened the door and his eyes widen. "Stella, you look beautiful." He says. "Thanks, you're not to bad yourself Sully." She says and hugs him. Sullivan looked starstruck, staring at Stella in awe. They walked away with Sienna following, and the only one left was Ellen. "You look beautiful Ellen." I say. That black dress that she was wearing hugged her curves so well. "Thanks Paddy, you look perfect too, you always do.I brought junk food and wine for each of us." She says. She hugs me and kisses my cheek. "Let's party!" I say and puts on 'Larger than life' by the backstreet boys. "Come on El, I'm not doing this alone." I say and pull her up. She gives in and takes my hand in hers. The song starts and although my dance moves are terrible, and I have no talent in dancing, I just make up the moves as I go.

Tallulah comes down the stairs and a smile grows on her face. "Ellen, you're here." She says. "I love this song!" She shouts. She starts dancing too. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Sullivan kiss Stella, it was sooo cute. "We came up to see what was going on. But I love this song, and let's go dance!" He shouts . He takes Stella's hands in his and slow dances with her. Darby sits on the couch. "Come on Darby, come dance with us." Sienna says. "I don't know, Sienna my dance moves are terrible." Darby says. "Come on , it's okay, his dance moves are terrible too." She says pointing to me. I gasp, pretending to be offended. "I'm sorry uncle Patrick, but it's true." She says with a smirk on her face. She takes Darby's hands in hers and pulls him up. They started dancing too, and 'Everybody' by the backstreet boys comes on. Ellen looks at me. "Did you just get only backstreet boys songs?" She asks me. "Not all of them are backstreet boys songs, but most of them yeah." I say.

After an hour we take a break from dancing and eat food. I open up the wine Ellen got for me and herself and pour it into two separate glasses. I take a sip, and my taste buds explode, this wine is so good!

Half an hour later I get off the couch and turn the music on again. "Who's ready to dance again? This will be our last dance, so let's make it our best." I shout happily. "Me!" Tallulah shouts. "Stella and I both are!" Sullivan shouts. "Darby and I are!" Sienna says loudly. I turn the music back on and 'I want it that way' by the backstreet boys comes on. "Seriously Pat? Another backstreet boys song?" Ellen says. "Yep, of course!" I say. Ellen rolls her eyes, and takes my hands in hers, I just let the music move me but as Sienna said, I do have terrible dance moves. As I dance with Ellen, I think about Sullivan and Stella, they certainly are cute together, and Ellen and I are basically inseparable and our families are really close,  but what does this mean for us?

I think about it, because this could mean something good.

The song ends and Sullivan kisses Stella goodbye, as do I with Ellen. They leave and I clean up the mess of food littering the counter. Once that is done, I go to Darby  Sullivan's room and knock on the door. "Sullivan are you in here?" I call out. He opened the door and looked at me. "What is it Daddy?" He asks. "Actually, can I come in?" I ask. "Sure."

"So, you have a crush on Stella?" I ask him, even though I already knew the truth. "How did you know?" He asks me. "Sully, it wasn't that hard, I saw you kiss Stella. But I know how you feel, because I feel exactly the same way about Ellen."  I say. He looked at me with a suprised expression on his face. "Daddy, I need help, I want to impress her, and she's just so beautiful. I want her. What did you do to get Ellen?" He asks me smiling. "Well, what I did was I was just myself, girls like it when you take care of your siblings, probably not Tallulah, since she's older, but definitely Darby. And they like it when people are funny. But on meet the cast day, I asked her out to coffee at Starbucks, and we became close friends. So just be yourself Sully, follow my steps and you'll be fine." I say and kiss his forehead and then Darby's. 

I go to Tallula's room and kiss her forehead and left. I found my way to what used to be Jill and I's room and layed on the bed drifting off into a deep sleep.
