Forevermore

Chapter 8

Ares's POV

Celeste took Cleo out for ice cream and I was sitting in my home office room, musing. It's been 3 months since Celeste and I have been in a relationship. I couldn't ask for anything more. I love her so fucking much.

Talking about us, we have yet to tell Cleo. I can't hide our relationship from my little girl. And I'm sure she will be ecstatic when she learns that her Miss and I are together. But I'm afraid that she will think of Celeste as her mother. I would love that, but I don't know whether Celeste would want that or not. Will Cel want to be Cleo's mom? I know she loves Cleo, but accepting someone else's daughter as their own is a different thing. Can she do that? I think she can, but I can't be sure. Not until she tells me that she wants to. I can't take any chances because this is regarding my daughter who means the world to me.

Celeste and I decided that we would disclose our relationship to Cleo today, but I have not yet discussed with Cel whether she wants to be a part of Cleo's life. A knock on the door along with Cleo's screams brought me out of my reverie.

Cleo ran to me, and I picked her up, placing her on my laps. My little girl looks so happy. Then, I looked at my beautiful girlfriend who looked breathtaking as always.

"So how was your ice cream date with your favorite person?" I asked Cleo.

"It was awesome, Daddy. But Miss didn't let me have another one." She complained while pouting.

"Why didn't you?" I asked Cel, and she crossed her arms.

"Ares! She could fall sick if I would've let her eat too much ice cream. It's already so cold outside." Cel reasoned.

"One was enough, little girl. C'mon now, it's time for your shower." Cel told Cleo and they left the room.

The 3 of us always spend the weekends together. Ever since Celeste came back into my life, everything feels perfect. It should have always been this way. Me and Celeste. Not Sabine. But truthfully, I am grateful to Sabine for giving me my beautiful daughter, Cleora. I would do anything for my little angel.

After Cel gave Cleo a bath, the 3 of us had our dinner, and after dinner we began watching some Disney movie which Cleo have watched a thousand times. Cleo snuggled into Cel at the end of the sofa whereas I was at the other end. During the movie, I decided to tell Cleo about mine and Cel's relationship. I looked at Celeste and she understood what I meant.

"Cleo. Baby." I said after clearing my throat, and she sat straight.

"Yes, Daddy."

"There is something Daddy and your Miss would like to say to you." I said, and she nodded.

"Okay. Uh...." I looked at Cel before looking back at my daughter. How do I say this?

"Baby, you see, um... Daddy kind of like your Miss. I mean, Daddy and your Miss Celeste love each other. So, I wanted you to know that Celeste and I are together."

Just after I said that, Cleo stood up on the sofa with a huge smile plastered on her face.

"Really, Daddy?" She almost yelled excitedly.

"Yes." I nodded with a smile. I looked at Celeste and she was smiling too.

"Yay!" She squealed and jumped on to Celeste's lap.

"Can I call you Mommy now?" She asked her, animatedly waiting for her to answer.

Cel looked and me and back at Cleo. I didn't know what to say or do. Should I stop her? But even I want to know what does Celeste wants. Does she want to be Cleo's mother? Or not?
