Our Love Grows

Chapter 15

We walked back out to the back yard to enjoy the rest of the day with my family. That next morning, I turned over in my bed and felt it was empty. I turned to look for my wife but she was not in my room.

*Stella's POV*

I walked out of Brandon's room and saw his mother in the kitchen cooking. She turned and smiled to me.

"Morning Stella." Iris said.

"Morning Iris." I said looking around.

"Would you like some juice while I finish up breakfast?" She asked.

I nodded and sat at the breakfast table. I wanted to ask if she wanted help but I was a horrible cook and I did not know what to do. Bloom tried to teach me once but I was horrible at it. I kept watch her cook. She turned to me and asked,

"Would you like to help?"

I was hesitant and said,

"I don't know what to do. I don't want to ruin anything."

"Come here. I will show you how to do it." Iris said reaching out her hand to me.

I smiled and took her hand. She brought me to the stove and showed me how to make pancakes. We started laughing together when I tried to flip a pancake and it almost hit the ceiling. We heard footsteps coming out of the room, it was the rest of the family. They started to pitch in to make breakfast and everything.

*Brandon's POV*

I walked out into the kitchen and saw my family cooking and preparing breakfast. I walking over to the table and saw Stella at the stove with my mother. That sight was perfect to see. I walked over to her and gave her a kiss on the check. She turned to smile to me and said,

"Good morning sleepy head."

"Morning Princess." I said giving her another kiss.

Once everything was done everyone sat down. We all started to eat and enjoy our morning. I looked over to Stella talking to my mother. They were getting along so well. Then she started a conversation with my father. He was impressed that she knew a lot about the guarding detail of different kingdoms.

"Of course I know about Eraklyon's guarding detail. The only reason I know it is because of my best friend is neighboring planets with Eraklyon." Stella explained.

"Of course you would be friends with one of the princesses of Domino. Let me guess is it the one that Sky has had a crush one for years, Princess Bloom." My father asked.

"Oh really!" Stella said looking down the table to me and Sky.

I looked over to Sky and saw him with a slight blush. I started to laugh and said,

"What's wrong Sky?"

"Oh shut up. And you Stella will be keeping your mouth shut." Sky warned her.

"Oh there is no way I am going to keep this to myself. Everyone is going to know right now." Stella said pulling her phone out and texting everyone.

Everyone started to laugh when Stella put her phone away with a grin. I just shook my head with a smirk. I thought my wife was evilly genius. It was about time to get those two together. I winked over to Stella and she smiled to me.

I watched as Stella helped my mother clean up breakfast. Well, at least tried to help. My mother liked to clean up by herself but the offer was appreciated. I took Stella's hand and lead her outside. We started to walk. I looked at her and said,

"You were amazing this morning. My parents love you."

"You think so?" Stella asked shyly.

"Of course. My father thinks of you as a genius and my mother think of you as an angel that needs help on a few things. She loves to teach people something new." I reassured her.

We continued walking and then I realized a ship landing near my parent's house. I looked over to Stella and she said,

"What is Solaria's ship doing here? I told daddy we were going to spend a few days on Eraklyon with your family."

We quickly walked about to the house. Stella approached the messenger and asked,

"What is this visit for?"

"We have a message from your father, the king." The messenger said.

Stella took the envelope and opened it quickly. She read it and looked to me. She looked sad and scared.

"What is it Stella?" I asked worried.

"I know you wanted to spend some time with your family but we have to go back home. My parents are...."
