BONUS CHAPTER #4

*Richard's POV*
"She said yes. She actually said yes". I kept repeating those words in my head. I was holding her hand while driving back home. I'm excited to tell my daughter about it knowing that she'll get a new 'mommy' and she's actually close with Fatin. "Do you think Aaliyah is gonna be excited about it?", Fatin asked with a curious face. "Of course, and you two are pretty close right? I don't think Aaliyah will have a problem about it", I said assuringly.

We arrived at my house and knocked on the door. The door was answered by the babysitter I hired, Kelly. She let us in and led us to Aaliyah. Before talking to my daughter I have Kelly her pay for this month. After she left, Aaliyah ran up to me and gave me a big hug. "Hey, princess. Papa wants to tell you something", I whispered and pulled her into my lap. She looked excited but curious. She looks cute when she's trying out to figure something out. "Hmmm.. are we getting a new pet?", she asked. "Sadly, no", I giggled. "It's something better". I looked over at my fiancée, signalling her to tell Aaliyah. "Actually... your papa and I are getting married", she said with a big smile. My daughter hugged her tightly and called her mommy. I was really happy that we have mutual opinions/decisions.

*Fatin's POV*
I felt a tear rolled down my cheek as Aaliyah called me mommy. "Well, I guess I'm your new mommy", I smiled and tickled her tummy. "I knew you were the one since the beginning and you'd be a great mother for Aaliyah", Richard said as he kissed my forehead. Richard and Aaliyah are basically the most important people in my life a.k.a my world. I honestly am looking forward to call Richard my husband.
