*Michael*

3 months later

I wake up to arms wrapped around my waist. I turn around to find Elizabeth starring at me. 

"How long have you been up?" I question, smiling like an idiot. 

"Long enough to know you talk in your sleep," She smiles as she places a light kiss to my lips. She's been staying at my house off and on for a month now and I've become used to finding her next to me. 

"DADDY!!" Stella yells as she runs into the room. She jumps on the bed and lays in between Liz and I.

"What's up, Princess?" I question, looking at her. 

"It's almost my birthday!" She smiles. 

"What do you want for your birthday, Mamá?" Elizabeth asks her. She's been calling Stella Mamá since the beginning of our relationship and Stella absolutely loves it. She looks at me with rosy cheeks as she whispers something into Liz's ear. When Liz starts laughing, I look at the two of them confused.

"I'll have to talk to your dad about that and I don't think we have enough time for that. What about next year?" Liz tells her. Stella thinks about it for a second before nodding. She then gets up and waddles out of the room.

"What was that about?" I question.

"She wants a little sister," Liz giggles. My heart flutters at the sound.

"And by the smile on your face, I can tell you're considering it," I wink at her. She rolls her eyes. We sit in a comfortable silence for a while before I break it.

"I've been meaning to talk to you about something," I sit up and turn to face her.

"Don't tell me you're breaking up with me. I just told your daughter she could have a sister next year," She laughs. I shake my head.

"No. It's not anything like that," I tell her. She furrows an eyebrow at me. "I don't know if this is taking it too fast but I wanted to get your opinion on you moving in... with us." I bite my lip, waiting for her answer.

"Seriously? I'd love to, Mikey," She smiles. I look at her with wide eyes. 

"Seriously?" I ask. She nods and kisses me softly.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," She says against my lips. I smile and wrap my arms around her, pulling her close.

Let's just say the next few chapters are going to be time skips. I've lost motivation for this book but I don't want to delete it or discontinue it.
