Chapter One
ଓ
The beginning
She struggled in her sleep, turning and tossing from side to side. She groaned, and often moaned in her sleep, and she would feel hot as well. She clutched the blanket, and gritted her teeth together. No one knew what she went through at night but her and her fiancé.
She was having a nightmare.
As she turned and tossed, she bumped her arm next to someone. He grunted, and with a kick to his shin, he abruptly woke up. He sat up on the bed, and looked at the woman struggling in her sleep. He rubbed his eyes, and slouched over her. He hugged her from behind, and spoke quietly to her. "S, wake up."
She moaned before waking up, and when she did, she started feeling the pressure of her fiancé on her. She turned around slightly, and gave a weak smile at him. "Sorry. I didn't mean to kick you..."
He chuckled, and lowered to give her a soft kiss on the cheek. His hug got tighter, and they both sighed as they looked out the window. She looked at her bedside table, and stared at the star key-chain she had. Her mother left it as a gift before she left. Her eyes fluttered slowly as they closed, and she griped her lover's hand tightly. "I love you, Dante."
He chuckled from behind her, and he nudged the back of her neck with his chin. "I told you not to call me Dante," he whined as he pouted. She laughed and got comfortable in the arms of her fiancé. She really did love him.

Next Day
"Eli, seriously, when are you and Leah going to have a baby?" she said while sitting on one of his kitchen stools. The question made him choke on his coffee. Although they were siblings, Eli and Stella were very different. He was always the caring type, as well as sweet. He would never hurt a fly, but was very protective of his baby sister. He was twenty-five and happily married to one of Dante's older sisters, Leah Devin. He had dated their eldest sister, Trinity, for about a year before dropping out of the relationship. As much as he cared for her, she was a very cold and controlling woman. She had even forced Stella to ask Eli to propose to her, and that was the sign for Eli to break up with her—however hurtful that might have sounded. He fell in love with Leah ever since, and he happily and freely married her.
Back to the question in waiting, Eli was very nervous and flustered to answer his baby sister. He knew his sister would get too detailed about how babies were made, and would ask embarrassing questions that brothers and sisters shouldn't be talking to each other about. Nonetheless, he calmed down, and took a sip of his coffee.
"I-I don't know," he replied, and she lowered her eyes, obviously not happy about it. Ever since his marriage, Stella had always bugged him about being an aunt, and told them to hurry up. And would often tell him things like—
"Well, you better hurry up and jump in that bed of yours and start bouncin'. I want a niece or nephew!" once again, Eli choked on his coffee. She was not afraid to be very...frank, for a better use of words. He sighed, and looked around the room. He and his sister had been living separately ever since he got married, and she had been living with her fiancé and best friend Dante Devin.
Dante...the first time he appeared in Stella and Eli's life was an awkward one. After the disappearance of their mother, Eli and Stella kept to themselves while their father raged at everything he could. He was angry and bitter about their mother's disappearance, and burned every picture there was of her. Stella was ten, while Eli was fifteen. About five months after that, Dante noticed Stella, and constantly tried to grab her attention at school. She ignored him a few times, mainly because she was still sad about her mother, but when Eli noticed the little puppy love going on with Dante, he invited him over one time. Ever since that visit, Stella found Dante bearable, and constantly hung around him.
As they grew into their teen years, Dante finally had the courage to ask Stella out when he was eighteen, while Stella was fifteen. It was the start of the love they shared today. Eli found it amusing how flustered and shy Dante always was around his baby sister, and completely freaked out when he asked him when he was going to propose. That was another moment in Dante's life where he had to really sum up his courage. The preparation for the proposal ended up miserably, since the plan backfired. However, amidst the rain, fire, and crumbling of everything that was planned, Dante bent down on one knee and looked at Stella while he proposed to her.
At age twenty-two, Dante was engaged to the lovely Stella Marie Hill. She was still young, only being nineteen years old, but she dearly loved Dante.
"You know, Stella...sometimes I wonder if we're even related." she was beyond different. Loud, active, and too optimistic, she was everything that Eli himself sometimes wished to be, but he was born sick.
"Eh. I'm going to find Dante," she said as she got off the stool. Leah had entered the room, and Stella smiled at her. "And here comes the loving wife of my brother. Man, I'm so glad you married him instead of Trinity."
Leah stopped walking, and laughed at the comment when she hugged Stella. Eli shuddered at the mention of Trinity's name, but he didn't want his wife seeing that. Leah went towards the counter to make some coffee, and turned to Stella. "So, how's Dante? He's not giving you a hard time is he?"
"If anything, she's the one giving him a hard time," Eli said about his sister. True, she was always seen as the man of the relationship, and Stella glared at her so-called caring brother. Leah laughed, and turned to smack her husband's head lightly.
"Well, tell Dante that he needs to come over sometime. Trinity can't keep our brother to herself," she placed her hand on her hips, and huffed. Trinity stopped talking to Leah when she found out that she was dating Eli, and downright started treating her miserably when she married her ex-lover. Talk about sisterly love.
"Oh, don't worry. Trinity may scare Dante, but she doesn't scare me," Stella assured her sister-in-law, and walked out of the house of Hill. She stretched her arms and knees, before running around the island looking for her fiancé.

Dante
He sighed for the umpteenth time when his sister started talking about something he didn't get. As much as he was happy that his sister was overly smart, he really didn't want to stick around for the lessons or lectures about how Destiny Island came to be, or information about their founding fathers. It was school all over again.
"...And so, as it turns out, he found Destiny Islands." she waved her hands around to dramatic effect, and chuckled after finishing her lecture. Dante rolled his eyes, and leaned on his right elbow as he looked out the window. He had stayed at his sister's house for a bit, only to check up on her. He wanted to leave hours ago and find Stella so they could spend the day together.
"That's great. Hey, listen, I'm gonna find S." he got up from his siting position, and headed to the door. He heard Trinity scoff, and lowered his eyes in annoyance, here came another speech.
"Is she really worth getting married to? Look at her brother, she obviously can't be trusted," Trinity sat down on one of her kitchen chairs, and took an apple from her fruit pot. As soon as she took a bite, Stella came barging in and somehow the apple tasted bitter. She scoffed again, and glared at the young blonde haired woman. When Stella noticed, her once soft honey brown eyes glared back at the lime green ones. Stella walked towards Dante, and smiled brightly while giving him a big and tight hug. He kissed her forehead, and she pulled him in for a better kiss. Trinity felt sick watching them, and rolled her eyes when she heard Stella giggle. She had to say something. "Ugh, you two are pathetic. All that mushy love nonsense will make you stupid."
Stella glared at this, and pulled away from the hug. "You should really shut that ugly face of yours, before it gets even uglier."
"I'm afraid I can't get any more atrocious looking than you, my dear."
"Shut it, will you?"
"Oh, did I threaten your so-called beauty?"
"At least I'm getting married and will live happily, unlike your lonely, cold and heartless self."
"..."
"Stop it, you two." Dante placed his hands in front of the two women's faces, and sighed knowing that his fiancé and sister would never get along. He sometimes wished Trinity would act like Leah, but everyone was different. Sadly.
He looked at his sister, and began to speak, "Love won't make me stupid, so stop with all that stuff." He looked over to his beloved fiancé, and cocked an eyebrow, "And stop being so rude to Trinity."
The two women glared at each other, before looking away with a sudden "hmph". Trinity never got along with anyone associated with the Hills, and she personally wished they would all die. Of course, there was a time where she actually liked them, but that was when she was in love with Eli. He couldn't be a man and ask her to marry him, so he got his little sister to break the news to her. She did it with venom in her voice, too. Suffice to say, ever since she and Eli broke up, Trinity has developed an unhealthy hate for everyone in the house of Hill. She scoffed, thinking on it, and got up from her chair. "I think you two should leave, I have to head to the library, and I don't want you infesting my house while I am away."
Stella scoffed this time, and grabbed Dante's hand as they walked outside of her house. Stella didn't know why she hated Trinity so much, but she was so glad that Eli had married the good sister. As they walked away from the house, Stella suddenly felt happy, of course being around her lover always made her feel like that. She hugged his waist while they walked, and he smiled softly down at her while she snuggled into his shirt.
"So, I was thinking...we've been friends since I was ten, dated for four years, and engaged for a year," she said while she hugged him tighter. "I think we should finally tie the knot, huh?"
Dante laughed innocently at this. Usually he wanted to push things further, or the one to ask those kinds of questions. He was happy that she was in love with him as much as he was with her. Stella had always been the dream girl for him, and when she returned his feelings, he felt like he was on a completely different cloud. Words couldn't express his happiness, and everything felt like a romance movie. He looked at his fiancé, and chuckled. "Well, we do have the money for it...Hm...How about next month?"
"Ooh, my. I didn't think you'd be frisky enough to set it so close," she teased. Dante's face suddenly grew very hot, and very red. Although they've known each other for ten years, Dante could never really control his flustered self when it came to her teasing and perverse thinking.
"C-come on, don't be stupid. I want to be married to the woman I love," he waved his hands around in his defence, and Stella laughed. She quietly placed her hand into his as she pulled away from the hug she had previously been in.
"Alright. Next month," she nodded for confirmation, and sudden happiness filled her every being. She pulled Dante into a jog, and she told them they had to tell the news to her brother and Leah. He laughed along with her, and started running faster. The sunset in the sky somehow enhanced the beauty of love that these two were in, and they both felt that everything was going into place so nicely.
Everything was perfect so far, but that would change soon enough.
Glad I could finish this. I had it up DeviantART for a while, so I would tease you allzzz. Maybe you can tell me just by reading this who Marie takes on most. =D I already know where Ryan get's his perverted self from. COUGHCOUGH-Stella-COUGHCOUGH.
