Emily and Damon bring their daughter to the starlight lounge to see the stars at night.
Emily lay on the red and white plaid blanket, closing her eyes for a moment. It was nearly sunset, so she had enough time to take a nap, right?
She had just had to a nice dinner with her husband and daughter, and they had gone to the starlight lounge to watch the stars. It was Damon's idea to show their daughter this special place, and Isabella seemed to love it.
Sighing, she closed her eyes, ready to take a nap before she felt someone poke her nose.
"Isabella Sophia Young, please leave Mommy alone. She wants to sleep," she said, eyes closed.
But then she felt lips on hers and she smiled.
"It's just me," Damon whispered, coming up from the kiss. Lying next to her, he tucked a piece of hair behind her ear with a smile. They had been married for three years now, and she could honestly say that she couldn't be happier.
"How many hours until the stars come out?" she asked almost in a hazed manner, drowsy.
"Do I look like an astronomer?" he replied with a grin. Resting his head back down, he took in a deep breath.
After a few seconds, he shot up. "dangit!"
She scrunched up her nose. Confused, she lay there for a few seconds.
"Damon….. Where is our daughter?" she asked, the sound of her voice calm, though he knew if he didn't do something fast, he would get a whooping later.
He got up quickly and ran to the stairs leading to the restaurant, and sure enough, Isabella was down the stairs practicing her handstands.
She was a spitting image of her mother; she had short brown hair and the pale skin. The one thing that stayed true to Damon was the eyes she had the most gorgeous blue eyes. Emily repeatedly told her husband that the gentleman would swoon over them one day, but Damon didn't want to think about that yet. Isabella was only four.
Scooping her up, he brought her back to Emily who was still on the blanket. Softly he lowered her on the blanket, where she immediately snuggled against her mother.
"Such a mama's girl," he joked, lying down next to them. Emily smiled, kissing the top of Isabella's head.
For a few hours, they lay there, waiting for it to get dark enough to see the stars.
