The next morning Raf went to his office, seeing the package he ordered on his desk, closing the door, he sat down and opened it admiring the ring before pulling out the necklace. He looked over his desk at a photo of the whole family taken right after he was acquitted. He got out his phone, took a picture of the ring, and the necklace texting it to his mother and Liv saying,
Do you think Amanda and Jesse would like these?- Raf
Beautiful Raf.- Liv
Beautiful mijo, they are going to love it.- Lucia
Could you send Amanda home early Liv?- Raf
I'll try Rafa, no promises.- Liv
Try to give me a 30 minutes notice, please. - Raf
Raf finished work, taking a half day he picked up Jesse a little early from school, going home and started making dinner. He looked at Jesse playing with some toys,
"Hey mija, I got you something, you want to see it?"
"Yeah Papi!" she yelled, running over.
Raf walked over to his briefcase, he got out the necklace and the ring. Raf opened them both, and held out the necklace on her.
"You like it?" he asked as he got out his phone and turned the camera so she could see it on herself.
Jesse smiled.
"I love it, papi! What's in that box?" she asked, pointing to the ring box.
Raf took a breathe.
"For your mami, I'm going to ask her to marry me if your okay with it?"
"What marry mean?"
"It's means I'll live here forever, and you will legally be my daughter Jess, and the five of us will be a family." Raf tried explaining to the 4 year old.
Jesse thought for a minute and smiled.
"Okay. Can we get a bigger house though?"
Raf chuckled, the nodded.
He had thought about that also, their two bed, one bath apartment wouldn't fit two adults, a four year old, and soon two newborns. Amanda and him needed to have that conversation after, he guess. He almost had dinner done when Liv texted saying Amanda just left.
"Come on mija, let's get change for bed."
After Jesse and him was in their pjs, Raf left Jesse to play while he finished setting the table. He got done, just about the time the door opened and Jesse yelled,
"Mami!"
Raf felt the ring box in his pocket. He walked into the living room where Amanda sat down trying to take her shoes off. He walked over, bent down on one knee taking each shoe off, he looked up at her, with his left hand he took her left hand his right hand went to his pocket, bringing the box out. He opened it, then looked at her, to find her eyes close, she looked so tired, he lean up and kissed her lips.
"Mi amor, I know you're exhausted, but look at me please." Raf whispered.
Amanda smiled and opened her eyes, she saw him then the ring and the tears started.
"Yes."
"I've not even asked yet."
"My answer is still yes."
Raf chuckled.
He took the ring out of the box, and put it on her finger.
"Hermoso, mi amor." He whispered, kissing her hand.
"Guapo, mi amor." Amanda whispered.
Raf sat beside her, Jesse climbed up and sat on his lap.
"Look what papi got me!"
"Raf, you didn't need to get Jesse anything."
"Yes I did, my girls deserved everything they want."
Amanda shook her head, laying on his shoulder.
They finally got up and ate dinner then got Jesse in bed. They laid in bed Amanda admiring the ring.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I love it, but I love you, more."
Raf smiled,
"I love you too."
