Chapter 7
"Daddy" Isabelle ran up to him when she saw him waiting close to where the buses were. "Hey princess" he hugged her. "How was your day?" he said taking her Tinkerbell backpack and swinging it on his shoulder. "It was good. I got a 100 on my spelling test."
Daniel smiled. "Alright!" he held his hand up for her to slap. She giggled slapping it. "I drew a picture for you in art class."
"You did?" he said happily taking her hand as they started to walk. "Yep. And I wrote a poem for mommy in English class."
He smiled. "I swear, you are so your mom" he said with a smirk. She laughed. "They're in my backpack."
"Ok, princess, we'll look at them at home okay?"
"Okay"
He leaned down to her "What do you say we get some cookies on the way home?" She looked up at him with a grin. "Didn't mommy say no cookies?"
He sighed. "Why do you have to remember everything? Don't you want a cookie?"
She laughed "yes"
"Ok...so, we're getting cookies." He said with a smirk. Isabelle giggled. "You're silly, daddy."
"I know, but that's why you love me, right?" he said looking at her with a puppy dog smile. She giggled shaking her head. "Yes"
After a minute she tugged his hand "Dad?"
"Yes?"
"What about the puppies?" she said looking at him. He rubbed his hand through his hair. "I promised you that; didn't I?"
She nodded. He sighed and she started giggling. He looked at her strangely. "Why are you laughing?"
"It's okay. We can go later."
He smiled. "Are you messing with me? Your mommy teases me, you tease me, and my mom teases me" he pretend sighed. "Nobody likes me" he said jokingly. She stopped and pulled him down to her. "I like you."
He smiled. "Are you sure?" She nodded looking at his eyes. "Good, because I love you" he kissed her cheek. She wrapped her arms around him "I love you, too. Mommy loves you. And grandma loves you, too." She said looking at him. He smiled hugging her tight. "Thank you, princess. I was just teasing you" he said with a smirk walking again.
She grinned "I know"
His eyes went wide "You knew I was joking?"
"Duh! You know we make fun of you because you're funny and we love you." She said with a giggle. He laughed. "Man, you are really smart. You should be the president when you grow up."
She laughed. "I want to be a pirate!" He looked at her and laughed. "A pirate?"
"YES!" she said with a wicked grin. "I'm going to be the baddest, coolest pirate ever!"
He laughed. "Like Captain Jack Sparrow?" he joked. She giggled "Uh-huh, but I'll be better."
"Really?" he asked swinging her hand back and forth. She started laughing again swinging his hand and starting to skip. He pulled her back. "Are you going to leave me and explore the world?"
"Yes, but you can come, too. I'm the captain, but you can be a pirate, too, and mommy can be the mermaid." She said with a laugh. "You really think mommy will be the mermaid?" he asked in surprise. She laughed shaking her head "nahh, she will be a pirate, too. She can fight! We need her!"
He laughed loud. "I guess so. Ya, we need mommy. We're a team, right?"
She smiled big. "Yes"
When they got home, getting cookies along the way, they sat on the couch with Isabelle showing him the drawing and poem she did. "Do you like the drawing?" she asked sitting on the floor looking up at him. He pulled her up by him. "I love it. It's really cool. I love the colors of the dragon."
She smiled. "So, the knight and princess are slaying the dragon?"
"No, they're going to catch it so they can fly it. The dragon will be their friend. You are the knight and mommy is the princess."
"So...does this boat in the corner with the girl pirate..." she smiled wide "is that you?"
She nodded. "Uh-huh...I'm bringing the treasure." He laughed. "Cool...you should write a story."
"Okay...you'll read it?"
"Absolutely. That would be a cool story. Are you going to make me awesome?"
She laughed. "No!"
"What? Why not?"
"I'm kidding...you'll be awesome...you get to marry the princess."
He smiled really big. "That's good. I love the princess. She's my favorite...and the pirate, too." She laughed "The princess rules the land, I rule the sea and you rule the skies."
"Wow, that's really awesome. We really do make an awesome team."
She laughed. "Dad, I have to do my homework."
"Alright princess-pirate, daddy needs to do some work too." They both went on to do their 'homework'.
Betty was on her way home from the office, after spending most of the afternoon hanging out with Amanda. Even when Betty was going back to work, Amanda came along and actually helped for a change. They went shopping and bought some new clothes for dinner and got dressed at the office, so they could leave as quick as they could for dinner. She was so anxious and thrilled.
When Betty got home she opened the door quietly wanting to surprise Daniel. She walked in to see Isabelle sitting in the living room reading a book. She smiled and walked over. Isabelle looked up and a big smile came to her face. "Mommy" she got up and hugged her. "Hey sweetie, let's be quiet okay. I want to surprise daddy."
"Okay" she whispered.
Betty sat over with her. "How was your day?"
"It was good...and fun. I got a 100 on my spelling test, and I drew a picture and I wrote you a poem."
"Oh wow. That's a lot. I knew you'd get a 100. You wrote me a poem?"
"Mmhm" she nodded reaching for her backpack and pulling out a sheet of paper. She sat close to Betty. Betty smiled bringing an arm around her holding her close.
"B is for the beautiful mom I have..." Betty smiled playing with her hair looking at her admiringly.
"E is for every smile she makes
T is for all the times we laugh" Betty bit her lip looking at her pretty face.
"T is for all the tremendous hugs she gives
And Y is for every 'yay' she cheers.
Mommy is a best friend I have,
A friend for all my years." she looked up at Betty to see her big smile and tears in her eyes. "That was beautiful, honey." She hugged her tightly for a minute. "Thank you. I love you, sweetie." She couldn't help her crying.
Isabelle hugged her tighter "I love you, mommy"
"I love you, too. Did you and daddy have cookies today?" Belle's eyes went wide. "How did you know?" she asked in surprise looking at her. Betty grinned "mommy knows everything" she said with a smirk. Isabelle giggled. She brought her mom close to whisper in her ear "Don't tell daddy I said anything."
Betty laughed. Isabelle showed her the picture she drew. After, Betty got up "I'm going to surprise daddy."
Belle snickered "okay...I think he's working in his room."
"Okay sweetie" Betty laughed "I called Justin and he's going to come play with you while me and daddy go to dinner okay. I left him money so you both can get a pizza"
Belle's eyes lit up "YAY!"
"Shhh" Betty said biting her lip. Belle brought her hands to her mouth "sh...Sorry"
Betty kissed her cheek "It's okay." She walked up the stairs, her heart was beating like crazy and she felt butterflies. She didn't even understand why. She felt like she was going to ask her 'husband' on 'date'. She giggled thinking she was so silly for feeling this way.
Daniel got up from the desk to get a drink. When he saw Betty a smile came to his face, and as soon as she saw him, her eyes lit up and she felt her heart race all over again.
"DANIEL!" Betty ran over to him hugging him tightly practically making him lose his balance. She started kissing him passionately running her hands through his hair kissing him senseless. When she let go of him, he felt like he got the wind knocked out of him.
"Wow!" he looked at her in surprise. Before he had a chance to even respond to what happened she let go of him.
"Hurry up and get changed!" she said excitedly about to grab his clothes, when he pulled her back to him on the bed and started kissing her. She pushed off of him, but he grabbed her back capturing her lips. She finally pushed him loosening his grip on her. "Daniel, get up!" she laughed. "Not now, we have to go!"
"Where are we going? Why are you so...happy?" he said with a curious grin.
"You'll see!" she said with a huge bright smile.
He pulled her back to him and had his lips right next to her ear. "You can't kiss me like that" he said in that low sexy voice of his. She looked at his eyes "I can't?"
"Not unless you plan to finish what you start, missy" he was about to go in for a kiss, when she got up "not now! Come on, get up!" she pulled him up "Can you at least tell me why you are so happy?" he asked noticing that bright smile.
"Daniel! We're going to dinner with Amanda, Tyler and your mom, now hurry up!" she said picking his clothes again.
"And...There's some...something good." She said trying not to give away their secret just yet. "You can't give me a hint?" he asked coming up to her and kissing her neck.
"No, no, no, come on, hurry up!" she said pushing him into the restroom with his clothes.
"And you were worried Isabelle wasn't like you?" he joked.
"Daniel! Come on!"
"Okay! Geez..." he quickly got changed and made sure he looked good wearing the black pants and red dress shirt Betty handed him. "What's taking you so long?" Betty said standing by the door. He opened the door rather abruptly almost making her fall forward. He ended up catching her "Geez, you're impatient tonight. I was trying to look nice...honey!" he said sneaking a kiss to her cheek. She looked at him and then up to his eyes. "You look very nice...and smell really good" she said getting swept up by his closeness and those eyes of his.
He grinned seductively and was about to lean in for a kiss when she stood up grabbing his hand. "Let's go!"
He sighed. "Can't even get a kiss?" he asked as she practically dragged him out and down the stairs.
"You'll get a lot later, I promise"
"I better" he said grabbing her around her waist making them fall back on the stairs. "DANIEL!" she squealed as she fell back on top of him. He laughed hysterically. She turned on top of him and slapped his shoulder. "You're so bad!"
"Like I said...I need to be punished really bad, babe." He said with a grin. She slapped him again giggling. "Come on, get up" she took his hand pulling him up.
"What about Isabelle?" he asked as they got up
"I called Justin. He should be here in a few minutes."
"Okay. Cool, he's here?"
"Uh-huh!" she said excitedly. When they got to the foot of the stairs he grabbed her around her waist and held her really close. "Now, can you please tell me why you are so...excited and happy like this?" he kissed her cheek. She brought her hands to his face and kissed him. "There will be something...good. I can't tell you more."
"Whyy not-ta?" he whined making Betty laugh
"Daniel! Because...I promised... I wouldn't say anything."
He looked at her with a curious smile. She just smiled looking at his eyes with that...look, her sparkly, dreamy, happy look. He looked at her eyes intently getting swept by them, and then it clicked. "Oh my God, BETTY?" his eyes went wide. She smiled brighter and bit her lip.
"Are they? No way?" he tightened his grip around her. She smiled "I can't say anything..." she sent him that smile that said everything.
"Oh wow! That's awesome, sweetie!" He hugged her tight "They're really?" he held her face and kissed her deeply. "Does Tyler know?" he asked about ready to run a marathon he felt so happy. "No...she wanted tell all of us tonight...she told me, because she was a little scared to say anything."
He nodded in understanding "Ya that makes sense." He smiled bright looking at her sparkly misty eyes and placed his forehead against hers. "I love you"
She smiled wrapping her arms around him "I love you, too" just as she was about to kiss him the door swings open.
"Justin is in the house!" he said walking in the door with his fedora-style hat and 'cool' clothes. "JUSTIN" Betty ran up to him hugging him tight. "Oh my God, I miss you!"
Justin laughed. "I missed you, too, AB! We're going to have to do something while I'm here"
"Absolutely. Aww" She hugged him tightly. "AB, you're squishing me"
"Sorry" she loosened her hold on him. "Hey Justin. God, you're getting so big. You look great" Daniel said walking up to him. "Thanks Daniel" he hugged him
"So, how are things going with your job?" he asked curiously.
"They're great. I got to go to Milan last week for a fashion show...Marc and I are really taking off. We're getting calls left and right with clients that want to work with us."
"That's great. I knew you'd do well"
"Thanks Daniel."
"So, how's Marc, Justin? Amanda is always talking about how much she misses her bestie and that she doesn't see him that much anymore, even though she's on Skype with him every day" she laughed.
"He's good...and actually, he's here, too"
Betty and Daniel looked at each other with a shine in their eyes and wide smiles. "Where is he?" Betty asked excitedly looking back to him.
"You called" Marc said coming in the front door. "MARC!" Betty tackled him in a tight hug. "Okay, okay! Just because I like you now, doesn't mean you can go crazy with hugs!" he said trying to loosen her grip on him "oh shut up!" she just held him tighter. They all laughed. "Please, save me from the evil lady."
They all looked at him like he was insane, since he actually WORKED for the biggest 'evil lady' that existed. "Okay, okay, gosh. Sorry chimmichunga, I was just teasing you. Sheesh" He said looking at her. She smiled. "I know...it was just silly"
"That was the point." He shook his head rolling his eyes. "I missed you" Betty hugged him again. He smiled. "It's good to see you, Marc" Daniel shook his hand.
"Marc, you know, you have to come to dinner with us! Amanda would be so happy" Daniel said looking at Betty. She smiled letting go of Marc and taking Daniel's hand. "I'd love to see my Mandy. I miss my bestie."
They all smiled.
"JUST-IN! MARC!" Isabelle ran over when she saw them. "Belle" Justin picked her up hugging her tight. "Isabelle, sweetie, we're going to go now, okay. Be good for Justin." Betty said running her hand through her hair.
"Marc, you're not staying?" Isabelle asked looking at him. "No, sorry...I'm going to see Mandy."
"Okay." She looked slightly disappointed. Marc leaned next to her. "But, I'll come play dress up with you later." He whispered making her giggle making everyone else laugh because they heard him. "Okay" she said with a smile. He smiled and kissed her cheek. Isabelle blushed. She clearly didn't mind when Marc kissed her.
Betty looked at Daniel with that 'she's so cute' look. He squeezed her hand and kissed her cheek which made her blush. She most certainly didn't mind when Daniel kissed her. They both laughed.
"What are you two laughing at?" Marc asked looking at them. "YOU! Now, let's go" Betty pushed him to the door. "HEY!"
"Bye Justin" Betty kissed his cheek. "Have fun, AB."
"Be good, Isabelle, I love you, sweetie" Betty hugged her. "Okay. Bye mommy. Say hi to Mandy."
"I will." Betty smiled. "Okay princess, don't stay up too late, okay" he placed a kiss on her head. "Ok"
They all were on their way to the rather exciting dinner awaiting them.
