"So I think everyone had fun. The kids are out cold, that's always a good sign," she said. He looked over to the blanket where Isabella and Joey were still sleeping. They looked angelic. No one would know that they had just terrorized the small Brooklyn park for hours.

"It was a good idea to have the party here, even though I don't think Joey knew it was his birthday."

"He is only one. At this age it's really an excuse for the adults to have cupcakes."

"You look real pretty, you know that?" He watched as she gathered the extra cupcakes and placed them into the Tupperware. She licked the icing off of her finger before looking at him.

"Such flattery, Mr. Messer. A girl might think you have an ulterior motive."

"Come here," he said as he pulled her close. His hands tickled down the column of her throat and he threaded the silver chain from under her shirt, "I want to see it." He fingered the platinum band that hung on the thin chain. It had been hiding for a week. Their secret. He doubted anyone would believe them if they told them. He was surprised that Stella hadn't spotted any new form of jewelry though.

"Your Ma's going to kill us. For the last few years all I've heard is how Father Michael was still willing to marry us in the church, even though we've been cohabitating AND have had children out of wedlock."

"Oh no you're right, she's gonna kill me," he said before sighing dramatically. "I don't know if you realize this, but I'm afraid of my mother. Maybe we should go on our honeymoon first."

His hands wound into her loose curls. His fingertips caressed her skin and rubbed the tension out of her neck.

"A real honeymoon huh? Would there be a beach involved? Cause I've been spying this little bikini you might like to see me in," she said as she settled on him, straddling his lap.

"Sure, beach," he said, quite distracted.

She kissed above his collar bone.

"It would be romantic."

She kissed below his ear and smiled against his skin when she heard him moan.

"Sexy. "

She kissed his lips sweetly.

"When do we go?"

"How's tomorrow sound?" he said instantly.

"Sounds good but what about the kids?" Her hands running up and down his chest.

"I have an idea. We tell my Ma that we finally tied the knot, leave the kids with her and take off before she can cuff me on the back of the head."

"You've got it all planned out." He closed his eyes as her hands caressed his face, as her fingertips traced his jaw line.

"I really do," he said quietly before adding cheekily, "besides I heard a promise of a tiny bikini."

She still sat on his lap. Wrapped in each other. Her forehead rested against his. Danny fingered her band again, before he reached around and unclasped the necklace. The ring sparkled when it caught the light as it hit his palm. He lightly grasped her left hand and slid the ring onto her finger. He took the plain silver band that was on his right hand, and moved it to his left.

"There, Mrs. Messer. Perfect," he said.

She smiled.

"Perfect."
