Hi my loves! I hope you enjoy this! HAPPY EARLY HALLOWEEEN! :D hehe
For entertainment only! :P
October: The Enchanting Hour
Daniel looked at himself in the mirror as he slipped on the Royal blue jacket to his costume. He was finding it kind of cool; he felt royal. He couldn't wait to see how Betty would look in her costume. He knew she'd look beautiful.
He had originally wanted to be a pirate or James Bond for Halloween, but when Betty asked if they could be Beauty and the Beast – or rather, Belle and the Prince – he was a little hesitant. He didn't know how to say no to her, though. However, when he saw how awesome the costumes turned out that Christina made for them he actually got excited. He couldn't wait to see his love, his belle; he was sure she looked gorgeous. "Hey Betty, I'm ready, honey, whenever you are" he called to her. She was in the bathroom getting dressed; he guessed it was so she could surprise him... and, hell, it was mostly because he kept 'attacking' her when she was starting to get ready. He couldn't help it! Especially when his wife was such a smoking hot Latina with a killer smile and curvy sexy body.
"Ok, I'm coming" she called back. When she opened the door, he looked to her and his heart skipped a beat. His wife looked so incredibly beautiful and stunning, he felt like the luckiest guy and like he really was married to a princess, his belle.
"Wow, you look so gorgeous, Betty" he said taking in the stunning dress she was wearing. And her hair looked beautiful, too. It was all down in long lustrous waves, and so silky and glossy. And the light makeup she applied had her practically glowing. She looked breathtaking.
Betty bit her lip as she looked at him. She felt so many butterflies. She'd been feeling that way for a few weeks now. At first she thought it was because her dream of having her own magazine was coming true; then she wondered if it was because Daniel was just such an amazing husband, but now, she wondered if it was due to something else entirely.
Seeing Daniel looking so incredible and gorgeous only seemed to intensify those butterflies she was having flutter about inside her. She took a breath and said "You do look really handsome, yourself, Daniel"
"Thanks" he grinned, flashing his perfect smile. He stepped closer to her "Man, I feel like we are going to be way out of place. It feels like we should be going to a ball not a company Halloween party." He said feeling sort of as if they were royals going to some dinky party. Betty blushed "I didn't expect Christina to make the costumes look so...elegant."
He nodded "Me too. I expected something completely different, but... hey" he placed his hand to her waist "I like it. You look perfect. You're seriously glowing, honey, God." He said hoping that he'd be able to behave himself tonight. He wasn't sure he could when his wife was looking so incredibly smashing right now.
She bit her lip "Really?" she asked, her eyes getting bright and pretty. He nodded with a smile "Seriously, I think I need to leave this room ASAP before I attack you again."
She laughed, but he was serious and started walking out.
Betty took a deep breath and looked to what she was holding onto so tightly.
Just as Daniel walked out of their room, a high pitched squeal escaped his wife "EEEEEEEEE!"
He rushed in wondering what happened "What?" he asked as he rushed over to her. She was jumping up and down, a bright smile on her face while waving something around "Daniel! Daniel! Oh my God! AHAHHA! EEE! We're having, oh my god, oh my god ehheeeh!" she continued to jump up and down, the most luminous smile he'd ever seen from her.
He couldn't understand what she was trying to say, though "What?"
"Ehheheee" She placed her hand to her mouth for a moment trying to calm down, but then she laughed "We're having a babbyyyy!"
His eyes went wide, a bright surprised smile spreading his face "What?"
She was smiling so big, her smile was practically luminescent at this point. She was still jumping "I'm pregnant! And we're having a babyyyayayayy eeeee!"
He grinned "We're having a baby?!" he asked feeling shocked and amazed.
She squealed "We're having a baby!"
"YEAHH!" he quickly embraced her with a spin making her laugh. He hugged her so tight "I'm so happy! We're having a baby?" he stated again in amazement
She hugged him tighter, and whispered "we're having a baby"
He moved back and looked at her face, her eyes were watering, and she just looked so cute and adorable. She bit her lip and smiled at him again. And he couldn't help it he laughed and hugged her again lifting her up as he twirled her this time. "This is the best!"
Betty felt the tears in her eyes. She was so happy. And seeing how happy Daniel was just made her heart flutter. He was just so cute.
When he let her down, he held onto her but slid to the floor and hugged her midsection.
Tears fell down her face, and she felt her heart race, while those butterflies seemed to be going rather crazy. When Daniel looked up at her he smiled bright "You're amazing. We have a baby in here" he stated as he placed his hand on her now flat stomach. She nodded, tears sliding down her face.
He smiled and stood up, looking at her pretty eyes, unable to keep his eyes from tearing up a bit. The feeling of having a baby with the love of his life just made his heart expand. "We're having a baby" he stated again in fascination.
She nodded, and seeing the glossiness in his eyes caused her to tear up again. He held her face "I love you so much"
She nodded and wrapped her arms around him in a hug "I love you, too!"
They remained hugging for a moment in silence letting the great news seep in. He laughed in realization "Hey, I told you our little rugrat would chose the perfect time. You love Halloween."
She laughed "That's true! Awesome!"
"I can't wait to tell everybody!" he said excitedly. She held his arms, and moved back to look at him "Oh, but Daniel, can we not tell anyone just yet? I just...I want this to be our secret. Please?"
He shrugged "Alright, that's fine. I just don't know if I can keep back my excitement. I'm sure someone will notice."
She laughed, but seeing the smile on his face made her so happy she squealed "Yayyyy!"
He laughed and held his hands up. She giggled and slapped them playfully. They held onto each other's hands and stared at each other for a moment.
As Daniel looked at her with those blue spellbinding eyes of his shining in marvel, she felt so happy.
"Wow. We're finally having a baby" he stated in awe.
She nodded, her eyes tearing up again having that same thought.
Daniel knew how sad Betty was getting every time she took a test and got a negative result. He was so happy that she was so happy. He shook his head "Dang, it really sucks that we have to go to a party right now. All I want to do is hug and kiss you all night!" he said causing her to smile, a rosy blush tinting her face. She just looked so perfect and cute.
"We don't have to go" she stated. He shook his head "No, come on, honey. We look way too awesome to stay at home."
She laughed as he said that. It was true. They did look rather amazing, especially Daniel, her handsome husband. He was so gorgeous as a prince, not that he wasn't always gorgeous. She kind of wished he wasn't so sensible right now because all she wanted to do was undress him and have her way with him.
She was snapped out of her fantasizing about her husband when he said "Hey, if anything, maybe we can just go for an hour or two and come right back. Huh?"
She nodded unable to stop staring at him. He was just so perfect. "Ok"
The whole way to the party they were smiling like a couple of jokers, their smiles were so big. And when they reached MEADE, Daniel laughed "God, I really don't know if I can make it" he stated truthfully.
She laughed "I don't know if I can either"
He grinned as he looked at her, her eyes were so sparkly and bright, her happiness reflected in them, her smile was as gorgeous as ever. All he wanted to do was kiss her, she looked so incredible. "God Betty, how am I supposed to keep my hands off you? You look amazing!"
Betty felt her cheeks expand from smiling so much. Daniel wasn't making it any easier to hide their little secret. Especially, when he was the one who was looking so amazing! It truly wasn't fair how attractive her husband was with those blue eyes of his even more dazzling as they mirrored the blueness of his costume. He looked sincerely charming. And with that smile of his being so bright, it made her feelings irrepressible.
She didn't realize she let out a sigh as she stared at him. He grinned brightly. "God, I love you so freaking much!" is what he said before his lips were on hers in an instant like a vampire drawn to blood. He grasped her face in his hands deepening the kiss taking her breath away.
Daniel could not contain his ever-growing love for his beautiful wife. She was breathtaking, and seeing her get enamored with him just as much as she captivated him set his heart soaring. It was like her love unleashed a spell on him.
And now, they were having a baby. He couldn't feel happier. As he left her lips he looked at her eyes and let out a sigh "You're so irresistible, Betty!"
She laughed "Daniel, you're insane. You are irresistible. I feel completely infatuated with you right now. I really don't want to go to this party. I just want to be at home in our bed celebrating our little baby" she said with a smile.
He grinned, and she giggled but continued "I think you're right, though. We should show off a little, I suppose."
He laughed "Whatever you want to do my beautiful wife-y"
As they got out of the town car, Daniel placed his hand to her waist and had his lips near her ear as he whispered "I gotta say rolling around in our bed with you sounds way more fun than this party right now" his voice driving her just a bit crazy.
They both took a deep breath as they entered the MEADE building trying their best to remain calm, although they both couldn't keep the goofy smiles they had off their faces. "We're so gonna get busted" he stated causing her to laugh.
When they walked in they were both surprised at how extravagant everything was. The entire lobby and staircase was decorated to look like an old haunted house. It was very cool. There were cobwebs and orange lights strung along railings; there was lively music, Halloween themed treats, huge bowls of candy, it was dark and there was a fog machine, MEADE employees dressed in costume. It was spectacular.
"Woww" they both said looking to each other in awe. "Man, our kid would love this!" Daniel stated in thought.
"DANIEL!" Betty placed her hand over his mouth, her eyes wide at his slip.
He gave her a sheepish smile "Sorry"
She laughed "You're lucky no one was around to hear you" she said in a quiet voice.
"I'm sorry, but man, I'm so happy."
She laughed "Do you want to tell everyone?" she asked. She didn't know why but she wanted to keep it a surprise for a while, at least until she couldn't hide it anymore.
He shook his head "Ok, ok, I'll try my best. I promise. We can do this!"
She hooked her arm through his "Ok" They walked through and off to their side somewhere they heard an "OMG! You both look amazing!"
"Justin!" they both exclaimed in surprise. "What are you doing here?" Betty asked surprised to see her nephew here; she realized if it wasn't for his voice, she would have had a difficult time noticing him. He had a white mask covering half of his face. He was wearing a black tuxedo and what looked like a cape.
"I'm the phantom of the Opera! Marc invited me" he said with a grin. Betty laughed "We should have known that. Huh, Daniel?" when she looked to him she couldn't help the huge smile that swept her face.
He looked at her curiously, but said "Yea"
Justin looked at them observantly for a moment. Betty bit her lip as she got lost in Daniel, unable to stop her smile from spreading. It was ridiculous. She figured it was because they were trying to keep their new development a secret.
Daniel leaned close to her and gave her a cute smile "Stop it, Betty"
Justin was watching them, a grin on his face. He always knew they were addicted to each other, but it seemed that when they became a couple they were nuts about each other. "I'm going to find Austin." He shook his head seeing they were obviously distracted by each other. He laughed "See ya. Have fun"
Betty seemed to snap out of her trance when he started to walk away "Oh, sorry Justin! Have fun. I love you!"
He laughed shaking his head "Ya, I love you, too, AB. You are both terrible at keeping secrets" he said with a wink before he walked away. Betty and Daniel looked on in shock "Did he really just figure it out?" Daniel asked. He always saw how bright and intuitive Justin was, but dang how could he know?
Betty bit her lip looking at Daniel as he looked completely flustered that Justin was able to decipher their secret. "It's my fault. It was written all over my face." she said guiltily.
"You don't think he'll tell, do you?" he asked knowing how close he was to Marc.
Betty shrugged "I don't think he will."
Daniel placed his hands to her waist and looked at her with a smile. "Why are you so cute? Stop giving me that smile! I can't take it!"
She blushed "I can't help it. I'm way too happy. And seeing your face just makes me feel happier"
He smiled her words incredibly sweet "we can do this!"
She took a breath "ok"
As they walked around trying to find people they knew, they received quite a bit of compliments on their costumes. Betty wished Christina was in NY. She had to send her lots of pictures of them in costume.
"Hey, look at that slutty pirate stealing candy over there?" Daniel said with a laugh. Betty giggled. It was quite funny, especially because she was a pirate. When they were able to see the pirate's face they both laughed and called "Amanda!" She was by one of the large candy bowls displayed, snagging candy, apparently.
Her eyes went wide when she spotted them "WOW! Look at you two! You look amazing, Betty. So pretty!"
"Aww thanks, Amanda. You look great, too" Betty hugged her, but couldn't help her laugh at Daniel's comment.
"Thanks" Amanda looked to Daniel with a grin "Don't you look hot"
As she said that Tyler came up dressed as a pirate, as well, and said "Hey! Mandy, I thought I was hot."
She nodded with a bright smile "You are. Very sexy"
Betty and Daniel looked to each other shaking their heads trying not to laugh. Daniel placed his hand to Betty's waist "Do you want me to get you anything to drink, sweetie?"
She smiled "ok"
He nodded, shooting her a wink right before he started walking away, but she pulled him back to kiss him on the cheek. He looked at her with a smile "Stop being so cute!" he said tapping her cheek playfully and was back on his way to get some drinks.
Betty watched him for a moment until he disappeared through a crowd of people. He was just so gorgeous and sweet. When she looked back to Amanda, she and Tyler had huge grins on their faces. Betty blushed "What?"
Amanda grinned "Something's going on with you two!"
Betty blushed further "No!" she was a terrible liar. How was this going to work?
Tyler put his arm around Amanda's shoulder and said "look how big her smile is" he had a teasing playful tone that caused Betty to look down, feeling a bit flustered, but she still couldn't smack the smile off her face and her cheeks from reddening.
"Oo, what is it, Betty? Seriously, you're looking fabulous. Is that why you're in a good mood, because you look pretty? What's got you all glow-y and happy?"
Betty felt her smile broaden "It's nothing"
Amanda placed her hands on her hips "Liar! Oo! Did you and Daniel do it before you got here? That's hot."
"Amanda! Stop!"
Tyler laughed "Aw, let's stop picking on Betty."
"Aw, but it's so fun! It makes her all nervous and embarrassed." Amanda gave Betty a mischievous smirk. Betty stuck her tongue out at Amanda.
On the way to get drinks for him and Betty, Daniel spotted Wilhelmina. She was dressed as a 'glamorous white witch'. As he saw her he couldn't help his strangely positive reaction to spotting her "Wilhelmina! Hey!"
When she was stopped by him she looked at him oddly "Daniel?"
He hugged her quickly and said "It's been so long! You look good"
She simply stared at him in shock.
"Oh, uh by the way, you're doing an excellent job at MODE. I'm very impressed. Keep up the good work. Great costume, you look nice." he stated his positive words and bright smile causing her to look at him with a wary look "Are you drunk?"
He laughed shaking his head "no, just happy. Very, very happy"
"Well, don't be! It's repulsive. You've become more and more like Suarez. Just because it is Halloween, doesn't mean you can go around scaring me with your niceness! Get lost!" she felt weird having him be so nice to her.
Daniel laughed "That's great." he gave her a pat on her shoulder as he walked away leaving behind a very confused Wilhelmina Slater.
When Daniel got to where the drinks were he found it was actually a great spot to see Betty from. He smiled as he saw her talking to Amanda and Tyler. She was so beautiful. As he was about to pour some fruit punch, he decided against it. He wasn't sure if it was spiked or not. He didn't want to take any chances. So he decided on a bottle of water for Betty and coke for himself. "Hey there, Prince charming, Sir Marc Saint James at your service"
Daniel looked to the person "Marc! What the hell? Were you just hitting on me? I'm not gay!"
Marc grinned "That's too bad."
Daniel made a face "What do you want? I'm busy!" he said as he looked in the direction of where Betty was and couldn't help his smile. Marc watched him curiously. "Why are you grinning like a clown? That's not very flattering to a prince"
Daniel sighed "I'm in love."
"With who?" Marc asked in surprise.
"My wife! Who else?"
Marc rolled his eyes "Still?"
Daniel looked at him this time "Yes!"
"Prada, I thought that was a phase. Where is chimmichunga?" Marc asked wondering where his ill-fashioned butterfly was. Daniel grinned "She's no chimmichunga, Marc, that's for damn sure! What? You're not dressed as Betty this year?" Daniel asked, glad he wasn't or he'd be forced to inflict pain on his associate. Daniel wasn't sure if Marc was supposed to be a knight or tin foil. He was so shiny.
Marc shook his head "Nah, it's not as fun anymore. Since she's gone all hot-tamale on everyone."
Daniel smirked "Betty's over by the stairwell next to the candy bowl."
Marc rolled his eyes "of course!"
Daniel smacked his arm "Hey! For your information, we saw Amanda stealing candy there!"
Marc rubbed his arm "Ow, I thought Prince Charming was a gentleman"
"Not when you insult my wife!"
Marc gave Daniel a suspicious look, but looked to where he said his CHIMMICHUNGA was. When he spotted her, at least he thought it was her, his mouth dropped open and his eyes went wide. Daniel smirked but in a mock-scolding tone said "Stop staring at my wife!" he took the drinks and left Marc stunned. Daniel couldn't help his laugh as he walked away. This was turning out to be a great night.
When he approached Betty, she looked to him instantly "Daniel!" the way she said his name and the hug she gave him as he approached her had made his heart skip. He placed his arms around her and looked at her eyes with smile "Stop being so cute! You nearly gave Marc a heart attack."
Betty laughed "What?"
Daniel shook his head "He was hitting on me!" he stated in a horrified tone. Betty giggled "Well, I can't blame him, you're very sexy."
Daniel grinned "You're spectacular." He let go of her to hold out the drinks "I got water and soda. What do you want?"
She looked at the drinks for a moment, but then looked to him, and smiled "Can we dance?"
He smiled "Sure, we can. Hang on" he handed Tyler and Amanda the drinks he got "Hey!"
When Daniel looked to Betty he took her hand and got on his knee. That caused an admiring smile to sweep her face. "My beautiful Belle, will you dance with me?" he said going along with their charade of being royal.
Betty nodded with a bright smile. He placed a kiss to her hand and stood up leading her to the center where people were dancing. Betty felt completely swept in Daniel's bewitching charm. He was so handsome and perfect and sweet. She felt so excited and happy that they were married and they were finally having a little baby together. Her eyes were getting glossy as she danced with him sure that her smile was still rather silly and bright. As Daniel looked at her with those breathtaking eyes of his, she felt like they were the only two people in the world in this moment.
Daniel was in complete love with his date. Of course he was married to her. However, he was positive that if he had been single at this party and had seen Betty he would have fallen in love at first sight with her.
She looked so incredible and gorgeous. The glow of happiness that emanated from her was spell-binding. Her smile was as radiant and beautiful as the moon.
As he twirled her she laughed, that smile of hers a beacon of light in this 'dark' party.
He noticed that they'd generate an audience from their friends. And Wilhelmina
"What is with those two? Why are they so happy? More than usual" Wilhelmina was truly concerned.
"I think they're plotting to take over the world together" Marc stated, honestly thinking they probably could if they wanted to.
Amanda grinned "They're hiding something"
Tyler shook his head "You always think that!"
"Look at them!" She shot back, sure there was some specific reason they were that happy. Justin had come up next to Marc with Austin "They're just obsessed with each other" he said with a grin knowing the real reason. He was really excited.
When Betty noticed their friends and her nephew watching them dance, normally she would have been perhaps a little embarrassed, but she was way too happy and said "Come on, you guys, dance with us!"
Amanda and Tyler quickly began to dance together, Justin came over to Betty and hugged her "I'm so happy for you, AB"
Betty hugged him tight "Thanks Justin. Can you not tell anyone, please?" she said in a whisper.
He nodded "You got it. I'm so excited!" he said happily. Betty looked to Daniel and he smiled at her. "We are, too"
Justin smiled with a nod, then went over to Austin, while Betty noticed Wilhelmina just standing around. She went over to her "Wilhelmina, dance with us. I'm sure you're a great dancer" Betty said with a smirk.
Wilhelmina looked at her with a wary glare. "I do not dance"
Betty shrugged "Alright." She walked back over to Daniel and looked at him with a small smile. He smiled as he placed his hands to her waist "You're the best" Just as he was about to kiss her, he grinned and said "hey, look!"
A huge smile swept Betty's face when Wilhelmina was dancing, and Marc was of course praising her. As she did a beautiful twirl the white and gold shimmery skirt of her dress cascaded around her so beautifully. She looked like a ballroom dancer or ballerina. When she stopped she gave Marc a grin who hugged her.
Everyone looked at the display in shock. Marc realized what he did and let go of her immediately. When he did there was a moment of tense silence when all the sudden she laughed "Don't look so spooked, Marc. It's a party" she stated. Marc exhaled his deep breath of fear and looked at her with a grin, while everyone else clapped "Yeah Wilhelmina!" Betty cheered.
Everyone was having fun dancing with each other. Daniel pulled Betty to him by her waist causing her to look at him in surprise. He grinned "You're amazing! You got Wilhelmina to dance." He stated in awe, sure he'd never seen that woman be so free in her life.
Betty bit her lip, looking at his eyes. He smiled and twirled her causing her to laugh, and when he dipped her she looked at him with wide bright eyes that were practically sparkling, and that beaming smile, as she lifted her hands to his face.
He smiled brightly "You really are the most spectacular belle. You've cast a spell on every one of us, Betty."
She looked at him with glossy eyes, feeling butterflies at his words and the feeling he was giving her.
He looked into her eyes. "I love you so much, my beautiful enchantress"
A tear slid down her face "I love you, Daniel" she pulled him down for a kiss, feeling so incredible that she had her Daniel, her prince, love her so much. And they had a little baby as symbol of that love. She felt beyond happy and loved.
When Daniel pulled Betty back up, he spun them as he hugged her making her laugh. He laughed finding her joy infectious. She was beautiful and stunning and he couldn't wait to tell everyone about their little surprise. A perfect Halloween surprise.
AN: Have a great day/night! Thanks for reading! :D
