Star and Marco watched as Megan slept on the bed. Star sighed and looked down at the band around her finger, "Okay Star, I'll bite, what's wrong with it?" Star looked up at her best friend in confusion and Marco slightly smirked, "If you don't like it, I can get you a new one and…"
"No, it's not that but…how did you get this? We've barely been apart last week and I doubt you bought it while Megan was still with us…I mean, you didn't know how I felt about you and if I didn't feel the same, it would've been a waste of money and…"
"Star, deep breaths," Star took a couple of deep breaths before letting out a heavy sigh, "Better?" Star smiled and nodded, "Alright…I uh…I stopped at a jewelry store before getting here and picked up the ring and in all honesty, I was hoping you'd say yes."
Star smiled and rolled her eyes, "Dork," Marco smirked and wrapped an arm around and Star rested her head on his shoulder and the two of them looked at their adopted daughter as she soundly slept, "I can't imagine the hell they put her through while she was forced to stay with those horrid people, but it's a good thing we got her back and Jessica and her fiancée are going to prison for what they did to her,"
"Yeah, hopefully everything can go back to normal when we take her home tomorrow," Star hummed and nodded before yawning and Marco half smiled, "Why don't you lay down next to her and get some sleep. I'm going to be up for a while anyway,"
"Yeah, alright," Star yawned again and kissed his cheek before standing up and walked over to the bed and laid down next to her adopted, "Goodnight Marco, I love you,"
"I love you too, Star," Star smiled and yawned before closing her eyes and fell asleep. Marco smiled and sat back and crossed his arms as he watched the two sleep.
Megan looked out the back window of the SUV as she watched the houses and cars pass by. Star looked back and slightly smiled, "Are you okay, baby girl?"
"Yes, mommy," Megan looked up and smiled, "Are we going home?"
"Not yet, Megan," Marco smirked and looked through the rearview mirror, "Your grandparents, Aunt Janna, Aunt Jackie, Uncle Oskar and Uncle Blake want to see you."
"What about Aunt Salina and Uncle Tom?"
"They went away for a week, but don't worry sweetie, you can see them when they get home." Megan frowned and Star softly smiled, "Don't worry baby girl, you're going to see your other aunts and uncles and your grandparents." Megan smiled and nodded and Star turned around and looked down at the ring that dawned her finger.
Marco looked at his fiancée and smirked, "Are you okay, Estrella?"
"I'm just a little worried about all this. Our parents weren't completely comfortable with Megan when we first adopted her and if they learn that we're engaged, who knows what will happen and…"
"And you're overthinking this, Star," Marco chuckled and shook his head, "Think about it for a minute, what were our moms setting out to do since we were eight?" Star's eyes widened and a light pink hue crossed her cheeks, "So I doubt our parents will be against any of this." Star sighed and nodded before the car ride fell silent.
The party was in full swing with music pouring from the speakers and everyone laughed and celebrated. Star leaned over towards Marco and whispered in his ear. Marco nodded and the two of them walked up to the radio. Turning the music off, everyone looked at them and Star smiled, "Everyone, we have two things to celebrate today," everyone looked confused and Star waved Megan over, "Come here baby girl," Megan smiled and walked over to the two.
They looked up and Marco smirked, "Early yesterday morning, Star and I met up with a caseworker at the home of Jessica Heinous and Michael Williams and after small heated fight, we found Megan and she is legally ours and we'd like to thank everyone for their support during the time Megan was living will Jessica and Michael."
Everyone cheered and Jackie called out, "And what's the other thing we're celebrating?"
The room fell silent and Star sighed and a small smile crossed her lips, "Yesterday while we were at the hospital, Marco pulled me aside and he proposed to me and I said yes," everyone stared at them in shock and Sar and Marco frowned, "Uh…aren't you guys going to say…" before Star could finish, the room erupted with cheers and Star breathed a sigh of relief before the three of them joined in the celebration.
The celebration slowly came to an end and Star's parents and Marco's parents walked over to them as Marco picked up the exhausted child up from the couch, "Kids," they looked backed and their faces paled and Angie sighed and shook her head, "Normally we would tell you two that you're too young to be getting married, but as you two know, Moon and I have been trying to get you two together for a while now and you two have proven that you care for each other and for Megan…well, welcome to the family, hija," Angie hugged Star and Star smiled and hugged her back.
"Marco," Marco looked at Star's parents and Moon sighed and carefully hugged him, "Take care of my daughter, and welcome to the family,"
Marco sighed and nodded, "Yeah, okay Mrs. Butterfly," Marco looked at his fiancée and slightly smiled, "Ready to go home, Estrella,"
"Yeah," Star smiled and looked at the four adults and walked up next to Marco, "We'll be back tomorrow. We just want to spend some time with Megan," the four nodded and the family of three left.
Star looked back from the passenger seat and smiled as she watched Megan slowly begin to fall asleep, "Tired?" Megan rubbed her eyes and shook her head, "I know baby girl, we'll be home soon though," Megan yawned and nodded.
