Chapter 10

Stephanie laid Cali down carefully in her crib trying no to wake her, she was looking forward to seeing Paul again, it was nice to have someone to hang out with again, and he made her feel safe, she walked out of Cali' room and grabbed the monitor taking it down stairs with her she sat it on the coffee table in the living room, Stephanie smiled when she heard the knock at the door and she walked over and answered it. Paul smiled at her.

"hey" he walked inside so she could close the door "you look nice" she smiled "thanks you don't look so bad your self" Paul chuckled "I hear quietness in the house"

Stephanie laughed softly "she's just gone down"

"so am I going to be alive by the time I get home" steph rolled her eyes at him "don't get too clever Lévesque" Paul smirked "hey I'm just asking the last time you cooked I ended up in bed for 2 days" Stephanie couldn't help but giggle

"well you're the one who wanted me to cook that meal, I told you I wasn't great at cooking back then" Paul shook his head "I wasn't expecting my girlfriend to give me food poisoning" Stephanie smirked and turned round to face him "maybe not but you loved me waiting on you hand and foot" Paul smiled at her cheekily "you did make a great nurse" Stephanie laughed and shook her head, "yea well don't be expecting it this time I'm a great cook now"

Paul chuckled "I'll let you know when I've eaten" Stephanie playfully whacked his arm Paul smiled and went sat down at the table whilst she dished up the food.

After dinner Paul and steph sat on the couch reminiscing on there old college days., Stephanie looked up into pauls eyes as she snuggled into his side

"do you think we'll ever have what he had back then" Paul looked at her brushing some hair from her face "I think that if we both want it then yes" Stephanie smiled at him softly "I want those feeling again" Paul smiled "me too but I'm not going to rush you"

Stephanie shrugged "I'm not so sure I'm bothered about taking it slow anymore, I just think that, it'll take time before we move in together and it'll take you time in becoming what ever you become to Cali"

Paul smiled "so what does that mean then" Stephanie sat and thought about it.

"I don't know I guess it means we are officially dating on a more serious level maybe" Paul chuckled "maybe huh"

Stephanie nodded her head "I can work with that, and I won't be rushing little Cali, kids can get mean when you do that" Stephanie couldn't help but laugh "my daughter is not mean thank you" Paul smirked "are you sure, does she have temper" Stephanie gave Paul a look "I do not have a mean temper" she slapped his thigh playfully.

The phone then started to ring interrupting there conversation Stephanie sighed as she got up to answer it.

"hello" she then walked back over to the couch and sat back down next to Paul.

"hi Stephanie" Stephanie rolled her eyes at Paul "hi mum what can I do for you" Paul chuckled and shook his head at steph.

"I was just ringing you to see how my granddaughter is your dad said she's been teething a lot"

"yea she has but its settled down a bit now, she's sleeping" as Stephanie talked to her mum on the phone Paul kept tickling her sides and goofing off.

Linda frowned when she heard the giggling "I thought you said Cali was in bed"

"yea she is that's just Paul been silly" Linda smiled "ooohhhh I see Pauls there" Stephanie couldn't help but be annoyed by her mums comment.

"its not like that mum we just had dinner that's all" Linda nodded her head "ok then, so when do I get to see Cali for the weekend again you know we love having her over"

Stephanie smiled at Paul this was the perfect opportunity to bring up the wedding "well Paul invited me to a wedding on his mums side of the family, so I was wondering if you would take Cali for the weekend then"

"invited you, you mean you're his date" Stephanie rolled his eyes "yes ok mum yes we are dating, now do you want to watch Cali for the weekend"

"of course we will sweetie"

Linda grilled Stephanie a little more about Paul much to Stephanie amusement, her family always managed to weasel there way into the dating conversation some how and she some times wished they'd leave her be now she'd actually found that person again

Paul chuckled as she set the phone back down on the hook "mummy giving you a hard time about your dating skills"

Stephanie rolled her eyes and nodded "yes, you'd think they'd quit it" Paul shrugged "if there's one thing I learnt from my parents when they did that, its that they just want the best person for you to spend the rest of your life with"

"yea I guess you could look at it that way" Paul chuckled "when they realise your happy they'll stop"

Stephanie smiled "well that will be next week when you come with me to drop Cali off"

Paul chuckled "you know they'll grill me right" steph nodded "I know, its not like they don't know you already"

"knowing me I think is worse than not knowing me" Stephanie laughed "I'm sure my dads told you not to give up on me, I know what he's like"

Paul nodded "a lot more than I thought apparently". Stephanie smiled "I know what my dad secretly wants" Paul smirked "oh yea and what's that" Stephanie shrugged her shoulders "he wants me to be with someone who can take care of me and Cali, and I guess he believes your that someone"

Paul smiled shyly he didn't realise Vince thought so highly of him "and what about you" Stephanie smiled at him "I'm keeping that to my self" Paul chuckled "that's ok I know what your probably thinking already " Stephanie smirked she wasn't going to say it anytime soon.

The next week went buy pretty fast and before Stephanie knew it Paul was on his way to hers to pick her and Cali up before they took Cali to her parents for the weekend, it had been a while since steph had left her for the whole weekend Cali usually went everywhere with her a part from work so Paul was going to be in for a tough ride on the trip there. Stephanie made sure she had packed everything needed for Cali, she grabbed Cali from the play room and took her with her out side to get her car seat from her car as she struggled to get the seat out of the back Paul was just pulling up on the drive, she stopped for a second and waved before going back to trying to get the car seat from her car, Paul chuckled at her as he got out of his car.

Stephanie turned round and put her hand on hip "what are you laughing at" Paul smirked trying his best not to laugh "you want me to take her while you get the seat out"

Stephanie nodded "that would help yea"

Paul took Cali from Stephanie and the little girl frowned at Paul and started Pouting Paul shook his head "oh no don't start the tears on me" Stephanie giggled as she pulled the car seat out.

"hey its not funny you know" Stephanie smiled "serves your right for laughing at her mummy, huh Cali" Paul chuckled "I couldn't help it, if you'd have waited I would have got it out when I got here" Stephanie handed over the seat to Paul "you can fix it in the back, and for the recorded I was joking she's been cranky all morning" Paul chuckled "teething again huh" Stephanie nodded "yea my mum will have fun with her today" Paul smiled and handed over Cali to her before walking over to his car and securing the car seat firmly.

Steph went back inside and sat Cali on her bed so she could check she her self had everything she needed for the weekend.

After checking her bag she picked up Cali and grabbed her making her way down stairs and out of the door.

Paul shook his head when she walked out "steph , you do know its only for the weekend right" Stephanie nodded her head as she handed him her back "yea I do" Paul put the bag in the boot of his car "then why is the bag so big and heavy " Stephanie shrugged "I'm a woman so sue me" Paul laughed and nodded as steph got Cali fastened in her seat.

They had a long drive ahead of them and after dropping Cali off at Linda and Vince' they set off down the free way. A few hours later they arrived at the hotel, Paul had phoned his parents to let them know they were here steph was looking forward to meeting with Pauls Parents before the wedding again.

Stephanie sighed as she flopped down on the bed she was ready for an early night, those nights didn't come very often for her, she was glad she had settled on her decision to be in separate rooms she didn't feel comfortable in been in the same room with Paul at night and she figured it would take the awkwardness from anything. She went into the bath room and ran her self a bath with lots of bubbles in it she couldn't wait to relax for the evening.

Paul sighed as he stared out of his window the view was amazing, he walked over to his bed and laid back against the pillow as he switched on the TV he was nervous about tomorrow there would be a lot of familiar faces around and he hoped everything went well.
