Jac's heart began to thump she hugged Isabelle tight and kissed the top of her head
"I love you too sweetie" said Jac Isabelle yawned and her breathing went heaving. "Isabelle no hunnie don't go to sleep" Isabelle lifted her head
"Why not mummy I'm tired" said Isabelle rubbing her eyes
"It will be bed time soon" said Jac "Now what would you like for dinner"
"Fish fingers please" said Isabelle following Jac into the kitchen
"I don't think I have any" said Jac rummaging through the freezer just as the bell rung Jac went to answer the door it was Joseph armed with two pizza boxes and a bottle of wine and a bottle of lemonade.
"Hi Jac I thought I'd have dinner with my two favourite girls" said Joseph just then Isabelle came running through to the hall way.
"JOSEPH" shouted Isabelle Joseph handed the boxes and bottles to Jac and scooped Isabelle up
"Hello Isabelle" said Joseph "I brought pizza"
"Yeah lets eat" said Isabelle Joseph put her down and they all went into the sitting room and tucked into the pizza. Once they where finished eating Jac put the pizza boxes into the outside bin when she went back inside she found Isabelle and Joseph having a play fight.
"Ok you two that's enough" said Jac "Isabelle time to get ready for bed"
"Ok Mummy" said Isabelle and she headed upstairs Joseph watched until Isabelle was out of sight then he turned to Jac
"When did she start calling you mummy" asked Joseph taking a swig of his wine
"Today after you dropped us off" said Jac "I'm going to put her into St Mary's school"
"That's great so you cleared up the whole school thing" said Joseph just as Isabelle came bounding into the room.
"I'm ready for bed mummy" said Isabelle with a yawn Jac looked at her watch it said half past eight
"Right off to bed with you" said Jac
"No" said Isabelle crossing her arms
"Excuse me young lady I said off to bed now" said Jac
"I said NO" said Isabelle "I want to stay up with Joseph"
"Isabelle your mother says it's time for bed" said Joseph "How about I tuck you in and read you a story"
"No I'm not going to bed I'm not tired" said Isabelle yawning
"Yes you are" said Jac "Come on" she picked Isabelle up and carried her upstairs.
While Jac was sorting Isabelle Joseph put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box he refilled the wine glasses and waited for Jac to come back down stairs ten minutes later Jac came down the stairs smiling.
"Fast asleep I take it" said Joseph handing Jac her glass.
"Yep out like a light bless her" said Jac walking into the sitting room and sitting down.
"Jac now Isabelle's asleep I would like to ask you something" said Joseph he grabbed the box from the table and got down on one knee in front of Jac. Jac's heart began to race she had been dreaming of this moment for a long time. "Jac Naylor I love you and Isabelle with all my heart will you do me the honner of being my wife" Jac smiled and a single tear rolled down her cheek.
"Yes I will" said Jac and Joseph slipped the white gold diamond ring onto Jac's finger. For the first time in her life Jac Naylor felt like she was the luckiest person in the world.
The End
