I'm home! Back from watching "Whisper". LOL. Anyway, I have just chatted with CM Punk and Maria! They're so cool. I still disclaim, as usual.

XOXOXOXOXO

"What do you mean the rest of the conversation?" Cassandra asked. She rolled on the other side so she wasn't facing Lilian. It will just make her cry. "You wanted to get rid of me."

"If wanted to get rid of you, why would I ran into the rain and find you?" Lilian asked, trying to defend herself.

Cassandra sobbed. "Because you wanted to formally say goodbye to me."

"I wasn't going to get rid of you," Lilian said. "Mom wanted to take you to her custody but I didn't allow her."

Cassandra's sobs grew louder. She placed her blanket over her head. "You're just saying that because I'm sick."

"No I'm not," Lilian said, shocked at the girl's reaction. "I'll do whatever it takes to prove that to you."

Cassandra didn't say anything. Instead, she removed her blanket and rolled to face Lilian.

"I love you like you're my own child," Lilian said as tears went down her face. "Please keep that in mind."

Once again, Cassandra pulled her blanket to her face.

Lilian wiped her tears and stood up. "I'll leave you for a while. Maybe you need some time alone." Just as she was about to open the door, she heard louder sobs.

"I miss my mommy and daddy," Cassandra said. "I really, really miss them."

Lilian ran to her side and took her in her arms. "We all miss them."

"I feel so alone," Cassandra cried.

"You're not alone," Lilian said. "I'm here. So as Aunt Trish, Uncle Randy, your grandpapa, your grandmamma and Uncle John."

"What if one day you would like to marry Uncle John?" Cassandra thought out loud. "What are you going to do with me?"

"Let's not think about that right now," Lilian said. "Tonight is about you."

The door opened and Mrs. Garcia came in. "Oh, there's our princess. Are you okay?"

"Yes, grandmamma," Cassandra answered. "I heard you want to take me back to South Carolina."

"Cassandra, that's not really necessary," Lilian interrupted.

"No dear, that's necessary," Mrs. Garcia said. "If Cassandra wants to go with us, it will be our pleasure."

Cassandra looked at Lilian. "You should decide, Cassie. But remember that I will always love you."

Cassandra looked at both women back and forth. "I… I… I think I'm better off at New York."

Lilian hugged her. "I'm so happy with your decision."

Mrs. Garcia sighed. "Well if that's what you both want, I have no right to disapprove."

XOXOXOXOXO

Weeks passed since the night Cassandra ran away. Now, everything is soft and smooth between Lilian and Cassandra and Lilian and John.

The phone rang and Cassandra ran to answer it. "I'll get it!" She picked up the phone and answered it. She listened intently to person in the other line. "Sure, I'm on it," she whispered, making sure Lilian doesn't hear it.

"Who's that?" Lilian called from the kitchen.

Cassandra hung up the phone. "Wrong number. Hey, shouldn't we get ready? Uncle John's coming."

Lilian glanced at the wall clock. "Oh, yeah, you go get ready and I'll get ready too."

Cassandra bounced her way to her room. "They're going on at date and I'm coming too," she cooed.

XOXOXOXOXO

"Ms. Garcia, this way please," the bellboy motioned them into a black limousine.

Lilian was stunned. "Maybe you got that wrong, Mr. Cena was going to pick us up here in the lobby."

The bellboy just smiled. "Mr. Cena sent this limousine for you two."

Cassandra went inside and Lilian didn't have any choice but to follow her. She noticed the silly look on Cassandra's face. "Do you have anything to do with this?"

Cassandra rolled her eyes and smiled. "Look! A champagne. I wish I was older."

Lilian had a bad feeling about this whole stuff. She didn't even know where the driver was taking them. Suddenly, the limousine stopped. They driver opened the door for them and Cassandra quickly ran out, as if she knew that place.

"Cassandra!" Lilian shouted as she tried to catch up with her niece. She knew she didn't pick the wrong day to wear heels since she was after all having a date. Running wasn't exactly in her agenda. She stopped when she was at an entranceway to a dark place. The only thing she knew about that place was that it was a garden. She could tell by the plants and vines all over.

As she took a step, lanterns begun to light up. The lanterns on the side of the floor were giving light to her direction. Then, she saw a small lake. Artificial, she thought. It was filled with floating candles, just like in a fairytale. In the middle of the artificial lake was a pavilion. In it stood John Cena with Cassandra smiling gleefully beside him. She made her way to the pavilion, walking on the wooden passageway.

"What is this?" Lilian asked as she reached the pavilion.

Without second thought, John knelt down and took out a small black box. He opened it and in it was a diamond ring. Lilian was already crying when John spoke up. "Way back in high school, I dreamed of having you as my wife. I guess that dream was shattered into pieces when we moved to Massachusetts. I thank destiny for the day Cassandra bumped into me which lead me to you. I thank God for bringing you back into my life. Now, things are clear – you are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I'll be honored to start a family with you and Cassandra. Bottom line is, Lilian Garcia, will you marry me?"

XOXOXOXOXO

That's it for now. At last, I did it!
