well a lot had happened since that night with the strawberries and mousse. When they had woken up they took the bucket of champagne and glasses into the bathroom they saw that it was a huge Jacuzzi in the room so they set it up and climbed into the Jacuzzi, Brendan opened the champagne and poured it for the both of them and handed one to Steven. They made a toast and took a sip. The put their glasses down on the sides of the Jacuzzi and Brendan moved in back of Steven and gave him a tight and smoothing shoulder rub. Steven was in heaven everything from the room the fruit the mousse and the champagne had him overwhelmed and hearing Brendan say those three most important words that he dreamed about hearing for a long time made him a puddle. He wished he had said it the most romantic way as well but it wasn't it was just

what it was.

Brendan was massaging Stevens shoulder and giving him lights kisses on the neck.

The few weeks after the most romantic night of their lives were long and full with love family and friends and Ste's children just adored Brendan and had told him that they loved him and Brendan as tough as he was, was goo over the fact that Stevens children loved him.

2 months later Simon and Kevin called Ste and Brendan up letting them know that their video would be released soon on DVD, they were excited about and had told them thanks to them they were now happily in love with each other and life just couldn't be better.

In the months that followed Ste started culinary school and Brendan was so excited for him and he was the top student chef in his class. Brendan took Steven and his children out to a nice restaurant to celebrate Steven's achievements.

A year into their relationship Ste asked Brendan if he would move in with him and he couldn't think of anything better that he wanted to do. To celebrate their one year together as a couple they went back to the cafe they had loved so much and ordered the same thing that they had ordered the first time they had gone. The one year anniversary as a couple was the first time they had been to the cafe since the night they told each other that they loved each other.

A few weeks later Leah and Lucas began calling Brendan daddy Brendan and he loved it. Also in those weeks to come Ste finishing culinary school and to surprise Steven Brendan bought Steven his own bakery. He cried on Brendan's shoulder and held him tight. Ste's kids held on to Ste's legs in a tight embrace.

A year and a half of being together Steven was at work late deciding what to do about his feelings for Brendan, about the love he had for him and how much his children adored him and how special he was and so on. He took some sugar cookie batter and made it into the shape of a ring, when he was done cooking it he put it on his finger and recited will you marry me Brendan out loud without anyone around to hear.

Ste called Brendan directly no texting and told him to come over to the bakery which was next to Chez Chez and it took all of 5 minutes to go to the bakery.

When Brendan walked into the bakery it smelt like Brendan and sugar cookies. Brendan walked over to Steven and kissed him on the lips.

"I have something I wanted to ask of you, but it's pretty stupid."

"No question is stupid Steven"

"That's not what I meant its just the way I'm going to ask you is"

"Alright, what is the question?"

"Well I've been thinking about this for months now and I've been uncomfortable about the subject matter, more so what your answer would be once I asked you"

"OK, I'm is listening"

Steven turned around and grabbed the ring like cookie from the counter and turned back around.

"Brendan Brady, the love of my life. The only man I've deeply loved, the step father to me kids. Would you do me the honor of being my husband. Brendan Brady will you please marry me?"

"Yes Steven Hay, I'd love that more than anything in this world" said Brendan before kissing Steven deeply on the lips.

Steven put the cookie on Brendan ring finger and it fit perfectly.

"See it was made for you" said Ste laughing and crying

Brendan held Steven in his arms and kissing his lips tenderly.

Brendan and Steven got married at Chez Chez on the day of their second year of being a couple. They invited Simon and Kevin to their wedding, other guests were of course Brendan's children and Cheryl and her friends and her boyfriend Nate, Leanne was invited along with her boyfriend Dennis.

Life couldn't have been more perfect for the happy couple and to think it had started with one little naughty P word 'porn'.
