Chapter 11
RPOV
We got in the elevator and headed up to the 7th floor. I didn't know quite what to expect, but I did get a text message from Louis saying everything was finished. As we got to the door I could smell the food, I could smell both Italian and Cuban food. I really wish we hadn't of stopped for Pino's but I wasn't going to deny Babe anything. I opened the door and everything was dark. I turned on the lights and I don't think I could have been prepared for the transformation in front of me.
The walls were neutral butter yellow with beautiful brown microfiber furniture that looked like leather until you actually touched it. It was more feminine without being overbearing. All of the tables had been changed out and there were pictures all around the living room. There was even a watercolor of the bed and breakfast we had stayed at, Louis had called me and asked if the place had a website. He must have had someone paint this for us. It was beautiful. The kitchen was left unchanged, but the dining room had a new table. It was black and round with four chairs and a pink plastic high chair in the corner by the bar.
Babe had that cute goldfish look on her face as she explored. The next room was our bedroom. The white comforter had been replaced with a navy blue one. It was a minor change but it change the feel of the room. On the nightstand was a picture from our wedding. I saw the tears in Babe's eyes and decided I should show her the rest of the surprise before she burst into tears. We made our way down a little hallway that housed my office and she saw the hallway went further now and there were three more doors. She opened the first one and it was a bathroom with a clawfoot tub and shower combo. It was done in bright colors and perfect for both of our girls. The next door was done in pinks, purples, and blues the perfect room for a teenage girl. A computer desk had been put in and a laptop set up for when Julie visited. We made our way to the last room and opened the door. I was speechless when I saw the room.

The apartment was amazing, the extra rooms were amazing but nothing could have prepared me for the nursery. It was every little girls dream. It was done in purple with butterflies. Soft butterflies flew over the crib on the mobile. Butterflies were on the walls, all soft to the touch with painted lines to show where they had flown. It was amazing. In the corner there was a purple striped chair and ottoman, when I sat down in it, it began to rock. The room was perfect. Ranger told me that our mothers had decorated the room and I completely lost it. I broke down into tears, as I looked around the room I realized that this is the room that our little girl would be in. The room she would dream in, it's the perfect room for her to fly in.
After a few minutes I finally quit crying and Ranger said he was going to go down to the office and check on everything. I decided to get my computer out and see if I could catch Julie on Instant Messenger. Luckily she was online as I signed on.
Jules0801 : Hey Steph! How was the trip?
StephM01: It was good. Glad to be home. You'll never believe what your Dad had done while we were gone.
Jules0801: What?
StephM01: He had the apartment worked on. He had two rooms and a bathroom added
Jules0801: Cool. Now I can sleep in the guest room and not the couch when I come!
StephM01: No Julie. One of the rooms is for you the other one is for your sister when she comes. Your room is decorated just for you with blues, purples, and pinks. I will send a picture to your email.
Jules0801: OMG! I can't believe Dad decorated a room just for me, that's awesome! I can't wait to come see you guys this summer. Have you come up with a name for my sister yet?
StephM01: Yep. Your Dad picked out Adrianna Rosa. Look at the pictures I sent you of her nursery.
Jules0801: I love that room, it's so pretty. That name is pretty, I can't believe Dad thought of it. He's changed so much in the past few months.
StephM01: I know, it's hard to believe. I'm going to let you go I've got to go unpack. Your Dad and I love you sweetie! Bye
Jules0801: I love you guys too! Bye!
I sat there for a few minutes thinking about how much Ranger had changed in the past few months. It was like a night and day difference. He seemed so much happier with life. I can't believe a few short months ago I was thinking about marrying Joe. I would have been miserable. I actually felt a little sorry for Joe thinking about him having to suck up to Terri now. Hopefully it will work out for the best for him. If she decides to take him back hopefully he will take her ring shopping.
