The next day at breakfast Lulu stepped up beside Dante as he stood at the stove cooking breakfast. "We have to tell Arianna today. Do you think she'll be happy?"

"Of course she'll be happy, she loves you. She already calls you mom."

"I know but now we'll be married and I just don't want her to think I'm taking the place of her mother."

"We'll explain it to her, it'll be fine sweetie." he said rubbing soothing circles on her back before going back to the eggs and bacon.

"Daddy I can't find my other shoe." Arianna said stepping into the kitchen holding one pink converse sneaker.

"Oh I know where the other one is. Come on sweetie." Lulu said with a laugh as she led the girl down the hall to find it.

Once they had finished eating Lulu checked on Dominic before joining Dante in the living room with Ari, "Ok pumpkin we want to talk to you about something." Dante said to Arianna who was sitting on Dante's lap.

"Did I do something bad daddy?" she asked glancing up at him with sad brown eyes.

"No baby you didn't do anything wrong. Lulu and I wanted to talk to you about getting married, do you know what that means?"

"Yeah my friends at school's parents are married like you were with mommy."

"Yeah I was married to your mommy and I loved her very much. She gave me you and your little brother and Lulu are the most important people in my life right now. What would you think about your daddy and Lulu getting married?"

"Does that mean she'll be my mommy for real?" Arianna asked looking over at Lulu for the answer.

"Come here sweetheart." Lulu said holding out her arms so the little girl could climb onto her lap.

"I love you and your daddy very much. And remember how I told you that you could call me mommy if you wanted?"

"Yeah."

"Well I love it when you call me mommy. But you know I never want to take your mommy's place in your life, she'll always be your mommy, But now you'll have two mommy's one in heaven and one here with you. So what do you think about that?"

"I like it. Two mommy's wait till my friends hear that." she said with a grin.

Dante climbed out of bed careful not to wake Lulu who was still fast asleep, she had been up a lot during the night to feed the baby. Leaning over he placed a kiss on her temple before going over to the bassinet that was at the foot of their bed. "Hey little man you be good today for mommy."

"Morning." he heard from behind him as he turned around to see a sleepy Lulu rubbing her eyes.

"Hey baby. I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you."

"It's alright."

"I wish I didn't have to go into work today."

"We'll be fine Dante."

"I know you'll be fine. I was talking about me I'll miss you and Dom." he said causing her to laugh as she threw the blankets off and met him at the foot of their bed. "I love you Dante."

"I love you too, so much."

Dante had taken Arianna to school on his way to work leaving Lulu alone with Dominic, it would be their first day alone together but she didn't mind one bit. She had always wanted to be a mother and now she was and she knew she was probably biased but he was the cutest little boy in the whole world. 'How could he not be with a dad like Dante.' she thought to herself.

Lulu was just finishing her breakfast when she heard the baby cry in the other room. "Mommy's here." she soothed as she stepped into the room. Picking him up she carried him to the living room to feed him, "You hungry?" she said cradling him in her arms. "That was some surprise your daddy sprang on me yesterday wasn't it. Only a few days old and you and daddy are already cooking up schemes." she said talking to the baby as he ate.

She couldn't remember ever being this happy in her life. For once she felt like this was what she was meant for she was meant to be a mom and now she was to two amazing kids and now she was getting married could life be any better.

"Were home baby." Dante said dropping his bag near the door as Arianna raced past him.

"Mommy look what I did at school." she said handing her a drawing she did.

"Oh wow this is beautiful." she said looking down at the drawing.

"That's you and daddy and me in the middle and there's baby D."

"This is a wonderful picture of our family. I have an idea why don't you go find a magnet and stick this on the fridge for me."

"Ok." she said skipping from the room her pigtails swinging behind her.

"How was your day?" he asked sitting next to her on the couch and looking down at their son in his baby bouncer.

"It was quiet without you two here. Except when he was hungry." she said with a laugh.

"I missed you guys." he said leaning in to kiss her neck as she laughed.

"That tickles," she laughed as she felt his stubble. "You need to shave."

"Oh come on you don't like it." he said rubbing his cheek on hers before she pushed him away.

"Nope I liked it before when you didn't give me a rash."

"Oh come on babe."

"Go shave." she said pointing to the bathroom as he gave her a fake pout and headed in that direction.
