„Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise."
"Blink please. Tell me where were going to." It was the next day. The doc had said there was no risk that the baby or Star would get any problems.
"just put on your jacket and pull the baby in some warm blankets."
"I can't take her out on the streets!"
" I have ordered a carriage to come hear." Ten minutes later they sat in the carriage and drove through Manhattan for about fifteen minutes. Then the carriage stopped.
"We're here" Blink helped Star out of the carriage. They stood in front of a building and Blink led her in. The went up three stair before Blink opened a door.
"Where are we?"
"In my flat."
"Your what?!"
"I got it when I began my job at the Sun."
"But… when…"
"Hey you were three months away from New York!" Blink chuckled. Star looked around in the room she was standing. It was obviously the living room. It looked good. It was big. Even if there would be more then one person.
"Would you like some guided tour through this palace?" Blink bowed in front of Star. She laughed and took the arm he offered her. The baby still on her arms sleeping. Blink showed her the kitchen, the bathroom and finally the sleeping room.
"Why is there a cradle?" Star looked slightly confused at the wooden baby- bed.
"That's the reason I brought you here." Blink took the baby from Star's arms and laid her in the bed before he kneed down in front of Star and took a small box out of his pocket.
"I love you for so long now, I don't even know how long, but, I know how much I love you! And that is all I really know: That I love you and our baby. And because of this… Lilith McAdams, will you make me the happiest man on this world and marry me?" Blink opened the box and Star looked at a golden ring with a small stone in shape of a star on it.
"Blink, I…" Her voice wasn't more than a whisper. So she took his hands to help him up and just kissed him for an answer.
"Can I take that as a "Yes"?" Blink smiled at Star and wrapped his arms around her waist, the small box still in his hands.
"You sure can!" They kissed once again before Blink took the ring and slipped it over Star's finger.
"Just one question: Where'd you know my name from I didn't ever tell you!"
"Rose told me." Star swallowed and took her baby back in her arms.
"Star?"
"Marjorie Mary."
"What?"
"What do you think about the name for her?" Blink looked at the girl that was about to wake up. He looked in her dark blue eyes. The same than Star's.
"I think it's a perfect name!"
Blink placed his hands on each of Star's cheek and kissed her again. Finally, Star knew, what this feeling was which she had tried to understand over a year ago in their first night in the lodging house together. She pulled away and looked in his eyes.
"I love you!" There wasn't need to be said more.
