Chapter 10: The Telling

Sydney and Vaughn were still laying in each others arms the next morning and both of them had slept very peaceful.
After a while they finally woke up and Vaughn kissed her neck. She turned around and answered his kiss by kissing him on his mouth.
"Good morning." She smiled at him.
"Good morning."
"Do you still want me to become your wife?" He kissed her passionately.
"Does that answer your question?"
"Uh-huh."
"Good." They got out of bed and took a shower.

By the time they were dressed and had breakfast, it was already eleven o'clock.
They got in their car and went to pick up Cassie at her father's house.

As soon as Jack opened the door, Cassie ran over to Sydney and Vaughn.
"Mommy, daddy!" Vaughn picked the little girl up and Sydney gave her a kiss.
"Hey sweetie."
"Hey dad."
"Morning Sydney, Michael."
"Morning, Jack."
"Why don't you all come inside and we can have some coffee."
"Sure, that would be great."
The four of them went inside the house and sat down in the living room.
Jack brought three cups of coffee and some orange juice for Cassie.
As soon as Jack was seated, Sydney began to speak.
"Dad, Cassie...Michael and I have something to tell you."
"Of course honey, what is it?"
Although she hadn't said anything yet, he already knew what she was trying to say.
Sydney took Vaughn's hand.
"Michael and I are getting married!"
Jack stood up and hugged his daughter.
"Congratulations Sydney! I'm really happy for you."
"Thanks dad." He then turned to Vaughn and shook his hand.
"Congratulations!"
"Thanks Jack."
"You're welcome. I just hope that you'll take good care of my daughter."
"I will."
"Good." Cassie still hadn't said anything and she pulled on her mother's arm.
"Mommy?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"What does getting married mean?" Sydney smiled.
"Well, that means that daddy and I are going to live with each other for always and forever."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Yippy!" Sydney and Vaughn were happy that both of them had taken the news so well.

After a while they drove back home and they played games with Cassie in the garden.
Vaughn suddenly came over to Sydney and he took her in his arms and kissed her.
She kissed him back and she couldn't wait to finally become his wife.
