Chapter 6
Exactly one week after Bosco proposed to me, he had arranged for Ty and Sasha to rent his apartment, and he moved in with me.
I cooked him an awesome dinner on his first night. One of his favourite dishes; Chicken Cacciatore, I also made a really good Caesar Salad, and I bought a Black Forest Cheesecake for dessert.
When the kids arrived home from school Bosco and I called a family meeting in the kitchen.
"What's going on Mom?" asked Emily.
"Guys. Uncle Bosco and I have decided that he should move in with us. And so he's going to live here now. I sure hope you guys don't mind." I said.
"Well its about time!" said Emily.
"Uncle Bosco, are you going to be my new Daddy?" asked Charlie
"Um...sure sport! Anything you want." He said, tousling Charlie's hair.
"Cool!" said Charlie, smiling.
We had dinner together as a family, and when we were having dessert, that was when I decided to let the kids in on my other little secret.
"Em, Charlie, I have something else to tell you. Remember last week when Uncle Bosco and I went out together. Well, he asked me to marry him, and I said yes. And I wanted to know what you guys think do you guys think we should get married?" I asked.
"Oh My Gosh! Mom! Are you serious?" said Em.
"Yeah." I said smiling and showing her the ring on my finger.
"You mean Uncle Bosco really is gonna be my new Daddy?" asked Charlie.
"Yeah buddy...I sure am!" said Bosco.
"Awesome!" said Charlie.
"That's really great Mom, I'm sure you guys are gonna be happy together." Said Emily smiling.
Emily turned to Bosco and smiled.
"Bosco...I always knew that one day you and Mom would realize what you truly mean to each other. I really hope that she makes you happy, and I hope you guys stay together forever. You deserve each other." Said my daughter. She really was wise beyond her years.
'Thanks Em!" he said, hugging her.
"Emily, honey, I wanted to ask you something very important. Would you be my maid of honour? I couldn't think of anyone I wanted to ask more than you." I said smiling at Em.
"Of course Mom, I'm thrilled that you would even ask." She said.
"I wanna be in the wedding too!" said Charlie.
"Of course buddy, you can carry the rings! So I don't forget 'em." Said Bosco
We finished up with dessert, and Emily and I did the dishes. Bosco tucked Charlie in at bedtime, and as we settled in together on the sofa to watch TV, I felt happy that we told the kids right away. And I was thrilled that they were so tickled pink by the news.
