Chapter 77

Laura woke up the next morning and grinned to see the man that she loved snuggled next to her in his room.

"Hey," she whispered.

"Hey," he said kissing her, "How did you sleep?"

"Good. How long have you been awake?"

"Long enough to see how adorable you are when you wake up."

Laura laughed and said, "I have to go to my cast party but you're welcome to come."

"Absolutely," he said kissing her.

"You love me still even being this steady?" she asked.

"Yup. Plus, snuggling is good," he remarked.

"C'mon. Let's go get breakfast," she said as they got up in their p.j.'s and fled out the door.

"Love ya," Vincent said.

"Love you too," Laura said kissing him as she opened the door.

When they were just leaving they noticed that Donna and Ariadne were just standing there and in awe.

"Wow," Donna said.

"Are you going to have a wedding ball soon and can I be a flower girl?" Ariadne remarked.

The two of them laughed and Laura lowered to hug the little girl. "If I ever get married, you will be my flower girl that's for sure."

"Uncle Vincent, what are you waiting for?" Ariadne asked causing everyone to laugh.

"C'mon, let's get you breakfast," Laura said as she took her hand and followed Donna into the kitchen and giving Vincent a quick look.

That's when Vincent realized how great she could be as a mother.

Her and Ariadne were the best of friends and always got along with the younger ones. Vincent hadn't met anyone who could be like that before.

He had met his soul mate if there ever really was such thing as one. And Laura was it. He finally could see a clear future together with someone he loved and for once someone who truly loved him back.
