Chapter 1

Wendy's POV

Two years later

"I have some news to share with you guys!" I tell the kids as I sit them down. I've been so excited since I got the news and I wanted them to be the first ones I share it with.

"What is it mommy?" TJ asks me as he bounces on the couch.

"Is it good or bad?" Alyssa asks as she looks at her phone.

I smile. "It's very good! You know that guy Stan that I've been dating?"

"Yes, what about him?" She asks still looking at her phone.

I hold up my hand to show off my engagement ring. "He asked me to marry him!" She finally looks up and her eyes widen.

"Mommy's getting married?" TJ asks.

"Great, another step parent..." Alyssa mumbles. She acts like she isn't happy about that, but she loves having Nichole as a stepmother. Hell, she confides in her more than she does me.

"Well before we can get married, I need you two to meet him."

"Why?"

I laugh. "Well I can't have a man move in here that you two aren't familiar with. I want to make sure you all get along before we exchange our vows."

"So what if we don't like him? Does that mean you won't get married?"

I wasn't expecting that, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. "It would have to be put on hold until we can come to some kind of understanding."

"I see."

"When do we get to meet him mommy?" TJ asks.

"I invited him over for dinner tomorrow night."

Alyssa finally looks up from her phone. "Tomorrow? Why so soon? I'm not ready for this!"

I chuckle. "It's just dinner Ally. Just a nice little meet and greet."

"I don't know about this..."

"Oh come on! You have Nichole a chance!" I remind her.

"That's different, we already knew her since she was your friend!"

"Don't remind me..." I mumble.

"Oh God, are you planning to have kids with Stan? I have enough younger siblings!" Token and Nichole now have two kids.

"Hey!" TJ squeals.

I shake my head. "We don't have plans to have kids. Stan is happy not having any."

Alyssa raises her eyebrow. "Does he even like kids? I don't trust this guy already!"

"He loves kids! He just doesn't have any and would like to keep it that way. You two will be his step kids and he's fine with that."

"Hmph!"

"Just be nice. Please?"

"I'll try, but I can't promise anything." She says as she goes back to looking at her phone. She's hesitant right now, but I know once she meets Stan, she'll come to accept him. I can feel it.

Stan's POV

"I can't believe you would ask her to marry you before meeting her kids. What if they're monsters?" I'm heading to Wendy's house for dinner and I'm chatting with Kyle on the way there. I explained to him that this is the first time I'll be meeting Wendy's kids.

"They're kids! It's not like they can harm me in any way." I inform him.

"Only your relationship…"

"I'm going to go in with a positive attitude. I'm sure it will be fine. The way Wendy describes them, they sound like sweet kids."

"She's their mother, of course she'll make them sound sweet."

"I'm sure it will be fine dude. I'm here so we'll talk later." I tell him as I pull into Wendy's driveway.

"All right. Good luck Stan."

"Thanks dude!" I tell him as I hang up. I look in the mirror to make sure I don't have anything in my teeth and do a breath check before getting out of the car. I stare at the outside in awe because the outside is HUGE! No wonder she insisted that I move in with her when we get married. I wouldn't want to give up this house either. I ring the doorbell.

"Hi honey!" Wendy greets me with a kiss when she answers the door.

"Hey babe! This is a really nice house!" I tell her as I continue staring at the house.

Wendy laughs. "You've only seen the outside of it."

"It's huge!"

She shrugs. "Well I was married to Token Black."

"That's true…" I forgot that he comes from a rich family.

"Come on in!" She pulls my arm to get me inside. "I'm so excited about you meeting the kids!"

"I'm looking forward to it."

"Here they are! Kids, this is Stan, but you can call him Mr. Marsh." She points at the young boy. "This is TJ."

"What's up little man?" I hold out my hand for a high five.

"Hi." He eventually gives me the high five.

"This is my daughter Alyssa, but we also call her Ally." I look at Alyssa and I won't lie, she's gorgeous1 She's tall and has curves in the right places.

"Hello there!" I give her a hug, I may hug her a little too long.

"Hi Mr. Marsh!" I look at her and she smiles. She has a perfect set of teeth too.

"Come on in the kitchen, I made dinner!" Wendy announces.

"You made dinner?" I ask her as we follow her to the dining room. I know she told me she doesn't cook much, so I feel honored that she cooked tonight.

Wendy laughs. "Okay, I ordered take out." She points at the Chinese take out on the table.

"Mom isn't much of a cook." Alyssa interjects. "Do you cook Mr. Marsh?"

I nod. I guess this is where I start getting interviewed by her kids. "Yeah, I cook. I try to stay away from processed food as much as possible."

"But you're willing to make an exception tonight, right?" Wendy asks.

"Anything for you my dear." I smile at her.

"You're so sweet!" Wendy gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"So what do you like to cook?" Alyssa asks.

"Anything your heart desires!" I smile.

"Can you cook chicken nuggets?" TJ chimes in.

I nod. "I sure can! They're even better than McDonalds!"

TJ's eyes widen. "Better than McDonald's? Wow! When can you cook them?"

"That's up to your mom."

"Maybe next time TJ!" Wendy tells him.

"Yeah, there will be plenty of time since mom is going to marry Mr. Marsh." I nearly choke on my food when Alyssa says that. I didn't expect her to go there so soon. "So when's the big day?"

"Umm…" I look over at Wendy. "Sweetheart, you want to answer that?"

"We haven't decided on a date yet, but I do know it will be within the next few months." She looks at me and smiles. "We'll let you kids know when we decide, right honey?"

"Right!" I think that seemed to satisfy Alyssa…for now.

After dinner, we played board games with the kids. I really had a great time getting to know them, but it's getting late and Wendy is getting ready to tuck TJ in so I'm planning to head home. "Do you want to stay the night?" Wendy offers.

"Are you sure? The kids are here." I didn't think she would want me to stay until we're actually married for the sake of her kids.

Wendy nods. "That's okay. Eventually, we'll all be under one roof."

I nod in agreement. "You have a point. I'll stay."

"Great! Let me get TJ tucked in and we'll turn in for the night."

"Sounds good." She heads upstairs. As I'm heading to the living room, I see Alyssa who's now in her pajamas which is very revealing. I'm trying not to stare.

"It was really nice meeting you Mr. Marsh." Alyssa smiles, once again flashing those pearly whites.

"Please, call me Stan. Mr. Marsh is my dad." I laugh.

"Okay…Stan!" She moves closer to me. "I was a little hesitant about meeting you, but I'm glad I did. I can't wait for you to marry my mom!"

I look at her in shock. Having her kid's approval means everything. "That really means a lot to me. Thank you!" I hug her, this time, my hand develops a mind of its own and slides down her back until I'm touching her ass. I quickly pull away from her.

I notice she's blushing, but she's smiling. "Umm…I should go to bed…"

"Yeah, and I'm going to wait for Wendy."

"Goodnight!" She walks upstairs. I can't help but to check out her ass when she's walking away. She has a nice fat ass! Stop it Stan! She's going to be your stepdaughter…
