Chapter 3
Ana and I have been dating for 3 months now. Right now I am on my way with Taylor to talk to her dad because I want to marry her. Her birthday is tomorrow and I am planning to ask her to marry me. I love her and Emma so much. We are planning on having a 3D/4D ultrasound in 3 weeks. We are so excited to see Emma again. In the last month Ana has really grown. One of the things I am doing for her, that she has told me she wants to do, is take pregnancy pictures. I have scheduled her to have them done after I ask her to marry me. I have also asked Taylor to be in some of the pictures.
When we got to the house, Ray and Linda were already waiting outside to meet us. We got out of the car and greeted them. While Taylor talked to his mom, I went in to talk to Ray.
"I know Ana and I have not been dating long but I love her and Emma so much. I can't see myself without them in my life. I am asking for your blessing to ask her to marry me."
Smiling, he says,"I can tell you love her, so I give you my blessing."
Before I could tell him my plans, I get a text from Ana.
Help me. Leo is here. 3 Ana
Where are you? Did you text Taylor? Xox Chris
I'm at the hospital. Yes I text Jason. Please hurry. He is here and he is hurting me. He is telling me that he is going to take Emma from me when she is born. 3 Ana
Over my dead body is he taking our daughter. We are on our way. I love you and Emma. Stay near mom, baby. Xox Chris
Can you call your dad on the way? I just want to go home. I am hurting so bad. 3 Ana
Ok, I will. When we get there me, you, Taylor, and Gail are going on vacation. Where do you want to go? Let me know and I will book it. Xox Chris.
Gail, Jason, and I want to go to Disney World in Florida and to the beach. Can we go, please? 3 Ana
Sure baby. I will get it booked. I am in the car now on my way. I love you to the moon and back. xox Chris
When we got done texting, I called Andrea and told her to book the trip to Disney World and the beach for the next 2 weeks for Taylor, Gail, Ana and I. Then I asked Taylor, "Do you want to go Disney?"
"I am going to kill my sister but, yes, I would love to. Ana and I went when we were kids and loved it. I was planning on taking her before Emma was born."
I smiled. "Well, we are leaving out tonight to go. I just want to get her out of here for the next week, and then we are going to the beach for a week."
I will call Gail and tell her to pack for all of us. Thank you, Christian. You have done more than Leo ever has done for her and I'm glad that she has you."
When we got to the hospital we rushed up to mom and Ana's floor. When we got there, I went to find my girl. When I saw her, she was walking with mom, her arm in a cast and sling. I ran to her, asking, "What the hell happened to your arm, baby?"
She looked at me and started to cry. Then mom said, "He broke her arm in 3 places. I want her to take it easy for the next week. That means NO WORK, Ana. Take a vacation."
Ana looks at me. I shake my head and then she said, "Well, Christian, Gail, Jason, and I are going to Florida for two weeks. So, you won't see me here." With that, she and Taylor walk off.
Mom looks at me and asks, "Did you ask Ray the question?"
"Yes. I plan on asking her while we are at Disney World tomorrow. I hope we can get married while there, if she wants. If you get a call from Taylor, you know what it is all about. Make sure Mia and Elliot know, too. I hope she says yes to the having the wedding at Disney."
Mom smiles a big smile. "You know she will. She loves you. She told me that she is so glad that she has you in her life and in Emma's."
I look around trying to find her and Taylor. Where the hell did they go? Mom saw that I was wondering that and she then said, "Come with me. I know where she went."
She led me to one of the rooms and I saw my girlfriend, with her brother, talking to this little boy and girl. Mom looked at me. "They are twins. Their parents died in a car crash a few days ago and Ana wants to adopt them, but she told me that she was scared to ask you because she was scare you would say no to her."
Ana heard us. Looking at me, she said, "Sorry. I had to see them."
I look at her and then mom and said, "Get dad here."
She smiled at me and said, "Okay. You know they can leave today, if you want to take them with you."
Ana looks at me, says, "What are you doing? She told you, didn't she?"
" Yes. If you want to be their mother and I, their father, why not? Let's do it. We can go to the store and get them clothes and they can come with us to Florida.
She looks at me and then said, "Are you sure. I really love these kids."
"Yes. I want to have as many kids as I can with you and, if that means taking on these two, I will be happy to."
"Okay, let's do it." Her smile is so big, she's actually beaming.
She then goes over to the bed and kneels. "Adam and Alex, this is Christian. Christian, this Alex and Adam,. Would you like it if we became your mommy and daddy? We are going to Florida today, too."
They look at us and say,"Yes we would love that. I want to see Mickey Mouse. Do you think we will be able to do that, mommy?"
Ana smiled at them and said, "Yes. We will be able to."
When my mom and dad came in, they saw that Ana and I were giving Alex and Adam a hug. My mom then says, "Do I have 2 new grandkids?"
Ana smiles and says,"Yes you do. Carrick this is Adam and Alex. Christian and I would like to make them our own, but will they be able to go to Florida with us today is the only question we have."
"Yes they are able to go to Florida with you. I will start on the paper work and have it ready for when you guys get back."
"Okay. Did mom tell you the plans while we are down there."
Dad looks at me and says, "Yes. I will have it if we come down. I will bring the papers with me. You know she will say yes."
While mom went to get the paperwork started to have them discharged, I sent Taylor to get the kids' some clothes, our bags, and Gail. After we leave the hospital we are heading to the airport. Ana signed the papers and we were ready to leave. We got the kids in the car and I made introductions,"Gail, this is Alex and Adam. Ana and I are adopting them. Alex and Adam this is Gail. She is my housekeeper and your Uncle Jason's girlfriend."
They both said,"hi", and then Alex said," Uncle Jason, guess what."
"What, Alex."
"Mommy and daddy said we are going to Florida and that we get to see Mickey Mouse. How fun is that going to be."
Jason says, "Yes it will be, but wait 'til you meet mommy and my parents. They will love you."
Jason then looks at Ana and says, "You called dad yet."
Ana smiles. "Yes, I have. They are excited to be getting two new grandkids."
When we got to the jet we all got loaded up, putting Alex and Adam in the seats by Ana and me, while Taylor and Gail were across from us. Once we're in the air, I got my laptop out and started to look up ways to ask Ana to marry me while at Disney. I plan on asking her tomorrow while at Magic Kingdom.
"Taylor, will come to my office with me? I have something to discuss with you."
He got up and followed me to my on board office. When we got there, I shut the door behind us and I asked him, "When Ana was growing up, did she ever dream of having a wedding at Disney World?"
"Yes, she wanted to be married at Disney. She had everything planned from the dress to the ring. I even have a picture of the ring she wants."
He showed it to me. "Can you call and get it for me please? Did she say anything thing else that she wanted?"
"She wants to feel like Cinderella when she gets married. She has the dress and everything planned out. I'll make the call and see if they have the ring."
With that he makes the call. They have the ring that we are needing. We paid over the phone for it and it will be delivered to our resort when we get there. Getting all that taken care of, we rejoin the rest of the of the group. After landing, we all got off and the six of us pack the car waiting for us, with Taylor riding shotgun and Alex and Adam sitting on my and Ana's laps. We are staying at the Animal Kingdom Villas. It is a 2 bedroom villa with a view of the savanna. When we got there I helped Ana and the kids out. After getting checked in, a bellhop takes us to our villa. Ana was so tired I helped her to the room and got her in bed. I then put the kids to bed and I took Taylor down to the lobby with me to see if Ana's ring was there. Taylor then says, "I just remembered one thing, if you get married here, she wants to be married in front of the castle and it has to be at night. That is the biggest thing."
"Okay, ok anything else?"
"No. Just treat my sister right and we will have no problems."
"You have no problems there. She is everything to me."
When we got back to the villa, we both go off to our respective rooms and to bed, as we have a busy day tomorrow.
The next morning I wake and thank to myself, "Today is the day I ask Ana to be my wife. I get up early so I can make sure everything is ready for today. As I come out of my room, I see that Jason is up too. Together, we go to the Front Desk and confirm all our plans are in place and ready to go. (NOTE: Once again, I've made changes in wording."
When everyone is up and dressed, we headed out for breakfast at Magic Kingdom. We planned on eating at the Crystal Palace. I plan on asking her to marry me at Cinderella's Castle when the fireworks are going off. Taylor has the ring that we ordered yesterday. I just cannot wait. She is the love of my life and I know I want her to be my wife. We already have two kids that I love and one on the way. Alex and Adam are so excited. They cannot believe that we are going to be seeing Mickey Mouse today. Ana looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. We are all wearing matching shirts. When we got to the restaurant we got seated and they and our drink orders given. The breakfast buffet offered just about anything imaginable so that even the pickiest eater could feast.
After we got done eating, we went into the park and just walked around. We went to one of the souvenir stores and Ana found Mickey ears. She gets all of us a pair and then has our names put on them so we could have our picture taken with us wearing them. After we got our pictures taken we went to the Be Our Guest Restaurant for lunch. With lunch eaten, we took Alex and Adam to ride some rides. As it got dark, I had Taylor call to make sure everything was set. I just hope she will say yes as I cannot see my life without her and the kids. As the night progressed, the characters started to give her gifts for Emma. Before I knew it, it was time. I led her to the castle and then Mickey came out with a sign that said, "Will you marry me?" She turns around and looks at me. I am on one knee, with the ring in hand, and I said, "Ana I love you. You made me the happiest man when you said yes to being my girlfriend. Now I ask you, will you marry me?" She jumps into my arms with tears in her eyes and says, "Yes! I will marry you."
I put the ring on her finger and then I kiss her as the fireworks go off. Taylor comes up to us and says, "I am so happy for the both of you." Taking my hand in a tight handshake, he leans in and quietly tells me, "Treat her right, Christian, or it won't be just me coming after you."
He gives Ana a hug then he hands her a small gift. She opens it and she starts to cry. Then Alex and Adam come up to her and gives her a gift. When she opens it, she cries harder.
When we got back to the room, we call my mom. When she answers, we tell her that we are getting married and that I will have the jet ready to bring them here for the wedding. Then we call Ray and tell him the same. That night, when we went to bed, I just snuggled with Ana. We plan on getting married at Disney World. We will plan it the next day. I could not be any happier.
