Okay finishing this off as part of the Getty girls birthday month/year. Hope you all enjoyed the story. This is sadly the end.
I was happy. Genuinely happy for the first time in years. I had my man back and things were moving nicely with him. I had new friends, my Getty girls. To be honest, they were so lovely, I would have felt sad not to see them again.
Gio and had been reunited for about a month now. Things were getting steamy fast. We were picking things up pretty much where we left it off before Horta started to disrupt things. Stupid man.
My thoughts were interrupted by my wonderful boyfriend. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek. I turned around in his embrace and kissed him passionately.
"I don't mean to be a spoil sport, but we both have work, Miss Editor-in-Chief," he said as he broke our kiss. I smiled at him and kissed him gently again before we headed out the door to work. We were happy and together and that's all that mattered.
9 months later
There was a slight twist to our story. It came in the name of Elena Beatrice Rossi. She was born in May and we were delighted with her. Of course we were shocked at first but our little darling was all we wanted and more. She was the glue that held us together. She was the being that symbolised our love.
I sat on the sofa with Elena sat on my lap, sleeping soundly when Gio came in and kissed my cheek before roughling up my hair. I playfully growled at him before kissing him back.
"B, I am so happy now. You have officially made me the happiest man alive. I want to ask you something. I know things are a bit crazy at the moment and everything but I have never felt so sure about anything before. Will you marry me? Become Mrs Rossi? Please? We can have our perfect family," he said.
I smiled at him. "Gio, we don't need to get married to have the perfect family. We have that anyway. But nothing would make me happier than to marry you and become Mrs. Betty Rossi," I said as he leaned up and kissed me. He took my hand in his and placed a diamond ring on my finger.
"I know it's not traditionally done. The baby first and then the marriage but I love you Betty," he said meaningfully.
I responded with my whole heart, "I love you too Gio. I really do."
