Final Chapter 6 ; The Talk

As they sat at the table Bianca reached out to grab Marissa's hands in her own. Before she spoke Marissa looked deep into the brown eyes.

"I love you Bianca. I need you to not only know, but believe it." Marissa told her trying to find out what was going on in Bianca's mind. Before she spoke Bianca sighed softly.

"Marissa I know for a fact you love me and I love you, but the fighting between or parents and our family need to stop." Bianca said trying to hold back the tears she wanted so bad to let out. "I wish they could get along, not for us, but for our kids." She couldn't hold it in and the tears began to run down her cheek. Marissa gently wiped them away placing a soft kiss against Bianca's lips.

"We will make our family work Bianca. They will have to get along because I refuse to have split holidays and I don't want your mom to hate me forever." She said in all honesty.

"Marissa, my mom doesn't hate you." Bianca said trying to sound as honest as she could.

"Babe, you can't be serious. She called me a tramp, mentioned its not classy to yell for you while you're upstairs, and she isn't fond of my mother either." Marissa stated. "But, that's just it Bianca its not about them. This, is about us. We have love, a home, our kids. What more could we ask for?" She asked.

"Well there is one thing missing." Bianca said with a smile.

"What could possibly be the missing puzzle piece?" She asked Bianca a bit frustrated at why they weren't in a perfect place and everything was okay. "We can't let this family thing ruin what…" Bianca had stopped Marissa before she could even finish.

"It isn't about them Marissa. I want us to be more. We have a home, our kids love each other, they love us." She took a deep breath before reaching in her pocket pulling out a 1 carat white gold diamond engagement ring. "Will you Marissa Tasker be my wife?" Bianca asked, and in this moment she had never been more terrified in life.

Marissa was caught off guard, but in a good way. She nodded her head yes before she could even say the words. "Yes. Of course I'll be Mrs. Montgomery." She said leaning across the table to kiss Bianca lovingly. Shortly after the kiss broke Bianca slid the ring onto Marissa's finger. "You have amazing taste I must say." Marissa added.

"Well I am Erica Kane's daughter." She joked.

"When did you have time to pull this off?" Marissa asked as she admired her ring.

"Well in between signing papers to get the house, picking up kids, and hearing the mover call you Mrs. Montgomery with out you correcting him…" Bianca trailed off them was reeled in. "And !" Marissa added enthusiastically. "Well I noticed a ring and I bought it for you. I knew it was the right time to give it to you when you stood up to my mother and you told me before this conversation that you loved me."

"I do love you Bianca. I always have since the day we had our snowball fight or when you chose to not fight nasty in your divorce. Bianca, I just knew when I met you I love you." Marissa admitted. Bianca was at a loss for words, but she gestured for Marissa to sit on her lap which she did.

Marissa straddled Bianca's hips and kissed her now fiancee with all the love and passion she had within her. But, when giggles were heard from the stairs their lips unlocked and looked over at the three kids watching them. When they were caught they ran into their parents having a group hug.

"I took it she said yes." Was AJ's response.

"They knew?" Marissa asked and they four of them nodded.

"They helped me plan the whole thing. The party to distract you, but we didn't plan the fight." Bianca said with a smile.

"Gosh, I love you guys!" Marissa said as she kissed each kids forehead and kissed Bianca once more. "I love you guys so much that its making me tired and you three should be in bed." She said smiling at Bianca having a lot of other things on her mind.

"You heard Marissa, back to bed." Bianca said to the kids who raised to their rooms.

"Now, Ms. Montgomery where were we?" Marissa asked as she draped her arms around Bianca's neck before kissing her deeply.

The End.
