Stephanie POV

"Ella, Hector's Tia Ella is here? Let's go" I grabbed Carlos' hand to pull him out of his office.

I would love to say I dragged him through the cubical maze and to the elevator, but I know better. If he didn't want to move he wasn't gonna.

He did something with his key chain after we got into the elevator. I just bounced so excited to see Tia Ella and Tio Luis, they are awesome wrapped up in loving souls.

This day started crappy and just keeps getting better and better, first I don't get the job I try for at my weasel of a cousins bond office but out of no where I meet a gorgeous man. My car is reposed but I have lunch with him at my Aunt T's and Uncle Joe's café. He takes me on a tour of his business where I find my long lost Hector. I find out the my mother is a bitch to the extreme making my best friend feel like he needed to step out my life, screw her I have him back and I have this unbelievable connection to this man of mystery that I met today. I get a job at his company but not working for him, but his best friend/second in command, I get to put my degree to use. I also find out that Morelli killed someone, 'supposedly', but get to give some info on getting his harry ass to jail. Then get invited to dinner with said hunky man all to be told that Tia Ella and Tio Luis are here too.

I could hardly control my excitement when the elevator doors open on the sixth floor. They skyrocket after Carlos knocked on the door; waiting for that door to open was the worse kind of torture anyone could ever come up with. Finally, the door opened to show Tia Ella standing there; she nodded at Carlos before her eyes landed on me. She let out the loudest scream while I hurled myself into her arms.

Tio Luis came running from the back of the apartment to see why his wife screamed to find the two of us on the floor, giggling and crying in each other arms. When he saw it was me, he fell to the floor and engulfed both of us.

The barrage of words that flew through the three of us. "I've missed you, so much, where have you been?" "Estefanía, i dulce niña, aquí en mis brazos Oh mis oraciones han sido contestadas." "Estefanía va a ninguna parte Ella, ella está aquí, está aquí para quedarse en nuestros brazos."

We broke apart for after Tia Ella and I stopped crying. Carlos held his hands out to help us up off the floor. Once we were all vertical again, Tia Ella had a hold of my hand and walked us into their apartment. We all get situated in the living room, me sandwiched between Tia and Tio on the couch and Carlos sitting in a chair watching the three of us with an awed look on his face taking in our interactions like he was hypnotized.

"Oh my sweet girl, I have missed you. You have seen Hector, yes? He will be so happy to have you back again. I swear he hasn't been the same since he walked away no matter what happiness he has found in his life, he needs you Estefanía."

She looks at my face and reads my thoughts as she always has. "Yes we know all about what your mother said to him. You do not worry about that now, we will deal with that when the time comes. Come tell us what has been going on with you, did you marry? Are you happy? What are you doing here at RangeMan?"

I started giggling again; I can't help it this is the best feeling in the world. My Hector, my Tia and Tio are back in my life and this new magnificent man has made it and so much more possible.

"Slow down Tia, I did marry Dickie, but that was my fault I shouldn't have married him. My mother wanted to set me up with him but after Hector left my life, I was so miserable I gave into her demands. I was pretty much numbed; I thought I was making everyone happy by marring the Dick. Turns out, he likes to emulate his name and had an affair with skanky Joyce on our dinning room table; we had a loud and public divorce. I got a job at EE Martin, but they got closed down by the feds so I was out of work. I went to my cousin Vinnie's bonds office looking for a filing job where I met Carlos. It has been a whirlwind of a day I tell ya, so now I work for Tank, I am the newest RangeMan employee."

I look over at Carlos and wink at him "Does that make me a RangeWOman?"

The smile on his face would have said it all if he hadn't said "Babe."

I just giggled again. "So on our tour of the place I found Hector, or Hector found me I'm not really sure how that happened but suffice to say we found each other! I am so happy to not only have him back again, but when I found out your both here I dragged Carols to bring me to you."

Looking at Carlos again, he just raised that one eyebrow. I wonder if he can raise the other one, can he alternate between rising of the eyebrows. Hmmm more to ponder later on what else he can raise.

Directing my attention back to Tia and Tio, "I haven't been happy in such a long time, but today oh today has been wonderful, hard but complete and utterly wonderful. And to top it all off, Carlos has asked me to dinner in his apartment and told me that you left dinner. I can't wait to have some of your delicious food, been too long for my taste buds to be blessed out." I don't think my smile will ever go away.

Tia chuckled "Ok, sweet girl go have dinner with Carlos but you come right back down to us. We have been without you for way too long and you will spend the night with us as you use too. I will make you breakfast and spoil you rotten tomorrow. Yes?"

"Si Tia" I giggled, best day EVER!
