Hi Readers: What are you guys thinking of where I'm going with the story for far? Now, I know that today is Matt and Gabby's anniversary (in the story); and that means that I should be covering them, but I have decided that I am not just going to cover them laying down in bed when I have other things that I can cover. And I hope that you understand that, and are okay with me giving you a bit of an insight into the lives of the staff; after all, what's better than seeing how normal people live rather than the upper class? Maybe make this a mix of Downton Abby-meets-One Chicago (with a bit of Jane the Virgin). What do you think of that?

Well, I would love to hear what you guys think in the comments; so please leave me some and let me know whether you guys are enjoying how I am writing this story…and whether you want me to continue this way. Hope you continue to like my story, thanks.

Chapter Two Hundred and Three
The First ELLA Photoshoot

If you asked Rafael Solano a year ago if he'd be doing this right now, then he'd tell you that you were absolutely crazy; him, a model alongside his wife Jane? Well, you'd have to be crazy and just make him go crazy. I mean, things have just been so crazy for them over the past seven months; but if you asked him if he'd change anything, then the answer would most definitely be no. And that would be due to the fact that he's become both a father (to Matteo on May 11th), and a husband (to Jane on July 31st) this past year; and that's just perfect, as it's what to be to his beautiful family. All he wants to be in life, is to be Jane's husband, and Matteo's dad; and that's exactly what he is right now, and he's so glad that he's Jane's husband when she looks like that. God, the way that she looks during this photoshoot is really turning him on; and that's just something that he's so happy about, the way that he gets to be the man to hold that woman in his arms each and every day. And he can even tell that she isn't just doing this for her boss, but for him; to tease him.

To turn him on, and to try and convince him to go for a baby girl; because that's something that they're already talking about, how they both want a daughter. But that's something that isn't going to happen anytime soon, as he's not ready to have another baby; at least not while the company is still growing, because he's still a bit weary when it comes to the stability of their jobs. I mean, they are basically just putting their faith in a businessman who just started the company; and it's not like he's starting slow, but he's actually going quite fast. But that's okay, because he's happy in his life; he has a gorgeous wife, and an amazing son. And as long as he has them, a job, and a roof to put over their heads; well, that's all that he needs at the end of the day. And Jane already knows that, as it's all she needs as well; especially since her mom isn't ready to be a grandmother to two yet, because she's still quite young. In fact, they are both in their mid thirties (35); and they already have a son, who loves his Abuela more than anything in the entire world.

But not just his Abuela, but his Abuelo and Bisabuela too. Yes, his great-grandmother is alive as well; and speaking of abuelo, did you know that his father-in-law just so happens to be a TV star? His name is Rogelio de la Vega, a famous telenovela star, which is something that his wife only learned while she was pregnant with their son. So, to say that their life is crazy; well, that most definitely is something that you could call their life. Heck, with all the plot twists the come with their life; you could always say that their life is everything you need for a high-quality telenovela. A telenovela where they are the start of their own show and are glad that this is what they are doing; but right now, that's not what he needs to concentrate on. Not when his gorgeous wife is currently in the midst of doing a sexy photoshoot, which is everything that he wants to look at right now; he wants to look at his beautiful wife, as she does a bikini photoshoot. And boy is she gorgeous, and he is so glad that he has the honor to have this woman as his wife, and his son's mom.

He just wishes that he had his hand on her body and was currently in the midst of holding her close to his chest; not that Jane would be against that, but they aren't the one who are currently in charge of the photoshoot. Rather, that would be Jane's boss Stella; she was in charge of the photoshoot, and she was the one that had to make sure that she did a good job. And so far, she's doing a great job; but you don't need to ask him if that's the truth, because their boss was thinking (and stating) the same thing as she walked up to him. "Well, I think that we both know that your wife is going a great job." Turning his head after hearing Ms. Severide say that, Rafael agreed with her and smiled. "I don't want to be cocky and all, but I…" Stella laughed as she heard Rafael say that, as she could see that he was currently in the midst of staring at his wife right now. "I can only imagine that you like the sight in front of you?" Rafael agreed. "Yes, I do. But I know that I need to calm down and just take it easy." Stella agreed with Rafael, smiling at his boss.

"I'm just glad that you're okay with helping out with the photoshoot." Smiling at bit, Rafael snickered a bit as he was more than happy to be helping with the photoshoot; after all, there was another reason behind him wanting to help with a photoshoot. A reason that was a bit more personal, which was that he wanted to spend some more time with his wife ahead of the holidays. "No, it's absolutely fine. To tell you the truth, I'm glad that you guys asked; because it gives me time to spend with my wife, and just get to watch her do her things. And she really is a great model, and I'm really proud." Stella agreed with Rafael as he said that, clearly able to see that. "I can see that's the case." Rafael smiled as he heard Stella say that, before looking at the woman he loves as she continued to model. "Just curious, am I just going to model alone; or am I modelling with my wife? I haven't exactly gotten an explanation on that front." Stella agreed with Rafael as he said that. "I was thinking that we could do both. It's why you're in swimwear right now."

Rafael agreed with Stella as she said that, well aware that was the case. "Are we just doing swimwear today?" Stella agreed with Rafael as he asked her whether they were just doing swimwear today, as that was exactly what they were doing. "Yeah, I want to just do one thing at a time; not switch things up. I know that it gets hot here in Hawaii, so it's just a waste of time to have all of you guys clean up; and then go ahead and change into everything else, and I am just glad that you're here right now." Rafael agreed with his boss as she said that. "Are we doing pictures in the pool too?" Stella agreed. "Yes, I think that we are. But we're going to start with Mario and Bella, as they are already in the pool." Rafael agreed with Stella as she said that, before turning to look at his wife; before seeing that she was hiding her scar, which made him thing about something. "Just curious, you want to have models who are proud moms right?" Stella agreed. "Yeah, it's why we asked Jane to help out." Rafael smiled. "Want her to show off the scars?" Stella agreed.

"Yes, please! God, I love that idea." Rafael agreed. "Then tell her to move her hand, because she's hiding them." Stella agreed with Rafael as he said that, before walking back over to the photoshoot. "Jane?" Turning to look at her boss, Jane smiled. "Yes Ms. Severide?" Stella then smiled as she made her way over to her, and went to move her hand, which them prompted Jane to look at her husband. "Seriously Raf? You told her why I had my hand there?" Walking over to his wife, Rafael agreed as he thought that she was beautiful. "Jane, you're beautiful; and you need to show off your post-baby body, which is gorgeous. Don't hide your scars because they are part of you. And if I love them, then other people should see them too." Stella agreed with Raf as he said that, before smiling at her model. "Hey, Jane; look at me." Turning to look at her boss, Jane agreed. "Jane, me, and Gabby started this line so that we could do this for moms; for working moms, and for mothers who just gave birth. So please, don't hide." Jane agreed with her boss.

At the same time, Rafael made his way over to Stella; after all, he felt like he can talk to her too. "Stella, do you mind if I speak to my wife for a moment? I can see that she's nervous, and I would like to get her to relax." Stella agreed with Raf as he said that, before smiling at him. "Thanks Rafael let's just get this going. Maybe I can go talk to Mario and Bella, make them know what poses we want them to practice." Raf agreed with Stella as she said that, liking those ideas as she walked away; at the same time, Rafael made his way over to Jane so that he can talk to her. He wants to make sure that she knows that she's beautiful, and that she has to reason to hide her scars; she should be proud of those scars, because they represent something. They represent the fact that she gave birth to their son Matteo, whom they love more than anything in the entire world; almost as much as he loves his wife, whom is the most beautiful woman in the entire world (in his eyes). And that was something he was going to make clear to his wife, as he held her close.

Looking at his wife as he wrapped his arms around her, Raf smiled as he looked at Jane (who soon wrapped her arms around his back); at the same time, Raf smiled as he bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves, Raf smiled due to the fact that it was everything that he wanted to do right now; he wanted to take things nice and slow with Jane, so that he can remind her that he loves her more than anything in the entire world…and that she's very beautiful, even after giving birth to Matteo. Moving his hands to her hips, Raf smiled as he looked at Jane and then moved his hand to her neck; at the same time, he stroked her cheek and smiled at the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "Jane, I see what you're doing. And you're trying to hide your scars." Jane sighed as she looked down, as she didn't think that he could see that. "How did you notice that?" Raf smiled as he looked at his beautiful wife, before pushing her head up and looking at her. "It's okay Jane, because I love you."

Jane agreed with Raf as he said that, before smiling as she leaned up and kissed her dreamy husband; whom she loves more than anything in the entire world, and just got close to her so that she can wrap her arms around him. And god, she loves the feeling of his strong arms around her; because it's the best feeling in the entire world. After which, he turned his head and smiled as he kissed her forehead softly. At the same time, Jane turned her head and looked up at the man of her dreams. "I love you Rafael." Rafael agreed with Jane as he said that, well aware that was the case. "I love you too, and I'm glad that this is our life; the life that we have with Matteo, and each other. And I hope you know that I want to have a baby girl someday, which means that you're going to have another scar; which will just make you even more beautiful, because they represent the children that we have…and will have in the future." Jane smiled as she heard Raf say that, because that was the first time that she thought about it that way.

"Let me guess, that was the first time that you thought about it that way?" Jane agreed with Rafael as he said that, because that most definitely was the first time that she thought about it that way. After which, Rafael proceeded to kiss her forehead softly (while also moving his hand to the side of her face); stroking her cheek, Rafael smiled as he pushed her head up and then bent down so that he could take things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "I love you Jane, and I am so glad that you're doing this; because I want to see more models like you, female, Latina models who are models. And it makes me proud that you're one of the leads on this project, which is why I don't want you to feel ashamed of how gorgeous you are; because you are extremely beautiful, and I am not just saying that because I'm your husband. I mean that from the bottom of my heart." Jane agreed with her loving husband as he said that, before stepping close to him; after which, she put her hand on his muscular chest.

At the same time, Rafael wrapped his arms around her and leaned in to take things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "I love you Jane, and that's always going to be the case." Jane agreed with Rafael as he said that, before smiling as she proceeded to cuddle up to the man she loves once again; and that most certainly was something that she enjoys doing, as does Rafael. "Tonight, we're going to have to do this with Matteo; he must miss his mom already, since he hasn't been away from her all day like this." Jane agreed with Rafael as he said that, as that was something that she already knew; and that she was going to have to spend some time with their little guy. "Can't wait." Raf agreed with Jane as she said that, smiling as she went to grab her hand so that they could make their way over to the pool (where their friends are currently modelling with each other); and let's just say that they were all over each other, which is something that they used to be…prior to them having Matteo, their baby boy.

The original plan was for them to do each of the individual models, before going ahead with doing couple photoshoots, which would be done with Jane and Rafael, as well as Mario and Bella together in the pool. And those pictures would be done with each married couple being partnered up with each other, which was great as they already have chemistry; chemistry that you could see in the camera, because they were just so happy as they looked at each other. And that was exactly what you could see as you looked at Mario and Bella, as they held each other close in the pool; with Bella cuddling up to her muscular husband, with her hand on his chest (while Mario had his hand on her back). At the same time, he was smirking at her due to the fact that she was wearing a really little bikini, which was really sexy, and everybody knew that Mario was liking the sight that was in front of him. And that was due to the fact that Bella is wearing a very sexy bikini, which Mario hopes that she gets to keep, which is why he asked a question.

Turning his head, Mario looked at Bella's boss. "Just curious, does Bella get to keep this bikini?" Laughing a bit as she heard Mario say that, Bella cuddled up to him before kissing his chest. At the same time, Stella smiled at the could in front of her. "Of course, she gets to keep it Mario, because it was created for her; plus, it's not like I have any use for it." Mario agreed with Stella as she said that because that most certain was the truth. In fact, he even had something that he wanted to do with it later, which was take it off, before taking Bella to bed. After all, they both want to have a baby; and that's something that they want to have more often. But little did Mario know that Bella was thinking the same way, and that this was going to be her last photoshoot before she has a baby. And it was something that she wants to talk to Stella about, right after they do this photoshoot; she wants to tell her that she wants to have a baby with her husband, and that she decided to do it now…as they were done with the bikini photoshoot.

That was something that she wanted to do, as she was the head model for this shoot; as she was loving it, but that didn't mean that she was going to enjoy it while she was pregnant…because that was something that she wanted to enjoy with Mario only. She only want him to see her in a bikini, and that was always going to be the case. Another thing she likes? The feeling of her husband's hand on her leg, as he adjusted the strings of her bikini, which was something that he did for her, because he wanted her to look good. And that most certain was exactly how Bella looked, as she looked absolutely gorgeous. And he can only imagine what she's going to look like when she's naked in his arms, and when they're making love to each other; maybe even this afternoon, trying to have a baby with her dreamy husband. But right now, she was just dreaming of it; which is why Mario just kissed her neck. "Hey, Bells. You okay?" Turning her head to look at Mario, Bella agreed. "Yeah, of course." Looking at his wife as he felt her grab his head, Mario bit his lip.

At the same time, he moved his hand to her back; at the same time, Bella got close to him again. Meanwhile, Mario started to whisper to her: "Bella, are you okay? If you're getting too hot, then you can take a break. In fact, I want you to take a break if you feel like you need to." Bella shook her head as she turned her head and looked at Mario. "I'm okay, I promise." Mario was a bit hesitant when he heard Bella say that, but he did ultimately believe her; however, it seemed like Stella could tell that something was wrong. "Mario, Bella, you guys okay?" Turning his head Mario agreed. "I'm making sure that she's okay Ms. Severide." Stella smiled. "Of course, I hope that she is okay." Bella agreed with Stella as she said that, before smiling as she turned her head and looked at Mario. "Let's just get these pictures done, and I would like to talk to you after; okay Ms. Severide?" Stella agreed with Bella as she said that, before turning her head and looking at her husband once again. After which, she leaned in and kissed him softly during the photoshoot.

"I love you." Mario agreed with Bella as she said that, as he loves her too; and he also loves the fact that they're currently doing a photoshoot together, with him being her partner. "Mario, how about you take off her bra and just give us a sexy picture to show us that the bikini turns men on?" Turning his head to look at Stella, Mario agreed with her as he loves that idea. "Oh, I love that idea." Wrapping his arms around Bella, Mario smirked as he went ahead and grabbed his wife's bra; at the same time, Bella wrapped her arms around his neck and cuddled up to him. Running his hands up and down Bella's back, Mario smirked due to the fact that he loves the feeling of her gorgeous body against his chest; after which, he turned his head and bent down to kiss her neck softly. "God, you are so damn sexy." Bella agreed with Mario as he said that, smiling due to the fact that this is exactly what she wants right now. She wants to have fun with her husband, as they do this during a photoshoot. But then, she's going to talk to her boss.

AN HOUR LATER (10:45 AM) - They just finished doing the photoshoot this morning, which was good because it was starting to get hot, which was one of the reasons why Stella decided to end the photoshoot, and they would continue tomorrow. They got some good pictures today, and they are done with the models that they need. They have their stars done, and that's all they need for the campaign; and that also means that Bella can relax, because Stella is worried about her. And that's something that Stella is going to talk about, because that was something that was abnormal. Walking up behind her star model, Stella put her hand on Bella's back before looking at her. "Hey, Bella? Can we talk." Turning around, Bella agreed. "Of course, Ms. Severide." Stella shook her head as she heard Bella say that, as that was not what she wanted to hear. "Please, call me Stella; especially when it deals with your health. Are you okay Bella?" Bella took a breath but agreed with her boss. "I could tell that you were worried about me then."

Stella agreed with Bella as she said that, as she was. "Bella, of course I am. This is a family company, and we care about all of our employees. Bella, you are one of our start models; and I was just a bit worried." Bella agreed with Stella as she said that, before smiling as she proceeded to grab her hand; after which, she smiled at him. "Listen, I'm sorry that I got distracted. But I think that I know why I was spacing out." Stella agreed with Bella as she said that, hoping that she could hear about it. "Why's that?" Bella smiled. "I was thinking about something that I want. More specifically, what I want to do with regards to my family. Do you mind if I speak to you about that?" Stella agreed with the model because she wants to hear it. "Is everything okay Bella?" Bella agreed with her boss, smiling. "Yes, I promise that everything is fine. But, I guess I just want to talk to you about how my contract is. How I'm the star model and everything, and that I'm your lead right now." Stella agreed with her star model, before smiling at her to show she's listening.

"But I've been spending some time with the Solanos recently, and I see how she is with Matteo; and I guess…" Stella then started to understand. "You're thinking about it with Mario?" Bella agreed. "I was thinking about how to have this conversation with you, and I just wanted to know if I had to clear it with you or…." Stella just stopped her. "Oh my god Bella, no; of course, you don't have to, because I'm not going to stop you when it comes to that. Bella, you are allowed to make decisions for your family; you can do whatever you want. Now, don't tell my husband…" Turning to look at Mario, Stella just admired him; before turning to look at Bella again, smirking. "If I had a husband that looked like that, I would want to get pregnant by him too." Bella laughed as she heard Stella say that, before going to hug her. "He's married to me ma'am." Stella agreed with Bella as she said that, well aware that was the case. "I know what you mean. But please don't worry about what you're worried about. Please, go ahead and have a baby with him."

Bella agreed with Stella as she said that, happy to do just that. "I know, I shouldn't be asking but…" Stella just smiled. "This conversation never happened." Bella agreed with Stella as she said that, smiling as she went to hug her again; after which, he made her way over to the man she loves as he put his shirt on. "So, I got the news that we did a good job." Turning around to look at his wife, Mario agreed before moving to get close to the woman he loves; after which, he wrapped his arm around her. "Good, I'm glad. Now listen, what do you say we go home? I already texted my supervisor, and I said that I was working from home today; for your health." Bella just looked at Mario as he said that, unsure as to what he was talking about. "Mario, I…" Mario then just looked at his wife, before going to grab her hand. "Bella, this isn't up for debate. You're going to go home, and relax in bed with me; okay?" Moving her hand to his face, Bella agreed as she was okay with that. "Okay." Mario agreed with Bella as she said that, before kissing her softly.

"I love you Mario." Mario agreed with Bella as she said that, before going to give her water to her. "Here, drink up." Bella agreed with Mario as he went to grab her water and went to take a sip; at the same time, Mario went to grab his bag so that they can head home…and so that his wife can relax, and so that she can recover from the distraction that she had; because that was something that he was worried about right now. His wife's health, and he has every right to worry about her; especially when she spaces out on a hot day, which is exactly what happened today during the photoshoot. And that was exactly what Mario was quite worried about. But now, it's time for them to head home. Grabbing his bag, Mario smiled as he went to put it over his shoulder; after which, he got close to the woman he loves and wrapped his arm around her. Moving his hand to her butt, Mario smiled as he got close to Bella and then leaned in to kiss her softly; at the same time, Bella moved her hands to his muscular chest and kissed him softly this morning.

Moving his hand up Bella's side, Mario smiled due to the fact that he was glad that this is what he was doing; and that he was going to be able to take his wife home, which is where she needs to be right now. She needs to relax, and she needs to take it easy.
