Chapter 15
It's the morning after the wedding and Sean and Emma are laying in their hotel bed with Emma laying her head on Sean's chest and her left arm draped over his torso. Sean wakes up and looks over at Emma sleeping peacefully next to him, the sun shining perfectly against her face.
Emma (groans): What time is it?
Sean: Half past 9 baby.
Emma wakes up and looks over to see Sean staring at her, smiling, as he runs his fingers through her hair
Emma: What's wrong?
Sean: You look so beautiful with the way the sun is shining against you
Emma smiles as Sean kisses her forehead
Emma (groans): I could love you forever.
Sean: Good, because I will spend forever and a day loving you, having a family with you.
Emma: Well, it's a good thing we already started a family
Emma smiles as she places her hand on her stomach
Sean: I hope the baby has your smile
Emma: I can't wait to see what we're having

Chester: Go get cleaned up, we'll go out to dinner, we'll have a well deserved date night
Manny: How about we order take out, curl up on the couch and watch some movies, and end the night with a little romance
Manny said as she wraps her hands arounds the back of Chester's neck
Chester: I do love the sound of that
Chester Smiles. Manny goes inside and changes.
Manny: Let's go get food.
Chester: I'll go get food, you just stay here and get comfortable. I'll be back in a little bit
Chester kisses Manny as he leaves to go get takeout. A little while later, Chester returns with food.
Manny: Mmm smells good.
They get their food and go sit on the couch, while watching a movie and enjoy each other's company. They finish eating and snuggle on the couch.
Chester: Hey
Manny looks up at Chester
Chester: You know you're my world.
Manny buries her head in Chester's Chest as she playful draws hearts on his chest
Manny: Yea, I know baby.
Chester: What's wrong, babygirl?
Manny: Nothing honey, I'm fine.
Manny leans up and kisses Chester
Chester: Baby-
Manny: I'm ok, I promise sweetie
Chester pauses the movie and sits up on the couch as he looks deep into Manny's eyes
Chester: Princess, what's wrong? I can see it in your eyes baby.
Manny (voice breaks): I just want to enjoy this time with you. I don't want to talk about it.
Chester: Manny, honey-
Manny: I can't-
Manny gets up from couch and goes in the other room as a tear rolls down her cheek
Chester: Baby!
Chester follows after her to see her staring out the window softly crying
Chester: Mi amor, what's got you upset, Princess? Talk to me.
Chester pulls Manny into his arms as she continues to cry
Chester: Whatever it is, it's going to be ok, baby. I'm right here.
Manny sniffles as she looks up at Chester
Manny: I'm scared, ok?
Chester: Scared about what, babe?
Manny: The obvious, of course. Losing you.
Chester: Manuela Rose Santos, look at me baby.
Manny looks into Chester's eyes
Chester: I have been in love with you, since high school. I've never been happier than I have been since we got together, 3 ½ amazing years ago. I took you to Niagara Falls for the holidays and asked you to marry me.
Manny: So.
Manny lets go of Chester and stares out the window
Chester: So, do you really think I would want to give you my last name and start a family with you if I was going to leave you, for Bianca?
Manny looks at Chester
Manny: How? How did you know?
Chester: I know you better than you think I do beautiful.
Manny closes her eyes as a tear rolls down
Manny: What if she gets out? What if she crashes our wedding?
Chester: Baby, relax. She's not getting out anytime soon. Our wedding is still at least a year away.
Manny: I had a dream last week; I didn't want to say anything because I was trying to keep myself busy and distracted so I wouldn't think about it.
Chester walks up behind Manny and rubs her arms
Chester: What was it?
Manny (voice breaks): We were married, you left me pregnant, for her.
Manny (cries): We were married, we were happy!
Chester pulls Manny into his arms as she pounds on his chest crying
Chester: It's ok honey, it was just a dream. I would never ever do that to you. I want you to be my wife, the mother of my children, my everything.
Manny: Everyday, since the fire at your old house, I have this fear she will get out and come after you.
Chester: Let her try. Because nothing will keep me from you.
Manny: I love you, so fucking much. More than anyone I could ever love.
Chester holds Manny in his arms as she cries
Chester: I know babygirl. I love you too.
Manny: I'm tired of secretly living in fear everyday wondering if today will be the day I get that phone call, no fiancée wants to receive
Chester: You won't, I promise. I'm not going to let anything happen, Bianca is in Jail for at least 2 years.
Manny: It would destroy me if I lost you, you know that?
Chester's voice starts to crack
Chester: You don't think it'll hurt me just as much? If not more?
Chester: It breaks my heart already seeing you hurting like this babe.
Manny: I'm sorry
Chester: You have nothing to be sorry about baby. Not a single thing
Manny: She's already tried to kill you once, with the help of her brother
Chester: They're both in jail for a couple years, they're not going to get anywhere near you and I, or our Wedding day.
Manny wraps her arounds around Chester while he rubs her back, as she tries to calm down
Chester: I Love you so much, nothing will stop me from seeing you walk down that aisle in your wedding dress
Manny (sniffles): I love you.
Chester: I love you, Princess.
Chester takes Manny by the hands
Chester: Baby, listen, I would marry you tomorrow if you wanted to.
Manny: I know.
Chester: Nothing and no one can keep me from marrying you, I promise you
Chester lifts Manny's chin and softly kisses her.
Manny: I've just never felt more in love with anyone before.
Chester (Smiles): Good, I promise you're in good hands baby.
Manny wraps her arms around Chester
Manny: You mean so much to me.
Chester: Same here babe.
Manny: Come on, let's go lay in bed and watch a movie
Chester: How about we make some more plans for the wedding?
Manny smiles
