Chapter 59: Chapter 59

Stefan's POV

The whole week we basked in the glory of our newfound relationship. I took out time for Rosy and we went out on dates. Each time we explored new places, we enjoyed it more. With Arielle's birthday coming up, this time she took the initiative. Buying stuff for Arielle's surprise party, she made all the planning and completed all the preparations, all by herself. We invited all of Arielle's old friends as well as new school friends.

Finally, on the day of her birthday, she refused to go to school.

"You have to go to school," I ordered her but she wouldn't listen at all.

"Why won't you go to school, sweetie?" asked Rosy. Arielle shook her head vehemently while I looked at them.

"My friends make fun of me on my birthday," said Arielle. I was stunned by her admission.

"Why would they? Aren't they, your friends?" Rosy asked her, looking concerned.

"Yes but still they made fun of me on my birthday, every time," said Arielle with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry, this time no one will make fun of you. I'll dress you up in a beautiful birthday dress. I'll give you chocolates to distribute in your class and then we'll drop you off at school. You can tell everyone that your mommy and daddy have invited all your friends to your birthday party today evening, okay?" Rosy said, making Arielle's eyes go wide with surprise.

"Really? You've invited everyone to my party?" asked Arielle. Rosy and I nodded. We had considered having a surprise birthday party but considering Arielle's situation, Rosy decided to tell her so that she could save herself if her friends asked.

She squealed with delight. For the first time in her life, she wouldn't be ashamed on her birthday. She had a complete family, a mom, as well as a dad, and no one would make fun of her.

"Thank you, mommy. Thank you, daddy," she said, kissing us on our cheeks.

"Happy birthday, sweetie," said Rosy. I too hugged her and wished her for the fourth time.

"Hurry up and get ready. I'll make your favorite breakfast. Your birthday celebrations start now," said Rosy. Arielle squealed with delight.

"Yay, this is the best birthday ever," she said, rushing upstairs to her room where Beth was preparing her school bag.

Afterward, we dropped Arielle off at school. She looked like the princess she really is. Her friends came forward to greet her and she proudly showed Rosy around.

Later, we returned home and I got ready for work. "Are you joining work today?" I asked Rosy.

"I'll just go down to the institute and get my schedule. I'll start tomorrow," said Rosy.

"I'll come back early," I told her.

I was overwhelmed by the morning episode today. For the first time, I saw Arielle look happy on her birthday. Every year, she was always restless, cranky, and inconsolable and we had no clue as to why. We would do everything in our power to celebrate her birthday the best possible way but it was never enough. It's only now that we know that her friends made fun of her since she didn't have a mom in her life. They blamed her for her mom's absence in her life. I had no idea that Arielle was being bullied this way by the other children. Thank God, all that is over and she's happy now.

In the evening, the birthday party was a big hit. Rosy dressed Arielle up in a pink satin dress that made her look angelic, like a fairy. All the little children enjoyed the party and so did their parents. Rosy had planned it to perfection with nail painting stations, video game stalls, hair styling stations, tattoo artists, indoor rides, and everything. It was a paradise for the little kids. None of the children wanted to go back home.

So when the party was over, Arielle kissed everyone. "Thank you for the best birthday party ever," she said. I thanked Rosy for her efforts. She was the best mom indeed for Arielle.

"This weekend we'll be going out on a farm trip. You, me, and your mommy. How would you like that?" I asked her. Arielle's face brightened up with excitement.

"Really? I've never gone to a farm, daddy," she said with wide excited eyes.

"Neither have I," said Rosy, making me smile.

"Great then. We'll enjoy it all the more. Start packing! It's a two-day trip," I told them.

The rest of the week, Arielle was on cloud nine. Rosy packed up for us and soon it was Friday afternoon and the moment I returned from work, they were after me.

"We're going tomorrow morning. Wake up early and be ready by 6 o'clock," I told them.

Rosy tucked an excited Arielle to bed quite early so that she could wake up early.

The moment Rosy came into the room, I picked her up and carried her to the bed with me.

"Do you know why I planned the farm outing?" I asked her.

"To please Arielle?" she guessed the obvious. I shook my head at her.

"Then?" she asked with curiosity.

"It's a pre-honeymoon for us," I told her.

Her jaws dropped with surprise. "There's no such thing as a pre-honeymoon. Okay?" she told me.

"Of course, there is. It's the honeymoon before the actual one," I pointed out to her.

"I know that you made it up just now," she giggled.

"Fine but still it will be a pre-honeymoon," I insisted.

"How? With Arielle around?" she asked.

"When she sleeps," I told her, making her roll her eyes.

"How are you so desperate?" she giggled.

"Is it something new? I become this way around you," I said, making her laugh.

"Ready for a shower together? I'm feeling rather sticky," I said and before she could answer, I picked her up in my arms and carried her to the en-suite for a shower. I placed her on the huge vanity while I started the bath.

"Why do you always manhandle me?" she asked with a twinkle in her eye.

"Because I'm a caveman," I said, making her laugh.

I approached her and started taking off her clothes. Then I stripped and helped her down, I led her to the bathtub. I slipped inside the tub and pulled her naked body onto my lap. My whole body was on fire despite being immersed in water. Rosy felt so good on me that my organ twitched to life, ready to slip inside her.

"I need to be inside you, Rosy," I whispered, grinding myself against her. She pulled my head and kissed me wildly, taking my breath away. My hands roamed all over her body. I couldn't get enough of her. I positioned her above me and pulled her closer, slipping into her entirely. It was the wildest and hottest lovemaking that followed, taking our breaths away. I grunted as I increased my pace and she moaned with pleasure, clasping onto my shoulders. Our climax was so powerful that we needed a moment to gather our breaths together.

Later we bathed each other lovingly and returned to the bedroom to sleep. Tomorrow we would go on our first short vacation as a family and I could feel the excitement in Rosy and Arielle. Their infectious feelings caught on and even I was looking forward to our pre-honeymoon excitedly.
