Leahs pov
I'm with Emme and Sofia at Disneyland this time. Jens out with her mom and Emilia spending the day together.
"Can I ask you girls both something..really important?" I say to them as we were eating.
"What is it?" Emme asks.
"Okay..well. Your mom and I..since we are a couple right?" I said and paused. How am I gonna explain this to two girls? I have to explain it safely to Emme because she's my girlfriends daughter. Then Sofia because she's my daughter. They're both okay with the whole same gender thing but wow. I'm really gonna talk to them about marrying Jennifer.
"Okay I'm just gonna go straight to it. Will you guys be all okay and fine with me marrying Jennifer?" I asked. I got nervous but surprisingly they both screamed with happiness. My heart melted. "What??" I ask. "Yes do it!!" Sofia says. "Really?" "Yea! You and mommy should get married!!" Emme said "You guys both know how that all goes right?"
"Yeah. You give mommy a ring and she gets happy. Then one day mommy will be in a pretty white dress walking and I would throw flowers everywhere! I could do it with Sofia! Then you and mommy are in front and kiss and cry and everyone gets happy" Emme says. "Oh wow..haha..how do you know all this?" "I've been to weddings"
Aww..I wanna go with jen to a wedding. See how pretty she'd look and dress up.. and then we'd talk to each other saying 'That's gonna be us one day' and just imagine how our wedding would be from watching a wedding happen together....one day.
"oh I see. Well you're right..kinda. But yeah that could work" I giggle. "Mom you should actually marry her." Sofia says. "Are you Okay with that? Because I'll only do it if you two are okay with it" "yeees mom just do it!" "Emme?" I ask and Emme nods her head happily.
"Mommy said you'll be my other mommy if you two get married and I want you to be my mommy" she said cutely. I didn't realize Jennifer talks to Emme about us getting married.
"Awww. Really?" "Yes!!!" She yells. I smiled like an idiot. Emme goes over to my chair and hugs me tight and looks up at me. "Pleeeaaase" she whines. I'm actually very shocked how easy and quickly this went. "Okay okay I'll marry her" I giggled. The girls both screamed. Everyone was looking but I ignored.
"Dont tell Jennifer though. It's supposed to be a surprise."
"When are you buying the ring? Can we help you pick?!"
"Of course you can! Maybe I'll go check some out next week and I'll take you both with me"
Emme and Sofia look at each other and get excited. "Okay but you guys really have to promise me that you don't tell any body. It's just between us three" I said. Emme sticks out her pinky and says "pinky promise" I locked my pinky with hers then Sofia did the same.
I sighed and smiled again. Well that's cleared up. Now i have to ask her moms permission.. and tell my family. I'm so nervous and excited to even think about buying her a ring. I've been saving money. She knows I have but she doesn't know it's for a ring. Now I don't know how the whole two girls marrying each other goes.. like if I have to buy two rings or she has to buy me one too or what, but for now I'm just going to buy her one. Of course I want a ring too. To symbolize that I've gotta wife.. and I've also been wanting to get a tattoo like she has for Emme. But I want one for Sofia and Emilia..and Emme too? I don't know. Just a thought. I don't know where I'd put it though. I'd also get Jens name tattooed somewhere on me. Probably on my shoulder or under my boob. Maybe she should be under my boob since she's always around that area.. then the girls name on my shoulder? I don't know. I'll see. I'll ask jen. But focus on marrying her first.

The girls and I got home. Jens mom was here so I said hi and gave her a hug. She was holding Emilia too.
"You look gorgeous Lupe" I said to her and smiled. "Oh thank you Leah honey! So do you" she says back. Emilia just did something that kind of hit me. She reached her arms out for me the same exact way Emme would always want me to carry her. Jens mom gave Emilia to me and I carried her in my arms.
"Hi babygirl" I said and softly pokes her nose. She started to form a smile and I kissed her several times on her cheek. I love Emilia so so so much.
"So you're not even gonna say hi to me?" Jen says. I look up at her and shake my head and walk over to her. "Hi babe" I smiled and kissed her for a second.
"Were the girls good today?"
"Of course. We had so much fun. Talked about a lot of things. Ate a lot...I might've bought them something" I said. Jen looks at the girls who had the Disney bags.
"Hm..well what did you get for me? I know you didn't forget me"
"Oh.." I said and Jens face gets all serious. "Joking! I got you and your mom a necklace. I bought Emilia a baby Disney sweater. It's a bit big but I wanted to get her earrings. But she hasn't gotten her piercings yet."
"Oh okay. Well thank you" she smiles. I give the necklace to her mom too.
After dinner, jen went upstairs to put Emilia to sleep. That gave me time to talk to her mom before she left. Yeah I'm asking her the same day I asked the girls.
"Hey, can I ask you a question Lupe?"
"Of course? What is it?"
"Well..I-uh..hm.." I pause and she's looking at me interested on what I'm gonna say. I know her mom loves me but I'm just scared she'll say no. Even because jen was worried back then that her mom wouldn't even want another girl to raise Emme but she accepted that a long time ago. Now it's marriage. I don't know.
"I'm gonna make this quick because jen won't take that long with Emilia but anyways..I wanted to say..it's been a year and almost a half that jen and I have been together. I love your daughter so much and I'm so thankful that you've accepted me into your family like this. Especially since I know what jen has been through. It means a lot that you two let me into this life that I know has been hard for her. Especially helping raise Emme and Emilia with Jennifer..I'm so thankful that I have your trust.."
"You wanna marry her don't you" she interrupts. Well that came out of nowhere.
I didn't say anything. I got nervous again.
"I never thought I'd let a girl marry my daughter but.. you've proven to me that it's worth it. At first I didn't want Jennifer to remarry because of her past but after she brought you into our family... things changed and I've learned how much Jennifer has learned to be more confident..too confident that she was comfortable enough to be with a girl. Not to sound offensive. I obviously support all this but what I mean is, she would've made a dumb decision. She used to be so desperate before Emme until she met emmes dad. I never liked him but Jennifer wouldn't listen. I had a sense that he was horrible but she didn't listen. A mom is always right..and I think you're the one for her. I do trust you like you said. I love you and your family. We've all gotten to know each other so well already and.... I'd be more than happy to let you marry her"
"Are you serious?" I said in shock. Am I lucky or something? Everything is turning out just right so far.
"Yes!" She says and laughs. "Oh my- thank you thank you thank you!" I said and just hugged her immediately.
"If you need her ring size let me know"
"Oh yes. I'll need that. The girls wanna help me pick next week"
"They know?"
"Yeah I asked them if it was okay to them when we were at Disney"
"That was the right thing to do." She said happily. Then jen came down but passed by us going into the kitchen. She glanced at us but ignored. But on her way back up with a baby bottle in her hand, she stopped.
"Is everything okay?" She asks. "Yeah! Just looking at the necklace"
"Oh okay haha" she said and went back upstairs. I looked at Lupe and we both smiled.
"Are you guys going to my nieces wedding? It's one of Jennifer's cousin"
"A wedding? When?" I ask. I was literally thinking about going to a wedding with Jennifer earlier. "She hasn't told me yet but I'd go if she asks"
"Yes! It's so sudden though. It's next week but you should! It'll be beautiful. Make her catch the flowers too. Push her to it if you have to" she winks. "Haha okay. I'll try and do that."

Jens pov
This week, Leah took the girls out again to spend the day together. I wanted to stay home so I kept Emilia with me. She was on my bed playing with her toys while I was working on my laptop. But yea. I'm getting distracted by her cuteness. She really looks like Emme.
"Emiliaaa" I said and she looked at me and smiled and crawled over to me. "Hey youuu" i said with a cute voice and softly pinched her cheeks. Then I brought my face to hers and kept kissing her cheeks. She always laughs when I quickly repeatedly kiss her cheeks a certain way. She reacts the same way when Leah does it.
I cant wait for this baby to be as stylish as me. Just like Emme is. She's my mini me and so will Emilia. I don't want them to grow though. I love babies and I love Emme at her age. One day my baby Emme will be graduating eighth grade and then go to high school. Ugh. Why am I even thinking of that just enjoy it Jennifer while it lasts.
Two hours later, I received a FaceTime call from Leah so I answered from my laptop and put emilia in my lap so we're both in the screen.
"Hiiiii" i said
"Hey, do you want me to bring you some food home?"
"Duh.."
"Okay just making sure"
"Emilia and I miss you"
"I miss you two also"
"We needs buy her more outfits soon. She's getting big"
"I know! She's growing fast" she said.
"What time are you coming home?"
"In an hour"
"Where'd you guys even go? Where are you right now?"
"We just went to the mall. I'm at the mall"
"Oh okay. Well hurry home I'm bored"
"Alright. Love you guys"
"Love you" i said and hung up. Then Emilia grabs my phone that was by my laptop and literally throws it.
"Emilia!!!" I yell and get up quick and pick up my phone. "Great" I sigh. She cracked it. My phone is the first victim of these crazy baby activities. I gotta be careful.
"Great now my whole screen is cracked Emilia" I said and she just coos back. "You think this is okay? No." I said. She coos again. "Now I gotta buy a new phone. Did you know that?" I kept talking as if she could talk back. Maybe I really need Leah right now. I probably look crazy.

A few days later, me and Leah, Emilia, Emme and Sofia were all together spending our Sunday together before it's back to school and work. We shopped around for a while, I bought my new phone and then had lunch.
Leah was the one feeding Emilia as she was in her high stool at the side of the table. Emme was on my side of the booth and Sofia on Leahs side. I love Leahs 'mom' side, attitude. It's attractive to me for some reason. Maybe cause I just love her so much.
"Emilia come on!" She whines and moves the spoon over her mouth to clean up her face.
"How come she has squishy food?" Emme asks. "You had the same food when you were a baby too"
"Why?"
"Because no teeth silly! She can't chew so she needs soft food"
"Ohhh"
"Emilia!" Leah raises her voice. I laughed at her. Emilia is not making Leahs job any easier.
"Why doesn't she wanna eat this? She loves this"
"She keeps reaching for your strawberry mom."
"She can't even eat it" Leah said. I shook my head and took a picture of Leah feeding her. It's all so cute. At least Leahs been in this situation before since she has a daughter so I don't really have to teach her anything.
After lunch, Leah randomly brought up a thought about getting a tattoo now. But that reminds me that I need to get Emilia's name tattooed on me. Maybe I'll get one today too.
We ended up going to to tattoo shop. I got Emilia's name on my other wrist in cursive just like emmes tattoo.
"Where are you putting Sofia's name?" I ask Leah. "I kinda wanna our all three of their names" "What?? Really??"
"Yeah..I just don't know where...I wanna put your name too. I don't even like tattoos but I feel like I need to do this."
"I mean you don't have to Leah. Don't force yourself"
"But I want to"
"Oh gosh.. well..if you want to then do it"
she leaned closer to me and whispered. "I want your name tattooed under my boob" she giggled. "Do it!!" "Where should the girls names go though?? That's already a lot. Ugh I don't know"
After a few minutes of Leah figuring out she decided not to get tattoos and just leave it to me. Leah only has my name under her boob but she didn't get the girls name on her. That's fine though. I decided to just get Emilia's name on me for now. For now. I'll figure Sofia and Leahs name out another day. I just don't want too many tattoos all over me.
"Your mom mentioned that your cousin is having a wedding?" Leah asks me and Emme gasps. I look at Emme confusingly. But Emme kept quiet. I don't know why she just did that. She probably saw something as we were walking around the mall again.
"Oh right. I forgot about it so I figured we should just not go"
"Why? It's your cousins! When is it?"
"Next week"
"Let's go then! I want to go to a wedding with you"
"You've been to one with me before haven't you?"
"That was one and we were barely dating"
"True. But okay. It's next week on Saturday"
"Okay" Leah smiles. Well I guess I could dress pretty. I haven't in a while. Like tight dresses. Usually the parties we've been going to, i were jeans but because I was pregnant.
