It was an hour after the incident at the King and Queen's Ball that Giselle and Robert were brought safely down from the roof of the tower. Giselle was wet and freezing and Robert was signing their release papers. Once that was done, he walked over to his new girlfriend. "You ok, Giselle? You look shaken up."
"I'm wet and freezing. I just want to get out of here and go home." She replied in one shaky breath.
Robert wrapped her in his arms and picked her up bridal style. "Just my thoughts." He said and hailed a taxi.
They went home and up to the apartment. The babysitter was paid and she left. Giselle went to sit down, but Robert grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. She looked at him in confusion. "What?"
"We need to get dried off and changed. Then we need to tell Morgan that you're staying and we go to bed. Besides, once we're dried off, you'll warm up. If not, you can take a shower to warm up first."
"Ok." She agreed.
He kissed her and went to his room to change. She went to the bathroom and dried off. She was instantly warmer than before and quickly put on a silk nightgown and robe. She walked out to the living room and sat on the couch to wait for Robert. He walked out in night pants and no shirt. Giselle stared in aw. "What?" He chuckled when he saw her staring.
Giselle looked at his face and blushed. "You're not wearing a shirt."
Robert laughed then pulled her up and against him. She blushed some more at the contact. "It's ok. You're allowed to look. You're allowed to touch. It is for you to do so." He said softly. She gave him a quizzical look. "You and I are together now as a couple. It's allowed. But only you are allowed to touch. You will be sharing my bed now and you will have places in drawrs and the closet for your clothes. I love you, Giselle. And after tonight, you made me realize that I was with Nancy for all the wrong reasons. You make me feel differently and in a way I never felt before. Not even with Morgan's mother. I love you for that and many other things. Now we are on the path of marriage and I promise it will be soon. You are mine alone now and forever."
Giselle was crying silently at his words. "You really mean that?"
"I do. I love you. And I'm never letting you go."
Giselle hugged him tight and cried more silent happy tears. "I love you too, Robert. I love you and Morgan so much. I love you and I can't wait to be your wife. Morgan I'd like to adopt as my own when that happens. She is like a daughter to me." She said then pulled away enough to look at him.
"I know. And that's one of the things I love about you." He replied then kissed her softly. "Come on. Lets go tell her the news." She nodded and followed him to Morgan's room. Robert shook her slightly. "Morgan Sweetheart. It's time to get up."
"Mmmm. What time is it?" The six year old grumbled.
"Time to get up." Giselle said.
The sound of Giselle's voice had the girl up in a heartbeat. "Giselle!" She said excitedly. "What are you still doing here?" She asked hugging the redhead.
"I'm staying."
"You are?!"
"Yes." Robert took over and Morgan looked at her father. "Something happened at the ball and I broke up with Nancy. I'm in love with Giselle." He continued.
"Really?!"
"Yes. It'll probably be on the news all day tomorrow, so you can see what happened then."
"And I love your father VERY much. He's my one true love." Giselle added.
Morgan hugged her again. "I'm so glad. I love you, Giselle."
Giselle and Robert smiled. "I love you too, Morgan." The woman replied and kissed the top of her head. "Get some more sleep. We'll see you in the morning."
"Ok. Will you tuck me in?"
"Sure." She replied as Morgan layed down.
Robert got up and pecked Giselle on the lips. "I'll see you in a minute in our room. I'm gonna leave you two to bond."
"Ok. Love you."
"Love you too." He said and left the room.
Morgan smiled at the exchange. "This is so exciting. You're gonna be my mom."
Giselle kissed her forehead. "In a little while. Your dad has to propose first."
"Does this mean I can call you Mom now?"
"If you wish. I'll see you in the morning."
"Ok. Nite, Mommy."
"Good nite, Morgan." She replied and left to meet Robert in their now shared room.
Robert smiled. "How'd it go?"
Giselle took off her robe and got in bed beside him. "She asked if she could call me Mom now."
"What'd you say?"
"I told her she could if that's what she wishes to call me. But I'm not gonna make her call me that if she's not comfortable."
He smiled again and pulled her to him kissing her temple. "You are so wonderful. I love you."
"I love you too, Robert." She replied and kissed him softly wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Get some sleep, My Love. It's been a long day."
She nodded and layed her head on his chest.
