Page 32 of Room Sixteen: Watching You

"Well, we really hope so, baby girl," I say, and we all three drop down on one knee.

Through her gasp, she cries even harder.

"We were hoping you'd marry us. Wear this ring as a symbol that you are ours, and raise a family in this home with us," Connor says.

"Yes! Yes, I will!” In her excitement, she jumps up and down.

Then Brooks slides the ring we designed for her on her finger.

It appears that Ella can hardly contain her excitement as she looks down at the ring on her finger. It's a beautiful diamond ring with three stones symbolizing the three of us, and the love and adoration shines like a beacon in her eyes.

"Wait, we can't legally be married," she says with a hint of sadness.

"No, but you will legally be married to Finn since some family trust issues on his side will require it. The ceremony will be what matters, and that we agree we are all married to each other," Connor comforts her.

My grandparents have some old family money with some pretty strict rules. Since my parents decided to follow them, having the marriage certificate will make things easier down the road.

Ella's face lights up again at Connor's words. "Then let's do it," she says. "Let's get married."

We all stand and wrap our arms around her in a tight embrace, kissing her cheeks and forehead.

"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you guys," Ella says, sniffling a bit from her tears.

"Neither can we," I reply, and we all share a smile.

The rest of the night is spent exploring our new home, showing Ella around, and discussing our plans for the future. We talk about the family we want to start, the adventures we want to have together, and the love that will always keep us together.

As we settle in for the night, curled up on the couch together, a sense of contentment washes over me. I am so grateful for my two partners and the woman we love deeply.

Together, we are unstoppable, and nothing could ever break the bond between us. As we drift off to sleep, I smile with gratitude and love at the thought of spending the rest of my life with them by my side.
