Marco's POV

I was a nervous wreck.

"Oh please, let her say yes."

Noeli was speechless and crying. Kam came over and hugged her. "Um, Noeli, Marco's knee is probably hurting now. He's waiting for your answer."

It was hurting, but I did not care. I will wait however long it takes Noeli to say yes.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I just had a moment there. Never in a million years did I ever think I would meet the only guy I have ever had a crush on. When we met in the Virgin Islands, my stomach was in knots. Sometimes even now, I get those same knots. My dreams of being with my crush came true. Thank you for choosing me to be your girlfriend. So, Marco Antonio Fiore, yes, I will marry you. And thank you for choosing me to be your wife."

I placed the ring on her finger. Then stood up and kissed her with so much passion. I didn't care. I have what I always wanted in a woman. Día and Rocco said, "Ewwww."

Kam started crying, "Congratulations, Noeli and Marco! This day is even more special. I am so happy for you both. Your wedding and me pregnant - it is exciting!"

Cris came over to grab Kam and hold her. "Congratulations, Marco and Noeli. Come, love, sit and eat your food."

Noeli and I looked at each other. "We are definitely waiting until after Kam gives birth to Bella and Kekoa."

Everybody chuckled except Kam. She gave Cris some dirty looks, and he stopped laughing quickly. "I see nothing funny at all. I can't help that I am moody. Good luck trying to sleep tonight."

Kam's dad chimed, "This child is very moody. So Cris, good luck with Kam's mood swings. She is just like her mother."

Noeli and I sat down to eat.

Kam's POV

"Okay. Okay, you're right. It is best to wait. I don't want to ruin your moment."

Dia and Rocco were having so much fun. So, I elbowed Cris. "Look at our kids. It is going to be hard for them when it is time to go back to California."

Cris' POV

I glanced over to see them with the kids. This is the happiest they have been. My shy kids have come out of their shells. Alicia would be proud of them. Kamea and I were truly meant to be together. Because of her, they have changed so much.

"Maybe they don't have to go back. How do you like Florida, Kamea?"

"I love it. I could definitely live here."

"Would you really like to live here?"

"You would do that? But what about the club and winery?"

"I have thought of that. I will hire someone capable of running the winery. And, as for the club, my right-hand man is more than capable of running it. To be honest, I have wanted to move over to the East Coast. And I could open up another club location in Florida."

"Okay. But what about both houses?"

"The first house we can use as a rental property. And the other one for when we visit California. Who am I to break up my kids' happiness? We have plenty of room here for when everyone visits. We are about to have four kids, sweetheart. I don't want a nanny or babysitter taking care of my kids. I want to watch them grow up. My family's happiness is more important than the club and winery."

"Oh gosh, Cris. I don't know what to say. Thank you for everything. And I love you so much."

Noeli and Marco announced, "Cris and Kam, it is time to open the gifts. Cris, you will open Kekoa's. Kam, you will open Bella's. We had to leave the gifts inside. Well, you will see why."

"Give me your hand, sweetheart." We walked inside the house to the living room.

The living room was packed with many gifts. "Oh my goodness, all of this is for us?" Kamea said while she started crying.

"Día and Rocco have some gifts too." We walked over to the chairs that were set up.

"My queen, here is where you sit."

"You are such a charmer."

And, then, I took my seat. "Día and Rocco, there are some presents for you too."

I asked Marco to buy some for them. I didn't want them to feel left out. Día sat on Kamea's lap. And Rocco sat on the floor near me.

Día opened one for her first. "Look, mommy, it is a Princess Tiana doll."

"I see, princess. And she is just as pretty as you." Día kissed Kamea's cheek.

Rocco opened one for too. "Daddy, it's a ball."

Marco added, "Look behind you, Rocco. There is a basketball hoop too." He looked up at me. "Daddy, can I go play with the ball?"

"I got it, Cris. Come on, Rocco."

Marco grabbed the miniature net, and Rocco carried the ball, and they went outside to play.

"Princess, look at the big one over there with your name on it." Kamea pointed to the one with the big, pink bow. Dia opened it and had the biggest smile on her face.

"Mommy! Daddy! It's a car!"

Marco and Noeli got the kids mini replicas of a Mercedes for Rocco and an Escalade for Dia, just like her mommy.

"Thank you, daddy!" She came over and hugged me. "Uncle Marco and Aunt Noeli got them for you and your brother."

Día then ran over to Noeli. "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, sweetie. Want to go for a ride?" Noeli helped Día take the replica outside so she could ride in it.

"Gosh, I am going to need help opening these gifts."

"I'll help you, Kam." Marissa came over and helped open the gifts. Kamea and I took turns opening gifts.

My grandmother made the baby booties for Isabella. And she bought the baby clothes as well.

This one was from Kalani.

We opened gifts for about an hour or more. Of course, Kamea cried every time we each opened a gift.

"We have more surprises for you, Kamea. If you are not too tired, take a walk upstairs, and Cris will lead you," Mr. Toscano mentioned.

"There's more?!"

I grabbed her hands, and we went upstairs. The first stop was Kekoa's room.

Kam's POV

"It's beautiful! I love it!"

"Marco and I will go back to California to have the baby clothes shipped here," Cris then told me.

Next, we went to my baby girl's room.

"You will have to hold me up because I am about to faint from the beautifully decorated rooms." Cris rushed over and held me up.

"Take a look in the closet,"  Cocoa says.

There was a closet full of diapers, which we would need for both babies.

"I love the twins' rooms very much. Thank you all so much for this shower. It means a lot to me. Gosh, I need to sit down."

"Sweetheart, we still have to cut both cakes."

"Cake time it is." I was so going to smash the cake in his face like I did at our reception. We cut the cake for my baby boy first. Cris got behind me, and we cut a slice together. We placed it on one of the plates on the table. We each took a fork to feed each other cake. This time, Cris got me right in my face.

"Mommy got cake on her face!" My kids said while laughing.

"Totally deserved that." Cris started eating the cake off my face.

"Before you both start making out, we have one more cake to cut," my father said.

"Right, dad."

We walked over to the other table to cut my baby girl's cake. Once again, Cris got behind me, and we cut a slice together. This time, we fed each other the cake. It was my favorite kind - chocolate cake with cream cheese icing. We went back to sitting in the living room.

"Thank you, Cocoa, for the cakes. They are both delicious."

"You're welcome, Kamea."

"Thank you to every one of you for today. I will treasure it always. Cris and I have some additional news to tell everyone. Go ahead, handsome."

"Kamea and I have decided to move to Florida."

"What made you both decide that?" Cris' dad asked him.

"I had thought about it over the past month. And I have wanted to live on the East Coast to experience life on the other side of the country. Also, today, Kamea and I watched how happy Día and Rocco were playing and laughing. They used to be really shy and didn't really make friends in California. I will do anything and everything to keep my family happy."

"Cris and Kam, you both will love living here. And we will help you get your kids situated with going to school."

"Thank you, Cam."

"Aww, Kam and Cris, we are going to miss you both. But, we understand." Marissa said. "We will definitely come to see you guys when the twins are born."

"I'm going to miss you too, Marissa and Andre."

"I have thought about moving too, baby girl. I'm thinking about going back to Hawaii. Like Marissa and Andre, I will be here in December for the birth of the twins."

Antonio said, "A change of scenery would be nice. We'll move down by the end of the year. We are not going to miss out on the kids growing up. We'll start looking for houses soon."

"Welcome to Florida. If you ever need a babysitter, just let me know."

I walked over to Daddy Dom and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you."

Noeli and Marco came over. "I really am going to miss you, Kam. We have always been together. It is going to be hard without you."

"Well, it doesn't have to be. If you would like to, we can move to Florida as well."

"But what about your modeling? And I have one more year of medical school."

"Just like Cris said, his family's happiness comes first. Your happiness is more important to me. I can still model. So, after next year, we can move."

Noeli kissed Marco. "Thanks, love."

"So, I am guessing we should wait until after graduation for the wedding. Florida or California?"

"Graduation would probably be in June. July would be perfect. And Florida, so Kam and Cris won't have too far to travel with the babies. I don't want a big wedding. A small, intimate wedding is what I want."

"Then, small and intimate it will be."

"Hey, how about having your wedding here? The yard is plenty big enough for the ceremony and reception. Would it be okay to have it here, Cris?"

"Sweetheart, you don't have to ask. If you both would like to have it here, you are more than welcome to."

"Of course, I have to ask. It's not just my house. You are my husband, and we need to make these kinds of decisions together. And, thank you."

"Thank you, Kam and Cris. Look out, Florida! The Fiore crew is coming to town!"

******************************

Later that evening.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have huge news in the modeling world. It looks like Supermodel Marco Fiore is no longer a bachelor. We just received word that he proposed to his girlfriend today in Miami, Florida. He is in Florida for a baby shower for his brother, Cris, and his wife. Sorry ladies, Marco is off the market. Congratulations to Marco and his bride-to-be. Back to you, Chuck."

"Thanks for that report, Alyssa."

******************************

Chase's POV

I went to look for my bodyguard. He was in the kitchen.

"Mike, I need you to see when is the soonest time we can get a flight to Miami."

"Yes, boss. I am on it."

"Looks like Cris and my prize are in Florida. Cris, you can run, but you can't hide."
