Chapter 30: One Year Later

One year after the events of Marni and Charlie's wedding.

Stella and Ben started dating that day in the tree house.

Stella currently works at the same company as Ben and they are already developing the first project together, with Stella's ideas and sketches.

After almost a year of dating, Ben asked Stella to live with him in a house he bought in his parents' neighborhood.

Everyone is helping with the move, carrying the boxes and furniture from the truck into the house.

Marni carries a seemingly heavy box, she suddenly drops the box on a table with a pained face, revealing a pregnant belly "Ow! the baby kicked!" Marni says, Ben comes running to help

"Marni, what are you doing? Are you crazy!?" Ben takes the box from her "I just want to help" Marni says "you'll help a lot by staying inside on the couch" Ben says helping her go inside.

"You know you can't make an effort, Honey!" Charlie approaches "you can let me take care of it Ben" Charlie says, Ben nods and takes the box inside.

Katy is in the garden playing with Stella's dog "good boy!" Katy says throwing the ball to the dog "can we have a dog mommy?" Katy asks Joanna who takes a deep breath.

"I want a dog" Katy says "if you behave maybe I'll think about it" Joanna says, Katy celebrates by running after the dog.

Will and Mark take a table inside, and Gail talks on the phone with Jenna.

"Okay, we'll be waiting for you!" Gail says excitedly, Stella and Richard leave the house going to the truck to get more things "Okay bye..." Gail hangs up the phone.

"Stella, dear, your mother said they arrived in about 35 minutes" Gail says "Okay thanks Gail" Stella smiles taking a box.

Gail sighs with pride of her family together, Mark walks past her and gives her a gentle kiss on the cheek and she chuckles excitedly.

......................................................................

Richard and Stella enter the kitchen with boxes when a car stops in front of the house.

"whose car is that?" Richard asks looks out the window at "Jade's car" Stella says distractedly, Richard frowns.

"Remember? Jade, my friend from college?" Stella says, Richard shakes his head and watches the woman who gets out of the car and greets Ben.

Richard slowly widens his eyes as several memories of that woman come to his mind "No way! Jade Jones!?" Richard says worried.

Stella looks at his expression and remembers something "Ooohhh yeah, you guys had a thing, right?" Stella chuckles, Richard is frozen looking at the window.

Stella shrugs "Well, good luck with that" Stella whispers patting her brother's back.

......................................................................

After all the boxes are in the house, everyone is setting up the dining table.

Ben says goodbye to the moving truck and enters the house, he sighs and takes off his cap, hanging it on a hanger in the entrance of the house.

Ben heads towards the kitchen, halfway through he stops and turns up the volume on the speaker playing in the kitchen.

Stella hums the song distractedly as she takes a mug cake out of her brand new microwave.

Ben admires every detail of her as he walks into the kitchen, he feels light and extremely comfortable with every step he takes towards her.

Stella takes a spoon and tries a piece of the cake, while Ben slowly hugs her from behind, with his hands on her waist and bringing his face closer to her neck.

"Oh Hello" Stella smirk "Hey" Ben whispers and starts kissing her neck gently, Stella takes a deep breath and throws her head back on his shoulder as he kisses her jaw.

Stella runs her hand over his face while he hugs her tighter, kissing behind her ear.

"Stop, damn, why do you have to be so hot?" Stella whispers turning to him, Ben smirk "why do you have to be so perfect from head to toe?" Ben whispers back.

Stella tilts her head "And besides everything you're cute, you drive me crazy, Olsen" Stella chuckles "You too Babe" Ben smiles.

Ben looks at the mug cake "It smells good" Ben smirks, Stella takes a piece on the spoon and blows on it to cool "Here" Stella says taking the spoon to his mouth.

Ben tries the cake, he sighs "Wow it tastes even better" Ben says, Stella smiles proudly "thank you!!" Stella brags.

Ben laughs, he sways to the beat of the song playing "Do you want to dance?" Ben extends his hand.

Stella looks at his hand then at his face "Yes!" Stella smiles and takes his hand, he pulls her into the middle of the kitchen.

The two begin to dance together.

Ben rests his forehead on hers as she moves her hands down his chest to his abs, he holds her hands and she laughs gently.

Still holding her hands, he spins her around until she meets his eyes again.

As the song passes they start to dance awkwardly, just like they did as children, the two can't stop smiling at each other.

Ben then pulls her by the waist and holds her tightly close to him, Stella takes a deep breath in surprise at his grip.

The tips of their noses touch, Stella moves her hands over his face, but someone says something in the living room and Stella looks away.

Ben holding her steady with one hand, uses the other to turn her face towards him again, gently.

"Hey, don't look at them, just look at me okay?" Ben says softly, Stella's eyes shine brightly looking at him "Okay" Stella chuckles.

"I love you" Ben smiles "I love you too" Stella says both approaching each other for a kiss.

Stella smiles in the middle of Ben's soft and warm kiss, hugging him tighter, as the kiss becomes more passionate, Stella gives a little jump Ben to hold her in his arms.

The two chuckles gently in the middle of the kiss and Ben with Stella in his arms begins to spin her around while the music plays.

When Ben stops Stella, he breaks the kiss and they both smile at each other.

Happy and excited about the life they were about to begin together, and proud of the love they had for each other that had survived a long journey of 13 years until that moment.

Finally, the biggest dream of that little girl and that little boy came true.

Proof that when it is destiny, when two hearts belong to each other from the beginning, no matter how difficult and troubled the journey may be, if it is meant to be, it will be.
