Whole Lotta Love {Stacey}

Dom stood at the door waiting for someone to answer it when he heard Ebony start to cry and he put his hand up to his mouth hoping that it wasn’t his speaking through the letterbox that had done it. The door was soon open and he heard Stacey tell him to come in but then she had made her way to the nursery to obviously tend to Ebony. Dominic entered the house and quietly closed the door behind him not wanting to make any more noise than necessary seeing as she would be trying to get Ebony settled again. Dom just stood in the hallway not sure where to go and then he saw Stacey approach him with Ebony in her arms and apologising. Dom just shook his head giving her a bright smile, “It’s alright Stace sugar, and I heard her cry before you even opened the door.” He then looked at Ebony and gave her a bright smile, “Hey princess, Uncle Dom’s got something for you so I hope you like it.” He then bent down and gave Ebony a kiss on the forehead and soon reached up and with one arm around Stacey slightly he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Stacey then told him to follow her into the living room which he did. Once Stacey was sitting down and got Ebony comfortable Dom sat down next to her keeping the gift bags in his one hand and soon enough Stacey had turned to him and spoke saying that Ebony had only had an hours sleep then added that it was just under that and spoke about putting her into the basinet while they spoke. “Sure sister, it’s kind of nice to know that she’s going to be in here with us anyway, you know I love spending time with the both of you.” That was true, in fact being around Ebony was making Dom all broody again and he did wonder about the idea that his mom had approached him with a few months ago, but now that he had met Sam, it was like he had to put it to the back of his mind because somehow he though bringing up the subject of baby talk with a new lover two days after meeting them was not the right thing to do.

Dominic watched as Stacey moved the basinet over and placed Ebony into it and she began to whimper slightly and Dom then wondered if he had maybe picked a bad day to come round but then shrugged it off mentally knowing that with a baby in the house that any day was likely to be a bad day for visitors. He then watched as Stacey sat back down and was soon on her feet again, Dom was about to say was she playing musical chairs only he couldn’t hear any music when she asked if she could get him something to drink. He reached for her hands and motioned for her to sit back down again and rolled his eyes slightly smiling at her, “Stace sugar, stop fretting, sit down and relax for a while, you don’t have to go rushing off getting something for me, take advantage of any rest you can, I can get us a drink if you want one.” He wasn’t trying to be bossy or anything but he knew that Stacey wouldn’t be getting as much rest as she should what with having a baby in the house and looking after them, looking after yourself, doing the housework, he figured that Stacey felt as if she never got a moment to herself.

“I’ve brought a couple of gifts with me actually, one just for you and one I thought Ebony might like.” He said and grinned at Stacey as he handed over the first gift bag which was fairly small, “This one’s for you, I couldn’t resist buying it when I saw it, so I hope you like it and I sure hope David doesn’t mind that I bought you something like this.” He said but figured that David wouldn’t mind at all, as he seemed like such an easy going guy. The gift bag contained the following:-



It was a white gold heart pendant with the word mom in gold on an eighteen carat gold chain, he had wanted to get one that said ‘No. 1 Mom’ but none of them had stood out for him like that one had. He then wondered if he should give her the other gift for Ebony as it might be the kind of thing to help her settle if Stacey turned it on, but since Ebony seemed to be fairly settled for now and he wanted her reaction to the pendant he decided to hold off on giving her the gift for Ebony until she had opened the pendant.

Dominic gave Stacey a warm smile when she said okay after he had said he heard Ebony cry before she had even opened the door. Dom wasn’t daft, he knew that with Stacey having a baby to look after that her attention couldn’t be solely on him but then Dom wasn’t much of an attention seeker anyway. Even when he had broken down with the filming of the video he hadn’t done it in a bid for Stacey to put her attention on him, it had simply just been down to the emotion of the video. Thankfully with Stacey being able to come on the other two days he was filming the video he had been able to get through it with no more catastrophic episodes, but he had certainly needed her there for support as every single time he felt it get to him he would just glance at Stacey and she would smile and everything would be alright and he could continue. He knew if she hadn’t been there he would have been a mess.

Dom had then began to talk to Ebony while she was in Stacey’s arms and it was nice to hear that she seemed to calm down as he did that, but Dom then remembered that Stacey said she played his music a lot around Ebony which she seemingly liked and that always made Dom feel good. He had then given Ebony a kiss on the forehead and then kissed Stacey on the cheek and she gave him a small smile and then told him to follow her into the lounge room. Dom gave her a warm smile and followed her. Once Ebony was in the basinet Stacey had sat down next to Dom and he was about to talk to her and give her the gifts when she stood back up again asking if he wanted a drink. This had made Dom take her hands in his and basically guided her back into a sitting position and told her to stop fretting and he would get them a drink if she wanted one. He heard Stacey let out a breath and then shrug a little and then she spoke saying she didn't want a drink and adding that she was sorry and that because she felt he was a guest she should get him a drink or something.

Dom leant into her and playfully nudged her and winked, “But I’m not a guest Stace sugar, I’m family and family help each other out, so no, you don’t have to go rushing off after me, I’m not the Queen of Sheba no matter how much I might act like a Queen at times.” He said and pouted his lips and then curled his top lip before breaking into a fit of quiet giggles. When he composed himself he gave her a warm smile, “I’m alright just now but if you want a drink in a while I’ll get it alright sister?” He said and put his arm around her to pull her to him in a brotherly style hug before removing it again and lifting up the smaller of the two gift bags and handed it to Stacey saying that he couldn’t resist it when he saw it and hoped she would like it. He could see that she was going to protest when she said his name, but he just lifted up his hand and wagged his finger at her, “Nuh uh, no you don’t Stace sugar, I’m your best friend in the whole wide world and your ‘brother’ I am entitled to treat you if I want and you can’t do anything about it. Besides I had to thank you for being there for me through the filming of the video.” He said and then smiled warmly at her as he then watched her open the gift bag.

When he heard Stacey gasp a little placing her hand over her mouth he knew that she liked it which made him feel good and even brought his emotions out a little but he managed to keep the tears from flowing. He then watched as she moved her hand away and touched the pendant and then she looked at him and he saw that tear from her eye, which made his own fall and he had been doing so well at keeping them from falling. Stacey then thanked him saying it was beautiful and then thanked him again. She then put her arms around him and hugged him and Dom automatically hugged her back. “I’m glad you like it Stace sugar and you’re welcome.” Stacey then moved out of the hug and he watched her look at it again and then made a comment saying she reckoned David wouldn’t mind at all and then asked him to put it on her now. “I’m glad you don’t think he’d mind and sure I can sister.” He replied as he took the pendant from Stacey and gently put it around her neck and then hooked the clasp together.

Stacey then looked down at it and thanked him again. Dom just kept grinning at her, “It’s gorgeous on you Stace but then I knew it would be.” Stacey then leant back onto the sofa and Dom could see that she was starting to relax which was making him feel better. Stacey then turned to him and asked him about his new lover and did he want to spill about him and then she giggled a little and then smiled at him. Dom giggled back, “Sure I can sister, but hold a second, I want you to open this and see what you think as obviously Ebony’s still a bit too young to speak up for herself.” He giggled again as he then handed her over the other bigger gift bag which contained the following:-



It was a musical lullaby bear, something that you could sit in the cot or on a table next to the cot and press a button for it to play lullaby music in order to help the child sleep. “Apart from thinking it looked cute, I thought it might come in handy for when she might go through any sleeping difficulties.” Once Stacey had opened the gift and commented on it Dominic leant back on the sofa and sighed gently as he bit down on his bottom lip and then turned to face Stacey with a bright smile on his face ready to burst. “So, my new lover...” He trailed off and giggled a little as it did sound strange calling him that when they had only really just got into a relationship but that’s what he was, “...well his name is Samuel Carhill and he’s the sexiest, kindest, most caring and sensitive, loving man I’ve ever met. Oh and he’s a fabulous kisser sugar.” Dom said and grinned, well there was more to it than just that and how it had all evolved between them, but for now he hoped that would satisfy her, he would have to show her the wallpaper of Sam on his phone later.

When Dom had said that he wasn’t a guest and that he was family he saw Stacey smile a little and then look down and he wondered what was going through her head and then she looked back at him and smiled more which he returned warmly. Stacey then rolled her eyes and said she wasn’t going to say anything and then giggled a little which made Dom shake his head and giggle back. Then he had said if she wanted a drink later he would get it, and she replied saying okay and that she would let him know. He replied saying, “You’re welcome sister.” Then he had pulled her into a hug and he heard her sigh a little so he rubbed her arm up and down with his hand giving her some brotherly affection. Then he had pulled away from the hug to hand her the first of the two gift bags which contained the pendant.

She had made to protest which Dom had been quick to tell her not to do and then added that he had bought it as a way of thanking her for her support when he was filming that video and he saw her shake her head. Then she replied saying that she would have been there regardless and that she was glad to be there for him. Dom shrugged slightly as he smiled brightly, “I know that Stace sugar, but I still wanted to do this. I’m not going to constantly inundate you with gifts, but as your best friend and one who can afford to splash out on things, it’s nice for me to treat my best friend every now and then so please don’t take that away from me Stace.” Dom said as he gave her his best puppy dog eyes and pouted his lips knowing it would either win her over or get him a playful slap on the arm with her reluctantly agreeing. Either way it would be a win for Dom which he loved.

After Dom had put the pendant on for her at her request she had looked at it and thanked him again and Dom had then said it looked gorgeous on her but he knew it would have which got a smile from Stacey and he smiled back and winked and then she had asked him to tell her all about his new lover. Dom had replied saying he would tell her but wanted her to open something else which he had bought for Ebony. He saw the raised eyebrows and wondered if she was going to protest again, but she didn’t which he was thankful for. Because he could hold back on spoiling Stacey a lot but when it came to his gorgeous little ‘niece’ there was no way he could hold back on spoiling her. He then watched as she pulled the bear out of the gift bag and gasped a little then exclaimed that it was gorgeous. This made Dom smile at her warmly and then he had gone on to say what it did and Stacey nodded saying that it was thoughtful and thanked him again adding that she was sure Ebony would enjoy it. “I’m pleased to hear that Stace sugar, glad you like it and again, you’re welcome.”

Dominic then began to talk about Sam and as he called him his new lover he had trailed off and giggled a little, he saw Stacey smile at him and then he soon told Stacey exactly what he thought about him and even added that he was a fabulous kisser which he was. For only having known Sam for two days Dominic was pretty sure he was in love with Samuel Carhill. Even though he had thought he was in love with Simon it had taken a lot longer to feel that way, with Sam it was pretty much instantaneous and everything was different and much more intensified and he definitely had feelings for Sam he had never felt for Simon. He saw Stacey cover her mouth as she laughed and then giggled a little after he had said he was a fabulous kisser which made Dom giggle too. Stacey then said that it sounded like he had met his perfect mate. Dom sighed thinking about this for a few seconds and then turned to Stacey with a bright smile on his face, “Oh Stace sugar, I think I have yeah, but then I thought that about...” He trailed off and bit down on his bottom lip he didn’t really want to go there and Sam was different, he felt a tear in his eye and he knew he had to stop dwelling on the past.

“Sorry sugar, I have to stop thinking about him, Sam’s different, I know he is.” Dominic then went into his pocket and pulled out his iPhone and touched the screen to light it up and then handed it over to Stacey. “This is what he looks like, isn’t he a dream?” He asked and giggled a little as he waited to see what Stacey would say about the picture of Sam on his phone as his phone wallpaper.

When Dom had asked Stacey not to take away being able to treat her now and then he had given her his puppy dog eyes and pouted lips knowing that it usually worked on just about everyone, and he couldn’t help but smile at Stacey and giggle on the inside when she said that she wouldn’t do that to him because she knew what it meant to him. “Thanks Stace sugar and you’re right it does mean a lot to me to be able to treat you every now and then but then that’s because you mean the world to me.” Dom replied giving her a playful nudge and smiling at her warmly.

When Stacey commented on where she was going to put the bear Dom smiled at her, “That sounds like a good place for it, and I guess the idea is for the child to hear the music as it’s all about helping them to sleep. I have no doubt that when she’s older she’ll climb up the cot to see it and might even pull it down into the cot with her.” Dom said and giggled a little thinking how funny and cute that might look to walk in on Ebony doing that with the bear. Dom then watched as Stacey placed the bear back into the gift bag and put it down on the floor and felt really happy that it had gone down so well with Stacey.

When Dom had trailed off on the whole Sam being the perfect mate because he had thought that about Simon but didn’t say the name instead trailing off and biting his bottom lip, he had soon apologised saying he had to stop thinking about him Stacey had hugged into him and he sighed gently as she did so. Dom always loved Stacey’s hugs. Stacey then spoke saying that from what he had told her that Sam was different and might even be good for him. Dom gave Stacey a bright smile then, “Yeah, I know he’s different Stace and now that I have him, I should forget about the past and just move on with my life and I think he is good for me.” Dom replied and then looked up at the ceiling for a few seconds and closed his eyes just thinking about Sam and how they had met that day and how the day had then turned out and then he sighed gently again feeling sheer contentment and then opened his eyes and turned to Stacey with a warm smile on his face and then said, “Yeah, I think he’s definitely good for me.”

Dom had then brought out his phone to show Stacey the photo he had of Sam as his wallpaper and said wasn’t he a dream. Dom then watched as Stacey looked up at him after looking at Sam’s picture and then spoke saying she couldn’t deny he looked gorgeous and added that it looked like he got a good catch and called him Mr. Salvatore. This made Dominic giggle again, “Well, I like to think so Stace sugar.” Then Stacey took the phone off of him saying she bet that there were more pictures of Sam in his phone and he opened his eyes wide and put his hand up to his mouth and giggled some more. “Stace, you don’t take Dom’s phone from him, there could be things in there I don’t want you to see like a naked photo of Sam for instance or a naked one of me which I sent to Sam.” He said raising his eyebrow in his sexy way and biting on his lip slightly but he was teasing her terribly and began to giggle some more.

Soon enough after messing with his phone she handed him it back and then asked what Mr. Dreamy did for a living. Dom giggled again, loving what she had called him. “I must take a mental note of that, I have actually been calling him my Prince, but Mr. Dreamy does fit as well.” He grinned and then went back to the question Stacey had asked him about Sam. “He’s a high school teacher which is quite good if you ask me, well I think it’s good as it means to me that he’s good with children, so maybe I won’t have to raise a baby myself if you know what I mean?” Dom said and sighed gently with contentment again as he thought about the possibility of him and Sam being parents further down the line. “And he’s like me, he has an ability, Superhuman Intelligence, kind of funny given that one of mine is Enhanced Memory, sort of similar but different. Oh Stace he’s just perfect, you were right, you said I’d meet someone and I did, but you know something sugar? I think it’s you, I think you’re my lucky charm, I mean I didn’t meet the man of my dreams until you came back into my life again. I’m going to start calling you my Lucky Charm I think.” Dom said and giggled a little, but really he couldn’t stop seeing Stacey as his lucky charm.

When Dom had commented more about the lullaby bear he had bought for Ebony he saw Stacey raise her eyebrows at what he had said even though he had been playing around but it would seem his words had an effect on her and then she commented saying she hoped that it wouldn’t happen yet and it was a bit scary to think about it. Dom put his hand up to his mouth then, “God Stace I’m sorry, I was just playing around I didn’t mean to get you worried or anything, I’m really sorry.” Dom said apologising frantically and then biting down on his bottom lip. He had thought it would be kind of cute to catch her doing that, but the truth of the matter was, the bear was heavy due to its musical mechanism, and if it toppled the wrong way Ebony might bring it down on top of herself he hadn’t thought about that. He gave Stacey a weak smile then.

When Dom had said that now he had Sam in his life he should forget the past he saw Stacey smile and then nod her head saying that she really agreed with him and went on to talk about what happened before she had met David. Dom knew that David was a really good guy and he was happy that Stacey had landed on her feet with him and he knew that Stacey would be just as happy for Dom to have found someone special in his life. When Stacey spoke about anyone from her past catching up to her she didn’t think it would change the way she felt about people in her life now Dom gave her a warm smile.

“Well one thing is for sure Stace sugar, you have people surrounding you now who love and care for you a lot, and you have someone who can take on anything, trust me if they were to catch up to you and get nasty, they wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. I might be quite feminine in my ways but there’s one thing I won’t stand for and that’s anybody who tries to hurt my family.” Yes so Stacey was a friend, but over and above that she was his family, his personal choice of family and it would just be the same if anybody tried to hurt Ebony in the future and naturally if anybody tried to hurt Sam he had a feeling he would tear them to shreds, possibly literally even though for the most part Dom wouldn’t hurt a fly. But hurt his family and friends and you’ll see a very different man and with the ability of being superhuman he could quite literally tear someone apart from limb to limb given the choice.

When Dom had said he liked to think Sam was a good catch he saw Stacey smile at him which made him smile back. Stacey had then snatched his phone from him saying that she bet there were other photos in it of him. Dom had pretended to be shocked and told her that she didn’t take Dom’s phone from him and how there may have been a naked photo of Sam in there or one of him which he had sent to Sam. He was teasing her terribly of course not that it mattered as Stacey replied saying that it was nothing she hadn’t seen before. This made Dominic giggle out, not too loud as Ebony was asleep, but he remembered one of those days that had happened.

It was when Stacey had come round to his house to visit, when he was still with his parents and he hadn’t been aware that she was already in his bedroom waiting for him and he had just come out of the shower. Dom being Dom was usually pretty free about walking about in the nude finding it comfortable to do so and had walked into his bedroom to see Stacey sitting there and immediately jumped back out of the way behind the door and dashed back into the bathroom to wrap a towel around himself. He had then walked back into the room and was giggling terribly and remembered asking her if she’d seen much. Not that it had bothered him, which was the thing with being gay; a female seeing him naked didn’t bother him and seeing a female nude had absolutely no effect on him whatsoever.

“Do you remember that day that you came to visit me at my parents place and I had no idea you were in my room and I was just about to walk in from coming out of the shower absolutely starkers? That was hilarious, no wonder you said it was nothing you hadn’t seen before.” Dominic let out a bit of a giggle then. That was the good thing about his and Stacey’s close friendship, there wasn’t much either of them hadn't been through or seen.

Stacey had then handed his phone back to him after she had failed to find anymore pictures which made Dom grin at her, “When I have more photos of Sam sister, naked or not, I’ll let you see, just don’t tell him, never know if he’s shy about showing himself off, unlike me.” Dominic then giggled some more and Stacey asked what Sam did for a living referring to him as ‘Mr. Dreamy’. He had said he would take a mental note of what she called him and Stacey then said that Sam should be his ‘Dreamy Prince’ then. Dom thought about that for a second and smiled warmly, “That’s actually not a bad idea; I am so going to call him that at one point out of the blue and see what he does.” Dominic giggled some more.

Dominic then told Stacey about Sam’s job adding that it would be quite good meaning that he might not have to raise a child by himself, although he would have done it if required, he wanted a child so much. Stacey said that she could see why he would think Sam might be good to have a child with adding that at any age a child can be a challenge. When Stacey said that Ebony wasn’t sleeping for long periods of time she added that she was already trying to stay up late and then shook her head and giggled a little. “Well I guess time will tell with Sam, I’d never push the issue on him that’s for sure, and Stace, pity help you if that’s Ebony starting to rebel already.” He giggled a little again as he shook his head slightly and looked over at Ebony and got broody all over again. Stacey then said that it would be great if they got to that point in their relationship. Dom smiled warmly at her and nodded his head, “I agree Stace.”

Dom then spoke more about Sam and he smiled as Stacey said it was great that he had a power like him and then he had gone on about Sam more adding that he reckoned Stacey was his lucky charm as he met the man of his dreams after Stacey had come back into his life. Stacey responded to this by saying she wasn’t sure she was his lucky charm maybe more his fairy Godmother. Well this caused Dominic to laugh out loud like Stacey had done, “Sister, there’s only one fairy in this room right now and that’s me, no, you are most definitely my Lucky Charm Stace.” The laughing had caused Ebony to waken and cry and Stacey put her hands over her mouth and got up in a panic going to her and saying she was sorry as she tried to hush her down. Dom felt a bit guilty too as he had laughed out loud at what Stacey had said also.

Dom got up then went to Stacey, he couldn’t help it with the talk of babies and how he kept getting broody every time he looked at Ebony he couldn’t resist asking. He held his arms out, “May I Stace? I’d love to hold my Little Angel.” If Stacey agreed and handed her over, he was going to do the only thing he knew what to do to try and calm Ebony down and that was to sing to her, Stacey had said that she seemed to sleep to his voice, so why not give it a try.

When Dom had apologised to Stacey about the lullaby bear and Ebony he saw Stacey shake her head and then felt her hand on his arm telling him that it was okay and that she just didn’t want to think about her growing up yet. Dom could understand that to a degree and he nodded his head and gave her a weak smile, “I guess I can understand that, hopefully you won’t have to worry about it for a while yet.” He did see Stacey’s reassuring smile but it wasn’t doing much to make him feel better, he had obviously panicked Stacey a little, not a good thing to do to a new mother. However he didn’t want her to think that he was still worried about what he had said so he gave her a slightly warmer smile, one he hoped was covering up for how he was really feeling at that moment about what he had said.

When Dom had said that he wouldn’t stand for anyone hurting his family including Stacey, David and Ebony, as in Dom’s eyes they were his family also Stacey gave him a warm smile which made him smile back at her. Stacey then spoke thanking him and adding that David would be beside him if that happened. Dom nodded his head, “I imagine so, and I can tell that he’s just as protective of you and Ebony as I am.” With Dom having this power of being superhuman he had a slight advantage over David but he could tell from being around David with Stacey that David wouldn’t be one for just sitting back and not doing anything. “So I guess you never have to fear of anybody bad returning to your life sister.”

After Stacey had made the comment about it being nothing she hadn’t seen before Dom had reminded her of the day that he had walked into his bedroom starkers and had to quickly duck out to get a towel wrapped around him he soon saw Stacey nod and smirk at the memory he had brought up. They were so close back then that Dom was pretty sure if he hadn’t been gay that they may well have been a couple and probably still together now. However he was gay and they had been best friends instead, something Dom had never and will never regret. Stacey commented saying it was a good day and Dom couldn’t help but giggle again, “It was a good day despite the fact that you saw me in all my glory, just as well I didn’t really have much of a problem with it.” Stacey then added that she was sure that his was the first naked body she had seen and that she guessed it took them both by surprise. Dom giggled some more, “It did take me by surprise, but it’s like we’ve pretty much been through everything together, don’t reckon there’s much either of us could do to embarrass the other to be honest.” That’s why it was so great being Stacey’s friend.

Dom then saw Stacey sit up a bit and she spoke saying that they were only half even bringing up the time that she had lost her bikini top and he had caught an eyeful of her breasts and nothing else. Not that he would have been bothered if he had caught anything else, maybe Stacey would have, but then again she knew about his sexuality the day he had officially announced it, as Stacey was one of the first people he had told, even before he had told his parents. “Yes, well despite being gay that was a disappointment sugar, because I couldn’t turn round and say well tit for tat, pardon the expression, because you caught me in the full nude, you’ve yet to return that favour to me sister.” Dom said and giggled a little and then playfully nudged her. Stacey then said with her finger to her mouth that it wouldn’t make much difference when she breastfeeds Ebony. “No Stace sugar, you can breastfeed Ebony in front of me anytime you like, not as if it’s nothing I haven’t seen before.” He then went into a fit of quiet giggles finding it funny using Stacey’s line back on her.

When Stacey made the comment about other people getting an eyeful Dom gave her a weak smile, “Yes, well and if I could have come and covered you up with my hands to save you the embarrassment I would have, but had this feeling that we would have got even more looks.” Dom giggled again although he had to admit that despite not being attracted to the female body he knew when a female had a good one and Stacey most definitely had a good body, everything was in proportionally good order. “Although I do have to say Stace sugar, you always did have a good body and you still do.” He gave her a bright smile then, it had been good reliving some memories of their past together, some of those would live with them forever he reckoned. Stacey was most definitely his best friend forever.

Stacey had then handed Dom back his phone and he had told her that if he got more photos of Sam naked or not he would show her. Stacey replied to this saying it sounded good to her as she liked to look at sexy naked men. Dom raised his eyebrows a little and couldn’t help but ask her, “So would you say that I am sexy Stace? Forget the fact I’m gay and your best friend.” He winked at her and then giggled some more, well he had to have some fun out of the fact she had seen him in all his glory a few years back. When Dom had said that he would call Sam his Dreamy Prince one day just to see how he would react Stacey replied saying that he would have to tell her how it goes with Sam. Dom grinned at her, “Oh don’t worry Stace, I am sure I will let you know even if I have to text you what he thinks.” Dom giggled again and this was what he loved the best, having someone like Stacey and his family where he could be himself and get away from the limelight, because every star needed their personal life as well. He just wondered how much of a personal life he would begin to want once he and Sam were more established as a couple.

After Dom had said to Stacey pity help her if Ebony was starting to rebel already she replied saying that she must have more of her genes than she gave her credit for. Dom just eyed Stacey off and shook his head slightly smiling at her warmly, “Stace sugar, having more of your genes is not that bad a thing, you’re awesome girl and don’t you forget it.” He playfully nudged into her again smiling at her warmly. “And don’t even go there about your past and blah, blah, we can all have our bad times but it’s the way we come through them that counts and you’ve done brilliantly I mean look at you, gorgeous fiancé and a beautiful little girl and soon to be married, you’ve done awesome Stace.” He reached over and gave her a kiss on the cheek then.

When Stacey had made the comment about her being Dom’s fairy Godmother and he had reacted to that saying that there was only one fairy in the room the two of them had laughed out quite loud which had woken up Ebony. Stacey had got up to her in a bit of a panic and apologising to her trying to calm her down. Dom felt terribly guilty as well as he had been doing so well not to laugh too loud, but sometimes when he and Stacey got together and started messing around it was difficult not to laugh out loud. As Stacey approached where he was sitting he had stood up and held his arms out asking Stacey if he could hold his Little Angel. He saw her give him a weak smile and said whatever helped, “Stace sugar, don’t blame yourself, she will eventually get used to noise around her and hopefully start to sleep through it, and you’re not solely to blame for that, I laughed a bit too loud as well.”

Once Ebony was in his arms he looked down at her with a soft smile on his face feeling very broody and that sudden rush of love for his ‘niece’ all over again, “Hey, hey my Little Angel what’s all the fuss. Your mommy and I just got a bit carried away with laughing we didn’t mean to scare you.” He began to gently rock her up and down slightly and she was still crying a lot and then he gave her a smile, “I know what might work.” He then began to sing one of the songs he had written for her, the one called ‘I’ll Stand By You’ and as he sang it quietly he began to walk up and down the lounge room slightly and rocking with her back and forth and he could see that she was starting to calm down a little. So he just continued to sing the song softly to her until she would hopefully maybe settle back down again.
