A Guy's Dreams Come True

Dedicated to @StemiFlu cause she is the one who has always supported me by getting excited by my writing, giving me postive and encouraging reviews for every one of my stories, and giving me story ideas when I have a mind freeze. Plus she asked me to do an continuation of my story "Our New Life" so here it is. Hope she enjoys it.

I still can't believe that one of my life's dreams for the past 4 years has finally come true; I feel like I am in a love daze, you know what I mean where everything looks hazy and time seems to stop or slow down so that you and the person who has your heart, in terms of me, Ms Demi Lovato, are like the only people in the world. If I am dreaming please don't wake me up.

Hmm now I don't feel so bad about writing "Mrs Demetria Devone Lovato-Knight", "Mr and Mrs Sterling and Demi Knight" and "Mrs Demi Knight" on every piece of paper, whether it be a script for the week's episode or a scrap piece of paper as I am watching TV with Spence, Sammy and our parents. Hey my heart was just writing down it's deepest desire and wish though according to my darling family and closest friends it wasn't a secret that I saw a future with Demi cause I have been in love with her from the first moment I laid eyes on Demi at the first "Sonny with a Chance" table reading, say us combining our lives into one life filled with joy, love, support through good and bad times and lots of laughter as we live as husband and wife.

Growing up I was not a typical guy, I mean yes I liked playing sports and hanging out with the guys being all rumble and tumble but unlike any other guy I never shied away from affection. I loved watching my parents' ovious love for each other cause even after 28 years of marriage they still flirted and acted all lovey dovey, sneaking loving glances and kisses when they thought their children weren't looking. I could just feel their obvious love, support, deep and close friendship towards each other, they are still each other's best friends and will always be there for each other through good and bad times cause they respected and honored their love for each other and their wedding vows.

With my girlfriends, and no I didn't have a lot of them, I tried to be the usual gentlemen. I never pressured my girlfriends to do anything beyond her comfort zone, there was no making out and getting hot and heavy with hands roving under clothes kind of thing. Nope cause I respect not only myself but my girlfriends and was raised that I should wait for my wedding night with my one true love and soulmate before expressing my love in the deepest sense God designed between husband and wife. What can i say I am a romantic at heart.

I even had a list of the things I wished my soulmate would have; she has to be sweet, caring, down to earth, friend-family orientated, wants to make a difference in the world by using their talents and gifts to help one person at a time, kind and be beautiful inside and outside. And once I met Demi and I looked into her big beautiful chocolate eyes and I knew I had found a woman who fulfilled every one of my dreams and fantasies of my soulmate.

I thought Demi was the most beautiful woman ever with her big chocolate doed eyes that drew you in and make you want to get to know the woman inside and out, heart and soul. Paired with those silky, auburn hair that just cascades over her shoulders and down her back and just begs you to run your fingers through it so it flows like a river in your hand and that gorgeous smile that lights up the room and puts you in a happy mood where everything is sunshine and roses even at its darkest hours and you have got the woman of my dreams.

I hope and pray that I didn't drool and stutter too much cause a little voice in my head, I think it was my conscience, saying that this was the woman I have been dreaming aobut meeting forever so not to screw it up. I pray to God that my mind and tongue coperated with each and allowed me to actually say full sentences to Demi cause I defiently wanted to know everything there is about Ms Demi Lovato.

I took every chance i could to hang out with the beautiful both inside and out young woman Matthew had brought into my life, whether on set or outside of work, so I could get to know the woman I fell even more in love with each time I was with her. The time Demi and I hung out, whether with our best friends, family or just with each other, which I loved the most, was one of the best moments of my life. I didn't feel pressured to plan fun things for Demi and I to do together, we both were satisfied with sitting inside our houses and just talk about random things like what matters to us in our lives, the world's happenings and what we have read online about what our fans are saying about us.

Sometimes we don't even have to say anything, we are just comfortable with each other's presence and ourselves so we don't have to talk to really connect with each other, our personalities just mesh with each other so we instantly connect to each other naturally. We can be ourselves around each other, no fakeness, just Demi and Sterling, no questions asked. And anytime I got to hang out with Demi was the highlight of my week, my month and I would even put on my calender of the next time I got to hang out with Demi with a big circle to announce the date.

Spence always tells that on the day when I get to hang out with Demi, even if it is only for a couple of hours, I get this really dorky smile on my face that no matter how many times he tells that it is freaking him out won't go it won't go away. Apparently I take an hour hot shower where I scrub every inch of my body at least twice. Then I become like a girl by trying on so mnay outfits and asking him which one he liked better and squealing about how excited I am to be around Demi. Thanks bro, love you too though I know that you love Demi like an older sister.

Everytime I was around Demi, either on set or off set, or talked or thought about her, I fell even more in love with her, I mean what idiot wouldn't fall in love with Demi as she is like the perfect woman ever made, it was like God created her just for this world and for me. I cringe at the fact that I wasn't the only one who saw what a beautiful inside and out woman she was. I hated seeing Demi in the arms of another man and Demi showering her deep affection to other men cause I know that I am the man of her dreams and the only man who could and ever would truly and deeply love her. These guys may be dating my angel now but I know that Fate will prevail and unfortunately my angel will be dumped by the men she thought loved her for her but weren't mature enough to handle a young woman like Demi.

Even though I never wanted to see Demi's gorgeous brown eyes water up with tears or have her tender, fragile heart broken by anyone cause when Demi is sad then my heart also breaks and I am willing to do pretty much anything to make that million watt smile appear back on her face. Cause even though I have another chance at showing and telling the woman of my dreams how much i truly and openly love her, i don't ever want to see my sweetie get hurt, either physically or emotionally. I just want the best for Demi cause I know she deserves only the best life can offer cause if she is truly happy then I'm truly happy.

I still can't believe that I got the nerve up to sing a song that I had been writting for months now because each lyric and sentence had been taken from the deepest recess of my heart and soul and were poured onto the paper made for my own eyes. I didn't even show them to Mom,Dad, Spence and Sammy for fear that their meaning would disappear and lose its love. I always had the thought that the only person I wanted to see that song or listen to it was Demi and no one else.

I don't know what had made me gather up all my courage and sing my love song to Demi at her 19th birthday but man am I glad that I did cause I won the heart of the woman of my dreams. It was like a scene from a romantic movie that Sammy watches with the moonlight streaming down on us and the only background music was the chirping of the crickets. The scene didn't even matter to me, we could have been in the grimiest room ever it didn't matter cause all I saw was the beautiful woman who had her chocolate eyes focused solely on me and was tearing up. I was nervous cause Demi had the power to either let me down easy by saying that she is flattered by my attention but she only loves me as a older brother and best friend or to make my wildest dreams that I had thought were out of my reach for the past 4 years come true where I finally win the girl in the end and Demi and I have our happily ever after.

The next thing that happened blew my own dreams out of the water; Demi kissed me. I can't believe that Demi's lips touched mine, I could feel her minty, fresh and warm breath on my face and feel Demi pour every inch of her soul and heart into that one small token of affection cause i know that I was pouring every bit of myself into that kiss cause if I was dreaming or this is Demi trying to let me off easy then I wanted this moment to never end.

The earth moved under my feet, my head was spinning and I swear the neighbours could hear my beat beat clear out of my chest. I wanted to treasure this moment forever till I die. I felt like I had heaven in my arms that I never wanted to let go.

Ok I love my friends and Demi's sisters but seriously guys. Couldn't you have waited until Demi and I came inside and told you guys that your, mine and Demi's 4 year dream has finally come true so we can all celebrate with lots of good natured bantering, teasing, what is some friendly teasing between people who feel like family?, laughter and lots of hugs. Mostly them celebrating the fact that their matchmaking has finally panned out , yeah they totally weren't subtle at playing matchmaker for us.

But no they had to make us aware of the fact that they were watching Demi and mine's private, intimate, romantic and heaven on earth moment from Demi's kitchen window by cheering, whooping and calling "It is about time!". How immature are they?. Kidding, I love them very much and am just teasing them like they have been doing to me and Demi all the time but I knew that it is a normal "family" thing to do so I am not really mad

These past 4 years have been the best years of my life, I thought I was happy before, I mean who wouldn't be? I had a family who loves, adores and supports me no matter what I say or do, I had friends who were like my second family and I loved them like brothers and sisters and I had a good career doing what I love to do which is to entertain the audience by making them laugh or have the urge to sing along as I belt out songs that reaches the audiences' hearts and dares them to dance in their seats. What more could a young man want or need? Apparently God decided that I needed true love in my life.

Now that I have Demi in my life, I feel complete, like if I asked God for anything else I would insult him cause he has already given me everything I need to be completely fulfilled in my life. I feel like the Million Dollar Man that can bound over buildings, run as fast as a bullet and freeze time, I feel like I can pretty much do anything cause I know that whatever I say or do in my life, I will have Demi behind me smiling her beautiful smile with a warm and loving hug and kiss for encouragement, and all her support and love. I love having Demi's support, love and encouragement, it makes me feel all warm inside and want to try everything I ever thought was out of reach. Cause even if I fail miserabley, I know Demi will be proud of me for trying my hardest and will give me all the hugs and kisses I need to put a smile back on my face and a song in my soul.

I am thrilled to say that Demi and mine's love grew ever stronger and deeper, deeper then I ever thought love could go, Demi and I connected right to our souls, like we were one soul, heart and body, also known as soulmates. Who knew me, Sterling Sandman Knight could be so deep and thoughtful? My mom taught Spence and me that you need to be thoughtful and deep in order to have long lasting and deep relationships with the people most important to you.

Demi and I have been on cloud 9 with a song in our heart and souls that reach out to the other one, even when we are apart, our hearts communicate with the other like we are speaking telepathetically in our minds. i could talk about Demi for hours at a time, to the distain of our friends, my brother, sister and my fans, I loved to gush about the woman I love and the many reasons why i love her and I don't really care if people get bored of me talking about Demi.

My fans' comments about how "wrong" our relationship is because Demi isn't a "perfect" skin thin, fake, wannabe, easily manipulated young woman who has had some problems in her life aka her eating disorders, and bullying when she was younger like most people in our world didn't faze me. I liked knowing that the love of my life had the same problems as the young people she was coaching to have the best life possible, it made her more approachable and more down to earth cause Demi showed that everyone has problems and with the right amount of love and support from family, friends and trusted professionals you can get past life's challlenges.

The only point of views I cared about was Mom, Dad, Spence, Sammy, Dougie, Tiffers, Brand, Little Aly and of course me. And since everyone who I loved and cared for loved Demi as much as I did and knew that Demi and me were made for each other and made each other the happiest that we could ever be. Plus they knew that Demi and me had been in love for years and now that we got the chance to show ther world how much we love each other no one is gonna stop us from being in love. So I am afraid that the haters of Demi and mine's relationship will have to deal with Demi and I being in love.

I knew I loved Demi with all my heart and soul 4 years ago; I could tell that Demi and me would be one of the couples that would last forever when 2 years into dating Demi, I could picture myself marrying Demi and spending the rest of my life with her and the image of Demi and me being married didn't freak me out or make we want to run away. My nightly dreams either consisted of Demi and me kissing, cuddling and showing the world what true love looks like or the details of Demi and mine's wedding, from Demi's wedding dress, my tux, the bridesmaids' dresses and Demi's and mine from the heart vows that expressed every inch of Demi and mine's love for each other out loud to people other then just to each other.

I would be gazing lovingly into Demi's eyes the entire time while making little circles on the backs of our intertwined hands and wiping her tears away so I wouldn't be focusing on our guests, like always my entire focus would be on my bride's beautiful face as Demi's chocolate goodness would be focused on me and my eyes focused on her, us both communicating silently about how much we love each other and how we can't wait to spend the rest of our life together.

Another one of my favorite dreams was after the wedding about the wonderful, fulfilled life that Demi and I will have together that will be filled with lots of joy,fun times with family and friends, support, love for both Demi and me and wonderful achievements for both Demi and me, both personal and professional. I can see Demi and me with at least 3 kids who were the image of their mommy and me and both of us with successful careers that make us happy and feel like we are making a small difference in the world, me as a writer of cookbooks and a famous actor and Demi as a famous award winner musician and an award movie star as well as continuing to be role models for the younger generation.

I loved my dreams about Demi and me living our lives together as husband and wife so much that whenever my darn alarm would shriek waking me up from my lovely and life like dreams, I would beat up the alarm with my pillow and yell at it for interupting my lovely dreams so soon before I was ready for them to end. There has been a number of times when I have really gotten into my dreams that when I go to kiss Demi or hold her in my arms in the dreams, I fall onto the floor cause i was really kissing my pillow and it sliped off my bed along with me.

Since i wanted my nightly, oh who am I kidding my daily dreams, to come true as soon as possible, I decided then and there that I wanted to make Demi officially the woman i spend the rest of my life with aka Mrs Demi Knight. I must have looked like a total idiot standing there in the magazine aisle in Wal Mart looking at bridal magazine and daydreaming about Demi coming towards me in a gorgeous gown that only enhanced her beauty with her million dollar smile all ready to commit her life to mine. But oh well I was dreaming of what my bride would look like and how I wanted our wedding to be like so back off.

Next stop was the jewelry store cause if I wanted to make my dreams of Demi being my wife I needed to get her a beautiful ring to ask her the biggest question of my life. The saleslady, Kristie, was a perky young lady who practically followed me around the store chitchatting my ear off about how romantic and sweet I am for picking out a ring in order to make a committment to my girlfriend and about how Kristie wishes that her boyfriend of 6 years would finally get enough courage to propose cause a girl can only wait so long before she needs a more serious committment.

Ok Kristie seemed nice but I really didn't want to listen to another girl's life problems when i am trying to find the perfect ring. I looked at many rings, all very beautiful and sparkly but they just didn't scream "Demi" to me. I was looking for a ring that was not too big,not too small, sinple but not too simple that people will think I am cheap and I needed to be able to visualize the ring on Demi's finger for the rest of her life, become a part of the woman that I love.

I finally settled on a simple band with a reasonable size diamond that was engraved with the words "I will love you forever and always" which are my feelings for Demi expressed forever on a piece of jewelry, I never wanted Demi to forget how much i love her, not like she could cause I intend to show and tell Demi how much I love, aodre and worship her for the rest of our lives.

Now to figure out how to ask Demi to marry me in an unexpected, unsual but memorable way, a way that Demi and I can tell our kids about how daddy asked mommy to marry him. Hmm I guess I could propose to Demi backstage or even onstage during one of her concerts, in front of her millions of devoted and loving fans and family but even though I know that everyone would be thrilled for Demi and me and think it was romantic, I wanted it to be just Demi and me when I pop the quiestion cause that will make it 10x more romantic then with an audience.

I guess I could make Demi one of my famous meals that will blow her away, cause I know Demi loves my cooking and likes having a boyfriend who makes romantic meals for her, complete with soft music and candlelight setting the mood with Demi and I slowdancing when I go down on my knee to propose. But that didn't seem extreme and memorable enough, it seemed like a scene from a typical romantic movie.

I have got the most original idea ever; I will propose in Demi and mine's new house that we will live our lives together in. Now I need to find the perfect house, something not to big but not too small but just the right size for a couple just starting out in the lives. I would also love the house to be in a safe, close knit neighbourhood where everyone looks out for each other and who feel comfortable with their neighbours to invite them over for a barbeque and a chat on the front porch.

I went househunting by myself cause I didn't want anyone's opinion but mine, not that I don't appreciate and take to heart Mom, Dad and my soon to be in laws' opinion cause I do, I mean they have lived through more challenges and life then I have so they of course have words of wisdom that a young guy like me needs. But this house was going to be one of my many gifts for Demi and I wanted it to be something that I found all by myself.

Lucy, the realtor thought me trying to find a house for my fiancee and me to start our lives in was so romantic, She practically glomped onto me when I told her the reason I was househunting alone, exclaimed over and over again how happy she was for me and my fiancee and how honored she felt that she was part of this magical moment. The houses she brought me to were nice but there was always something not right about them for me and plus I just couldn't visualize Demi and me living in that house and making a life there.

I finally bought this really adorable, ok now I am starting to sound like Sammy, house with a beautiful view of the pristine beach with a gorgeous view of the ocean, with small gardens for some beautiful flowers that will be lovingly planted by both Demi and me to make our front lawn look nice and homey. Inside the rooms were big enough that you could easily move around in and put all the furniture needed to make the room look inviting to spend some time in.

The master bedroom had French doors that openned on the balcony that over looked the ocean. I could see Demi and I lounging out there drinking our coffee and toast as we watched the sunrise or even snuggling on the chairs watching a rain storm safe under the canopy. I fell in love with the house at first sight, like I did with Demi and look how that turned out, and more importantly I could see Demi and I making a life together in this house so I bought it. Now to phone Demi.

I phoned Demi and asked her to meet me at the house for a special date, what could be more special then proposing in our new house and surprising my love with the news?. That night I was a bundle of nerves, I wrote down everything i wanted to say and practiced it on Demi's picture that was taped to the mirror, my pillow and was held in my hand. All the times I got caught by either Mom, Dad, Spence and Sammy were super embarassing. But I wanted my proposal to be perfect and to go without a hitch and if it means that I am to be red faced in front of my family for awhile then so be it if it means I get to marry the woman of my dreams it will be so worth it.

Demi looked absolutely gorgeous, of course, in her white gown that reached to her ankles and with her hair in a braid over her shoulder she was my goddess, my princess and my angel. Sorry my mind went off in DemiDreamland for awhile, I always do that cause I think of Demi almost 24\7 . With a kiss and a "Hey Gorgeous", which I am always ready for and am willing to give whenever Demi asks, it was time for a tour of the house. I was so nervous, my palsm were filled with sweat, my heart was racing and my mind was racing trying to remember my speech. Hopefully Demi didn't notice my nervousness and asked questions.

When Demi and I got to the balcony I knew the time had come to man up and ask Demi to spend the rest of her life with me. I took her hand and poured out my heart about how much i have fallen in love with her over the years and how much she means to me; "I know that you are probably wondering if I have lost my mind bringing you to an empty house and taking you on a tour of it but i swear I have a good reason to do this. Demi, from the first moment I saw you I fell in love with you heart first and over the years I have fallen even more in love with you, I love every inch of you from your faults to your personality which brings people into your life and fall in love with you like I have.

These past years have been more then I could ever dream it could be; it was like I was in this magical place where I had found my soulmate in the last place I had ever thought possible and who loved me as much as I have dreamed about being loved by someone, a love that is forever and true like my parents's love. I love you Demetria Devone Lovato, heart and soul and you made my life even more complete and filled it with all the love, support and acceptance then I could ever ask for and for that I am entirely grateful."

Then I went on my knee to say the most important speech of my life, I saw Demi take a deep breath and the tears that had been building up in her chocolate eyes as I poured my heart out now began to fall, hopefully our hearts are connecting with each word I was saying. As I talked I pulled out the ring box to unleash the diamonds ring that hopefully will encircle Demi's ring finger for all enternity;"I want to spend the rest of my life showing and telling you how much I love you and how you have completed my life. Marry me Demi and i promise that I will spend the rest of my life making you feel as loved and happy as you have made me. I brought you to this house cause I wanted you to see the house that I hope will become the house that we build our own life and fullfil our dreams in. "

I didn't have to wait long for Demi's response, she threw herself into my arms with a loud "yes" and started to rain kisses all over my face, oh I am enjoying having my face smoothered with kisses and having my angel in my arms so I hope it never ends. I then pulled Demi up, put the ring on Demi's finger that I hope she never takes off and loves it as much I do then it was time for some hugging.

I love hugging Demi, having her in my arms is one of my favorite things to do to show Demi how much I love her, well also kissing, rubbing noses and holding hands but who is counting?. I whispered "I love you" multiple times in her ear which I am so glad that Demi reciprocated my love even though this is not the first time we exchanged "I Love You". I can't believe that I am an engaged man to the woman i have been dreaming about meeting the woman of my dreams, my soulmate and my life partner since I was a little guy and now that I have found her in Demi, I have never giving her up. I can't wait for mine and Demi's journey to true happiness and a fulfilled life filled with love, joy, laughter, true love.

Love at First Sniff

I feel sorry for those people who don't have a good relationship with their in laws, whether it be mother in law, brother in law or sister in law, meaning they fight about the smallest things or say things to the other that is taken out of context and to heart so they can't be in the same room with each other without tearing at each other's throats. I mean when an individual marries their spouses who they love very much, the saying " you are marrying into the family as well as getting a new spouse" is so true.

When I married Demi, I knew that there would be no way that I could seperate her from her family cause I know how important family is to Demi, it is one of the reasons why I fell in love with Demi. My heart melts whenever I saw Demi interact and being all lovey dovey with her family cause I am close to my family too and I would never want someone to seperate or say that in order to continue the relationship I could never speak or be around my family cause then the relationship would be over in an instant cause me and my family are a package deal just like with Demi and her family.

I am proud to say that I have a wonderful relationship with my in-laws though to be honest I have had a good relationship with my in laws since I met Demi and her family after the 1st table reading of SWAC when Mom Lovato, Maddie and Dallas had come to pick up Demi and I had followed Demi out to the car and introduced myself. Ok that might be a bit ackward after I had just meet Demi, introducing myself to her mom and sisters but I had fallen hard for Demi from the first sight of those chocolate doed eyes and million watt smile and each minute I was in the same room and interacting with Demi made me fall even more in love with her so I wanted to introduce myself to the people who are the most important to her cause I was planning to be in Demi's life, whether it be just as best friends or something more like say her future boyfriend :).

Mom , Dad Lovato, Dallas and Maddie made it so easy to like them and have a good relationship with them cause from the beginning the Lovatos have been warm and welcoming to me and the rest of our friends. From the beginning they have made me feel like a part of the family, I have been invited to their family cottege, dinners and events which means I have meet the entire family on both sides even before Demi and I started dating. I need all the glimpses into Demi's personal life and see another layer of the woman that each day I was falling even more in love with.

There was never any ackward moments between the Lovatics and me, I always felt that whenever I needed some guidence from someone and I couldn't reach my parents I could go to Mrs or Mr Lovato which is kind of ironic since most of my questions were about how to woo their daughter and the best and effective way to show Demi how much I truly and honestly love her.

I feel like Maddie and Dallas were my older and younger sister, I mean we could joke around. play fight, hang out and talk about radnom stuff just like I could do with Spence and Sammy. I mean who wouldn't love Maddie and Dallas?. They are both sweet, caring, slightly goofy but in a way where you have to smile and laugh with them and down to earth young woman and I liked them from our first meeting. What can I can Mr and Mrs Lovato raise wonderful daughters? :D. I have a problem introducing them as my sisters in law cause I call them my sisters to people and then when I get blank looks or the "I thought you only had one sister?" look I have to explain that Maddie and Dallas are actually my sister in laws.

Thank God I am not the only one who gets along with my new in laws. My whole family has become fast and deep friends with the Lovatos, our moms always exchange recipes and "motherly advice" and our dads give each other fixing it advice, which never works out for them cause they both can't fix anything and I can say that honestly because neither can Spence and me. Spence and Maddie act like siblings also, Spence is always joking that if anyone, whether they be a boy,girl or random people online messes with his "little" sister, they will have him and me as well as her older sisters, my Dem Dem and Dallas, to deal with.

So when Demi and I got married, we joined our two families together. So through marriage I gained another maternal and paternal role model, another married couple that me and Demi can look at about how a marriage is suppose to be, filled with lots of love, support and caring from both parties through good and bad times and being a best friend, confident and #1 support system for each other, to base our own marriage on. I also got two new sisters, well ok sister in laws but I have already explained why I drop the in law part when talking about Maddie and Dallas. And I am thrilled aobut my new family as well as the fact that I married and will be spending the rest of my life with the woman of my dream, Mrs Demi Knight.

I bought Demi and mine's house without anyone but mine's opinion cause I wanted the house to be a surprise for my new fiancee when I brought Demi to the house to propose. I know I should have brought my mom or dad to go househunting with me but I wanted to go into a house and see if I could feel the connection to the house or can see myself and Demi raising a family and sharing our life together in this house then I would know in my heart of hearts that this is the right house to buy. I didn't really want to have anyone buzzing in my ear about what they thought of the houses I was seeing, the only opinion I cared about was Demi.

Demi and I moved in about a month ago and ever since then we both have been working our butts off to make our new house as homey, comfy and warm as possible. Ok so our friends and family have been wonderful and been helping us as much as they can; helping us move in and giving us the furniture that they have outgrown or have no more use for to furnish our house. But I feel that in order to help our house become more like a home, Demi and I needed a little puppy dog for companionship and for practice for children that hopefully one day Demi and I will welcome with open hearts and arms.

Maddie, Spence and I had already made plans to spend the day together so since we were already going to the mall to hang out, I thought a little trip to the local SPCA would be no problem. They could help me pick the newest furriest member of our family, since Maddie had helped Mom Lovato and Demi to pick out Oliver and Bella and those little furballs are adorable, friendly and lovable little doggies so Maddie has good taste in puppies which I needed.

I also wanted to save a poor defenseless animal who was sent to the SPCA because their family moved, or they were born unwanted because their family didn't have enough money to spade and neuter their pets. What can I say I am a sucker for big puppy dog eyes and a sad face that just screams "What did I do to the people I adore and love to get into this awful place? Whatever it is I am sorry. Now can I go home?". I mean I can't even resist Demi's puppy dog pout and eyes, whenever I see it I crumble and melt like a cookie and do and say anything to make that sad look come off my sweetheart's face. It is much worse on an adorable puppy.

After an hour and a half of walking around the mall, going into stores such as music stores where Maddie and I shared headphones, I was on my knees to get onto her level,while listening to the Glee Soundtrack and mouthing the words to each other since it wasn't appropriate to sing out loud in a store. Then it was time for some clothes shooping for Maddie, Spence and according to Maddie for me cause apparently I needed new clothes. Sweetie I love you but I think I can tell what looks good on me and what doesn't and I really don't feel like being your fashion doll.

After only getting one new shirt and pants after Maddie telling me that "it made my eyes pop", we all breaked for lunch, I got Cesar Salad and meat lovers pizza, Maddie got a meatball sub and Spence got a 2 decker hamburger and fries and yes we had some "OMG we have a celeb in the house" looks from the other patrons and servers but I just went about my business cause today i was just a normal guy hanging out with his brother and sister in law.

The trip to the SPCA was funny and very entertaining. Spence, Maddie and me didn't go right to the doggies but we all went to different kind of animals, Maddie went to the rodents, Spence reptiles and me the puddycats The puddycats were so small, fuzzy and adorable. They were like little balls of fur jumping and pouncing on either their siblings or invisible attackers, too bad I didn't want a kitty. I wanted a pet that I could play with, cuddle with, talk to like they could actually understand me and be one of my best friends, well besides Demi of course. Cats are so anti-social, they only need affection when it is right for them, they really aren't much fun to have around cause if they aren't happy then it is scratchy time. So the kitties are cute but not for me.

After I was finished watching the kitties play fight each other, I went to find my siblings. I found Spence enthralled with a Komodo dragon, oh sure dude fall in love with the reptile but don't expect mom to let you have one cause there is no way mom would allow a slimy thing in her house. I like reptiles but they are also kind of boring as there is really nothing you can do with them cause you can't play with them. So there is no way I am buying one for Demi and me.

Maddie was over by the little rodents, like mice, hamsters and rabbits. I have to admit that they were adorable with their little furry bodies, beady eyes, little whiskers and little feet that tickle your palms as you hold them in your hands. But once again they really didn't do anything except rats and hamsters do run on their little wheels but that is boring to watch over and over again. So once again oh uh on small rodents.

Finally with all the troops assembled, it was time to go looking for small,lovable, adorable ,sweet little balls of fur and a man and woman's best friend. I knew that there would be a lot of puppies to choose from but I never knew there was so many. There were many different colors and sizes of little furballs and all were squirming, yapping, clambering over each other, play fighting and trying to get as much food as they possibley could before it is gobbled up by their siblings.

I wasn't looking for any particular breed of dogs, I didn't want a huge dog, I want a dog that fits nicely in my lap to cuddle on nights when Demi and I are snuggling together either in bed or on the couch either watching TV, reading books or our scripts. I also don't want a dog that would leave a big pile of fur around the house cause then the vaccuum will have to be brought out daily to make sure our house is fur free. I also didn't want a dog that barks all night long keeping Demi, me and the neighbours up or bark whenever someone walks past our backyard gate cause that won't be cute. I also wanted a dog that was friendly to everyone they met and be easy to train cause if not then stress time is coming to me and Demi when training and that is never good. Lastly I don't want to make Demi and me doggy grandparents cause even if Demi and I can afford it, I don't want a litter of puppies in our house, so the puppy has to be neutred or sprayed.

Spence, Maddie and me went to like 10 cages picking up adorable rolypoles puppies of every breed, gender and most of them had all the qualities I was looking for but somehow they just didn't feel like they were the right dog for me and I trust my instinct, hey it lead me to falling in love with Demi and ended up marrying her so why not trust it now?

So with one final kiss and snuggle, the puppies had to be put back into their crates, no matter how bad I felt having to put those lovable little doggies back into their cages and lock them from the outside world when they deserved to be out in the sunshine running like mad in the fresh air with lots of hugs as a reward of being the puppies they were. Thank god that the shelter wasn't one where they kill the innocent animals 24 hours after recieivng them, that made me feel hopeful that all the animals in this shelter would find their own families who will love and take good care of them.

I went to open the door to the next cage and my hand was instantly smothered with tiny, rapid fire licks on my hand. I scooped up this little bundle of curly black fur with little black button eyes and a button nose, I could just feel this little one saying "I just met you and I already love you" which melted my heart. It melted even more as i cuddled her in my arms, she cuddled as close to me as she could, her little body pressed deep into my body, and looked up at me with all the love, trust and adoration I have ever seen, she had just met me but already she trusts me to handle her carefully.

The puppy and I had a staring contest, we were looking deep into each other's eyes like we were both reading each other's minds and hearts to see if we were compactible as Spence and Maddie read off her information. Good, she has all her shots, been dewormed, she's healthy and was netured. Even better the staff wrote that she was very friendly, young enough to teach manners properly and has a good temperment. Since I felt a connection to this little lady right off the bat, I think I have found my new little friend. Congrats little lady, you have found a family.

After only paying $20 for the puppy which also got us a small bag of food, a bed and a leash, we left with the puppy. The puppy seemed to know that she finally was being adopted and had a new family cause she was dancing in my arms, baby barking (small little barks) and trying her little hardest to lick my face as we walked to the car. Spence drove while the little cutie half sat and half danced in my lap, looked out the window at the passing scenere and licked my hand like crazy. I think she was thanking me for adopting her, giving her a family and wanted me to know how grateful she is. You are welcome sweetie. Demi is going to love you so much, she is a sucker for little things whether they be animals or people and one look into those big brown eyes and she is going to fall as much in love with you as I did when I first laid eyes on Demi's big chocolate eyes. I can't wait to show Demi her surprise.

I surprised Demi with the puppy that night. I put the puppy in a gift box ,with holes of course, with a pink bow and told Demi to close her eyes for a surprise cause I told her that I had gotten her something at the store on my siblings day. Ok sweetheart I know you from the heart and soul but why on earth would you trust me to pick you out a pice of clothing like a dress or even jewelry like a necklace? I am not that good at that kind of things honey but I am honored that you trust me with your style.

When Demi closed her eyes, I brought out the box and put it in her lap and told her to open her eyes and open the box. Demi's reaction was priceless and the reason why I love giving people surprises; her eyes and mouth went wide, she looked at me like "You got me a puppy?!" with disbelief in her eyes then with a squeal of delight and cooing about how precious, adorable and how much she loves the puppy already Demi picked up the puppy. Demi cuddled the puppy close and rained little kisses on the top of her head, lucky little girl (I love Demi's cuddles and kisses, heck any form of affection and love Demi gives to me I adore, treasure and love so much that I will do anything I can to recieve these treasures).

I think it was love at first sight for both girls cause the puppy was licking Demi's face and hands like a little winshield wiper and kept looking at Demi with the same love-adoration-complete trust look she looked at me when I first held her. For the next couple of minutes all that could be heard was Demi cooing and speaking in calm, loving, baby-talking tones to the puppy and the puppy whinning as she tried to get as close to her new owner as she could and the slurp on her tongue kissing my wife's checks and neck.

Then it was like she remembered that her loving husband who had bought her newest little friend was still in the room so suddenly Demi launched herself, puppy and all, into my arms and rained her own sweet, loving, tender and joyful kisses all over my face while saying "Thank you" over and over again. Hm I should do more sweet and romantic things for Demi so that I can get more kisses and have my sweetheart in my arms more often.

Then as we watched TV, we brainstormed names for our little puppy but none seemed to fit her personality. I can see why new parents have such a hard time coming up with names for their little miracles and spend hours pouring over baby name books searching for the most perfect name for their child. Demi and I didn't have the luxury of having baby name books so we were searching our brains for the name. We finally both agreed on the name Gracie cause we heard that name on TV for an adorable baby girl and we loved it instantly. So welcome to the Knight Family Ms Gracie Knight. Family hug!

Our New Life

I knew that Sterling was an one of a kind guy, I mean I don't know that many guys or had any ex-boyfriends of mine who were as sweet, sensitive, caring, in touch with my every emotion, wants and needs so that he is prepared to be the shoulder I can cry on, a listening ear, have sweet and caring words of encouragement and comfort or have a warm, loving hug without me having to tell him how I am feeling. Sterling is also the most romantic and supportive person ever; anything I do whether it be get nominated for an award or get over a million followers on Twitter gets me a supportive text about how proud he is of me, as a person and as an entertainer, and how much he loves me.

From the first moment i laid eyes on Mr Sterling Knight at the first table read of "Sonny with a Chance", i thought he was one of the most drop dead gorgeous man I had ever met with his sky blue eyes that draw you into them to discover all his big heart has inside and golden blonde hair that just reflects any light that shines on it and makes you go blind with its shineness plus it just begs you to play with it and breathe in its Irish breeze scent. I vaguely remember saying actual sentences when i was introuduced to Sterling by Mathew the director but I am pretty sure that I was starstruck by Sterling and probably followed him around like a pathetic lovesick puppy.

Good thing Sterling was and totally is a total sweetie so he didn't seem to mind me hanging on his every word and asking him for advice since he had been on TV longer then me. As I got to know him, I fell even more in love with him, he was not only a beautiful person on the outside but also the inside, in short he was the man i had dreamed about meeting since I was a little girl.

Sterling quickly became one of my best friends, we hung out every chance we got both outside and inside the studio and in between takes, whenever we were together it was like we were picking up where we had left off since the last time we spoke, even if we hadn't seen each other for a couple of days according to our set schedules. Being together felt so natural like we could be ourselves fully, no pretenses or fakeness, just the real Demi and Sterling.

I looked so forward to the moments when it was just Sterling and me, it was like a little piece of heaven on earth and a bright moment of my life. When I came home from hanging out with Sterling, I supposely had a perma grin on my face, my whole face lighted up like I had swallowed a flashlight and it is glowing from within and I couldn't stop gushing about how wonderful my time with Sterling was and what a sweetie he was, well according to my mom, Dallas and Maddie.

Even though I was growing even deeper in love with Sterling with each day, I thought that Sterling only loved me as a younger sister and a best friend. Plus there was no way he could ever love someone as insignificant and small as me so why bother keep fooling my heart into thinking the man I love would ever love me back. That is why i dated the guys I did and for the most part they were fine, I mean yes they cheated on me in the end and the last one was a total and complete jerkward who didn't help my self esteem but in the end, no relationship could ever measure to a relationship I know i could have had with the man of my dreams, Mr Sterling Knight.

My heart would break into a million little pieces when Sterling would tell me about the girl he was dating cause it meant that I had lost my chance of true love and knowing true happiness in my life. I regretted not telling Sterling how much I loved him the many chances I had and wasted that time not going towards true love. I wanted Sterling to be happy and feel as much love as he could cause he deserved to have love in his life but i knew that I would be the best woman for him. I have all the love and support he could ever want in his life and I believe I am the best woman for him.

I still can't believe that on my 19th birthday Sterling write me such a romantic, sweet and from the heart song and sang it to me under the stars with the the fireflies as our only audience or so we thought. It was like a scene from one of the romantic movies I love watching. My eyes locked onto Sterling's baby blues as he poured out his heart and soul to me to either crush under my shoe by I saying that I only loved him like a brother or I make both of our dreams come true by saying that I love him too.

What girl haven't dreamed of having a handsome, sweet and romantic guy write a song designed especially for you that drips of his love for you and sings it to you in your backyard? I know I thought it was one of the sweetest, most romantic gestures a guy has ever done for me and I couldn't help but tear up; I am surprised that my mascara didn't run giving me racoon eyes from all the crying I did at knowing the fact that the man I had been in love with for 4 years loves me just as much as i love him and how he had done it so romantic and sweet.

Then I felt heaven on Earth when we kissed. I felt the Earth move from underneath me, sparks flew betwen Sterling and mine's lips, time stop and bells ring in my head just like any romantic movie heroine would say when they kissed the man they are destined to be together with. I forgot that I was in the backyard of my house cause I felt like I was floating over the Earth looking down at Sterling and me kissing.

My face did go red including my ears when our loving friends and Maddie interupted our special moment by catcalling and cheering like idiots, mind you idiots that both me and Sterling love, adore and who have been playing matchmaker for both me and Sterling for 4 years now and who were thrilled that finally the couple they always thought made the perfect couple got together. But seriously guys could you not have celebrated quietly in the house then acted surprised when Sterling and I announced us dating and finally telling the other of our love. Is that too much to ask?

Sterling and I have been dating for about 4 years now and yet it seems like it was only yesterday that we started to date. I thought I was happy enough with expressing my thoughts and emotions through song, hanging out with my truest and loyal friends, giving as much advice and myself to my loyal, devoted and supportive fans and of course my loving and supportive family. But when I started dating Sterling, I felt like I had climbed the highest mountain with limited air, I travelled around the world in a hot air balloon and that I can do anything and be anyone I want to be cause I know that whatever I did, Sterling would be right behind me supporting and loving me no matter what I said or did cause I knew he loves me for myself and won't try to change me.

And according to our loving family and friends Sterling and I have perma grins on our faces and are floating on air during the last 4 years and throughout those years as our relationship went from young love to mature, long lasting love. Our love only grew stronger even through the challenges life brought us, like the media trying to tear our relationship apart with their lies and made up rumors and the fans of both Sterling and I tweeting us about how "wrong" our relationship is because of our 3 year age difference and because I am "damaged". Mostly they tell us that our relationship will never last and that we are just fooling ourselves and the other person with this "fake" relationship and that we are only hurting ourselves and each other if we continue this charade.

Sorry you guys don't think Sterling and i are made for each other and soulmates but Sterling and I do think that and we are madly in love so please just be happy for us and let us continue living our love's dream with minimum drama. Over the years I have fallen even more in love with Sterling, so much that whenever a talk show would mention Sterling I would smile and couldn't help but gush about him, it seems Sterling had the same problem when someone asked about me and our relationship.

Even at the topic of marriage and kids didn't scare me, it gave me a thrilling and exciting shiver in my tummy whenever I thought of being able to spend the rest of my life beside Sterling, loving him, supporting him and going through my life side by side as husband and wife. I even started to daydream about Sterling and mine's wedding day, going through every detail of the day from my dress, the bridesmaids' dresess and even my vows, and even what a typical day of Sterling and mine's day complete with children and Sterling and me being successful being of society, me as an award winning movie star\ top selling musician and Sterling as an Emmy winning actor and writer of at least 3 cookbooks of his delicious meals. And the daydreams didn't scare me at all, I actually got mad that I had to wake up and not be able to finish my lovely dreams.

I didn't even batt an eye when Sterling asked me to come to a secret location for our date night, though I was thinking "Why am I at this adorable little Malibu Beach house near the beautiful blue green sea?" because I assumed that Sterling had a good reason to be in this house that probably belonged to a sweet couple and I just hoped we weren't intruding on anyone's property. Sterling met me at the front door with a hug, kiss and a "hello there gorgoeus".

The house was empty, there was no furniture or anything in there so who the heck owned this house and more importantly why were we here? Sterling waved my questions away saying all questions will be answered shortly but first a tour of the house. The house was even more gorgeous on the inside then the outside though the small gardens on either side of the front door and the lush green grass that make up a reasonable size front lawn made the house really inviting to come into.

The house was reasonable sized for a couple just starting out in life and their marriage, it had a good size living room, dinning room, kitchen (with all its appliences in there) and my favorite feauture, in the master bedroom behind french doors was a belcony that gave the most beautiful view of sparkling clear water, pristine beaches and where you also get a beautiful view of a sunset or sunrise.

While Sterling and I were on the balcony, he took my hand and said "I know that you are probably wondering if I have lost my mind bringing you to an empty house and taking you on a tour of it but i swear I have a good reason to do this. Demi, from the first moment I saw you I fell in love with you heart first and over the years I have fallen even more in love with you, I love every inch of you from your faults to your personality which brings people into your life and fall in love with you like I have.

These past years have been more then I could ever dream it could be; it was like I was in this magical place where I had found my soulmate in the last place I had ever thought possible and who loved me as much as I have dreamed about being loved by someone, a love that is forever and true like my parents's love. I love you Demetria Devone Lovato, heart and soul and you made my life even more complete and filled it with all the love, support and acceptance then I could ever ask for and for that I am entirley grateful."

Sterling went down on his knee and my heart stopped beating for a moment then leaped and raced at the possibility of what Sterling's actions could mean. Do I dare pray that Sterling was going to propose to me? Please let me not be dreaming. Sterling took out a small velvet box that opened to show the most gorgeous diamond ring and then took my hand.

"I want to spend the rest of my life showing and telling you how much I love you and how you have completed my life. Marry me Demi and i promise that I will spend the rest of my life making you feel as loved and happy as you have made me. I brought you to this house cause I wanted you to see the house that I hope will become the house that we build our own life and fullfil our dreams in. "

Sterling didn't have to wait too long for my answer as I screamed "Yes!" and threw myself into his arms raining kisses onto his face which after he was able to pinpoint my mouth he gladly returned. Then he pulled us both up and put the beautiful ring onto my finger then we hugged as he whispered in my ear "I love you" over and over again which of course I returned. I can't believe that I am actually an engaged woman to the man of my dreams. If I am dreaming, please don't wake me up cause I am loving this dream. I also can't believe that this is the house that Sterling and mine's life will begin with our own memories, journeys and where our love will flourish even more everyday. I can't wait for that journey to begin

Castle in the Sky

Sterling's POV

Man why does doing something good for the people I love have to be so hard? All I wanted was to build a nice, sturdy treehouse for Sonny and Kayleigh that they could play in with their dolls, toys and make up little plays with their wide and expessive imaginations that will amuse them for hours at a time with all new and exciting games that Kay and Sonny come up with for every new piece of clothing they pull out of the costume chest.

I still remember how much fun, Sammy,Spence and me, had in treehouse that dad built for us. We would spent hours up there making up skits, Sammy was always the damsal in distress since she was the only girl, I, the brave Knight ;) and Spence, my partner in crime, playing board games and Sammy playing Barbies and Spence and me cars. The treehouse was a place where our imaginations could grow, flourish and where we could express it anyway we wanted to and we were heartbroken when it got so woren and shabby that dad and mom forbid us to go up there anymore and dad actually destroyed it when I was in Grade 5,

Sammy, Spence and me were all saddened about the loss of our childhood hideout, I mean we didn't just play in it but we also had camp outs with our friends up in the tree house and it was always a place where we could go to hide from the world and its challenges and expectations and be kids for hours at a time. And I want to hopefully give those kind of childhood memories and experiences that I had to my own children which means I am building the girls a tree house in our backyard.

I am not going to try to convince Demi or myself that I am a handyman cause I would be lying. I have tried to be the handyman in the house, fixing up any problems the house gets like a leaky facuet or the washer breaking down but I always just make things worse. When I tried to fix the facuet, the water tempatures got mixed up so that the cold water came out of the hot water tap (man it was scalding) and the hot water out of the cold (the water was freezing cold) which wasn't fun when you are trying to do the dishes or have a bath. The handyman took one look at the facuet and washer and knew that I had tried to fix it cause I totally ruined it further. Thanks dude for the vote of confidence in mankind, now Demi will never let me go near any applience and fixture again without hanging over my shoulder worried about mine and our family's safety.

With my limited skills and knowledge of building, you would think that I would hire a contractor to build my angels' treehouse but being the stuborn and determind man that Demi fell in love with years ago, thanks honey I love you too, I decided to build the treehouse myself so that I can take pride in my work and effort of building the dream castle for my two little princesses and maybe even a place where my Queen and I can get away from the world's challenges and struggles and have some Sterling-Demi time alone time which since the girls' have arrived and our schedules have gotten even more hectic hasn't been a lot of time. Although Demi and I still go on dates every Friday night,whether it is going to the movies or going bowling as long as we are together having fun I am having a blast and loving each moment of it.

I had a weird experience at the hardware store, it seemed like everyone stopped what they were doing,turned to stare at me with wide eyes and open mouths and their eyes followed my every move. It was like it was really unusal for a celebrity, though I wouldn't consider myself a celebrity as I am just a guy who acts on TV but today I am a normal guy buying lumber for a project. As I went from aisle to aisle looking for the items on my list that I sat down with Demi to write to make sure that I got everything I needed to build the treehouse so that I didn't have to stop in the middle of the work and rush to the store to get the forgotten items. i could feel a thousand pairs of eyes on my back.

Even the associate that I asked where I could find a certain stronger, tougher wood, looked at me like she was dreaming that I was actually talking to her that she didn't say a word but only tried to squeak out directions and ended up just pointing to an aisle. Then when I said "thank you" and walked away she squealed and ran away to tell her co-workers about her brush with a celeb. Well I guess I should be glad that I made someone's day better but it irked me that I was being treated like I was some God. Really people I, Sterling Sandman Knight aka a husband and daddy, just came in here for some items, no big deal.

I had asked Demi if she could take Kay and Sonny away from the house cause I wanted to build the house without having two inquistives and trying to be helpful but unfortuantely getting in my way and making things 2x harder without meaning to be underfoot while I am working with heavy and dangerous pieces of wood and tools which could hurt anyone who is in the wrong place at the wrong time. If I hurt Kay and Sonny in anyway, I would feel so bad and be so apologetic, like staying by their side through their recovery even if it's a minor scratch. When any of my girls hurt, I hurt with them cause that is how much I love them.

Demi took the girls to the library to get some books for bedtime reading, Demi and I read to the girls everynight before bed to get them excited about learnign to read themselves one day, and to see the "Playtime Puppeters" put on the play "Cinderella", the girls' favorite fairy tale, in the local park before playtime in the playground. Hopefully the girls will be gone for awhile cause by the amount of pieces of wood and nails I bought, it will take me awhile and I don't want to have to make the backyard off limits to the girls until I finish their surprise cause that would make Kay and Sonny really sad cause they love going outside to play. Kayleigh and Sonny could spend all day outside, riding their bikes, drawing on the sidewalk with chalk and doing gymnastics on the front lawn and actually put up a fuss when it is time to come in for dinner.

Ok when I got home and looked at all the materials, I could feel my stress level increase and my gut tense up in anticipation of the many hours I will have to spend on the treehouse. Ok time to get down to business and hopefully it won't take me all day like I fear it will be. First of all I needed to read the directions before I started and darn it if the instructions weren't cystal clear or easy to follow, you know step by step instructions to make the whole process easier. They were like "Nail piece A into piece D with a 3\4 from the side" kind of thing and for a first timer like me, that was like another language.

I am glad that the girls weren't there at the moment cause man was it really really hard not to swear and beat up the material. They just weren't working with me, I kept getting splinters from the wood and hitting my fingers with the hammer which would make me stifle my curses and sucking my finger as I grimace with pain. I am pretty sure I looked like an idiot to my neighbours as I used one piece of wood to beat up the work I have gotten done in frustration and yell at it for not listening to me. But it did help my stress level and make me feel a little better so I guess my tantrum helped.

It took me awhile, like say all afternoon well into the early evening, when I hit the last nail and stood back to observe my work and I have to say that I did a pretty good job on the treehouse. I mean it had all the parts in the right place and was tough enough that when I did a test run it didn't fall apart. My neighbours probably thought I was the biggest kid ever, climbing all over up a ladder and entering a treehouse that obviously was way too small for me, my head kept hitting the ceiling but hey I needed to check out what my sweet, innocent angels would be playing all over so that I can be 100% certain it won't fall apart and hurt Kayleigh and Sonny badly cause then I will know that I didn't do my job of protecting my little girls of any hurt and pain.

When the girls came back, the girls were really anxious to see their new treehouse but Sonny came home all dirty, muddy and not understanding why she needed a bath before dinner. So after a nice, warm and a water splashing contest, both girls were clean and looking aodrable in their footie pjs. The girls gave a small protest when Demi and I said that since they were already bathed, in their PJs and already had dinner, that it was not the time to go play in the treehouse but that as soon as they got up and were ready for the day, they were more then welcome to play as much as they wanted in their new toy.

The only way that Sonny and Kay would go to bed without any fuss or protest which knowing little Miss Sonshine is quite an accomplishment is to see their new toy. According to my youngest sleep is boring and will try any tactic she can come up with in her little brain to stall going to bed to mine and Demi's utter dismay and make us fall into bed each night more dead tired then hours at the recording studio and TV station could ever make us.

By the girls' expressions you think we had given Kayleigh and Sonny their biggest dream or they saw their idols, Kay- Princess Cinderella and Sonny- Tinkerbell. Their eyes went wide and their mouths dropped open as they gazed up at the treehouse and walked slowly over to it. Then it was time for the girlie happy squeals complete with jumping and down while exclaiming "OMG daddy it is really purty. Mommy look at what daddy made us. Isn't it bootiful?".

Then both Kayleigh and Sonny glomped onto me; almost taking me down with their energy but I was thrilled that my efforts were being so greatly welcomed and appreciated with such enthusiam. I got kisses from all my girls, the girls rained kisses on my cheecks and Demi gave me a soft, tender and loving kiss right on the lips. Hmm I should do sweet and caring things more often, no matter how frustrated I might get, as long as I get a huge thnak you hugs and kisses from my three angels, the pain and frustration means nothing to me.

Sonny and Kayleigh were put to bed with miminal fuss or giving Demi and me a hard time. When the girls were tucked into bed, Demi gave me her own congrads, she was so proud of me that I was able to build the treehouse and not offend the neighbours with young children by swearing and carrying on cause she was sure that the building wasn't the easiest thing ever to do. In between cuddles and kisses, Demi dressed my wounds with neosporin and Scobby Doo band-aids and more of her loving, tender and loving kisses which totally made the cuts and scraps feel much better and pulse with more love then pain. Hmm I should get hurt more often for some loving care from my own nursemaid and get more kisses and snuggles from Demi. But for now it is nighty night until tommarrow when my angels can try out their new toy.

Demi's POV

I didn't think Kayleigh and Sonny could get anymore adorable then they already are, though everyday they surprise me with new ways to make Sterling and I go "aww" at our little darlings' actions and things they say about what is happening around them. I have to say as a biased mommy to two adorable, smart and sweet little girls that it seems like everything they say and do is adorable to me cause I love them with all my heart. But what happened this morning took the cake.

At 7 am, I was awoken by loud noises downstairs, I didn't think it were robbers cause who in their right mind would rob a house at 7am? But being the mindful and over protective mommy I am, I had to check on the girls but first I needed to check out the noise to make sure a stranger hadn't entered my house and wanted to hurt the people I love so I gingerly got out of bed since Sterling was so sleepy and sore from his hard work and needed his beauty sleep, though he is already handsome so he doesn't need beauty sleep.

The sight I saw in the kitchen made me both grimace and go "aww"; the kitchen was a diaster area; flour, surgar, and dough covered every inch of the counter and my wide eyed, flour and egg yolked covered little girls. Kayleigh and Sonny looked like they were in the middle of stiring the batter in the big bowl that was too big that neither girl could properly hold it so it kept crashing to the floor spilling some more batter onto the floor, good thing it was plastic or the girls would have to deal with glass in their tiny feet.

When the girls saw me, they ran to me, wrapped their little arms around my legs and at once exclaimed; "Mommy, please help us. We want to make panycakes for daddy to say tanks for the purty treehouse but it went heywire on us!" One look at their desperate looks and knowing that they had made this humogous mess to try in their innocence to do something sweet for their daddy as a thank you and I rushed into help them. How can I be mad at them for making a mess when it was for good intentions.

I helped the girls clean up the mess with lots of sponges and soap and then helped the girls make up a new pancake mixture while reminding them that they had to keep their voices down from squealing about how excited they are about being able to play on ther new treehouse and surprising their daddy with their special treat cause I didn't want to wake up Sterling and ruin the surprise we had all planned.

When the apple pancakes were all toasty brown and the tray was covered in a cup of hot coffee, the plate of pankackes, syrup and culterly, we climbed the stairs with me carrying the tray while Sonny held the rest of the pancakes on a plastic plate and Kayleigh with their sippy cups of milk. When we reached Sterling and mine's room, Kay and Sonny put their held items down on the carpet, rushed as fast as their little legs could carry them into the room, jumped onto the bed and started to jump up and down on it while yelling "Daddy, wakey wakey. We have a surpise for you. Well mommy helped but Sonny and I did the work too"

When Sterling woke up with a growl and lunge for the girls, gathering the girls up in his arms and holding them close while tickling the heck out them although from their playful screams and peals of laughter both Sonny and Kayleigh were enjoying every moment of their daddy attack. I picked up the items on the floor so they wouldn't get knocked down in case the tickling game moved from out of the bedroom to the rest of the house. After I had put the food on the bedside table I stood there with a sweet smile at how gorgeous picture my own little family was in front of me and capturing the moment in my memory.

Soon the game was over when Sterling noticed the tray of food and asked where it had come from. Sonny and Kayleigh explained in rush but excited tones about how they had gotten up willingly at 7 am without any help from anyone and had tried to make pancakes for their daddy to say thank you for making their new treehouse but it was a lot harder then mommy makes it out to be, aww thanks honeys, so mommy had to help them. We all got kisses as a thank you although lucky me got a warm, long, tender kiss right on my lips complete with a loving glance afterward from Sterling. Then it was time for breakfast of yummy, fluffy pancakes and talks about what Kayleigh and Sonny wanted to do when they get their hands on their new treehouse. Right now I am enjoying spending some quiet time with my family.
