I finally had a moment to make something for him xP
 
Just so you all know, I don't care if he is married and is having a baby, we will get married someday so this set is dedicated to my future husband♥ Jensen Ross Ackles♥ (a.k.a the love of my life xP )

“Heidi, I don’t know if I can do this anymore.” Stella spoke into the phone. It had been a month since Stella and Chad’s last official date and Stella was beginning to second guess their “relationship”.
“What do you mean? I thought things were good between you and Chad.” Heidi answered.
“They are, don’t get me wrong, but things are /too/ good. If that makes any sense.” Stella slowly began to pace back and forth in Chad’s kitchen. Luckily he wasn’t home, which is why Stella seized the moment to call someone for advice.
“Please explain.” Heidi said.
“Ok well, when we first started going out things were great. We didn’t really see each other everyday, which was good, and then we would go out every Friday or Saturday. But ever since our last date, which was a month ago, I’ve been staying at his house and we see each other EVERY DAY.”
“So?” Heidi laughed a little. “Most people would be glad to see their boyfriend every day.”
“Oh I am, trust me. But I’m still trying to get use to all of this and something just feels...weird. Do you know what I mean?”
“Uh, no.”
“Well, it’s hard to explain...but I just feel like I need something more.”
“More as in...?”
“More as in...” Stella sighed. “I’m not sure. To be honest, ‘more’ is what I’m sort of scared of and I’m totally lost right now...” Stella heard Heidi let out a slow breath on the other end of the phone.
“I don’t know what to tell you Stell, other than...well...you need to stop getting so scared. Chad is a nice guy and he’s crazy about you. We all can see that. And we know that you’re crazy about him too. So grow up a little and face your fears. I mean. what do you have to lose?”
 
* * * * * * *
“Stella! I’m home!” Chad yelled from the door.
“I’m in the living room!” She shouted back. A couple minutes later he appeared in the doorway to the living room. She looked up from her magazine and smiled.
“How was your day off?” He asked as he loosened his tie and walked over to her.
“Boring. I had absolutely nothing to do with myself all day.” She laughed lightly. “I think that’s the first time I’ve ever said something like that.” He chuckled and leaned down to kiss her. She kissed back and smiled after he pulled away. He unbuttoned his collar and sat down next to her.
“Well, luckily, you won’t feel that way tomorrow.” He smiled.
“What do you mean?” She raised an eyebrow.
“You’ll see.” He mumbled before he got up from the couch and walked to their bedroom.
* * * * * *
Stella woke up the next morning to the smell of hazelnut coffee. She opened her eyes and saw a fresh cup of coffee on her nightstand. She sat up and reached for it immediately and took a quick sip. She smiled to herself and then looked around the room to see that Chad wasn’t in the room with her. She glanced at the clock and saw that it was only 8:30 am. She sighed and took another sip of coffee before getting out of bed and stretching her arms and legs. She walked across the room to look out the window and smiled when she saw that it had snowed overnight. She drank the rest of her coffee while she stared out the window and then decided to hop in the shower and get ready for the day.
 
Once she was dried off and got dressed, she traveled out to the living room to see if she could find Chad. He was nowhere to be found so she decided to watch some tv for a little bit and figure out what to do later. Just as she was about to turn on the tv, she heard the front door open and saw Chad appear in the doorway. She smiled and noticed that he was trying to hide some sort of excitement.
 
“Hey babe, is everything okay?” She asked as she got up off the couch.
“Go get your jacket and shoes on.” He said quickly with a wide grin.
“Uh, okay?” She didn’t bother questioning him since he looked to be as happy as a kid in a candy store.
 
She came out a few minutes later with her shoes and jacket on and stood in front of Chad waiting to go. He glanced down at his shoes and raised his eyebrow.
 
“Heels? With 2 inches of snow outside?”
“Have you ever seen me without heels Chad? No heels, no outside. Besides, they’re wedges.” She crossed her arms and then looked down at her shoes. He sighed.
“Okay, well I guess they’re fine. Just don’t fall and break your neck out there.” He pointed his finger, sounding a little protective. She giggled a little.
“It’s not my first winter, I’ve been wearing these things for years.” She walked closer to him and smiled. “But thank you for being so concerned.” She leaned up and kissed him. He smiled and kissed back.
“I just don’t want you getting hurt.”
“I know.” She smiled again and looped her arm through his. “Now what are we doing?”
“Oh right! Come on, I have something to show you.” He smiled as he quickly led her out the door.
* * * * * *
“Chad, where are we going? We’ve been walking for HOURS.” Stella complained. Chad chuckled.
“It’s only been 20 minutes.” He glanced down at her.
“Oh...right.” She looked down at her feet.
“Your feet hurting in those things?” He said with a hint of cockiness. She looked up at him and knew that he wanted to be right about their previous conversation.
“Ya know, yeah I think they are.” She lied. “I guess I probably should’ve worn a different pair of shoes today.”
“Well, we’re almost there. But I’ll tell you what...” He gave a slight grin, satisfied that he was right. “Since you admitted that I was right and you were wrong, I’ll give you a piggyback ride for the rest of the way.” Stella smiled and he stepped in front of her, letting her jump on his back.
 
She held on tight and they made their way down the street while everyone stared at them. They didn’t care what others thought, in fact, they were even laughing at some of the face that were staring at them. Chad stopped a few buildings before his surprise and set her down. She was trying to calm herself from laughing at one of the people they saw and Chad was just amused with the fact that she laughed at the simplest things.
 
“Are we there yet?” Stella asked after finally calming herself down.
“Almost.” He pulled out a bandana and folded it up. “Just put this blindfold on for me.” He said as he put it over her eyes and tied it behind her head.
“Okay?” She laughed nervously.
“Don’t worry, it’s just around the corner.” He chuckled and began to lead her a little ways down the street. He stopped her in front of a store and turned her towards the window.
“You ready?” He asked.
“Yes! You’re making me nervous!”
He laughed. “Okay, okay.” He untied the bandana and pulled it away from her face.
She opened her eyes and looked at the store.
“Why are we stopped in front of the pet store?” She looked back at him with a look of confusion on her face.
“Come on.” He took her hand and led her into the store. He stopped her once they were in the store. “Wait here.”
“Okay?” She asked before he walked over to the counter, leaving her in the middle of the store, surrounded by animals. She walked over to some animal cages and began to pet some cats through their cages.
“Stella, what do you think?” Chad asked from behind her. She turned around and saw him standing there with a puppy in his arms.
“Chad...What’s that?”
“This is a Pharaoh Hound puppy. He was found stranded behind the shop a few days ago and after being looked over by a vet and fed properly, they finally put him up for sale and he caught my eye.” Stella walked over to Chad and held her fingers out to the scared puppy in his arms. The dog sniffed her fingers before finally giving in and bowing his head, allowing her to pet him. She ran her hand over his soft hair and she looked up at Chad who had a serious look on his face.
“Is everything okay Chad?” She continued to pet the dog and even allowed him to lick her.
“Yeah,” he gave a faint smile. “so what do you think? Can we keep him?”
“Well...” She sighed and glanced down at the dog again. He looked up at her with his sad eyes and she felt her heart break a little. “Okay.” She gave in and smiled up at Chad. “We can keep him." Chad bit his lip slightly and smiled before leaning down and kissing her softly.
"Thank you." He whispered before turning around and walking back to the assistant.
* * * * * * *
“So what should we name him?” Chad asked as he sat down on the couch and watched their new puppy explore the apartment.
“Hmm, I don’t really know.” Stella smiled. “I’ve never had to name a pet before.”
“Really?” Chad looked over at her.
“Yeah...I was never allowed to have a pet when I was younger. Well, except for fish. I had one, but it was already named when I got it so I didn’t change the name.”
“Oh...” Chad nodded slowly. “Okay, well any ideas?” Stella thought about it for a minute. Chad ran his fingers through his hair and let out a sigh. “Oh come on, no favorite tv character? No names that you wanted to name your children?”
“I never thought about having children.” Stella glanced down at the floor.
“Really? I thought all teenage girls did.”
“Yeah, normal teenage girls.” She sighed.
“Well, did you try?”
“No. I was too busy and it didn’t cross my mind.” Stella was becoming slightly annoyed.
“Not even late at night? Before you drifted off to sleep?” Chad could her Stella’s tone change.
“Why are you asking me so many questions?!” She snapped.
“I just want to know what you’re thinking!” Chad exclaimed.
“So you bombard me with questions about children?!” Stella glared at him. Chad’s expression softened and he looked over at the dog laying down across the room.
“You want to know why I wanted to get that dog?” He questioned as he stared at the dog.
“Why?” Stella whispered.
“I got the dog because I wanted to see where we’re at in this relationship.” He looked back at her.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean...” He paused and took her hand in his. “When you told me that Heidi and Kevin were getting married, it got me thinking.” He looked down at her fragile hand and ran his thumb over her smooth skin. Her eyes widened.
“Chad, if you try proposing to me right now, I might just slap you across the face.” Chad chuckled.
“I’m not proposing! I promise.” Stella let out a sigh of relief and Chad’s smile slowly faded.
“Don’t sound too happy or anything.” Chad said sarcastically before running a hand through his hair. Stella watched him.
“Don’t get me wrong here, I love being with you, but why are you trying to rush things? We’re still getting to know each other and I don’t want to put too much pressure on this.”
“I understand, but I just...”
“Chad, we are fine. Believe me. I’m not going anywhere. I actually want to make this one work.”
“Ok, I do believe you. But can you answer this one last question for me?”
“What’s that?” Stella gave a soft smile.
“Do you see a future for us?” He searched her eyes to see if he could find the truth. She took a moment to think and closed her eyes. Did she? That was a good question.
“Maybe.” She said before finally opening her eyes. He bit his lip nervously, unsure if he liked that answer. “I feel like we should focus on right now. I promise I will answer that question. But I need time. Can you give me that?”
“Yeah.” He shook his head. “I guess I can.” Stella smiled nervously. She could sense that he was a little let down and she didn’t want him to feel that way. She took his face in her hands and forced him to look at her.
“Hey,” She said firmly. “none of this matters just yet. Want to know what does matter?” She took a deep breath before continuing. “The fact that I love you.” His eyes widened and she saw the corner of his lips curl up into a smile. “Okay? So all this future talk can wait. I love you. That is all that matters.” She said before pulling his face to hers and kissing him hard. He pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled away slowly and rested his forehead against hers.
“Okay.” He whispered. “I love you too.”

Been trying to finish this for months but nothing seemed to sound right.
Hope you enjoy it :)
Let me know what you think to the sort of "ending" chapter for Stella

I probably won't put the chapter up tonight since I have to go to bed for work tomorrow, but I just wanted to let everone know that I'm writing again! @xokrissy-mariexo

Now that I have your attention, I would just like to ask @xokrissy-mariexo and @miss-erin to UPDATE YOUR STORIES. I would enjoy something to read, and I know I've been slacking...but hey, my story is almost done and I've given you 46+ chapters to read so I would like for you two to please just add another chapter!! Ok, that is all, you are now dismissed from this pointless set.
 

P.S. look at the penguins xP they're cute :p

Heidi slipped her feet into her brand new, shiny red pair of high heels. She had done a little bit of shopping recently as a way of trying to make herself feel better. There was only a few more weeks until Kevin would be home and it was starting to feel like he would never come home. She was always trying to keep her mind off of the thought of him cheating on her with his ex, so she decided to take up shopping as new hobby and a way to distract her. She was mostly into buying shoes lately, but today she thought she might splurge on a whole new outfit.
 
She stood up and adjusted her dress. It was tighter than what she usually buys, but it was cute and she thought she might try a new style. She glanced in the mirror and made sure everything looked good. Tonight she thought that she would treat herself to a nice dinner at her favorite restaurant. She was going to her favorite Thai restaurant, Kittichai. Going there meant that she had to travel to Soho, but that was okay. It wasn’t too far from her apartment and it was worth it. She only goes there if she’s feeling down or wants to treat herself. And tonight was a little bit of both.
* * * * * * * *
Heidi stepped out of the cab and walked into the restaurant. She smiled and talked with the hostess for a few minutes since they both were familiar with each other, and then she was seated at her usual seat which was a quiet booth in the back. The restaurant was dimly lit, perfect for a relaxing night out, and it had a very modern design to it, which she enjoyed a lot. The booths had walls in between them that had cut out rectangular shapes going from the floor and up to the ceiling, they reminded Heidi of a sideways brick wall sort of pattern.
 
She looked over the menu and then decided on her usual. After she ordered, her waiter came back with her drink a few minutes later. She had ordered Rieslings, which is a sweet wine that she orders every time she comes here because the sweetness off sets the spiciness from the Thai food and it’s nice to have every once and awhile.
 
Heidi glanced around the restaurant and noticed it wasn’t as crowded as it usually was, which was a good thing because she hated listening to other people talk while she was trying to eat in peace. She glanced down at her phone and sighed. No one had talked to her in about a week and she was feeling like she was all alone and her friends had forgotten about her. Everyone was off living their happy lives while she sat there alone in a restaurant on a Saturday night.
 
Ever since Beth and Jensen had gotten back from their weekend in Vermont, they couldn’t keep their hands off of each other. She would spend a few days at his house and then he would come over after work on some nights. Izzy didn’t mind that her sister was paying less attention to her now, she was happy for Beth, so some of the time she would camp out on Heidi’s couch if she wanted a quiet night away from the two love birds. Casey had practically moved in with Jared and Heidi hasn’t heard from her in a little over two weeks now. She missed having Casey around the apartment, even though they were always doing their own thing, but every Thursday night they would sit down and watch a new episode of Grey’s Anatomy together, and now that Casey was gone, Heidi had to watch it by herself.
Then there was Stella, which Heidi didn’t really pay attention to. She was just glad that Stella was finally taking things slow with a guy. Her and Chad have been dating for a little while now, and things seemed to be going great. Which was good, Heidi was really happy for them. But that left her all alone, waiting for her boyfriend to return. She really did miss Kevin though. Two months is too long to be without him. She missed hearing his voice and having his arms wrapped around her. She could really use a hug from him right now to cheer her up, but all she had to comfort her was her new clothes and a fancy meal.
 
Heidi’s thoughts were interrupted when her waiter came back with her meal and he refilled her wine glass before leaving her alone. She let out a heavy sigh before finally deciding to dig into the delicious meal that was steaming in front of her.
* * * * * * *
After Heidi had finished her meal, she decided to take a little detour before heading home. As she was walking, she realized that her phone was about to die so she turned it off and put it back in her purse. It’s not like anyone wants to talk to me anyways, she thought. She decided to walk to the park that was sort of in between her apartment and Kevin’s. It was where her and Kevin had spent many days sitting on a bench and watching ducks swim by in the pond while they simply just watched and enjoyed each others company.
 
It was then that she actually spent the time to study him. She tried to do it when he wasn’t paying attention, but sometimes he caught her and they would laugh because she would try to hide it like a little kid sneaking candy by their parents. But in those moments where she got to steal a few glimpses at him, she noticed more things about him that made her fall even more in love with him. Like how if he smiled, his nose looked like a pig nose. It was odd, but she thought it was the most adorable thing ever. Or how he had a crooked smile, it wasn’t that noticeable unless you looked closer, and sometimes when he laughed, he bit the tip of his tongue and it always made her smile because of how cute he looked. Oh and when he shaved his face, he looked like a 17 year old boy again. She would always pick on him for that, but it was better than letting his facial hair grow into a beard and a mustache. Heidi hated too much facial hair, but she found stubble adorable and it suited Kevin perfectly.
 
She sat down at their favorite bench and leaned back against it. She slipped off her shoes and relaxed her feet in the cold grass. It was getting late out and she knew she should get home, but she had the need to stay here and watch the pond. It was so peaceful and undisturbed. The water hypnotized her for a few minutes before she snapped out of it and realized that she was shivering. The temperature had dropped quickly while she had been sitting there. She rubbed her arms to try to heat them up but it was no use.
 
“It’s a little late for a pretty little lady like you to be sitting out here in the dark, all alone.” Heidi jumped out of her seat at the sound of a voice behind her. She turned around and her eyes widened. There was a man standing on the pathway behind the bench. It was hard to see his face because it was hidden in the shadows of a tree. He slowly began to walk towards her and into the light that the park light by the bench gave off. He spoke up again. “Some creep might drop by and try to pick you up. Maybe even kidnap you.” Heidi crossed her arms and tried to hide her smile when she saw who is was.
“I think I can handle things, I’m a tough girl.” He stepped closer to her.
“What if a rabid squirrel chased after you instead?” He raised an eyebrow. She giggled. Only he would think of that, she thought.
“Well, then I might just have to run and get my big hunky boyfriend to save me.”
He nodded.“That seems logical.”
Heidi couldn’t take it anymore. Her excitement was too overwhelming. She grinned and ran up to him and jumped into his arms, which ended up taking both of them down and they landed on the grass.
“Kevin, what are you doing here?” Heidi said in between her giggles. Somehow, on the way down from the tackle, Kevin had landed on top of her.
“I finished the article early so they sent me home. What no ‘I’ve missed you’ or ‘how are you’?” He chuckled and pushed her hair out of her face. She smiled up at him.
“I missed you.” She said before grabbing the back of his neck and pulling him closer to her and kissing him hard. God she had missed his lips. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed back with passion. He had been longing for this for a little less than two months now and she could tell. After a minute of their intense kissing, he pulled away to try and catch his breath. He smiled down at her and bit his lip. She smiled up at him and still couldn’t believe he was here.
“Uh, Kev?” She asked quietly.
“Yeah?” He replied.
“You’re crushing my rib cage.” He chuckled.
“Oh right, sorry.” He crawled off of her and helped her up. She laughed a little and they both made their way back over to the bench.
 
They sat down and stared at each other for awhile. They had so much that they wanted to tell each other but for some reason, they didn’t. They just sat there in silence, holding hands and staring at each other. Heidi couldn’t help but smile like an idiot. She had been waiting for him to come home and now he was finally here.
 
“I love you.” Kevin whispered. Heidi bit her lip and smiled again.
“I love you too.” She watched as Kevin got off of the bench and squatted down in front of her so they were at the same eye level. He gave her hand a light squeeze.
“Heid, I was counting down the days until I saw you again. When I first started out on my trip, I thought that time was going to fly by and I would have you back in my arms in no time.” He let out a sigh. “I was wrong. The days dragged on and I missed you more and more everyday. Every Time something exciting happened, you were the one I wanted to share the experience with but you weren’t there. Chloe was. And I quickly realized that I didn’t want to experience those things with Chloe. I also realized that she isn’t really into the ‘wilderness’ and let me say, that was interesting to watch.” He chuckled a little before going back to what he was saying. “I do have to say that she tried to get back together with me a few times but I ignored her and simply went back to work. She caught the hint after a while and I thought I should just tell you before you get all these crazy questions in your head.”
“Okay...?” Heidi hadn’t thought about that since he got here. She was just focused on him and only him.
“I had to tell you before I got to this next part.” He took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
“Kev? Are you okay?” She was starting to become a little concerned. He nodded.
“I’m fine. Actually I’m more than fine. I’m the luckiest man in the world right now. I know that’s a little cheesy, but it’s true. I have a beautiful woman sitting in front of me who makes me happier than anyone I know. And I lover her for that. I love how you make me feel when I’m with you. I missed that feeling while I was away in Africa and I never want to feel that way again.” Kevin rested one knee on the ground and pulled off his jacket. He draped it over her shoulders and smiled. “You must be freezing.” He smiled and she pulled it close.
“Thank you.” She smiled. “Now what’s the point to all of this you’re rambling on about?” She raised her eyebrows. He chuckled and looked down. He slid his hands in his pocket and looked back up at her.
“What I’m trying to say is that I never want to have to wake up without you by my side again.” He noticed that she was still confused. He chuckled softly again and shook his head to clear his thoughts and figure out what he was going to say. “You know, I got this before I left.” He pulled a small box out of his pocket and stared down at it. “I was always waiting for the right time to give it to you, but I didn’t want to rush it. So I figured that I would wait and see how I felt after two months away from you.” Heidi’s eyes recognized the shape of the box and she felt her heartbeat pick up its pace.
“And?” She croaked. Her throat had gone dry and her palms began to sweat.
“And I realized that my mind hasn’t changed. I still love you with all my heart, but I want to know that you’re mine and always will be.” He took another deep breath and let it out slowly before opening the box and looking up into her eyes. She gasped when she realized what was in the box.
“Kevin...” She stopped herself from talking and looked up from the box and into his eyes.
“Heidi Powell, will you marry me?” He felt his eyes begin to fill with water but he held it back. Her jaw dropped as she stared at the ring and then back at him.
“Yes.” She whispered as her eyes filled with tears.
“Yes?” He asked, unsure if he heard her correctly. She couldn’t help but smile and shake her head.
“Yes!” She said louder and leaped forward, tackling him to the ground again. She took his face in her hands and nodded. “Yes.” She whispered.
“Yes.” He mumbled to himself and smiled before wrapping his arms around her and kissing her softly. He pulled away and took the ring out of the box. He slipped it on her finger and then she kissed him again and they laid there for awhile in each others arms.
 
She said yes.
