Cassie smiles and kisses her nose when Karoliena speaks to her. "I love you too. More than I could ever tell you," she says with a twinkle in her eye that only her family could ever bring out in her. Cassie was deeply in love with Karoliena, and she had been for some time now, so even though she was nervous right now, she was sort of glad she would get the chance to meet her girlfriend's family, even if she couldn't say that. "Jody and I will kick her hard for you, I promise. Right in the tits." She laughs out loud.

She smiles as she watches the two converse about Belgium, Jody listening intently to everything Karoliena says and nodding along. She turns to the twins. "Come on guys. I think these two are deep in conversation for a while," she giggles before walking towards the door of the airport, pushing the twins in their pushchair and dragging a large suitcase behind them. She stops at the car. "Woooooo....sweet ride, hot stuff," she winks.

Cassie laughs and shakes her head when Karoliena says she would love her sisters tits. "There's one key difference though. Her tits aren't attached to the love of my life." she smiles widely. Cassie never thought herself to be soppy, at least not until she met Karoliena and everything changed for the better. She was so in love she could scarcely believe it.

Jodys eyes light up when she hears that Belgium has chocolate. "I love chocolate!" she says in her excitable little voice, making Cassie laugh. "We know, Jody. Chocolate is your favourite candy to steal from the store, huh?" she chuckles loudly as Jody climbs into the car, getting more and more independent every day. Cassie smiles as she watches her manage to struggle and buckle herself in. "Mommies, I don't it," she says happily, clapping her hands. Cassie finally manages to buckle the twins in despite all their squirming, and closes the door. "Well I only hope they don't hate us and accept us as your family," Cassie smiles, kissing Karoliena. "And we all know you take care of us. That's all that matters."

"A carrot? Wow that is pretty unimaginative. Although the carrot could serve as a worthy replacement sometimes.....or so I'm told," she laughs. Cassie was only 19, but she acted so much older, given that she had been forced to grow up in the spotlight these past few years. She smiles up at her girlfriend with a sigh. "You too. I've never been so happy in all my life."

Jody looks at her second mother and laughs heartily at the idea of being covered in chocolate. Gia looks at her big sister and laughs as well. She was starting to look up to Jody a lot more now that she was getting older. "Dody...chockit," she calls out, laughing, making Cassie look around and chuckle. "Are you trying to speak, little one? You're so clever!" She smiles and looks back at Karoliena again as they start to drive. "She'll always need her mommies. She's such a mommy's girl after all. She loves her Kari," she giggles. "Even if they don't love us, though, I don't want you to worry. It can't be easy for anyone to suddenly be told "hey here's my girlfriend and three kids she has as baggage," Cassie says, half joking. She did sometimes worry that she had forced Karoliena to be a part of the kids' life, even though she knew Kari loved them all. She rests her hand on her thigh as Kari drives. "What about Germans? I thought it was all efficiency and no style?"

Cassie is about to joke around when she hears Karoliena mention taking on her name, and it jolts her away from joking about carrots, or anything else for that matter. She turns towards her girlfriend slowly and looks her up and down, not sure what to make of what she had just said. "My name? What do you mean? Like....what?"

Gia looks at them both when they look back at her and smiles. To her, she had been talking forever, unaware that no one apart from her twin brother Cole had a clue what she was talking about. She waves her hands and looks back at Jody again. "Dody, mommies!" she calls out before laughing, which sends Jody into hysterics. "I've never heard her say anything like that before," Cassie giggles. "I'm so proud of her!" When they turn onto the rural roads, Cassie looks around slowly and nods her head. She was a city girl born and bred, and this looked a little strange to her. "TWINS! TREES!" Jody yells, making Cassie jump. "Fucking hell...kid loves trees," she smirks. Cassie shudders when she hears karoliena's family would set her up with her sister. "Fuck that. I only want one Verlinden, and I already got her."

Cassie nods slowly. She knew that they were meant to be together and she wanted nothing more than to spend her whole life with Karoliena, but she wasn't sure what she was proposing here at all, so she had to make sure. "When you say....you mean what Exactly?" She narrows her eyes a little, keen to not get the wrong end of the stick at all.

"It must have been." Cassie turns back and looks at her again with a smile. "She looks so proud of herself back there. It's just the cutest." in the back, Jody listens to the tale of trees and how her new grandparents own them all. "I want a tree," she says. Given how the puppy debacle had gone, Cassie was worried that they would be paying shipping on a giant redwood back to the USA after this. "We can't take trees back, baby," she tells Jody. "They don't fit on the plane." She takes in her surroundings as they drive, quite amazed by the size of the grounds and then the house when it comes into view. "Shit. And I thought we lived in a nice area," she jokes, quite overawed.

Cassie sits there as she listens to what Karoliena said. It was a definite about turn for her, after Karoliena had said she never wanted to marry when she met Cassie's dad some months before. At that point, Cassie had given up on the idea of the two ever marrying, content to know they would be together forever anyway. "Hmmm," she says as she rests her head on the head rest, nodding slowly and staring ahead silently. She sits like this for a few moments quietly, before all of a sudden she bursts into a scream. She turns to Karoliena with a massive smile on her face. Not caring that she's driving, she leans over and hugs her tight. "Those are the best words I've ever heard in my life. I love you so much," she says through happy tears.

"Wanna tree house," Jody pouts. "Tee house!" Cole pipes up, again causing Cassie to snap her neck around. "Another one? Jesus....they're all speaking now," she giggles. When the car is parked, Cassie smiles and gets out, bouncing around the car to kiss Karoliena before she stops to get the kids out and into their pushchair again. Inside the car, Jody is trying to get out herself, but hasn't got the strength to push the release catch on the buckle. "Mommy I stuck!" she yells out.

She smiles and apologises when Kari reacts by slamming on the brakes full force. "I'm sorry, I was just so happy. I couldn't even hold it in at all," she says with tears in her eyes. "I would never ever shoot you down. You and I have been just perfect together. Well apart from our little fist fight one time" She giggles. "I can't wait to be married to you. I thought you never wanted it, but it will be the best ever. We can be a real official family forever and you can adopt the kids too. It will be the best."

Cassie sighs. "Well alright, but I'm not building it. I may be a lesbian but I ain't that butch," she chuckles. "I know, right? I bet they've been able to speak all this time and then they just held it in to shock us one day." She smiles when Karoliena holds her and kisses her. "I love you too," she smiles, half expecting one of the twins to yell at them to get a room. She watches Karoliena as she goes to help Jody, still amazed at how far the two of them had come in the last few months. She starts to buckle the twins into their seats and ruffles both their hair. "You two are so clever aren't you? Soon you'll be talking just like your big sister Jody." "Dody!" Gia yells, making Cassie laugh as Karoliena and Jody come over.

"The only fire I have is the burning passion for my Belgian beauty in my heart," She giggles with a grin. "Sorry for being all jane Austen but you just happen to have made the most romantic moment of my life," she beams. Cassie was more than happy to be tied to Karoliena forever. Although she had loved Jason and Katie in the past, none of those two could come close to how she really felt about Karoliena. From the first day they met, she knew there was something special there, and so it remained until this day. She smiles and shakes her head. "Marriage doesn't have to end bad. every rule has an exception. And I think we've proved so far that we definitely don't ever play by the rules, Kari. Everything will be perfect. Forever."

"Oh puuhhhhhlease," Cassie jokes. "Honey I already got your tux picked out for the wedding. You'll be the most handsome there," she says with a wink to show that she was definitely only kidding. She smiled as she watched Karoliena kiss everyone. She really did care about them so much, and that made Cassie happier than anything else in the world. She holds Karoliena's hand and tells Jody to take the other, knowing that Jody had the power to calm Karoliena even more than Cassie did. When she rings the bell and lets out an expletive, Cassie narrows her eyes. "Uh.....I'm guessing that didn't mean "oh yay here come my parents to answer the door. What's up, Kari?"

Cassie smiles and laughs aloud. "This is a good point, babe. We all want that Austen romance, huh? I bet when she older Jody will want a different Austin romance. Like a stone cold one...ain't gonna be no man takes advantage of our little LJ." She smiles at Jody, but she did sometimes worry about her kids and how they would get on in the future. "We don't break rules," Cassie says with a smile. "Mommy and mommy set the rules," she chuckles, making sure the kids hear her say it so they know that they have to behave themselves. Cassie smiles and wraps her arms around her girlfriend. To her, it seemed like everything has just this moment clicked into place and it was all going to be perfect for them now. Kari completed her and made her the person she was now.

"Oh god if we turn up one in a tux and one in a moustache I feel like they might think we aren't taking the whole girl girl marriage thing seriously. They might not let us do it," she giggles. Cassie sees Karoliena get wound up but then notices that Jodys little hand squeezing hers was enough to calm her so Cassie looks to pounce on it. "What do you think Jody...you want your mommies to get married?" Jody smiles and nods at her. "I love my mommies," Jody says with a smile as they look through the door. When Karoliena kicks the door, Cassie jumps. "They moved? Well that's just evil as hell. What the fuck?" she says. "Well.....what do we do now?"

"I never thought of that.....I bet Jody could kick the crap out of any man anyway. You've seen that look in her eyes when she gets her colouring book messed up by one of us. God help any man that ever pisses her off," Cassie chuckles. She knew Jody was headstrong and probably would turn up to be like a carbon copy of Cassie, everyone always said they were alike, but she still worried a lot that she and Gia would get hurt by guys down the line, and it killed her to think of them ever being sad or even worse, injured. "Karoliena Summers," she says with a big beaming smile as they huddle closer. "I love the sound of that. It makes you sound so.....mine." Cassie sticks her tongue out and smiles. As much as she was joking, the idea of her legally having Karoliena was already amazing no matter how far away the wedding might be.

"If we're going with mutton chops, I think I'm gonna need me a top hat as well. Just call me Cass The Ripper," she smirks. Cassie looks down and strokes Jody's hair when she tells them she loves them. "We love you, Jody, and everyone will love each other forever. It will be so nice when mommy and mommy are married. Mommy will have the same name as we do," she says with a smile. Jody gets confused and looks up. "You will be called Jody?" she asks Karoliena. Cassie watches again as Kari paces around the front of her house. She got the idea now that her girlfriend had been set up by her parents as some sort of sick prank, and suddenly she wanted to hit everyone called Verlinden who wasn't Karoliena. "Sons of bitches," she mumbles. "Bitches!" Jody repeats, making Cassie turn red. "Oh....no no LJ, we don't say that word. Mommy is bad...she said it by mistake." She looks up at Karoliena when she starts talking about the state of the house, and Cassie wraps her arms around her from behind, resting her head on her shoulder. "Screw them, babe. If they don't want to see their daughter....and meet Jody, then it's their loss forever." She kisses her shoulder and sighs, chuckling at the arson idea. "If it was just you and I....I'd say let's burn this fucker down," she whispers. "But how about we go in and let Jody see her new coloring book? Those walls look bare of any crayon," she winks.
