Surprise visit for Stella (Cath, Stella)

"No luckily, don't think Mac and I are ready for that" damn what did I just say... "I mean he the dad figure and well he has no children, she's like a daughter to him you know" I say and try to cover up what I just said... damn

I laugh and lean closer to her and whisper. "Stella, I know you're secret. You don't have to hide it from ME anymore." I wink at her and turn my gaze from her back again.

"I know but Lindsey and Alex don't have to know" I whisper back and frown

"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me!" I smile. We get to the ice-cream store and I order myself my usual favorite. "Are you sure you don't want one?"

"thanks" I smile and look at you ordering your ice cream "yes I'm sure"

"Ok" When I smile and get my ice-cream we walk back to the street. "Where to now? It's still early and no need to go back to hotel."
"I want to go ice skating, momma!" Lindsey says and looks at us with a questioning smile

"Ice cream and ice skating? nice combo" I look at lindsey and smile

"I guess we can can go but maybe we should wait till Eleni is with us too." I tell Lindsey and smile. "Are you going to pick her up or does she have some kind of after school activities?" I turn back to you. "Call her and say you have a surprise for her."

"sounds like a great plan to me, yes i'm going to pick her up from school, I have to leave in about 10 minutes, shall we meet at the place where we can rent the skates?"

"That would be great" I smile and eat some more of the ice-cream. "Have to skate off the extra calories I'm gaining from this desert" laughs

haha I'm not sure if I can still skate, haven't been on the ice for years

"I know what you mean. I need to be extra careful cause.. I'm getting old and old peoples bones don't heal that fast." I reply with a laugh. "I'm sure Alex will keep me up, right hon?" I look at him and he says he won't skate but would enjoy the picture seeing us skating.

and because of the baby cath, but i'm not gonna say that out loud lol "right the bones!" laughs

I laugh and think about how to tell Lindsey the news. She was excited if it would've been Stella's kid but maybe its different with me and Alex. Lindsey is soo much older and maybe it's too weird for her. I have to tell her soon, before I start showing any signs about it.
"We'll walk you back to your car and meet you at rink, ok?" I reply to Stella with a smile

"Yep we'll see you there, I guess we'll be back in 30 minutes with luck" I smile and wave bye before I hurry to my car to pick up Eleni from school

"See you there, Stella" I smile and wave at her with smile. It's nice she has weekend off just like a blessing for me on the same week we came to New York.

I drive to Eleni's school to pick her up, I don't have to wait too long luckily. Eleni gets in the car and I tell her what we are going to do only not yet with who. We quickly drive to where Cath, Alex and Lindsey are

We have finnaly arrvived to the Central Parks skating rink and got out skates when I see Stella and Eleni coming towards us. I nudge Lindsey and she looks over at them and yells and waves "Eleniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"

"Lindsey!!!!!!" Eleni yells and runs up to her. I guess she's happy to see her

I laugh and wave to Eleni aswell. "Hey Eleni. It's nice to see you again" I walk to her and give her a hug. "Hows school? Any boyfriends? "

"Cath! don't give her ideas!" I grin and smile at Eleni who hugs her aunt back. "school is going fine" She replies

I let Eleni go and laugh. "She is old enough to have one but I'm glad the school is still priority. It better be like that for you too Lindsey!" I smile and she rolls her eyes pulling Eleni towards the benches to changer her shoes for skates. "I got you the skates too Stell" I grin and hand her the skates. "This is gonna be fun"

I take the skates and smile"Thanks and yes it will be fun when I end up in the hospital" I laugh and sit down on the bench as well. "I really home we won't break a leg" I grin and put my skates on. Eleni and Lindsey are already done with their skates and walk to the skating ring

I laugh and see that Alex is done with his skates as well. "We're gonna lean on him. When we fall he's keeping us up"

"Are you sure? i mean did he ever skate? If we lean on him we all fall down" I grin and change my heels for the skates
