All I wanted.

Sebastian smiled when he came back with the dress and shoes, "Rosie's right Iz, you'll look even more amazing than Rapunzel herself" he grinned. Taking a seat as the little girl got up once Rosie finished her hair and ran to the bathroom with her dress. Sebastian looked over at Rosie smiling softly, he reached out and touched her face, "thank you, for all of this. She really enjoys being around you.."

---

Stacy chuckled, "all right. Well, if you can change my mind I'll considerate it." She turned to face him, "relationships aren't supposed to be easy but once you're comfortable it's smooth sailing and they can be the best thing.. To each their own I guess." Stacy laughed and kissed his cheek, "Taylor, that's his name. I'll be back later!" She waved before walking out. Of course two and a half hours later she was back. Annoyed. Stacy opened her door and walked in taking off her heels. "You're still here?"

Rosie looked to Sebastian, smiling at his words. "You don't need to thank me." She told him quietly. Izzy was one of the sweetest little girls she'd ever met, and she certainly didn't mind spending time with her. In fact, she enjoyed it quite a bit. "I enjoy being around her too, and I don't mind being around her father either...he's not so bad..." Her tone was light and teasing.

---

"You've been saying that since the day we first met." Chris pointed out, chuckling softly. "It just seems like too much work for my liking, and way too much frustration too. No thank you." He chuckled once more. He was kind of surprised when she kissed his cheek, though he certainly didn't mind it. He ended up sticking around her apartment, he didn't have much of anything else to do anyway. "Yeah, your mother called, wanted to know if you had a date for your sister's wedding or not. How was your date with what's his face?"

Sebastian ran a hand through his hair, "I want to, you've made izzy really happy and that makes me happy" he leaned over and kissed her softly. Grinning at her next words, "I'm fairly decent I think" moments later Izzy came dancing into the room. "I feel pretty! Daddy am I pretty? " Sebastian stood up and picked Izzy up "the prettiest girl in all the lands!" He grinned twirling her around.

---

Stacy hsd a long night she threw her shoes to the side, "oh? Shit. I forgot about that. Ugh" she mumbled. Stacy walked over and sat next to Chris "awful guy was a complete asshole. I paid for my own dinner and he made comments about my cleavage and how I should have worn a shorter dress for a quickie. Well. .. I dumped my wine all over him and walked home. I just can't handle this. What have you been doing? "

Rosie smiled, kissing him back softly. "Well, you're welcome. I'm glad that you and Izzy are both happy." She said quietly, and she meant that too. She was glad that she was able to make both of them happy. "Hm, yeah, I guess so." She teased lightly, laughing quietly. She glanced over, smiling when Izzy came back into the room. "You look like a princess, Iz!"

---

Chris raised an eyebrow. "If it helps, she asked who I was, and I told her that I was going to be your date." He told her. He wondered how she would take that, and if she'd be pissed that he said that. "I told you, these guys are your exes for a reason. There are plenty of other fish in the sea."

Sebastian smiled, "you're very beautiful" he told Rosie. Sebastian twirled his daughter a few more times before setting her down and taking pictures. "Ice cream?" She asked excitedly. "All right we can go make those sundaes now" he said following both into the kitchen.

---

Stacy looked at Chris and sighed, "yeah, thanks I can't show up without a date... my sister doesn't want me to hook up with the best man. Basically she thinks I'm a slut. I wouldn't sleep with him anyway he's gross." Stacy sighed falling back on the bed. "I know. .. I guess I'll be single for awhile. " she sat up. "Unzip me?"

Rosie smiled. "And you're sweet." She told him. She watched as he twirled Izzy around. The sight was certainly an adorable one. "What flavor would you like, Iz?" She asked the little girl curiously, a small smile gracing her lips as she looked over to her.

---

Chris nodded. "I figured as much...about the not being able to show up without a date, not the slut part." He told her. "I wouldn't say that. Just because things don't work out with your exes, doesn't mean they won't work out with anyone else." He nodded, helping unzip her dress.

@Sebastian smiled "well, I try" he watched his daughter looked at the flavors "all of them!" She giggled. Sebastian laughed "just one Iz" she tapped her chin with her finger as in deep in thought. "Chocolate! " Sebastian chuckled "its always chocolate. .. I will have strawberry" he smiled walking over and grabbing some bowls.

---

Stacy sighed, "I'll look desperate i guess i kind of am since I'm going on dates with exes" Stacy grabbed her pajamas and changed in her closet. "I don't know I've been single for five years now. It's not gonna happen. I've accepted that and well, I'm done. I give up. I'll bury myseld in work. Maybe I'll start dating girls who knows. "

Rosie laughed quietly. "Alright, chocolate it is." She said. She opened the containers of ice cream, waiting for Sebastian to return with some bowls so that she could dish some out. "What toppings did you want on yours, Izzy?" She asked her curiously.

---

"You already know that I thought tracking down your exes was a bad idea, so I won't mention it to you again." Chris told her. "Five years is nothing. You've still got the rest of your life ahead of you. Just because your sister's getting married doesn't mean that you have to, but burying yourself in work isn't the answer either. I don't think so anyway."

Sebastian handed Rosie the bowls and turned around to get three spoons. Izzy looked at all the all the toppings and grinned "peanuts , chocolate sprinkles, umm brownie pieces, whipped cream and hot fudge!" She grinned showing all her pearly white teeth. Sebastian chuckled, "takes after her father, oh don't forget the cherry on top!l

---

Stacy looked at Chris, "yeah.. But last I checked this is what I chose to do, don't need to lecture me." She sat on her bed after dressing, "five years to a guy is nothing. I'm single because I choose not to throw myself at men. I want to get married and have kids and I realized that maybe I'm not meant for that lifestyle. Well what do you suggests then? "

Rosie started dishing out the ice cream into each of the bowls. "You got it, kiddo." She told Rosie, a smile on her face. She glanced over to Sebastian, the smile still on her face. "I'm assuming you want all of that on yours too?" She asked him curiously. She'd begun to realize that she was at her happiest when she was around Sebastian and Izzy. She just really liked spending time with both of them, and she knew that things with Sebastian were starting to get serious.

---

Chris held his hands up in defense. "I wasn't lecturing you. I was just pointing it out." he told her. "And there should be nothing wrong with that. You shouldn't have to throw yourself at men to get a guy. Just because you haven't met someone yet, doesn't mean that you won't. I get that you've been waiting five years, but you need to be patient. Things will happen eventually." He said. "But what do I know? I'm a bachelor who isn't even looking for anything more than some fun." He chuckled.

Sebastian smiled and started to create his own sundae "I do, but you don't have to make r for me." He had realized that being with Rosie made him really happy and izzy just loved her. "Can we watch movies?" He heard his daughter ask chuckled. "Sure thing, izzy whatever my girl wants."

---

Stacy just looked at him, "you're lecturing me though, are you listening to yourself? You sound like.. Like.. My sister and or mother." Stacy got up and started to turn off the lights, "well, I'm going to bed, you can let yourself out and lock the door." She walked into the bathroom and sighed, she finished up washing her face and cleaning up and walked out to her bedroom. Stacy climbed into her bed, "good night."

Rosie smiled. "Alright." She said. She started making her own sundae, taking some chocolate ice cream and some strawberry since she couldn't decide which flavor she wanted. "Why don't you go pick out a movie while I finish make yours and my sundae?" She suggested to Izzy.

---

Chis frowned. "I'm not trying to lecture you about this, Stacy. I'm just giving you advice. You seemed stressed out about this whole thing, you've been stressing out about this ever since I met you actually, and I just figured you could use some advice and maybe someone to talk to. I won't think twice about doing it again though, don't worry." He turned and walked out of her apartment, going back to his.

Izzy looked up and nodded before running to the living room, "I may be getting attached to you as well.. You're trapped you know" he teased. Wrapping his arms around Rosie's waist from behind her, "you're really sweet with my baby, I know I don't have to thank you but you've made us both happy." He kissed the back of Rosie's neck.

---

Stacy sat up and looked up when he walked out, she swallowed hard feeling weird. She huffed and got under her blankets and curled up falling asleep angry. Something that people suggested not to do. The next morning she woke up with a headache. Stacy rubbed her temples and getting dressed getting ready for her run. She guess she wouldn't be seeing Chris anymore, kind of a shame she kind of liked having him around. As a friend.

Rosie let out a quiet laugh in response to his words, smiling when she felt his arms go around her waist. "I'm only trapped if I don't want to be here, and I certainly do want to be here." She continued making hers and Izzy's sundaes. "I'm glad that I have, you both have made me really happy too." She turned around in his arms, wrapping her arms loosely around his neck and smiling.

---

Chris walked back to his own apartment. He was kind of pissed. He hadn't meant much by telling her what he had. He'd just wanted to give her advice, that was it. He wasn't trying to lecture her or anything like that, just giving her advice. Nothing more, nothing less.

Sebastian chuckled, "well, I'm glad you're willing to stay with us then," he looked down at Rosie as she spoke, "I'll have to take you on a romantic dinner soon, my mom is coming down to spend time with Izzy so.. Just us two" he grinned. Sebastian leaned down and kissed her softly,

---

During her morning run Stacy felt guilty for being such a bitch to Chris. She couldn't get it out of her mind so once she ran into him she grabbed his arm. "Hey,. Listen.. I'm sorry for being such a bitch last night.. I just.. I don't take advice very well. As you may have noticed. I do appreciate it though. Please don't be mad" she said with a pout.

Rosie laughed quietly. "You should be. I'm practically a saint for putting up with you in particular." She teased, a slight grin tugging at the corners of her lips. "A romantic dinner, huh? Well, I certainly can't say no to that." Smiling, she kissed him back softly. She really did like Sebastian, and Izzy was absolutely adorable. A lot of women would be hesitant about getting into a relationship with a man who already had a kid, but not Rosie.

---

Chris couldn't help being pretty pissed off about last night. He didn't know why he cared that much, but he did, and there wasn't much there to offer as an explanation either. So, it was probably fairly obvious that he wasn't in the best of moods when he ran into Stacy the next morning. "I was just trying to help, Stacy. I wasn't trying to lecture you. Maybe you don't take advice very well, but that's people trying to help you in most instances. It's what good friends or family members do."

Sebastian let out a soft chuckle, "yeah, you're right. I don't know how you do it." He touched her face, "I knew you had a weakness for romantic dinner dates." He really did enjoy spending time with Rosie and it was nice knowing she loved Izzy. Most women didn't want to stick around too long or Izzy didn't like them. He finished up his sundae, "daddy! Let's watch Tangled!" He smiled "whatever you want baby, guess that's our cue to move it."

---

Stacy sighed softly, "I know and I'm sorry, it dawned on me after you left, I feel awful. I didn't think you'd care that much, I mean you'd have to .. If you're that pissed off." She bit her lip, "I won't lash out like that anymore. Honestly, I only thought you cared about getting in my pants and then never talking to me again, it's nice knowing you care about me. Thanks"

"I'm definitely some kind of saint." Rosie said, letting out a quiet laugh. "I wouldn't necessarily call it a weakness....but I do like them." She smiled. She really did like spending time with Sebastian, and Izzy was absolutely adorable. A few moments later, said little girl could be heard from the living room. She laughed quietly. "I guess so." She pecked him lightly on the lips before grabbing her sundae and Izzy's and walking back to the living room.

---

"If I didn't care, and just wanted in your pants, I would've given up already." Chris told her. "Just because I like sleeping around doesn't mean I automatically can't care about friends or family, Stacy." He was glad that she realized that he was kind of pissed off about how she'd acted the night before.

Sebastian grinned, "beautiful saint at that. Hmm.. I'll plan something special for the both of us." Sebastian grabbed some spoons and tons of napkins before walking towards the living room. He smiled as he watched his daughter wave happily. "Okay, we have your sundae right here."

---

Stacy looked at him, "that's true, and I'm sorry I made such awful assumptions." Stacy wiped some sweat from her face, "did.. You.. I mean let me make it up to you.. Take you out tonight we'll go drinking to something."

Rosie smiled. "You're just full of compliments tonight, aren't you? I'm looking forward to it though, honestly." She took a seat on the couch next to Izzy and smiled. "For the princess." She handed Izzy her sundae with a smile.

---

Chris nodded. "It's alright...just pissed me off." He said before shaking his head in response to her later words. "You don't have to do that...it really isn't necessary." He told her. He wasn't going to make it seem like she had to make it up to him or anything like that.
