"Babe, I am so sorry about this morning. Your Mother just took me by surprise. I couldn't stand there and let her belittle you. I can't understand how she could possibly insult you as she did. I just had to put her in her place. I can't tolerate anyone abusing you like that not even your mother. You are so loving, kind, generous, trusting, giving, smart and intuitive I can't think of enough adjectives to describe what you are to me" "Ranger, don't worry I was mad at the time that you felt I couldn't fight my own battle. Now I'm glad you did. If I'd taken care of it there would have been a lot of tears, screaming and throwing things. When it was over nothing would have been settled. You took care of it and you took care of me." - AW!
EW, Ranger's family worse than Helen Plum. I never thought anybody COULD BE worse than her.

"Ranger called Ella for dinner. Ranger had grilled chicken breast with vegetable over whole wheat pasta; mine was chicken Alfredo with extra cheese, YUM. For desert there was walnut layer cake with whipped cream icing and crème anglaise. Ranger shook his head when I offered him a bite. We enjoyed our meal in silence except for my moaning with almost every bite. I looked at Ranger as he subtly repositioned himself, his eyes were dark as obsidian and his lip twitched up. I could see exactly what he was thinking. "I concur Batman, shall we retire to bedroom." In a flash he was out of his chair and had me in his arms on the way to bed." - Yum!
"You know my mother can be very unkind and I am afraid of what she may say to you." "No problem Babe, I am almost immune to the unkind things people say about me, my men are too. We have spent most of our lives being called thugs and murderers and worse. The "gentle" people of the world never have much use for us until they call for assistance, then we are expected to be there to save them. Then silently crawl off not to be seen until the next time we are needed. You have shown us all that is not the way you feel. You look at all of us and see we are men; you trust us, laugh with us and have made us a family. Steph, we all want you in our family. I want to build a family with you. If your blood relatives can't see you for the fantastic woman you are and accept you, that's their loss. I don't intend to stand by and let your spirit be broken by put downs and insults." - Yay! for Ranger's intentions about that miserable bint of a mother of Stephanie's.
"We'll go to your parent's house first. Then to Mary Lou's. Then the bonds office. Then after lunch we will go to my family. Anyone who wants to, will be welcome in our life and home. Those who don't, we don't need them. We have a family and each other either way." - Yay!
"I won't force you but I want to be there by your side, no one is going to hurt my Babe!" - Yay!
"Let me put on my big girl panties and get dressed." "I have to make a couple of phone calls and change clothes. I hope those big girl panties have lace," Ranger said with a big wolf grin that had me giggling again." - Hehehe.
"he came out of the dressing room in faded blue jeans and a dark blue t-shirt and windbreaker. I looked up at him and licked my lips. YUM! "Thought I wouldn't start the day a Bad Ass, who knows what will come before it is over." He gave me a smirk, a quick kiss and strapped on his ankle holster, he already had on his shoulder holster and a gun in his waistband." - Hehehe.
"Almost before the door was closed Ellen started. What will the neighbors think, you walking in with this thug? I would think you would show some respect in my home. How will I look anyone in the eye? You are such an embarrassment. At the last statement Ranger pulled me to his side," Mrs. Plum I would thank you not to belittle and verbally abuse my fiancée." Mother gasped and turned pale. "We came here this morning to apprise you of the fact that we are engaged, and plan to marry in near future. We are very much in love and committed to each other. If you can be happy for us you will be invited to the wedding, if not this will most likely be the last time we speak." Ranger was very formal and businesslike but I could feel the anger radiating from him. I thought I might see steam coming from his ears. Mother huffed and fumed and my father came forward, hugged me shook Rangers hand and congratulated both of us. "Make my daughter happy son." They both smiled as my mother screamed "how can you condone this Frank he is a thug and a murderer, Joseph told me so." Dad turned to her "Shut up Helen, enough is enough. My little girl has a right to be happy and Ranger seems to be the man to do that."Mother just sat with her mouth open and her eyes wide. I wondered how many years it had been since dad had talked back to her. "Joe has been very effective at feeding you bits of information to keep you on his side. He is very self- serving in that way. He has been very free with his comments about Ranger, but now that I think about it, I have never heard Ranger say a bad word about Joe. Why do you think that is so? Do you think Joe's perfection includes his drinking, cheating on and verbally abusing our daughter? I think it is because Ranger is a better man. He wants Steph to love him for him, not because he was able to belittle Joe." - Frank Plum actually has backbone. Who knew?
"I was a little angry that Ranger had done all the talking but I didn't say anything because he had done a much better job than I would have. There was no screaming, or throwing things, or tears. My mother was shocked speechless, now the ball was in her court." - Yay!

"Mom wanted her just to be 'Burg just like her. Never experiencing anything exciting or unusual, just waiting at home for Joe. She supposed she knew her mother loved her but she sure didn't understand her. That was one of the reasons Steph didn't go to dinner at her parents' more than once a month. She knew the lecture by heart and was too tired to listen any more." - I do not blame Stephanie for only going to her parents' once a month.
"After all no one can make you feel inferior without your consent, and she was tired of giving her consent to Joe and her mother. She was an adult and she had a right to her own choices. She had a right to her own life not a carbon copy of her mothers." - Yay!

Loved this story!
Would love to see a honeymoone sequel, what trouble and Lula and Stephanie get into, where are they going and what happens to the MM while Ranger and Tank are gone?
It would be an exciting story!

Great story, but this wasn't really an ending...you have to make some sort of conclusion. I re-read it all today, it's good. Thank you, I've enjoyed it.
