| "No." She heard his voice come from all around her. He was using the speakers built into the walls. "OK, okay, lemme think. First night, we had dinner, swam, and......MY PROTECTOR!!" "Very good, Angel." He walked into the room as he spoke. He had a picninc basket in one hand. She ran to him and hugged him. "Baby, I have...." "Sssshhhh not now. You sit down." He led her to the blanket and helped her sit down. He sat the picnic basket beside her. "Now this isn't your regular picnic here. There is no food in here. Just memories, like here, this is a napkin from the club we all went to together. And this is a pressed rose pedal from the night I told you who I was. This is the reciept from the chinese we had to celebrate that day. This is the ring you gave me the first night we...played." He paused to slip it onto his finger. "These is are pictures of the puzzle we did together." He watched a tear fall down her face. "And this..." He pulled out a ring box, "is the ring I want you to wear so the whole world will know you have agreed to marry me. You are my life, Angel. I don't know what I would do without you." He held the ring to her finger and waited for her to agree. She shook her head yes and he slipped it onto her finger. She hugged him as tightly as she could. She pulled back with her arms still on his arms. "Now can I tell you what I've been trying to tell you?" "Yeah, you can tell me anything." "Baby, I'm- we're pregnant." He pulled her into his arms and cried into her hair. "I love you, Angel." "I love you, too." Back to Story Page |
