The Future as we know it
Chapter 1: 3 times the charm
Part I
ZPOV
"I'm going to propose to Cammie soon." I told Jonas and Grant.
"About time Zach!" Grant said slapping my back.
I rolled my eyes and smirked.
"Zach I can't believe I'm saying this but Grant's right." Jonas said.
"Well Mr. Know-it-all, you proposed to Liz just last week!!" I retorted.
Jonas looked away blushing and Grant laughed. I just smirked.
* * *
I decided I would propose to Cammie in a special way. Since today was her 23rd birthday I would give it to her as a present. I took a box and covered it with green and blue wrapping paper. I then placed a small, velvet box, with the ring, inside the larger box. Next to the smaller box I placed a packet of peanut M&Ms. As soon as I finished, my internal clock chimed 6:00pm and the doorbell rang.
I opened the door to see Cammie in a bright red sundress and red flats. Her hair was as beautiful as ever, even though it was down.
"Hey Gallagher Girl." I smirked.
"Hey Blackthorne Boy." She smiled her cute smile.
"You know it only works when I do it." I joked.
She rolled her eyes.
"Follow me; I have a present for you." I said as I lead her into the living room.
We sat down on either side of her "present". As she was about to lift up the lid of the box, the phone rang.
"I'll get it!" Cammie said. She put the phone on speaker. "Hello?"
"Cammie..! Zach..! Help..! Bex..! Labor..! Now..!" Grant yelled, he sounded out of breath.
Cammie and I had to strain our ears, but we could hear Bex from the apartment building next door.
"Cammie, get your bloody butt over here now!!" Bex screamed into the phone, her accent pouring out. "Call Macey!"
Cammie dropped the phone and we raced out of the apartment, without even bothering to turn the phone off.
I heard Grant faintly say, "Guys?" into the phone.
When we arrived, Liz and Jonas were already there. Both Jonas and Grant looked like they were going to puke. Cammie just called Macey and she was on her way.
"Why didn't you guys go to the hospital?" I asked, curious as to why Bex was having a home birth.
"Well… Let's just say the Lamborghini is getting some 'modifications'." Grant said nervously.
"You mean lasers, bombproof shields and stuff like that?" Jonas asked.
"No, it's getting more cup holders for my coffee." Grant said smugly.
"Liz, be a dear and smack my husband please?" Bex asked between breaths.
Liz hit Grant on the back of the head.
"What! Cup holders are very useful!" Grant said while rubbing the back of his head where Liz had hit him.
"Um. Guys? I could use some help over here!" Cammie said from beside Bex.
We all ran to help. Macey ran into the room and behind her was Preston with some towels.
Part II
ZPOV
After Cammie forgot to open my present for her the day Bex gave birth to her first child, Patricia Cameron Newman, I had to think of another way to propose to Cammie. I decided on proposing to her by leaving it in the fridge next to her favorite food: peanut M&Ms. (She told me that it was her favorite food since the day we met in D.C.)
I would spell out "Look Inside" with magnets, and when she opened it the FAKE ring would be inside (I would never put the real one in a fridge!).
My plan was set up perfectly and I went to the gym with Grant and Jonas so that Cammie would find the ring.
CPOV
After I took a shower, Zach told me that he would go to the gym. This was the perfect opportunity to get Zach a new refrigerator. I went to the appliance store and told them I needed a fridge within two hours. They didn't like that, at all, but the brand new fridge arrived unharmed and on time. They refused to take the old one so I called Preston to help me take it to the dump. It was really funny watching him try to pull the fridge out the door.
When we finally got the fridge outside I left it at the end of the driveway to be picked up by the garbage truck.
When Zach came back he saw the new fridge and I swear, his jaw hit the tile, kitchen floor.
"What happened to my fridge?!" Zach yelled.
"I threw it away and bought you a new one!" I exclaimed.
ZPOV
I stared at Cammie and then to the new fridge in astonishment. My proposal to Cammie didn't work AGAIN.
"You okay Zach?" Cammie asked me.
I put on my poker face and nodded. "Yeah I'm fine. I was just surprised to see how much you care for me." Or how much you hate me for not letting me propose to you. I thought.
I had enough. I'm just going to propose to her now.
"I can't take it anymore! Stay!" I yelled at Cammie as I ran to our room. I grabbed the box and ran to the living room.
"Zach, are you okay!? Are you nuts? What's going on?" Cammie asked frantically.
I got down on one knee and held out the box which revealed the ring.
"Cammie, will you please marry me?!" I said, stressing on the "please".
She looked at me first with her scared eyes and then she started to cry.
I looked at her, and even though I am an AMAZING spy, I was caught by surprise.
"Cammie, oh no please don't cry. Its okay, you don't have to marry me." I said trying to comfort Cammie.
"No… Wait… Stop…" She said in between sobs. "Y… YES!" She screamed.
I took out the ring and placed it gently onto her finger. I kissed her gently and we just stood there hugging for 6minutes and 43 seconds.
"Ohmigod! I have to call everyone! My mom's gonna be thrilled!" Cammie said as she went to the phone. Finally, I was engaged to the most amazing girl on the planet! Even though I thought she was going to say no…
