Chapter 1

Victoria couldn't help the tears pouring out of her eyes. She finally stopped shaking Eric, and buried her face in her hands. Vivian rubbed her daughter's back to comfort her. Suddenly they heard a groan of pain. Victoria looked up and saw Eric moving. He opened his eyes slowly, and looked at Victoria and Christina who were crying.

"Geez, a guy goes unconscious for a minute and people go psycho." Eric said trying to lighten the mood. Victoria scooped him in a big hug, still crying. Now, she was crying out of joy that he was alive and not dead. He returned her hug, and broke apart. He looked at her and smiled. He wiped away her tears with his thumb, and held her face in his hands. "I came as soon as I got your message."

"Yes." Victoria managed to croak.

"What?"

Victoria looked into Eric's eyes and smiled.

"Yes."

Eric looked down and saw the ring on her ring finger, and his face lit up.

"Yes?" he shouted with joy.

"Yes, yes, yes! Do I need to say it again?" Victoria laughed. Eric gave her a huge kiss. It was full of joy, happiness, love, and passion. It made Victoria's insides turn to mush. When they broke apart, Christina gave Eric a tight hug.

"My baby boy! Alive…and engaged." She said squeezing out all her joy.

"Mom…I can't breathe."

"Sorry." She said as she let go. Gabriel showed up out of breath.

"Did you catch him?" Vivian asked standing up now. Gabriel shook his head slowly. Gabriel looked to Eric.

"You ok?"

"Yeah. I was just unconscious for a minute." Eric replied containing his new found excitement. Victoria held his hand and gave him a smile of relief. Eric stood up, helping Victoria up. Christina joined them. Gabriel turned to Victoria and grabbed her into a hug.

"Thank god you're ok." Gabriel said close to tears. He broke apart, and looked at her sternly. "How could you do something like this? We told you not to go by the river."

"I'm sorry, dad."

"Its ok."

He grabbed her into another hug.

"We have to go warn the rest of the pack." Gabriel said. Vivian nodded, and Gabriel took off. Victoria turned back to Eric and smiled. Eric returned the smile. She took his hand, and they held hands all the way home. They all sat around on the couch. Victoria laid her head on his shoulder. Suddenly, the door opened and Willem, Ulf, and Gregory walked in. Damien, Jake, Ralph and Robert all came down the stairs.

"We heard what happened!" Willem said.

"You guys ok?" Ulf asked.

The three ladies nodded, and Eric.

"Um, actually I have an announcement to make." Vivian said. She looked at Victoria and smiled. Victoria gave her a slight nod. "Its good news, great news…Eric and Victoria are…engaged."

Everyone turned to the couple and smiled.

"Congratulations!" everyone shouted.

"But don't tell Gabriel or Peter, they would freak!" Victoria said.

"I don't want to think about what Peter, or worse, your dad would do to me." Eric said with a scared expression.

"And make sure you don't tell Finn. He can not keep a secret!" Christina added.

"So is everyone clear, not to mention that me and Eric are engaged around-"

"YOU'RE ENGAGED?"

Everyone turned to the door to see Finn. Victoria smacked her forehead.

"Shit." She said under her breath. "We're screwed."

"You screwed too?" he asked with a smirk.

"No!" Victoria shouted.

"So you didn't screw."

"Yes."

"But you're engaged?"

"Yeah." Eric replied.

"Alright son! I knew you could land a Gandillon!" Finn shouted giving Eric a high five.

"But you can't let Peter or Gabriel know anything." Vivian said.

"Your secret is safe with me." Finn said in a seductive tone.

"Get your running shoes on, Eric." Victoria said. He chuckled and gave her a light kiss. Peter and Gabriel walked in the door. Out of instinct, Eric screamed. The two of them looked at him with confusion.

"Sorry." He said.

"Well, the best advice I can give anyone is to be careful. And that any idea Finn has is a stupid one." Gabriel said.

"Hey. I resent that!" Finn said.

"Its ok baby. We know you do." Christina said rubbing his shoulder.

Luckily, the rest of the night Finn didn't say a word about the engagement. Finn, Christina, Eric, and the Four decided to sleep over for the night. They didn't want to go home alone, and thought it was best to stay together for the night. Although it was a rule Eric had to stay downstairs, and away from Victoria's bedroom. Around two in the morning, Eric snuck upstairs.

Victoria heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" she whispered.

"Who else?" Eric whispered back. Victoria got up, and opened the door. Eric gave her a hug and a kiss as she closed the bedroom door behind him. He kissed her until they reached the bed.

"What was that for?" Victoria asked grinning.

"Just a little treat for my fiancé." He said happily. They both lied on the bed and cuddled. They talked about plans for the wedding. They both decided to wait a couple years, when they're out of high school. After talking for a few minutes, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.

"OH MY GOD!"

Victoria and Eric opened their eyes and saw Peter standing in the room. Eric knew he was in for it.

"Shit!" he said. He quickly ran off the bed and was chased out of the room. Victoria rolled her eyes and closed her curtains. The sun was glaring through the window. It was morning.

Victoria quickly got up and got to her closet. She put on a black and red plaid skirt, with a matching red top, and black sneakers. She brushed her hair and raced downstairs.

"You look hot." Eric said as he stopped running. Victoria smiled. Eric looked over his shoulder and saw Peter. "Oh shit!" Eric took off running again.

"Well I got to go to work." Finn said by the door.

"Later, and good riddance." Gabriel said. Christina gave him a peck, and he walked out the door.

"When Peter stops chasing Eric, I'll be off to school." Victoria said.

"Peter, let the boy go."

"Thanks Mr. G." Eric said.

"But you can finish him off afterwards."

"My pleasure." Peter said.

"Have a nice day, kids." Gabriel said.

"Do we have to tell your dad we're getting married?" Eric whispered as they walked out the front door. Victoria giggled, and was glad everything and everyone was ok.
