I own nothing. Please review. A new story I am working on. Tell me what you think! :)

Twenty-five year old Andrea Michaels sat on the deck of her uncle's house and watched as her two younger cousins play with her younger sister Abigail. Andrea was the oldest of all of her cousins and siblings, and they all looked up to her.

"Andi! Get in here!" Sig Hansen, her uncle, yelled to her.

Andi stood up and walked inside the house to see Sig, Edgar, and Norman sitting on the couch watching the Seattle Seahawk game.

"What?" She asked, walking up to them.

"We need beer refills." He said, holding up his empty beer bottle.

"You did not call me in here to be your beer bitch." She said, dumbfounded.

"And why not?" Edgar asked, smiling.

Andi walked over to the refrigerator and started to shake up a bottle of beer to hand to one of her uncles, but her aunt June walked around the corner.

"Don't even think about giving that to them in this house." June said to her, smiling.

Andi groaned, putting the bottle of beer back in the back of the refrigerator. She took out four bottles of beer, and then headed over to the couch and sat next to Norman.

"Thanks darlin'." He said, taking one of the bottles.

"You all are lazy." Andi said, opening her own bottle.

"We don't get to watch the game often. We're not going to miss it." Edgar said, taking his own bottle from his niece.

"You could have asked nicely." Andi added, taking a swig of her beer.

"Where is that boyfriend of yours?" Edgar asked, changing the subject.

"I don't know. He should be here soon." She said, glancing at the time. "He had his own family thing this morning."

"Why didn't you go with him?"

"Because I didn't want to impose on his family breakfast. Plus, they went to church, and I don't go to church." Andi never did like going to church. That didn't mean she didn't believe in God, because she did. She just never understood going to a mass service once a week to show that she believed in God.

"Sig! Start the grill!" June yelled.

Sig groaned, getting up from his seat to go out to start the grill. They were making cheeseburgers for their Sunday lunch. The whole family tried to get together every Sunday when they were not out fishing, and they had all just returned home from the Behring Sea just a few days prior. Andi's mother, Susan, never did like her choice in careers, but Andi lived to be out on the boat. She had to fight her way to let her uncle's join them in the crab season, and they had yet to regret bringing her out with them four years prior. She never let a chance go by to be on the boat.

Looking at Andi, nobody would think that she was a crab fisherman. She was 5'2", 110 pounds, and was tiny in size. She had long blond hair that had dark black streaks throughout it. If the boat wasn't on the show, The Deadliest Catch, she would never convince anyone that she was, indeed, a fisherman. She had actually met her boyfriend, Blake Painter, up in Dutch Harbor. He was a crewman on the boat The Maverick, and they had been together for over two years. She never thought she would date a fisherman, but when she met him, he swept her off her feet. They had been together ever since.

Andi felt someone kiss her cheek, and she turned her head to see Blake standing there.

"Hey, you're here." She said, smiling at him.

"Yeah. Into the game, I see?" He asked, going to sit next to her.

"You know me. Go Seahawks." She said.

Blake laughed, putting his arm around her.

"How was your morning?" Sig asked, taking his seat back.

"It was nice. Relaxing."

Andi watched as Edgar lean over to say something in Blake's ear, and then him nod. She looked over at him, but he tried to ignore her.

"What?" He asked.

"What was that all about?" She asked, smiling at him.

"Don't know what you're talking about." He said, watching the TV.

"Uh huh." She said, still eying him. He just responded by kissing her on the forehead, and then went back to watching the game.

"Blake, would you like a beer?" Susan asked.

"Sure." He said, turning around. Susan handed him a bottle of beer, smiling.

Lunch was ready about thirty minutes later, and everyone sat outside to eat, much to the guys' dismay, since the game was still on. June wouldn't have it any other way.

"So, how was your king crab season?" Susan asked Blake.

"It went pretty well. It was long, but we got through it." Blake said, eating a spoonful of potato salad. "Can't wait until we go out again though."

"You sound like these guys." Linda, Edgar's wife, said.

"It's a fisherman's life." Sig said, smiling.

Andi just smiled, her left hand resting on Blake's leg. The only thing she hated about fishing was not being able to see him, but they both loved their jobs, and she didn't see either of them leaving it. Everyone ate, chatting about what was going on in everyone's lives since they had been gone fishing. Abigail, who was five, was in her first year of kindergarten, which was a huge deal to her.

Andi's parents were divorced, however, her mom remarried her current husband, Dave, who was in advertising, and was out of town at that time for another road trip. Andi had two siblings, her younger brother, Alex, who was eighteen, and Abigail. Alex had the same father as her, whose name was James. He lived in Reno, Nevada, but came to Seattle often to see Alex and herself as much as he could. Her parents had split on good terms, just fell out of love. They still considered themselves friends after everything, which made things easy on Alex and Andi.
"So, Andi, what dessert did you bring today?" Sig asked after everyone had finished eating.

"What makes you think I brought something?" She asked with a smile.

"You always bring dessert."

Andi was a great baker. She couldn't make a meal to save her life, but when it came to desserts, she was an expert.

"I brought nothing special." She said. "No time. I just brought over a chocolate cake."

"Chocolate!" Abigail yelled, clapping her hands.

"Mom, want to help me dish it out?" Andi asked, standing up.

"No, you sit. I'll do it." Blake said, standing up. "You baked it, it's the least I could do."

Andi gave him a weird look, but sat down anyway. She looked over at June, who just shrugged her shoulders.

"He's being a little too helpful lately." Andi said to nobody in particular.

"Has he? Never would have noticed." Linda said.

"Something is up, and I don't know what it is." Andi said, looking around the table.

Nobody said anything, just shrugged their shoulders.

Blake returned with the chocolate cake and a stack of plates and plastic forks. He then started to cut the cake up into pieces, and then handed them out to everyone.

"Thank you." Andi said when he sat next to her, handing her a plate.

He responded by kissing her, then going to eat his cake.

Andi took a bite out of her cake, and watched everyone. She could tell something was going on, and that she was one of the only ones who didn't know what exactly it was about. Everyone kept looking over at her, and she didn't know why. The smiles that she kept getting made her feel uncomfortable, because she never usually had that much attention on her.
"Blake, what's going on?" She said to him quietly.

"What do you mean?" He asked, glancing over at her.

"Seriously. I can tell something is up, and nobody is telling me."

Blake just smiled.

"Don't worry about it, okay? It's nothing."

Andi took another bite out of her cake, noticing that everyone was staring at her again. She chewed the piece slowly, swallowing it.

"Do I have something on my face or something?" She asked him again quietly.

He looked over at her, and smiled.

"Nope. You look fine." He said.

Andi took another bite of her cake, and again, everyone was eying her.

"Am I eating this funny or something?" She asked him again.

He laughed.

"You're paranoid over nothing."

Andi took a drink of her beer, watching as everyone ate and talked amongst themselves. She kept eating her cake, extremely paranoid by her family. She tried to dismiss the thought of them all watching her, but they didn't help any.

Andi was about to finish her piece of cake when she bit into something. It was hard, definitely something that was not supposed to be in her cake. She made a face, and then spit it out into her hand to reveal a ring. Immediately she could feel her adrenalin run, and that's when she noticed that Blake wasn't sitting anymore, but was actually on his knee next to her. Her mouth dropped open when she realized what was going on.

"Andi, you are the most amazing girl I have ever met in my life. The fact that you chose to be with me, of every man out there, just goes to show how lucky of a guy I really am. Will you please make me the happiest guy in the world and marry me?" He asked.

Andi had her hand covering her mouth at that point, and she could feel tears stinging her eyes.

"Yes." She said, smiling. She pulled Blake in for a kiss, tears falling from her eyes.

Blake took the ring from Andi's hand and put it on her ring finger. She just stared at it, hardly believing what was going on.

"I knew something was going on!" She cried out, laughing through her tears.

"You need to just relax next time you have that feeling." Edgar said, laughing.

"I can't believe you all knew about this."

"You think I could ask you this and not get your uncles' permission?" Blake asked, laughing, holding her hand.

"Very true. They would have killed you."

"Ain't that the truth." Norman said, laughing.

"You guys almost ruined everything though. She was completely freaking out over here." Blake said, laughing.

"I swear I thought something was on my face or something. You guys can't keep secrets very well." Andi said, laughing.

"Let me see it." Nina said, smiling. Andi reached her left hand over the table so her cousin could take a better look at it.

"Congratulations you two." Sig said, holding up his beer glass.

Everyone at the table raised their glass to cheers to the happy occasion. Andi was on cloud nine at that point. She was so excited, she could barely contain herself.

"I love you." Blake said to her, smiling.

"Love you too." She responded, kissing him gently.
