Hi, this is a story based on my idea of how the upcoming season finale episode, It's A Nice Day For A Wheeler Wedding supposed 'surprise proposal' is going to go down. It starts off in Ben's POV.

Ben's POV

I watched as Riley leaned her head on Danny's chest as they swayed to the slow music. I looked up and met Danny's eyes focused on me. He was sort of warning me and daring me to come closer to them and disturb the peace.

I broke the gaze and looked down at my one and only princess. I had seventeen more years with her before she left. "Hey Emma, let's dance."

I was met with a sneeze and pouted at her. "Is little Emma feeling a bit sick?" I only got a whine in answer. "We better take you home, huh?"

I edged myself and Emma closer to the exit but was stopped with silence. "Riley..." I turned and found Danny on one knee, in front of a gasping Riley. He opened a ring box containing Nana's ring. "I have loved you since the first day I set my eyes on you all those years ago..."

I couldn't hear any more. My heart clenched as I saw tears pool at her eyes. "Let's go, Emma." I whispered to my confused daughter. I could always call Mom and wish her and Brad a safe journey to their honeymoon.

I exited the expensive reception hall and went to the front desk, requesting for Emma's stroller. When it was brought a few minutes later, I strapped Emma in and covered her up. "Let's go, baby." I mumbled, pushing the stroller into the cold dark night of Manhattan.

"Dada..."

I stopped the stroller and took Emma's bottle out of her bag. "Do you want your bottle?" I asked, shaking it in front of her. She reached for it and I knelt down and gave it to her. "You're so beautiful." I mumbled, feeling her soft hair as she drank from her bottle. "You're also burning up. Is little Emma sick?"

She nodded and spat the bottle out. "Uk."

I was about to take the bottle from her but I felt myself drift into unconsciousness as my body lost feeling. The last thing I heard was Emma screaming and crying.

Riley's POV

"Riley..." I saw Danny get down on one knee and I gasped as he opened a ring box containing a familiar ring. "I have loved you since the first day I set my eyes on you all those years ago." I gulped, tears threatening to fall as my eyes drifted to Ben and Emma leaving.

"Oh, Danny..." I breathed out.

"I know what you're going to say but just hear me out, okay?" Danny asked. I nodded, gulping as my eyes drifted upwards to Bonnie's.

"Okay."

"For years I have felt nothing but love and respect for you. Any time you were dating someone else, I found myself jealous. I always was your shoulder to cry on and I was always there. I tried getting over you but I couldn't get you out of my mind. So, Riley Perrin... will you marry me?"

I saw everyone's expecting glances. "I... y-no. Oh my gosh..." I cried.

"Was that a yes or a no?" Tucker yelled out from somewhere. "I'm all the way back here and I can barely hear so speak up, girl!"

"Shut it, Tucker!" Bonnie yelled back.

I took a deep breath. "Although we have never dated... I'm going to say yes." I smiled.

Danny stayed there, stiff before he realised my answer. Everyone cheered as he slipped the ring onto my finger and stood up, kissing me.

As I hugged him, I saw Bonnie's disappointed but happy glance. I knew exactly what she was thinking. Where's Ben? Does he accept this? Am I with the right Wheeler brother?

"Congratulations, guys! At least this is better than me marrying you." Brad joked to Danny making us laugh. "I think she's more your type than me."

"Agreed." Danny replied.

I leant away from him. "Have you seen Ben and Emma anywhere?"

Danny looked around, a look in his eyes that I couldn't describe or understand whereas Brad shrugged.

"Sorry. Must have slipped out to change her diaper or something." Brad suggested.

"Yeah. Must have." I replied, smiling. "Well, let's go get more champagne, Danny."

Danny snapped his head towards me and nodded, blushing slightly. "Yeah. And I'm sure Ben and Emma will turn up soon."

Ben's POV

I heard a lot of noises. One was cooing at something or someone and one was beeping. I hear voices everywhere, making my head spin.

"Sir? Can you hear me?" I heard. I tried opening my eyes but it was too bright so I groaned, closing my eyes again. "I'm a EMT. Don't worry, your daughter is okay." Female.

Emma? "Emma?" I breathed out.

"Is that her name? That's a pretty name. Emma's okay and you'll be okay as well. We have to get you to the hospital. Is there anyone we can call for you?"

"My phone... front pocket, 1606... Mom... Bonnie Wheeler..." I drifted back into unconsciousness as everything was numb and dark.

Bonnie's POV

"Has anyone seen Ben?" I asked Tucker, Danny and Riley.

"No, sorry. But if you do find him, tell him I need that number of one of his and Danny's cousins." Tucker said, immediately following a poor attractive girl.

I sighed, smiling at Brad with Tad when our eyes met. "If you see Ben, tell him to come to me."

"I saw him leave. He could be just changing Emma's diaper or something." Riley tried, smiling gently.

I nodded, looking between Danny and Riley. "Congratulations." I said before exiting the hall to find my youngest son and my granddaughter. I was about to head to the toilets when I was stopped by Ray and Steve.

"Bonnie! You look beautiful!" Ray said, giving me a hug.

"Thank you. You guys look good too. Now, help me find Ben and Emma for the extra photos."

Ray and Steve looked at each other. "Bonnie, we saw Ben and Emma leave just half an hour ago." Steve replied.

"Why didn't anyone tell me?!" I asked, rushing outside to look for them. "Ben?! Emma?!"

I was about to yell again when my phone buzzed. I took it out of my clutch and answered it, seeing Ben's name. "Ben! Where the hell are you? We have-"

"Is this Ben's mom?" A female voice asked.

"I swear, if Benjamin has gone home with a girl, I will-"

"No, I am an EMT. Your son was attacked. He was able to tell me the passcode to his phone so I could call you. This is Bonnie Wheeler, I presume?"

"Oh my God, yes. Where-where's my granddaughter? Is she okay? Is Ben okay?" I hurried back in and pulled Ray's collar back, stopping him and Steve from entering the hall.

"Emma's with us. She's feeling a bit unwell and scared. Can you make it to the hospital quickly because she's in distress."

I nodded. "Yes, I'm on my way with Ben's father. Is he okay, himself?" I asked again.

"He's in pretty bad shape. You better come here quick." she replied.

I breathed out deeply. "We're coming." I said, hanging up. "Ben's been attacked and they say Emma is sick. That's why he must have left!" I felt tears slip down my cheeks as Ray put his hands on my shoulders.

"Don't worry, we'll get to the hospital as soon as possible. Let's tell Brad, Danny, Riley and Tucker first."

"I'll get them." Steve offered, rushing into the hall.

I took deep breaths as I stared down at my dress. "Why did this happen on today of all days? We were all supposed to be happy. Although, I know that Benji hasn't been happy lately but... why did this happen to him? When he has Emma? He could have been killed, Ray! They say he's in a pretty bad state."

"One thing I know about both our sons is that they are fighters, just like their mother. He'll be okay, I promise you." Ray assured me, hugging me.

"Mrs Wheeler!" I turned and found Riley rush to me, wrapping her arms around me. "Is he okay?"

"We have to get to the hospital to know more first." I told her.

...

I heard a familiar cry as I rushed towards a cringing nurse. "Oh, Emma!" I cooed, taking my granddaughter away from the woman, immediately shutting her up.

"Dada." she cried softly.

"Daddy is going to be okay, Emma." I whispered, kissing her head. "Oh, you're so hot." I mumbled, turning to face Riley. "Can you take her to the children's ward and see if they can settle her?"

Riley nodded, reaching her arms out for Emma. "Of course. Tucker, come with me." I silently thanked her. This was a family moment. I watched as Tucker took Emma's bag from the nurse and pushed her stroller, following Riley and Emma towards the elevator.

I turned back around and smiled softly at Brad who smiled sympathetically back.

"Is Ben okay?" Danny asked, looking around for someone to probe answers from.

"Let's find a doctor." Ray suggested, heading down the corridor towards the reception. We all followed, not caring that we were overly dressed for a hospital.

"Family of Benjamin Wheeler?" I halted first, turning around to see a old grey-haired doctor.

"I'm his mother. Is he okay?" I asked, rushing up to him.

The doctor gulped at the sight of Danny and the rest of the males behind me. "Your son was attacked and two of his ribs were cracked from the forceful hits he received. He had stitches at the back of his head due to being struck there. He also has a swollen cheek and a broken arm."

I nearly threw up at the description of his injuries. "Ray, father. Is he going to be okay?" Ray asked for me.

"Well, he was responsive towards us at the scene but since then he's been unconscious. Roughly for about an hour now. I'm relieved to say that he has not suffered any long-term head injuries but we are growing a little concerned at how long he's been under for. We might have to wait a while for him to awake or we'll wake him up."

"But he isn't comatose?" Brad asked.

"No, he isn't. Just unconscious, we hope. When one is unconscious, the time taken to awaken is between a few seconds to half an hour. If he doesn't awake within the next half an hour, we would presume he's comatose and that he has suffered substantial head injuries that we may have missed."

I gulped. "Oh, okay." I cleared my throat. "Can-can we see him?"

"Only two of you can go at a time." The doctor said.

"Mom, you and Dad go. I'll wait." Danny said, hugging me.

I nodded and held my hand out for Ray to take. Brad didn't need to worry; Ray was gay. Steve didn't need to worry; again, Ray was gay. Ray took my hand and we followed the doctor to Ben's room.

I gasped when we entered. My Benji looked so hurt... and frail. I let go of Ray's hand and found myself running my fingers through Ben's soft brown hair. "Oh, Benji..." I muttered, tears falling down my cheeks.

"I remember the first time he broke his arm. When it was the first time he got down from that tree house. He cried for hours before Riley and Danny signed his cast, shutting him up."

I sighed, my lips wavering. "What if he died? Riley told me that he was worried about something like this happening. He chose her to look after Emma if he ever died. What if that day came today, huh?"

"I... I don't know, Bonnie." Ray replied gently.

"I may not always show it or acknowledge it but I love Ben so much and when I heard the news, a part of me died. I don't ever want to feel that. Did you hear Emma screaming when we entered? It was like she sensed that her father was hurt. She called for him. If he died, what will we tell her?"

Ray shook his head, looking down at Ben. "But he isn't dead. He's going to be okay. He's critical but stable. We don't have to tell that little, innocent girl anything. Her daddy will be okay and she will be in his arms soon."

Ben's POV

I groaned, hearing the voices clearly. "Ben? Ray, he's waking up."

I opened my eyes and blinked, focusing them on the dull, boring ceiling. Everything smelt so septic and clean.

"Mom? Dad?"

"Oh, Benji!" Mom cried, kissing my head. "Are you okay?"

I tried to remember everything but my mind kept on narrowing on one person. "Emma! Where's-urgh." I winced, leaning back down.

"You have two broken ribs, son." Dad said, fluffing a pillow before gently placing it under my back. "Emma's okay, she's upstairs in the children's ward."

"She's scared and sick. Please, let me see her." I begged, leaning up again

Mom shook her head, pushing me back down. "Riley and Tucker are with her. She's okay, she's with her godparents."

"I'm sorry for leaving... Emma wasn't feeling too good so I thought that I could slip out quietly. I didn't mean to get attacked. I didn't mean to scare Emma. Will the child services take her away from me because of this?" I asked, fear etching in my gut.

"No! No, of course not!" Mom said, shaking her head.

"They can't take away your daughter because of something that wasn't your fault." Dad told me. "Emma's okay, she just wants her daddy and to feel better."

I whined. "Can you go and get her, please?"

Dad stood up. "I'll go. And I'll tell Danny to come in to see y-"

"No!" I cut in, eyes wide. "I just... don't want to see him right now." I said hoarsely.

Mom shooed Dad out and when she was sure that we were alone she grilled into me. "You saw him propose, didn't you?"

"No. I didn't. Did she say yes or no?" I didn't know her answer and a part of me didn't want to find out. My depression levels would only go so far.

"She said 'yes', Benji..." Mom said gently, grabbing my hand. "At first she said 'no' but she said 'yes'. They're engaged."

I closed my eyes tightly, turning away from her as my tears slipped down. "She does love him." I croaked out. "I knew it." I whispered.

"What do you mean?"

"That was the whole reason I broke it off with her. They thought that I wouldn't know or-or realise. I'm not blind. They nearly kissed in front of me."

I heard Mom take a sharp breath. "I'm sorry, baby..."

"Just get me Emma. And tell everyone else that I don't want to see them."

"Tucker's really worried. And so is Riley." Mom tried.

I shook my head, opening my eyes. "I don't care. I just want my baby."

"I'll go check on Emma and see if she can come downstairs. Give me a minute or so."

I didn't reply or nod. Mom just sighed and left, shutting the door behind her gently.

Riley said 'yes'. My life was officially over.

How was that? Too heavy? This is a multi-chapter story.
