Disclaimer: CSI: Miami is not mine but Charmaine is mine

Prologue

A girl took of her gloves and sighed through the latex to the bin and sighed. She sat down buried her face to her hands. She was tired, very tired that with one more minute she would faint. But then again she smiled as a comforting arm wrapped around her.

"I'm very tired Eric" she sighed as she leaned on Eric, her 6 months boyfriend.

Eric nodded "Yes, and I'm getting you home" he said as he let stood up and they walked together.

Charmaine smiled and leaned on Eric, of course she immediately pulled away when they saw Horatio, Calleigh sitting with Ryan and Alexx.

"What's with the big group?" Charmaine asked,

"Well, Eric wanted us to stay said that he got something important to say"

Ryan smirked as Eric went to him opening his palm. Ryan gave her the box and went back to Charmaine.

Charmaine just stared at her boyfriend and to Horatio, who seems to know what will going to happen. Calleigh who put her hands to her mouth Alexx followed. Then back to Eric again, who now on his bended knee.

Eric lovingly stared at his girlfriend "I can come up with many questions to interrogate a suspect but I can't make any words on how to say this to you." He said as he stopped

Ryan pulled out his mini camcorder and started taking the whole thing.

"Ever since my sister died, you were there. I knew we were just friends but you have grown to me and damn I was very scared at the thought of being close to you so I pushed you away. Instead of getting the point, you pursued and hurt you. That drove you to go with case that you shouldn't. Then you were shot, your life was hanging in the thread and I swear to God, it was one of those times that I didn't know what to do. I promised myself if you ever wake up I'll do the right thing" he said as he took a breath

Charmaine's eyes started to well up but just stared at Eric that shown with true love.

"Then you woke up and I admitted that I was in love with you, you have become my world, my universe that if you are gone my life would definitely useless."

Calleigh then whispered to Ryan "How come you didn't tell me that kind of words?" she asked smiling. Ryan chuckled and sighed "'cause, I'm not the one who is proposing here" he whispered back "I'm just the camera man here"

"I know now that you are my half and I wanted everything from you. Even the yelling for me for forgetting our appointments and your cooking hell I wanted to wake up and the first thing I should see is your serene face." Eric stopped and took a breath and opened the velvet dark blue box. Charmaine gasped as she saw the ring sitting on it.

Eric then looked at Charmaine "Charmaine Holly Marie Walsh, will you do the honor to be my wife and make me the happiest man right now. Will you marry me?"

A tear fell down on her cheek and nodded "I will, Eric yes I'm going to marry you" she said almost a whisper. Eric grinned and looked at camera and carefully gets the ring from the box and put it on Charm's ring finger. Eric kissed it gently and he stood up kissing Charmaine on the lips. "I love you baby" he said as he embraced her "I love you too" Charmaine whispered and saw the crime lab people are now staring at them.

Horatio was the first one to go the newly engaged couple "congratulation Eric and Charmaine. I'm very happy with the two of you"

Calleigh was second and lunged herself to Charmaine "I'm so happy for you, I should be the bridesmaid" she said "no, you are the maid of honor Cal," Charmaine smiled and hugged her best friend

"Of course" Calleigh replied as she looked at Ryan and put her hand on her waist "Ryan put the cam down and wish your best friend congrats"

Eric nodded "and you my man, is the best man alright?" he asked

Ryan smiled "that would be super" he said as he hugged Eric and kissed Charmaine on the cheek "congrats charmster". Charmaine pouted and looked at Eric "baby he called me that nickname again" Eric chuckled "come on Ryan, don't tease my fiancé and future Mrs. Delko here" he said.

Ryan scoffed, "fine! Sorry future Mrs. Delko, so shall we celebrate?" he asked

Alexx nodded in agreement "yeah we should go to my house and celebrate. I'll cook and no Horatio you are coming with us" she said seeing Horatio gonna say that he couldn't come.

"Okay then we celebrate!" he said as the people started going out with Eric holding Charmaine's hand.
