Mal Fallon

You wake up next to Natara, no longer cuddling her. She must've gotten up in the night to help Chris, not even stirring you because you're such a heavy sleeper.

You look down confused to see yourself fully clothed in your work clothes. You suddenly remember the work yesterday, and feel your heart leap into your throat. You get the sudden urge to check on Chris, make sure he's alright.. Still alive. Until you hear him gurgling, awake on the baby monitor. Relief washes over you.

You get up slowly, making sure not to wake Natara, and head to the bathroom.

You turn on the hot water in the shower, and wait for it to heat up. Taking your tie off, you notice Natara's engagement ring on the rim of the sink.

*Flashback*

It's about 4 in the afternoon, Chris has officially been here for a full week and you, Natara and Chris sit on the couch comfortably watching Sesame Street.

Chris sits in your lap, leaning his back against your tummy his head on your chest. He gurgles delightfully at the overly excitable puppets on the screen. He wraps both his tiny hands on your fingers, as Natara sits next to you reading.

Mal: Why are we watching this?

Natara looks up at you, then to the TV, then back to her book.

Natara: Remember how I said in the baby store, about colourful patterns and puppets can help children's curriculum?

Mal: Yeah?

Natara: ... I just answered your question..

You sigh.

Mal: I know what would make this more entertaining..

Natara looks at you, perplexed.

You wiggle your finger from Chris' grip and dig into your pocket with your thumb and pointer finger, making sure Chris doesn't fall off your lap at the same time. You pull out a gorgeous diamond ring, throned upon a polished silver band.

She stares at it wide-eyed, her mouth, agape, ever so slightly..

Mal: Natara, I love you so much. I know this happened so fast.. I mean, never did I think I would have a kid before marriage.. Yet, I think I prefer this better than the traditional.. We were best friends for a long time before all this, and I somewhat feel, like I should have told you how I felt about you earlier. But I've ended up with you, and that's all that matters to me.. And I know this isn't as romantic as you possibly imagined as a little girl, but I don't think I can wait to take you to a fancy restaurant, because all I want, is to spend the rest of my life with you.. Will you marry me?

She covers her mouth shocked, but you can tell she's smiling wildly. Still sitting on the couch, you cradle Chris and hold out the ring.

Natara: Yes..

She whispers, shocked. You smile like a kid on Christmas and slide the ring onto her finger. She throws her book down and kisses you, on the verge of tears. Christopher, completely oblivious to the event that just happened.

*End of Flashback*

Before you know it, the mirror starts to fog up from the steam of the shower.

Natara Williams

You cradle a tiny Christopher in your arms as you flip through a Bride Magazine. He reaches his tiny fingers out towards the pages and feels the pages. He rests his tiny hand on one dress in particular.

Natara: That one, huh?

You decide not to wear the dress you received from the Ildonian princess. It brings too much memories of you and Oscar. And yes, it brings great memories of you and Mal from that whole adventure with the princess.. But you think it's best to start fresh..

Natara: Sure you're not just gonna puke on it?

Chris looks up at you with gleaming eyes. But you notice how he directs his attention to something behind you.

Mal: Naw, I'm sure he'll behave..

You jump slightly and quickly close the magazine.

Natara: Mal! Don't scare me like that, I almost dropped Chris!

Mal chuckles as he eases Christopher from your arms into his. You can't help but smile at how much of a softie he is.

He starts dancing around with Christopher, humming softly. Christopher lets out a heartwarming giggle.

Mal walks over to you and kisses you sweetly. Christopher now between the two of you. You both finally pull away when Chris starts squirming in Mal's arms. He holds him upright more comfortably.

Mal: Need any more help with the planning?

Natara: No, but this Friday is your tux fitting.

Mal opens his mouth to ask something, but you cut him off.

Natara: No bow ties!

You both chuckle. Mal gives Christopher a giant loveable kiss on the cheek.

It's moment like these that you're going to cherish forever. You're marrying the man you truly love and you both have a beautiful baby boy. You don't regret a thing..

Okay, so I entirely gave up on the killer, coz I felt like it was way too harsh to kill off babies. Even if they ARE fictional.. So, sorry bout that, but prepare for some fluff instead! YAYY!

Please make a girl smile today and review? Even if it is a bad review, it always makes me happy when I get feedback :) thank you!
