Clay and Quinn returned home, now engaged. They were both so happy and could not smiling. Walking into the kitchen and over to the sofa Quinn stood in front of Clay. He put his hands around her waist from behind and kissed her on the cheek. His hands moved around from her waist to her back as he began to undo the zip on her dress as he placed gentle kissed on her neck. He had undone it slightly as she turned to face him, she looked him in the eyes and kissed him passionately as her hands went to his chest. She began undoing his buttons on his blue shirt as he kicked off his shoes and continued to undo the zip on her dress. She threw his shirt on the floor and began to undo his belt and trousers, as well as kicking off her shoes. His trousers fell to his ankles at the same time as her dress fell to the floor, they still hadn't stopped kissing. They were both standing in the lounge, in their underwear, kissing like there was no tomorrow. Eventually Quinn pulled away, both in need of air 'I'll see you out there' as she turned to walk outside and to the hot tub, as Clay walked into the kitchen and got a bottle of wine and 2 glasses in one hand, and a bottle of champagne in another, after all, they were celebrating.
Clay walked onto the deck and saw Quinn's sat in the hot tub. She truly was beautiful, he could just stare at her all day. He was so happy that she was now his, forever. He got to wake up to her every morning and go to sleep with her in his arms every night. He walked up to the hot tub and put the drinks on the side and stepped in. 'Hey fiance' Clay smiled as he passed Quinn the champagne, 'Let the celebrations begin' he said leaning in for a kiss.
The rest of the night flew by, and they fell asleep together in their bed for the first time as an engaged couple.
The morning quickly came, which started with a make-out session as usual. Neither of them had stopped smiling since last night. They had both been engaged before, but this time it was different. Clay did love Sara, but there was something about Quinn that he loved all the more. And Quinn did love David, but Clay was her soul mate.
Their affectionate kissing was interrupted by Quinn's phone. Quinn sighed and rolled off Clay. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Haley calling. Quinn's huge smile quickly came back as she looked at Clay. He nodded, already knowing that she was going to ask if she could tell Haley.
Quinn lied her head against her pillow and answered the phone 'Hi Hales' she said, as she pulled Clay on top of her. She liked it when she got Clay to lie on her, it wasnt often because he was always worried he would squash and hurt her, but Quinn loved it. She liked feeling his weigh pushing her into the bed and liked feeling his body relaxed with hers. 'Haley, i have some news for you... Clay proposed to me last night, we're getting married!' Quinn said really excitedly. Clay's head was next to Quinn's so he could hear Haley's reaction down the phone. Haley was screaming, which made Clay and Quinn laugh. Haley and Quinn were chatting about the proposal and weddings ideas for about 30 minutes, in which Clay was happy to lie on his beautiful fiance and watch her smiling. After Quinn hung up the phone, she rolled on top of Clay, it was her turn to squish him now. Just then Clay's phone rang, causing them both to sigh. 'It's Nathan' Clay laughed as he reached for his phone.
'Hey Nate'
'Congratulations Clay, i told you that if you played your cards right, you'd end up with an incredible wife, a James girl of course'
'Thanks man'
The two boys had a quick conversation about work, whilst Quinn happily lay on top of Clay, this time her watching him smile and chat to his best friend. Whilst Clay was chatting, the hand that was not holding the phone was occupied by playing with Quinn's long blond curls. After he hung up he smiled at Quinn, 'you've made me the happiest man on the planet'
'thank you baby, i love you'
'i love you too Quinn... but there's.. actually something... that i wanna... talk to you about' he talked slowly and looked nervous.
'what is it baby?' Quinn asked. Clay got up and walked into to bathroom, Quinn's eyes followed him, but she remained sat on the bed. He came back holding a little white pouch. It was Quinn's white pouch.
'Baby, what are you doing with my Pill?'
'I was thinking, maybe you could stop taking them?'
'What?' Quinn asked, she was shocked and nervous all again.
Clay walked over to her and cupped her face in his hands. 'I told you 2 weeks ago on the day Lydia was born, that someday we'd have a family together... and soon you will be my wife, and i just want you to know that, when you want to have children, then i want that too'
'Clay...'
'Just think about it babe, you don't have to if you don't want to, but i want a family with you Quinn, whenever you're ready' He was talking fast, Quinn could tell he was nervous. They had never actually talked about their future. They both knew they wanted to be together forever, but had never actually told each other that. Last night the proposal was such a surprise for Quinn and so out of the blue, she wasn't expecting it at all, and this was yet again just the same.
Tears began to fall down Quinn cheeks, Clay was worried he had gone too far and panicked that Quinn didnt feel the same. He rubbed her cheeks and said 'Sorry babe, i didnt mean to upset you'
'These aren't sad tears you goof, these are happy tears' Quinn smiled 'Of course i want a family with you, i love you, and if you want a family then of course i will stop taking the pill' she paused and smiled, then continued 'as long as we're married first, i don't want to be pregnant and huge on our wedding day' this made Clay laughed, he was so happy she liked the idea of a family, 'that sound fair, so how about we get married really soon? i don't think i can go on much longer with out you being my wife Quinn James.'
Quinn took a second to think.. 'lets get married then.. soon.. now.. today!' clay looked at her with shock, 'if you want to Clay?'
'i thought you wanted a big wedding?'
'i just wanna be your wife, and start a family with you, i mean, we've both had big weddings before, i don't need any of that, i just need you.'
'you amaze me you know that?' Clay said and pulled Quinn in for a kiss. 'but how about we plan it for tomorrow, that give you time to go and find the most expensive wedding dress in Tree Hill, and gives us time to get everyone together?... oh and i remember you telling me that Haley was the one who married Lucas and Peyton, so maybe she could do the same for us? if you want?'
Quinn burst out laughing 'That actually sounds like a good idea, in some ridiculous, rushed kinda way' Quinn said with a big smile, 'I better call Haley back'
Quinn spent the entire day shopping, she wanted the perfect dress and she wanted to look her very best for Clay. He gave her his credit card and wanted her to get absolutely everything she wanted. He was a very wealthy agent, one of the best in the country, and no expense was too much for the love of his life. Haley had gone shopping with her and had taken Lydia too, who spent most of the day fast asleep in her stroller. Jamie had gone with Nathan to help set up a venue on the beach for the wedding. The beach had became Clay and Quinn's spot, they spend most of their days on the beach, they had their very first kiss on the beach, and fell asleep every night looking at the beach. The fact that Quinn was afraid of the ocean didnt stop her from enjoying the warm sand and the spec-tactual view.
'So Clay, your marrying my aunt Quinn?' Jamie said to Clay
'Yeah i am buddy, is that okay?' Clay actually was concerned, he knew how much Jamie loved Quinn and how close they were.
'I guess its okay because she told me that she loves you, but you should know that she loves pancakes with syrup for breakfast, last time i stayed with her we made them every day'
'Yeah i know bud, and you know you can come and stay with me and Quinn at the beach house anytime you like right?'
'Awesome... But Clay, i love my aunt Quinn a lot you know, so you have to be nice to her all the time' Jamie was so cute being so protective of his aunt.
'I will, i promise' Clay laughed a little at the fact he was getting interrogated by a 8 year old, but he loved Jamie and loved that he was just trying to be the man and look out for his aunt 'hey jamie, how about you come with me to pick out the wedding rings? and then tomorrow at the wedding, maybe you could bring the rings up to me and Quinn when we need them?'
'really? yeah i'd love to' Jamie said excitedly.
Eventually Quinn and Haley found the perfect dress. The only thing that would have made the dress better would of been if Brooke, one of Quinn's best friends had made it. Brooke wanted to make all her friends wedding dresses, but this time she just didn't have time. She wouldn't be able to make an entire dress in one day, however she did insist on modifying the dress a little if there was anything that could be adapted. The dress Quinn had found was white and light, nothing to big and fancy. She knew she was getting married on the beach, she knew it would be hot, and she knew that she's already had a fancy wedding dress once before. The dress floated nicely over her little curves and down her long legs to the floor. The material was thin, with little crystals down the sides. It was beautiful and she loved it. Quinn and Haley went to Brooke's house so she could evaluate the dress.
'OMG Quinn, you look stunning' Brooke's mouth dropped, she thought Quinn looked amazing, 'Hmm, now, how can i add a little B-Davis-Baker to this? hmmm' Brooke said whilst Quinn twirled. 'I know...' Brooke began sowing on a little lace around the cleavage. It was only a little touch, but it made an impact which Quinn, Brooke and Haley all loved.
'Right, i best go back to the beach house, get all my things and say bye to Clay, then i will be back over to yours for the night Hales, i will be there in about 2 hours'
'2 hours, does it really take that long to get a few things together?' Haley asked
'Hales, she did say she needs to say goodbye to Clay' Brooke interrupted, with her and Quinn laughing.
'Ew Quinny, thats not something your sister needs to hear!' Haley said
'Hey i said nothing' Quinn laughed again 'Bye ladies, Brooke thank you, see you and Julian tomorrow, see you later Hales' Quinn said as she left Brooke's house.
'You James girls really like to rush things don't you?' Brooke asked Haley.
'What do you mean?'
'Well you got married in high school, and Clay and Quinn got engaged yesterday and the wedding is tomorrow. I think its cute how the James girls know exactly what they want and don't mess around'
Haley laughed 'yeah thats true. Quinn's so different this time round. When she married David she was really happy and excited, but this time round with Clay, there's stars in her eyes, im so happy for her'
'Clay, baby im home...Clay?' Quinn shouted.
'Im in the bedroom babe, but don't come in!' Clay shouted back 'I will be out in a sec'
Quinn walked over to the big glass doors and walk out onto the deck, she looked down the beach and to the spot where they were getting married at tomorrow. Clay and the boys had set up a few chairs and placed a small alter under a wrath of pink roses (Quinn's favourite flowers.) It wasnt anything big, and there was only going to be a few people there.
'Hey babe, do you like it?' Clay walked out the bedroom, dressed only in his boxers, and he snaked his arms around her waist and kissed her neck'
'i love it, its perfect' Quinn turned around and noticed he was only in his boxers 'What were you doing in there?' she smiled 'trying on your tux for tomorrow'
'It is quite the snazzy tux you know, gotta look good for my baby... did you find a dress?'
'i sure did, i hope you like it! i can't wait, im so excited'
'theres nothing i want more than for you to be Quinn James Evans' clay said before kissing Quinn on the nose 'oh and by the way, i got Jamie's approval of the wedding, i didnt realise how protective of you that little man is!'
'what? haha' Quinn found it so hilarious and cute that Jamie was looking out for her. 'Oh i do love him, i cant wait until we have kids of out own' Quinn said
'Me either' Clay said as he picked Quinn up and carried her too their bedroom.
