A/N: (did you really expect anything else?) Sorry that this (and just about everything) took such a long time to update, I'm currently obsessing over new original stories and fics I haven't decided whether to put up yet. Most of them are slightly more sophisticated I guess, grown-up sounding if you will. Haha.. I've always wanted to put that in something! BUT they are kinda darker and I think they'll be more interesting. Thanks for the probably very few readers who are reading this as they read… and I'm confusing myself.
ANYWAY:
A certain Gray hid her sly smile behind her hand as she walked past the adults through the house and back downstairs to the basement. She had the ring box in her pocket and she was so excited she was about to burst. She had had a lot of fun with her friends, dancing and running around and playing games, but the time came for them to go home and so Elena was left with Connor and Taryn, and all of the adults. Everyone was standing or sitting in the kitchen area or the lounge. Nate had previously arranged with Shane, Elena's plan, and it was almost time to put it to action.
"Can I have everyone's attention please?" Shane had found another microphone and plugged it into the sound system in the lounge. He had turned it up almost full volume so that everyone could hear.
"Would all guests at Elena Gray's birthday party please make their way over to the lounge for one last surprise?" This was it. It was Elena's time.
After everyone had arrived and found somewhere to sit, Elena appeared in front of them with her own microphone.
"Hi, thank you for coming to my party," Elena began. "And thank you for the presents. Mommy and Daddy like to thank you as well. It's very nice. Now I'm gonna sing you the song that mommy and daddy and me writed together. But I'm a bit scared so I might not be very good." Shane played the music and Ellie began to sing. As the daughter of two of the most popular music artists of their time, of course Elena would've inherited at least some of their genes. Even at seven years old everyone could tell that she was an extremely good singer, she had a cute little voice, but on top of that, she pulled off some impressive notes and the song was amazing. She had everyone cheering at the end.
"Thanks guys!" said Elena after she bowed and the cheering died down. "Now, I promised someone that I would help him with a very big and special surprise, but this one isn't for me. It's for someone else who I love very, very much and so does mommy and daddy, and grandma, and also everyone else. And especially Uncle Nate." This was Nate's cue to go up.
"Hey guys, how great was that performance?" Nate said. Everyone cheered and Elena blushed. "Now, I have something to say, and I wanted to wait until all of us were together, just so it would embarrass a certain person. That person happens to be our very own, Caitlyn Gellar."
"What are you planning on doing to me?" Caitlyn asked, raising an eyebrow. Everyone laughed.
"Well, if you come up here, I'll tell you," said Nate. Caitlyn slowly took a few steps to the front of the room.
"I," Nate said. "Am planning on making you mine forever. Caitlyn Gellar, will you marry me?" Caitlyn's eyes grew wide and she blinked in disbelief. Elena handed the ring bow to Nate who opened it and showed Caitlyn. She started to tear up.
"Of course I'll marry you Nathanial," said Caitlyn. Nate pulled Caitlyn into a hug and everyone clapped and cheered wildly. Shane put on some happy music and everyone started dancing.
"You two had been planning this the whole time, hadn't you?" Caitlyn asked Elena and Nate. They nodded and Caitlyn pulled them both into another hug.
"This is the best birthday ever!" Elena said happily.
A/N: Awww wasn't that sweet? Oh, little kids, birthdays, proposals, gosh, I need to go read a dark crime/horror or something, get the sappiness outta my head, lol! Thanks for reading! –me, out.
