After the show was done, and the crowd started to disperse Laura and the others stayed in the ring and her mother was out in her seat. Laura got up from the chair and went to the edge of the ring and looked at her mother, "You were in on this weren't you momma?" She had tears in her eyes not believing that Stu would do something like this just to as her to marry him.
"Yeah I was in on it, I wanted to see you happy, and I see that look on your face when ever I see you looking at a married couple or a family. You want that and I think Stu will give that dream that you want." Beth got up and went around the barrier to her daughter.
"Yeah well, I do what a family and now I guess I will get one. But you will have to bear with me I just got a job offer at my old high school, the old drawing teacher is retiring, the ceramics teacher is taking over his position, and I am taking over her position. So I guess I can have some help planning the wedding while you work, but I will be calling you a lot to make sure things are alright with you, if that is ok." She was looking down at the ring that was now on her finger, it was beautiful a large diamond with onyx on either side of it.
"That is fine, love, you know you can call me any time you want. By the way your father already knows that you are now engaged to me I asked him for his blessing, and he gave it reluctantly as it was he gave it." Stu came up behind her and helped her out of the ring and took her up the ramp to the back and to his dressing room. The boys and her mother followed.
Laura looked down at the phone and saw that she had two new text messages. On from her brother, congrats sis let me know if you need help planning.
The other was from her father, I'm happy for you.
She put away her phone and saw that Stu was dressed in a nice pair of jeans and a t-shirt. He pulled her away as the others got dressed they went out into the hallway with her mother. "I am happy you accepted for a minute there I thought you wouldn't."
"I am happy I accepted as well, you are good for me, and I don't think I could be with anyone else." The boys came out of the locker room.
"Stu do we have to go out to dinner, I really don't want to, I'd actually like to cook tonight." Justin said, he loved to cook any chance he got he did.
"Depends, Beth would you let us use your kitchen?" Stu asked looking at Beth very nicely.
"Yeah you can use my kitchen, so long as I can get some of the food." Beth smiled as Justin basically jumped up and down.
They all got into the big SUV that was driven to the arena, they drove to Beth's house and Justin quickly got out and raided the fridge for what there was to cook with. The others went into the living room to watch TV. It was a cold night snowing out matter of fact so Justin settled on a soup.
As Justin cooked Stu went to his bag that he brought and pulled out a folder and handed it to Laura. She opened it and was that it was housing listings for Queen Anne's county in Maryland. She looked over at Stu and he just smiled and nodded toward the folder. She scooted over closer to Stu and put the folder in between them and had him look too.
She saw the house she liked it was about ten minutes away from the school where she would work and it was quite large with a large yard that was what was important to her. She liked a large property it is what she was used to. It was also an old house built in a Victorian style.
Her eyes lit up when she saw all the pictures Stu looked over and saw that the house she liked was one of his favorites as well. "We have the weekend off I liked this house a lot too. I set up with the real estate agent to see this one tomorrow if it is as good as it looks we will draw up the agreement and move our things in."
"So I am getting everything I could ever want, now. Aren't I?" She still looked so wondered that Stu had to kiss her, and he did very well. Heath saw that and gagged, Justin had just come around the corner to tell them that dinner was ready and stopped until they parted.
"You two need to learn to get a room, just because you are the lucky ones that have someone doesn't mean that we want to see all the kissing." He commented, Laura looked up from Stu and flipped Justin and Heath off. "Dinner is done, if you two are done sucking face."
Laura got up and made her self and Stu a bowl of dinner and brought it back out to the living room and began to eat. Heath looked on, "And where is mine?"
"Out in the kitchen, go get your own." She smiled, as he huffed and went and got his own food.
Stu smiled as they finished eating in silence, and he took her empty bowl into the kitchen. Laura followed him and said she was going to go to bed up in her old room. This time he followed her. He waved night to the boys as they got up the leave. Stu and Laura made it to their room and changed. They snuggled up on the bed and quickly fell asleep as they were both really tired.
