Will you marry me? The question I have always dreamed of. And now it came true. I always thought that when I got asked that question I would be older than 18. I looked in his eyes and I started crying. He stood up and wrapped his arms around me. He picked me up and carried me over to the couch. He sat down and cradled me in his arms. He rocked me back and forth. I'm just wondering if he knows these are tears of joy.
"Let's all go outside now," said Jake. I moved to stand up, but Jake stopped me.
"No Miles, don't move let me carry you," he said. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he walked to the deck. Oliver started the fire and Julie made the hot cocoa. We all sat by the fire. 5 minutes later I noticed something.
"Where is Lilly?" I asked. No one answered. I stood up and went inside. She was sitting on the couch.
"Come on Lilly, come watch the snowflakes with us, like old times," I said.
"Say yes to Jake," she said.
"What?" I asked.
"I don't want him to be hurt Miley. He loves you," she said. I sat down next to her.
"I was going to say yes all along. I couldn't imagine hurting anyone like Cody hurt you," I said. Just then Jake walked in.
"Can I have a word with you Miley?" he asked. I nodded and we walked into the kitchen.
"What's up?" I asked.
He hesitated then said, "I understand that you don't want to marry me, but…" Water slowly filled his eyes.
"Jacob Andrew Ryan, you should never believe the impossible," I said. It took him a second to realize what I had said.
"So…" he said.
"The answer is yes," I said. He smiled and took the ring out of his pocket and slid it on my finger. We went back into the living room.
"Come on Lillian, let's go watch the snowflakes," I said. She looked at my hand and smiled. We all walked outside. Lilly and I ran to the deck wall and let the snowflakes fall on our faces. We looked at each other and laughed. Jake came up behind me and he wrapped his arms around my stomach. I looked up at him and he kissed my forehead. Just then, there was aloud crash and I looked over at Lilly. She had fallen. I ran to her and made sure she was still breathing. She was. Jake came to her too.
"Come on Lilly!" I screamed. Her eyes fluttered open. Jake and I helped walk her to the fire.
"What happened?" I asked.
"There was a pain in my stomach then I got all dizzy," she said.
"You're OK now," I said. Her face started scrunching up and then she screamed at the top of her lungs. She clutched her stomach.
"Oliver go get Juliana! Get her jacket, socks, and a pair of shoes. Julie go get a wet washcloth. Jake go start my car we need to get her to the hospital!" I screamed. I helped Lilly up. She was still clutching her stomach. I helped her out to the car. I took the washcloth and gave it to Lilly. She put it on her stomach. Oliver was already in the car with sleeping Jewls. We raced to the ER.
"Uhh hello pregnant teen, stomach pains," I screamed. They put Lilly in a wheelchair. She got her room and they started doing a bunch of tests.
"What's your full name sweetheart?" asked Dr. Gomez.
"Lillian Francesca Truscott," Lilly said.
"I hope you're not having contractions your only like a month pregnant," I said.
"Pregnant?" asked Dr. Gomez. I nodded. He put jelly stuff on Lilly's stomach and did a sonogram.
"Lillian you are 18 am I correct? Don't worry your babies are fine. You were just having regular symptoms," said Dr. Gomez. I looked at him.
"Babies? As in more than one?" I asked. He nodded.
"How many?" asked Lilly. She was scared.
"Three," he said. Lilly's eyes got huge. I don't just mean huge. I mean HUGE.
"Triplets?" asked Lilly.
Dr. Gomez smiled and said, "Merry Christmas, have you been outside to see the snowflakes?"
