3 Days Later
Sophie wakes up next to Sky who is still asleep. She tries to sneak out without waking him up.
"Where you going, babe?" He asks without opening his eyes.
Sophie walks over to him and kisses his forehead, "I'm meeting Ali and Lisa. It's been so long so we're going to spend the day together. I'll see you later, love you"
"Okay, love you too."
Sky hears the door close and checks the time. He gets dressed and goes downstairs after hearing Donna, Sam, Bill and Harry talking. As he walks down stairs, he hears them laughing.
"Hey Sky. You hungry?" Sam asks, grabbing another plate for him.
"Yea, thanks."
Sam has prepared a small buffet style breakfast for themselves. Sky helps himself to the food and walks over to where everyone is sitting, noticing that Rosie and Tanya were also there.
"Hey, so I want to talk to you guys about something." Sky says, staring at his food.
"Is everything okay?" Donna asks, concerned.
"Yea, yea everything is fine." Sky reassures everyone who got worried. "Um, so, the first time I did this, didn't turn out the way we planned, so I figured, this time I would do it the right way."
Everyone stops eating and looks at him confused.
"Okay, um, I would like your blessing, all of yours, to ask Sophie to marry me, again." Sky says slowly looking up at everyone.
Everyone is shocked but smiles. Rosie starts giggling, Tanya starts smiling, and Donna looks like she is about to cry. The guys, they are just staring at him.
Sky starts to get worried. "So, can someone say something, anything. Now, please."
Sam stars laughing, gets up and hugs him. "Of course."
"Absolutely." Harry says, also hugging him.
"For sure, yes" Bill says.
"Donna?" Sam asks. Donna was the person he really wanted it from.
She stands up, trying not to cry and walks over to him. "Yes, yes, of course you have my blessing."
Sky breathes out, finally relaxing.
"When are you going to do it." Donna asks.
"Not sure yet. It just needs to be special."
"Do you have a ring?" Tanya says.
"I have the one I gave her the first time, but I want to get a new one, a nicer one. I was hoping that you three could help." He says, looking at Donna, Rosie and Tanya.
"Of course, we will help."
"Okay, so, Sophie is out all today with Ali and Lisa, so I thought maybe we could go today? If you guys can."
"Yea, we are all free. If you're ready we can leave now." Donna says, looking over at Rosie and Tanya.
"There is a nice jewelry shop on the main land, in that little town a minutes' walk from the docks. Tell them I sent you, they will be good." Sam looks over at Donna and smiles.
"Great, thank you. I just need to grab some things. I'll be right back."
While Sky walks away, everyone smiles and laughs.
"Maybe this time they will be the ones to walk out husband and wife." Rosie whispers, making sure Sky can't hear.
"Alright, you guys ready?" Sky asks, walking out carrying his rucksack.
"Yea let's go. Bye, we'll see you later." Donna says to Sam.
When they get to the jewelry shop, Rosie and Tanya walk a different direction, while Sky and Donna stick together.
"Which one do you think she'll like?" Sky asks, overwhelmed by all the choices.
"I'm not sure. You will know when you see it though, just take you time, you'll know it's 'the one' when you-"
"That one." Sky replies. "That one right there. That's the one."
The man behind the case pulls the ring out and hands it to Sky.
Donna gasps, while Rosie and Tanya walk over. "It's beautiful."
"She'll love it." Tanya says.
"I'll take this one, please." Sky looks at the man behind the counter.
"So, now you have the ring, have you thought about how you are going to do it. Or when?"
"I have something in mind, but it's a surprise."
Donna, Rosie and Tanya look at each other smiling.
"Righty then, time to go." Rosie says quickly.
6 Days Later
On the last day before everyone leaves to go back to their lives and jobs, they have a meal with everyone. After the meal, they go to the outdoor patio to have drinks and talk. Ali, Lisa and Sophie went for a walk for half an hour before meeting up with everyone on the patio, so they could talk privately. When they returned, Bill and Harry gave up their seats for Ali and Lisa, while Sophie walked over to Sky and sat on his lap. Bill and Harry went to the kitchen to get some chairs.
"It's been lovely having you guys staying with us. You will have to visit. Soon." Donna demanded, jokingly.
"Well, at least we have an excuse to return in about what, 6 months?" Lisa says, looking over to Sophie and Sky.
"Yea I guess we you to thank for that, Sky." Ali adds, laughing, while Sky makes a fist and punches the air a few times.
"Hey, don't give me all the credit, it takes two, trust me." Sky says, laughing hugging Sophie.
Everyone laughs.
"Takes two huh." Ali says to Sophie, raising her eyebrows.
"Shut up." Sophie responds laughing.
"Alight, who wants some champagne?" Sky asks, moving Sophie off his lap. He looks at her when he is standing and leans down, kissing her forehead, "Not you."
Everyone says yes as Sky walks into the kitchen. Sophie watches him, smiling, as he walks away.
"Here we go." Sky passes out the glasses. "Now, quick toast. I don't normally do these, so bear with me. I wanted to thank you guys. All of you. You have been so generous to me when you didn't have any reason too. Donna, giving me a place to stay and a job, when I stayed here, all those years ago. And the men, for accepting me, when you were still coming to terms with having a third of a daughter. These four, beautiful, strong women, for making sure I was a good man for Sophie. And then Soph. Ah Soph."
He paused and grabbed her hands, standing her up. She was confused.
"You changed everything for me. I don't know what I would have done if I never met. We have had a hell of an adventure the past 2 years, all because of an adventure I asked for you to take with me, but that ended up being someone else's adventure," looking over at Donna and Sam, "so now we get another one, that will be here in 5 months." He smiled big when he said that. "But, because we cut one adventure short at the very last minute, I was thinking, it's about time we tried again."
He looked at her smiling, took a deep breath, pulled out a small box from his pocket, and knelt to the ground.
Donna, Rosie and Tanya all look at each other, smiling.
"So, Sophie Sheridan, love of my life. Will you marry me? And actually marry me this time."
Sophie starts smiling, "Is that even a question, yes, yes I will marry you!"
He smiles and stands up, hugging her and kissing her. He puts the ring on her finger, then kisses her again.
"Round 2." She laughs.
Everyone stands up and hugs them, laughing.
"He did well, didn't he?" Ali looks at Lisa, while holding Sophie's hand.
"Wait, I'm getting Deja vu." Lisa jokes.
"Hey." Sophie lets go of her. "Well this time it will be us getting married." Sophie hugs Sky.
