This is the last chapter, and I know it's a little rushed, but I'm short on time, and wanted to wrap this one up. Sorry for the long wait, I've had some writer's block issues.

Chapter Four: Eleventh Day

Eight Days Later

Emily stood, coffee mug in her hand, watching the man that lay sleeping in their shared bed. She smiled softly, all while wondering what he had planned for today. Knowing that Christmas was indeed tomorrow. She nibbled nervously on her bottom lip, before sipping a bit more of her coffee.

"Hey," Matt said groggily, his wavy black hair, in an unruly mess.

"Hey yourself," Emily smiled before sitting on the edge of the bed.

"What's wrong Em?" Matt asked, as he placed his hand on her back, and rubbed gently.

"Well it's just, these past ten days have been...wonderful," Emily sighed.

"Is that a bad thing?" Matt asked, slightly confused.

"No, it's just, it feels as if there's a motivate as to why you've been doing all these wonderful things...I just, should I be afraid of what's coming next?" Emily asked, sipping the rest of her coffee from the mug.

"Afraid? God of course not," Matt answered worriedly.

"Okay," Emily sighed, a little more contently.

"In fact..." Matt paused as he caught a glimpse of the clock. "We should be getting ready to go."

"Already?" Emily asked.

"Yep, I have some really special stuff planned for today," Matt grinned at her.

"Special huh?" Emily asked, her eyebrow raised slightly.

"Yup, and we're gonna be late, if we don't leave soon," Matt said, kissing her cheek, before climbing out of bed.

One Hour Later

"Matt...this is a jewelry store," Emily pointed out.

"Not just any jewelry store, the best jewelry store," Matt smirked, as he exited the car.

"But...why are we at a jewelry store?" Emily asked.

"I need an idea of what to get you for Christmas, so I want you to pick out a few things you like," Matt answered, his arm hanging loosely around her waist.

"Your the best, you know that right?" Emily asked, before placing a small kiss on his lips.

"Well...I try," Matt grinned.

Emily walked in, and gazed around the store, immediately noticing that this was indeed a very expensive jewelry store.

"Matt, this stuff...it's too much," Emily said, gazing upon a small diamond earring set.

"I thought we discussed this. Nothing is too much for you, now, show me a few things you like. I just need a general idea, I'm sure this nice lady will help me pick out the perfect gift," Matt smiled, as he snaked his arms around Emily's waist.

Emily looked around the store for a few minutes, and pointed out a few diamond earring sets and one ring. Matt nodded toward the lady behind the counter, before his cell phone started to scream.

"Flannery," Matt answered.

"Hey, I'm here," Lia said.

"Oh, okay," Matt grinned into the phone, before snapping it closed.

"What's that grin about?" Emily asked.

"Well, your ride is here, and I have some stuff to do," Matt said, pointing to Lia, who was waiting just outside of her car.

"Oh, well, I'll see you tonight then?" Emily asked.

"Uh, well, I was thinking that you could spend the night with Lia, have a girl night," Matt said, as he slid on hand on her hip.

"Are you sure?" Emily asked.

"Yep," Matt smiled, before capturing her lips in his.

"Mmmmhmmm...okay, I will see you tomorrow though right?" Emily asked.

"Yeah, of course, I gave Lia specific time to get you home by," Matt smiled, before hugging Emily tightly, and giving her one last kiss.

Emily slipped out the door, as Matt's attention went toward the woman behind the counter. His plan already quickly into motion, all the while his nerves were making it hard to keep his body from shaking all over. A part of him wished it was Christmas already.

The next morning

Matt paced the floor of their apartment. Everyone had arrived, except for Lia and Emily, and much to everyone's amusement, Butterscotch was following Matt around. He heard the key in the door, and knew that it was Emily. He took a quick glance around, happy with himself, before standing just inside the living room.

"Matt?" Emily called out, the house completely dark, except for the light from the Christmas Tree in the corner.

Emily rounded the corner, and entered the living room. Her hand flew to her mouth, as she saw Matt dressed in a full length black suit. A single red rose in his hand, and a dopey grin on his face. Lia stood at a distance behind Emily, the same wide-eyed look on her face at the sight that had Emily stunned into a speechless stupor.

Matt walked slowly toward her, handed her the rose, before grabbing her free hand, and leading her into the living room. Once inside the room, the lights came up, and Emily glanced around the room filled with her closest friends. Her eyes glistened with tears, when they came upon the two people standing closer to the back.

"My parents," she mouthed to Matt.

He shook his head confirming what she had said. Before she could say anything else, he slipped down on one knee, and grabbed for the small box hiding in his jacket pocket.

"These past eleven days, they've all been leading up to this moment. A moment, that I've been thinking about since I told you I loved you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you Emily Lehman, and so today, in front of our friends, and our family..." Matt let his sentence trail off a little bit as one older slightly gray-haired man stood, his hand on a much younger looking man's shoulder. Emily immediately knew that they were Matt's father and brother, as tears became more apparent in her eyes. "I'm asking you, to accept this ring, and be my wife."

Emily shook her head in agreement, as she was still speechless.

Matt stood up, and placed the small diamond ring on her finger, before drawing her into his body. Emily turned her mouth toward Matt's ear.

"You want your Christmas present now?" Emily whispered lightly in his ear.

He shook his head, confirming that he did. Emily leaned in farther, her whispers only audible for the man in front of her. Matt's eyes grew wide at what she was saying, before turning toward her.

"Your pregnant?" he asked more loudly than he had intended, as everyone's attention moved from Matt to Emily, back to Matt. All shocked into a stunned silence.

"Yeah, but did you have to announce it to the world?" Emily asked.

"Sorry," Matt answered sheepishly.

"Of course Matt would, it's his nature," Frank said, getting a snicker from Duff, as the rest of the group soon followed in with laughter.

"So Matt, where's the champagne? Today's a day of celebration," Cheryl announced, very happy for her two close friends.
