KAY! I'm back! I know it has been awhile but I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Also I took a break to reread the AF series to help me with my stories. Firstly:

Yfke: they are a young unmarried couple, Artemis's parents know everything including that he is actually only 18 not 21 therefore his parents would be mad if Holly became pregnant regardless of responsible they are. In my universe at least, so Artemis being the mature teen and new person he is didn't want to keep things from his parents.

Tawny: I appreciate the reviews! Thanks!

Now back to my story enjoy the latest chapter!

Artemis and Holly walked back to their house in an awkward silence but held hands the whole way. "What do you thinks going to happen now?" Holly asked as they made their way into the rear courtyard.

"I can't be one hundred percent sure but my parents, especially my mother, know how important you are too me. Not to mention how important the People are to the world. We are both adults despite the lost three years I'm sure they'll allow us, plus we'd be giving them their first grandchild." Holly and Artemis both blushed at 'grandchild.'

"Dear god one genius Artemis Fowl is bad enough but his children, Gods help us," Holly said laughing.

"Well you changed me, twice in fact, and with you as their mother I'm sure they'll turn out great," Artemis answered back. The young couple continued to laugh and tease one another till they went to bed soon after entering their house.

The Next Morning

Artemis and Holly were in the Manor's kitchen waiting, while Butler was busy making breakfast for the Fowl family. By the time Butler had finished preparing a pancake and bacon meal, Artemis Sr. and Angeline were entering the kitchen. The twins ran in between the parents straight to their pancakes.

"Good morning everyone," Angeline said as she took her place at the table. Artemis Sr. gave a short greeting before he went past the kitchen into a random room containing one of the many vaults hidden throughout the Manor.

"Morning Mother, where is father going?"

"He just needs to grab some things. Butler could you take the twins and have Juliet watch them for a bit," Angeline instructed.

"Of course Ma'am," Butler took Myles and Beckett with their breakfast away.

"Now Arty, Holly about what you asked your father and I."

Holly and Artemis already began to shift uneasily. "Of course mother, I assume you and father talked about it?"

"Of course we did, and we are glad that you came to us first instead of just going through with it." Artemis Sr. made his way to the dining room table to join his wife. "Have you told them darling?" Artemis Sr. asked playing a small DNA coded lockbox on the table. "Just getting to it dear," Angeline slide the box to Artemis and Holly.

"What's this Angeline?" Holly asked taking the box, one side turned green.

The Fowl parents just smiled to each other. "Arty, go ahead and place your hand on the other side," Artemis Sr. told him.

Artemis was confused but interested," very well." Artemis grabbed the box and beeped popping out a small velvet box.

"We would be happy to become grandparents," Angeline smiled.

"But," Artemis Sr. began, "there is only one condition." He nodded for Artemis to open the box. Inside was an old wedding ring. "That is the Fowl family's oldest heirloom. A gold band with the family crest in the middle of the diamond dressed at the top."

"I didn't even know we still had this," Artemis was staring at the ring. Holly was awe struck; even amongst Fairy jewelry the ring was beautiful. "Mr. and Mrs. Fowl, are you asking us to get married?"

Angeline laughed and smiled at Holly's reaction, "well we will leave the proposal to Arty but yes we can have the wedding whenever you guys decide but it is our condition."

Artemis pulled Holly close and looked into her mismatched eyes before turning to his parents, "very well." Artemis pocked the ring and took Holly's hand, "we accept your condition." Holly nodded and smiled in agreement.

Later on

Holly and Artemis returned to their house almost in a daze about the conversation they'd had with Artemis's parents. "So we are really going to get married then," Holly said breaking the silence.

"Not yet I haven't proposed yet. Just because you know it's going to happen doesn't mean you get to know when or how yet," Artemis answered his mind already spinning ideas.

"Oh crap, I know that face," Holly groaned. "Artemis Fowl what are you planning to do to me?"

"Sorry Holly that is a secret," Artemis said grinning.

Holly rolled her eyes and groaned, "Fine." Holly conceded and Artemis just laughed.

Artemis spent the next few weeks doing what he does best, planning. He had a window of about a month to two months to propose and the following to finish his plans. After which he had a 4 month period to prepare the wedding and finally execute the event just before fairy mating season began, so their honeymoon would be the start of it as well.

To keep Holly off his plans he would continuously take her on romantic elaborate dates so she wouldn't know when the proposal would be. He took her to ancient magical hot spots for picnics, they made a midnight ride to where Artemis kidnapped Holly, and Artemis even tried to get a shuttle from Foaly to visit the moon. Finally though Artemis made the preparations for the night he'd ask the big question

To Holly the day passed by like any other, mating season was now 5 months away. To everyone else in the manor the day was slow but highly anticipated. Holly spent the day relaxing around the grounds, she rode horses with Artemis and the twins in the morning, for lunch her and Juliet sparred in gym, and finally after dinner Artemis took Holly for a night walk around the grounds.

"It's a full moon tonight, full of magic," Artemis started as they walked along the medieval wall.

"It is beautiful. I should go complete the ritual it has been awhile for me."

"No need I have something to show you," Artemis led them to an oak tree in the middle of the grounds.

Has that always been there? I never noticed it before.

"No it hasn't," Artemis said answering her thoughts before she could voice them. "I had it moved here a few days ago and had it planted today for the full moon. It so you always can perform the ritual in safety in case some mud men try to kidnap you."

"Wow thank you Arty, I'm guessing you diverted some of the lake to create the river bend to complete it?"

"Of course," he answered smiling. Artemis casually picked out an acorn and handed it to Holly, "here try this one."

Holly took the acorn without a second thought, but instantly noticed it wasn't an acorn. It was too light and it felt wrong. Artemis noticed her confusion but simply watched as she began to examine the seed. Holly found the seal and opened it, inside was the Fowl ring.

Artemis took the ring from its shell and got on one knee, "Holly Short," he began his voice shaking. Holly was breathless, she knew it was coming but she couldn't help feeling the excitement and the surprise spread across her. "Will you make me the happiest Mud Boy and marry me?"

Tears were streaming down Holly face and overwhelming feeling of happiness, she had wrapped her arms around Artemis and was kissing him before she remembered she needed to answer. "Yes, Artemis I will marry you," and with that they embraced and kissed. Artemis placed the ring on her finger and they held each other feeling the magic of the moon all around them.
