The spring semester had begun. There was only one more semester before I was done with high school. I was a little excited about it, but there was also part of me that was a little sad that after the semester, I wasn't going to see some of the friends that I made again, especially since I didn't know what Cara and Daisy were doing for college. You know, I really hadn't hung out with Tina much this year. I actually was pretty sure that I hadn't even seen her very much at all, which didn't make sense because she was still in New Directions.

At lunch, all of the girls decided to crowd around Sadie to see how her summer with Sam had gone before they had broken up. She was a sophomore and he was a junior, so they still had time to figure it out.

"Come on, Sadie, you need to spill." Rachel urged.

"It went a little something like this." Sadie said before she started singing.

Got my first real six-string, bought it at the 5 and Dine
Played until my fingers bled, it was the Summer of 69
Me and some guys from school had a band we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married should have known we've never get far

And when I look back now that summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice you know I'll always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the Summer of 69

And now the times are changing look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes I play that old six-string I think about you wonder what went wrong

Standing on your momma's porch you told me that it'd last forever
Oh the way you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the Summer of 69
It was the summer of 69
Me and my baby in 69
It was the summer, summer, summer of 69

"So you're saying that there was hot sex?" I asked.

"What?' Sadie replied.

"That song is about sex." I answered.

"No it's not." Rachel argued.

"Yeah, it is. 69 refers to 69 position." I explained.

"Can we stop talking about this?" Sadie asked.

Later we went to Glee club where we had a new co-director. The merger meant Will and Anna were going to be working together.

"So for starters, I have an announcement." Will declared. "It's not about what you can see. Miss Walker will be joining us, but the real announcement is that I'm going to ask Miss Pillsbury to marry me."

"That's great. We totally know you won't screw it up this time." Lucy replied. The less we mentioned Terri the better.

"This is the kind of news that you share with your family and you guys are my family." He told us. I hoped he planned on telling his parents. I had met them once during the Christmas when I was living with him. "That's why I want you guys to help me come up with a song to propose with. The assignment for the week is to come up with epic romantic songs."

I knew who the best person for helping me come up with a romantic song was. I also thought that we needed to start preparing to face the Warblers at Regionals. I also wanted to find a way to get Sadie and Sam back together.

Later at home, I was preparing dinner with Jessa. I was making chili because I knew that Beth liked it. It would be ready when she got done with her nap. I wore a black mesh dress with ballet-style wrap stockings and red heels.

"So, Will wants to propose to Miss Pillsbury." I stated. "He asked us to help come up with songs for the proposal."

"Did you have something in mind?" She asked.

"No, it was kind of something that I wanted your help with." I replied. "You know I can't help but wonder if we should be talking about getting married ourselves. We have been together a while after all."

"Well I wouldn't dream of marrying you while you're still in high school." She declared.

"It is generally more accepting when there's a kid involved." I pointed out.

"Just know for right now. It's a no." She responded. "I think we should wait."

The following day at school, I was in the bathroom with Cara. We were doing our makeup. The one thing that I didn't like about being a goth was how much longer the makeup took.

"So I take it that you are still not interested in being in Glee club." I said as I applied my eyeliner

"I can't sing or dance." She responded. "I know you are Daisy are there, but it's not for me."

"Okay." I replied. "So let's talk about romance. Are there any girls that you have eyes on by chance?"

"If I tell you, do you promise not to try to set us up?" She asked. She really did know me well.

"Yes." I promised.

"Well, I've liked Daisy as more than a friend, but I've never been able to tell her." She responded. "Also, as my friend, you are obligated not to tell her. It's a secret that is supposed to stay between us and maybe your girlfriend."

I sighed. I hated keeping secrets, but I promised my friend.

Once I got to rehearsal, we had our first proposal song. This one was courtesy of Kathryn and Blaine.

You seem quite nice for a girl with good looks
And I'm the kind of fell that will make you feel better when your life gets shook
So give it a chance, according to your plan
I bet I'm not number one on your list to kiss but please understand

You seem quite shy but you're oh so cute
And I'm the kind of girl that would love to be yours if you ask me to
So just take a chance, try to hold my hand
I swear I'[d never let go, just me let me know if you'd be my man

I really want to come out and tell you

Oh darling I love you so
If you'd ask me for my heart there's no way I'll say no
Oh darling just take a chance please
So we could stay together till hell starts to freeze

So I gotta ask you I can't be afraid
I gotta take a chance at a love so what do you say

Oh darling I love you so
If you'd ask me for my heart there's no way I'll say no
Oh darling just take a chance please
So we could stay together till hell starts to freeze
Oh darling I love you so
If you'd ask me for my heart there's no way I'll say no
Oh darling just take a chance please
So we could stay together till hell starts to freeze

"I don't think that song was right for us." Will stated. You know he was the one that asked us to do it.

I could tell that she was a little bit pissed off when she left and decided to talk to her about it.

"Are you okay?" I asked. "You know he didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

"It's the hormones that are making me moody." She explained. "It's something that I'm going to have to deal with for the rest of my life."

"Are you okay with that?" I questioned.

"Yes, I want to be a woman and I'm pretty sure that I will be around graduation." She answered. "My dad does get a bigger salary as a congressman than as a mechanic."

"Doesn't that also mean that he is around less?" I asked.

"It's different, but I know he is busy changing the world." She replied.

"You know first-term congressmen don't have a lot of pull." I pointed out. "That's why Sue's platform probably would have fallen flat."

After school, I went home and since Beth was having another nap, got into bed with Jessa.

"You know I really like being in a bed with you." I told her.

"Well I happen to quite like it myself." She told me. "You know when I got my grades back for UCLA, I panicked. I didn't know what to do. If not for you, I don't know where, I'd be. I'd probably be stripping or something."

"I don't believe that." I responded.

"It's true. I was having a bit of an existential crisis. I really don't think LA was for me, or maybe I was just lost without you."

"Please tell me that you're not about to start singing that Robin Thicke song." I remarked. I sincerely hoped that would be the only song that he ever got. The guy sucked. We did not need a white R and B singer.

"So when we do get married, what do you want to do?" She questioned. "I know I don't want to wear a tux."

"I don't like the idea of women wearing tuxes." I stated. "It enforces gender roles, which is one reason that people don't take gay relationships seriously. Anyway, we can focus on whatever we're going to do when we get married later. Let's just focus on Will's proposal right now. I finally found out what song I'm going to sing."

"Which one?" She asked me.

"Mommy, Mama, are you in there?" Beth asked from outside of the door.

"We'll be right out." I declared as I hurried to get dressed. Raising a child wasn't easy sometimes.

The following day, I was singing my proposal to idea in Glee. I hoped he would like it and I couldn't help but wonder what Anna would think of it.

Well I got lost out there in this world
Looking for a brand new way to fall down
It's no surprise that things have gotten worse
But I thank God you never let me drown

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
I didn't have to let myself get so far gone
I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone
I didn't have to die to go to Heaven, I just had to go home

Into the arms of my angel, into the piece I left behind
All I had to do to save my own life was to look into your eyes

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
I didn't have to let myself get so far gone
I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone
I didn't have to die to go to Heaven, I just had to go home

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
I just had to go home, I just had to go home
I just had to go home, I just had to go home

"I don't really think that that song is right either." He replied.

"Mr. Schue, with all due respect, I don't think you want us to choose the song and we shouldn't have to." I declared. "I think that it's a great idea to have us sing the song while you propose, but as for the song, I think it should be something that you choose."

"She's right, Will." Anna agreed. "If you were asking me to marry you, I'd be more appreciative if I knew that you listened to your heart. I'm actually going to take things a step further. I think you should sing the song to her yourself."

"Okay, you both are right." He agreed. "But I still would like it if you all could be there for me."

However, I decided to talk to him before he delivered his proposal because there was something on my mind. It was probably something that he wouldn't like to hear.

"What's on your mind, Faith?" He asked.

"Are you sure that you want to do this?" I replied. "You've been dating a while and you've never had sex and you know that she didn't have sex with Dr. Howell even after they were married. Are you sure that she'll want to with you? I know you want to have kids. Not to mention your first marriage didn't work out."

"I appreciate your concern, Faith, but yes I do want to do this." He answered. "Emma makes feel good, like I never did with Terri and even though we've never had sex with each other, I think she will be a good mother. Now if you excuse me, I have a proposal to make and I want you to be there."

We headed to the auditorium. I was going to be playing piano for the song while everyone else was going to be singing backup or dancing.

Heart beats fast, colors and promises
How to be brave, how can I love when I'm afraid to fall
Watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still, beauty and all she is
I will be brave, I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love for a thousand more

After the song was over, Will went out to the audience where she was sitting and then he took out the ring.

"Emma Rose Pillsbury, will you marry me?" He asked her.

"YES!" She screamed before giving him a kiss.

So she said yes. You knew that she would. Not to mention, Cara likes Daisy. The songs are "Summer of 69" by Bryan Adams, "Oh Darling" by Plug-In Stereo and Cady Groves, "Heaven" by 3 Doors Down and "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri.
