A/N: Continuation of the previous chapter. I wrote this really short chapter while listening to "Marry Me" by Jason Derulo, so that was the inspiration for Danny's proposal. Lots of fluff :D Hope you like it! (: As always, comments are always welcome.

And how amazing were FMYI and IBBW?! Mindy & Danny are too cute :3


The cab ride back home was tense. Mindy could feel the frustration radiating from Danny. It pained her that she couldn't do anything to help him, but she firmly grasped his hand, reminding him that she's still with him, that she's not going anywhere.

Danny was extremely disappointed. He felt like a failure. He had everything perfectly planned, but some couple had to get engaged in the same spot at the same time. Damn that couple. He certainly could have proposed afterwards, but he didn't want the memory of the proposal to be marred by the engagement of another couple just mere moments before. He wanted it to be perfect, and he wanted Mindy to have the spotlight.

They walked into their apartment, and Danny angrily took off his coat, forcefully hanging it on the coatrack.

Mindy couldn't take it anymore. She didn't like to see him angry. "Danny, is everything alright? Why are you so upset?"

"I'm fine. I'm just…" He put his hands on his hips, stared at the wall to his right, and sighed, not knowing what to say next.

Mindy's protruding belly lightly grazed Danny's stomach when she moved closer to him and fiddled with his coat lapel. She softly whispered, "Danny…Were you going to propose tonight?"

He slowly released his breath, realizing that he could no long hide this from her."Yeah...I was. I had everything planned out and-and I was going to do it on top of the Empire State Building, but that one guy proposed to his girlfriend, and…" He ran his left hand through his hair. "And I couldn't do it. Not like that, Min. I'm sorry." He looked at her with the most devastated look, and it broke her heart.

"Danny…" She closed the space between them, grasped the nape of his neck, threading her fingers through his hair, and tenderly kissed him. "Don't be sorry. I'm not. You can do it right now."

"What? Mindy, no. You don't want to get proposed to in the middle of our living room." He shook his head, refusing to do this here.

"No, I do," she replied softly. "So, Danny. What were you going to say? I literally have no clue what you were talking about." She gave him a smile as encouragement to continue.

He sighed, running his hand through his hair again before placing both hands around her waist. He looked intently and lovingly into her eyes. "Mindy?"

"Yes?"

"Mindy, I love you so much, and I can't imagine living one day without you. I want to wake up next to you every morning for the rest of my life; I want to go to sleep next to you every night for the rest of my life; I want to have mixed raced, sweaty babies with you; I want to grow old with you; I want to fight with you over the stupidest things like you dropping towels on our bathroom floor." Mindy sniffled and let out a small chuckle, wiping the tears streaming down.

"You make me the happiest man on the planet, and I'm so goddamn lucky to have you in my life. I don't know what I did to deserve you, and I don't know what possessed you to choose me or love me, but you did. I promise I will spend the rest of my life trying to be the man you deserve and trying to make you happy because you deserve the absolute best. You're my best friend, the love of my life."

He pulled out the small velvet box from his pant pocket and bent down on one knee, carefully opening the box, smiling up at her. "Mindy Lahiri, will you marry me?"

She sniffled and vigorously nodded. "Yes! Yes, of course I will marry you." She lunged forward as she tightly wrapped her arms around his neck. Danny stood up, carrying her with him, and spun her around, eliciting the happiest laugh he has ever heard.

He gently placed her back down. His hands were shaking as he took the ring out of the box and slid it into place on Mindy's finger. He enveloped her once again, not wanting to ever let her go. He withdrew slightly to kiss her soundly, pouring all his love for her into it. She responded enthusiastically, savoring and remembering the moment and the taste of his lips.
