Someday
(HPOV)
How the hell did we wind up like this I wished you'd unclench your fists, and unpack your suitcase
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
Try to turn the tables
Lately there's been too much of this
But don't think it's too late
The last couple of days have been perfect. I go to work and then come back to Dave's and spend the evenings with Jack and Emily and then the nights with Emily. Yesterday we had her Doctor appointment and the Doctor said that the baby was doing good but that she would be relieved when Emily gave birth so that Emily could start on the medication and chemo and radiation. They are going to continue keeping an eye on her closely so Emily has to go to the Doctor's again in two weeks.
Today was Saturday and Dave and I were out and about with just us two while Spencer, JJ, Jasmine were at Dave's house with Emily and Jack. Dave wanted to go to a jewelry story and I went with him because I wanted to look for a ring for Emily. I knew that I wanted her as my wife and I knew that Jack wanted her permanately in his life and wanted to call her mommy.
"So Dave you are going to propose to JJ?" I asked.
Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
Dave grinned and said "Yes, I am Aaron. And it looks like you also are ready to pop the question to Emily."
I laughed and said "You know actually I have been ready but I was to scared. But now I feel as if all is right and that it is time. Do you think she will say yes?"
Dave nodded and said "She loves you Aaron. She has since I have known her and I believe that she always will. I will tell you this much though. I love her like a daughter. Don't ever hurt her again."
I nodded and said "I promise Dave I will not ever hurt her again. I am sorry that I let my fears get in the way."
After that we both quieted down and went and looked in the display cases. Dave found the ring that he wanted after looking for twenty minutes. When I saw the ring I knew that it would be perfect for him and JJ. After Dave was done he came over to where I was looking at rings. We left that jewelers and headed to another one because I did not see anything that I liked. The next jewelry store we went to was not any different.
Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway
That we could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up staying
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Finally the third store we went to after forty five minutes of looking I found the perfect ring. It was eighteen karat gold and had a one point five karat princess diamond. It was in the shape of a heart. Once I showed Dave he smiled.
"I think that ring is perfect Aaron. She will love it." Dave said.
I smiled and said "As soon as I saw it I knew it was the one. When I propose to her I can also tell her that the ring symbolizes the fact that she is the owner of my heart."
Dave laughed and said "Okay that just sounded corny but Em will love it. Now lets go shopping for some baby stuff. I know that Emily will want to shop also but I think that you and I can pick the heavy stuff out. What do you think?"
Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when

I nodded and said "That we can. I think that it is a good idea. With as tired as she gets right now she does not need to do to much."
"I agree with you one hundred percent Aaron. The Doctor told her that she needed to take it easy anyways." Dave said.
I nodded and we both got into Dave's SUV and headed towards the mall to go look for a crib. I was getting excited as we got closer. Dave looked over at me and laughed.
"You are like a kid in a candy store Aaron." Dave said.
I laughed and said "Well this is going to be one hell of a surprise for Emily and I can not wait to pick stuff out. Did you know that Hayley picked everything out for Jack? She would not let me have a say so in anything."
Dave shook his head and said "No I did not know that. I wonder why she would not let you help."
Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway
That we could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up staying
Now the story's played out like this

I shrugged my shoulders and said "I asked her once and she bit my head off. She was always complaining that I was working too much but yet when I was home she never wanted a thing to do with me. I am glad that I have Emily. I love her with everything in me and more. I never felt this way with Hayley and I know that the way Emily feels for me that Hayley never felt for me. What does that say about me Dave?"
Dave looked over and said "What it says Aaron is that you are with the one woman that you should be with. You found your one true love. I feel the exact same way about JJ that you do for Emily and I never felt this way for any of my ex wives. I guess it just takes the two women we both know and love in some way to show us what we have always been missing. Now let's go pick out some stuff for your son and get back home to our women."
I laughed and said "Yes, let's go so we can get done. As much as I think I am going to like doing this I want to get home to Emily. I miss her even though we have only been gone for five hours."
Dave laughed and said "I know exactly what you mean. I miss JJ too."
With that we headed into the baby store. It took us another two hours to find the crib, changing table, swing, and stuff that Emily and I would need. In that time I texted Emily and asked her what color she wanted the nursery. Once she responded Dave and I went and picked up paint. Today was a very good day. I gave the delivery guy Dave's address for the stuff we ordered and they said they would deliver it tonight at six. I smiled as I thought about how big of a surprise it was going to be for Emily.
Dave and I hid the rings we bought today and also hid the paint in Dave's garage once we go back so that Emily would not see it. As soon as Dave and I walked into his house Dave went straight to JJ and pulled her into his arms and I went straight to Emily and pulled her into my arms. I smiled as I felt her pull me tighter to her. I leaned back and then down and kissed her.
"Hello, Sweetheart I have missed you today. I love you." I said.
She smiled and said "I have missed you too. Jack is down for a nap. What did you and Dave do today? And I love you too Aaron."
I smiled and said "You will see what Dave and I did later on. For now can I just sit down on the couch with you in my arms?"
She laughed and said "Yes, you can honey."
I sat down and she sat down next to me and I wrapped my arms around her. I looked around and smiled as I saw that Dave was sitting in one of the chairs with JJ on his lap and saw that Jasmine had fell asleep against Spencer's chest.
