Hey Guys. I really want to apologize for the long wait for this update. I really try to update as quickly as I can. My school work load has heavily increased lately. Thanks for all of the reviews and ideas. Now this one-shot idea is from Lois77. In this one-shot, Adam is twenty-five, Bree and Cara are twenty-four, Chase is twenty-three and Leo is twenty-two. Hope you all enjoy!

Adam's pov:

"Hey Mr. Davenport" I say walking up to his work desk in his lab, "Can I talk to you for a second?" He looks up from his computer desk.

"Yeah sure" he replies, "What's up?"

"Well…"

"Let me guess. You want fifty bucks to buy that new video game that came out last week? Here." He hands me a fifty dollar bill from out of his pocket. I shake my head.

"Mr. Davenport I'm twenty-five, I'm too old to play video games." Davenport laughs.

"Adam you just played a video game yesterday with Leo."

"Well that was yesterday. Today I'm a changed man." He stands up from his chair.

"Adam" he says concerned, "Are you ok? You're not sounding like yourself-"

"Mr. Davenport" I interrupt, "The reason why I came down here to see you, is because…I want to ask Cara to marry me." His mouth drops open.

"What?"

"I want to ask Cara to marry me..." He walks over to me and puts a hand on my shoulder.

"Oh Adam….that's a pretty big decision. Asking for her hand in marriage." I nod.

"I know."

"Marrying someone is a big decision. Are you sure you're ready for it?"

"I'm sure. Cara and I have been dating for seven years. I really love her." I put my right hand over my heart, "With all of my heart, I swear. She's the best thing I could ever have in my life. I know you're going to say 'There are many responsibilities that you're going to have to make' and I know that. I promise to take care of her and our children if we end up having any and-"

"Adam…"

"Yes." He then hugs me.

"I'm proud of you." We break our hug and he sits back down in his chair. "I knew this moment would come eventually; you would start to mature up, think about your future, and other important things." I see a tear fall out of his right eye. "Man time flies. I remember when I first started taking care of you and your siblings." He pauses, "And now you're about to move out of this house and…..I just don't know if I taught you everything you need to know." I grab a chair from across the room and sit next to him.

"Mr. Davenport. You've taught me everything I need to know for life. You don't have to worry." He smiles at me.

"Thanks" he replies.

"Thank you." He wipes the tear off his face.

"So, how are you going to ask her to marry you?" I shrug.

"I don't know. I was thinking that you had an idea of how to ask her."

"Adam, even though I'm great at inventing things, I have no creative ideas on how to ask Cara to marry you."

"How'd you ask Tasha?"

"I took her to the restaurant we had our first date at."

"Hmm maybe that's what I should do with Cara. I'll take her to that Italian restaurant we went to when we went to homecoming together!"

"That's a great idea Adam."

"Cool! I'll ask her there then!" I start to run out of the lab. I then stop and turn back around. "Wait….I have to buy a ring for her first and I have to-"

"Don't worry" Davenport assured me, "We'll all help you out with this." I smile.

"Thanks." I head towards the living room.


"Ok Adam" Tasha says to me, "I'm calling the restaurant to reverse a table for you and Cara Saturday night."

"Thanks Tasha" I tell her hugging her.

"We're out to buy you a tux" Leo says to me as he and Chase start to head out the front door.

"Come on Adam" Bree says pulling me off of the couch, "We have to go to the jewelry store to buy Cara a ring."

"Ok I'm coming" I tell her putting on my shoes. "Ok we're going now Tasha!"

"Ok" she says while on the phone, "Choose your ring wisely." With that, Bree and I leave.


"How about this one?" Bree asked me pointing down at a ring behind the glass. I stare at it for a long time.

"No" I reply, "I don't like it." Bree rolls her eyes.

"Adam" she tells me, "You've seen more than a hundred rings by now. Why can't you just pick one already? I'm sure Cara will love any ring you give her."

"I know. I just can't find the special ring though. You don't understand Bree it has to be perfect, sparkly-" I stop talking as I look over to my right and spot it. It was the most beautiful ring I've ever seen. It was very sparkly and pretty. It was perfect.

"Adam what were you going to say?"

"Never mind" I tell Bree, "I think I've found what I've been looking for…" I walk over to the part of the store where the ring is and I awe at for several minutes. I then point at the ring through the glass. "Bree, this is the ring I want for Cara."

"Wow Adam" she replies, "It's really pretty. You actually made a good choice for once." I smile.

"Thanks Bree." I buy the ring for Cara and then Bree and I make our way back to the house.


"Do I look ok?" I ask my family as I walk down the living room staircase dressed in my tuxedo. Tonight's the night when I take Cara out to dinner and ask her to marry me.

"For the a millionth time" Leo whines, "You look fine. Please don't go back upstairs and change again."

"Are you sure I do?" I ask nervously, "A strand of hair isn't sticking up on top of my head is it?" Tasha shakes her head as she leads me to the couch.

"No" she tells me, "Your hair's fine." Her eyes start to water, "Oh I've always wondered when this day would come and now here it is." She kisses my cheek, "I'm so proud of you honey."

"Thanks Tasha."

"Wow" Chase exclaims, "I can't believe how mature you've become Adam. You haven't teased me or hit me for almost two weeks!"

"That's because I'm a changed man Chase" I explain, "One day, you and Leo are going to go through the same phase where you'll start to mature up." I playfully slug him in the shoulder before I sit down. Bree sits down beside me.

"Adam you're sweating" she says glancing down at my sweaty hands and forehead.

"Yeah." I chuckle lightly, "I guess I'm kind of scared…"

"Well don't be. I just know she'll say yes."

"Yeah" Leo added, "I'm a hundred percent sure."

"Thanks guys" I say, "Wish me luck." I stand up from the couch and start to head out the door.

"Adam wait!" Mr. Davenport cried as he walked up to me, "You almost forgot this!" He hands me the case with Cara's ring in it.

"Oops. Thanks."

"You're welcome." He pats me on the back, "Good luck."

"Bye." And with that, I drove to Cara's house, picked her up and took her to the restaurant.


"Wow Adam" Cara said eating her spaghetti, "I remember when we ate here on our first date. Oh man that was such a long time ago."

"Yeah" I reply, "It was." I grab her hand.

"Isn't this the exact same booth we were in on our first date?"

"Yeah…it is" I answer, trying to act surprised. Turns out, Tasha's friend works here and she said she could have it to where Cara and I could sit in the booth that we had sat in on our first date. I clear my throat.

"Adam" Cara says sweetly, "Thanks for taking me back here. I really love it here."

"My pleasure" I reply. I decide that this is the time to ask her for her hand in marriage. "Uh…Cara?"

"Yes honey?"

"May I ask you a question?" She slowly nods.

"Sure." I slowly get up from my seat, walk over to hers and bend down on one knee on the floor. Cara looks at me surprised. I pull out the ring case from my pocket and open it, showing Cara the ring I had bought her. I guess everyone in the restaurant noticed my actions, because I heard people start awing at me.

"Cara Bridge" I say slowly, "Will you marry me?" The people around us gasp and awe at my words. I hear some people telling Cara to say yes. Cara puts a big smile on her face.

"Yes Adam Davenport" she says as tears fall down her face, "Of course I will!" I stand up and she hugs me tightly. Everyone around us starts to cheer. Cara and I then kiss.

"Adam" she says, "I love you with all of my heart."

"Same goes for me." I say smiling. After we finish eating, Cara and I drive back to our homes and inform our families that we are now engaged.

Hope you all liked that. I really had fun writing this one because I had to make Adam more mature than he usually is. Lois77 there will be a second part to this, but it will be after RandomGirlPerson's request :) So here's the list of whose one-shot idea is next,
