I'm sure most of you know what is coming…kinda obvious by the title…enjoy!
Denny walked back into their new room and sat down on the bed. He took out the trinket that Meredith had given him. He took a deep breath. This shouldn't be that hard, he thought to himself, She already said yes once. With that thought, he walked back into the dining room.
Izzie looked up at him when he walked back in, anxious to see what he had in store for her. He pulled his chair up closer to hers and sat down. He took both of her hands in his. "Izzie," he started, "This last month has been amazing. Everything you have done for me has been above and beyond what I ever expected of you. I mean, you bought and decorated a house for us all on your own. I am so ready to spend the rest of my life with you, to watch our children grow up, to watch you sleep, to watch our sunsets together on the porch. I am ready to be with you forever." Izzie started to blush. Denny started again, "I thank God everyday that I was able to pull through, to be with you. I would have given up if it wasn't for you. Izzie," he said as he got down on one knee, "Will you give me the opportunity to pull through for you everyday, to spend eternity with you. Will you marry me?" "Denny, I already said yes," Izzie told him. "I know," he said, "but this time," he pulled the box out of his pocket, "I have a ring." Izzie gasped. Inside the little box Meredith had brought to Denny was a beautiful silver heirloom ring. She held her hand out and Denny slipped the ring on. "Yes," she said, "Yes, I will spend eternity with you. They both stood up and kissed. After the fire cooled down a bit, Izzie started to ask questions, "Where did you get this?" "I had Meredith bring it out. It was at my apartment. It was my grandmothers, I was saving it for the woman I loved," he told her. "Denny, I've never seen anything like it, It's beautiful," she stared at the rock in amazement, "God, what did I do to deserve you?"
They cleaned up the kitchen together, Izzie making sure Denny didn't do to much work. She kept looking at the ring. Wait until she told the others. Unless Meredith got to it first. She glanced over at Denny, who was washing a plate in the sink. Izzie leaned back against the counter just starting at him. He is perfect, she thought. At that moment, she memorized every line in his face, every contour of his body. He was so handsome. She walked over to him and took the dish he was washing out of his hand and sat it back in the sink. "Leave the dished," she said, "I've got a better idea." She led him over to the couch, where he sat down. She sat next to him, laying her head in his lap. "Can we just sit here," she asked. "I would love nothing more," he told her, as he started to stoke her hair. And there they sat, lost in each others thought. Izzie thought about the wedding she would be planning and Denny thought about life with Izzie. It would be an adventure, no doubt. He chuckled at the though of her 50 years from now. Barley able to walk and still running around like a crazy woman. That would be his Izzie. He looked down at her and again, she had fallen asleep. But he thought to himself that she had been taking care of him for the last 24 hours. He let her sleep and kept stroking her hair. Denny eventually drifted off by the warm glow of the fire, his hand around Izzie's shoulders. Life was perfect.
