Chapter 11
"Yes, yes I will! Oh Max, of course I will!" Zoe beamed, her voice high with a mixture of excitement and happiness.
Max opened the box for her.
Zoe's engagement ring was silver, and in the middle of it was a blue diamond, she loved it.
"Max, it's gorgeous" she said as he stood up.
"Just like you" he smiled.
He then placed the ring gently on her wedding finger. Her breath hitched.
"Are you okay?" he asked, his voice full of concern.
"Yes, yes I am. I just can't believe this is happening" she smiled, then kissed him.
"I love you" he informed her as they went back inside.
"I love you too" tears twinkled in Zoe's eyes.
"Hey, it's okay" he put his arms around her and looked into her eyes.
"You're going to be Mrs Walker" he said.
"I definitely am." She realized with a big smile.
"Oh my God! We're going to get married!" Zoe continued. Max smiled.
"We are" Max answered.
"We're getting married!" Zoe repeated, pulling him close and kissing him.
She got her phone out of her pocket. "Let's take a selfie with me holding up my hand with my engagement ring on and put it on facebook" she said.
"Okay…" Max said as Zoe put her phone up in order to take the photo.
She put her hand up, and to her surprise, Max kissed her as she was taking the picture.
When they pulled apart, Max looked at their picture.
"This is so sweet! Look, Zo" he said excitedly.
In the picture, Zoe and Max were kissing, Zoe had a half-smile on her face and she was holding her left hand up.
Zoe put the picture on to facebook.
"I predict this thing will be buzzing like a bee with notifications when everybody sees our picture, so it can go off for a while." She decided, switching her phone off and snuggling into him.
"Do you remember when I delivered Fletch's wife's baby?" she enquired.
"How could I forget? You cried your eyes out afterwards" he held her tighter.
"Yes, because I believed that our life now would be impossible for me, that I'd never get to hold my own newborn baby in my arms let alone two, that I'd never hear their first cry, and certainly never dreamed of getting married to anyone, let alone you. I was so, so wrong, Max." she said, beginning to cry.
"These are tears of joy, right?" he asked, wiping her eyes gently.
"Yes, they are." She replied.
"Good, because, future Mrs Walker, I love you, and our twins very, very much. And it took me a lot of courage to ask you to become my wife, I'm so glad that you said yes" he said, kissing her gently.
A few minutes later, Zoe checked her phone.
"15 notifications and 5 texts… we just broke facebook!" she joked, giggling.
"Rebecca says congratulations, Dani says congratulations and good luck for tomorrow, and Robyn says "Congrats! Oh, and Max, look after her otherwise you'll have the ED to deal with!" and Tess has simply put a smiley face, so I think they're all happy!" Zoe continued.
"Good, Mrs Walker" Max replied.
"I'm not Mrs Walker yet!" his fiancée protested.
"Yes, but you will be soon!" Max said excitedly, Zoe pulled his head towards hers and kissed him, not wanting to talk, only to celebrate.
