S/R Chapter 12-

Claire is about ten months old now. She's been waking up less and less now in the night. She grew a strong bond with both me and Scorpius. She's been pulling our kitten Billie by the tail alot, but he manages to run when she touches him.

I was asleep in bed when I felt someone lightly touch my cheek. Opening my eyes, I saw Claire laughing and happy I was awake. She flailed her hands all about trying to clap them, gurgling happily. I smiled.
"Good morning, sweetie." I sat up play with her. "And goodmorning to you, too." Scorpius sat holding her up. He leaned over and kissed me. It was a beautiful Sunday morning and we usually would just sit in bed for a while; something we always do. Claire played with her stuffed bear in the between us.
"Rose." Scorpius took my hand, Claire reaching up at it, too. "I love you and Claire more than anyone else in the world." I studied him.
Where was he going with this? I felt a chill run up my arm. That's when he took a diamond ring out. "Marry me?" I felt the stupidest looking smile form onto my face. I knew how stupid I looked. I actually started laughing. "Yes!" I kissed him before he could say anything else. He slipped the ring onto my finger as I sniffed back a tear. I put Claire on my lap as she played with the ring.

The whole day we just sat and played with Claire as our celebration. We weren't inturrupted once.
"I went to your father to ask him. Before I even said anything, he said that I didn't need to come and ask him." "Really? I expected you to have to start begging." I laughed. "No. He said he knew how much we loved eachother and that if he had to choose anyone for his daughter to marry he would choose me." I couldn't help but laugh at that. "I want to wake up every day knowing you're at my side, that you're my wife." He said to me. "That's why I said yes, Scorpius. Because I love you."

Then next morning, we headed over to my parents. I sat with Claire on the floor, holding her up as she tried to put a fist in her mouth. She started laughing realizing she couldn't. Scorpius came out of the bedroom with Claire's coat. I tried putting it on her but she kept fussing. Scorpius took her and tried, getting it on in one try.
"How does she coorperate with you and not me?" I shook my head.
"You're jealous, aren't you?" Scorpius asked as he closed the last button on Claire's coat and handed her to me. "No...yes." I said guiltily. Scorpius laughed and kissed me. We walked a few blocks and used the village Floo Network, as we had no Floo Powder left.

We arrived at my parents' house a few moments after we left ours.
Mum came over and hugged me as soon as we arrived, Dad giving Scorpius a good clap on the back and saying "good job".
I guess everyone knew before me that he was going to propose. Even Claire. We had a whole celebration that day. Dinner, desserts,
and drinks. The whole time, Claire was passed from person to person. When she wasn't near me or Scorpius, she would start crying or reaching out accross the table for us. Whenever she sat on my lap, she'd play with the ring on my finger, or take her favourite stuffed bear and try and eat it.

Later on, Dad and Scorpius sat and played eachother in Wizard Chess. Mum and I sat with Claire. Mum used her wand to make little flowers grow around a lamp. Claire loved when someone performed magic. Her eyes would grow wide. We tried to do as much magic around her as possiable. We had once cast a charm that would set off little safe fire works so she would go back to bed.

We went home later that night. I put Claire to bed, then headed to my own. Scorpius stole a kiss from me as I put my head down. He heald onto me the entire night, I did the same to him.
