Chapter 12: The Proposal

Morticia's POV

The time has gone by fast. Wednesday is 16, Pugsley is 11, Lucas and Wednesday are dating, and tomorrow is a very special day. Tomorrow is mine and Gomez's 17th wedding anniversary. I got him a new cigar lighter. It's just something he wants and needs.

"Mother!" Wednesday calls.

"I'm in my bedroom, Wednesday." I say.

"Daddy wants to see you in the cemetery." she says.

"Ok." I say.

I walk downstairs and outside through the conservatory door. It's the quickest way to the cemetery. I walk through the gate and up the hill where Gomez is standing.

"Tish, you are so beautiful." he says.

"Thank you, dear." I say.

"Your skin is so pale, eyes are so deep, and your dress is cut down to Venezuela." he says, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Thank you, Mon Amor." I say, blushing.

"Tish! That's French! Speak some more." Gomez says, kissing my arm and neck.

"Tomber Amoruse." I say.

"Yes, more." he says, continuing to kiss my arm and neck.

"Darling, do you know what tomorrow is?" I ask.

"Of course. Our 17th Wedding Anniversary. Speaking of that... shut your eyes." he says.

"Darling, it's not until tomorrow." I say, shutting my eyes anyway.

"I know. Just go ahead and open them." he says.

I open my eyes, and he is on bended knee.

"Morticia... Will you marry me again?" he asks, holding my hand.
"Yes! But I'm already married to you. But yes anyway." I say, smiling.

Gomez then kisses me, and soon we hear giggling behind us. We turn around to see Wednesday and Pugsley.

"Hello mother! Hello father!" Pugsley says.

"How long were you two standing there." I ask.

"Since daddy asked you to marry him again." Wednesday says.

Later, Lucas came over to pick Wednesday up for their date.

"Hello, Mrs. Addams." Lucas says.

"Hello, Lucas. Come on in, Wednesday is getting ready." I say.

"Ok." he says.

Lucas walks in, and soon Pugsley comes running in.

"Lucas!" he says.

"Hey, Pugs!" Lucas say.

"Mommy and daddy are renewing their vows!" Pugsley exclaims.

"Congratulations." Lucas says.

"Thank you." I reply.

"Darling, I thought I heard Lucas." Gomez says walking in.

"You did." I say.

"I heard you two are renewing your vows." Lucas says.

"Yes indeed." Gomez smiles.

"Congratulations." He says again.

"Thanks. I have a question for you." Gomez says.

"What?" Lucas asks.

"Will you be my Best Man?" Gomez asks.

"Sure." Lucas says.

Later, after Wednesday and Lucas come back from their date, we discuss the Wedding plans. We have decided that Wednesday will be Maid of Honor, Lucas will be the Best Man, and Pugsley will be the Ring Bearer. Alice will be my Bride's Maid, and Mal will be Gomez's Groom's Man. The ceromony is to be held tomorrow.
