Tristan was in her hospital room holding the twins. Jeff had went to get Catie from school. Ten minutes later Jeff and Catie walked through the door.
"Hi mommy." Catie said.
"Hi." "Catie, these are your brothers Nero James is on my left arm and Connor Matthew is on my right."
"They're so cute.." "Can I hold them?"
"Sure."
"Sit down and I'll bring you one of them." Jeff said. "Who do you wanna hold first?"
"Connor." Catie said. She sat down. Jeff handed her Connor. Connor looked at her. "Hi Connor." "I'm your sister Catie." "I love you."
Tristan looked at Jeff. "Should we tell her?"
"Yeah."
"What are you guys talking about?" Catie asked.
"Catie daddy and I are back together." Tristan said
"Really that's so great." She said happily.
"I knew you would be happy ." Jeff said.
A week later Tristan and the boys came home from the hospital. They all walked through the door. Catie was holding the car seat with Nero in it and Jeff was holding Connor's.
"Ok Tristan go up to bed and I'll bring you some lunch." Jeff said.
"Honey I can make Catie lunch."
"The doctor said you need your rest." "Go up and lay down and I'll bring you lunch."
"What about the boys?"
"Me and Catie have it." "Don't we Catie?"
"Yes." Catie said. "Go rest mommy."
"Ok." Tristan said. She went upstairs.
A half hour later Jeff came into Tristan's bedroom with a TV tray. She was sitting up. He put the tray in front of her.
"Come here." She said.
"What?" He said leaning down by her face.
She kissed him. "Thank you for taking such good care of me."
"You're welcome."
"When I'm feeling better I'll thank you properly." "We still need to celebrate getting back together."
"Do you have everything you need?"
She looked at the tray and noticed a little black box. "What's that?"
"Open it."
"Ok." She picked it up and opened it. She gasped when she saw a ring. "Jeff." She said with tears in her eyes. He took the ring out of the box and got down on one knee.
"I was going to wait until Christmas to ask you this but I can't." "Almost losing you made me realize how much you mean to me, how much I love you, how much I want a life with you." "Tristan, will you marry me?"
"Yes, of course I will." He put the ring on her finger. They kissed.
"Catie she said yes."
"Yay!" Catie said from downstairs.
