Disclaimer: I don't own Full/Fuller House!
HOW WAS THAT TRAILER? OH MY GOSH! And I'm SO sorry for not writing. I survived finals, though!
To say Steve Hale was nervous was an understatement. He was sweating bullets and if you were to look under his armpits, I swear there would be sweat stains. It wasn't like they were going anywhere special. The two were just having a date night with a Harry Potter marathon.
Steve had the ring in his pocket and had been playing with it mindlessly since he put it in his pocket. Jasmine had sat him down and told him she was happy that he had moved on, that she was sure her mom was too. She loved D.J. and she was sure that there was no other women besides her mom, for Steve. Steve had just hugged his daughter tight and kissed her on the forehead, telling her how much he loved her.
"See you tomorrow," she had called as Kimmy, Ramona, Jasmine, the three Fuller boys and Stephanie left the house. Kimmy had booked hotel rooms for them because she was sure that when they celebrated being engaged, well…let's just say they didn't want the kids in the house…
"Deej, the movie's about to start!" Steve called. "What's taking you so long? We're supposed to be in our pajamas! You don't need makeup, you look perfect, get down here before Dumbledore shows up!"
D.J. rolled her eyes at her boyfriend's silliness. But, she loved him wholeheartedly, nonetheless.
"Coming!" she yelled back.
She appeared at the top of the stairs, and Steve swore if he could, he would've pulled the ring out right there and proposed to her. She had her red, silk pajamas on, with no makeup and her hair pulled back into a ponytail.
There was never such a more beautiful look for Donna Jo Tanner-Fuller-hopefully-soon-Hale, Steve though.
But, he wanted to wait until the first movie ended, at least. Though, knowing his nervousness, he probably would get to Fluffy and pull out the ring right there. No, he had to wait until the credits rolled.
D.J. came down the steps in her red, silk pajamas a few minutes later as the home screen of the DVD came up on the television screen.
"There you are," he said, giving her a kiss as they both sat down on the floor in front of the couch, sharing a bowl of popcorn and having two cups of Coke.
Steve was getting sweatier and more nervous as each important moment towards the finale passed during the movie. D.J. noticed, but didn't want to say anything, afraid he would get mad or lie. She decided she would just wait until Steve decided to tell her whatever was going on in his mind.
Finally, the movie ended and Steve took a few deep breaths, slowly turning to face D.J. He couldn't believe that this was happening. That finally he would be able to propose to this woman he had never stopped loving.
"Deej?" he asked.
"Yeah?" D.J. replied, turning to the sitting boy.
"We've been together for a few years, longer if you count our high school years. I have never stopped loving you, even after all those years apart and married to other people until we finally came back together. We love each other's kids and they get along, too, which is a miracle! You're supportive of me and I'm supportive of you. I am scared shitless right now, more scared than your father, actually. But, anyway, I love you so much. Donna Jo Tanner-Fuller, will you marry me?"
Partway through the speech, he had gotten onto one knee. D.J.'s hands covered her mouth and tears rained down her face. She was so shocked that she stared for a few moments at the beautiful ring that he held in his hands.
"Deej?" Steve prompted. "Kinda need an answer here…"
"Oh, sorry!" D.J. said. "Yes, yes, of course, a thousand times yes!"
She fell into his arms and they kissed passionately. He slipped the ring onto her left hand ring finger. As they broke apart she smiled at him hugely. She had wanted this since they first time they had been dating.
They had to call the group to celebrate that they were engaged. The kids were happy that their parents were happy, and they truly loved each other, too. They called all their friends and family, who were happy that Steve and D.J. had finally gotten the person that they belonged with after two decades. Everyone all around was happy about the engagement.
And D.J. and Steve "celebrated" all night long.
Sorry it took so long! This chapter was kind of sucky because I was rushing!
