Epilogue-One year later summer
Maya wiped her eyes as she held on to her most favorite person in the entire world. This was the first time they were ever going to be apart from each other and they both hated it. "I can't believe I have to let you go." Maya pouts stomping her foot. "This is so not fair!"
"I know the farthest and longest we've been apart is this." Riley gestures pulling back but keeping her hands on Maya's shoulders. "I can't do it." Riley cries as they pull each other back into their hug.
"You two realize you're only going to be apart for like two weeks right?" Josh tells them as they both turn their heads glaring at him causing him to hold up his hands and back up.
"Are you two still hugging?" Lucas asks readjusting his bag on his shoulder. "Brownie we have to go." Riley pouts as Maya pulls her back for another hug. "I don't want to see the world without you honey."
"I don't want to see it without you either Peaches!" Riley cries as Josh and Lucas pry them apart. Maya was off to Berlin to work at alte nationalgalerie museum for two weeks while Riley was offered to travel around Europe taking photos and writing about her experience.
Josh and her were going to join after since technically Riley asked Maya to tag along with her.
She was excited to be offered the chance to work at the museum. Although just like Riley she didn't want to be away from her.
"Girls come on." Josh tells them as he puts his arm around Maya's shoulder. "You guys are just jealous of our relationship." Maya tells him as she and Riley pinch their boyfriend's cheeks. Maya and Riley laugh when Josh and Lucas share a look and fake cry hugging each other.
"Final boarding call for flight..." Maya shakes her head blocking it out as her and Riley share a look again before hugging. "I'll miss you Peaches." Riley cries as Lucas pulls her off Maya walking away with her. "Take care of her Ranger Rick!" Maya yells out as Riley repeats it back to Josh.
Josh shakes his head at her as Maya playfully nudges him as they walk to get on their plane.
Maya looked around nervously checking everything on the plane as people passed by looking at her. "Ferret calm down." Josh whispers grabbing her hand and kissing it. Maya smiles at him as she takes a deep breath gripping his hand tightly. "Maya you've been on a plane before why are you so nervous?"
She shrugged as he tells her he was going to get her a cup of coffee to settle her nerves. He kisses her cheek as he gets up winking at her when he stops to talk to a flight attendant.
Maya smiled and then grabbed her bag pulling out her sketchbook staring at the one drawing she drew. The real reason she was a big bundle of nervous nerves well one of the reasons.
A single diamond ring she had found in his closet.
Not like she was looking for it or anything. Okay so she was looking for it. She had overheard him talking to his mom about marriage and when did she know his dad was the one. She knew he could just be asking to asks since she found out he was a big ole gooey romantic.
She didn't mind it though since he always let her draw him. That was their thing. He would be all sweet and she would draw him she had notebooks full of his face or side profile. Their relationship was amazing apart from their not sure what what it was fight.
She shook her head as she stared at the picture of the diamond ring tracing her finger over it. She debated with herself if marriage was the right thing for them. She wondered if it would be like when they moved in together. That started off rocky and when she moved back in with him Josh walked on eggshells around her.
It drove her crazy how he wouldn't say anything the first time she hadn't done the dishes. The second time she did it on purpose just to see what he would do. Everything between them was great and she loved living with him.
But it drove her insane so she did what he did to her at the beach house. She wiped the cake she had made all over him and the kitchen counter. Riley and Lucas refused to come into their apartment after walking in on them.
Things had been running smoothly for them she liked that unlike Riley and Lucas who were the stare at each other couple Josh and her were the get under each other's skin couple. She knew they both did it because that's who they were and how she wanted her relationship.
To be with someone who drove her to the brink of insanity of love and pushing her to pursue her passion and she loved every second of it.
"What has you all smiley?" Josh asks sitting down next to her as she closed her sketchbook. "Just thinking about the last time we had cake." She smiles rubbing at his cheek as she watches them turn pink. "Yeah that was a great time."
She smiles before chewing on her lip. "Do you think I'll be good at my internship?" Maya asks Josh voicing her other reason she was nervous. "I think the people at the museum knew what they were doing when they hired you gorgeous." She giggles as he kisses her head. "So long flight what do you want to do?"
Maya tapped her chin as she looks at him. "I think you know Boing." She wiggles her eyebrows at him as he chuckles nodding his head. "Make me look dashing Hart." Maya shakes her head as she pulls out her sketchbook drawing him.
She smiles shaking her head as he puffs out his chest pretending to hold a sword. The other people on their flight we're looking at them weirdly as Maya kept laughing as Josh posed differently for her.
Josh
"Boing carry me my butt is asleep." Maya whined as they got on the escalator. Josh shook his head as he held up their suitcases making her pout. "Gorgeous let's get to the hotel and then you can rest." Even though he knew she wouldn't want to sleep once she saw the city of Berlin.
Sure enough as soon as they stepped outside Maya's eyes lit up taking everything in. "Okay let's go ferret." He intertwined their hands as they catch a cab heading towards their hotel. As soon as they reach their hotel Josh had to carry her in since she was using her blue eyes on him.
"You'll lucky I love you and would do anything for you gorgeous." He kisses her head as they head inside. As soon as they get inside their hotel Maya runs into their bedroom throwing herself on the bed. Josh shakes his head knowing as soon as the bellhop left she was going to start bouncing.
"Hey Hart remember you have to be at work tomorrow so let's not have to take any trips to the emergency room." Josh shouts out to her as soon as he closed their hotel door. He didn't hear her anymore and went in to check on her shaking his head finding her asleep.
He kisses her head before covering her up and heading back to the living room. He looks at the door before pulling out the map of Berlin he had got at the airport. Their anniversary was coming up and he wanted to make it a memorable one for them.
He gets up checking on Maya once again making sure she was asleep before grabbing his bag. He dug in the bottom pulling out his book flipping to the last page. He smiles touching the engagement ring he had got for her.
He knew she knew he had it since she did a horrible job of putting it back where she found it. She started asking questions and he would find her staring at her ring finger from time to time. He chuckles to himself as he thought about it taking the ring out holding it in his hand.
He knew exactly how he wanted to propose and when but he couldn't help but want to mess with her before he actually did it.
"Josh I'm nervous." Maya tells him as she holds her stomach as they stand outside the museum. After putting the ring back Josh went to lay down with her and ended up falling asleep until the next morning. "Maya you'll be fine. Want to know how I know?" He asks getting down on one knee making her gasps.
"Josh.." she whispers as she shakes her head with a smile. "Cause of this." He smiles holding up the penny he found underneath her foot. He chuckles softly as she glares at him before turning to walk into the museum. "Have a good day!" He shouts as she waves her hand.
He chuckles as he heads off taking in the sights. He looked at his phone waiting for the one phone call or text that would put his plan into motion. He wanted everything to be perfect for him and Maya. He had already gotten Katy's permission now he was waiting for Riley's. Lucas was right by waiting until she was miles away and distracted to asks.
He walked around taking in the different buildings taking pictures. He stops to change his film when his phone rings holding it out once he seen who was calling. "Aah! Your asking Maya to marry you?! Aah!" Riley yells as people look weirdly at him.
"Riley calm down your going to make me deaf." He chuckles as she continued screaming into the phone as he hears scuffling. "Hey man I think we lost her." Lucas jokes as Josh can hear her singing in the background. "Okay I think she's better here she is." Lucas says as Josh says hold on.
"You know it's going to be a lot worse for you you know that right?" Josh jokes as Lucas chuckles saying he knew. "Uncle Josh you there?" Riley asks as Josh said yes. "You know you had my permission the moment you finally pulled your head out your ass right?" She giggles as Josh gasps.
"I'm telling Cory and Topanga." He shakes his head as she says they like her better. "Thanks Riley it means a lot." He tells her as he could tell she was smiling on the other end. "No need to thank me Josh just make sure you do it right. She's special." He chuckles nodding his head saying he knew.
"So how is working in the museum everything you imagined it to be?" Josh asked as they walked towards the botanical gardens museum. It was their anniversary and the last week they were in berlin and Josh had a plan up his sleeve.
"It's amazing." Maya tells him with a huge smile on her face. Everytime he asked she say the same thing. She go on about how he was right and she loved all the paintings she got to help bring in and talk about.
"Here we are my little ferret." She gasps as she sees the picnic blanket. "Boing this is amazing." Maya whispers as he smiles at her walking towards the blanket.
"Oh hold on." He tells her getting down on one knee again as Maya looks at him. "Sorry thought my shoe was untied." He tells her standing up as Maya glares at him.
He had been doing things like that to her since she looked through his bag for a sweater and found the ring again. He joked he was holding it for a friend and saying he had found it. He wanted to see how crazy he could make her.
"So do you like it?" He asks as he hands her the lily he was holding. She playfully glares at him as she begins to smile smelling it. "So I have all your favorites even some cake." He wiggles his eyebrows at her as she giggles shaking her head.
"Although we can't get crazy with it here." He gestures around them. "People." He whispers taking her hand kissing it. He hands her the food as they begin to eat watching her as she looked around the garden.
"Happy anniversary." He whispers sliding a box across to her as she widens her eyes picking it up. "I love Maya." He smiles opening the box as Maya shouts yes causing people to look at them. "Yes what?" He asks holding out the locket to her. She frowns as he rubs her cheek before putting the necklace on her.
He knew he was pushing it as he watches her fiddle with her locket as he cleaned up putting everything away. "Want to go for a walk around the river?" He asks as she nodded. He pats his pocket making sure he had the ring as he slipped his hand in hers twirling her as they walked.
"Oh did I tell you Lucas is thinking of proposing to Riley. Crazy right? Marriage?" He chuckles shaking his head as Maya stops glaring at him. "What?" He asks as she hits him with her purse making him smile. "Are you ever going to asks me to marry you?" She shouts as she continues hitting him.
"Yes I do." He tells her as he continues smiling at her as she looks at him with a confused expression. "What?" She whispers looking up at him. He gets down on one knee as Maya backs up holding her purse up. "Joshua Gabriel if you pretend to propose to me I'll kick you in your happy place."
Josh chuckles as he takes her hand in his. "Maya Penelope I meant what I said I love you and I want to spend every minute of every day with you. Whether it's watching you draw me or getting into a cake fight that leads to all good things." He wiggles his eyebrows at her as she smiles wiping her eyes.
"So gorgeous will you marry me?" Maya nods whispering yes as he slips the ring on her finger.
"I can't believe you were going to kick me?" Josh tells her as they sit along the river enjoying the cake he brought. "Hey you kept messing with me it was only fair." He chuckles as she stares at the ring smiling before looking at him.
"So Huckleberry really is proposing?" She asks as she takes a bite of the cake. Josh wipes the crumb from her lip as he nods his head. "Yup and he's pretty nervous about it to." Maya tilts her head looking at him weirdly. "Why?"
"He's afraid she'll say no because we got engaged." Maya laughed shaking her head. "I love that girl and wouldn't mind sharing this experience with her." She looks at him and smiles. "Oh and you too."
