He drives us to Central Park and parks the car pulling out my gloves and hat before I even asks for them. I put them on still wondering what he was up to he seemed to giddy with excitement like when my uncle Shawn comes to town.

"Okay I'm going to get us hot chocolates and you go find us a good spot to build our snowman." He tells me putting on his own gloves and hat. I eye him curiously and he smiles and says "no tricks honey I thought since you couldn't leave we do something special plus look."

I turn around and start smiling and run yelling "uncle Shawn!" He lowers his camera and shakes his head hugging me. "Hey kiddo." I smile wiping the snow from my face and Shawn takes my picture.

"I see why dad is all giddy now." Shawn looks at me and I lift my eyebrow. He chuckles and says "yeah you know your dad." We start walking while my dad goes and gets the hot chocolate. I start making my way over to Lucas and my spot when I get a little sad seeing there were already snowman built along the way.

"What's the matter?" Shawn asks when I stop walking. I gesture to the snowman and he chuckles and takes a picture of them walking ahead of me. "Hey look they have something on them." He shouts gesturing for me to come look.

I make my way over and suddenly hear Ed Sheeran "Photograph" playing on a radio or speaker. I get closer noticing Shawn wasn't there anymore and look around calling his name. I start to get a little scared and then notice there was something on the snowman.

I get closer noticing it was a picture and gasps when I see its one of Lucas and I. I go to the next snowman and see it's another picture of us. I look and see that all the snowman that were built had a picture of us. I smile and look around but still didn't see anyone.

I start singing along with Ed Sheeran and pick up every photo smiling at the memories. I get to the last one and see it has a cowboy hat on and something else. I get closer noticing it was my locket. Right when I reach for it I hear his voice. "Told you it would turn up eventually."

I smile with tears in my eyes as Lucas walks up to me taking the locket off the snowman and putting it in my hand. I hear it rattle and go to open it when he stops me. "Kiss me so I know I'm not dreaming." I whisper when he cups my cheeks. He grins rubbing them and kisses me.

"I'm real Ri." He whispers resting his forehead on mine. He wipes the tears that start falling and I hold up the pictures of us I collected. "You know when I sent these to you I didn't expect to find them on snowmen and what are you doing here?"

He chuckles and says "I had to see you and since you had a life changing decision to make I wanted to support whatever you decide." I bite my lip forgetting about turning down the job and look at Lucas. "Actually I'm.." "hold on can I say something before you tell me?"

I nod my head and smile when he steps back and rubs his neck. "My favorite thing in this world is when you talk to me." My cheeks heat up and he rubs them making me giggle. "There isn't a day that goes by where I don't want to be anywhere but where you are. My life is always brightest when you are in it. You've been my best friend since we were six."

He opens my hand holding the locket taking something out and placing the locket around my neck.

"I've been insanely in love with you since before I knew what that word meant and most importantly that very day I saw you push your glasses up and ball your tiny little fist to hit billy for knocking the head off your snowman." The tears start to fall and I gasps when Lucas got down on one knee.

"To me your a princess and I told myself my moment would be my moment and this is it. I choose you Riley Grace Matthews and I really hope you choose me. Will you marry me?" I smile when he holds up the ring and get on my knees in front of him and kiss him.

"What she say?!" Someone yells followed by someone else shushing them. I laugh and tell Lucas. "I do. I always did." He smiles putting the ring on my finger and kisses my face making me laugh. We stand up and he lifts me shouting "she said yes!"

All our family and friends come over and congratulate us. I see our moms hugging with tears in their eyes and I see Maya and Josh. "Peaches what are you guys doing here?" She hugs me looking at my ring and says "you think I miss my best friend get engaged?" I wipe my eyes and smile looking at Lucas.

My uncle Shawn I didn't even notice was taking pictures of the whole proposal and I see my dad on the side with him. I walk over with Lucas and hug him. "Thank you daddy." He laughs and says "thank you for what?"

"For not stealing Lucas shoe while he propose to me." He playfully glares at Lucas and says "well he asked for my permission awhile ago and as much as it pained me since your mother wouldn't stop pinching me until I said yes I gave him my blessing." My mom walked up hugging me and says "I'm so happy for you Riley."

I smile and Mrs. Friar comes up and they both hug me looking at my ring and squealing talking over each other and putting their wedding talk plans back in motion and already talking about grandkids.

I hug Lily and Ethan and then the twins who were giddy with excitement like my dad was earlier. "Aunt Riley you can read your fortune now." I tilt my head and Mary Jane runs over to Lucas and comes back with the paper. I open it and smile giving them both a hug.

We head to the bakery since the snow was starting to come down a little harder than earlier. "Hey hold on a second." I tell Lucas pulling him back as everyone heads inside the bakery. He looks at me and smiles grabbing my cheek and kisses me.

I start to shiver and he rubs my arms and says "Ri your cold let's go inside?" I shake my head and say "it's not from the cold. I'm just so happy to be here with you right now." Lucas smiles and says "I know me too." I put my arms around his neck and we start to sway.

"When do you go back to school?" He shakes his head and says "I'm thinking of trying online and checking out the schools in Ireland." I look at him weirdly and smile kissing him. "Well I don't know why you would be there when nobody you know lives out there."

I bite my lip watching as he puts together what I said. He looks at me with wide eyes and smiles. "You aren't taking the job?" I smile shaking my head and say "why would I do that when my heart is in Texas." He pulls me close and lifts me off the ground kissing me.

"Hey lovebirds come inside before you catch a cold!" Zay shouts from the steps. We laugh and I say "I love you Mr. Friar." He grins and says "not as much as I love you soon to be Mrs. Friar." I giggle and we walk down with Lucas shouting I was staying and not taking the job.

I ended up moving to Texas with Lucas and opening a bakery with Elizabeth help and still had the one in New York with Zay and Sandy running it. We got married on New Year's Eve neither of us wanted a long engagement. I planned to open another bakery but I got pregnant with the twins and I became a mother letting my bakery run itself for awhile until I had them.

Two years later December

"So that's our story." I tell Dolores as she enjoyed a cup of coffe and I had a hot chocolate with pastries at the bakery waiting for Lucas to come in. "Sorry I'm rambling about something you already knew about." She laughs and sips her coffee. "It's still a love story I love to hear. Tell me about the wedding? I'm sorry I missed it."

I smile and say "Had the ceremony in Texas under the arch Lucas grandparents got married under. The ceremony did get delayed when my dad walked me down the aisle and then when he was supposed to give me away stole Lucas shoe and ran. My mom ended up tripping him in the grass."

Dolores laughs and I show her the video Zay recorded on his phone. "Oh my your dad is something else." I laugh and say "that he is." At that moment Lucas comes in with the twins. "Mama!" They shout together when they see me. I bend down hugging them. "Hey Dolores. Sorry we're so late." Lucas tells her as they hug.

"That's alright Riley here was telling me your story and it's amazing just like the first time I heard it. So who are these two adorable little ones?" The twins hide behind Lucas and I say "on the left is little Lucas Eugene junior and on the right is Joseph Cornelius."

She looks at me weirdly and I smile and say "lost a bet to my dad." She smiles and and looks at me. "What about the little one there?" I look at her and she points at my little bump. I look at Lucas and I say "that's Penelope Lola Friar. Lola short for Dolores." She gasps and covers her mouth as tears fill her eyes.

"Riley I don't know what to say." I grab her hand and say "you don't have to say anything i consider you my angel who stopped me from choosing a path I didn't want." She hugs us and we talk a little more we head out. "Wait." She says stopping us. "I always wanted to know what was the fortune your nieces gave you?"

Lucas and I laugh and I open my locket pulling out the paper and showing her. "It had only two words." She reads it and lightly laughs "Riley Friar. I guess they're psychic." We laugh and say goodbye walking around the park with the twins.

"So Mrs. Friar I have a question?" I smile at him and say "what is it Mr. Friar?" We stop and help the kids make snowman and he says "so am I your favorite Friar?"

I smile looking at the boys and rub my stomach and say "well you're definitely in the top five of my favorite Friars." He playfully glares at me and I throw a snowball at him. Resulting in a snowball fight with the twins.

The end. Hope you enjoyed the story.
