Chapter 29

The following months were blissful for both Paige and Emily. They'd spend the weekdays working, and the weekends exploring Boston. Emily had made a list of things that she wanted to do and slowly they began crossing things off.

Emily saw more of Hanna and Aria. Hanna was working in the New York fashion district, and Aria was an author in Boston with her husband Ezra, who was teaching at Boston College. Spencer would come up from D.C. is she was working on a political thing in Boston.

Paige worked for the same company for the following months, finding that the company was still the same and the people were just the same as they were in California.

Boston was so much more lively than Berkeley. They watched the New Year's fireworks, went to First Night, and walked around the North End. Pam and Wayne Fields visited a few times, which both of them enjoyed. Emily hadn't seen her parents that much since she left for college. She'd come home a few times, but by the time junior year rolled around, she only went home for a week during the summer.

"You know, I'm glad you too decided to move out here," Pam said, one night during dinner. "It's nice to see the two of you more often."

"I agree. I miss you pancakes," Paige smiled. "I keep asking Emily to teach me how to make them."

"I'll be sure to pass along the recipe," Pam smiled.

"So, how's work for the two of you?"

"It's great! The company is amazing out here, and much more productive than in California."

"I love it here, and work…there aren't words to describe how amazing it is."

A smile appeared on Paige's lips as she listened to Emily talk all about her job and all the famous people that she's met, and how her boss lets her work independently and gives her her own office. She loved how Emily loved her work and how into she got, but most of all she loved to see how happy Emily was.

Paige had thought about what Patrick had said, about putting a ring on Emily. She'd already bought the ring, in fact, she'd been carrying it around with her for almost a year. There were so many times that Paige wanted to get down on knee and propose, but she wanted it to be the right moment. She knew where she wanted to propose, but they'd never been back there since the summer before college. Patrick's wedding gave her the moment that she was looking for.

May rolled around quickly for the both of them. They'd already put in time extra time so that they could take a week off for the wedding. They flew out to LAX, where Christine picked them up. They spent that night in Paige's old bedroom, before heading out to Big Sur the next day. The McCullers's family had book the site for three days and Paige had made sure to get a cabin for the two of them for the rest of the week.

"Paige!" Patrick called from entrance.

"Pat!" Paige smile. Pat pulled her into a tight hug, before wheeling over to Emily.

"Emily! It's great to see. I'm so glad you could make it out for the wedding," he said, pulling Emily in a hug.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Well. I'll let you two settle in. Drinks will be around 5 in the lodge before dinner."

"Sounds great!" Paige smiled.

They drove down the road a little way before they pulled up in front of their cabin. There were five other cabins circling in a ring around a fire pit. Paige explained to Emily that Erin's family was also staying in the surrounding cabins, along with Paige and her parents.

They quickly unpacked, and changed into appropriate attire before walking up to the lodge. There were at least thirty people in the lodge already. Emily recognized Pat and Erin, Paige's parents, and a few people that Paige had introduced her to before the wedding.

An elderly couple came up to the two of them. Paige seemed to recognize them instantly and began giving them hugs.

"Em, these are my grandparents," Paige said, introducing them to her. She made the connection instantly; they had similar features to Christine McCullers's.

"It's nice to meet you," Emily smiled, giving both of them warm hugs.

"Oh, she's so beautiful Paige. You picked a good one," Paige's grandmother said. Emily felt her cheeks grow bright red. The comment didn't seem to both Paige.

"Yeah. I'm just happy that she loves me back," Paige laughed.

"Aw. How long have you two been together?" From the conversation, Emily guess that Paige didn't see them or talk to them very much.

"Six years." The comment seemed to have shocked Paige's grandmother a bit. She glanced down at both of their hands as if to look for a ring. She seemed slightly disappointed when there was no ring to be found on either of there fingers.

"Oh my, congratulations to the both of you."

"Thanks, grandpa."

Paige introduced her to a few more people. She met Erin's parents, Phil and Margo, and her sister, Heather. They seemed like a very nice family and the more time she spent with them, the more she realized how much they love Paige and her family, and how much Paige and her family love them.

They had a pleasant dinner before heading back to the cabin. Phil started a fire and they sat around drinking beers for the next few hours, before the bride and groom, eventually retired to the cabin. Emily enjoyed her time with the two families. She loved listening the stories everyone had to tell, her and Paige told a few too.

"You wanna take a walk?" Paige asked, as the fire was starting to die down.

"Yeah," Emily yawned. Paige wrapped an arm around Emily, and held her tightly as they began to walk down the path. Emily heard the sound of running water a few minutes later

They took a seat on the rocks in front of the river. Paige had brought a blanket, that she threw over the two of them.

"I can't believe it's been so long," Emily sighed, looking up at the starry night.

"I know." Emily curled up next to Paige and rested her head on her chest.

"I wanna get married here…" Emily whispered. "It's beautiful here."

"One day Em, I'd like to marry you," Paige whispered, kissing the top of Emily's head.

"I'd like that…a lot."

The wedding was the following day. Paige spent most of the day with Patrick, helping him get ready. Emily helped Christine and Nick get the lodge ready for the wedding. It was a little after noon, when they both returned to the cabin to get ready for the wedding.

"You look amazing," Paige said, coming up behind Emily and wrapping her arms around her.

"So do you," Emily said, giving Paige a quick kiss before returning to her make-up.

"I was thinking that we could stay here a few more days after the wedding…if you're okay with that."

"Seriously? We can do that!" Emily said excitedly. "I'd love to."

"Great because I already reserved this cabin for a few more days."

"Sometimes, I wonder when you're going to stop doing little things for me."

"I'll never stop, and you love them," Paige smiled.

"I do love them," Emily said, turning to face Paige. "You ready?"

"More than ready!"

The wedding was beautiful. Paige swear she caught Emily shed a tear or two, during the exchanging of the vows. Paige herself felt her choke up a couple of times. She gave a short speech for the wedding, along with Erin's sister Heather.

Receptions was full of live and love. The dance floor was always occupied and Pat was always ripping up the dance floor with his moves. Paige and Emily dance for a few songs and made sure to dance for the slow songs along with the other couples.

The wedding was unlike any wedding Emily had ever been to. This wedding was so full of life. Everyone was dancing with anyone. There wasn't a moment of awkward silence during any of their conversations. Emily never found a dull moment during their three days there. In fact, Emily became close friends with Heather, who worked out in Boston as a newspaper editor.

It was well past midnight and the party was still rolling. It wasn't until three in the morning that Pat and Erin finally retired for the night. The party soon died down within the hour. Paige and Emily returned to their cabin and changed out of their formal wear. They headed down to the river to watch the sunrise, before calling it a night.

Nobody was up for breakfast that morning. It was around lunchtime that people starting rolling out of their cabins. Paige woke around noon. Emily was still fast asleep when Paige left for the lodge.

Paige found Patrick, Erin, and Heather sitting at a table. All of them looked like zombie eating lunch.

"Hey! Look who decided to wake up!" Pat laughed, catching sight of Paige.

"Look who decided to throw a rager last night," Paige laughed. "So how are the newly weds?"

"Oh god, they won't stop the PDA," Heather said, causing Paige to laugh.

"You'll know when ya'll get married," Erin said, giving Pat a quick kiss

"Speaking of getting married…" Paige said.

"YES! Finally," Pat shouted happily. He grabbed Paige and pulled her into a hug.

"I haven't asked her yet, but I was going to this week, while we're still here," Paige said, pulling out the box.

"Paige, you still carry this around with you?" Pat asked. Pat had gone with Paige to help her pick out the ring a year ago.

"Everywhere I go," Paige replied shyly.

"Well it's a beautiful ring Paige," Erin said, looking the ring over. "She'll love it."

"I just nervous that she'll say no…"

"Really, Paige. How long have you two been dating…like six years?" Pat started. "Trust me you have nothing to fear. I see the way she looks at you. She definitely loves you."

"Speaking of love, you might want to hide that," Erin said, motioning to Emily, who had just entered the lodge. Paige quickly pocketed the ring, just as Emily approached the table.

"Hey babe," Paige said, giving Emily a morning kiss.

"Oh god not you too," Heather said, turning away. Emily looked at Paige confused, but Paige just laughed along with Erin and Pat.

"Look who's the single on out," Erin teased.

"Ha…Ha…very funny. I'm going to grab some coffee. Anyone want coffee?" Everyone raised their hands. "God, you people."

"So, Paige tells me that you two are staying here for the rest of the week." Pat said, smiling.

"Yeah. It's kinda nice to get away for a little while, plus this place is absolutely beautiful."

"That's for sure. I was thinking that would could start up our family vacations here again."

"Mom and dad would love that," Paige commented. "This wedding was great."

"Then it's official. The McCullers's will officially be vacationing here every summer," Pat declared.

They spent the rest of the day with Paige's and Erin's family. The following day the rest of them checked out and it was just the two of them left. They spent the first day lolling around, hiking, swimming, whatnot. The second day they hiked one of the mountains here the cabins. That night, Paige cleaned up dinner, while Emily got a fire going. Paige turned on some music on her way out of the cabin and joined Emily next to the fire.

"You know. I think that this might have been the best week so far."

"I think so," Paige said smiling. "Dance with me?"

"Always," Emily smiled, taking Paige's hand.

Paige wrapped her arms around Emily's waist and pulled her close. Emily wrapped her arms around Paige's neck, and rested her head on Paige's shoulder as they swayed to the soft music.

"This reminds me of our first time out here."

"Dancing by the fire should be our thing shouldn't it?"

"Yeah…it should be…" Emily said smiling. "I could stay like this forever."

They dancing for a few more minutes, before Paige twirled Emily around and got on one knee. At first Emily didn't realize what was happening, but as soon as she saw Paige reach into her pocket, she realized what was happening.

"Paige…" Emily choked.

"Emily…I want to spend years dancing with you beside a fire, I want to be able to hold you in my arms as my wife, and kiss you from dawn till dusk. I want to love with you everything I have, and I want to make these six years that we've spent together an eternity. I want to be beside you for the happiest moments in your life, and I hope that you want the same. I love you so much Emily Fields, and I would love it if you would marry me," Paige said, holding out the ring in front of her.

"Yes…yes, yes, yes," Emily said happily, pulling Paige into a tight hug. "Yes!" She pulled Paige into a passionate kiss before slipping the ring onto her finger. "Emily McCullers…I quite like the name…" Emily twirled the ring around on her finger happily, before kissing Paige again. "It took you long enough." She joked.

"I wanted to wait for the right moment…" Paige said, wrapping her arms around Emily. "I think this was the right moment."

"I think you'd be right," Emily said, leaning in for a kiss.

"I love you Em."

"I love you too Paige."
