Chapter35- Just say Yes
One Shot Quigley's Proposal to Fiona
It was a rare thing for Quigley Quagmire to be nervous and when he was his siblings enjoyed it immensely but this time, they were nervous for him they knew how important tonight was for him and were hoping that it would all work out for him. Quigley looked at his brother Duncan who was happily engaged to Violet and his sister who had recently given Klaus her sapphire ring. "What if I mess this up" he said. Duncan rolled his eyes "Quigley look at me you are going to be fine you don't have to give a speech."
Quigley snorted "easy for you to say you're not the one asking" Isadora sighed "Duncan didn't find it easy asking Violet he was terrified she would say no that and he proposed to her on the top if the Spire and she hate's heights" Duncan grinned "I knew that it was an excuse so I could hold her close. Quigley when you get to the restaurant find an excuse say you need the bathroom then give ring to waiter ask him to put it a strawberry in a glass of champagne and order the dessert with that one simple question."
"Since when did you get so good at giving girl advice?" asked Quigley.
"I work in a newspaper have covered two weddings and proposed to my girlfriend I also grew up with you as a brother" Duncan replied.
"Your not helping" Quigley said.
"Don't think on it too, now go or you'll be late" Isadora told him pushing him out the door.

Quigley stood outside the restaurant waiting for Fiona to arrive when she did he smiled "You look beautiful this evening mi-lady" he said kissing the back of her hand, Fiona giggled and the two of them entered the restaurant "reservation for Quagmire" Quigley told the manager at the desk. The man smiled "right this way sir and mam" He led them to a small booth near the back where there were several candles and a vase of fresh cut wild flowers. "So, is there a reason for tonight?" asked Fiona.
"Does there have to be? Can't I just see my gorgeous girlfriend" answered Quigley as the waiter came over with their drinks "I guess so, oh by the way you that nasty fungus we encountered several years ago?" Fiona asked.
"What the Mesusoid Mycelium"
"Yeah that one, we'll we've actually found a use for it"
"That sounds unnerving what is it?" Quigley asked.
"In small, dose's and diluted with a few other chemicals it makes a rather good numbing solution for major operations, however it would still be dangerous in a large dose." The couple continued to talk throughout the meal. Quigley excused himself before they ordered dessert and made his way over to the toilets or at least Fiona thought that was what he was doing what he was really doing was speaking to the waiter and using the advice his brother had given him asked him to place the ring into a glass of champagne. The waiter smiled and said "well whoever she is she is a lucky girl."
Quigley sat back down opposite Fiona "are you ok sweetie you look nervous?"
"I'm fine Fi, who wouldn't be nervous when sitting opposite a beautiful, charming and intelligent lady like you" he said with a charming smile. Fiona blushed he's way too charming for his own good she thought as the waiter came over with a tray containing a chocolate caramel tart and two glasses of champagne. "On the house madame compliments of the young man in front of you" said the waiter setting the glasses down a long with the dessert Fiona looked at the tart on it the words will you marry me? In white chocolate then at the glass in front of her floating in the champagne was a ring stuck in a strawberry "Quigley I don't know what to say" she gasped. Quigley pulled the ring out the glass and knelt in front of her "Just say yes"
