We've Got A Lot Of Catching Up To Do ~ Chapter 7

"Oh my goodness! What are you doing here?" I said as I looked at the person in front of me. He was bent down on one knee, holding up a ring box.

"Belle, will you marry me?" Shawn asked as he opened the ring box to reveal a beautiful diamond engagement ring.

I stood in shock for a few minutes before Shawn brought me back.

"Belle, are you there?" Shawn said, waving a hand in front of my face. He was now standing up in front of me.

"Yes," I nodded, tears falling from my eyes.

"Is that a yes you're here or yes you'll marry?"

"Yes, Shawn Brady, I'll marry you!" I exclaimed, putting my arms around his neck.

Shawn took the ring out of the box and placed it on my left ring finger before kissing my hand.

"I love you, Belle," Shawn said as he looked up at me.

"I love you, Shawn," I smiled before leaning in to kiss him.

The Next Morning....

"Wake up, sleeping beauty," Shawn said as he entered my bedroom carrying a tray, followed by Chelsey and Chris.

"What is this?" I asked as Chelsey and Chris ran over to the bed. Chelsey climbed up beside of me and I picked up Chris and put him on the bed.

"Breakfast in bed," Shawn said as he placed the tray on my lap. "Chelsey picked that rose this morning all by herself."

"Thank you," I smiled as I looked at Chelsey, Chris and Shawn. 'Did you tell them yet?' I mouthed to Shawn.

Shawn shook his head before walking over to the window and opening the blinds.

"Chelsey, Chris, we have something to tell you. Shawn and I are getting married," I said as I looked at them to see if they understood.

"Like you and Daddy were?" Chelsey asked.

"Yes. Do you understand, Chris?"

Chris shook his head.

"Do you know how Uncle Brady is Aunt Mimi's husband?"

He nodded.

"Well, your daddy is going to be my husband, and he'll be living with us now."

"Daddy live here?" Chris asked.

"Yes," I said, smiling at Chris who had reached onto the tray and was now eating a piece of toast.

"So, how soon do you want to get married?" Shawn asked, smiling at me.

"Soon," I smiled back. "But, first we need to tell everybody. I don't want a big wedding though, I've already been through that once. Let's just have a small ceremony with only a few close friends and family."

"My family's not that small," Shawn said, sitting beside me on the bed.

"I know that. I'm just saying that I don't want to go all out and have a fancy wedding."

"We can just skip the whole fancy ceremony and just elope," Shawn said, looking at me to see my reaction.

"That's not such a bad idea," I said, looking at him.

"I have a business trip I have to go on this week, but if that's too soon, we can wait until the next trip."

"No, that would be great, but what about the kids?" I asked.

"They can come too. I'm sure the hospital will let me bring my family."

"By this time next week, you and I will be husband and wife," I said, smiling at him.

"Yep," Shawn said before he kissed my cheek. "We leave on Monday. That gives you today and tomorrow to get ready to go."

"I'll be ready," I smiled.

"I've got to go to work now, but I'll see you later. I love you. Bye," Shawn said, standing up to leave. "Bye, Chelsey. Bye, Chris."

"Bye, Shawn," Chelsey said.

"Bye-bye, dada!" Chris smiled.
