A/N: Sorry for the delay, but here is Evelyn's response. Oh, and sorry for
not updating in chapter form, I was just planning on ending the first
chapter there, and so, ya. The second chapter is ridiculously short, but
the next chapter is going to be action filled (okay, maybe just a little
action, but mostly drama) and we will finally be into the plot of my story
that has nothing to do with the title, but that's okay. If I could, I
would lengthen this chapter, but it would be extremely boring, and I
thought that a little quality beats quantity, so here it is!
Disclaimer: If you haven't noticed yet, this is fan fiction, so none of us own anything, and writing these is a complete waist of time, but ya know, I really don't feel like being sued at the moment, so I do not own any of the characters, only the story lines. I do not own the lyrics to the song, "I Wanna Love You Forever," I think they belong to Jessica Simpson. Now, with legal matters taken care of, let's get on with the story!
Evie fluttered her eyes open to reveal a concerned Rick, standing over her. Then, she remembered that she had fainted, but why. Suddenly, the entire scene flashed before her eyes. 'It must be a dream,' she thought, then glanced at her left hand. To her pleasure, her sight was greeted by her engagement ring, well, if she said yes.
"Are you alright?" Rick said worriedly.
"Wonderful," she smiled. "Yes."
"Yes?"
"I will."
"You will!" he exclaimed as he picked her up from her office couch to spin her about the room. He finally set her down, and leaned in for a soft, sweet, short kiss, but she wrapped her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. After a moment, he pulled away to smile at her. "Ya know, Evie, I never thought you to be the forward type."
She leaned forward to whisper in his ear, "I'm only forward when it comes to you." At that, Rick laughed, and proceeded to kiss her again.

I wanna love you forever And this is all I'm asking of you 10,000 lifetimes together Is that so much for you to do? Cuz from the moment that I saw your face And felt the fire of your sweet embrace I swear I knew I wanna love you forever

The sun was shining brightly through Evelyn's office windows. Rick had left only an hour ago, so that she could break the news to her brother. She sat, reading a book, at her desk chair when Jonathan walked in. She made sure that her hands were strategically placed, so as not to reveal the ring on her hand. Jonathan tip toed in, trying his best not to disturb her.
"Jonathan?" Evie asked, not even looking up from her book.
"Yes?" he returned.
"What do you think about, I don't know, me changing my name?" Then, she closed the book and folded her hands in her lap.
"Why on Earth would you want to do that?"
"Oh, I don't know. I was just . . . thinking . . . Carnahan is such a . . . err . . . bland name, and . . . uh . . . I was thinking . . . maybe . . . O'Connell?"
"Why O'Co-," he stopped short when he finally understood what she was saying. "O'Connell?" he whispered.
"Yes," she replied. "I was thinking of changing my name to Mrs. Richard O'Connell."
After the initial shock wore off, Jonathon smiled and said, "Well, you have my blessing to give up the family name and "change your name" to Evelyn O'Connell."
Evelyn leapt off her seat to hug her brother and say "Thank you."
"You're welcome, baby sister."
"I love you," she whispered in his ear, "And I always will, big brother."
