"Now close your eyes," TJ instructed as he opened the door. Spinelli did what she was told, but still had no idea as to why they were in this hotel. It was gorgeous and she was happy he had gone through all this trouble, but she was confused as to why he had rented a hotel for the night, especially when he knew her feelings about the issue of premarital sex.

"Um, Teej, why are we here?" she asked him, her eyes still closed, but she was sure her face showed a picture of confusion.

"You'll see, baby," he told her, putting his arms around her and kissing her in order to distract her from what was going on in the room.

"Um, TJ?" she said when they finally broke apart. "As much as I am loving this, isn't it ironic that we are making out in the middle of the hall in a hotel? Most normal people are in the room when they want to make out."

"I know," TJ answered with a smile, "But you are so beautiful that I just couldn't resist kissing you before we went in." He noticed Gretchen and Jenn walking toward the room with the last of the surprise, so he slowly turned Spinelli around so that her back was toward the door and smiled. "Your beauty and love gives me a low resistance level," he whispered as he kissed her again, pulling apart when he was sure everyone was in the room. "What do you say we go in the room now?" he asked, putting his arms around her and gently covering her eyes with his hands. Once they had both entered the room, TJ gently let go of her eyes and revealed part two of his surprise.

"Oh, my gosh!" Spinelli gasped, as she noticed both their families and friends waiting for them in one of the most exclusive hotel suites in Arkansas.

"Surprise! Congratulations on finally getting engaged, you two!" Mrs. Detwieler ran up to them and hugged them both. "I always knew you two would end up together and I am happy you are finally making it official."

"Thank you, Mrs. Detwieler," Spinelli said smiling at her soon-to-be mother in law.

"Honey, you're family now, please, you are going to have to get used to calling me mom!" she told Spinelli, putting her arm around her.

"And TJ is going to have to call me mom, too!" another voice called out from behind them, The trio turned around to see a very happy Flo Spinelli standing there. "Pookie! I can't believe my little girl is finally getting married! I finally get to help plan a wedding!"

"Oh, wow, yes, we need to go dress shopping, find bands and caterers........." As the two moms began to discuss wedding plans, Jenn and King Bob came up to the couple to congratulate them once again.

"Wow, congratulations, you two, I am so happy you two are finally engaged. It only took thirteen years!" Bob joked as he hugged Spinelli and shook TJ's hand.

"Thanks, Bob," Spinelli said with a smile. She turned to Jenn, showing off her new engagement ring with excitement.

"Very beautiful," Jenn complimented, as she looked at the ring. "TJ definitely has good taste in jewelry, just like Bob."

"Well, you did help my pick it out, Jenn," TJ reminded her. "After all, you knew what her dream ring was."

"Thanks to adiamondisforever.com" Jenn said with a laugh, remembering how the girls had designed their dream engagement rings during a sleepover a few months back.

"So, maid of honor," Spinelli said, putting her arm around Jenn, "Hows about we get together soon and plan?"

"You want me as your maid of honor?" Jenn asked, shocked by Spinelli's request. "I mean, I thought you and Gretchen were best friends, I mean, I'll do it, but I thought...."

"Sweetie, you are my best friend, yes I knew Gretchen longer, but you and I are closer, so will you do me this honor?" Spinelli asked.

"Of course I will!" Jenn exclaimed, hugging her friend in excitement.

"Thank you so much for everything, Teej. I love you so much!" Spinelli said kissing him. There is one thing I don't understand, though," Spinelli added.

"What's that, babe?" he asked her.

"Who were the cop and fairy godmother?" she asked him. "I mean, they looked familiar, but I can't quite place them."

"That would be us," a voice called out from behind them. Spinelli turned around and saw TJ's older sister and her husband Jimmy there. They had both been so well disguised that Spinelli didn't even recognize them when they had done their "performances."

Spinelli smiled at them. "Thanks, you guys," she told them as she hugged them.

"It was our pleasure," Jimmy told her, "TJ here said he wanted to plan the perfect proposal, so we came up with this plan. It took us almost six months to do it, but it was worth it in the end, because of how happy you made my brother in law. I only wish you two can be as happy as Becky and I are," he told them, hugging them both.

"Thanks, man," TJ said with a smile. "Now, how about we greet our other guests?" TJ asked Spinelli, taking her hand and leading her to another group of people to mingle with.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Later that night, after the last of the guests left, TJ and Spinelli remained in the room, cuddling on the bed at watching American Pie.

"I am so glad you are not like those guys, " Spinelli commented as they watched a scene with the guys making their 'getting laid' pact.

" Why would I want to be? I have you, and I respect you" TJ reminded her, kissing her forehead.

As Spinelli leaned closer into TJ, she closed her eyes, thanking God for allowing her to be with the most wonderful, loving and caring guys in the world and for making her the happiest and luckiest girl in the world.
