Des awoke around nine and noticed a red rose next to her on her pillow. She smiled, picked it up and smelled its fragrance. One person came to mind to whom gave her the rose, Marc. Setting it down on her dresser, she then headed to go take a shower. Smiling at how Marc was so sweet and thoughtful. After the quick shower and getting dressed.
She walked back out, brushing her hair and noticed that someone had to slip in and out rather quickly. Too bad that had to rule out Pietro, seeing as there was no smell of sulfur from Kurt's porting in and out of the room. Her bed was made and sitting at the end of it was a stuffed bear, white with red hearts on the paws where the pads would be, holding a small box of chocolate.
She walked over and carefully picked up the stuffed animal. Taking the box of chocolate out of it's paws and setting it down on her bed. She hugged the soft bear with a smile. Then placed it back down and opened the box to find out what kind of chocolate it was. Lying on top was a note that said 'Go downstairs and eat breakfast first.'
Shaking her head with a chuckle, she re-closed the box and headed downstairs. Nothing was different on her way down and into the kitchen. Just found others eating as they seemed to have gotten up. "Guten morgen." Kurt said as Des entered. "Morning, Kurt." She said, pouring herself a bowl of Fruit Loops.
She sat down at the table and ate. "What are you so happy about?" Tabby asked between a bite full of food. Kurt, Ray and Bobby looked at her awaiting an answer. She waited till she was finished eating before replying. "That I know Marc gave me two gifts without me knowing." She said with a bright smile.
"Vhat kind of gifts?" Kurt asked out of curiosity. "Yeah how do you know it was from him and not some secret admirer," said Bobby, pulling a chair up next to Des and straddling it. Des scrunched her face at what Bobby said. "Hell no! Marc is the only guy that has given me gifts besides from my birthday when everyone did though." She snapped while crossing her arms over her chest.
Bobby winced from the tone in her voice. "Now about the gifts I woke up to a single red rose next to me on my pillow and next when I came out of the bathroom from taking a shower. I found a white teddy bear with some chocolates on my perfectly made bed, which I didn't make."
Tabby smiled and patted Des on the back. "You hooked a great guy and if you wouldn't have snagged him. One of us girls here would have him by now." Des smiled. "Thanks I guess." She got up and set the dishes in the dishwasher. She then headed outside.
Rahne and Sam were playing Frisbee while Rahne was in her wolf form of course. He threw it to far and luckily Des caught it before it hit her. "Ah'm sorry about that." Sam said, standing in the same spot from where he threw it. "It's ok I wouldn't have gotten mad even if it did hit me." She said as Rahne trotted over wagging her tail wanting Des to throw it.
"Ok, ok." Des said while smiling then threw it as far as she could and watched the wolf run after it. Rahne sprinted under it and jumped at the right time to catch the Frisbee in her mouth. Des clapped at her achievement. "Good job."
Sam grabbed the disc away to throw it but ended up in a tug-of-war with Rahne instead. "C'mon Rahne!" He said as she started shaking her head. "Ah don't want to play with you like this." Marc chuckled as he walked over and wrapped his arms from behind around Des's waist.
"What's the matter? Don't like playing rough? I thought you were a farm boy who did hard labor before you came here." He said then kissed Des on the back of her neck. "Ah am… well somewhat right now." Sam replied as he fell backwards from Rahne letting go as he tugged a little harder than before. She then snickered as she transformed back. "Aye but he isn't on no farm anymore."
Marc shrugged his shoulders. "So, he's suppose to put up a better fight against you in tug-of-war." "Try a tug-of-war with Delano and let's see how you make out." Des said to Marc. "I doubt you can handle him."
Marc chuckled. "I could take him on." Des shook her head while smiling. Knowing that either one could win at tug-of-war if they were really into it. "Let's go take a walk." Marc suggested with his sexy smile. She nodded in agreement and they both started walking.
A couple of blue jays flew in front of them as they walked along the edge of the woods. Marc and Des smiled at the two happy birds as they laced their fingers as they held hands. A gentle breeze stirred Des's hair and caused it to blow across her face. She brushed the strands back behind her ear with her free hand.
"It's a beautiful day today… but you're more beautiful though." Marc said and looked at her while saying the last part with a smile. Des smiled and felt her cheeks warm up from blushing. "Thanks." He then gave her a gentle kiss on the lips.
Soon they came upon the garden area with blooming flowers of all sorts. Just basking in each other's company without saying a word. Marc began to get nervous on when to pop the question to her. "What's the matter?" Des asked with a raised brow. "Nothing is, why?" "Your palm is all sweaty like you're nervous or something."
Marc mental cursed to himself and pulled his hand away to wipe it off on his baggy shorts. Des giggled at the sight of Marc, who just smiled back. They walked over to a bench that's in the garden and Marc motioned for her to sit. He sat down after she did.
"I know you gave me those gifts." She said breaking the silence between them. "You know me too well." He said, not denying it. He wrapped his arm around her and they stayed like that for a few minutes. A lone cloud in the sky past over the sun causing a shadow effect to appear on the ground.
Des leaned against his chest loving the moments alone with him. "I love you, Marc." She said, gazing up into his eyes. Marc smiled, brightly. "I love you, too, Dizzy."
Taking a deep breath, Marc moved his arm from around her and stood. Des sat up and looked confused as to why he would get up besides from stretching out. 'It was now or never.' He thought to himself. He smiled at her again as he dropped down to one knee in front of her. Pulling out a small velvet box from his pocket as he cleared his throat.
Des raised a brow at the sight but inside she was really excited. "Desdemona Angel Krueger, will you marry me?" He managed to say without having a nervous break down to what she was going to say. He opened the box to reveal a silver engagement ring with a sapphire gem.
Des gasped in shock and covered her mouth. Marc raised a brow, not expecting that to happen. "YES!" She squealed loudly and embraced him in a tight hug. He was in heaven now and pulled her away and put the ring on her ring finger. Suddenly, out of nowhere everyone from the mansion popped out of his or her hiding places. Where everyone was able to hide, who really knows? They all had bright smiles and were happy at the sight.
"We knew you'd ask her sooner or later." Bobby said with a smug look and patted him on the back. "Congratulations, brother-in-law," said Delano with a smile as he gave him a bear hug. He turned and gave his sister a loving hug.
