Author's Note: Hell, I know it's been forever since I've updated, and I'm sorry. Since Heather and I made up in the last chapter I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with it, and now, well, with the help of chica ... ::hugs Heather:: ... I was able to get my head working right and write this chapter ... I hope you enjoy ...
Chapter 37: Life Goes On
Rae, Amanda, and Heather were sitting out on the front porch with their respective men. Rae and John were on the ground and she was sitting in his lap. Amanda was sitting on Randy's lap in one of the chairs, and Heather was sitting next to Brock. They sat and watched the sunset in silence. Enjoying the serenity of the moment. John smiled at Rae, "Come on, let's go for a walk." Rae got up and John stood up, taking her hand, they walked off the porch. Amanda looked over at Heather and smiled, "He's gonna do it," she whispered. Heather smiled wide and nodded in agreement.
Rae and John were walking along the beach, hand in hand, as the moon was starting to rise over the water. John wrapped an arm around Rae's shoulders as they continued on their way. "Rae, I love you so much." Rae smiled and looked up at John, "I love you too." He stopped walking and it caused Rae to stop as well. She turned and her jaw nearly hit the sand when John got down on one knee. He opened a black, velvet box, and Rae clapped her hand over her mouth when she saw the 1 carat, heart cut diamond set in a polished, platinum band. John smiled, somewhat pleased at her reaction. Rae could feel the tears starting to come as John drew a deep breath, "Rae, when we first met, it was under questionable circumstances." Rae smiled and laughed softly. John smiled as he continued, "I never thought that I would fall so deeply in love with someone who kidnapped me. We've been through so much together, and I can't imagine loving someone else." Rae's smile faded, but a look of adoration replaced it. John sighed heavily, "I don't want to love anyone else." He drew a ragged breath before looking back up into her eyes, "Raechel, will you do me the extreme honor of marrying me?" Raechel wiped the tears from her cheeks and nodded, "Yeah." John smiled and slipped the ring of Rae's finger. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply. Rae wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss.
Rae ran into the house and let out a loud yell, "Wooo!" Heather came walking out of the kitchen, knowing what had Rae so excited, "What the hell Rae?" Rae grinned and hugged her friend tightly. She pulled away and showed her the ring. Heather laughed and nodded, "Good thing you said 'yes'. He was scared that you would say 'no' being the non-traditional girl you are." Rae grinned, "I'm so not non-traditional." Heather smirked and crossed her arms over her chest, "Right Rae." Amanda came walking downstairs with Randy as John came walking into the house, "I take it from the yelling that she said 'yes'," she asked looking at John. John nodded as he wrapped his arms around Rae, pulling her tightly to him, "Yeah." Rae smirked and turned around to kiss John.

Heather and Amanda were waiting for Rae and John to return from Rae's appointment. Today, she was to have a sonogram done, and most likely find out the baby's sex. Amanda looked over at Heather, who was about 8 months along, and looked like she was about to pop, "What do you want Rae to have?" Heather shrugged, "I don't know. What about you?" "I hope she has a boy." Amanda smiled and looked at Heather, "Aww, Rayne and Rae's little boy could hook up," she finished, laughing. Heather rolled her eyes, "No way." Before Amanda could respond, the front door opened and Rae and John walked into the house. Rae's stomach had grown a lot in the past three months, but that was the only place she grew really. She sat down on the couch and looked at Amanda and Heather. Heather grinned, "Well?" Rae swallowed and looked at John. He smirked and walked off to find Brock and Randy. Amanda narrowed her eyes, "Rae, is everything okay?" Rae nodded and smiled at her friend, "Well, I, uh, I know why I've gotten so damn big so fast." Heather grinned, "You're having twins?" Rae licked her lips and shook her head, "No, I'm having triplets." Amanda's jaw dropped, "Oh my God!" Rae nodded, "Yeah, the doctor said that the reason they didn't see 'em all before was because the other two were hiding at the moment, and they didn't show up on the screen." Heather was still speechless. Rae smiled, "John's thrilled. They're all boys." Amanda started laughing and hugged her friend tightly. Heather just sat in the chair and tried to process what Rae just said.
