She sat on her bed, looking at the door, she had cried all day and finally was able to control her nerves. How did this happen? The question ran through her head a million times. She heard the doorbell ring and Logan got it. She could hear Duncan's voice and the tears formed in her eyes again, but she suppressed them. She got up and patted down her dress fixed her makeup and walked down the stairs.
She was a vision thought Duncan, her dress was silver and went down her feet, the straps crisscrossed in the back and the front was low cut. She looked up at him and he could see that she had been crying earlier. He put the thoughts aside, he didn't want to get her crying again.
They went to dinner and had a nice conversation, they ate and told jokes and she had started feeling more comfortable. They talked about their pasts and how they love each other and would stay together through anything. She had decided to tell him later and after a while of their perfect dinner she had even let herself forget.
They got back to Duncan's, his parents were out of town 'again' and they decided to watch some TV. She walked into Duncan's room and grabbed out a pair of jeans she had left there and one of Duncan's sweatshirts. They were watching tbs and the Saturday night movie was playing. She bolted up from the couch and ran to the bathroom, it was the third time since they had gotten there.
She opened the door and he was sitting up on the couch his back to her. "god how many times are you going to pee, this is like the third time in the last hour."
She was walking toward the living room and looking down buttoning her pants "well when your pregnant lets see how many times….." she stopped suddenly in her tracks replaying what she just said and hoping he hadn't heard. He was still looking forward his back to her and she thought 'wow maybe he hadn't heard her' then when he suddenly turned his body around looking straight at her with the most shocked look on his face. 'Maybe he did.'
"I was going to tell you tonight at dinner" she said matter-of-factly trying to make it sound not so important. He just sat their looking straight at her that is when she saw his expression change from shock to something she had not expected, happiness. He jumped up from the couch and grabbed her pulling her into his embrace and kissing her passionately, he pulled away ginning at her. She looked puzzled, "What are you grinning at?"
He got down on one knee and pulled the box he had been saving from the cupboard beside him. "I have been carrying this around for a week now looking for the perfect time I was going to do this at homecoming but now seems like the perfect time." He opened the box to show a gorgeous emerald cut platinum engagement ring. She sparkled looking at the scene in front of her. "Will you be my wife?" he said smiling ear to ear. "Yes!" she blurted and lunged at him kissing every part of his face finally finding his lips and pushed the kiss further, as if trying to tell him how much she wanted him. That night they had sex in every room of the house, except for his parent's, they were so in love and they wanted each other more then anything. The next day they slept in until noon, when they heard Duncan's parents come through the door.
"oh holy crap" she said sliding out of bed and pulling on her clothes she hid in his closet as his mother came to the door.
She knocked while opening it and looking in at a very startled Duncan in bed. "Hello honey how was your date with Rachel?" she said trying to care.
"Fine actually I asked her to come over to dinner tonight" he said. He could feel Rachel giving him the finger from the closet and a smile crept on his face.
"Okay honey I will tell Maria to set another place." She said with a smile.
She left and Rachel came out of the closet, "asshole" she said giving him a kiss and walking out his ledge, she climbed down the side, and plopped to the ground. She turned around and slammed right into someone. She looked up and smiled "Hey Jake" she said in a little voice.
She sat down on the couch, Duncan sitting next to her in his PJ bottoms; he must have put on when she left.
"What did you think you were doing?" Celeste yelled pacing in front of the teens.
She then caught a glance of Rachel's hand and stood still in horror. "No, no, no," she yelled, "you did not spend your grandmothers inheritance on an engagement ring" she screamed she was fuming.
"I love her mom and if you cant except it then that is fine." He said wrapping an arm around Rachel's shoulders.
"You… how could you manipulate my poor boy, you got yourself knocked up, you are trying to steal our money" she said looking Rachel in the face with a look of disgust.
Duncan was about to get up but Rachel beat him to it. "First of all I did not manipulate your boy I gave him chance after chance to leave me but he stayed because I love him and he loves me. Secondly I am pregnant but he has been planning on asking me for a week now and I just found out I am pregnant this morning, and lastly I don't have to steal your boys money because I have some of my own, you do know who my parents and grandfather was right?"
Celeste was taken aback, she was actually speechless much like the last confrontation she had with Rachel. They finally decided to give their consent and sat down to breakfast. They had become civil however Rachel could still feel the tension between her and her soon to be Mother-in-law.
"Where will you live?" she asked.
"Wherever Duncan gets into college." She says "I will find a college near by if I cant get in where he does." She said.
"What will you do about money" she asked
"well I have been waiting to tell everyone at once but if you must know my petition to the courts came back, since my hospital costs, my attack, and my present living situation they are changing my grandfathers will." She said. "I get control of the company on my 18th birthday and that same day I will sell it for the net worth of 9.2 billion dollars after taxes" she said taking another bite of her food. "Can I have the salt?"
she was so good at that making a huge event seem meaningless. She would just smile and hold Duncan's hand.
Celeste's questions had ceased as they walked the young couple to the door. Duncan gave both his parents hugs and Rachel did the same giving Jake a kiss on the cheek. Jake was surprisingly happy during the whole event. All he wanted was for Duncan to be happy and to have someone around to dull out the pain of the loss of his daughter.
She looked at Jake tears in her eyes "I know I will never replace Lilly and I am not trying to but my dad is gone and I was wondering if you would walk me down the isle." She let the tears slip down her face.
"Of course I wouldn't have it any other way" he said giving her another hug, tear erupted from his eyes as well as he kissed her on the forehead and sent them on their way.
They got back to Logan's and walked through the front door in each others embrace.
"oh god cut it out." Yelled Logan.
"So did you do it" asked Veronica.
"Yeah, all night" Rachel said with a grin. "o you meant about him asking yeah he did it" she said with a wink.
"you knew I knew?" asked veronica.
"I knew all of you were keeping something from me I just didn't know what" she said.
Duncan and Rachel promised to keep the baby a secret until after the wedding, and Veronica promised not to tell anyone not even Logan, this was their business and their choice of when to tell.
