A/N: I only own Iris. Keep up the reviews. Thanks, Morwen12 for all your reviews. Thanks again. Enjoy!

We got up early the next morning. We told everyone goodbye.

"See you at Christmas!" John said as we walked out. We drove to the airport and I fell asleep on the way. John woke me up when we got there.

We boarded the plane and left around 11:00 am. I fell asleep, again. I was so tired. John woke me up when we got to Atlanta. We left and took a taxi to the hotel.

I stopped by Paul and Steph's room after I got to mine. Steph answered the door.

"Hey! How was thanksgiving?" she asked me.

"Great, what time are we meeting mom and dad?" I asked her.

"Around 8. So I figure meet in the lobby at 7:30." she said.

"Ok, I am going to lay down." I told her.

"See ya later!" she said.

I walked back to my room to see John getting changed. He saw me and smiled.

"I am going to work out with some of the guys." he said.

"Ok, I am going to lay down. Don't tell anyone about the engagement!" I warned him. He smiled and kissed me. He left and I fell asleep.

John POV

I went down to the gym and found Paul, Dave, and Randy already down there. I joined them.

"How was your holiday?" Dave asked me.

"It was good except for a few rocky times." I told them.

"Did she come back?" Randy asked me.

"Yeah, she did." I told him.

"Come back?" Paul asked us.

"Marc, my cousin, told her she didn't belong and she left. I convinced her to come back." I told them.

"What happened to Marc?" Dave asked.

"Iris beat the hell out of him." I told them.

"Not surprised!" Paul said. We all laughed.

"I heard she scared you." Randy said.

"She did. I didn't know." I told them.

"What did she do?" Dave asked.

"She passed out because her sugar dropped." I told them.

"Is the bruise gone?" Randy asked.

"Yeah." I told them.

"What bruise?" Paul asked.

"She was playing football with my brothers and she ran into someone. It gave her a black eye, bloody nose, and a cut lip." I told him. Paul nodded.

"Have you asked her yet?" Randy asked me.

"No." I answered him.

"Asked her what?" Dave asked.

"Nothing." I said.

"He is going to propose." Randy told them.

"Thanks, Randy, I wasn't going to tell." I told him. He shrugged.

"Cool." Paul said. Dave nodded.

We finished working out. Randy and I went to my room. We walked in and I went to the bathroom. Randy sat down beside Iris. She was still asleep. I came out and he had a smirk on his face.

"You are going to wait?" he asked me.

"Ok, I promised her I wasn't going to tell." I told him.

"You really listened didn't you." Iris said and she got up. Randy was laughing. She came back out of the bathroom and sat down beside me.

"I already knew. I just didn't know he had proposed." Randy said. She smiled at him.

"I think we need to find Randy a girl." she told me. I nodded.

"I am fine!" he said.

"Yeah, thinking about her." she said to him. He blushed slightly.

"Who is her?" I asked.

"No one!" Randy said. Iris laughed.

Randy stayed a little longer until we had to get ready. Iris wore a short pink dress. I wore khakis, a baby blue button up shirt, and some tennis shoes. We met Steph and Paul in the lobby.

"Ready?" Steph asked us.

"Yeah, I am so hungry." Iris said. We got into the limo and left.

"Did you check your sugar?" I whispered in her ear.

"Yeah. I am a little low." she said back. I smiled at her as we rode to the limo.

We arrived at a nice restaurant and got out. We were taken to our seats; their parents had already arrived. We all were introduced and ate.

"Mom, Dad me and Steph have something to tell you." Paul said to them.

"What is it?" their mother asked.

"We are going to have a baby." he told them.

"Oh that is wonderful!" their mother said.

"Congrats, you two." their father said.

"Iris, you should be more like Paul. He is happy and successful. You need to start to settle down with someone who is good for you." her mother told her. I knew she was judging me and I was losing.

Iris POV

"Thanks for the reminder mom." I told her.

"Well, do you have anything to announce or is it still the same thing. You have a boyfriend and it will end in a few months?" Dad asked me.

"Actually, I do have something to tell you. I would like for you to know that I am getting married!" I told them. Mom and Dad looked a bit surprised.

"To him?" Dad asked.

"Is there a problem with him and his name is John." I asked them.

"Well, we just don't think he is right for you. No offence, John, but our daughter needs someone who had man connections." Mom told him.

"Fuck you!" she said. Mom dropped her fork and looked at me.

"What did you say?" Dad asked me.

"I said 'Fuck you'. I am tired of everything I do not being good enough. I don't care if you don't like him because I don't care. You are not marring him. I am!" I told them.

I took John's hand and we left.
