Hey everybody! Ok well, I've decided to make Addy from Bayou Labatre, Alabama. YAY! That's for Taylor, I also named Addy's mom after Tay's grandma. Ok. Well I hope you enjoy. It's like a fluff chapter. YAY!

She's So High

She's so high,
high above me she's so lovely,
She' so high,
like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite.

"Ok. Angel hair pasta, cheese, shrimp, steamers, and clams." Derek pulled the items out of the bag as he named them off. After today's incident, she really deserves this. He chuckled to himself and pulled out a tattered piece of paper. Seafood Pasta.

"So, Derek. You like seafood Hun?" Myra, Addison's mother asked. She had a very light toned southern accent. Addison accent had faded away. When Derek had first met Addison she had a slight accent. He had always though it was so adorable, but she always made fun of him for it.

"Yeah. I love it." Derek smiled at Myra's accent.

"Momma, Derek is quite the fisherman." Addison looked over at Derek and he placed his hand on hers.

"Really? Wow. You know, this dish is my baby doll's favorite. She loves my Seafood Pasta." My kissed Addy on her forehead. "Derek, would you be a dear and help me in the kitchen?"

"Yeah. Of course. I'll be right back." He kissed Addison lightly on the lips. He really wanted to make it good with her parents.
"So. I have a little trick for you. The way to my baby doll's heart is through her stomach, so to speak. She loves Seafood Pasta, and pretty much only the way I cook it. When you are ever in a rut, take this and make it. I won't say it will solve your problems, but it will make her happy. I know she has a soft spot for you. I can see it in her eyes, and I can see it in yours too." She handed him a small piece of paper.

"About that. I-I…I want, I want to ask, I want Sam and your permission. Well, I…" Derek couldn't speak, he was too nervous.

" Awwww! Baby, you're going to propose!" Myra yelled.

"Shhh! Yes, I am." Derek said in a loud whisper.

"Sorry." She whispered and grabbed Derek to give him a huge hug. "I'm so happy baby."

"Hey. Ya'll need to hurry up. Sawyer and Susannah are getting talkative." Sam walked in. "What' going on?"

"Derek is going to ask for our baby doll's hand in marriage!" She whispered ecstatically.

"Well, Sir, Sam, I, uh, I wanted to get-" Sam interrupted him.

"Of course, you have my, our, permission. Welcome to the family son." Sam gave Derek a warm hug.

He put the pot full of all the right ingredients onto the stove. Ok. Exactly 35 minutes, and not a second later. Ok I'll take it out at 7: 45.

Beep, Beep, Beep.

Derek took the pot off the stove and put it into two bowls on a tray. A night time picnic. He had it all planed out. There was a cloth laying on the front porch. Addison's car pulled up in to the drive way. He looked up and covered the food. He then stood on the front porch, hands in pockets, waiting for her to come up to him. With a smirk on his face he asked, "So, how are you feeling?" He licked his lips and tried not to laugh.

"Shut up." She gave him a evil glare. "You know what? You just savor the moment, just live it up. Laugh come on." Derek start to let out a couple of chuckles until he couldn't hold it in any longer. She punched his arm and joined in the laughing. He was laughing with her, not at her.

Right? "Ok, well. You've endured enough today. So I made you something special. Really special actually. So come inside with me to get the wine glasses. I don't want you to peek." Derek grabbed Addy's hand and pulled her inside. He grabbed two wine glasses and his finest bottle of wine. They then walked out side. "Now sit down on the cloth and close your eyes."

"Ok. They're closed." She grinned, trying not to peek.

"Tada! Feast your eyes on this." She opened her eyes.

"Oh, Oh my God! You made me my favorite. Derek! Thank you." She leaned over to give him a kiss on the cheek, but he moved his cheek so their lips touched. Like a school boy he pulled away and blushed. So did she.

"Your mom gave me the recipe years ago…The night I proposed to you." Derek looked into Addy's eyes that were gleaming with joy.

"Aw. I remember that night. Oh, all too well, I remember." Addison smiled and looked at Derek's blushing cheeks.

"Ok kiddies! Seafood Pasta, coming up." Myra came out of the kitchen with a hug smile on her face.

"Momma, you're glowing'." Susannah pointed out with a smile.

"I am. Well I didn't notice." She said with a grin and a chuckle.

"Hey. Suzy, can you help me get the salad out of the kitchen." Derek said opening the door.

"Yeah." She walked it.

"I need a favor. Telephone? You know the game?" Derek asked.

"Yeah. It's my favorite. Why you ask?" She looked around the room. Derek pulled a ring out of his pocket. "Oh My Lord!"

"I need you to suggest playing telephone. I'm going to sit next to Addy. She'll be the last person. I'll ask her to marry me. You can start it." Derek put the ring back into his pocket.

"Sure thing Der. Wow.!" Suzy smiled through her braces.

"What were you yelling about in there Su?" Sawyer asked a bit perplexed. She sat next to Sawyer, who at the time was 20 and Su as 18, and whispered softly into his ear; "Derek is going to ask Ad to marry him through Telephone. Shh! It's a secret."

"Oh. Ok." Sawyer chuckled.

"What was that about?" Addy looked over at her younger siblings.

"Oh nothing!" Su replied.

"Oh, it's something. Su, she has a little crush on the boy next door." Sawyer was good at covering things up.

"Sawyer. Shush! I do not!" Su played along. "Well let's hurry up and eat. I want to play Telephone with ya'll. Ad we haven't played that in forever"

"Ok. We will Suzy. Calm down." Addy looked over at hger almost hyperventilating sister.

"Ok I'll start." Su said as she got close to Sawyer's ear and whispered; "Addy will you marry me?" It went all the way around the circle to Derek.

"Addy, will you marry me?" He whispered in her ear and pulled out the gorgeous ring.

"Oh My LORD! Derek!" She stood up and jumped up and down. He stood up with her and smiled. "YES! OF COURSE! YES!" He placed the ring upon her finger and she jumped into his arms.

"It was one of the most nerve racking, exciting, wonderful day's of my life." Derek looked into her eyes. "I love you." He grabbed her hand and intertwined his into hers. He leaned in and kissed her on the lips.

"I love you too." She replied with a gin on her face. She looked into his eyes and saw something else, besides sincere love. "Oh, you're not getting any tonight."
