I'm back! Sorry it took a while but reality was kicking me in the ass!

Date: February 14, 2006 (Happy Valentine's day!)

Author's note: I'm making this chapter short, along with the others so that I can get the reunion underway real soon.

Gail nursed her newborn baby boy, Rowan in her arms while she was sitting in her rocking chair, singing. Her days being with him have been filled with laughter, joy and tears. Randy had a photo shoot to go to she had to tend to her son by herself.

While she was nursing Rowan, she got up from the rocking chair and walked towards the table where piles of letters and postcards were stacked at. With her free hand, she picked up a letter, which was written by Amy. Gail was so happy one of her best friends was getting married. She was also happy that the rest of her friends had settled down and had children.

It made Gail wonder: when is she gonna get married?

Or does Randy wanna get married at all?

I want a husband and I wanna secure a future with him. But, I don't know if Randy wants that right now. His modeling career's taking off and I don't wanna ruin that for him, she thought.

Rowan was crying. Gail lifted him up and smelled his diaper, then made a disgusting face when she realized he needed to change. She sat the letter down on the table and took her son to the changing table.

"Randy, we need to talk," Gail said, her voice sounding firm.

"Okay. Let me put my little champ in his crib," Randy said before he went over and sat Rowan down in his crib.

He took his girl by the hand and led her over to the sofa. They both sat down, silence filling the air. Gail didn't look at her boyfriend for a moment because she was too busy looking at her shaking hands.

"So, what did you wanna talk about, baby?" Randy asked, breaking the silence.

Gail cleared her throat. "Well...I don't know where to start. Um, well, I wanna secure a future with you but I don't know if you want that. I mean, you have a successful modeling career and yet I end up having Rowan..."

He cut her off. "Are you saying you wanna get married?"

"Yes. That's what I'm saying. But, if you don't want to, I understand. I'll still love you as you are," Gail said before she lowered her head.

To her surprise, Randy leaned over and kissed her sweetly. Gail opened her eyes and stared at the man she loved more than anything.

"What was that for?" she asked, looking confused.

"Do you realized you just made me the happiest man in the world?" Randy exclaimed.

"I did?" she was still confused.

"Gail, I want nothing more than to be married to you. Sure, I love my life as a model but you and Rowan are number one in my life. I wanna have more children with you. I want you to be the woman of my dreams," he said before he got up from the couch.

Gail looked at him, grinning from ear, as he came back over to her. Randy kneeled down in front of her and revealed a small black velvet box. When he opened it, she was shocked to see a sparkling diamond ring shining in her eyes.

"Gail, will you make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife?" he asked with a smile.

She took the ring out of the box and placed it on her finger. "I would love nothing more."

"So, how long will you be gone?" Randy asked.

Gail was packing her bags so she could leave for California. She was pacing around the room, trying to get everything ready

"Five days at least. I have so much catching up to do with my girls. I'm gonna be staying with Amy while I'm down there," she replied.

"I still can't believe Amy's finally getting married. How long has she been engaged?" he asked as he handed her some fresh set of clothes.

She rolled her eyes and sighed."Seven years. She and Hunter had been together longer. They didn't wanna rush into marriage right away. I still don't understand why you won't come down to the wedding with me."

"Hunter was never one of my favorite people in the world. We did act civil towards each other, but, other than that, we were never really close," he explained.

She laughed. "I guess that's a good reason."

"Looks like I got my hands full while you're gone. But, don't worry. Rowan and I will have a lot of fun together. Ain't that right, little man?" Randy asked with a grin.

Rowan was bouncing up and down in his crib and cooed at his father. Gail stopped packing for a moment and went over to her larger than life child.

"Are you gonna be good for your daddy, sweetheart?" she asked as she picked him up.

The baby just cooed at her and laughed.

"Rowan will be in good hands. I won't be on another photo shoot for another week so me and my little champ will have a whole lot of fun together." he leaned over and kissed his son on his forehead and planted a sweet kiss on her lips.

"I love you. But, you know that, right?" Randy said, smiling.

Gail returned his smile. "Yes, I know that. Matter of fact, I love you, too."

Next chapter, Stacy and Torrie!
