"Did you just ask me to marry you?" Tess asked
"Yes, I did," Nash said with a smile on his face. "Why?" Tess asked
"It's really nothing serious actually. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you, whether that is 5 years down the road or 80. I want to wake up in the morning beside you as your husband," Nash said.
"Nash, if this is about the baby, we can work something out with custody," Tess said.
"It's not because of the baby, though that is a special bonus. Our love is so powerful it could not be contained just between me and you, it had to branch itself out, and take on a new life, but this is about you and me and how you came into my life and turned it upside down. Before I met you, there was no love in my life, Tess. My childhood was not the greatest by far, but I know in my heart me and you can make it as long as we are together. Before you, I had no hope for the future but you came into my life and stole my car, then my wallet and finally my heart," Nash said.
"Nash, I don't know what to say," Tess said.
"Well, I've never proposed to anyone before but I hear that the girl usually says yes or no," Nash said.
"But I'm so messed up, Nash," Tess said.
"Tess you better give me an answer. I'm starting to get a cramp in my leg," Nash says.
"Very funny," Tess said.
"No, I'm serious," Nash said.
"Yes!" Tess says.
"What did you say?" Nash asks
"I will marry you," Tess said
"You'll marry me?" Nash said.
"Yes!" Tess said.
"Say it again," Nash said.
"I will marry you, if you get off the floor and--" Tess started to say but was broke off by Nash getting up from his kneeling position and grabbing Tess into a hug and kiss. Nash finally pulled away from the kiss. "You saved my life!" Nash said.
"By what, easing that cramp in your leg?" Tess asked.
"That too. Here, I believe this is where this goes," Nash said as he slides the ring onto Tess's left hand. "Now, everything is official," Nash said.
"Who would have thought that the day we met we would end up like this?" Tess asks.
"I knew it the whole time," Nash said.
"Oh really?" Tess asked.
"Of course! I knew you would come to your senses," Nash said.
"Well, you did say that day would be the most exciting day of my life and as much as I hate to admit it, you were right," Tess said.
"I'm always right," Nash said with a little smile to his face. "What am I getting into now?" Tess asked.
"What, you don't think I'm good enough to marry?" Nash asked.
"No, I don't," Tess said.
"What?" Nash asked.
"I think you are perfect," Tess said as they inch closer and kiss.
