"When are you going to ask Mami?"

Raf stopped and slowly turned, wincing as his knee protested.

"Ask Mami what? Mija?"

"To marry her."

Raf sighed, waving her over as she walked toward him.

"I'm not, I mean I will, down the road, but not right now."

"Why not right now? I know you have a ring, I saw it."

Raf got up, going to his desk pulling the ring box out.

"Come here mija."

Raf sat at his desk and lifted her up into his lap.

"You okay?"

Maddie had stiffened as Raf lifted her up and then struggled to be put down again. Maddie sniffled and looked up at Raf. With a trembling lip she said,

"Yeah, I guess...I just remembered that he...the man lifted me onto his knee just like you did. I kind of went back to that night for a bit."

"Oh Maddie, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize. Do you want to go to your mom?" Raf said whilst moving the chair away from her.

"No, I'm okay now. It was just a flashback, I know you wouldn't do anything like that. Please don't treat me differently. By the time you put me down I knew it was you again. I think if you just ignore it when it happens it will make it easier to get back to normal. So come back over here, I think there was something you were going to show me." She grinned up at him mischievously.

"You still want to see it?"

"Yes please."

Raf opened up the box, letting Maddie see.

"It's pretty!"

"Shh mija, it's just like Mami and you."

Maddie looked at him, smiling.

"Love you, Papi." She kissed his cheek.

"Te amo." Raf whispered, kissing her cheek.

"When are you going to give it to her?"

"Our 1 year anniversary is in a couple of days I thought then, and take my two favorite girls out."

"Can I be involved? Can we do it tonight?"

"You're sure?"

"Please papi, I'll end up telling mami before then if I have to wait."

"Yes, if you want to."

"Yay!"

"Shh, mija." Raf chuckled, grabbing the ring box, putting it in his pocket.

Raf and Maddie came out of the study.

"PJ's, bedroom, movie time." You said.

They both hurried off, as you came into your bedroom, they looked guilty.

"What did you two do?"

"Nothing mami." Maddie said.

You sat beside Raf cuddling with them, Maddie started the movie. Halfway through it you got up, going to the bathroom.

"Papi, now, please?!"

"Okay." Raf nodded.

You came back sitting beside Raf who leaned up, turning toward you.

"What are you doing, Rafi?"

Raf got out the box.

"Y/N will you marry me?"

You had tears in your eyes, you put your head against his, both of you crying already.

"Yes, I will."

Raf kissed you, took the ring out of the box and put it on your finger. Maddie was crying, leaning against Raf's side as he wrapped an arm around her, kissing her head. You wrapped your arms around both of them.

"Love you two."

"Love you mami, papi."

You and Maddie dog piled on Raf.

"Love you two too. I will always be here to protect the two of you."

Maddie was already asleep, on his chest, you laid your head on his shoulder kissing him.

"I know you will and I will always love you for it."
