Josh walked up to the front door of Owen and Teddy's house. He was nervous, he hadn't told Annie what he was planning on doing that night. She was working overnight and was assigned to the pit which meant she would be busy. It was one of the few times Josh appreciated being on opposite schedules for the month. Taking a deep breath Josh knocked on the door.

Teddy opened the door with 16 month old Alison in her arms, "Josh come on in. I didn't know you were coming."

"I came to talk to Owen about something but I don't really know if it's a conversation with him or one I should be having with you," Josh said.

Teddy could tell he was nervous, "why don't you talk to both of us. Do you want a drink?"

"Water would be great," Josh said, "can I see Allison ? Annie is a baby hog when we babysit."

"Of course," Teddy said, passing Josh the baby, "I was worried for a while but Annie loves Alison."

"She adores her," Josh agreed, "it just took her some time to get over the surprise of a sister and to deal with the Dan and Leslie stuff then what happened in October . It was love at first sight when she actually met Alison. She's okay now, best I've ever seen her actually."

"You see her and she talks to you more then she talks to me these days," Teddy said, "I miss her telling me everything."

"She's just giving you and Owen some space to enjoy being married," Josh said.

Owen joined them in the living room, "Josh you wanted to talk to me is Annie okay?"

"I'd like to talk to both of you about Annie," Josh said.

"Is everything okay," Owen asked.

"It is," Josh said, "there's something I wanted to ask you."

Teddy smiled, "is this what I think it is?"

"I don't know who I should be asking," Josh said, "Teddy is her mama but Owen she sees you as her dad."

"Talk to both of us," Teddy said, "what do you want to tell us or ask us."

Josh began, "you know I've loved Annie from the first day I met her and she sat beside me in orientation. She's my favorite person on this planet and the absolute love of my life. I love her and I want to see her happy. I know we've been dating for less than two years but I'm sure. She's the one for me. I'm hoping that you'll give me your blessing."

"Josh what are you saying," Owen asked.

"Can I have your blessing to ask Annie to marry me," Josh said.

Teddy beamed, "you have mine. You make her happy and she loves you."

Owen smiled, "you don't need it but you have mine."

"Thank you," Josh said, "it means a lot to know you support us."

"We want you to be happy," Teddy said.

"You and Annie are a good team, I've seen that since the first time I saw you together," Owen said, "I'm happy for you."

Teddy asked, "can we see the ring?"

Josh smiled, "not until I give it to Annie. It's at Nathan's so she doesn't find it by accident. I told him not to tell Meghan where it is or that he's hiding it. She would tell you, I don't trust her to keep that secret."

Teddy asked, "do you have a plan?"

"I do," Josh said, "three weeks from now, our anniversary . Please don't tell her. We have a couple nights at an Airbnb on Whitbey island looking out over the water. I have it all planned."

"She's going to love it," Teddy said.

Owen said, "we won't. We're happy for you. She's a surgeon, have you thought of getting a chain that she can put her ring on in the OR? I've heard of a few who have lost their rings down scrub sinks."

"I hadn't," Josh said, "I will."

Teddy offered, "she wears her heart necklace every day she could put her ring with that when she's working. I don't wear mine at work. Neither does Meghan. Annie will want to wear hers as much as possible though."

Josh said, "That was a good idea."

Owen asked, "have you thought of when you would want to get married?"

"That's up to Annie," Josh said, "I'm still trying to figure out if I should call Chris about this."

"That's her brother," Owen said, "Nathan didn't ask me about Meghan. He didn't even ask mom. Let her tell him after."

"Do you need help with anything," Teddy asked.

"I have a whole weekend planned, could you tell me how to make those chocolate filled raspberries she loves," Josh asked.

"Give me the date and I'll make them," Teddy said, "it takes me 20 minutes. I spend more time tempering the chocolate then filling the berries."

"Can you teach me," Josh said, "I want to tell her I made them for her.

"I'm happy to help," Teddy said, "you make her happy."

"She knows we're going away," Josh said, " She doesn't have a clue about what I have planned, she doesn't even know where. It's the first time we'll go away together other than the cabin."

Teddy gushed, "that's a special weekend. She's going to be so happy."
