"Okay, open your eyes."
Catherine looked at the question that was in sand.
"Please spend the rest of my life with me. Will you marry me?"
/
Catherine read the message twice, almost in shock she was not expecting this at, before she looked at Steve, who was now on bended knee.
"I have loved you for the last eight years, I know that I was to scared to tell you at first and I almost messed what we have up. I will always be grateful that you gave me a second chance and the only thing I would change about the last seven years is I should have proposed to you then. I love you and I want to share the rest of my life with you. I promise you that you and Sawyer will always come first and I will always love and respect you." He told her as he pulled out the ring.
She was still staring at him, she could tell he was nervous but it was like she couldn't talk, she had dreamed about this day. She took a deep breath before trying to say anything.
"I love you the only person who has every came close to that love is Sawyer." She told him, as she started to cry.
He waited for her to finish.
"Yes, I will marry you."
He slipped the ring on her finger, before he stood up to kiss her.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you, Sailor." Before she kissed him again.

In the house.
They all watched in silence, watching as Steve went to down to one knee. Tricia realized what was happening, she smiled looking at James.
"What is daddy doing?"
"He is asking your mommy an important question." James told her.
The whole group looked at him.
"Just in case she doesn't correctly."
"You really think that is going to happen?" Danny asked.
"No, I think she will answer exactly how we all think she will."
"Good because he has been nervous since he bought the ring." Kono told him.
"He would do anything to make her happy." Chin chiming in.
"We both know how much he loves and respects her. We are just glad that he finally has a family that understands and loves him for him. He knows that James and I have considered him part of our family since before Sawyer was born but you can see the change that each of you have brought out in him." Tricia told them before looking back outside.
They watched as he slipped the ring on her finger before kissing her.
"Sawyer, go to mommy and daddy." James as he put her down before opening the door.

Catherine and Steve only broke apart when they heard Sawyer call for them.
"Mommy, Daddy!" as she ran to them.
Catherine smiled when Steve lifted her up towards the sky with a smile on his face.
"Did Mommy answer your question?" she asked as Steve put her on his hip.
"What question?" Catherine asked.
"I don't know but papaw said it was important."
Catherine looked up at the house, seeing everyone gathered outside now.
"They are giving us time." Steve told her.
"I answered your daddy's question."
"What did he ask?"
"I asked your mommy to marry me." He explained as Catherine started crying again.
Sawyer looked at Catherine then Steve then back to Catherine.
"Is that why you are crying?"
"I am crying because I am happy."
"Oh. Did you say yes?"
"I said yes."
Steve smiled as he listened to Sawyer and Catherine.
"Do you know what that means?" Steve asked Sawyer.
"That you and mommy are getting married."
"Exactly."
"When?"
"We are not sure yet." Catherine told her.
Steve sat her down and whispered in her ear, she smiled before she ran up to the others.
"What is she doing?"
"Watch." He replied smiling.
Catherine smiled as she watched Sawyer stop in the middle of the yard.
"She said YES!" she yelled at the group standing on the lanai.
Catherine started laughing.
"Did anyone really doubt that I would?" she asked as they moved towards the yard.
"No-one who knew."
"Who didn't know?"
"Your mom, Leilani, Sawyer, Gracie, and Gabby. The guys helped me and Kono made sure you were gone long enough." He explained before the group made it to them.
Tricia hugged Catherine before moving to Steve, James quickly hugged his daughter quickly before the rest of the group started with hugs and congratulations. Catherine showed everyone her ring before kissing Steve again, she noticed that Kono was taking pictures with her phone.
"Kono, can you please take pictures of the writing in the sand?"
"Absolutely."
When Chin and Danny came back with drinks for everyone they waited until Kono joined them again before Danny said anything.
"I want to say congratulations, we all love the three of you and can't wait to watch this family grow. Cath if you need any help keeping him in line all you have to do is call Chin or myself and we will put him in place, not that we think you couldn't do it."
Steve rolled his eyes but Catherine just smiled.
"Danny's right anything the three of you need, one of you better call. I don't want to get to mushy but we have been waiting for this to happen for a long time. Ho'omaika'I'ana."
James looked at Tricia before he said anything.
"We couldn't be happier than we are right now. Cath, you have always been the best at everything you do and as I told Steve earlier no man will ever be good enough for you. That being said I couldn't have chosen a better man for you, not only does he love you but he respects and supports you and makes you happy. Your mother and I knew that this would be happening the first time you bought him to meet us, we love the two of you. Congratulations."
James shook Steve's hand before giving Catherine another hug.
"Just make sure we are here when you get married." Tricia told them.
"There is no way we would get married without the two of you here." Catherine told them.
"She's right. I want to thank everyone for helping me today and being here."
"To Catherine, Sawyer, and Steve." Kono says before raising her glass.
