Chapter 29: Forever
Three months later….
Marina woke up from her bed and turned and looked at her phone. She smiled seeing a text from her boyfriend. The text was mostly about business with an "I love you," at the end. Marina texted Peabody with an "I love you," back and a kiss face emoji. Marina then got out of bed and headed for the shower. Marina got out of the shower and dried off. She then headed for her closet and got out some clean. As she was putting on her clothes she heard her phone go off. Marina then walks over to her phone and sees a new text from Peabody. "Look out the window," Marina said out loud.
Marina looked out the window and looked at the street to find Peabody with pink flowers and chocolates in his paws. Marina smiled looking down at him. Peabody smiled back looking up at her. Marina chuckled before speaking. "What are you doing here?' Marina asked. Peabody chuckled. "I'm here for you my dear," Peabody said keeping his smile Marina shook her head. "But I thought I was going to meet you at work?" Marina asked. Peabody laughed, "Nope my today my dear!" Peabody called out. Marina was a little confused by this. "What do you mean not today?" Marina asked. "We're going to be busy with other things today. I would like for you to come down so we can do those things," Peabody said with a wide smile.
Marina smiled with a thought in her head. "Why don't you come up here first," Marina said with a laugh. Peabody only laughed. "As you wish my lady," Peabody said as he started to go up the fire escape. Marina quickly goes over to her desk and grabs a jacket. Once Peabody was her floor he came into the window and headed her the chocolates and the flowers. " Um Hector… These flowers are so beautiful," Marina said as she put them in vase. Peabody watches her puts the flowers in the vase then watches her walk over to him. Marina then kisses him on mouth. Peabody smiles as they kiss.
"So what's the plan for the day?" Marina asked with smile as she has her arms around him. "Let's go to the car and find out," Peabody said with a soft tone. Peabody and Marina both went out to the fire escape together and walked to Peabody's car. Once in the car Marina looked at Peabody. "Where is Thomas and Sherman?" Marina asked while getting her seat belt on. Peabody looked at her and smiled. "Thomas is out doing some Pepsi Emotion stuff and Sherman is at the Pennys house for the day. But they will be joining for dinner later," Peabody explained as he started the car. Peabody started driving off towards some stores for dresses, Marina got a little uneasy. "Where are we going?" Marina asked.
Peabody pulled up to a dress store and parked the car. Peabody turned and looked into her grey eyes. Marina looks past Peabody and noticed that they were at a dress store. "Hector. What are we doing here?" Marina asked confused. Peabody chuckled. "We're here to get a dress for you, for tonight's dinner," Peabody seat belt. Marina bit her lip and feeling sweat go down her face. "Hector… I'm sure about this. I don't comfortable wearing a dress," Marina said biting her lip again. Peabody puts his paws on her hand with loving smile on his face. "We don't have to do this if you don't want to," Peabody said softly. Marina looks away from Peabody and started to think. Marina then smiles at herself and looks back at Peabody. "Okay let's go find a dress," Marina said giving Peabody a kiss.
Peabody and Marina both get out of the car and head for the store. Once in the store Marina noticed that the store was empty but with only employees. "I forgot to mention that I rented the store out just for us. So you can feel a little more comfortable while shopping," Peabody said as he clapped his paws together. Marina was a little lost while looking at all the kinds of dresses there was in the store. Marina looked at Peabody who still had a smile on his face and kept his paws together. "You can pick whatever dress you want," Peabody said with a nod. Marina nodded back and started looking for a dress. Marina was trying on some dresses in the dressing room.
Marina found some dresses that Peabody might like. But most of them were too small or too revealing of skin and other body parts. Marina then finally found the one. It was a light ice blue cocktail dress that made her grey eyes the star of the show. "I think I found the one!" Marina called out. Peabody stood by the door and wagged his tail. "That's Great!" Peabody said with a smile. "I'll go pay for the dress and wait in the car for you. I want to see the at dinner," Peabody said as he walked away to pay for the dress. "Okay!" Marina called out as she was taking off the dress. After a few minutes of getting her clothes back on and getting the dress up front and getting it into a black bag. Maraina walked to the car.
Marina puts the dress into the back of Peabody's car and then sits herself the passenger seat. "So. Where too next Hector?" Marina asked. Peabody only smiled as he drove off. "Where are we going?" Marina asked. Peabody only laughed as he was heading for the airport. Marina was again confused. "Okay first you show up, at my apartment with flowers and chocolates and take me shopping for a dress and now we're heading for the airport. Hector what are you planning to do with me?" Marina asked looking at him. Peabody again only laughed. "So many things to do so little time," Peabody replied as they pulled up to a private jet
Marina got out of the car and grabbed her dress from the back and walked with Peabody to the jet. Marina sat down in her seat as Peabody then sat next to her. "Hector will you please tell me where we're going?" Marina asked as the jet started up and started to take off. "We're going to seattle washington I have a few more surprises for you," Peabody said with a smile as he kissed her head. Marina blushed and smiled at the same time as Peabody kissed her head. After an hour on the flight. Marina was looking out the plane window day dreaming. It still ran In Marina's mind about this whole thing. Why was Hector Peabody doing all this for her when he could do it for anyone else in the world. Peabody then puts his paw on her hand which snaps her out of her day dream.
"You seem a little uneasy. Are you alright?".Peabody asked. Marina looked into his green eyes. "Why are you doing this for me?" Marina asked. Peabody then took a deep breath. "I mean like… no guy has ever done this for me. Why are you being so nice to me?" Marina asked again standing up. Peabody took another deep breath and smiled. "Because I love you and care for you," Peabody said as he stood and got close to her and started to put his paws around her waist. "And my kids love you," Peabody said softly as he kissed her. Marina kissed him back feeling tears falling from her face. Marina felt happy for once in her lifetime, she felt truly happy.
A few hours laters they landed in seattle. Peabody and Marina step out of the jet and headed for their rental car. The sun was setting as Peabody started driving towards the space needle. "It's so pretty here," Marina said while watching the sunset. Peabody only smiled as they drove into the parking lot. Of the space needle. Peabody and Marina went up in the elevator. "I rented us the whole space needle for our dinner tonight," Peabody said with smile. Marina gasped at that. "Really? You didn't have to do that for me," Marina said looking at Peabody. Peabody only smiled as the elevator door opened. Marina was surprised to see that Thomas and Sherman were already at the table talking and laughing.
"Marina!" Sherman shouted in happiness as he stood up from his chair and ran over and gave Marina a hug. Marina was overjoyed as she hugged Sherman back. "Hey buddy," Marina said with a smile. Thomas walked up to his father showing him a little surprise. "Thomas! You.. You...dyed your hair?" Peabody said looking at his son's hair. "Yeah I thought you might like it," Thomas said with a smile as he puts his hands in his pocket. Marina smile as she noticed something else about his hair. "You also cut it and pulled it over to the side. It's cute," Marina said with a smile as she touched his hair. Before they all had dinner Marina went to the restroom and changed into her dress that she picked out earlier.
Peabody, Thomas and Sherman all sat down at their table. "I thought you were going to dye your hair after… well you know. And I didn't give you the okay for you to cut your hair. But it looks more mature I like it," Peabody said with a smile. Thomas chuckled as he looked at his father. "Dad. After tonight it's a new beginning for all of us," Thomas said with a smile. Peabody then turned and looked at the bathroom and saw that Marina was walking out of the restroom. Peabody couldn't keep his eyes off of Marina and her cocktail dress. But what really Peabody couldn't get his eyes off of was Marina's grey eyes that was making the dress shine.
"Is something wrong Hector?" Marina asked. Peabody opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. "Dad?" Thomas said looking at his father. Peabody shook himself out of his trance. "Sorry Marina. You just look so great," Peabody said with a smile. Marina only chuckled as she sat down next to Peabody. "Thank you," Marina said putting her hand down on Peabody's warm paw. Peabody continued to stare into Marina's eyes as he smile. "You're welcome," Peabody said in a soft tone. After they all ate dinner. Thomas stood up and walked over to a wall that had a curtain over it. "Okay…. So I want to show you guys my new cover art for Pepsi emotion," Thomas said as he looked at his dad.
Peabody then nodded at his son for the okay to pull the curtain down. Thomas smiled as he pulled the curtain down. Marinas eyes widen as the curtain fell. Behind the curtain was a spray printed portrait of a Pepsi logo shaped heart with a hand inside of it and the hand with wearing a ring on their finger. At first Marina was confused. Until she turned and looked at Peabody who was now on the ground on one knee holding out a ring in a small little box. Marina gasped as she cover her mouth and her eyes started to water with tears. "Marina Brooke Goodwin. When you're around me and my boys, you just make us see the best sides of ourselves. And I just really want to spend my forever with you. If you would let me," Peabody said with a smile. Marina was still so speechless.
"What I'm really trying to say Ms. Goodwin is… will you marry me?" Peabody asked almost tearing up himself. Marina felt the tears fall from her face as she nodded. "Yes of course," Marina spoke up from her tears as she kneeled down and kissed him. Thomas and Sherman both smiled as they clapped for their father to now be getting a wife. The night ended in happiness as Marina looked into the mirror of the ladies restroom. Marina smiled as she looked down at her ring. "Marina Brooke Peabody," Marina said still looking at the ring. Marina loved the sound that name. Marina then left the restroom with a smile on her face as she turned out the lights of the restroom and headed home with her soon to become family.
