Ida sat comfortably on the couch in Jane and Octavius house in the Roman Empire. While a now four month old Julius, drank from the bottle she was feeding him. Ida had happily agreed to watch Julius for Jane and Octavius, so they could get out. This had not happened in awhile since Julius had been born.

"Hey, Ida," Jedidiah greeted as he walked in, sitting down next to Ida. "So how is my godson?"

Smiling, "Julius is doing well, he about to go down for a nap, right after his milk." Ida said grabbing a blanket with one hand.

"Good," Jed replied, "drink up; you need get big and strong." Jed told a very drowsy Julius. "Looks as if someone is finished."

Laying the baby in the little cradled, Julius fell right to sleep. "Man, that boy can sure fall asleep fast."

"He sure finish a bottle fast," Ida replied.

"So Ida can you and me go out tomorrow there is something I need to talk to you about," Jed said.

"Yeah. What do you want to talk to me about?" Ida asked.

"You will just have to wait," Jed said, "well I gotta go I'll see ya tomorrow night."

As Jed walked away, he thought about tomorrow night.

'I'm actually going to do it. I hope she doesn't reject Me.' he thought.

…….

Jed and Ida sat on a picnic blanket in the African room.

"Ida…there is something I've been wanting to ask you for a while now," Jed began, little balls of sweat running down his face from how nervous he was.

Ida had never seen Jed behave this way, "Are you feeling well?"

"Oh, yes, yes I'm fine," Jed replied.

"Alright, what was it that you wanted to ask me?"

Breathing, "Well Ida, I….I…I love you. More than anything in the whole world, will you do me the honor as to…marry me?" Jed asked giving Ida a small golden ring.

Ida was breathless. "Yes!"

"You're serious. You will?" Jed asked.

"Of Course," Ida said through her tears.

Jed placed the ring on her finger. Then they kissed and he spun her around.

"You have just made me the happiest man on earth," Jed said.

"You have just made me the happiest woman on earth," Ida said, "I love you Jedidiah."

"And I love you too, Ida," Jed said.

Then they kissed.
