I know that I always say this, but I'm really sorry for not updating this story. If I'm being honest, I kinda get bored of it, I don't really know how to keep this story going, so sorry if I rushed the finale (that is the next chapter).
I wanted to finish it for you, 'cause I hate when writers don't finish their stories and all. So, for the ones that are still here, here you have chapter five! Let me know what you think about it on the comments ;D
Maggie reaches her back pocket looking for the Taboo's card.
She overreacted a little.
Okay, she overreacted A LOT. But who can blame her? Detective Maggie Sawyer thinking about spending the rest of her life next to someone. And not just someone. With Alex.
After thinking about it, like really thinking about it, she realized that she wasn't afraid of spending her life with Alex. She was afraid of the thought of being dependent on someone. The thing that she fought against for such a long time after everyone she loved walked away. And she realized that she was already dependent on Alex. She was dependent on Alex's smile, of Alex's kisses, of Alex's heat.
She was dependent of their lazy Sundays mornings, of their movie nights, of the Superfriends, of everything involving Alex. So, she was already lost and she didn't care.
But now here she was, freaking out about a fucking word in a fucking card about a fucking board game.
Said fucking card that she can't find right now.
"Emm... Mags?" Alex knocks on the bathroom door.
"Shit" Maggie murmurs "I'm almost out!"
"Oh... Okay. I'll wait in our room"
"Okay honey!" she answers with a high pitched voice.
What the fuck is wrong with me? Maggie thinks as she steps out of the bathroom. It's now or never.
"Mags? It's everything okay? You kinda fr-"
"I know, sorry for that. But I need you to forget that and listen to me for a minute" Maggie says as she walks pass Alex to her side of the bed. "I don't even know where to start here" she crosses her arms over her chest.
"D-Do you w-wanna break up?" Alex asks with sadness in her voice.
"What? No no no. Of course I don't wanna break up. You are stuck with me" Maggie walks to where Alex is, cupping her face between her hands. "I love you Alex Danvers"
"You too. Forever." Alex says making a little grin giving Maggie a little kiss on her nose, making her smile.
"Wait, I still want to tell you something" Maggie says moving away a little "You lying in that hospital bed a few weeks ago was the hardest thing that happened to me. It was the scariest and the most difficult thing for me to walk through. Just the thought of you unconscious, connected to that tubes and cables makes me want to cry, Alex." She says holding back a sob "I couldn't believe the amount of things that we didn't do, I couldn't believe the amount things that we have in our future. So..." Maggie walks back to her nightstand, she opens the draw and Alex watches her pulling out a little box.
"Mags..." Alex says in a whisper. Maggie walks back to her girlfriend.
"Will you marry me?" Maggie says opening the little box, showing a simple and beautiful silver band with little diamonds.
Alex felt like she couldn't talk. Like she couldn't move. 'At least she is blinking' Maggie thought.
"Al? You still here?" Maggie asks with a chuckle. "I need an answer, 'cause I'm kinda freaking out over here. Again"
"No no" Alex says shaking her head. When she realizes what she said, and she sees the look on Maggie's face, she stops. "Wait. Not no"
Maggie exhales a heavy breath "Thanks Rao" she chuckles "So, that's a yes?"
"Of course it's a yes" Alex says cupping Maggie's face "It's the biggest yes in the history of proposals" She lowers her head in order to leave a soft kiss in her fiancée's lips.
"Nerd" Maggie says all dimples.
"Yeah yeah. Now, are you putting that ring on my finger or I have to do it myself?"
They chuckle at that and Maggie grabs Alex's hand between her own and softly puts the ring in Alex's finger, relieve that the ring suits perfectly.
"It's beautiful, Mags" Alex smiles, still looking at the ring.
''You are beautiful" Maggie says making Alex blush. Alex cups Maggie's face and kisses her gently. Maggie deepens the kiss tightening her grip on Alex's hips. She was about to take her now fiancé's shirt when her phone rings.
"Fuck" Maggie says dropping her hands from Alex's shirt.
"It could be important" Alex kisses Maggie's temple.
"It's from the precinct" Maggie says looking oddly at the ID. "Sawyer"
"Mags? We have a lead on Alex's shooter"
