Thanks to everyone who reviewed my stories!

Kendall's POV:
Today was going to be a perfect day. I woke up nice and early, and put on my best shirt. I also knew that the shirt I was wearing was one of Jo's favorites. I combed my blonde hair, feeling just like James. Lord knows that he was the only one in the band to spend thirty minutes making sure his hair was just right. Most of the time I just combed it a little, and then let it go naturally. Today, though, I combed it for almost twenty minutes, making sure it was just right. Next, I made my way to the kitchen quietly, since everyone else in the apartment was still sleeping. I made four peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, two for me and two for Jo. Usually Jo would only eat one sandwich, but with two babies inside of her she has been feeling extra hungry lately. Next I packed some grapes, which were Jo's favorite fruit. I set the brown bag, with our lunches in it, back on the counter.
"What am I forgetting?" I thought. Then it hit me. I ran back over to my room, and then remembered that Logan, James, and Carlos were still sleeping in there. I cracked open the door, and slipped inside. Groping around in the dark, I searched the room for my wallet. Carlos grunted and turned over in his sleep. Finally, my hand closed over my wallet. I scooped it up and then made my way back out of the bedroom. I put my wallet in my jean's back pocket. I scribbled a quick note telling my mom and friends were I was going and that I should be back around three. I left it on the counter, where it can be easily spotted. I grabbed our lunch bag off the counter, and walked out of the apartment.
I made my way through the quiet halls of the Palm Woods. Everyone was still sleeping, since it was eight am. Finally I reached an apartment, at the end of the third floor hallway. I knocked twice on her door, shuffling my feet around as I waited. Finally I heard footsteps approaching the door, and it creaked open.
"Who is it?" Jo's voice said.
"It's me Kendall" I responded.
Suddenly the door flung open and arms wrapped around my neck. I put my hands around her waist and hugged her, which was starting to get difficult. Her baby bump seemed to grow more and more each day, and each day the bump kept me from holding her close against me. I rubbed her back, which she said had started hurting her. Finally we broke apart, reluctantly. I could hold her in my arms forever, but I had things planned. Jo looked like she had just awoken, still in a nightgown. Her hair was messy, knotted and tangled, but still beautiful. She was also wearing bunny slippers, which she had bought a few months ago when she went shopping with Camielle. Jo grabbed my free hand, that wasn't holding a brown bag, and led me into her apartment. I sat down at the counter, and watched as Jo poured coffee into two mugs. She walked back over to me, and handed me a green mug with flowers all over it. I sipped the coffee, grateful since I had woken up so early. She drank her own coffee out of a decorative orange mug with blue and white dots.
"So did I wake you up, Jo?" I asked her.
"As a matter of fact, yes you did." Jo said laughing.
"I'm sorry about that, but I planned a special day for the two of us."
"Yay I can't wait! Just give me a few minutes to get ready." Jo stood up and rushed off to her room, to shower and put on some clothes.
I finished off the last of my coffee and then went to sit down on the couch. I looked around Jo's apartment, observing what had changed. This was one of the first times I have been here in a while. Jo had been spending most of her time at my apartment with the guys lately. There were new picture frames up on the wall, showcasing our fun memories. There were some of us at the zoo, from when our relationship had just begun. Then there were more recent ones, from just weeks ago. It also looked like she had gotten all new chairs for the kitchen. These new ones were better, more modern. Her old ones belonged to her grandmother, when she was just a girl. Finally, there were boxes stacked behind the couch, full of baby supplies that we had bought together. Each box was labeled: FOR STACY AND JASON, in a bright blue sharpie. My thoughts about how renovated the apartment were interrupted when Jo's father stumbled out of his room.
"Jo who was at the door?" he said looking around, and then he spotted me.
"Hello Mr. Taylor. I'm sorry I woke you up, but I planned a special day for Jo and me. I wanted it to last all day, so I came here early. Jo is changing right now." I said apologetic.
"Oh that's all right Kendall. So how have you been?" he turned around and walked over to the pot of coffee that Jo had made earlier. He poured himself a nice tall glass full and then settled down on the couch across from me.
"Very good, sir. Have you and Mrs. Taylor been enjoying L.A?"
"Yeah L.A is very nice. And it has been fun seeing Jo again, and you. It has been so long since the last time we came up here to visit."
I nodded my head, and then fell silent when Jo walked out from her room. She was so beautiful, so stunning. I walked over to her and took her hand, gazing into her chocolate eyes. I smiled at her, ready for a day full of excitement.
"Ready to go?" I asked her.
She nodded, and then said goodbye to her dad, who was smiling at the two of us. He waved us off, and then I was leading Jo away, hand in hand.
Later that day…
"You wait here and I will go get us some tickets." I said, showing Jo a bench where she could sit down and relax.
I made my way through the crowds of people waiting for the park to open. Luckily, the line for tickets was short. Most people had already gotten tickets, or bought them online. A few girls ran up to me, asking for autographs and pictures. I agreed, not wanting to upset my fans, though I didn't really want to be doing this right now. Finally their moms called them back, and they left. I glanced up at the line of people In front of me for tickets. Only one more person was left and then it was my turn. The large man with an afro finished purchasing his tickets, and then I stepped up in line to the window.
"Two adult tickets, please." I told the brunette girl, who was working at the window. She picked up two tickets and then handed them to me.
"That will be twenty dollars." She said, in a bored voice. I reached into my wallet and pulled out a twenty and handed it to the worker. She nodded, and I walked away with two zoo passes in my hand. I walked back to Jo, who was sitting patiently on the bench where I had left her. She smiled when she saw me approaching, and then stood up.
"Two passes to a day full of fun at the zoo!" I said, handing Jo a ticket.
"Let's go!" she replied, taking my hand. We walked towards the gate opening, where everyone was moving towards, since the park had just opened. We handed the man collecting tickets our passes and then walked through the gate, which was painted decoratively with pictures of zoo animals. We went to the north side of the park first. We saw elephants, penguins, monkeys, and flamingos. When we reached the sea lion exhibit, we decided to take a break for lunch. I opened up the bag, and handed Jo two sandwiches, and kept two for myself. When Jo had finished her first sandwich, she smiled at me.
"You're a good cook." She said laughing. I laughed too, knowing that all I did to make these was spread store bought peanut butter and jelly on bread. When we had finished our gourmet sandwiches, I brought out the grapes, and Jo began eating them, delighted I brought her favorite fruit.
"So what was your favorite exhibit so far?" I asked Jo, though I already knew the answer.
"I liked the elephants." She said. "Because it reminded me of us. One mom, one dad, and two children.
I nodded, because they were my favorite too. We cleaned up our bags, and threw them out in a nearby trash can. Then we started the rest of the zoo. After a while longer, we had seen every animal in the park except for the giraffes. I had purposely saved them for last, knowing that they were Jo's by far favorite animal. When we reached their enclosure, Jo let out a quiet gasp at how beautiful and magnificent the giraffes were.
"This is my chance." I thought to myself as Jo stood gazing at the large animals in front of her. I reached into my pocket…
Jo's POV:
I loved giraffes, so I knew that Kendall would save them for last. Their amazing height and their breath taking pattern of brown and yellow.
"Aren't they beautiful, Kendall?" I said, turning to him. I gasped when I saw him.
Kendall was kneeling down on one knee, holding a case in his hands, with a ring in it.
"Jo Taylor," he began smiling at me. I opened my mouth in surprise, almost crying tears of joy. "I love you more than anything in the world. I have always loved you, from the day I asked you to be my girlfriend at this very spot. I hope that you feel the same way about me. I never want to be without you Jo. And now we are going to have two beautiful kids soon, and I love them as much as I love you. Will you marry me?" he finished, with a loving and hopeful look in his eyes.
"Yes Yes Kendall a million times yes! I do love you, and I never want to live without you!" I said taking his ring and placing it on my finger, with his help. Once it was on I looked up into his eyes, those breath taking green eyes. We kissed. Everything was perfect. I was soon to be Mrs. Jo Knight.
