A/N: Hey guys sorry it's been a while since I have updated this story but I have been working on a couple new stories so check them out.
Chapter 12 – A Night Out
2 weeks later
(TPOV)
I'm finally out of the hospital and I'm happy. We are staying in L.A. two more days and then we are heading back to Harmony. I wanted to do some shopping so I was with my mom, Kay, Fancy, Sheridan, Eve, Ivy, and Whitney. We left the guys at the hotel with Little Ethan and Miles. It was fun just being a girl's day out. I still had to take it easy and I hated it but that was alright. I was finally where I belonged and that was with my beloved Ethan.
I still couldn't believe that we were together. I have never been so happy in my life and just to think in about six and a half to seven months we would have two more children together. I was worrying about what Gwen had planned but I really didn't care anymore. I knew that no matter what she did that she wouldn't be able to come between Ethan and me ever again. Ethan had told me just this morning that he had talked to a lawyer and that the divorce papers were being drawn up. I couldn't be happier. I want to be with him for the rest of my life.
As we were passing a story I stopped and looked in the window. I saw the perfect dress and I just had to have it. Everyone stopped beside me and I said "We have to go into this store. I see a dress that I just have to have." They all grinned and we headed into the story. I went straight to dress and went and tried it on. After I had it on I stepped out of the changing room and heard my family gasp and then everyone was saying "Theresa you have to buy that dress. It's made for you." I smiled and went back in and changed back into my regular clothes and then went up and paid for the dress. After we each stopped and bought some more stuff from a couple of shops we headed back towards the hotel. I had to get ready for my date with Ethan tonight.

I am so happy. The love of my life is out of the hospital. I am taking her out on a date tonight and I think I am going to propose. I know that my divorce is not final yet with Gwen but I can still propose to my Theresa. I figure that if I propose now she will have time to plan the wedding and then as soon as my divorce is final we can set the date. With what the lawyer told me it should not take long for the divorce to be final at all because of everything Gwen has done.
Sam, Julian, and Luis are helping me with the plans for tonight. I already have the ring picked out Sam and I went and did that this morning while the girls went out shopping. Luis has called and ordered a Limo and Julian called the restraunt and made reservations. They would be watching over Little Ethan while we are out tonight. The girls know what I have planned but they were told not to tell Theresa. I know my mom is excited and is very happy for me. I do not know why but I am nervous. I know that Theresa loves me and wants to be with me but I am still nervous.
I look at the clock and notice its time to get ready. I am to pick her up in an hour. I heard a knock on my door and I go and open it. My mom and Sam are standing there along with Julian and Eve. I look at them curiously and mom said "Theresa has the rest of the girls with her while the guys are with Little Ethan. We thought we would come and spend some time with you and see if you have everything ready." I smiled at her and motioned them to come on in. I said "You guys can have a seat while I go and grab a quick shower." They all nodded and sat down talking while I went into the bathroom and took me a quick shower. As I was drying off I remembered that I did not pack me a suit to wear and I wanted to look extra nice. I opened the bathroom door a little and said "Dad can you come here please?" I heard someone knock on the door and then there was Sam. He looked at me and said "What is it son?" I did not know what to say so I just said "Dad I do not have a suit for tonight and I want to look extra nice. What am I going to do?" He looked at me and then said "Julian we need you for a minute." I still could not believe how well those two are getting along.
Julian came into the bathroom and looked at Sam and me and said "What's wrong?" I just shook my head as Sam said "Ethan doesn't have a suit and he wants to wear one tonight." I heard Julian laugh and then he said "No problem I will make a call and have one sent up brand new. You have to look your best Ethan since you are going to propose tonight." I smiled sheepishly at them as they left the room. I could hear my mom say "Is Ethan alright? Did he need something?" I then heard Sam say "He is alright sweetheart but he didn't have a suit so Julian is calling and ordering one to be sent here brand new." I heard my mom chuckle along with Eve.

I had just got out of the shower when there was a knock on my door. I put my robe on and then went and answered it. Standing in the hallway was my mom, Kay, Sheriden, Fancy, and Whitney. I looked at them and Fancy said "We came to help you do your hair and make up." I smiled and nodded and let them in. I was nervous and I don't know why. It is just a date with Ethan but maybe I was nervous because this was our first official date since getting back together. I sat down on the chair in front of the mirror and Fancy came up behind me with a blow dryer and started drying my hair. I couldn't hold it in any longer and said "Am I stupid for being nervous Fancy?" She met my eyes in the mirror and said "No, Theresa I do not think you are stupid at all. I know you love Ethan and you guys have been back together a couple weeks now but its not stupid to be nervous. I still get nervous every time Luis and I have a date. I think that is what love does to you. It makes you nervous." I looked at her and smiled and said "Thanks Fancy you made me feel better." She smiled and went back to blow drying my hair.
After Fancy got done with my hair Sheriden, Whitney and Kay started on my make up. They wouldn't allow me to look into the mirror until they were finished. Once they were done doing my make up my mom came over and helped slip the dress over my head. It still hurt to lift my arms to high because of my ribs. Once the dress was on they let me turn towards the mirror and look. I couldn't believe that was me standing there. I looked very beautiful. I heard a click and turned to see mom holding a camera. I lifted an eyebrow at her and she said "I want us to be able to remember this day for forever. I want you to look back on tonight and realalise how beautiful you are." I smiled and hugged her as there was a knock on my door. None of them would let me get the door but as soon as it opened I stood there and my mouth dropped open. Ethan looked like heaven and I could feel my heart start to pound even harder as I took a step towards him.

My pulse started hammering when I saw Theresa. She looked like an angel in the blue dress. She had on a white shawl over her dress because it was a halter top style. She looked like she was my own personal angel and I have never seen her look more beautiful. I stepped into the room and say "Theresa you look wonderful tonight. You just took my breath away." I saw her blush as I leaned down and kissed her and then I asked "Are you ready to go?" She looked around and gave everyone a hug and then said "Yes, Ethan I have been waiting for tonight for a long time." I smiled at her as we walked out of the hotel room and to the elevator. We were not going far but we had to take the elevator up. I was taking her to the rooftop restraunt. I could not wait to see what she thinks about tonight. Tonight is for her and I really hope she likes it.
I heard her gasp as we stepped out onto the roof. The restraunt is exclusive and it has twinkling white and blue lights hanging all over the place. We were lead to a private table that had a breathtaking view. I held her chair out for her and seated her before I sat down. I grabbed her hand and said "I hope you enjoy tonight Theresa. I love you very much." I planned to propose to her when desert came and I hoped that I could hold out that long. We sat there talking about anything and everything until the waiter came to take our orders. After ordering I looked at Theresa and said "I hope you know how happy you make me. I have never been happier than I am at this moment but I think that will change later on tonight." She blushed and I chuckled at what she must think I meant. Our food arrives and we eat with one hand each because neither of us want to let go of the others hand.
After we ate our main course I looked at Theresa and said "What would you like for desert my love?" She looked at me and then said "Anything chocolate." I looked at the waiter and he said "Shall I surprise you guys then? And would you like more wine?" I nodded at him and he walked away. As soon as the desert got here I was going to propose. I couldn't wait until I could pop the question. I said "Theresa you look so beautiful tonight. I know I have told you before but I just had to tell you again." I could see her blushing but she said "Ethan, thank you. You have made tonight one of the best nights of my life. I love you very much and you look very handsome. Almost good enough to eat." I could feel my face heating up with that last sentence but thankfully the waiter had returned with her desert and our wine.
After the waiter sat Theresa's desert down I stood up and took the box out of my pocket. I could see that Theresa was looking at me so I smiled at her. I then got down on one knee and opened the box and then took her hand in mine and said "Theresa, I love you with everything inside of me. I have loved you for years but did not realalise how much until I thought I had lost you. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" I could see that she started to tear up and then she said "Yes, Yes, Yes, Ethan I will. I love you and nothing would make me happier than becoming your wife." I stood up and pulled her up and kissed her and we came back to the world with clapping. I looked around and noticed that all of the people that was at this restraunt was on their feet and clapping for us.
