White Lilies

Chapter Fifteen: Say Yes

Hey so ummh next chapter is the final chapter for this story. You guys ready? Yeah? Say yes! Oh this chapter well contain a lot of Bobby cause I feel like they should talk more since they are technically best friends. Well lets get to it!

~ 20 years ago ~

"Do you know why we are good friends Laurel?" Bobby spoke with his mouth filled with food making Laurel cringed from the sight. Before she could answer him, he continued to speak, "because when we first met we were both outcasts. We didn't belong to a certain group and naturally we became the best of friends."

"I'm sensing that this conversation is going to end with something about Peter." They had only starting dating for about a month at this point and Bobby has always spoken openly about his feelings against them.

"What I'm saying is, how long can you stay the constant stares from other men and the glares of other girls before you crack under the pressure? I've known you for almost our entire lives and I know that you profoundly hate confrontations. You hate being noticed in the crowd and you learned how to blend in so well that sometimes I don't even notice you."

"I'm not sure if you're telling me something I don't know or not."

"I'm saying I don't like Peter. You're my best friend and I can't stand the thought of your heart being broken by some douchebag like Hale is. I don't like you guys together and I think it's slowly killing you."

He was more than right; she hated it when he paraded her around like some trophy. She hated the feeling of being watched all the damn time like she was a celebrity. She shrunk into her chair biting her lower lip out of habit.

"You only bite your lip when you're extremely awkward. Look I'm just saying I would never approve of you dating Peter and I'm sticking through it."

"I see, I'm sorry you feel that way."

~Present~

It was two more weeks until spring break gave Laurel some breathing room to relax, who knew that getting back with Peter meant constant danger. Last two months was probably the most stressful she had ever seen Scott, turns out that he was a natural alpha. He accidently bit a freshman named Liam and turned him into a werewolf, she swears that no one in this town was human. Bobby walked into her classroom holding Chinese takeout in his hand; he was one interesting fellow for sure. He had a temper and usually takes it out on the lacrosse team but he generally cared for his students and team except for one named Greenberg, he hated that poor kid's gut for some reason.

"I bought orange chicken and chow mien for you. They gave me extra eggrolls too!" Bobby reminded Laurel that being oblivious to the supernatural world was a huge blessing. He sets the white take out boxes on the edge of her desk and pulled out two pairs of chopsticks out of his pockets. "Admit it, I'm the best!"

"You're something Bobby." He pulled up a chair and sat across from his best friend; she pulled her hair back into a loose ponytail and took one of the chopsticks from him. "How was class?"

"Good." He wrapped the chow mien noodles around his chopsticks and swallowed it whole without chewing it. "So... you and Hale."

"Peter and I?"

"Together again..."

"We are dating, yes."

"When is he going to pop the question? You guys have a freaking kid together! You think it's time to tie the knot?"

"Why are you talking about it to me? Do you want me to buy him chocolate and flowers then propose to him?"

"That is too desperate even for you." She was careful not to use her full strength when she punched Bobby in the chest. "Do you want to be married to him?"

"Can you imagine him being married at all?"

"Ah… do you want the nice answer or the truthful one? Look I've seen how he treats you and how you look at him with those big groggily eyes of yours. I don't need a PH.D to know that you guys are in love with each other. " Bobby sets down his chopsticks and sighed, "I'm saying you guys need to be together. Hell since Nick passed away, I'll walk you down the aisle and give you to Peter." The whole aura of the room changed after he said that, she knew how much he didn't like Peter but for him to even mention giving her to him meant a lot to her.

"Thanks Bobby. That means so much to me."

Laurel sat by the windowsill in Peter's apartment and stared out at the rain drops hitting the window planes. Drip… Drip.. Her fingers traced the lines as the drop slid down the cold glass, she knew at one point she had to tell him. She couldn't keep it a secret for long; she was going to show at some point. It was never easy and she didn't know how Peter would react when he found out. Peter was in the kitchen preparing their dinner for the night; it was a sweet change for once. The table was set and the candles illuminated the room enough so they didn't have to turn on the light and waste electricity, the perks of not being a human. 'It'll be fine…' She repeated in her mind over and over again hopefully it would give her some ounce of confidence.

Peter tip-toed over to her and placed his hand on her bare back causing to flinch from his warm touch. She turned to him and looked at him with those big brown eyes, they made her look so innocent and he loved that about her. "You look like a doll when you have that vacant stare." She scooted over and let him sit behind her and hold her in his chest; his muscular arms wrapped themselves over her shielding her from everything bad in the world. He rested his chin on top of her head, "It seems that we both have a lot on our minds tonight."

She leaned against him smiling from the warmth he was emitting, like her own personal heater. It must have been a coyote thing because Malia complains about the cold a lot too. Laurel closed her eyes just enjoying her time being in his arms. "Not sure if it is a good thing now you mentioned it." It felt so good to feel his arms around her, it was warm and comforting, and it just felt so right like this was what she was missing out through her life. She felt complete like she wasn't broken anymore; this was where she wanted to be.

"Well it's a good thing on my end, at least I hope so." Drip… They were both nervous the worst part was they didn't know what their partner was thinking. "Wish for the best."

"Wish? I didn't even know you knew that word. I thought Peter didn't wish that he just made it happened." His lips curled into a soft smile as she teased him. "How's dinner coming along?"

"It's finished actually. I just wanted to spend some quality time together. We should get to eating before the chicken gets cold don't you think?" He patted her thigh gesturing her to get up, she hopped off of him and pulled him up to his feet, he was a few inches taller than her now close to half a foot. She peered up at him through her bangs while Peter leaned in and pressed his lips against her lightly. "Let's get this night started."

They walked over to the table, the roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, and grilled chicken with thyme was plated like they were eating at some fancy restaurant. He pulled the chair out for her to sit in, it was all too strange for her. He sat across from her, "It looks amazing…"

"Thanks, it better taste as good as it looks, since I made it through it'll be amazing."

"That lack of damn self-confidence is strong in you isn't it?" She cut in to the chicken slowly, it was nice and juicy. She took a bite out of the chicken and the taste was simple but amazing. The rosemary, thyme, and lime worked so well together, it made her tongue orgasm. "Peter. . . this is-"

"Amazing right?" He gave her a mischievous smile with a wink, "I know." Most of the conversation was short while they ate. "You know I was going to wait until the end of dinner but closed your eyes.

"Should I be scared?" She asked slowly while she shut her eyes tightly, she could hear him get up from his seat and move towards her.

"Open them." She gradually opened her eyes to see Peter kneeled next of her pulling out a small black box from his pockets. She was stuck for words as he opened the small black to reveal a diamond ring, "I want you to be my mate and wolves only have one mate for the rest of their life. I want you to spend the rest of your life being next to me. I should have done this a long time ago. Laurel West can I have you for the rest of my life?"

"Pe…ter." She covered her mouth and nodded her head, "Of course you can I would love nothing more than that." He took her small hand into his and slid the cold ring on to her ring finger, claiming her as his once more. "I guess tonight should be full of surprises."

"What do you mean?"

"We're going to get that second chance as being parents after all. I'm one month pregnant, Peter."

She closed her eyes once more trying to keep the anxiety at bay, she felt he kiss her forehead, "This time we'll do it together as a family."

"Let's tell her Peter."

Here is the shorty and a sneak peak at the next chapter.

"Just tell her."

"Okay mister I planned my own resurrection, walk me through it."

"She comes in, we sit down to eat, you say I'm the father and we live all merry."

"Not one of the most elaborate plan you ever had, by the way, it isn't Maury honey. Something more original and thought out please?"

"Who the fuck is Maury?" Laurel broke down laughing as she gripped the counter for support, he wasn't the one to watch brain damaging things like that so his expression and reaction was absolutely hilarious to her.
