"Rog, you gotta get ready. You have to be at the club in a half an hour for sound check." Mark yelled through their bedroom door.
"I'm right here Mark." he told him coming out of his old room with Marty.
"I wish you two would pick a room and stick to it. You're making me nuts." he said laughing as he went into the kitchen.
"Oh come on Marky. You only live once." Marty said as she and Roger held each other tight.
"Nah Baby, you can tell him. We like screwing with you." Roger said kissing her head.
"Yeah that sounds about right." Mark said drinking his water.
"Oh Honey, be nice. It can't be easy for Mark being here with us." Marty said smiling up at Mark.
"You got that right." Mark said laughing.
"Um guys, can we go please? I don't want to be late for my first show in almost 5 years." Roger said smiling at Marty.
"OK, we're coming. I'm so excited. I'm actually gonna see you on stage." Marty said kissing him before putting her jacket on.
"Yeah well you've wanted it for 4 months." he said putting his leather jacket on and grabbing his guitar case.
"Honey, you've been working really hard. You're gonna be great." Marty told him before they left the loft.
"Davis, we're on." Nick said patting Roger on the shoulder as he held Marty in his arms.
"Thanks Nick." Roger said smiling at Marty kissing her. "Wish me luck Baby." he said holding her close.
"Honey, you're gonna rock this place. I love you." she said holding him tight.
"I love you too Baby. I'm singing for you." he told her caressing her face before kissing her one last time before going up on stage.
"Go Roger." she yelled as she, Mark, Collins, Maureen and Joanne ran to the front.
"Hey, how's everybody doing tonight?" Roger asekd as the crowd erupted in applause.
"I love you Roger." Marty yelled jumping up and down cheering for him.
"I love you too Baby." he said giving her a wink. "I'm Roger Davis and we are Proof Positive. We have a great show in store for you, so let's get started." he announced as the music started. Roger began singing. He stared at Marty the whole time. She gushed. Singing along to every song. "I'm gonna slow it down for our last song. I wrote this song for my girlfriend, Marty a few months ago. It's called Rescue Me." he said as Maureen put her arm around Marty's shoulders.
"Sweetie, this is a beautiful song." she whispered in Marty's ear.
"Yeah it is." Marty answered as tears filled up her eyes.
"Baby, when I rescued you, you rescued me." he announced at the end of the song as the crown exploded.
"I love you Roger." she mouthed wiping her eyes.
"I love you too Marty. Will you marry me, Margaret O'Brien?" he asked as the crown hushed.
"Are you serious Roger." she asked as he took his guitar off and reached out for her to join him on stage.
"I've never been more serious Baby. I love you and want to spent the rest of my life with you." he told her taking a small engagement ring out of his pocket.
"Roger, I want to spend the rest of my life with you too. Of course I'll marry you. Yes." she told him crying as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Looks like I'm getting married." he announced as he slipped the ring on her finger and picked her up to kiss her.
"Go Roger." the bohemians shouted clapping as Mark got it all on film.
"Did you know about this?" Joanne asked with tears streaming down her face.
"Of course I knew. You know how bad Roger is at keeping secrets." Mark said laughing as Roger and Marty kissed, still on stage.
"Way to go Roger." Collins said congratulating them as they came off stage.
"Thanks Collins." he said holding her in his arms.
"Now we need to celebrate. Roger Davis' return to the music world and him finally asking Marty to marry him." Collins shouted hugging them.
"And me being smart enough to say yes." she said holdin him tight.
"Champagne all around." Collins told the bartender.
"Will beer do?" the bartender asked smiling.
"Yeah, we don't need champagne. We can drink plenty of that at our wedding." Roger said smiling as they toasted. "To my beautiful bride to be. I love you. Thank you for saying yes." he continued raising his bottle.
"And to you Roger. You have been my everything. My hero, my protecter, my caregiver, my love and now you're my husband to be. Wow, we've come a long way in 7 months. I went from having nothing to having everything a girl could ever want. I love you so much Roger." she said crying as he put his bottle down to hold her.
"I meant what I said. You rescued me the night I found you." he whispered to her as he held her tight.
"I want your song to be our wedding song." she insisted still holding him.
"OK Baby. Anything you want." he told her as everyone looked on.
"I'm sorry Roger. I'm just so happy right now. I have never been happier than I have been these last 7 months." she said smiling as she wiped her eyes.
"I know Baby. Me neither." he said leaning down to kiss her as Collins handed her a napkin from the bar.
"Thak you Collins. I'm sorry you guys. This is supposed to be a celebreation and I'm standing here crying. Breaking my own rule." she said starting to laugh.
"It's OK Baby girl. It's your party, you can cry if you want to." Collins told her as him, Marty, Roger, Maureen and Joanne broke out in the Leslie Gore song laughing.
"Don't think we're getting off that easy. When I tell my parents, they're gonna throw us the biggest engagement party and wedding any of you have ever seen." Marty said laughing.
"Oh yeah, we know how much your parents love Roger." Mark said winding his camera.
"Yeah, now all I have to do is tell them how we really met." Marty said looking up at Roger.
"I've been telling you that for 7 months." he told her caressing her head.
"I know Honey. We'll take the railroad out to visit them tomorrow and I'll tell them everything." she told him smiling.
"OK Baby. Whatever you want to do, I'm right here." he told her smiling down at her.
"I know Roger. You've been right there this whole time." she said kissing him. As the bohemians celebrated into the night, Roger and Marty seemed to be floating. They were so happy.
