Chapter 3: The Proposal
It was the middle of April and Bethany was now three months pregnant. Not only that, but Mark was due back home. She couldn't wait to see him again. Although they had talked every day, sometimes for hours and sometimes for just a few minutes, it wasn't the same as having him there. Besides, she was looking forward to living with him. It wasn't that she didn't like living with her Brother and Dad. She loved it for a lot of reasons. One being that she didn't have to live under her "mothers" thumb and anymore. She loved her brother and Dad too, but she wanted to be with Mark.
Beth was on her way from a Doctor's appointment. Nothing was wrong. It was just a mandatory, routine check up. The baby was doing fine and was right about where it should be for how far along she was, although Beth still wasn't sure if it was a girl or a boy. She would have to wait another month to find that out, but she didn't mind. The one thing that had Beth worried was the fact that although she was eating better and exercising and doing all the right things, she had barely gained any weight. She had only gained about five pounds and her stomach wasn't much bigger then usual.
The doctor told her just to keep doing what she was doing and that not everyone gained tons of weight when they were pregnant. Beth had felt relieved at that. She had stopped to grab a bite to eat, but was now on her way home. When she pulled into the driveway, she saw a Harely Davidson motorcycle parked there. Beth got out of the car and went inside the house. When she walked inside, she saw Mark sitting there talking to her Dad and Brother.
Dean and Liam saw her face light up like they hadn't seen since she was a little girl. Mark stood up and walked over. He put his arms around her waist and kissed her. Beth blushed.
"I missed you." Mark said.
"I missed you too, Mark." Beth told him.
"How's our little one doing?" Mark said.
"Everything is a-okay with the baby. I was worried that I wasn't gaining the normal weight, but the doctor said if I just keep eating healthy and everything, I'll be alright." Beth said.
Dean and Liam nodded. Everyone sat down and talked for a long time. After a few hours, Beth and Mark decided to take the car and go to Kristal's house to pick up Beth's clothes and possessions. Mark told the two of them that he would return the car and pick up his bike when they were finished. Dean and Liam agreed, but they were worried about Beth's safety. Mark assured them that he would keep Beth safe no matter what it took. The two men agreed and Beth and Taker left the house.
They drove all the way to Kristal's house, talking about everything that they could think of, including Mark's work and his best friends: The Hart Family, or at least some of them anyway. He told her all about the blue eyed, blond haired loveable youngest child of the family, who took delight in pranking people and making people laugh. He was an expert at it.
Then there was his big brother Bret "The Hitman" Hart. He looked just like Owen only his hair was black and his eyes were brown. Jim "The Anvil" Niedhart was short and stocky and he seemed like an intimidating person until you got to know him anyway. "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith was tall and muscluar with black hair and brown eyes. It was while they were talking about about Davey that Mark remembered something he had meant to talk to Beth about.
"Oh, by the way, Bethy, Davey and his wife Diana are having a baby girl and wants to know if the two of us will be the baby's Godparents..." Mark said.
"Wow. He wants us...?" Beth said.
"Yes. I told him I'd talk to you first and let him know." Mark said.
"Well, the next time you're talking to him, tell him I'd be honoured." Beth said.
Mark grinned. A few minutes later, they pulled up to Kristal's house. Beth got out of the car and Mark followed her. He could see that Beth looked nervous. She hesitated before knocking on the door.
"We'll get your stuff and get out. We won't be here long enough for her to give you a hard time and if she does, I'll be here." Mark said.
Beth nodded. The door opened and Kristal stood there. She seemed shocked that her daughter would dare come back to the house. Her shock turned to anger when she saw that Mark was with her too.
"Mother...look, we're just here to get my things. We don't want to give you a hard time." Beth said.
"Fine, but make it quick. I was just going out!" Kristal snapped.
Beth nodded. They stepped inside and walked up the stairs. When Beth walked into her room, she stopped dead. Mark could see why. The room was empty, the walls were bare and the bed had been stripped down to nothing.
"My...room...what happened?" Beth asked.
"You didn't think I would actually keep your things here for you did you, Beth?" Kristal asked.
"So what did you do with Beth's things?" Mark asked.
"What else? I threw everything out." Kristal said.
"You...you...why? What did I do this time?" Beth asked, bursting into tears.
"You know what you did, Bethany." Kristal said.
"What did she supposedly do that was so bad exactly?" Mark snapped.
"She slept with you. She's having your child. Need I say more?" Kristal said.
"So let me see if I have this right. Your daughter is happy so you're going to be a vindictive bitch?" Mark said,
"Oh, you'd love to think that wouldn't you?" Kristal asked.
"He doesn't think it. He knows it because I told him every thing you've ever done to me!" Beth snapped.
"Doesn't surprise me one bit." Kristal said.
"And why not?" Mark asked.
"Because Beth will do anything she can to get someone to pay attention to her. She said what she did to make you feel bad for her." Kristal said.
"You're lying!" Mark snapped, "Come on, Bethy. This is getting us nowhere. We'll figure out what to do later."
"O-OK." Beth said.
"You'd best watch yourself Bethany. I'm going to do everything I can to make your life difficult." Kristal said.
"Just try it and I'll make your life difficult, Kristal." Mark snapped.
With that, they left the house. They got back in the car and drove back to Dean and Liam's house. The two of them were just leaving for work and they were shocked as Mark and Beth got out of the car. They hadn't expected them to be back so soon.
"That was fast. Did Kristal have it packed up for you?" Dean asked.
Beth didn't say anything. She just burst into tears again. Dean and Liam looked at each other. Mark sighed and explained what had happened. The two men were stunned.
"She didn't!" Dean said.
"Now...I have to...start over." Beth sobbed.
"It's alright, Bethy, we'll get you some new stuff for the little one." Liam said.
"O-OK." Beth said.
"And we'll get you new clothes and everything too, sweetheart." Mark said.
"But...that's a lot of money, Mark. I don't want to take advantage of you." Beth whispered.
"You're not taking advantage of me, Beth. You need it." Mark said.
"If you're sure." Mark said.
Beth nodded. She hugged her Dad and brother. Then she nervously climbed onto Mark's motorcycle nervously and wrapped her hands around his waist. She held on as tight as she could without cutting Mark's air off. She was smiling still, but she was nervous now.
"You take care of her, Mark." Liam said.
"Of course." Mark said.
He started the bike and drove away. When they got back to Mark's house and went inside, Beth looked around. It was neat and clean, despite the fact that no one had been there in the last few weeks. Mark noticed that Bethany was looking around.
"You OK, Beth?" Mark said.
"Sure. Um...there's another room here right? For the baby?" Beth asked.
"Of course, but it needs to be cleaned out." Mark said.
Beth nodded. She went and found two boxes and some trash bags. She went upstairs and started to sort through the things in the extra room. It was a couple of hours later when Mark came upstairs. He walked over and knelt down looking worried. Beth looked over at him and burst into tears. Mark hugged her.
"Bethy...hey, it's going to be alright. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you anymore. And that includes your Mom." Mark said.
"Mark...I..."
"Hey, it's alright, Bethy, I love you and I'm always going to protect you, no matter what." Mark said, reaching up and wiping her tears away.
Beth nodded. She stood up. A lot of the stuff in the room was junk, so Bethany had filled a few trash bags and put the old clothes that she had found in the boxes to be given away or whatever Mark wanted to do with them. He carried the boxes to the basement and Bethany took the trash out. When they were finished, they met up in the living room.
"Mark, after we're done cleaning out the room, can we remodel it? I just want to paint it and do a few things." Beth said.
"Sure, but let's find out what the baby's gender is first and then we can paint it and do whatever you want to it. Promise." Mark said.
Beth beamed. Mark smiled too and told her to get cleaned up and changed if she had some clean clothes to wear because he wanted to take her somewhere. Beth nodded and went upstairs. She showered and changed into a blue tank top and jeans. She put on some eyeliner and eyeshadow. Then she tied her hair into a pony tail and put on the only pair of high heels she even owned. When she went back downstairs, Mark was already changed into a muscle shirt and jeans. He had his hair in a braid too. He was packing something up.
"Where are we going, Mark?" Beth asked.
"Lake Conroe. I thought we'd have a picnic dinner on the shore." Mark said.
Beth nodded. She was glad that she was going to be able to spend time with Mark. She had been worried about that when she had found out what he did for a living, but it looked like he was planning on making sure they spent time with each other regardless. They left the house and got onto Mark's motorcycle. They drove to Lake Conroe. Beth looked around her. Everything was peaceful. Mark laid out a blanket and they sat down.
They talked for awhile and they ate their food. After they were done, they cleaned up and sat there talking. Mark sighed and pulled a box from his pocket and handed it to her. Beth opened it and gasped. There was a simple silver ring inside with a Sapphire stone. When she looked up, she saw that Mark was on one knee, holding her hand.
"Beth, will you marry me?" Mark asked.
"I...Mark...of course I'll marry you!" Beth said, throwing her arm around him.
Mark beamed. What had started off as a one night stand had turned into an over the phone realationship was now turning into something more. What was more was that Beth and Mark were happy for a change.
