3 years later…

Today was Rachel and I's 3-year anniversary. Having met after high school we would have been married by now, maybe even with a baby on the way. But meeting in high school changed that. We met in grade 10 so marriage wasn't exactly an option. And after my mother died I needed to take much more time at home and become responsible. My dad's job paid well but when he needed to go on a business trip I was left watching Stacy and Stevie. Usually Rachel came over and helped, considering she had made a good relationship with my two younger siblings. But now they were entering their teenage years and were earning more responsibility and I had left for university.

Rachel and I were both attending NYU. That wasn't exactly my first choice before but once I met Rachel I couldn't go anywhere but where she was. And her dream was to be on Broadway. We used to and still do talk about our future a lot. Rachel wants to be on Broadway for a couple years, fulfill that dream, then come back to Lima and raise a family. She doesn't want her children growing up in the city because she wants them to have the comfort of a small town that she had grown up with. And basically I just wanted whatever Rachel did. She had grown closer to her mother after my mom's death. Because after seeing someone who had lost someone it made her want to never lose a moment she would have with her mother because sometimes time was cut short. Anyways, after she was fulfilled with her Broadway dream she wanted to start a theatre program in town.

Well as I was saying about our anniversary. Today I was planning on proposing to Rachel. She meant so much to me. I thought I was in love with her the minute I laid eyes on her and now what we had was so much more. It wasn't just love, it was soul mates (like I suspected) and the most amazing feeling in the entire world. And today I was going to ask the woman who I was madly in love with to marry me.

I tightened my tie and stepped out of my apartment. We were waiting to move in together so that we could make things so much more special. So I had planned a special engagement. Rachel thought I was back in Ohio because I had to watch Stevie and Stacy; I do this quite often so it would be believable. Anyway, so then Rachel's mom was flying up to visit and she told Rachel to meet her for dinner in Long Beach and to dress up.

I drove down to Long Beach and was met with the beautiful ocean and my proposal arrangement. There was a long pathway bordered by shells, rocks and an array of beautiful flowers. I stood at the end of the pathway and held the ring in my hands. I was anxious to say the least as I waited for Rachel's arrival. I waited for another fifteen minutes until I saw her. She was walking beside her mother. She looked so beautiful. Her hair was wavy once again and in perfect and loose ringlets. Her eyes were a beautiful sparkling brown that I noticed from such a far distance. Her smile still took my breath away. She was wearing a light purple dress with one strap that looked like it was made of flowers. She had silver stiletto heels on and a beautiful silver necklace around her neck.

She seemed to notice the pathway and she followed it with her eyes until she came to me. She blinked and squinted her eyes shocked by what she was seeing. Her eyes instantly teared up and she jogged down the pathway to meet me. I felt a smile tugging at my lips and tears at the same time. She knew what was coming now. She came to me and I took her hands in mine and kissed them.

"Sam Evans." She scolded. She knew I would go out of the way for a proposal like this because it was her. She deserved something different and special.

"Rachel Berry." I teased back and then things became serious. I went on one knee and looked deep into her eyes. She looked back into mine intensely and it felt like it was only us. I kissed her hands once again and took a deep breath. "I love you more then anything and all I want to do for the rest of my life is to make you happy. I want to pick you up whenever your down, make you laugh when you want to cry, stay with you when you feel as if the entire world has walked out, love you when we don't see eye to eye and say your beautiful when you couldn't feel worse. Rachel Berry, would you do me the honour of being my wife?"

She looked at me with such love and I felt reassured. Everything I said to her was true. I would do anything for her because I would never love anyone other then Rachel. She was my first and last love. And I knew from the deepest part of my heart that that was true. Even if by some chance she said no to me, I had promised myself a long time ago that I would never love anyone other then her. Because my heart belonged to Rachel a long, long time ago.

"Of course I will!" my new three favourite words.
