It was 4:30 am. Betty snuck downstairs trying not to wake anyone up. As she walked down the stairs she heard the faint noise of the television in the living room. It was Hilda.

"Hilda, what are you doing up at this time?" Betty whispered.

"Like I could possibly sleep Betty. I wanted to wait up for you."

"Hilda you should get some rest, who knows how long I'll be out. "

"No Betty I'm going to wait."

"Whatever you said then." Betty smiled and gave her sister a big hug and headed out the door.

Meanwhile at Daniels place.

Daniel put on his nicest suit and tie. Slapped on some after shave and attempted to do something with his hair. He looked at himself in the mirror.

"Okay, come Daniel you can do this" he said to himself.

Then at the corner of his eye he saw his sister Alexis.

"Stop pacing Danny, you know she'll say yes. Betty is a great girl, who's madly in love with you." Alexis smiled

"Yeah yeah." Daniel said scurrying about trying to find some last minute things.

Alexis smiled and walked away.

It was 4:57 Daniel had just stepped out of his cab and waited nervously by the bridge. At exactly 5:00am Betty walked onto the bridge.

"Wow, you look, Betty, you look, wow."

"Are you going to finish any sentences?" she chuckled.

"Sorry, just you look great."

"Thanks. So do you." She smiled that beautiful smile that after 6 years still made Daniel's heart skip a beat.

"So what was so important that you had to meet me her at 5am?"

"Betty," Daniel began, "Do you remember that night when Giselle didn't come to the restaurant and you didn't want the paparazzi to see me leaving alone?"

"Yes..."

"Well, that night I realized something. I realized my assistant, was the best person in the world. And that I felt something more for her. I may not have known it at the time, but Betty you're the one person who has been with me through everything. I love you Betty, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He knelt down on one knee.

"Betty Suarez, will you marry me?"

Betty felt the tears well up in her eyes.

"Daniel, of course I'll marry you. I love you."
Daniel picked up Betty and kissed then spun her around.

"Mrs. Betty Meade." Betty said she and Daniel both smiled and gave each other another kiss. Daniel hailed a cab and escorted Betty home.

When they reached Betty's place he got out of the cab with and said goodnight to his future wife.

When Betty got home Hilda had passed out on the couch. She put a blanket over her and kissed her on the head. She headed upstairs to bed gazing at her ring.

Thanks again.
