Chapter Fourteen: Planing and Packing

The proposal had been a complete surprise to Madison. She could admit she really hadn't thought he'd ask her especially after how depressed and anxious she'd been since her kidnapping. He had done it though.

He'd sent her out shopping with her sister insisting that she get out since it wasn't healthy to hide in their apartment. When she got home and made it to their bedroom he'd gotten right down on his knee and asked her to marry him and she'd said yes. He had tried hard to make it romantic. He'd probably lit enough candles in their apartment to make it qualify as a fire hazard. When they finally blew them all out he'd promptly burnt his palm on the wick. She'd put ice on the burn for him and told him to be happy that he hadn't burnt down the whole apartment complex trying to be romantic for her. Even though she'd loved the way he'd asked her.

She could honestly say that she was happy. Probably the happiest she'd been in a while. She looked up when her sister spoke up sighing.

"Madison are you going to stare at that rock that Reid likes to call an engagement ring all day or what"? Garcia stated grinning as she looked up from her laptop that was currently balancing on her lap.

She rolled her eyes staring at Penelope and then back down at the ring. No it wasn't as huge as her sister liked to insist that it was. It was actually pretty simple. Just a medium sized solitaire diamond on a silver ring. It was simple but still completely beautiful. She was trying to figure out how she'd ever get used to wearing it without worrying about something happening to it.

She glanced back up at her sister whom was currently sitting on the couch beside her working. Garcia had basically been sent by Spencer to babysit, since she could do all her work from her laptop and cell phone.

Spencer had gone back to work this morning and Madison could admit she was disappointed. She'd gotten so used to him being right there with her at all times. She knew she was attached to him, but then again she thought that attachment must be a part of being in love.

She frowned staring down at the empty cardboard box in front of her. She was currently supposed to be packing to move. Spencer and her had found a house and they'd bought it. All they had to do now was pack all their things from both their apartments and collect their security deposits.

The house that they'd decided on was nice. Two stories, white brick in a nice neighborhood. It had three bedrooms and two bathrooms along with a kitchen, dining room, living room, and a nicely sized backyard. She had been worried that it would be too big at first, but Spencer had insisted on it saying they'd need the room if they ever had a family. She couldn't wait to finally move in next week.

She looked up from the box that she'd just started shoving Cd's and Spencer's books on tape into when Garcia spoke up "So when exactly are Reid and you tying the knot"?

She raised her eyebrows as she shoved yet another Cd into the box. She'd never really gotten that saying, tying the knot. It really didn't make any sense to her. What did knots have to do with getting married? Maybe she would ask Spencer about that if she could remember because honestly he was more than likely to know exactly what that saying meant.

"We haven't really talked about it yet. I want to do it soon though. I mean I don't want to be engaged forever". She stated biting her bottom lip.

"Did you call dad yet"? Garcia stated as she looked up at her younger sister, still managing to type somehow.

She sighed nodding "I called my mom she said she'd tell dad, but I don't think he'll be happy for me...He hates Spence. I really don't know why".

Garcia nodded her head not saying anything, more than likely not wanting to get too deep into the conversation about their father. Their father had done enough as it was and there was really no need to dwell on it.

She finally managed to make it back into the bedroom where she was able to start packing the few things that were still left in that room. The only thing that seemed to be left was the bed and their clothing.

She dropped the painting on the bed when she heard the unmistakable sound of Spencer's voice obviously talking to Garcia. It took a lot of work to get the painting down. She was lucky it hadn't landed on her toes considering she had been attempting to take off the wall over their bed without help from anyone.

She managed to make it out to the living room surprised to see that her sister had already left and Reid was now standing next to their coffee table flipping through a magazine. She rolled her eyes when she realized that he was flipping through the pages of the bridal magazine Garcia had decided to bring the horrible magazine to her this morning. She really didn't want it. She thought that most bridal magazines were all full of cookie cutter weddings that cost way too much.

He finally looked up from the magazine raising his eyebrows "Where did you get this" ?

She sat down on the couch rolling her eyes "My sister. I didn't want it".

He laid the magazine down before sitting down right beside her and putting his arm around her. "Did you call your parents"?

She bit her bottom lip nodding "Yeah I didn't talk to my dad though. My mom wants to fly up here and plan the wedding for me so she can pay for everything".

He nodded knowing by the look on her face that she wasn't too thrilled about her mother's plans "What's wrong with that"?

"Spence have you met my mother"? She stated raising her eyebrows in mock seriousness

He bit his bottom lip "It won't be that bad. She's paying for everything so that'll leave more money for us".

To tell the truth he knew it probably would be pretty bad though. If it was up to her mother they'd have an ungodly huge wedding with orchestras, a ridiculously tall cake, a dress that weighed more than Madison, and guests that neither of them knew.

She sighed laying her head against his chest "Have you found your best man yet"?

He shrugged "I don't really have much of a choice. Morgan already acts like he's the best man".

She couldn't help but to giggle at this thought "Morgan? I'm scared to know what your bachelors party is going to be like".

He frowned knowing he didn't really want a bachelors party. Especially if Morgan was going to be in charge of planning the whole thing. Who knows what kind of things he'd plan out. Maybe he'd search for Ethan's number in New Orleans and beg him to be best man. The number had to be around here somewhere, and they had been friends in Vegas so he'd probably agree.

"Do we even have a date picked out yet"? She stated looking up at him

"How about two months from now. That'll be June. So I guess June the Eleventh. Does that sound good"? He stated still feeling a little nervous about the whole idea of a wedding. If it was up to him he'd just take her to Vegas and get married in a tiny all night chapel on the strip, but he knew Garcia would murder him if they took off and got married without telling anyone.

She nodded her head "Yes that sounds perfect".

Madison somehow managed to bury her head farther into him as he attempted to search for the remote to the television.

Hopefully they could make it to June Eleventh and have a happy nice wedding without too much stress.
