Chapter 21:
Pony POV:
I had been planning for weeks to ask Angie to marry, but I had to make sure that Mally liked her first, and that's what I was doing tonight. I had made Mally's favourite dinner, hamburgers and fries, and I was planning on asking her what she really thought of Angie.
"Daddy when is dinner gonna be ready?" Mally asked, as she came into the kitchen.
"It's ready right now." I told her as I set the bowl of fries on the table. After she was done her burger and finishing off her fries I decided to ask her.
"So Mally, I have a very important question for you." I told her.
"Ok, Daddy." She said.
"What do think of Angie? And I want you tell the truth."
"I really like her. She's always nice to me and she really likes you. Why?" she replied.
"Well cause I was actually thinking I might ask her to marry me. How does that sound?"
"It sounds good!" she screamed as she hugged me. "I just have two questions."
"Alright, shoot." I asked her as I started to clear the table.
"Is Angie gonna be like my mom now?" she asked.
"Uhhhh, ya sort of."
"Can I call her mom?"
"You'll have to ask her that." I laughed.
"Ok, I'll call her and ask her right now!" she said as she started to run to the phone.
"NO!" I ran after her and grabbed her before she reached the phone.
"You can't tell anyone, got it? Not until I ask Angie at least." I told her.
"Ok Daddy." She said and kissed my cheek.
"Ok, now go get ready for bed, I'll be in there soon to tuck you in." I said, as she started on her way to her room.
The next night
"So where ya taking Angie tonight?" Johnny asked as I put on my coat. I was taking Angie on a date tonight and I was gonna pop the question, so Johnny was watching Mally.
"To a restaurant for dinner probably." I told him as Mally came running in to the room.
"Don't forget to ask her daddy." Mally said as she hugged me.
"Ask who what?" Johnny asked, confused.
"Mally wants me to ask Angie if she has any dolls from when she was a kid that Mally could have." I covered. Johnny nodded, satisfied as I picked Mally up.
"Remember you can't tell anyone, got it?" I reminded her.
"Ok. Got the ring?" she whispered.
"Yes, now you be good ok and I shouldn't be later than 11:00 but if I am then Johnny, you can take over my room." I told him and left.
Angie POV:
The date had been going really good so far, Pony had taken me to one of the nicest restaurants in the middle class part of town, and now we were taking a walk in the park.
"Angie, there's something I wanna ask you." Pony said as he stopped walking. I stopped and turned to look at him.
"What's up?" I asked. He got down on one knee and said.
"Angie, will you marry me?"
"YES! Yes! Of course I'll marry you!" I said as I hugged him. He took the ring out of the box and placed it on my finger, it was beautiful. It was a simple round diamond standing on top of a beautiful gold band. I had never been happier in my life!
"Wait, is Mally ok with this?" I asked.
"Ya, I made sure she was." Pony said.
"You sure?" I asked.
"Ya, the only question she had was whether she could call you Mom." He replied.
"Tell her she can call me whatever she wants." I said as I kissed him.
