Friday couldn't roll around quick enough for everybody in the Family Guy studios, it had definitely been a busy week and everyone was happy it was finally the weekend. Rose had been busy working on storyboards but she didn't really mind, it had taken her mind off everything that had happened this week to do with her mom and that psycho weird fan she encountered the other day.

A lot of people would think she was heartless for not really caring about her mom dying but she had plenty of reasons not to care. But people wouldn't really understand because they didn't know what she went through when she was a child. How could you love someone who beat you every day and ruined your life?

Those scars on her back were with her for the rest of her life and it was all thanks to her mom, they were a constant reminder of the hell she went through when she was just a girl. She had no reason to miss that horrible woman but of course people wouldn't see it like that, so she didn't tell anybody what had happened when she was young. Only Seth, Alex, Mila, Alec, Danny and Artie knew that her mom had died and they understood why she didn't miss her at all. So they just accepted it and were happy that she was happy and getting on with her life.

Rose sighed as she looked down at her storyboards; she had a lot of improvements to make because Seth had walked around the room and looked at everybody's work. Every so often he walked around and made sure everybody was working to the correct standards so he'd looked at the storyboards and found errors with nearly every frame. So everyone was in the room working hard to improve the frames Seth had picked on. Surprisingly he'd even picked on Rose's work this time, it did come as a shock as normally her work was perfect but everybody made mistakes right?
She'd been pressing too hard on the tip of her pen causing the facial features to be thicker than normal so she had to draw everything out again. It didn't bother her though; she wanted everything to be perfect so she started to draw things out again.

"Hey, is it okay to come in?" Rose heard someone whisper from the doorway and she smiled when she saw Alex looking in the room noticing everybody was hard at work, "We can go somewhere else if you want, in case we disturb someone?"

"Yeah okay then, I could do with a drink anyway" Rose whispered back as she slowly got up from her chair to leave the room with Alex. Everybody worked in complete silence when they were drawing; of course they had a laugh and a joke but when they were serious they were quiet and worked hard.

"Rose looks flustered" Alex said noticing that Rose was red in the face and looking frustrated and frazzled,

"Rose is very flustered" Rose replied making Alex smile,

"Why is Rose flustered?"

"Rose is flustered and frazzled from the weekly visit from Seth" Rose replied as they turned down the corridor to head towards the drinks stand so they could get a drink.

"He's gone around everybody today, don't worry he's not just picking on the storyboard artists" Alex replied as she knew what Rose was talking about and understood how she felt.

"Does he do this often?"

"Oh all the time!"

"Why?"

"Because he's a perfectionist and that's what he's like"

"Does he do it to the other 2 shows?"

"Nope just Family guy"

"That's a bit strange really"

"Family guy is his baby, he says he treats all 3 shows equally but he doesn't because we're always getting shit in here"

"He's that bad?"

"If you ever do a voice recording he'll make you do it again and again and again and again until he's completely satisfied with it, and even when he is happy with it he'll make you do it again to make sure it's perfect" Rose just looked at Alex like she was completely insane, Seth was really that bad? She knew he was a perfectionist but she didn't know that he was that bad with things.

"Wow I learn more and more about him every week"

"It's not a bad thing, I've met some right slobs in my life so trust me, Seth is a good choice" Rose smiled at that making Alex grin, she was so desperate to tell her about the proposal tomorrow but she had to keep her mouth shut. Even when Seth had sent her a picture of the ring she had to stop herself from screaming and telling Rose everything. Instead she had to restrain herself and keep her mouth shut which was a very hard thing to do when both women loved to gossip with each other.

"Seriously, why do you keep staring at me and grinning? What are you hiding?" Rose asked when she noticed that Alex kept grinning at her and acting suspicious,

"Can't I just be happy?"

"Well yeah… but in a normal way, stop staring at me like you're a paedophile lining me up as your next victim" Rose replied making Alex laugh and say "I'm sorry it's just I'm so happy!"

"But why?" Rose asked confused as they both sat on the empty couch to talk whilst Rose had a short break from drawing.

"Because you're perfect together and I'm just glad everything has worked out"

"But you're still acting suspicious, just like Seth"

"How do you mean?"

"I finally managed to make him come shopping with me the other day, the minute I said we needed groceries he ran off to do something else, and when he came back he had a bag with him but wouldn't say what was inside" Alex had to smile at that, she knew what was in the bag! "See now you're smiling again and I'm just really suspicious!" Rose said laughing making Alex smile, "Honestly it's nothing to worry about"

"I guess not, I'm used to Seth doing some strange things"

Alex smiled again and said "He means well though, just don't jump to conclusions"

"How'd you mean?"

"Some of his exes always got suspicious when he had to go off to meetings or did things on his own, it was crazy"

"Were they all that bad?"

"Some of them were yeah but others just dumped him"

"They broke up with him?"

"They couldn't stand his hectic schedule, it was too much for them to take and they were just attention seekers and because they didn't have all of his time they broke up with him"

"That's just pathetic to be honest"

"Exactly! They were no good for him yet he always used to say they were perfect"

"Does he still talk to them?"

"I don't think so, he spoke to his ex Kate Todd and a little bit of Eliza but other than that he doesn't talk to any of them anymore because they're just no good for him" Rose sat on the couch and thought about that, both Kate and Eliza were very beautiful women compared to Rose, they loved designer things and they always had their photos on the internet and in the papers, sometimes she wondered what Seth saw in such a normal average woman.

"Hey don't go all silent on me" Alex said as she noticed that Rose had drifted off into thoughts,

"Sorry… was just thinking about something"

"Don't start thinking you're not good enough for Seth, those women are in the past"

"But they're-"

"Rose you're a beautiful woman with a lot going for you, don't think you're not good enough for him. You must have done something right if he chose you as his girlfriend" Alex wanted to scream out about the proposal but she just couldn't, "So don't ever think bad thoughts because Seth loves you to bits and he wouldn't ever think about leaving you" Rose just looked at Alex and realised that she was right, those women were in his past for a reason so there was no reason to have any doubts.

"I'm sorry, you're right about everything, I don't know what's wrong with me lately"

"It's okay Rose don't worry about it, you've got good reasons to be all over the place lately with everything that's happened"

"It's not just about my mom to be honest"

"What else is it about?" Rose sighed and looked at Alex, "It was just something that stupid fan said to me a couple of days ago"

"That girl that kept staring at you?"

"Yeah"

"I remember her, what did she say?"

"She was just saying that I'm not good enough for Seth and that somebody else will come along and leave me with nothing"

"But that's crap! You know that's not true so why are you worrying about it?"

"I'm not worrying about it; I just get mad because so many people are against our relationship"

"Of course they're gonna be against it! You're dating one of the richest and most good looking men in LA! So many people are gonna be jealous of you so they will try and ruin it but don't listen to them, keep your head held high and know you're better than all of them"

Rose smiled and said "I'm sorry, I'm just slipping back into this stupid depression phase but I will get out of it I promise, I'm gonna be happy, no point being unhappy about things"

"See that's the spirit! Be happy, you should be running around like a crazy lady knowing you're dating Seth"

Rose smiled at that and said "I am happy don't worry, it's just still surreal after everything that happened for us to get to where we are"

"I know… that was a long road and a lot of emotions, as if you've turned Seth into this mushy chasing girls through airports kinda guy" Rose laughed and said "Yeah I can't believe that either, I'm surprised he didn't get one of his many assistants to come and get me with a big long message"

Alex laughed a lot at that and said "That sounds just like Seth but I'm glad he did chase you though because it proved how much he loves you" Rose just smiled at the memory and she felt more butterflies in her tummy because it was such an amazing moment, she never thought she'd have somebody do that!

"I'll never forget that moment" Rose said with a smile making Alex grin and say "See! Seth wouldn't do that for anybody else, not even for his stupid exes. I've seen a lot of changes in him and it's such a wonderful thing to see, not like before when he was shy and ridiculous" Rose smiled widely again, happy that she was making a difference in Seth's life and changing him for the better. She'd heard a lot of things about him being a douche bag in the past but she didn't think any of it was true, but to have Alex admit that he was sometimes a dick was quite surprising. "So he used to be a douche?"

"I wouldn't say so much a douche but he does have his bad moments where he'd snap and go mad at someone and it got pretty nasty"

"When did he do that then?"

"A few months back when he and Artie got pretty snappy with each other"

"Oh?"

"Yeah it was pretty bad"

"When?"

"When you were in hospital because of the overdose"

"Okay maybe this isn't a good thing to talk about"

"No I don't think it is but I just wanted to let you know what he can be like sometimes, it can get pretty nasty so just bare with him"

"I won't make him angry; I've got no reason to"

"I know I know but I just thought I'd warn you about it, other than that he's the sweetest guy you'll ever meet"

"He is really sweet; I haven't heard him say anything bad yet. He has his moody moments at work but he doesn't bring it home"

"He keeps work and personal life separate"

"I've noticed, I wish I could do that"

"He just splits his personality, he realised it was a good thing to do after a few years of working here so now he doesn't really want to talk about work when he's at home"

"I suppose that's a good thing really"

"It's a very good thing, he's different when he's outside of work and it's nice to see the personal side to him"

"I love it; he's so caring and different, it's nice to hear stories about him"

"Well I've known him since I worked on MAD TV so I've got many stories to tell you and I know what he's like, he's just one of a kind" Rose loved to hear things like this, it was just nice to sit and hear stories about him. Some of them were just downright crazy but others warmed her heart and made her realise how lucky she was to have such an incredible man. He had a heart of gold and would give Rose the world if he could, all she could do was smile as she reached up and played with her necklace, a thing she did often when she thought about Seth.

"That necklace is beautiful" Alex said as she admired the necklace that Rose was playing with,

"A treasured gift from Seth" Rose replied with a bright smile, "It cost him a fortune and I asked him not to but he brought it anyway"

"That's Seth for ya; he's a very generous guy. This will be the first of many gifts believe me"

"I'm not expecting him to buy me things"

"He's got enough money to buy you things so don't worry about it"

"But-"

"No buts about it"

"Is it gonna be like Pretty Woman?"

Alex laughed and said "Not exactly because he didn't hire you and you're not a prostitute"

"That's true"

"But he can take you for a stroll on Rodeo drive"

"Now that would be fun, then I would feel like Pretty Woman" Rose replied excitedly making Alex smile, it was like being around a little kid with candy.

"I'm sure he'll take you there one day"

"I just love taking him grocery shopping, it's hilarious because he just doesn't like it"

"Not many men do like grocery shopping if I'm honest Rose"

"I know but it's funny" Rose giggled making Alex smile and say "You're so weird, I can really see why Seth loves you so much"

"I just like doing little day to day jobs; I grew up with nothing so I appreciate everything and have fun whilst doing it. Plus Seth said I could buy any food I want so I stock up and make him eat fruit"

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Yeah it is, speaking of that… since when did Seth get a nutritionist and a personal fitness coach?" Alex laughed pretty hard at that and said "One of his assistants thought it would be a good idea, she's pretty strict with her own food so she thought it was a good idea for Seth to get one"

"And the fitness coach?"

"That was Alec's idea"

"Why?"

"Because he's got one"

"Seriously?" Rose replied with a small smirk making Alex smile and say "Yeah, it helps keep him in shape because he just eats shit and Seth thought it would be a good idea to get in shape too"

"I thought he was already in shape? He seems okay to me"

"He is okay but Alec made him paranoid and he's already a health nut anyway so he decided to get one to see what it's like"

"He better not turn into a stupid big headed muscle guy because I'll kill him"

Alex laughed and said "Tell him that then, but I don't reckon he'll do that anyway"

"That's good then"

"He just wants to be fitter"

"He is fit"

"You ever raced him up the stairs?"

"No"

"He's out of breath pretty quickly and it's hilarious" Alex replied making Rose laugh and say "Oh man I've gotta try that one day"

"You should because it's hilarious, he sounds like a fat man when he's out of breath" Rose laughed as she pictured that, "So now he works out on machines and does weights and exercises and everything"

"I wonder why he didn't want to tell me"

"Maybe it was gonna be a surprise? Which I've just ruined"

"Yeah it's not a surprise anymore"

"But you knew about it before I told you, how did you even know?"

"I heard Alec talking earlier and he happened to mention his workout and then he mentioned that Seth had an appointment after him"

"Ohh down at the old gym?"

"There's a gym here?"

"Yeah It's not far from here; it's about a 10 minute walk"

"I'm just in shock to be honest; I wondered why he was awake earlier and then snuck off when we arrived here"

"He's not good at covering his tracks to be honest, it's like he leaves a trail of breadcrumbs behind him"

Rose smiled at that and said "But he's lovely though"

"Can't disagree with you there" Alex replied with a smile making Rose smile again and say "I suppose I've gotta get back to work"

"I've gotta wait around for Seth to record some voices and then we've got a table read which you're welcome to sit in on"

"Are you sure? I feel bad knowing I can just walk around and do things whereas everyone else has gotta sit in that room all day"

"Nobody has to do anything all day, it's their choice if they want to stay in there all day"

"But that's made me feel bad now"

"Do you get all of your workload done in a day?"

"Yes"

"Then what's the problem? If you finish your work then you can wander around and see what everyone else is doing or you can help out in other areas"

"You can?"

"Seth's very flexible with what we do, just as long as the work gets done then he's laid back about things"

"Oh right, didn't know that"

"But if it's a busy day then we have to do as we're told"

"He sounds like a pretty awesome boss"

"He's always been like this, I remember the first day we started he was so young he didn't even know what to do, but he adapted this strategy and said that he's got our backs and we've got his, if we do our work then he won't moan"

Rose smiled and said "That just sounds awesome"

"It's pretty cool, everybody sticks to what they've gotta do and doesn't get in his way"

"I guess I've gotta start spending more time with the other's then, some of them can be quite frosty when I stroll in late"

"You can't help that, you travel with Seth and he's always late"

"Most of them are okay with it, it's just Maria and Amanda that are frosty"

"Why?"

"Maria doesn't talk to me anymore because I don't help her out with her work when she's 'struggling'" Rose said making Alex frown and say "She always used to do that to the others but they soon set her straight, how did you do it?"

"She used to walk over to my desk and just dump her work on it, so I picked it up and dumped it back on her desk every time she did it to me"

"And she got the message?"

"Yep eventually it sunk in and she didn't bother again"

"What about Amanda?"

"Another one who's in love with Seth"

"Yeah she's pretty hung up on him, he took her for a drink as a friend and since then she's been obsessed with him thinking that he loves her"

Rose just laughed and said "Seriously? I always wondered why she used to go crazy whenever he walked into the room"

"What did she do?"

"Tidy her desk thinking it would make a difference and then laughing whenever he said something, even the other guys found it annoying"

"That sounds awful; Seth needs to consider making another room for you because it's too cramped in there"

"Did you work in there too?"

"I just used to hear about it from when Artie worked in there, it was pretty bad then as well"

"It is quite cosy when we're all in there getting along but it's when them two start gossiping it kinda ruins the mood"

"Yeah that can probably get annoying but if everyone else is ignoring them then just do the same, learn to switch off when you're drawing and it'll drown them out and you'll be happier"

"I'm slowly learning how to do that but it gets difficult when you hear this" Then Rose did an impression of their laughs and some of the conversations they had making Alex laugh pretty hard, "Oh man I love it when you use that voice"

"What voice?" Rose asked as she was still laughing, "That voice you use when you do impressions of women you don't like, it's too funny"

"Oh my god really? That's so awesome" Rose said in that voice again making Alex laugh, "Stop it! I'm gonna pee my pants!" she said like Lois making Rose laugh and fall back onto the cushions. Both of them were laughing so much they didn't realise Seth and Danny were standing next to the other couch like at them like they were crazy.

"You sure this is your girlfriend Seth?" Danny asked making Seth laugh and say "I think so" Rose looked up and smiled when she saw Seth but she felt embarrassed because she hardly ever did impressions and now quite a few people had heard her.

"That voice is brilliant; can we please use it on the show?" Alex said happily as she looked at Seth, "It would work well with a fat woman probably"

"Trying to say I'm fat?" Rose asked making Alex laugh and say "No of course not but all I can picture is one of those fat women desperate for attention and the voice fits perfectly"

"I can picture that too" Danny said making Rose smile and say "You guys" making everybody laugh again. Seth just grinned as he looked at Rose; she was really talented with voices as she'd opened up a lot more they first met. She'd really come out of her shell and wasn't afraid to make people laugh, she'd run into the gag room with a really funny joke and make everybody laugh, even during table reads she sometimes sat in for people and came up with some great voices. She really knew her stuff and it was wonderful to see her blossom and let her colours shine through for people to see.

He didn't know where this sudden burst of confidence came from but he liked it, especially in the bedroom! She'd shown him a completely different side to her and she really knew what she was doing, she could really drive him wild. No other woman could do that and it was such a turn on! He better stop thinking about this otherwise he'd be horny all day and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

"Something wrong Seth?" Rose asked as she noticed he'd drifted off into his own thoughts, she knew what he was thinking about, she'd picked up on this a while ago, his eyes glazed over whenever he was thinking about sex and it was quite amusing really. Nobody else knew what he was doing, but she always smiled as she could see it was written all over his face. She'd surprised herself and Seth in the bedroom lately by doing things she didn't think she'd ever do, but somehow she'd built up the confidence to try new things and so far it had been a success. They'd tried new positions and they'd had so much fun during foreplay that the sex was even better. It was defiantly bringing them closer together and Rose was happy with how things were working out between them.

"No nothing is wrong with me" Seth said with an innocent smile making Rose smirk as she knew that was a lie, "Why would you think that?"

"No reason" Rose replied making Seth smile but his cheeks were turning a rosy colour, damn he'd been caught again! She was getting pretty good at spotting when he was thinking about sex, it was actually pretty funny. All he could do was smile widely and look at her as she was doing more weird impressions with Alex. He couldn't wait for tomorrow, he'd planned everything out and he hoped it would all work out and she'd say yes. He'd be the happiest man alive if she said she'd marry him, he couldn't wait!

"Danny have you seen Rose anywhere?" Seth asked as he walked into the gag room to find that Danny was the only one in there working quietly. "No sorry Seth I haven't, why what's wrong?"

"I just can't find her that's all, we've got dinner plans tonight and I was wondering whether she'd gone home earlier or not"

"She'd tell you if she'd gone home, she always does"

"That doesn't solve the issue as to where she is now"

"You tried calling her?"

"Her phone is switched off"

"Hmm that is a mystery"

"You spoke to her today?"

"Yeah she swung by an hour ago to help us put together some more gags; she seemed a bit agitated though"

"Why agitated?"

"Alex kept smiling at her and saying she was happy and it made Rose really confused" Seth couldn't help but smile at that and laugh lightly as he sipped his coffee, "Something you're not telling me Seth?"

"I know why Alex keeps doing that"

"Okay... care to tell me?"

"I'm gonna ask Rose to marry me tomorrow" Seth replied making Danny just stare at him in surprise, but he soon threw his notepad aside to stand up and shake Seth's hand, "Congratulations buddy I'm happy for you"

"Thanks man, I'm nervous about it though"

"Well yeah! It's the most terrifying thing you'll ever do but I know she'll say yes so don't worry too much"

"I'm trying not too but it's a difficult situation to be in really"

"Why?"

"Because my parents don't even know I'm getting married and I should have told them first"

"Oh boy that is difficult"

"Yeah"

"Have you called them?"

"I speak to them all the time and they know about Rose, just haven't met her"

"Well why don't you drive out and see them on the Sunday? Then you can have dinner together or something, it'll break the ice and soon they'll love her"

"That sounds like a good idea"

"It is a good idea"

"I hope it works, my parents are quite fussy with meeting people"

"They loved us when they met us at the Family Guy musical and we were rude and crude"

"That's the kind of people they like, my mom is terrible with jokes you know that"

"I'm sure they'll behave around Rose"

"I hope so, she's a good girl compared to them"

"Maybe they'll love her because of that"

"I'm sure they will but I'm just in panic mode because of everything that's happening"

"Seth just relax okay? She's gonna say yes and your parents will love her and everything will work out perfectly" Seth just looked at Danny and felt fully reassured that things will be okay, he was panicking over nothing. But it was still a nerve racking experience, he'd never done anything like this before so it was scary and new to him. He hadn't ever poured his heart out to a woman before so he didn't know what to expect and what Rose would do when he asked her to marry him. He didn't want her to start screaming and going crazy like an obsessed woman otherwise he'd regret it, he hoped she'd be mature and everything would go smoothly.

"I'm sorry Danny I didn't mean to burden you with my problems"

"Hey don't worry about it man, we're all here for each other and I like helping people"

"Thanks man"

"Don't mention it, I'm happy for you Seth, you've come a long way since we first met and now you're mature and sensible enough to marry somebody" Seth laughed a little bit and smiled at the floor, "Just don't screw it up like I did mine"

"I'll try not too" Seth replied with a small smile but he turned his head when the door opened to reveal Alex, "Hey guys" she said cheerfully making both men smile and greet her back, "What's happening?"

"Nothing I was just speaking to Danny about Rose"

"That's all you do lately" Alex replied making Seth laugh again, "Is it getting that obvious? I'm turning into one of those guys?"

"Yeah I'd dial it down just a tad" Danny said making Alex smirk and Seth laugh again, "Believe me we love it but you need to focus"

"But he's asking her to marry him tomorrow! Even I'm excited about that!" Alex said excitedly, "I can't wait to hear the details and everything"

"Surely you won't want to know all of the details?" Seth said with a small smile,

"Oh yeah every detail, every line you said, every sex position" Alex replied making Seth laugh hard,

"Really? You'd wanna know all that?"

"No you dick!"

Seth laughed hard again and said "Oh man can you imagine if I told you"

"I don't want to imagine it to be honest I was joking, I don't want to picture you having sex" Alex replied and shuddered in disgust, "Moving on from that, I came in here to see you"

"What's up?"

"We couldn't find you earlier to tell you so Rose left a message with me to tell you that she's down at the studios where the orchestra is recording"

"Why is she down there?"

"She's always down there; she's like a miniature version of you"

"How long has she been down there?"

"She left just before your meeting at 1" Seth checked his watch and saw it was close to 3 and then he sighed, he still had another table read and more recordings to do for some new episodes. It was only him that needed to record today so it was a lot easier, he could just do the voices and not be disturbed. He could easily switch between voices and not have to rush himself, he hated walking out of the booth red in the cheeks and sweating and then he'd have to sit down and listen to other people record their voices. It was tiring and he always ended up grumpy for the rest of the day.

"She said she'll ring you when she's finished though so don't worry about her"

"I wondered why I couldn't get through to her"

"Well you can't keep your phone on during recordings can you? A beautiful piece of music wouldn't sound good with a stupid ringtone in the middle of it"

Seth laughed and said "Yeah I guess you're right"

"But she did say she'd call, she knows you're busy today so she said she'd give you some space to get your workload done"

"She's not upset because I made her do her frames again is she?"

"No… I spoke to her and she said she'd happily do them again, give her some credit Seth she's going through a rough patch right now"

"I know I know I keep forgetting about it and then I feel terrible"

"Honestly Seth she's not upset with you, you'd know if she is believe me"

Seth smiled and said "I know she's not, I've just got a lot on my mind with the rest of my workload today"

"Start it now and get it out the way otherwise you'll ruin your dinner plans for tonight" again Seth just smiled widely as he thought about tonight, he'd taken Rose to a few restaurants and she always ended up making it a fun experience. Everybody else acted grown up and too mature but Rose could dress up in her best clothes and could still be her casual self and not care if anybody looked at her. Seth had never encountered anything like that before and it was fascinating to him, of course she could act grown up and mature but she was so much fun he wished he could take her out for dinner every evening!

Rose was sat quietly watching the orchestra record another beautiful piece of music for the show, it was so amazing to watch. It was a relaxed and calm environment which meant everybody could play without feeling stressed. Walter was in the middle composing and all Rose could do was stare at him in complete astonishment, he was so talented!

She had to tear her eyes away from them though to check her watch, she'd been down here for a few hours now and she knew that Seth would be worried. Plus he'd arranged dinner plans for them tonight so she had to shoot off home to get ready. She loved it when Seth took her out on dates; they were always so much fun! They could dress up in their best clothes and still act casual and nothing ever bothered them. They'd take strolls around the city and it wouldn't bother them if anybody recognised them, they'd just greet them with friendly smiles and Seth would sign autographs if anybody asked him. It was like they were a normal couple just doing normal things.

Rose couldn't help but smile as she stared out through the glass at the orchestra, but she smiled even more when she felt somebody put their arms around her, "Hey beautiful" Seth murmured as he kissed her neck softly and then rested his chin on her head, sometimes it was annoying that Seth was taller than her. But Rose just couldn't help but smile,

"Hey gorgeous" she replied as she put her hands on his hands and sighed in happiness.

"Have you been okay?"

"Yeah I've been fine, I just like sitting here listening to them play, it's wonderful and so relaxing"

"I know what you mean; I come down here when I want a break from the normal world" Seth replied making Rose smile as they both stood quietly to watch the orchestra, but Seth said "You ready to head out in a bit babe?"

"Haven't you got more work to do?"

"Yeah but it won't take long really"

"What is there to do?"

"A table read and recording voices, I was wondering if you wanted to watch"

"Of course I'd love to watch, you know I always do"

"Well sometimes I'm just never sure what you're doing"

"Seth I'd drop everything and come running to you, you know that"

"I know, I'd do the same for you babe" Rose smiled at that but soon turned around so she was facing Seth looking up at him, he looked quite tired but he was still happy. She couldn't help but put him into a hug and squeeze him tightly, and she smiled when Seth responded by wrapping his arms around her. "What's got you in this cuddly mood?" Seth asked making Rose smile and say "I don't know, just wanted to hug you that's all"

"You're cute" Seth replied making Rose giggle on his shoulder and say "And you're gorgeous"

"Wanna head back to the studios?"

"Okay" Rose replied and then followed Seth towards the exit, they bid everybody goodbye and then headed back to the studios to get some more work done.

Later in the evening Seth was sitting in his office going through some paperwork, while they had been at work his mail had come and he'd received an envelope containing information about Rose's parents. He was a little surprised at how fast it had got to him but he was pleased either way. So whilst Rose was getting ready in the bathroom, he'd snuck up to his office to read through the information. It contained all of the whereabouts of her father and what he had been doing for the past couple of years, and the last whereabouts of her mother before she died.

Marcus remained in Hawaii for a few years before travelling to Los Angeles for 4 months, then he'd travelled to New York and then back to Hawaii. But he'd been travelling alone, why hadn't he taken his new family with him? Maybe he'd come back to LA looking for Maggie? Or maybe Rose?

There were a lot of questions whizzing through Seth's head, none of which he could answer and that was very frustrating. The only way he'd get answers to his questions was to actually talk to Marcus, but he was back in Hawaii and Rose would kill Seth for making her travel out there to see him.

Seth just sighed as he shuffled the papers and put them back on the desk, but something caught his eye. It was a document he hadn't read and it was very recent, it stated that Marcus had been spotted in LA again and this time it was a month ago, the same time that Maggie had died. This made Seth sit up in his chair and read through the document again, Marcus had been here when Maggie died? Was he was murderer? Or the reason as to why she killed herself?

Now there were even more questions running through his mind causing more confusion and frustration. He knew he'd have to tell Rose about this soon but she was happy and excited about going out to dinner, he couldn't spoil her good mood with this. Especially if Marcus had killed Maggie, that would destroy her! He'd just have to wait until the time was right to tell her about it, he couldn't afford to spoil the mood for tonight and tomorrow. If he upset her then it would ruin his marriage proposal and then he'd be crushed. So he knew it was best to just push this aside for now and focus on other important things, then everything would be okay and then he'd deal with that issue when the time was right.

"Seth" Came Rose's sing song voice making Seth smile as he got up from his chair to open the door, "Yes babe?"

"Where are you?"

"In my office"

"Why?"

"Just needed to sort something out but I'm ready now"

"Okay then, I'm ready too"

"You're actually ready on time?"

"Shut up I'm always on time, you're the late one" Rose replied making Seth laugh as he walked down the stairs towards Rose who tucked her curly hair behind her ears. She looked stunning! She was wearing a knee length sky blue dress and a matching shrug and matching shoes, she looked incredible and Seth couldn't help it that his mouth was hanging open.

"I take it by that facial expression you like the dress?" Rose said as she twirled around and then stared at Seth with a small smile; Seth couldn't even put together a sentence so instead he said "Giggity" making Rose laugh a lot.

"Ooo a compliment from Quagmire, I must be special"

"You can even have a compliment from me, you're prettier than Lois" Seth said as Peter making Rose laugh again and cover her face, "Yes even I can say you look dashing" Seth continued but this time as Stewie making Rose giggle again.

"And what does Seth think?"

"You're so beautiful" Seth replied with a grin that melted Rose's insides, she had a goofy smile on her face as he walked closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. "You ready to go babe?"

"Yeah ready where you are" Rose replied and then followed Seth out the door to head towards the car. She loved nights like this, they were always so much fun and Seth really knew how to charm her and treat her like a princess. It was going to be a magical night!

Authors Note: Sorry it took so long to add a new chapter, been a hectic few weeks at work and building up to Christmas! I've noticed a few mistakes as i've read back a few chapters, i have absolutely no idea why i said Rose was 26 when she's only 22... i'll try and fix that lol plus i've had to push the proposal to the next chapter and the dreaded moment when Rose meets Seth's parents otherwise this chapter would be massive. I'll try and post a new chapter on here soon, don't give up on me! :) Thank you for all of the reviews, i'm glad you're liking it so far.. keep reviewing! :) xx
