Sarah, exhausted from a long day of shopping with Lindsay and Stella, was lying on the couch when Flack came home.
"Hey Don how was the rest of you day?" Sarah asked sitting up to make room for him on the couch.
"Not too bad. Did you have a good time shopping? Did you find a dress?" Flack asked as Sarah lay back down on the couch, putting her head in Flack's lap.
"Sure did. You are going to love it." A smile crept across her face as she thought about the dress hanging in her closet.
"What about Lindsay and Stella, they find anything?" That's a stupid question, Flack thought to himself. Between the two of them they probably bought the whole store.
"Lindsay did, but Stella is still looking. Lindsay's dress is amazing and she looks great in it. She will be lucky if Danny lets her out of the apartment after he sees it." They both laughed.
The sat there in silence, watching TV for a long time. It was moments like these that made Flack realize how much he loved her.
"Sarah we need to talk." Sarah bolted up, fear spread across her face.
"Talk? About what?" Sarah tried not to sound nervous, but the words 'we need to talk' never meant good news.
"About what I said this morning." Flack paused. "About us and marriage."
"Oh that." Sarah released a breath that she did not realize she was holding. "For a moment there I thought you were breaking up with me." Sarah let out a small laugh.
"What? Oh god no. You know I love you right?" Flack now was the one that was nervous.
"Yes I do, but usually when someones say we need to talk, it means bad news."
"I am sorry, that was not my intention."
"That's okay." Sarah smiled. "Now back to this marriage thing. I have to admit that I was a little shocked when you mentioned us getting married this morning."
"I bet you were, considering we have never even come close to talking about it before. Honestly I did not even realize that I said it until Danny told me later." Flack's brain was running a mile a minute trying to come up with the right word to say. "I had a whole speech planned for what I was going to say, but right now I cannot remember any of it, so I am just going to wing it." Sarah stared at Flack, not really sure what was going on. "When Danny and Lindsay first got together I was completely jealous. They had a connection that I could only dream about. There love was so pure and beautiful that it made me realize what I was missing. Then you came along. I knew from the moment I met you, you were special. I love you with all my heart. I would do anything for you. I never thought of myself as the marrying type, but that was before I met you." Sarah had tears in her eyes, as she realized what Flack was about to ask. "Danny told me not to do anything until I talked to you, but I stopped by Tiffany's on the way home and bought this you this." Flack got up and walked over to his coat and out of his pocket he pulled a little blue box. He walked back to the couch and kneeled in front of her. "Sarah Lisa Scott, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Flack opened the box and sitting there, staring up at Sarah was a beautiful 1 karat princess cut diamond engagement ring.
"Oh my god Don, I don't know what to say."
"Say yes." Please god let her say yes, Flack silently prayed.
"Of course I will marry you."Sarah said through the tears. Flack pulled the ring out of the box and slipped it onto her finger. "Oh Don it gorgeous."
"Just like you." Flack said as he pulled her into a kiss. "I love you Sarah."
"I love you too."
The next morning Sarah was waiting for Lindsay, Stella and Peyton at the cafe that they had decided to meet at for breakfast. The cafe was close to the lab since Stella, Peyton and Lindsay were already at work. After the previous nights adventures Sarah was glad that she did not have to be at work until noon. Sarah blushed as she replayed the previous night in her head.
"It is too early in the day to be blushing like that." Stella smirked as she and the others sat down at the table.
"Funny Stel." Sarah made sure to keep her hands out of sight, she knew that Stella could spot a diamond ring a mile away.
"So, what's going on?" Lindsay asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Nothing is going on. Can't a girl take her best friends out for breakfast without there being something up?"
"Sarah in the year or so that we have known you, you have never offered to treat us to breakfast." Peyton teased.
"Well there is a first time for everything."
"No, you are hiding something. Spill it." Lindsay said.
"Okay fine. You will never guess what happened last night."
"If you are going to tell us about the amazing sex you had with Flack then..." Stella stopped mid sentence when Sarah pulled her hand out from under the table.
"Don proposed!" The three women screamed.
"Oh my god Sarah it's beautiful." Stella said as she grabbed her hand. "Tiffany's right."
"How could you possibly know that?" Sarah asked shockingly.
"Just one of my many talents." Stella teased.
"I am so happy for you. Don is a great guy." Peyton said as she admired the ring. "He has good taste in rings too."
"I told Danny that you two would be engaged by the end of the year, he owes me fifty bucks." Lindsay joked. "I know that it is early but have you talked about dates yet?"
"No not yet, all we did last night was call my parents." Sarah blushed again.
"Some how I doubt that is all you did." Stella smiled and Sarah's face turned even redder.
"Well I have one request." Lindsay said as she placed her hands on the slight bulge of her belly. She was three months along and just starting to show. "I am due in June, so please either have the wedding soon or wait until Baby Messer is born. I don't want to look like a whale in your wedding photos." The four women laughed.
"I certainly don't want my Maid of Honor looking like a whale." Sarah paused as she waited for the statement to sink in.
"Are you serious?" Lindsay felt tears welling up in her eyes. Stupid hormones, she moaned to herself. "I would be honored and I promise not to drive you crazy like Stella did me." Lindsay ducked as Stella threw her napkin at her.
"Did you or did you not have the perfect wedding?" Stella asked Lindsay.
"Yes Stella it was perfect. I could not have done it with out you, yada, yada, yada." Lindsay smiled. "But you do have to admit that you got a little crazy toward the end."
"Okay maybe just a little." Stella chuckled. "But can you blame me. With everything that happened I just wanted you to be happy." Tears once again threatened to fall.
"And I appreciated it Stella, really I did." Lindsay reached across the table and gave Stella's hand a squeeze. "Okay, that is enough about me. Let's get back to the bride to be."
The four women continued there breakfast, none of them really caring that they had long ago exceeded there break time.
