Artie was laughing uncontrollably a Tina gave him an angry pout with her hands on her hips. The outfit she was wearing was a complete 180 from the clothes she usually wore. Like she had promised, Tina was wearing the maternity outfit Artie's mom had picked out for her to wear at the Abrams family gathering, and today was the day. She was wearing a pale pink, ruffkey top with a soft, matching white sweater since they were just now going into the month of January. And since it was Lima, Ohio there was plenty of snow and cold. To go with them, she had a pair of white straight legged pregnancy pants made of material resembling, but lighter than, denim. She had to admit, they were comfy. On her feet she wore a pair of pale pink flats and white stockings. She did her makeup light and natural without being asked just to avoid hassle from Mrs. Abrams. And her hair had been curled at the request and hands of and Cassidy. As a final touch, she put on small pink, hhop earrings and a pink penant necklace that belonged to . Sometimes Tina had to dress down and wear certain outfits for Glee club performances but those were nothing compared to this.

"Do I really look that bad?" Tina asked with a small, wounded puppy frown.

Artie stopped laughing and gave an apologetic smile while motioning for him to sit on his lap,"No, you look beautiful like always. It's just different."

She was now sitting on Artie's lap with her arms connected behind his neck,"Do you want me to start dressing like this all the time? Do you think it will help me look more like a mother?"

"No, I want you to dress the way you always do because that's the way you like to dress. And I love you as yourself, I always have. And you are going to be the best mother, no matter what you dress like."

She smiled and pulled him into a deep kiss. They didn't part until Cassidy cleared her throat and declared the family had arrived. At the end she couldn't help but add,"Gheesh, get a room," as she headed down the stairs.

Artie yelled back at her,"We were in my room!"

Tina laughed and climbed off Artie's lap. He took the small elevator down to the first floor after giving her one more quick kiss. As she as she knew Artie had already reached the bottoom, Tina made her way down the stairs. Before she could even reach the bottom step, she was engulfed into a huge hug by two of Artie's aunts at the same time. She looked up and saw the whole Abrams clan gathered in the living room. She saw his 3 uncles, 4 aunts, 6 cousins, both his grandparents and ofcourse his family with the addition of his older brother and his girlfriend. It wasn't long before every member noticed her and gave her big hugs and warm compliments.

She had met every member of the Abrams family several times before. She had been considered part of the family since she first met Artie in the sixth-grade. They were all warm and kind and excepted her. And they were all more than supportive towards Artie after his accident. They all made their homes wheelchair-accessible so they'd always be able to visit. She always told Artie he had the type of family she could only dream of having. He always told her she did have that type of family, she was considered an Abrams. Now more than ever, that statement was more then accurate.

Artie's older brother, Mark, had arrived the day before with his girlfriend to stay a couple days with the family. He, and the rest of the Abrams family, had been informed about the recent events and the baby beforehand. All were extremely supportive and Mark said he was super excited to be an uncle. Mark was tall, athletic and muscular. Hima nd Artie were polar opposites, but the two were still extremely close. He introduced his girlfriend, Alli, of seven months to Tina who was meeting her for the first time. The family had already met her and loved her. She had dark skin, curly black hair, and large brown eyes. She was also one of the kindest people Tina had ever met. While the two of them helped prepare the dinner the night before, she gushed about how lucky ahe was that both of her sons had found such lovely girls. Their father noted the fact that his sons liked exotic girls, which made the two boys blush violently and make the girls laugh uncontrollably. Then the two just smiled at eachother and had lovely conversations all night long. Mark and Alli would be staying in Artie's room while Artie and Tina would be staying in her room. His parents didn't fight the two sleeping together since they knew it had been doing it the last couple months. Then knew when she moved in, it was going to be only a matter of time.

Tina was shuffled around from family member to family member. Each asked questions and felt her stomach, although the baby was still not kicking. His aunts and made her promise they could throw her a baby shower later on in her pregnancy. She agrred as long as her friends were invited.

While talking to Mark he began to joke with her."So if you guys are going to have a kid, when are you going to get married?"

Tina gave a small awkward smile, she didn't know how to answer that question. At that moment Artie cleared his throat and Tina turned around to face him. Everyone got silent and turned around so they could see Tina and Artie in the middle of the room.

"I have something to say,"he wheeled forward and held Tina's hand. "Tina Mai Cohen-Chang, from the first time we met in sixth grade, we became best were always there for me and I always tried to be there for you. I developed even stronger feelings for you over the years and the first time we kissed all my dreams came true. We had our problems but we always overcame them. You got pregnant, which isn't easy to overcome when you're a teenager, but we've handled it so well, especially you. We're still young and have a long way to go, but I love you and I know you're the one. This baby is a miracle, you're a miracle. If it wasn't for you, I would've never found a friend or joined Glee club and gotten more friends. I'm not doing this just because you're pregnant, I'm doing this because I love you and I want you to know I'm serious. It'll probably be a long time before it happens. We hve to focus on being parents, finishing school and makking the best of ourselves for our I'm trying to say is, Tina...will you please marry me?" As Artie finished his last sentence he pulled out a ring with a large saphire diamond in the middle with tiny white diamonds on each side surronding it. The room gasped and Tina collapsed on Artie's lap as she sobbed and hugged him. She pulled back and nodded because she was unable to speak. He smiled and slid the ring on her finger. They hugged again as the room cheered and Mr. and sobbed tears of joy.
