Fred and Emerald rested in each other's arms that night, making love under the white moonlight. They opened the moon roof of Emerald's car, allowing the moonlight to bath each other in its white glow. The night air was chilly, but they managed to keep each other warm. It was the first time that they were allowed to be loud, to call out each other's names at whatever volume they wanted. They had lost track of time after the sixth or seventh time and had fallen asleep, covered by a blanket that Emerald had stashed under the drivers seat. When Fred took her into his arms after finding the blanket, she was shivering slightly.

"Do you want me to close the roof?" He asked. Emerald shook her head, snuggling against Fred's chest.

"No, I like the light." She said. "The moonlight is so pretty, it would be a shame to shut it out." Fred smirked.

"Are you tired?"

"No, I'm wide awake." Fred creased his brow.

"Oh, then I've done a bad job tonight." Emerald laughed.

"No, you can do no wrong." Fred gently rubbed her shoulder as they both shut their eyes, relaxed by the gentle blowing wind flowing through the trees. They stayed wrapped up in each others arms with soft smiles on their faces.

"Let's just stay…we don't need to go back." Fred whispered. Emerald laughed lightly.

"Your mother will have a fit if we're not back soon." She left his embrace and started searching for her clothing, but Fred pulled her back into his arms.

"She'll get over it." He told her firmly. "Just stay with me." Emerald sighed and rested her head against Fred's chest.

"This isn't going to be very comfortable sleeping in the backseat of a car."

"If we were comfortable doing it in the backseat of a car, we'll be comfortable sleeping in the backseat of a car." He muttered, his eyes still closed with a huge smirk on his face. Emerald pressed against his body, her nipples growing hard against his cool skin. He smirked slightly.

"Does somebody need another go?" Emerald giggled.

"No, it's just very cold and you're being perverted." Fred chuckled.

"Sorry, but it's what I do best." Emerald shook her head as she forced herself up and began putting her clothes back on. She handed Fred his pants and he reluctantly put them on. "Come on, can't we just stay for a few more hours?"

"And what do you suggest we do for the next few hours?"

"You know what I wanna do." He muttered. Emerald rolled her eyes as she pulled her bra over her arms and fastened it behind her back.

"We did it seven times, isn't that enough for you?" Fred raised an eyebrow.

"I'm 18, do you honestly think that I've had enough?" He asked with a loud laugh. Emerald laughed as they were finally dressed, but curled up in one another's arms.

"I don't want your mom to hate me." She whispered against his cheek. Fred smirked.

"My mom doesn't hate you. She adores you because you're a girl and you like me." Emerald raised an eyebrow.

"What does me being a girl have to do with anything?" She asked. Fred sighed.

"Don't make me go into the whole grandchild thing, I'm not really in the mood." Emerald laughed, covering her face with her hands.

"Are you serious?" She asked. "We're 18, we're not having kids…marriage isn't even an option." Fred started to play with her hair, not answering. She looked up at him with her eyes wide. "It isn't, right?" Fred averted her gaze, looking out the moon roof and pretending he wasn't thinking about it.

"…Maybe…we should…" Emerald furrowed her brow together, pushing herself up and staring at him.

"Fred, we've barely known each other for a few months…and we haven't been dating much longer…you can't expect us to get married now." She said, running a hand through her tousled hair. "Think about this rationally, we can't get married…we just can't!" Fred sat up to face her.

"Just think about it from where I'm coming from for a second." He whispered, pulling her close. "If we got engaged, maybe…your grandmother wouldn't force you to marry Kent. If things didn't work out, we could just break off the engagement and your grandmother might be gone by then…" Emerald quirked an eyebrow.

"I'm going to assume that you've thought about this…a lot…" She muttered, a smirk slowly spreading across her face. Fred pursed his lips together.

"Don't laugh." He muttered. "I'm trying to help you." Emerald gently cupped his cheek, offering him a kind smile.

"I know and I appreciate it…but…it would never work."

"We don't know unless we try." He took her hands, holding them against his chest. "Please, let's try, it won't hurt anybody!" He exclaimed. Emerald's expression suddenly softened, her eyes flicking downwards in thought.

"I don't want us to get hurt Fred…I want this to work more than you can imagine." Fred leaned his forehead against hers, gently kissing her as she whimpered.

"There's nothing to worry about." He whispered. "I'll take care of you and I'll love you forever." Emerald smiled as she kissed him again.

"Do you promise?" Fred nodded.

"Forever." Emerald smirked.

"Then I'm yours…now should we go give your mother a heart attack and tell her the good news?" Fred laughed.

"Oh let's!"

Fred jumped into the front seat of the car with Emerald popping into the passenger's seat. She smiled as he brought the engine to life with a loud roar and he ripped away from the church and back onto the main road. He went roaring down the road, his entire body pumping with adrenaline. Of course he was happy; Emerald had agreed to get engaged. He didn't know whether or not they would stay engaged, but he wasn't thinking about that now. His main focus was where was he going to find a ring on such short notice? He hadn't actually though to get a ring because he hadn't thought that far into the process.

Emerald suddenly glanced over to him, a huge smirk spread across her face.

"Did we just get engaged?" She asked with a little smirk. Fred chuckled.

"Yeah…I think we did…"
