Gary POV
I took Flynn back to the apartment with the ring in my pocket. CeCe was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. "So, what did you boys do today?" She asked as she looked up at us.
"We went to the park." I said as I looked at her.
"That sounds fun." She said as she looked at me. "Flynn go get cleaned up, Duce is going to take you to see mom." She said as she looked at her brother.
"I thought you were going to take him?" I asked her.
"I can't Dina needs me to take her sift at the token booth. If not then I will have to take care of the baby." She said as she looked at me. "I guess this is what you get when your best friend has a baby at seventeen." She said as she got up.
"Call her and tell her we will watch the baby." I said as I picked up the phone. "We can take the baby with us." I said as I looked at her.
"You can't take a baby to a hospital." CeCe said as she looked at me.
"Yes we can." I said as I looked at her. I tossed the phone as I said "Call her." An hour later we were walking into the hospital with Gaby. I couldn't help, but smile at the sight of CeCe holding a baby.
"Mrs. Jones your family is here to see you." The nurse said as we walked into the room.
"That better be Dina's baby." Her mother said with a laugh.
"Don't you think you would know if I had a baby?" CeCe asked as she sat down next to her mother's bed.
"I don't know you never do come and see me very often." She replied.
"Yeah, well I work a lot." CeCe said as she looked at her mother.
"Gary what are you doing here?" Mrs. Jones asked.
"CeCe and him are dating now. Have been for a while, I guess." Flynn said as he sat down across from CeCe.
"CeCe isn't he a bit old." Mrs. Jones said. "Is this because of the Ty thing?" She asked.
"Why does everyone have to bring up Ty? I ended it with him." She said as she got up. "I am going to take a walk." She said as she headed towards the door. I looked at Fylnn then at his mother.
"Hey little dude why don't you go get yourself a snack." I said as I pulled ten dollars out of my pocket.
"Why not." He said as he took my money.
"I will take him down to the cafeteria." The nurse said as she looked at us.
"Thank you." Mrs. Jones said as they walked out.
"I want to talk to you." I said as I sat down where CeCe was sitting.
"Typically you talk to the parents before you start dating their daughter." She said as she looked at me.
"I don't exactly want to ask you about dating your daughter." I said as I looked at her. Her face went white when I said that.
"You want to marry her, don't you?" She asked.
"Yes." I said as I looked down at the floor. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the ring box. "Flynn helped me pick out her ring." I said as I handed it over to her. I watched as she opened the box.
"She will love it." She said as she looked at the ring. "It's different like her." She said with a smile. "You know I have been in this situation before. Not even a few months ago. She said no to Ty, you might want to keep that in mind."
"I hope she won't say no." I said as she handed me back the ring.
"I haven't spent much time around you two, but when you came in here that was the happiest I have seen her in over a year. I hope she says yes because I just want to know she is happy. I know you can take care of her and Flynn. It would be nice to not have to worry about them so much." She said to me. "You don't know how hard it hurts not be able to help her. After Ty left she changed into someone else. She gave up all her plans and her dreams because of me. They were supposed to go to France together. She told him she couldn't go with him. She had to things to do here. He met a model on the plane gave her the ring he bought for CeCe and they are getting married in a couple months." She said as she looked at me. Flynn told me that CeCe took the breakup with Ty hard, but he didn't give me the whole story. "I think it was harder for her when Dina and Duce got married. Granted they had to because she got pregnant, but still. Everyone always taught CeCe and Ty would get married first." She said as she looked at me.
"I can't say that I won't hurt CeCe, I wish I could. But, when you are in a relationship someone always gets hurt. I can promise that I won't hurt her like Ty did. And if she says no I will keep asking." I said to her. "But you are one of the most important people in her life and I need your blessing." I said.
"I never thought I would say this, but you have it." She said as she looked at me. "Just take care of her." She said as I heard the noise of high heel boots walking towards the door. I looked back to see CeCe standing in the doorway.
"I see you two are getting along." She said as she walked into the room a little farther.
"Yeah, well we have something in common." Her mother said. CeCe looked confused for a minute. "You." Her mother said.
"Oh right." She said as she looked at her mother. We sat there for a couple hours listening to Flynn tell his life story to us after he came back with some pizza. When it came to leave I couldn't help at smile when she asked her mother "You going to watch Shake It Up tomorrow right?"
"I never miss it." Her mother said.
"Good." She said as she kissed her mother's head. I knew that tomorrow was the day I was going to officially ask her. I wanted the whole world to know that she was going to be mine. And I even have a few surprises up my sleeve.
