Chapter 29.

-2 MONTHS LATER-

*KATIE'S POINT OF VIEW*

"Antonia, please be quiet for Mommy! Look, I'll play Daddy's song for you, will that calm you down?"

I was bouncing Antonia gently up and down on my hip trying to get her to stop crying and become tired instead. It seemed Toby's 'Dramatic Song' was like a lullaby to her and she had to listen to it before even going to sleep at night.

Funnily enough Toby filmed a video of him playing the 'Dramatic Song' to her and when she was crying and she instantly quietened down and nuzzled her head in to my neck. The video quickly ended up going viral and was gaining millions. Talk about a famous baby huh?

Toby came bounding in to the room and scooped Antonia in to his arms. She instantly cuddled in to his warmth and calmed down. I sighed in relief and fell back on the bed.

"You know what we need?" Toby announced "we need a break. We've been working so hard lately juggling between work and Antonia and she is in need of new surroundings. Want to go out for a walk?"

I groaned. "I'm so tired Toby. Can't we go tomorrow?"

He shook his head. "The weather is great today" he insisted "it would be a shame to not make the most of it"

I contemplated the pros and cons in my head. At least the adventure would tire Antonia out and mean she would sleep well tonight without any disturbance.

"Where did you want to go?" I asked Toby through interest.

"I figured we could go hiking up the same place we went to when you collapsed" he suggested and I stared at him in disbelief.

"Are you seriously suggesting pushing the pram up there? If so then you're pushing it; I'm opting out"

Toby grinned and placed Antonia carefully in to her car chair before kissing her forehead. "Deal. Now let's go!"

I rolled my eyes and pulled myself off the bed. I ran downstairs to find my trainers and slipped them on. Toby was carrying Antonia out to the car cooing to her and strapping her in securely.

We pulled off the driveway and I leaned my head against the car window. Before I knew it I had fell asleep peacefully to the calming vibration of car motion and Toby had to wake me up when we had arrived at our destination.

I clambered out the car and looked around me whilst Toby fiddled with unbuckling Antonia from her car seat and setting her up in her fold away pram. Instant flashbacks of the day me and Toby first came here played over and over in my head:

I twirled around. "Wow, it's so beautiful!"

Last time we came here we were just getting to know one another. And now we had been through so much together and had our beautiful baby daughter. Isn't it amazing how much life can change within a click of a finger?

But this time we came prepared. We had all the baby things, water bottles and lighter clothing. Luckily it wasn't as such of a boiling hot day like our previous meeting here and a light wind graced our skin.

"You ready guuuurl?" Toby asked with a mischievous look on his face and I smiled back as a silent reply.

We made our way up the trail whilst Antonia led soundly in her pram.

"Look Ant" I called pointing in to the direction in front of me. "There's a butterfly! Your very first butterfly! And over there is a pretty birdie. Birdies say cheep cheep!"

The whole journey up we reached higher and higher, and as we got higher and higher the sights became more gorgeous and there were plenty more wonderful things to point out to Antonia in which she had never seen before. It was incredibly sweet to think this would be the first time she had ever set eyes on such wonderful nature.

As we finally reached the top we set down a picnic blanket and sat down on it. Toby had lifted Antonia out of her pram and was cradling her in his arms showing off the surroundings to her.

"It's nice Mommy didn't get a boo boo this time isn't it sweetie?" he asked rhetorically to Antonia and I couldn't help but laugh gleefully.

I pulled out my phone and snapped a photo of Toby and Antonia together in front of a lovely view of the world down below. I instantly decided to use the photo as the background on my phone.

This was my family.

"Shall we ask Mommy our special question now Antbuscus?" Toby asked Antonia and I could have sworn she smiled in response.

"What question?" I asked in curiosity.

Toby ignored me and just stood up to place Antonia back in her pram.

"Stand up Katie" he told me.

I stayed glued to the ground. "Why should I?" I questioned now concerned.

If curiosity really did kill the cat then they would be extinct by now.

"Please" he pressured and I sighed before standing up in front of him.

Toby stayed on the ground and I seemed to be standing over him not knowing what to do with myself.

"Well this is awkward" I joked nervously breaking the silence.

Before I could come to terms with what he was doing Toby rose up on one knee and it suddenly clicked. I glanced at Antonia who was now sleeping silently and a tear fell down my face.

Toby reached in to his pocket and pulled out a velvet navy blue box with gold going around it. Trying to keep myself together I placed one hand on his shoulder and locked eyes with him.

Toby's eyes twinkled in the sun and his whole face seemed to light up. "You took me to Rogue Cafe to tell me about our beautiful baby girl as it was a place that meant a lot to us, so I took the next best thing which was to bring you here to now have my turn to give you some brilliant news"

"Oh Toby..." I whispered with attempts to control my voice from breaking in to sobs.

"We have been through so much together and I knew I wanted you the day I bumped in to you on that hot Los Angeles summer day. You gave me the best things in life: Yourself and our daughter. You both mean absolutely everything to me and that will never change. You are both the light in my eyes and own my ever beating heart. Me and Antonia share a surname- now I want you to do so as well. Let's complete this family Katie. Will you marry me?"

I couldn't control it anymore. "Yes!" I exclaimed and burst in to tears of happiness. I held out my trembling left hand and Toby placed the perfectly fitting ring on to my ring finger.

"It's perfect" I complimented through overwhelming emotions.

Toby now also had a tear running down his face. "As are you" he whispered and stood up to pull me in to a massive hug.

It felt like forever when we reluctantly pulled away from one another.

I bent down to Antonia's pram and picked her up in my arms. Toby put his arm around me and another on Antonia's fragile body.

"I love you both" he told us with pure meaning.

"We love you too" I replied without hesitation.

I kissed Antonia's forehead. "Hear that baby? Me and Daddy are getting married!"

Toby smirked. "Oh, she already knew! We have been planning it for ages"

I inhaled the sweet air and exhaled steadily.

As me, Toby and Antonia stood upon this mountain locked in one another's embrace looking down on Los Angeles below we felt like on top of the world.

As for emotions wise;

We felt like were were on top of the universe.

Or more.
