6 months later

"Where are you taking me?" Katie groaned out. James had blindfolded her and driven her across the city.

"You'll see. We're here anyway." James said excitedly.

Katie could feel him put the car in park and hear him rustle around with his seatbelt before opening and closing his door. She unbuckled herself while she waited for him to come around to her side. He opened her door and helped her out of the car. She sniffed the air.

"Are we...are we at the beach?" Katie cried, almost angrily.

"No! Geez woman, stop jumping to conclusions. Watch your step," James huffed, gently guiding her along by her shoulders.

"Well, I can clearly hear those blasted seagulls and the ocean, and feel the sun on my face, Whoa." Katie stumbled towards the end of her rant.

"I told you to watch your step. Now, keep moving forward."

Katie felt the uneven ground beneath her feet. "Are we at the marina?"

James sighed into her ear. "Yes, now will you please walk?"

Katie grumbled, but complied to her boyfriend's demands.

Katie had enjoyed a month of exploration of Europe. She had climbed the Eiffel Tower and lazily drifted through Sicily in a gondola before skiing down the Alps. She made sure to end her month-long hiatus spending it with her mom on the yoga-retreat Jennifer Knight eventually went on.

She came back to Los Angeles feeling rejuvenated. Jack and Laura had the ship sailing smoothly. Laura had gladly relinquished the CEO position back to Katie when she returned, knowing that she did want more time to spend with her children. However, she reached a compromise, by accepting a smaller managing position within the company. With FMA gone, a number of talents who had worked with Fulton needed new management. Laura and Jack had conferenced with Katie about the decision to expand their clientele, and Katie agreed, thus expanding the company even further. Katie had asked Laura to stay with Knight Management to handle a couple of clients.

Jack only ran into a few problems with James because of their first encounter. But, after James asserted his dominance by declaring that Katie was off limits, he grudgingly took Jack out for a round of beer, where the two eventually ended up bonding over hair care and surfing. Katie had sent Jack an email, thanking him for putting up with James' antiquated behaviour when James had called and told her about his 'showdown with that Jack fella.' She was glad that Jack held no hard feelings about their awkward beginning, and as predicted, Katie and Jack worked well together. Camille, who had a good laugh about the story, took pity on the blond-haired manager and set him up repeatedly with various women she knew, causing him to avoid the brunette's calls on a number of occasions.

Apart from meddling in other people's love lives, Cam was really invested into her work and with Logan. The two did move in together and became quite the domestic couple, when they had time to spend together. As a new intern at the hospital, Logan suffered a lack of social life, and slept most nights in the on-call room. Camille, glad to have Logan back in her life, waited patiently for the nights she did get to spend with him. Luckily, The Criteria's writers kept her busy by creating an extensive storyline for her character on the show, which kept her almost as equally busy as her counterpart.

Katie dramatically waved her hands in front of her. "Are you planning on pushing me into the ocean? It's your own fault, you know, I told you we were moving too fast by having me move in with you. This wouldn't be happening if I still lived in my condo." Katie grabbed at her temple, when James flicked her. "Hey!"

"Honestly, you're ruining a perfectly good day with your pessimism. Anyway, you could move back into your condo, no one's stopping you. It'd be a little cramp though, don't you think?" James asked, continuing to push her gently along.

Katie grumbled incoherently, refusing to acknowledge that what James said was true.

A few months after she had returned, James asked her to move in with him. Katie would have refused if he hadn't played a card that she would automatically lose to. He sent Carlos to do his dirty work by having the Latino ask Katie to let him live in her condo.

Carlos had started filming just as Katie came back from her vacation and moved back in with James when she returned. He had promised that it was a temporary measure until he could find a place that he could call his own but filming had taken over his schedule and he barely had time to talk to his friends, let alone go house hunting. Knowing that Katie spent quite a lot of time at James' mansion and having lived in Katie's condo for a short while, Carlos suggested that they exchange residences, at least until he moved out. Two months later, and Carlos still hadn't moved out. Unable to deject one of her closest friends, Katie agreed to the move, leaving most of her belongings for Carlos' enjoyment. Katie was sure that Carlos was still occupying her abode on James' orders because he had finished filming his first movie weeks ago, and was beginning to engage in another project.

"Okay, we're here," James proclaimed happily.

"Finally. Can I can take off this bandana now?" Katie asked.

"Yes."

Katie reached up to pull the bandana off. She squinted slightly as the sun hit her eyes. Blinking, she turned to James, unimpressed. "It's a yacht."

"No...it's my yacht!"

Katie continued blinking at him.

"Don't you remember my list of things that I wanted to accomplish? You know...go on tour with BTR, break out on my own, start a movie career...buy a yacht?" James looked at her expectantly.

Katie snapped her fingers, "Oh, right!" She studied the large vessel in front of her. "It is a nice yacht, wait a minute, did you name this after me?" Katie turned to look at James with wide eyes.

James grinned at her. "Yep, you're looking at the newly christened S.S. Katherine."

Katie's heart leapt to her throat, but tried not to let her excitement show, in case James held it over her. She crossed her arms, "I thought you were going to call it the S.S. Awesome?"

"They're pretty synonymous." James wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind. "Admit it, you like that she's named after you."

Katie couldn't help the smile that graced her lips. She put her hands on his arm still wrapped around her, "Come on, show me around, smooth-talker."

James let out a chuckle and lead her up his new yacht. Katie climbed the short ladder that led to the deck. She looked around, admiring the spacious layout as James went into grab something from the bridge.

"Are we taking her out today?" Katie asked, leaning across railing to stare out to the ocean, when he came back.

"Yes, we are. We're just waiting on a couple of other people," James answered, pulling her down to sit beside him on the bow of the yacht.

"You invited the others?" Katie exclaimed happily. With their full and conflicting schedules, it was hard to gather the gang to meet as frequently as they would have liked.

James nodded. He stared out at the view, keeping quiet. Katie leaned her head on his shoulder, joining him. She couldn't believe that they had gotten this far together. After coming back from her short expedition, she returned to find James waiting at the airport with a bouquet of comic books, causing her to run, laughing, into his arms. She remembered thinking that she was right to start a relationship with the man who currently enveloped her.

As she was vacationing, James sent daily emails, which started off with information that she had already gathered from the office about how he acquired an agent through Jack, who incidentally turned out to be Marka's agent, Rachel Chang. As the month progressed, the emails became more personal, partially due to one of Katie's earlier responses about how he didn't have to act like they were just getting to know each other just because they were officially together now.

Katie smiled thinking about the emails. At the end of every letter, James mentioned how he couldn't wait to see her again and kept a countdown of when she would return. Katie had to admit, James could be devastatingly charming when he wanted to be.

Though Katie had mentioned that they shouldn't behave like they were strangers, she couldn't help but worry about what they would be like when she returned. This was a new territory for them, and she was still weary about their level of commitment to the relationship.

To her utter amazement, the transition from friendship to romantic relationship was much smoother than she anticipated. When she first reminded James about how she wanted to move through the relationship slowly, he had disagreed immediately. James thought that moving the relationship too fast or too slow would be forceful, and either way would not benefit what he wanted with her. He suggested that they let the relationship run naturally, they would make the decisions together, but there was no way that he would let something like relationship structures dictate whether or not they were good together.

Luckily, Katie found logic in his reasoning and agreed, though she was still partial to moving the relationship slowly. While she had indeed moved in with James seemingly quickly, for them, it was a natural next step that they needed to take. They had already lived together before, the only difference was that they now shared a bed.

Katie fidgeted, thinking about the first time being intimate with James in the bed that they shared. She and James had kept their sexual frustration at bay for a total of three weeks after she returned. But the tension, which had accumulated since that fateful conversation about her becoming his manager, became too much and they had coupled after a highly stimulated dinner. She remembered how electric and passionate and full of love that night was for her, and Katie had realized that all her previous experiences were lacking because she had never felt so loved like she did with James. As promised before she left, Katie unintentionally made up for James' month of lack of sex. Once they had crossed that line, they couldn't keep their hands off each other for a long duration of time. It was one of the major factors of why Carlos decided to move out, having walked in on them on a few occasions when they ventured outside of the bedroom.

James cleared his throat, startlingly Katie out of reverie. "What are you thinking about?"

Katie could feel her face heating up. If it were anyone else, Katie would have probably said it was nothing, but because it was James, she didn't have to hide anymore. She turned her head so that her chin rested on his arm while she looked up at him. "I was thinking about us. There's a part of me that still can't believe that we made it this far." She smirked at him, "Usually by now, you'd have long forgotten who I was, and I would be slaving away at the office, not caring about you in the slightest." She shifted herself so that she could feel his breath across her lips. "But, I can't imagine being apart from you, now."

He smiled gently before stealing her lips with his. When they broke apart, James reached for her hands to fiddle with them. After being with him for half a year, Katie knew that this was a habit he had whenever he wanted to confess something emotional. She studied him with her chocolate eyes, waiting for him patiently.

He cleared his throat again. "I have something for you."

Katie grinned, "I knew you were hiding something from me. What is it?"

James pulled out the blue photo album from his other side.

"Hey, it's my photo album."

"Yeah...I figured it was about time I actually gave it to you."

Katie giggled, and took the book from him, flipping through it casually. She stopped at one that caught her eye. "Hey, this is the one from our 'Cuda shoot. When did you get this?" She asked, looking up at her counterpart.

"I asked Tony to send me one that day that we went to pick out the shots we wanted. This one was my favourite. You look breathtaking, as usual."

A flashback of seeing James whisper something into Tony's ear crossed Katie's mind. She had forgotten about the incident. She closed the album and pushed it back into James' hands. "Keep it, you'll do a much better job of preserving this than I would. I'd probably drop it into the ocean by the end of the night."

James nodded, but didn't take it, like she assumed he would. "Katie, you would still do anything to help me fulfil my dreams, right?"

"Of course," Katie answered immediately. James' slow speech patterns were beginning to alarm her.

"Well, there's something that I'm going to need your help with. You see, there was one other thing I had to check off my list of accomplishments that I left out, earlier." James let out a breath, brushing back his bangs with one hand. "I said that I'd also be married to a super hot model."

Katie's eyes widened slightly, as James' hazel ones studied hers. She looked down to the blue album in her hands, piecing together the information that James had presented her.

"Flip to the last page," James gently commanded.

Katie glanced up at him, before shakily turning the book over so that she would open to the last page. She gasped openly into her hands at what she saw. Underneath a picture of him on one knee, in his familiar loopy writing bore the message:

Will you marry me?

Katie looked up to find James holding out a ring. "So, Katherine...are you still willing to help me accomplish my dreams?"

Silent tears slid down her face as Katie nodded aggressively. She beamed, throwing her arms around his neck. "Yes, I'll marry you." She leaned back to cup his face and drew him into a kiss.

James grinned, pulling back. "You're gonna have to put on the ring, then."

Katie nodded again, holding out her hand to let him slid the ring home.

Katie grinned again, and was about to pull James into another kiss when a storm of clapping and hollering burst through the air. She turned her head to find Carlos, Camille and Logan, walking towards them with a video camera.

She turned her head back to James, "You planned this!" She exclaimed, quite stupidly out of joy.

James chuckled, "You bet I did."

Katie giggled before standing up, tugging James up as well. Carlos and Logan latched onto their former bandmate, slapping him on the back. Cam immediately pulled her into a hug.

"Congratulations!"

Katie grinned, returning the squeeze. "Thank you!" She exclaimed letting go.

Carlos grabbed onto Katie the second she released Cam. "I can't believe you're marrying James! I can't believe that James is getting married!"

Katie continued giggling, overwhelmed with joy. "I know, right?"

Carlos laughed along with her before teasingly poking her in the stomach. "I never took you to be the girl who cries at a proposal."

Katie shoved him, rolling her eyes. "Shut up," she groaned, blushing all the while. "Just wait until you propose to someone. I can almost guarantee a screw up," she jokingly added.

"That," Logan interrupted them, "is almost a hundred percent true. Come here," he held out his arms for Katie, which she went into willingly. "I'm still not exactly sure why someone as smart as you is dating, oh excuse me, engaged to a guy like James."

Logan's comment earned him a slap on the head from James, making him yelp and release Katie.

Katie giggled, returning to James' side. She was glad that she could share this occasion with her closest friends, but it would have been better if her brother had been here, as well. She shook her head, trying to shake off the negativity.

James placed his hand on Katie's waist, pulling her closer to his side. "You know, this moment is almost perfect."

Katie looked up at him, frowning, "What do you mean?"

James, however, wasn't looking at her. Katie followed his line of sight only to gasp again.

Walking in from behind Carlos, Cam and Logan were Kendall, Jennifer, and Brooke Diamond.

Katie quickly ran over to her family, embracing them in a group hug. "What are you guys doing here?" She turned to smile nervously at James's mother. "Hi, Mrs. Diamond."

Brooke Diamond walked over and scrutinized Katie for so long, that Katie looked feverishly at her fiancé for help. Brooke had seen the glance and looked at her son, too.

"So, James. Katie's the one that you want to marry?"

James cleared his throat and confidently looked his mother in the eye, when he reached out for Katie's hand. "Yes, mom. I'm marrying Katie." He turned his hazel eyes to Katie. "She's the one I love, and she loves me, too."

Katie smiled at him, before waiting for Brooke's verdict.

Brooke let out a small smile, "Well then, Katie, you better start calling me 'mom,' too."

James let out a relieved sigh, "You approve?"

Brooke came closer to pat him on his cheeks, "Of course. Katie's smart, beautiful, and runs her own company. I see a lot of her in me." She pulled James into a hug.

Katie looked at James and the others, alarmed at Brooke's comment. She quickly relaxed when all of them shook their heads aggressively.

Jennifer Knight walked over and placed her hands gently on Brooke's shoulders from behind her. "Looks like we're really family now."

Katie gave her mom a grateful smile. She was glad that her mom was supportive of their relationship, but then she remembered that Jennifer Knight was fairly easy-going. The only thing she really had a problem with was the odd fights the gang would get into.

Katie went over to Kendall who was standing to the side, seemingly waiting for her to approach him. She raised her eyebrows at him in question. "Well? Are you okay with this?"

Kendall smirked, crossing his arms. "I kind of have to be. I already gave James my blessing."

Katie turned on her heels to glare quizzically at James for an explanation.

He shuffled his feet before muttering, "I, um, may have asked for your hand from Kendall." Katie gave him a look of disbelief. He threw up his hands in exasperation. "Do you think he would have agreed otherwise? Besides, I like being traditional, okay?"

Katie shook her head, turning back to her brother. "So, why did you just show up now?"

"I had to pick up mom and Mrs. Diamond from the airport."

During her trek across Europe, Kendall had decided to take the job as assistant coach to the L.A. Kings. He had moved back shortly after Katie's return, reoccupying her guest room in the condo. When she moved out and Carlos moved in, Kendall took over her room, thus becoming roommates with the Latino.

Jennifer had decided to stay in Minnesota, having grown to love her job as a consultant to future stage-moms. However, Kendall was constantly pestering her to move the business out to California so that he and Katie could remain close to her. Katie secretly agreed to her brother's plan, having missed her mother's presence in her life, but she knew that her mother would choose whatever was best for her.

Katie tilted her head to one side, studying her brother's relaxed attitude. "I kind of expected a bigger reaction from you."

Kendall grinned and pulled Katie to him. "You mean, you want me to freak out at how fast your relationship is moving? First you guys date, then you move in together, and now you're engaged all in a period of half a year...yeah, I see your point." He chuckled, still holding onto Katie, "I trust your judgement, Katie. If I thought that this wasn't right for you, you would have definitely heard me say something by now. And, I can see how happy you guys are together. Besides, I already had my freak out when James asked me, I'm over it."

Katie giggled, "Love you, big brother."

"Love you, too, baby sis." Kendall turned to look at James. "Even though I'm letting you marry her, you are not allowed to sleep with her. If I find out that you got my sister pregnant, I'm going to keep good on my threat to murder you."

James gulped while Katie rolled her eyes. "Mom!"

"Kendall! Don't try to stop your sister from giving me grandchildren."

Everyone's eyes popped wide open at the eldest Knight's comment.

"Mom," Katie called, red in the face, "that won't be happening for a very, very long time." She smirked and added, "Besides, wouldn't it be more special if your first grandchild came from your firstborn?"

"Katie!" Kendall shouted with large green eyes, knowing that their mother was going to agree with her.

"That's what you get for trying to impede on my sex-life," Katie answered bluntly, uncaring if she made the guests feel awkward.

Carlos clapped his hands, trying to clear the air. "Okay, can we break out the champagne, now?"

James coughed and shook his head. "Not yet. We're still waiting on a few more people."

Katie gave him a puzzled look to which he responded, "You'll see."

Katie shrugged and went to engage her mother and future mother-in-law in conversation. Katie thought of how bewildering that comment sounded in her head. After a few minutes of catching up, she heard clambering and commotion coming from the stern of the yacht. She openly gasped as she saw all of their closest friends and people of her company appear on deck. She made her way to James.

"You invited everyone?" She asked, astounded.

"I had to. It's a big moment," James feigned sheepishness before he slyly winked at her.

Katie crossed her arms. "What if I hadn't agreed?"

James pulled her to him, crossed arms and all, "Would you have?" He shot her one of his toothy smiles.

"Dammit, James. You can't just flash those babies around. You know they're my kryptonite," Katie pouted, wrapping her arms around him, causing James to laugh.

"Now, can we open the champagne?" Carlos asked.

His best friends sighed and simultaneously shouted in exasperation and amusement, "Yes!"

Katie laughed and went to greet the new guests. She was glad to see all of her clients and business associates. Katie and James mingled with everyone from Mags to Gustavo and Kelly. James and Katie took time to congratulate Tony and Daniella on the success of the ads. Even Russell made a short appearance before heading off to another party he had to attend. His departure signalled the movement of the yacht.

Docked out in the ocean for a couple of hours, everyone in Katie's life was having a good time, celebrating a momentous occasion in her life.

James pulled her away and onto the bow of the yacht. He stood behind her, allowing her to lean back on him while James kept Katie wrapped in his arms as they watched the sunset.

"Well, future Mrs. Diamond, what do you think?"

Katie scrunched up her nose, "Hmm, I don't think that's going to happen. I mean, my company is called Knight Management, don't you think people would be confused if I changed my last name?" She giggled, and turned around, staying in his arms when she heard his silence. "I'm kidding! I'd be honoured to be Mrs. Diamond."

"Good," James said, before kissing her.

"But," Katie started as she pulled away. "I want a long engagement. I'd rather not have to deal with any bridal anxiety attacks from my mom, Cam, and Mags, and probably your mom, as well."

"Fine, but we have to do it before I'm thirty," James agreed.

Katie frowned, "You're twenty-nine, now."

"I know."

Katie rolled her eyes, "How about before I'm twenty-five?"

James pondered her answer for a while, before reluctantly agreeing. "Okay. But, you do realize that you're probably going to have to deal with anxiety attacks anyway, right?"

Kati sighed, before resting her head on his chest. "I know. Couldn't you have just let me pretend for a little while?"

James laughed, hugging her tighter to him, "Sorry." Katie listened to his pounding heart. "I love you, Katie."

Katie smiled warmly, wrapping her arms around the love of her life. "I love you, too."

In that moment, Katie was never happier taking advice from her older brother. She just had to give love a chance.
