For Holly :)

"David... I... This is..." Tears were steadily streaming down her face and she could barely form words. She had been so shocked and so stunned about the proposal.

David smiled and reached out to hold her hand. He gave a gentle squeeze. "You don't have to answer right now... if you don't want. I'll understand."

"Yes," she said still shocked.

"What?"

"Yes," she nodded, "Yes! I'll marry you."

Both of them were crying now and David got up off his knee to place the diamond ring on Olivia's finger. She didn't even take the time to admire it before she threw herself into David's arms. "This is the best birthday present ever," she whispered.

They held each other tightly as the waves crashed ever so gently against the shore and the birds slowly quieted as they began to fall asleep along with the day. It was coming to a near end and Olivia was sad it was almost over.

They finally pulled out of their embrace and Olivia felt suddenly chilled, "It's getting kind of chilly."

"Let's head back," he said picking up the picnic blanket and stuffing it into the picnic basket.

"I had a really, really great time today," she said once they were back in the warmth of the house, "It was the best birthday I've ever had. The best day... I've ever had."

"I'm glad," he smiled sitting the basket down on the breakfast bar, "I really am."

She smiled up at him and her brown eyes just sparkled, "It isn't over yet," she said to him. She had a mischievous look on her face and David wasn't sure what she was hinting at.

"Is there something else you want to do?" he asked, completely clueless.

She began unbuttoning her shirt and that's when David finally got the picture.

"Oh! Oh- uh..." he cleared his throat as he tried to maintain his excitement but when Olivia dropped her shirt to the floor, he couldn't control it.

"Looks like you want to do something else too," she teased. She then headed toward the bedroom where she started unbuttoning her pants and sliding them down her hips. David just watched, unable to move.

"Are you coming?" she asked in an innocent voice as she climbed under the covers.

David just nodded. He made his way into the bedroom and shut the door behind him, taking off his clothes and joining Olivia under the covers.

David started tracing his fingers gently down her sides causing tingles to shoot up her body. She felt like she was on fire and she wanted nothing more than to make love to David right now.

"No teasing," she whispered.

"Just wait," he whispered back before his lips slammed onto hers. It was a kiss so passionate that Olivia swore she felt sparks fly.

Then David began leaving a trail of kisses down her stomach, slowly making his way there. He wanted her to enjoy it. This was their first time and it was going to be special.

"Come on!" she begged.

David chuckled and finally he gave in and let her have what she so desperately wanted.

"I can't believe we are engaged," Olivia said as she rolled over closer to him and rested her head against his chest.

David smiled, "I wanted to propose a long time ago but... I was scared you would say no."

"Why?" she asked a bit shocked, "I love you."

He shrugged, "I don't know..."

She sighed a little and then closed her eyes as her body was suddenly overcome with tiredness. It was just a little passed eleven though and she didn't want to go to sleep yet. She wouldn't to talk to a bit longer.

"Do you want kids?" she asked, desperately hoping he would say yes.

"Mhm," he replied, "I love kids."
She smiled at this and then went on to say, "I want kids. Three."

David chuckled, "Three? I'm guessing you already have names picked out and everything..."

"How did you know?" she laughed.

"You really have names picked out...?"
"No," she said laughing some more, "But would it be so wrong if I did?"

"No," he whispered closing his eyes now too, "I actually have a name picked out for a little girl..."

"What is it?"

"Avery," he answered, "I've always liked that name."

"Really? I pegged you for the old fashion name type."

He chuckled, "Not in the slightest."

Olivia yawned against his chest as she grew more tired with the ticking clock. Her birthday was almost over but she didn't want it to end. It had been the best day she had had in a long time and now there was only an hour left. She was determined to make the best of it.

"I hope we can have more days like this," she whispered pulling the blanket up higher under her chin, "I don't think I have smiled this much my whole life."

"We will," he whispered kissing her on the temple, "Everyday will be like this. Want to know why? Because you deserve it. If anyone deserves it, it's you and I am so lucky that you are choosing to spend the rest of your life with me."

She smiled against his chest. She didn't know when but she was completely and utterly in love with David Alexander Haden.

"I'm lucky you're letting me," she teased.

It was midnight now and David kissed her one more time before they both fell asleep entangled in each others arms.
