So I know I haven't written in awhile. I have been really busy. But I wrote this long chapter for you guys and I already wrote the next one. So I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 18

Wade hadn't really been to his dad's lately but he needed to go there. He had something really important to do.

"Dad" Wade said

"Hey son" Earl said. He surprisingly wasn't completely drunk out of his mind.

"I need to ask you something" Wade said scratching the back of his neck. Wade always scratched his neck when he was nervous.

"Son, you can ask me anything" Earl said

"Can I have mom's engagement ring" Wade said

"Why would you need your mama's ring" Earl said

"Well I want to ask Zoe Hart to marry me someday" Wade said

"Pretty Lady" Earl said

"Yes" Wade said

Earl got up and went to a drawer. "I was hoping someday I could give you your mother ring." Earl said pulling the ring out and handing it to his son.

"Thanks Dad" Wade said

"Wade, I am proud of you. You do the Kinsella name right and Zoe is a lucky lady to have you. Your mama would have loved her and been so proud of you. One day you will be a great father unlike me" Earl said

After Wade got the ring the first thing he did was go to the grave yard. He stopped at his mom's grave.

"Hey mom, I miss you. I bet you already know this but I meet a girl. Her name is Zoe. I think she has come here to visit you once or twice when she came to visit Harley. She is great. She is a Doctor. She use to live in New York but she came here and she choose me, even though I was a screw up after you passed away. She is so pretty and smart. She is perfect. You would have loved her. Mom I got your engagement ring from Dad and I am going to ask her to marry him." Wade said standing up and putting flower's down next to her grave and walking over to Harley's grave.

"Hi Harley, I just wanted to stop by and say Thank You for everything you did for me after we found out about my mama. You were like a father to me after my dad became…. Well my dad. Your daughter Zoe is great. I bet she has told you about us on her visits so I will spare you all the details. I love her. She is the best thing to ever happen to me. I want to marry her someday. Your not here for me to ask for your permission but I hope if you were you would. So I just wanted to let you know before hand." Wade said and put some flowers down next to Harley's grave and headed back to his Camaro.

When he got back home Zoe wasn't there so he went back to the gatehouse to make some phone calls.

He grabbed his phone and dialed a phone number.

"Hello, Candice Hart how may I help you" Candice said

"Hi, Candice its Wade"

"Is everything alright" Candice asked

"Yes, everything is fine I just wanted to ask you something" Wade said

"Ask away" Candice said

"I want you permission to ask your daughter to marry me" Wade said

"Why" Candice said

"Why what" Wade said

"Do you want my permission" Candice said

"You are her mother. And yes she has her fights with you but she still loves you and I know that if you didn't want her to marry me she would highly consider it. And it was just how I was raised" Wade said

"Well you have my permission. But I swear to god if you hurt her in any way shape or form" Candice said

"I promise I will try my best to be the man she deserves" Wade said

"Goodbye Wade" Candice said

"Bye Candice" Wade said and hung up the phone. He had gotten her permission and he thought he wasn't going to. So he was proud that he won her over. Now he needed to go talk to Lavon so he got up and went to Lavon's.

"Lavon my main man" Wade said skipping into his house

"Somebody is happy today" Lavon said

"Yes things are finally looking up for me" Wade said

"Well that's good" Lavon said

"Do you have Ethan Harts number" Wade said

"No and why" Lavon said

"You can't tell Zoe" Wade said and pulled out the ring box and opened it.

"Wow Wade your going to propose" Lavon said

"Yeah and I told Harley and my mom, Earl of course I got the ring from him, I talked to Candice and got her permission and I just want her dad's permission or whatever he is" Wade said

"Do you even think Zoe wants her dad to know" Lavon said

"I don't know I just feel like he should know" Wade said

"You are a good guy Wade. Sorry but I don't have his number" Lavon said

"Thanks anyway" Wade said

This was turning out to be tougher than he thought it was going to be. He needed to go see a teenage girl who he knew would freak out. So he headed to Bluebell High.

Rose walked out of the school and saw Wade sitting on his Camaro.

"Wade what are you doing here" Rose said

"We need to talk" Wade said

"About" Rose asked

"I need you to do some digging" Wade said

"On" Rose asked again still a little confused

"On Zoe. Her dad does she still hate him. Anything you can get" Wade said

"Why the sudden interest" Rose asked

"Can you just do it" Wade asked pleading with the teen.

"No" Rose said

"Please, Rose can you just ask her" Wade said

"Oh my god Wade you are going to ask Zoe to marry you aren't you" Rose said

"Rose" Wade said

"Fine" Rose said "Take me to her office"

Wade and Zoe headed to Zoe's office. Rose got out and went inside. She knocked on the door to Zoe's office.

"Come in" Zoe said

Hey Zoe" Rose said

"Hi rose" Zoe said "What are you doing her"

"I just wanted to talk" Rose said

"Sure come sit down" Zoe said pointing to the chair in front of her desk.

Rose went and sat down. "How are you and Wade" Rose said

"We are good" Zoe said "How are you and Fredrick Dean"

"Good, Zoe I have a question" Rose said

"Sure ask away" Zoe said

"Do you hate your father, Ethan" Rose said

Zoe was shocked to say the least at that question. She was expecting Rose to ask about sex. "No I don't hate him" Zoe said

"Oh okay" Rose said

"Why do you want to know" Zoe said

"It's just that you never talk about him" Rose said

"Well we never really talk so there isn't much to talk about" Zoe said

"Okay" Rose said

"Rose I feel like there is something you are not telling me" Zoe said

"Nope nothing bye Zoe have a good day" Rose said and ran out the door

Rose went out and told Wade everything Zoe had said. Which didn't help his decision to call Ethan or not. So he went home and decided to take a break. He did enough for one day.

When Zoe got home Wade was sleeping so she decided to wake him up.

"Hey, Cowboy busy day" Zoe said

"Yeah" Wade said groggy

"Did you call the insurance company" Zoe asked

"Dammit I knew I was forgetting something" Wade said

"Did some errands, made a few calls, saw my Dad" Wade said

"And how did that go" Zoe said

"It went surprisingly well" Wade said "How was the practice"

"It was good. Rose came to see me" Zoe said

"What did your little mini me want" Wade said

Zoe gave him a little slap on the shoulder. "I am not really sure. It was weird, she asked about my dad."

"Ethan" Wade asked with a questioning look trying not to give anything away

"Yeah, then it got me thinking that if we have a kid. Wade I don't care if you hate me you better not abandon our kid or so help me god I will track you down and cut of your" Zoe said before Wade cut her off.

"Woah there Doc calm down no need to do that because I don't plan on leaving you or our unborn child" Wade said

"Good" Zoe said giving him a kiss

"Zoe, this has been eating at me for awhile and its killing me inside" Wade said

"What is it" Zoe asked a little scared at what he was going to say

"Can you really see yourself marrying an unemployed bartender, from the south, living in Bluebell, Alabama and not in New York City, and not being a surgeon" Wade said

"Yes, I wouldn't want to have it any other way and maybe I want to do some surgery's I can go to Mobile. But I like being a GP, coming home to you and one day or little children" Zoe said giving him a kiss.
