Ricky's POV
She walked out wearing that purple dress, my jaw dropped. She looked amazing, she looked beautiful. She spun around showing me and asking my opinion.
"Wear it tonight. It looks great." I said.
"Alright I will." She said
I got changed and we drove to a restaurant. The restaurant was near a lake. So we got an outside table, it was a nice warm night. The moon was out; the reflection of the moon was shining on the lake. We ordered our food and talked.
"So you like the house?" I asked.
"I love it Ricky, I really do. Thank you." She said.
"I love you Amy." I told her.
"I love you too." She said.
Our meal came and we ate, I smiled at her. I was nervous, way too nervous. Once we finished eating we ordered desert. She looked beautiful, I loved her so much. I walked over to her side; I got down on one knee and took her hand.
"Amy, I love you so much. We've been together for a while and I know how I feel about you. We've had our ups and downs, but we've been there for each other and we've gotten through every obstacle. I love you Amy, we have a wonderful son and a beautiful house. Amy if you will be my wife I will be the luckiest man on the planet. Amy Jeurgens, I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" I asked her.
Tears came to her eyes, she smiled.
"Ricky I love you too, I'd be the luckiest girl to have you has a husband I love you!" She said and hugged me. She sat back down and I slid the ring onto her finger. She smiled as she saw the ring. It was a beautiful gold ring and there was a diamond in the center, it was shaped like a heart she smiled as she admired it.
I held her hand across the table and smiled a wave of relief washed over me as she held my hand and smiled back. We were going to be husband and wife.
After an hour we drove back home and sat in the kitchen. It was ten o'clock but who cared? We were going to get married soon.
"So do we want a fall wedding?" She asked me.
"I think so; it'd be very pretty, leaves changing colors. It wouldn't be too hot either." I said.
"So fall it is!" She said excitedly
"Okay now who would we like to invite on your side?" She asked.
"Margaret, my foster father, my cousin Frankie, my cousin Lillian…" I said and listed a bunch of my relatives. After a while I stopped.
"Okay my side…" She said. "My mom, dad, Ashley, Mimzy…."
She went on and on and I kept writing names down.
"Now for our friends." I said. "Jack and Grace obviously. Henry and Alice? Lauren and Madison" I asked.
"Yeah." She said smiling. "Oh Donovan and Leon!"
"Oh the almost adopted parents of John." I said remembering them.
"Okay Mr. Molena?" I said laughing
"Sure him and his wife." She said.
"Mr. and Mrs. Bowman. Mr. Pappas…" We went on and on.
After creating or extremely long list I remembered something.
"As much as I hate to bring this up, we need to decide this now… at three in the morning." He said laughing.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Adrienne and Ben." I said nervously.
"Oh." She said quietly.
"We don't have to. Remember that Amy we can say no." Ricky said.
"Um…" She said thinking.
"Personally I don't think we should, this is our wedding day. We can't take any chances of them ruining it." He said.
"I agree." She said with relief.
"Alright now that we've got that done, let's go to bed I'm exhausted." I told her.
"Alright." She said.
We got up and walked up the stairs together. John was sound asleep in his nursery. We walked past it and went into our room. We got into bed and laid there. I kissed him and smiled.
"I love you." I said.
"I love you too Ames." He said.
I was woken up by John's wails about thirty minutes later. Amy started to get up,
"I got him don't worry." I said.
"Alright." She said and went back to sleep.
I walked down the hall into his room, when he saw me he stopped crying. I picked him up and rocked him.
"Its okay daddy's here." I said.
I changed his diaper and rocked him again hoping that he'd fall asleep. About ten minutes later he finally fell asleep. I went back to bed and fell asleep next to my soon-to-be bride.
