I own neither Naruto nor Watchmen.

Sally's face is pale and worried. She's got two fistfuls of her yellow dress bunched up in her hands.
"What's wrong babe?"
"Eddie. Eddie, I'm pregnant." For a second he's worried that it's not his, but she takes his burly hand in her strong but sweet one and all doubt flees as she places their hands on her belly.
"Well, hell." He says, searching for words. Sally flinches, her hand tightening.
"I know we didn't – never talked and – I don't... It doesn't have to-" She fumbles, eyes reddening and pretty face paling even further.
He's uncomfortably aware of the tiny box in his pocket. It's been there for weeks. Eddie's just been looking and waiting for the right time to do it. He's never been a romantic kind of guy, but he thought he'd recognize when it would be best to ask. Thought she'd say yes, anyway, or say N-O but mean N-O-T Y-E-T. He figures if he doesn't do it now, she'll think he only wants her for their mutual mistake.
So to hell with it.
He pulls it out and opens it.
"Now's as good a time as any. Marry me?"
