Michael: Crazy how Eve is younger than you.

Me: Comparing to the Underworld story I have on YouTube I see.

Michael: Yep.


Michael left the room taking Eve with him. When he got downstairs, he showed everyone the new arrival. "Princess Eve Alexandra Corvin." He announced. Everyone clapped.

"To Eve!" They all shouted in unison.


A week later, It was our graduation. On my turn to get my diploma, I stood up and everyone clapped for me. I even heard Eve clap and giggle. This was due to my enhanced hearing. When everything was over, Nick and I met my parents at the front door. "Good job, Liz! I'm so proud of you!" Mom said hugging me.

Eve giggled and I kissed her cheek. "Thank you, Eve. I heard you too."

"Great job, Princess." Dad said and hugged me.

"Thanks, Daddy." I replied and pulled away.

"Why don't we go to the park to celebrate?" Mom asked.

"Sounds fun." I replied happily.

"Ok. Lets go. Nick, you can come too if you'd like."

"Sure." He said taking my hand.

We followed my parents to the park and Nick pushed me on the swing. "This is so fun!" I said excited.

Nick laughed. "Yeah." He said and started to swing beside me.

I stopped and bent over to kiss him. He kissed me back and Mom looked over to see. I pulled away blushing that she saw us and she just smiled. I got up and walked over to the bench she was sitting on. "Spying on me?" I asked teasingly.

"No. Just keeping an eye out. He seems to be good for you. I like him."

"Really?!" I asked smiling.

"Yes. I think you should turn him if you're willing to take the next step."

"He said he loves me and I can tell it's the truth."

"Good. I'm glad to hear it."

"I love him too."

"Are you IN love with him?"

"Yes. I think he's the one, Mom."

"Well, good. Does he know about us?"

"Yes. I explained it to him two months ago. He's not scared or worried."

"Good. Sounds like he's willing to stay."

Nick came up with Dad. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything."

"No. We're finished." Mom said.

Dad sat down on the other side of her. "Go ahead and ask her, Nick."

He nodded and took a small box out of his pocket getting down on one knee in front of me. "Elizabeth Taylor Corvin, I love you with all my heart and I'm in love with you. You make me smile and laugh. And you make me feel like no other woman can. I want to make you happy and protect you. I want to spend eternity with you and love you with all my being. Will you marry me?"

I gasped crying happy tears and nodded. "Yes. Yes, I will marry you."

He stood up putting the ring on my finger and then he kissed me passionately. I kissed back and pulled away wiping my tears. "Congratulations, Princess." Dad said.

"Thanks, Daddy."

Mom smiled and Eve giggled. I giggled and took her from Mom kissing her cheek. Eve hugged me and I smiled. I handed her back to Mom and then we went home.
