Chapter Seven

Phil and Kimi ran around the apartment getting everything straightened up. Tommy and Lil were returning home from their honeymoon today, and they wanted everything to be perfect for the two of them. One, because Kimi had been staying there, and two, during the week that they were gone Phil and Kimi were in charge of Chelsea. While under their watch, they took her to the park a few time during the week and she was playing on the jungle gym. Her foot slipped, causing her to fall. She ended up breaking her arm. Phil and Kimi just hoped more than anything that they wouldn't be too mad about it.

They were sitting in the living room watching the TV when the door opened and in walked Tommy and Lil. Phil smiled and jumped off the couch and ran over to his sister and pulled her into a hug "I missed you so much, Lillian!"

Lil laughed and rolled her eyes "I missed you too! And Kimi, and Chelsea."

Kimi looked over at Tommy and smiled "So, did she like where the honeymoon was?"

Tommy smiled and nodded before sitting on the couch "She loved it."

Phil looked at them before turning to Lil "Where did you go? No one would tell me!"

"The Caribbean" Lil smiled falling onto the couch next to Tommy. She looked around "Where's Chelsea?"

Phil and Kimi looked at each other before turning back to Tommy and Lil "She's in her room. But before you see her, she had a little... Accident at the park the other day." Kimi said nervously.

Lil leaned forward and looked between them "What kind of accident?"

Tommy raised and eyebrow "How bad is it?"

"Well, she was playing on the jungle gym, and she slipped and fell. She ended breaking her arm" Phil said not wanting to look at them.

Lil and Tommy jumped off the couch and ran towards Chelsea's room. Lil opened the door and Chelsea was sitting in her floor playing with a doll. She turned and got up running over to her parents "Mommy! Daddy!"

Lil picked her up and hugged her before handing her to Tommy and walking out of her room and back to the living room. Phil wanted to keep his distance from Lil in case she was mad about what happened. "Lillian, are you mad?"

Lil shrugged and sat back down as Tommy came walking out with Chelsea "Shit happens. It could have happened under mine or Tommy's watch." she looked over at Chelsea, who was sitting in Tommy's lap with a pink cast on her arm.

Tommy looked over at Lil "I'm really tired, so I'm going to go take a nap."

Lil smiled and turned so she could look at him "I'll join you. It'll be nice to be back in our own beds." she got up and grabbed her suitcase, that Tommy had set in the living room, and walked to her room. Tommy set Chelsea on the ground and walked towards the room giving a wave to Phil and Kimi.

Tommy woke up in the middle of the night. He had forgotten that him and Lil had come home from their honeymoon. He smiled to himself before getting out of bed, doing his best not to wake Lil up. He walked out to the kitchen and made himself something to drink. He was about to walk back into his room when he saw Phil sitting on the couch watching TV. He went to sit next to him "What are you still doing up?"

"I was thinking of maybe, possibly, proposing to Kimi."

Tommy took a sip of his drink "Really?"

"Yeah, but then I got to thinking, how did you propose to Lil?" he looked over at Tommy.

Tommy raised an eyebrow before laughing "You helped with it. You should remember."

"I should, but this is me we're talking about." he shrugged.

"Okay... It was senior year." Tommy started...

It was their High School graduation, one of the biggest moments of their life. Lil was the valedictorian and she was pacing around her living room a few hours before graduation. Tommy, who was her boyfriend at the time, was sitting on the couch watching her with their daughter, Chelsea.

"What if I mess up? Everyone will laugh! They'll never let me live it down!" Tommy laughed and rolled his eyes. She was really freaking out over this.

He stood up and walked over to her, putting his arms around her waist "Baby, you'll be fine. I promise. Just look for me while you're up there."

"That could work." she smiled and put her arms around his neck, pulling him into a kiss.

Phil walked down the stairs and saw the two kissing. He made a disgusted face and then looked at Chelsea. He walked smiled and walked over to her and leaned over the couch and whispered something in her ear. Chelsea covered her eyes "Ewie!"

Tommy and Lil pulled apart looking over at her. "As much as I like you two together, I still don't like seeing you kiss." Phil said, leaning on the back of the couch.

Lil rolled her eyes and picked her speech up "Both of you, sit down! You have to listen to my speech and help me with things!"

Phil groaned and walked around to sit down. Tommy laughed and sat on the other side of Chelsea. Tommy had already heard her speech a million times, he even helped her write it. Lil packed back-and-forth again while she was reading. When she was done she looked up at Tommy and Phil with hope in her eyes.

"It's good, Lillian. Now stop reading that thing and save your voice for the actual graduation." Phil said standing up and looked at his watch "You should probably get ready."

Lil looked at the time and her eyes widened "I do need to! We have to be at the school soon!" she picked Chelsea up and went downstairs so she could get ready.

Tommy and Phil were already changed. The boys had to wear black pants and any white shirt. The girls had to wear any light-colored dress. Phil turned around to make sure Lil wasn't upstairs anymore before turning to Tommy "Are you still doing it tonight?"

Tommy nodded and smiled. He pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Phil. He looked at it and smiled before handing it back to Tommy "It's happening at the Graduation party your mom is throwing us."

"What's happening then?" Lil asked walking back up the stairs with Chelsea.

Tommy and Phil both turned around to look at her "Nothing" they said in unison.

Lil looked at them. She knew they were up to something. She walked around and sat next to Tommy "Are you two ready to graduate?"

"Yes! I can't wait to get out of the hell hole!" Phil smiled.

Lil shot him a look "Language around Chelsea, Phillip."

Tommy laughed and put an arm around Lil "I'm ready to see you nail that speech."

Lil smiled at him and then looked over at Phil "Is Kimi coming over?"

Phil shook his head "She's spending time with Chuck."

"How about Angelica, is she coming?" Lil asked Tommy.

"Yep, and she's bringing Susie."

Lil squealed. Besides Kimi, Susie was her best friend. She hasn't seen her since she left for college.

"I have good news!" Phil said with a smile.

"What?" Tommy and Lil asked.

"I got into a good college."

"Where?" Lil said with a smile. She always did worry about her brother not getting into college.

"University of California."

Lil sighed. That was where she wanted to go to college, but she didn't want to leave Chelsea alone with someone. She decided on online college instead of leaving to go to school. She wasn't sure on what Tommy's plans were thought. "I'm proud of you, Phillip!"

"Thank you" Phil said, obviously proud of himself.

"Alright, pups! Picture time!" Betty said walking into the living room.

Phil and Lil groaned as they stood up, Lil handing Chelsea to Tommy. Phil put an arm around Lil and she put an arm around his waist and smile. Lil pulled Tommy off the couch, forcing him to be in the pictures. He stood behind her with his arms around her waist. Phil was now holding Chelsea.

Lil looked at the time and took Chelsea from Phil and putting her on the couch. "We have to go!" Lil kissed her moms cheek, and grabbed her cap and gown. Tommy followed her out the door and to his car.

"Am I taking Phil, too?"

Lil shrugged. "I thought you were." she leaned over to the drivers side and put her hand on the horn. Phil came walking outside already wearing his cap and gown.

"Sorry" he jumped into the backseat and Tommy started driving towards the school.

Lil was walking up to the stage to give her valedictorian speech. She took a deep breath and her landed on Tommy, who was giving her a smile. She read the speech and then sat down, proud of herself for not messing up. The principle, Principle Pangborn, went up there and started reading the names of the honor students. Lil, Kimi and Tommy being part of it and Phil being called last of the group.

Once done, Lil ran over to Tommy and threw her arms around his neck. He picked her up and gave her a kiss before they went over to Kimi and Phil.

Kimi squealed and pulled them both into a hug "We did it, guys!"

Their families made their way onto the field and met up with them. Pictures were being taken, congratulations were being said, and tears were being shed by the parents. Dil ran up to Tommy "Congratulations, T!"

"Thanks, D!" Stu and Didi pulled him into a hug.

"We're so proud of you, Tommy!" Didi said wiping away tears.

"Come on, Deed. The DeVille's are waiting for us." Stu smiled at Tommy before they walked off with Dil.

"Are you getting cold feet yet?" Phil asked walking over to Tommy. He was looking over at Lil. She was smiling and laughing with Kimi, Susie and Angelica.

"Me? Get nervous about something? No way." he said with a smile.

Chuckie came walking over to them "What's being talked about?"

"I was just about to talk Tommy out proposing to my sister." he smiled and looked at Tommy. He knew that the two of them were good for each other.

"You're proposing to her?!" Chuckie practically yelled.

"Shut up, Chuck! No one else knows!" Tommy said throwing a hand over Chuckie's mouth.

Lil came walking over with Kimi "Mom already took Chelsea home. Are you ready to go?"

Tommy took his hand off Chuckie's mouth and wiped it on his pants "I am." he turned to Kimi and Chuckie "I'll be seeing you guys at the party." he took Lil's hand and they started walking towards his car.

Their graduation party had been going on for a few hours now. Tommy was starting to get nervous. Lil had been talking to one of her cousins when she him standing alone. Phil looked over at them and he could tell that Tommy was getting ready to do it. He ran over to Tommy before Lil got there "Gonna do it now?"

Tommy nodded "Are you sure she'll say yes?"

"I'm positive, T." Phil went back over to Kimi.

"What was that about?" Kimi asked.

"You'll find out in a second." Phil said with a smile while watching Tommy and Lil.

Tommy took Lil's hand and led her to the center of the yard "Tommy, what is it?" she asked with a smile.

He cleared his throat and looked around "I have an announcement" he said loud enough so everyone could hear and was now looking at them.

Lil raised an eyebrow "What are you doing?"

"Lillian Marie Jill DeVille, I love you. I've loved you since that fifth grade Valentines dance when Phil asked me to dance with you. Six years we've been together, and I want to spend more with you. I... I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Tommy took a deep breath and got down on one knee and pulled the ring out of his pocket. Lil put a hand over her mouth and tears started to form "Will you marry me?"

Kimi grabbed Phil's arm. She also had her hand over her mouth, more surprised than anything. Betty was holding her hand to her chest and Didi was in tears.

Lil nodded her head "Yes. Yes I will marry you"

Tommy stood up and put the ring on her finger before pulling her into a kiss. At this point, she had tears running down her face from being so happy.

Kimi ran up to Lil, pushing Tommy out of her way "I'm so happy for you!" she hugged her and then grabbed her hand to look at the ring. She turned to Tommy and hit his arm "Why didn't you tell me you were planning this?!"

"You wouldn't have been able to keep it from her. Phil's really the only one that knew." Tommy shrugged.

Lil walked over to Tommy and hugged him "You just made me the happiest girl ever."

Tommy smiled thinking back to the memory of the night. Phil looked over at him "I forgot that's how it went. You should help me plan a surprise proposal for Kimi!"

Tommy laughed and shook his head standing back up "That's a job for Lil, not me."
