Big Decisions
Disclaimer: I do not own Johnny Test
The second chapter I will post today. Light and fluffy, which is always a precursor to something drastic...I've said too much. Anyway, enjoy!
1 week later
Johnny lay in his room on his bed unable to sleep.
"Ok, what's with the lack of sleep?" Dukey asked.
"I have a lot on my mind." Johnny admitted after a moment of silence.
"As in?" Dukey questioned.
"Well what do you think?" Johnny replied sarcastically.
"Sissy and the babies?" Dukey asked.
"Yeah." Johnny replied.
"Well, what about them?" Dukey asked, not fully understanding what was wrong.
"I love her and I want to be there for her and the babies, but I don't want people thinking that I'm just doing it because she's pregnant with my kids." Johnny sighed.
"And since when have you cared what people thought?" Dukey asked.
"I don't know. I just don't want Sissy to get criticized as trapping me into marriage. That's not how it is." Johnny said.
"When did I ever mention marriage lover boy." Dukey chuckled as Johnny flushed.
"Shut up." Johnny growled.
"Sorry. Look, if you care about her then take the next step." Dukey said.
"I don't know how." Johnny said.
"Ask your sisters and your brothers-in-law. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out." Dukey said.
"Ok. Thanks Dukey." Johnny said before rolling over and going to sleep.
The next day, Saturday
Johnny drove over to Susan and Mary's place. They didn't live in the same home, just in a duplex. He had called and warned them earlier so they had the door open and were waiting when he pulled up.
"So where's the baby mama?" Mary asked curiously.
"She's at her house either doing homework or taking her afternoon nap." Johnny replied.
"So what is it you need to talk to us about?" Susan asked.
"I don't know where to go from here." Johnny said as he sat on the couch.
"In yours and Sissy's relationship?" Mary asked.
"Yeah." Johnny said.
"Do you care about her?" Susan asked.
"Is that a trick question?" Johnny asked sarcastically.
"Do you honestly see yourself with anyone else in the future?" Mary asked.
"No." Johnny replied.
"Would you honestly want to be with anyone else?" Susan asked.
"No." Johnny said.
"Do you always want to be with her?" Mary asked.
"Yes." Johnny replied.
"Can you financially support her and your two children?" Susan asked.
"Yeah." Johnny chuckled.
"Ok, so marry her." Mary said with an eye roll.
"I knew you would say that." Johnny replied.
"So why bother talking to us when you knew what we were going to say?" Susan asked confused.
"Verification. I do listen to you guys, though you may not always believe me, still, I do." Johnny chuckled.
"Good to know. So, have you bought a ring yet?" Mary asked.
"No, but I'm going to now. Thanks guys." Johnny chuckled as he got up and left the duplex and towards the jewelry store.
2 hours later
As Johnny drove to the Blakely home he saw Sissy get into the car with her friends, Beth was driving.
"I don't think I could have planned that better." Johnny chuckled to himself as they drove away. He pulled up and parked. He sat in his car for a moment, taking a deep breath. This was huge for him and he knew it was; his nerves were finally catching up to him.
"It's now or never." Johnny said as he got out of his car and walked up to the home. He knocked on the door and waited for what seemed like an eternity. Finally someone answered; it was Jason, Sissy's father, just the person Johnny wanted to talk to.
"Afternoon Johnny. You just missed Sissy; she went out with her friends just a few moments ago." Jason said smiling.
"I saw them leave as I pulled up. I actually wanted to talk to you sir." Johnny said.
"Oh, alright, come on in then." Jason said confusion in his tone as they walked into the living room.
"Mister Blakely, as you know, your daughter is pregnant with my twins." Johnny said in a serious tone catching Jason's attention instantly.
"Yes, I am aware of such an obvious fact." Jason said with a hint of humor in his tone.
"But I want to verify with you that I do care and love your daughter." Johnny said.
"That is good to hear; again I could tell and was confident in the fact." Jason said with a smile.
"What I'm trying to say, or ask in this case is, can I marry your daughter?" Johnny finally spat out.
"You have my blessing Johnny." Jason said smiling.
"Thank you." Johnny said happily.
"So, when are you going to ask her and do you have a ring?" Jason asked leaning back into the chair.
"Tonight and yes I do have a ring." Johnny said as he stood and left with a smile on his face.
Later that night
I wonder what Johnny wants, he sounded urgent. Sissy thought as she waited for Johnny to come pick her up. Johnny pulled up in his car, anticipation and anxiety flowing through him as Sissy walked over and got inside the car.
"So what's the rush?" Sissy asked as she closed the door.
"It's a surprise." Johnny chuckled. They drove a distance, talking a little here or there. Sissy couldn't shake the feeling that this was important to Johnny and desperately wanted to know. Just as her patience was wearing thin the car stopped and there they were, parked on an overlook of the city, the sky was lavender and pink and orange with the sunset. They got out of the car and Sissy looked over the scene, Johnny next to her.
"It's so calm up here and pretty." Sissy said with a sigh.
"Yeah, that was the main reason I wanted to come here for this." Johnny said, his hands going into his pockets and retrieving the box.
"For what?" Sissy asked before she turned and saw Johnny on one knee. It all hit her.
"Sissy, I love you, now more than I ever have and not just because you are carrying our children but because you are the most beautiful and wonderful woman I could ever hope for. Will you do me the great honor of becoming my wife?" Johnny asked as he opened the box to reveal the beautiful ring, three diamonds were in it, one large one in the middle and two small ones on opposing sides.
"Yes, oh my god, yes I will marry you Johnny!" Sissy said, tears welling her eyes as Johnny stood smiling and gently removed the promise ring and put on the engagement ring. Sissy hugged Johnny as tightly as she could after he slipped on the ring.
"I love you." Sissy said smiling.
"I love you too Sissy." Johnny replied as he pulled her closer, a smile on his face.
