Jake held his breath and it seemed like it took McKenzie forgot to give him an answer.
"Yes." She smiled. "I'll marry you, Jacob."
He exhaled loudly and inhaled a couple more times. He was light-headed and dizzy. He got the ring out of its box and slipped it on McKenzie's finger. He stood up and grabbed her into his arms.
"It's beautiful, Jake." She said looking at the ring.
She kissed him passionately and they sat down at the edge of the pier with their legs dangling over.
"You looked like you were going to pass out." Mac giggled.
"I almost thought I was." Jake chuckled looking at his fiancée.
She giggled and took a sip of her champagne.
"Now I know why you wanted to come up here so bad."
"That was a major part of it." He told her. "I also wanted to propose here by the lake is because we had our first weekend together."
"We've had a lot of good times here." She said with a smile. "Our first weekend together alone, we came here. The next time we came here, I got pregnant. Now we came to the lake again and you proposed."
"Yeah." He smiled remembering everything. "Now while I'm gone, you can start planning the wedding. I figured we could get married when I come back from fishing."
"You want me to plan this wedding by myself?" She asked. "Jacob Charles Harris, you're not getting off that easy."
He smiled and kissed her temple.
"I knew you were going to say that." He admitted. "C'mon future Mrs. Jake Harris, let's go share the big news to our daughter and my mom."
They walked inside and seen Mary and Aubree in the kitchen.
"She wanted some juice and her mommy and daddy."
"Come here Peanut." Jake said scooping his daughter up in his arms.
Mary came up to her future daughter in law and wrapped her arms around the younger woman.
"You were always part of the family but now it's gonna be official." Mary smiled and whispered. "Thank you."
McKenzie knew what she meant and nodded her head. Mary was thanking her for coming back and making Jake and his family whole again.
"Congratulations, son." Mary said hugging her son. "I can't wait to make phone calls tomorrow."
They laughed.
"Alright, I'll leave you all." Mary said with a yawn. "I'll see you in the morning."
"Night."
"Night baby." Mary said kissing her granddaughter.
"Daddy, cartoons." Aubree told her daddy.
"Ok, we'll go watch cartoons and go to bed." Jake said handing his daughter her sippy cup. "Come on Momma."
McKenzie smiled and followed her daughter and fiancé to their room. Jake put in one of the Disney princess movies for his daughter and they all climbed into bed. They all fell asleep half way through the movie.
The next morning, they were awaken by Aubree jumping on the bed.
"Up Mommy…up Daddy." She told them.
"Ok." Jake chuckled.
McKenzie put the pillow on top of her head.
"C'mon…let's go get you some breakfast and let mommy sleep."
"Ok." The little girl said satisfied.
"Well not sleeping you got from your grandpa Phil." Jake smiled at her.
He put some cartoons on while he made his daughter some eggs and toast. He made a cup of coffee and his mom walked into the kitchen.
"It's still funny to see you up and making breakfast for a toddler."
Jake smiled.
She made herself a cup of coffee.
"Where's Mac?"
"I'm letting her sleep in." Jake said. "In a few weeks, she won't have that luxury since she'll have a toddler by herself."
"I'll be there to help as much as possible."
"I know you will, mom."
He put Aubree in her booster seat and the plate of eggs and pieces of toast.
"Are you excited to go back fishing?"
Jake looked at his mother surprised. She never talked to him about his job.
"I'm hope I have a job when I get there if that's what you mean." Jake said. "I'm gonna talk to Sig when we get back and John's letting Josh work on his. I miss the CM and I'm gonna miss working with Josh, as much as I hate saying that."
Mary nodded her head. She knew her sons were going to miss each other whether they had a hard time saying it or not.
"Joshua will miss you too."
Jake just nodded.
"What is Mac gonna do?" Mary asked.
"She's going to put in her résumé at the hospitals."
"Well Missy called me last night." Mary told her son. "Her & Jim's moving back to Seattle by Christmas."
"Does Mac know?"
"Not yet." Mary said. "She said she would wait for Mac's call."
"Did you tell her about my proposal?"
"Nope." Mary smiled pleased with herself. "It was hard not to but I wanted her to hear it from her daughter."
McKenzie woke up to her cellphone ringing and grabbed it off of the nightstand and seen her mom's number.
A/N: I know this chapter wasn't very long or exciting. Next chapter will be up in a few days most likely. Who would like to maybe see Zach make a comeback?
