A/N: I'm trying to update and finish this story as soon as possible. Sorry I haven't been updating but between a full-time job and being a full-time student, it's really hard.

McKenzie was so excited that her mom was moving back to Seattle. Her mom was also excited that she would be there to help her daughter plan a wedding. She would be moving back before Christmas and McKenzie couldn't wait.

Jake and McKenzie had come back from their trip and was exhausted when they got home around 11 p.m. They listened to their daughter pitch a fit because she didn't want to leave because she wanted to swim.

"I'll have to buy her a pool." Jake said plopping down in bed.

Aubree cried half way home and had cried herself to sleep.

"Are you going to be out there all day with her?" Mac asked with a giggle.

"We should go see Grandpa Grant in a few days and take her out on the boat." He said. "So she can swim and fish."

"You're really trying to make her a Harris, aren't you?"

"She is a Harris."

McKenzie rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to Sig's tomorrow to ask about a job for this season."

"He'll help you out." Mac told him. "He promised Phil. When he sees that you can pass a drug test, he'll give you a job."

"Hopefully we can buy back the CM." He said. "I want to be up in the wheelhouse and not on deck on another boat."

"Just keep your head on straight. Keep looking ahead." McKenzie said snuggling up to him. "You and Josh can do just that. It's going to be hard until then but I have faith in both of you. You will get the boat back."

Jake smiled, kissed her lips and turned off the light.

"I love you, Mac."

"I love you too, Jakers."

Jake slept in and went to get a shower. He was under the warm water when he heard the shower door open.

"Mac, you scared the shit out of me." Jake said. "Where's Bree?"

"Taking a nap." McKenzie said. "I figured we could use a little us time."

Jake smiled and pulled her to him.

"I love us time." He said kissing her head.

An hour later,

He was dressed to head to Sig's and McKenzie was dressed and had their daughter dressed to take her out to lunch with Mac's friends.

"Good luck." McKenzie said kissing Jake when they were standing by his car. "I'll see you later."

"Alright. Be careful." Jake told her and kissed his daughter. "Bye Peanut."

McKenzie smiled. Jake was always coming up with nicknames for his daughter. One week she was angel, the next week she would be pee wee and this week she was peanut.

She met up with her best friends, Amber and Chelsea at the restaurant.

"OMG, I can't believe you and Jake are engaged." Amber said admiring the ring.

"I hate you." Chelsea joked. "I've been dating your brother for 6 years and he hasn't proposed to me yet. I'm beginning to think he never will."

"He will, Chel." Mac told her. "You've got to let Matt make his own decisions on his own time. He's always been slow like that. If he didn't love you, you two wouldn't still be together. I guess he's just waiting on the right time."

"Maybe now he'll take a step closer in that direction." Chelsea said. "Since he sees his younger sister is one step closer to the aisle."

"I don't know why you want to get married so badly." Amber told Chelsea. "Enjoy being off the market. Have as much fun as you can before you become Susie Homemaker."

Chelsea rolled her eyes and McKenzie giggled.

"Well I have a lot on my plate now." McKenzie said. "Between moving all my things to Jake's, looking for a job, taking care of a toddler, worrying about dad's health, and planning a wedding…I'm already stressed."

"Well now you're not thousands of miles away. You have a support system here to help you." Amber said. "More in a few months when your mom moves back."

"Speaking of my mom, her and Mary have talked every day since the proposal." Mac told her friends. "They're already planning and we haven't even set a date."

"Matt told me that Jake wants to get married when he comes back from the trip."

"He does." Mac told her friends. "So it will be a spring or summer wedding."

"It's shocking but then again it's not." Amber said. "I knew if you came back here that you and Jake would get back together, I just didn't know you two would be engaged before autumn."

McKenzie gave her daughter a bite of her macaroni & cheese.

"I know it's soon but it just feels right." McKenzie said. "I know I fought myself with coming back here but it's just because I was scared of seeing him again. I was scared of falling hard for him again. I tried running from my feelings but ever since Jacob Harris has came into my life, I haven't been able to get him out of it."

"Funny how things work out." Chelsea said. "I haven't seen your dad this happy in a while either. He was so excited when you and Bree were coming to visit and him to take it so far as to help get you and Jake back together."

"Yeah, I owe my dad a huge thanks, even though I was so pissed at him." Mac said with a smile. "They even named it Operation Get My Family Back."

Her friends shared a good laugh and they laughed harder when Aubree started to laugh.

"Jake's leaving at the end of the week and I have a feeling this one is gonna throw a tantrum." McKenzie said nodding toward her daughter. "She's not going to understand."

"Jake's going to take it harder." Amber joked.

McKenzie was dreading the end of the week. She was going to miss him and not to mention how much she was going to worry about him and Josh.

4 DAYS LATER

McKenzie was at the airport saying bye to her fiancé. They had dropped Aubree off at her brother and Chelsea's the night before. Tears fell from her eyes. Jake had spent as much time with her and their daughter. They took Aubree out on Grant's boat and she loved it. Phil would've been proud that his granddaughter loved being out on a boat as much as he did.

"I'll be back before you know it." Jake told her wiping her tears away. "Then we can get married and have a great honeymoon."

"That's the thing you're waiting on the most, aren't you?"

"You know it." He said giving her butt a light squeeze.

"Jake." She said embarrassed looking around at the bystanders.

"You know you love the PDA." He chuckled.

They called his flight and he sighed leaning his forehead against hers.

"Give Aubree a big hug for me and tell her I will be back soon."

"I will."

They shared one last long kiss as she watched him walk through the metal detectors. He gave her one last look before disappearing.

"Joys of being a fisherman's fiancée." McKenzie sighed before heading to the parking lot to her Jeep.
