-Destiny Chapter Forty Two-
Thanksgiving turned out to be just like the year before. Abuela, Nancy, and Britt's brothers came again. While we were there, we took Abuela to the Hoover Tower. She didn't like it very much. Maybe that's where I get my fear of heights. The Tower doesn't bother me anymore because when we were younger, we use to go there all the time to waste time and hang out. There also is a free art gallery right next door that we stopped into. My favorite piece was 'The Gates of Hell'. It's a metal sculpture. It's amazing, there are bodies all over these two gate doors.
We went back to reality of working our asses off in school and at our jobs. I was told I have to go on tour again. I am worried this time, Britt is not going to be able to come with me. Good thing is it's not till this summer and maybe we can work around schedules. Before we knew it Christmas was here but it was a very welcomed break.
Christmas was the same as Thanksgiving, with Britt's family joining us as well as abuela. It was really nice and I think we have created a new family tradition. Christmas time is my favorite time of the year. I love the lights, the songs, the family atmosphere, and the way it puts a huge smile on Britt's face. We already went down to Christmas in the park in San Jose. It's this park in the middle of down town San Jose where they set up different displays of Christmas sets. They even rent rides. Of course, Britt makes me go on them with her, but thankfully they aren't ones that go high in the air. You can also buy cotton candy and take pictures with Santa. Over all, it was a fun time.
Like after Thanksgiving, Sky, D, Britt and I went right back to our routines of, school and work. We all worked so hard that we become ships passing each other in the night's sky. It was really bad and I even noticed that Britt started to look really tired. I tried my best to make sure that she ate and slept enough. I worked really hard in the studio and met new people who I will be working with on upcoming stuff.
This got me thinking a lot. Thinking about whether I even want to go on tour again. I don't want to be without her, ever, on tour or not on tour. Then there is the fact that I am beginning to get really worn out, mostly from being in the spot light. Sure I love to DJ and sing on tracks, and it's amazing to go out and meet the fans on tour, but I am thinking about taking a step back from the spot light. The good thing is throughout the last couple years I have learned so much stuff from Paul that I could open up my own Studio.
I have been considering doing that but if I do that, it means that my own career might have to take a back seat. Right now I feel like that's ok though, I am getting tired of all that it requires of me and yeah I am young still, but I have been doing this for years already. On the plus side of me taking a back seat and starting to produce my own clients, is getting to spend more time at home. This means I will be able to take better care of Britt. I am already well off in the financial department and if I stay in the business I will continue to make money. Ugh I don't know what to do I will have to bring it up to Britt so we can decide what to do.
Tonight is my birthday and tonight is the night I am going to ask Britt to marry me. I finally think I am ready. Well, I have always been ready. I knew from the moment in the café that she was the one and only for me, that we were meant to be, but I think I am finally ready to make it official. To tell the rest of the world of the love we have, and if we are lucky, within the next couple years we will start adding to our family with kids.
I am kinda nervous I asked Sky and D to come give me a pep talk.
"What do you need San?"
"Oh shit, you scared me"
I say as I turn around in my chair so I am now facing them.
"Ok, so don't freak out on me, promise?"
"Yea, ok what?"
"I am going to ask Britt to marry me tonight"
"WWWWHHHHHAAAAAATTTTT" Sky freaks.
"SHHHH, I told you not to freak out"
"I'm not freaking out. Just wait, what? You're finally going to do it?"
"Yup"
Next thing I know I am in a bone crushing hug, not only by Sky, but D as well.
"Ok guys, it's a little hard to ask her to marry me if you'd have killed me"
"Oh shit, sorry"
They release their hold on me.
"Congrats, what did you do knock her up?" D jokes.
"No ass, I just… I need it to be official. There's more and no not kids, but I need to talk to Britt about it first and then I will let you guys know"
"Great, I go from being the Twin who gets to know when you take a shit to you have to, wait till the wifey and I talk first."
"Aww, is the sister a little jealous?"
"No"
"Good, you're going to be my bestwoman"
"Really?"
"Of course"
"Then who is going to be Britt's?"
"Fine, then be Britt's"
"Ok I will"
"Wait, first she has to say yes! You are supposed to be calming me down, not making me go crazy"
"No, I am here to distress you about asking her to marry you and I did, you're not even thinking about that are you?"
"Well no, ERRR, fine your right"
"Like always"
"Ok, you guys gotta get out of here Britt will be on her way home any minute and I need to start dinner"
I scoot them out of the office.
"Here take this and have a night out on me"
I hand them 200 dollars. After they left, I got started on making dinner right away. I made her favorite meal and just as I was pulling dessert out of the oven she walked in the front door.
"I'm home baby"
She says as she shuts the door. She puts her bags down in our room and walks into the kitchen. She places a kiss on my fore head.
"Wait it's your birthday I am supposed to be making you dinner, not you making me dinner"
"No baby, I love making dinner for you, my birthday or not. Have a seat"
I pull out the chair for her, she sits down and I push her in.
"What a gentle lady you are"
"You know it"
I grab the plate that is behind us on the counter placing it down in front of her.
"ooo, my favorite"
"The best for my best"
I lean down and kiss her temple as I sit down in my seat next to her.
The meal was very good and when we cleaned our plates I put them in the sink and grabbed the cake that I made for us.
I placed it down in the middle of the table. I sit down again and turn to Britt.
"I have something I want to tell you"
She says. I am curious but I need to do this now or it might never happen.
"I have something to ask you"
"Ok, but this is kinda important"
"So is this"
"Ok but I really think you need to know this"
"Same"
"We…
"Will…
Are…
You…
Going to be…
Marry…
Parents"
Me?"
"Wait… What?"
We say in unison. I think I heard something about parents but I really don't know because I was too worried I wasn't going to say the right words.
"You go first" I say.
"We are going to be mommies"
"Really baby? That just makes what I was trying to ask you even better!"
"You're not mad?"
"Why would I be mad baby? That only means there is more of you to love"
"Wait, what did you say?"
I got down on my knee, put her hand on my heart and looked into her piercing blue eyes.
"Brittany Susan Pierce will you make me the happiest woman on earth and marry me?"
She pulled me in and kissed me all over my face the last being on my lips, this kiss turned into a deep one, turning into a little make out session and when we took a breath for air.
"Does that mean yes?"
"Oh my God, Sorry, yes of course."
I reached into my pocket and pulled out the ring I have been holding on too now for the last 4 years. She puts her hand out in front of me and I place the ring onto her finger.
"We so have to call abuela"
Britt says as she stands up pulling me up from my knees.
"So are we going to call everyone or are we going to celebrate first"
I say in the most seductive voice I can muster.
"Well, I am sure we can celebrate and then make the calls"
I fist pump the air, earning chuckles from Britt. I grab Britt by the wrist and lead her to our room. I don't even care about the cake anymore, Sky and D can enjoy.
The minute the door closes, I start ripping off her clothes. I throw her down on to our bed. She lands on her back and I climb on to the bed after her. I grab her legs holding them up in the air and placing them on my left shoulder. I am on my knees and I scoot closer to her. I grab on to my hard member stroking a few times to get it to full length.
She's looking at me with such love it melts my heart. I enter her slowly, she rocks against me as we start building up to a quick pace. I grab one leg bringing it over to my other shoulder getting putting us in a new position allowing me to go deeper. I lower her legs to the bed and lean forward so now we are eye to eye. She wraps her legs around my butt and locks her ankles. She uses her legs to pull, me into her harder.
I look into her eyes and am taken back by how much love I see in her there. I bring my hand up to her cheek caressing it softy.
"I love you"
"I love you"
What was, one minute, us having sex, turned into us making love, the best kind of sex. We get closer and closer to our peaks, until we come undone together. We lay in bed holding one another as I rub her belly where our baby is.
"We are going to be mommies, baby"
"Uh huh"
She says as she kisses my forehead.
"We really should call our families"
"Ok"
"Should we tell everyone, over the phone, or when we can be all together at once?"
"All together"
"Sounds good, I'll call everyone together then"
I get on the phone setting up a time and place that the family can get together. We are going to meet up at my mom's house on Sat. Abuela is flying in late Friday night. Nancy and the boys are off work so it works best for everyone.
After I get off the phone, I cuddle up in Britt's arms. I place my head close to her belly making sure not to put too much pressure where our little one is growing. I rub her belly gently.
"How long have you known?"
I move so that I can look at her.
"Well I missed my period two months ago but, you know sometimes with stress and work, I miss it. I thought it was just that, then when I missed this month, I took at test today at work. So I only found out today, love"
"I am so happy that we are going to be mommies and that you are going to be my wife"
I kiss her forehead then her nose down to her lips.
"Me too, more than you know"
The rest of the night we held each other close. We stayed up all night talking about where we want the wedding and when. We talked about whether we thought it was a boy or a girl. We talked about a little bit of everything.
Today Sky, D, Britt and I are headed back home. We got here around noon and Britt's mom, brothers, my abuela and my parents where there already waiting for us. We walk up to the door and abuela runs out.
"So… what's the big news?"
"Abuela, come inside"
I manage to push her into the house. We all make our way to the living room where everyone takes a seat except Britt and I. Standing there in front of everyone I begin to feel overwhelmed so I reach out and take Britt's hand into mine.
"So we have some big news"
Everyone starts bombarding us with questions.
"Whoa hold on, we are going to tell you."
"All I want to know is do I get my great grandbabies yet"
"Abuela calm down. Ok so like I was saying we have some big news"
I look at Britt and she looks back at me, we both grow huge smiles, we turn back to our family.
"We are getting married!"
We say together. Everyone stands and tries to give us hugs.
"Damn it! I thought I was getting my grandbabies"
Abuela says once things settle down.
"There's more"
I say as I motion for the family to take their seats again.
"Better be my grandbabies"
"Well you got your wish"
My abuela looks up at us and I swear I can see tears in her eyes. She stands up and walks over to Britt she gets down so she is level with her belly.
"I'm your great grandma"
She tells our little growing baby.
The rest of the family gathers around us once again. My sister comes over to me and pulls me aside.
"You didn't tell me she was pregnant"
"I didn't know, she told me as I was asking her to marry me"
"Really?"
"Yeah, I promise"
She pulls me into a bone crushing hug,
"I am so happy for you sis. You and Britt are going to make the best mommies ever and I am going to be the best aunty ever!"
We return to the family. Sky makes her way over to Britt.
"You are going to be the best wifey and mommy ever"
She puts her hand on Britt's belly.
"And I am going to be the best aunty"
After everyone came up to us individually to congratulate us we all decided to go out to lunch to celebrate. We go to the Olive Garden. Once everyone arrived we were seated.
"So when are you planning on having the wedding?"
My dad asks after we placed our orders.
"We were up all night thinking about that. We want to have it before the baby is born. Since Britt is already around 2 months, that gives us 7 more months to have the wedding. We were thinking we could have it over spring break. That gives us a few months to plan it"
"That's a great idea, mija"
My mom joins in on the conversation.
"Well I don't care when it is, as long as I get to be there when you pick out your dress, Britt" My sister says.
"And who is walking who down the aisle?"
Britt's eldest brother asks as he shoves a fork full of food into his mouth.
"Well I was thinking that you would walk me down the aisle and Brendon would be my best man. And I was going to ask Sky to by my maid of honor."
Britt turns to look at Sky as she asks her question. Sky looks like she's gonna cry.
"OF COURSE I will!"
"I was going to have papi walk me down the aisle and ask D if she would be my maid of honor. I'm gonna ask Puck to be the best man. Oh crap! We haven't told our friends, babe. I will call everyone tonight and see if we can get together for a karaoke night or something and then we can tell everyone together."
"That sounds good love"
Britt says
"So San, if it's not cause you knocked her up then, why did it take you so long, you have had that ring in your closet for four years"
"Really Sky? Really?"
All you hear is 'aw's' from the table. I look over at Britt, and if you didn't think Latina's can blush your wrong, my cheeks were red I am sure. Thankfully Britt knowing me just reassures me by squeezes my hand under the table. The rest of the meal we figured who was going to do what for the wedding and when. Sky and D want to throw Britt a baby shower, that yes, I get to go to. We agreed that we aren't going to have bachelorette parties at all.
The rest of the day we all stuck together figuring out the wedding and shower. Just like it's nice to get together with the gang, it was really nice to get together with the family. It's kinda funny, all day all the women in the family would go up to Britt and pat her belly. They would talk to our baby telling it who they are and that it's about time that they join the family.
I know it sounds weird but I think my dad might actually be the happiest out of all of them. Now, he doesn't show it, but I swear I saw a tear come out of the corner of his eye a couple of times when he looks at Britt and me. I think he is excited to be a grandpa. I know he is going to be the best one, too. I can remember back to when I was little how my dad would come into Sky's and my room when we were little and take us into the kitchen to make bowls of cereal. Then he would take us to the living room and turn on cartoons. He would sit and watch them with us for hours, until mom would wake up, then we would do whatever we had planned that day.
Then there were times when he would rough play with us. He taught me how to ride my bike, throw a ball and always pushed me to do the things that make me happy, like singing and Djing. I know he is going to be the best grandpa ever.
Thinking about all the things my dad did with me makes me think about all the stuff I am going to get to do with our baby. I can't wait till next week for Britt's doc appt. We will get to hear the heartbeat. I think once I get to hear that, it will hit me that this is all real, me being a mom, Britt being my wife, us becoming a family. I am so excited I can't wait.
