This is another one that was pre-written from the three-shot. So I've done my best to write around it so that everything moulds together.

Chapter 11

Dianna POV

I opened my front door after an extended day at work and was so glad to be home. Naya and I had been dating for eight months now, everything was perfect in my life, I had my little man and I had a woman who treated me so wonderfully and who I was undeniably in love with. I had them, and yet looking around the apartment, I couldn't see either of them. I did see an elaborate fort though, constructed from draped sheets and couch cushions. It would be something I'd have to tidy up later tonight but those things that didn't matter, its memories like these you had to treasure. Naya hadn't moved in with us, we decided it best for Austin to not rush things until we knew how serious we were as a couple. We'd made that decision months ago now though and with how often Naya was here helping me out with Austin I'd been rethinking things. I heard muffled giggling coming from inside the fort and I couldn't help but smile.

"I wonder where Austin could be?" I mused loudly, knowing it would entertain him. More laughter could be heard, both Austin's contagious laughter and moments later Naya's cute giggles.

I ducked my head into the fort my two love's had built. Inside lying on their backs the pair of troublemakers pretended to be asleep. Naya was wrapped around Austin's little finger, and vice versa, and that was more than any mom could ask for, even if it did make for mess. I was going to keep up my charade.

"Well what a shame everyone is asleep, I'll have to enjoy this ice cream all by myself."

"ICE CREAM," Austin yelled. That was one of the first things he'd learnt to say and he stuck to it. He ran towards me and hugged my legs.

"I guess the gigs up," Naya said poking her head out of the fort and sharing a smile with me that told me she was happy that I was home. "Tell me its mint chocolate chip."

"Would I get you anything else?" I replied. I knew Naya's favourite things and it was hard not to want to do absolutely everything in my power to make her happy, even the little things.

The three of us ate our ice cream in the lounge room, Austin sat on the floor in front of the television while I sunk into Naya's embrace on the couch and let my head lay back on her shoulder. When she finished her ice cream she played with my hair and it was so cathartic I almost fell asleep. Before I could afford to do that I'd have to put my son to sleep. Austin and I went and put on his pyjamas and brushed his teeth before he wanted to come back out and say goodnight to Naya. She scooped him up in her arms and kissed his face all over. She did that to both us Agron's.

"Don't forget about the surprise," Austin attempted to tell her.

"I won't baby. Sweet dreams."

I eyed her curiously before following Austin into his room and tucking him into bed. I read him only a short story, as I was eager for sleep myself. I re-entered the living room and Naya was in the kitchen washing up all our dishes. I instinctively went behind her and wrapped my hands around her waist and placed a kiss on her shoulder.

"So you have a surprise for me do you?" I was not one for patience when it came to these things.

"First things first, come see my fort," she beckoned. I laughed loudly before remembering Austin was asleep and covering my mouth with my hand until it subsided. Naya could be such a kid.

We crawled into the fort on all fours and I had to admit the structure was fairly impressive. It took me back to a time when things were simpler, when I didn't have anyone but myself to worry about, when money meant nothing, when I didn't have to work late. One look at Naya beside me though and I knew I wouldn't trade my life now for anything.

"Dianna…" Naya began, hands in her pockets. "I love you. I am so in love with you. It's crazy to me just how different my life is to how I imagined it but spending time with you and Austin, that's when I'm happiest and that's when I feel I'm the real me. Some times I don't know if I'm the best for you…" I tried to interrupt her there to completely dispute that but she motioned with her hand for me to be quiet and let her continue. "I do know though that I'll never stop trying to be the best for you, to give you everything you need and to tell you often just how much I love and admire you, because that's on my mind all the time. When I'm here with you and Austin, just doing something as simple as eating ice cream while we all watch TV, well, I never want it to end."

"It doesn't have too Nay," I interrupted this time. I told you I wasn't patient.

"I know," she said, her eyes and lips both smiling. "I was just hoping we could make that more of a promise." With that I watched as my girlfriend removed her right hand from her pocket and held out an exquisite diamond ring. "Dianna Elise Agron, will you please continue to make me the luckiest woman ever and be my wife?"

Tears were running down my face, as I nodded. Words were failing me; I was so overcome with shock and delight. Naya's delicate fingers slid the ring onto my left hand and we celebrated with a sweet, passionate kiss. As we pulled back and looked into each other's eyes one thing crossed my mind.

"You told Austin about this?"

"Of course, I had to get the little man's permission to marry his mom."

"Naya Rivera you are possibly the sweetest person in all the world."

"And don't you forget it."

I knew I never would.
