I just stood there starring at him.
"What?" I stood there in shock.
"Marry me." He said opening the box.
I stood there for a minute then finally answered.
"Yes..."
"What?" He asked a little suprised.
"Yes." I said leaped toward him an wrapped my arm around his neck.
He hugged me back.
I let go and he slipped the ring on my left ring finger and kissed me.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too." I said and kissed him.
We stay together like that for a while before my phone rings.
"Hello?" I say answering while he is holding me smiling.
"You better have said yes!" Was the first thing I heard.
Then...
"What did she say?"...
"Did she say yes?"...
"Sakei?"
"Well?" He asked impatiently.
"How did..."
"We have our ways." He said laughing.
"Saeki..." The next thing I know the phone I being Yankee from my hands.
"Saeki, she will call you back." He said hanging it up. "I'm not done kissing my fiancé." He said smiling at me.
I finally made it to the hospital.
"I'm here...sorry I'm late."
"Its fine, your dad has been asking for you."
"Is he OK?" I asked fallowing Danielle down the hall.
"Yes, he just said that he was waiting to see what you said."
"A...about what?" I asked guiding my left hand.
"He didn't say. But he did have this huge smile on his face."
"I better go talk to him." I said walking toward the elevator.
I walked on the elevator.
"You and me are going to talk later about that." She said pointing at my left hand.
I just smiled at her as the doors closed.
"Hey dad."I said walking into his room.
My mother was there with Ayana.
"So?" He said looking at me.
"What?" I asked acting like I had no idea what he as talking about.
"Did you talk to Orimitsu today?"
"Yea, we went for a walk before I got here."
"And?" he asked.
"O for goodness sake Kinichi, she obviously is just kidding. Look." She said grabbing my left hand and showing him the ring.
"You said yes?"
I nodded.
"You know, I was surpised he came and talked to me." He said looking at me.
"Why?"
"I haven't been in your life for so long, I didn't think that it would be that important to him. Then again, I didn't think that you would divorce Kunihiko."
"Kinichi!" My mother said scolding him.
"It's fine mom. I didn't that it would have got to that point either. But it did." I said sighing a little.
"You deserved someone who treats you better than he did." My dad said.
"I know."
"And I think Orimitsu is an amazing person." My mother said.
"Mom."
"Your mother's right. Orimitsu is a great guy. I haven't been around in a long time but he still knew it was important to ask me for my approval of you two."
I just looked at him.
"I said no at first because I knew nothing about him...but he sat here and told me all about himself. About where he was born, his parents, where he went to school. He told me he was in the air force before he started working at the medelwork shop."
"That is how I met him. He had cut his hand at the shop and came in the emergency room when I was helping out. He was the most patient...patient." I said laughing a little.
"Well I am happy for you." My mother said.
"You deserve to be happy." My father said.
"Thank you."I said.
I stayed and talked with them for a while.
"I better get back to work before they get mad." I said standing up.
"O, Anne. Don't worry about getting the boys. I'm going to get them."
"Why?"
"They have been wanted to come over and stay the night. Why not tonight? I figure you and Orimitsu will like some time to yourselves." She said smiling.
"Thanks mom. I will be by to check on you later dad." I said walking out of the room.
I go around and get my rounds done.
"Dr. Aikawa to the nurses station. Dr. Aikawa to the nurses station."
"What in the world do they want now?" I asked myself.
I walked down the halls toward the nurses station.
I go arnd the corner.
"Congradulations!" Everyone yells.
Suprised i jump. I look up from my charts and everyone is standing there with a balloon and a small cake.
The nurses and fellow doctors, even some patients are there.
"What in the world?"
"We thought that a little party is called for to celebrate." Said Danielle.
"Celebrate what?" I asked. Pretending I had no idea.
"Ask him." Somone says pointing behind me.
I turn around and Orimitstu is standing there withna single rose.
"I hope you don't mind, i figured i would tell everyone. I figure if the nurse gossip like high school girls, then why not."
"Hey!" Danielle said.
"Her words not mine." He said pointing to me.
Danielle rolled her eyes.
The cake was passed out to everyone. They all seemed to be having a good time.
I was standing talking to Danielle and one of the ER doctors.
"Who would have guessed that you would meet someone in the ER?" Danielle said.
"I know, it makes me wish that I was the one that treated him."
"Excuse me, can i barrow my fiance?" Orimitsu asked.
"Sure, see you tomorrow Anne." She said smiling.
"What?" That was all I got to say before Orimitsu dragged me off.
"Orimitsu, where are we going?" I asked as we walked out to his car.
"You will see."
He drove to his apartment.
He walked around and opened my door.
"Let's go." He said taking my hand.
He led me up to his place and opened the door.
"O wow."
I walked in and there was a dinner set out for both of us.
"I figured after the disaster of a dinner that we had last time I would try again."
"Thank you." I said kissing him.
We sat and ate dinner and we were sitting on the couch drinking tea.
"Are you happy?" He asked me.
"Very. I don't think I could be happier." I said looking at my ring.
"Do you not like it?" He asked looking worried.
"O no, I love it. It is so beautiful."
"I'm glad. It took me a while to pick one out that I thought you would like."
"I would be happy with anything you would have got me. Even a ring out of those toy machines." i said.
"I figured you would say that." he said reaching in his pocket. "I got this." He said showing me a ring from the toy machines on a small chain to make a necklace. "I thought that I would give it to Ayana."
"I think...she will love it." i said kissing him.
The next day we both went to pick The kids up from my mothers.
"Mom, we're here." I said walking into the kitchen.
"Mom...is it true?" Asked Ethan.
"Yea, are you and Orimitsu really getting married?" Cooper asked.
Both the boys were running from the back room.
I looked up at my mother.
She shrugged her shoulders with the 'sorry' look on her face.
"Boys, I know I asked you before but...how would you feel if me and your mother got married?"
"That would mean you would be our dad right?" Cooper asked.
"Kind of, I would be your step dad. Your dad will still be your dad."
"But you and mom will be married?" Asked Ethan.
"Yes."
"Do you Iove our mom?" Cooper asked.
"Very much, that is why I want to marry her."
"Then its fine with us." Ethan said.
"One thing." Cooper said.
"Anything."
"Don't ever make her cry."
"I won't."
"Boy's, go get your stuff." I said.
The boys went back down the hall to get their stuff.
"Ayana, this if for you." Orimitsu said, putting the necklace around her neck. "I want y to have this. I love your mom, brothers and you."
Ayana looked at the necklace and skilled.
"I love Mitsu too." She said hugging him.
The boys came back out into the kitchen and we went home.
The next day I was at work and I had an emergency surgery to do.
"What do you want Anne?" Kunihiko asked when he answerd the phone.
"Listen, I have to work late tonight. I need you to pick up the boys from my mothers."
"Are you serious?"
"Look, I have an emergency surgery to do and I and you to pick up the boys. I will be by to pick them up about 10. Thanks." I said hanging up.
After work I went and picked them up.
"Thanks for picking them up." I said as he buckled up the boys who were asleep.
"Its no problem." He said closing the car door. "O the boys said that you and Orimitsu were getting married."
"Yea."
"I'm happy for you, really."
"Thanks, I better get them back home." I said getting in the car and driving away.
Months went by.
Me and my mom and friends planned out wedding and had everything ready.
Finally it was they day of our wedding.
"You look amazing Anne." Danielle said.
"You do." My mom said starting to cry.
"Don't cry mom. You're going to make me start crying."
*Knock Knock*
"Anne, are you ready?" Sakei said walking in an stopping when he saw me.
"How do I look?"
"Beautiful." He said smiling.
Saeki was walking me down the isle since my dad couldn't.
"Let's go." He aid as I slid my arm through his and walked out of the room.
"Thank you for walking me down the isle." I said a we walked toward the doors of the church.
"I'm not walking you." He said letting go of my hand.
"What?" I asked starting to freak out.
"Calm down, I figure you might want him to instead." He said pointing behind me.
"Dad?" He was walking toward me using a cane. "I thought that..."
"I wanted to surprise you. Ready?"
I slid my arm in his and the doors opened.
