Chapter Twenty Three: An Appointing Proposal
When the weekend came, both Elizabeth and Caleb walked together while they were discussing their child and they were heading to the clinic. And Caleb was thinking about when he was going to propose to her because he knew that it'd be sometime that day. He just didn't know when he would do it at least, but he realized something. He should just do it at the appointment to really throw it all together for the moment.
Elizabeth only stated "So Caleb, I was thinking about the kid and such" and Caleb had listened to her before he asked "Yea what about our child?". Elizabeth stated "Well like, I mean we're dating and such but I am just wondering like". Caleb chuckled, he said "You're questioning something?" as Elizabeth replied "Yea when are you gonna like⦠Y'know". Caleb replied "Sometime Elizabeth but I promise you that moment you won't expect it".
Elizabeth rolled her eyes now while they had walked into the clinic, she sighed a bit she couldn't believe that they were already at this point of time. However now they were here now and their life was really coming together as a part of this plan. Yet with an undetermined proposal, with a mystery if Caleb was really ever gonna do it, it really caused her to question. Although they've been together for no-more than a year, it still was a good moment.
In the meantime, the two were walking and they saw that Maria and Michael were doing one thing and there was Luis and Emma doing another thing. It seemed like everything was finally coming back to being normal once more. There weren't any issues so far, Max and Kara weren't really much of a problem anymore. Eventually the two finally arrived at their destination, now it was the glorious journey of just waiting and such.
While they were sitting in the waiting room, Elizabeth said "Y'know darling, I am just wondering how people will react to our child" and Caleb replied "Well I know Ezra is excited". He added "He always wanted to be an uncle so you know that he's onboard". Elizabeth chuckled a bit before she said "What would I do if I had never met you". Caleb replied "I ask myself the same thing, I'll probably still be with Zoe honestly, let alone them being behind my back".
Elizabeth said "Well then I am glad that I took you when I had the chance, but then again I think it was you who made the first move instead of me". Caleb replied "Either way, I am happy that you're in my life now my sweet princess". Elizabeth nodded a bit before she said "So, my cousin is moving to the area next school year". Caleb replied "Sweet I'll be looking forward to it, so what's their name?" and Elizabeth replied "Justin, he's sort of an odd one".
She added "He's like me, a country person at heart but he's really the country guy and he'll most likely be called Cowboy at the school in all honesty". Caleb nodded a bit before he said "Well, I'll be looking forward to meeting the guy anyways". While they waited, eventually a nurse came out and said "Underwood" and Elizabeth and Caleb got up now. The two walked into the back, when the nurse had asked "So you think you guys are young?".
Caleb replied "I assure you, that we both thought this through" and Elizabeth added "Yeah, we decided that we were going through with this, we're keeping with our word". The Nurse nodded and said "Well, I won't judge, I was just wondering if you guys knew what you were doing". They entered a room and she said "Alright, all you gotta do is lay down on the bed". Elizabeth went to do so, which she relaxed as much as she could at least.
The Nurse said "I'll go get the doctor" and she walked out of the room, where both Elizabeth and Caleb sat together before Caleb said "Y'know I'm nervous". Elizabeth replied "Caleb you're not alone, I'm nervous as well, I never thought we'd get this far". Caleb nodded before he said "Well in that case I want to do this before you change your mind". Elizabeth looked at him and asked "Do what now?" and Caleb said "Elizabeth we've been through it together".
He added "If anything, I don't see myself with any other woman besides you. You are the one I have been looking for all my entire life". Elizabeth then said "Caleb just spit it out, your acting all weird, well you've been all weird all day honestly". Caleb sighed a bit before he said "You never make it easy Elizabeth but fine then if you want me to". He grabbed something from his coat pocket, then he went and showed her the engagement ring that he got for her.
Once she saw the ring as she said "Are you" which Caleb nodded and he said "Elizabeth, will you marry me" and Elizabeth just hugged him and she said "Of course I will". They held each other now before, Elizabeth said "You know we'll have to tell our friends". Caleb chuckled and he said "After our appointment then we'll tell them the news". Elizabeth nodded now, which it seemed like everything was finally coming together now.
Although unfortunately some tales must come to an end, the continuation of their story will continue on into their Senior Year and Justin's first year at the school.
