My Perfect New Year-Ch 4
As the day continued on Derek worked hard to make sure that when he proposed to his baby girl that it was romantic, he wanted it to be perfect so he planned and worked hard on it all day long with his mothers help of course. When it got nearly 11:00 Dave led the rest of the family up the snow covered path that led to the lake, the men had gone up earlier and fixed the bonfire and were taking things like marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate bars so that they could make smores
The boys loved the idea and were jumping at the chance to get to stay up past midnight and have smores, Penelope grinned as she watched the family file out of the house one by one, soon leaving her alone with Derek. When she had come back inside from the porch she saw Derek standing in front of the fireplace, she slowly walked over and smiled when she saw that he'd prepared a romantic picnic and it was spread out on a blanket in front of the fire.
As she got down on the blanket he said, "since the others are up at the lake I thought that you and I couldddddd maybe do a romantic picnic, what do you think?", she leaned in and kissed his lips gently and said, "I love that idea handsome". He opened the basket and pulled out some of her favorite things like chicken alfredo, salad and of course double chocolate chip brownies for dessert, Penelope grinned and said, "can I have the brownies and something else for dessert?", he said, "sure, what would you like?", she grinned at him sexily and said, "you, I want you".
He winked at her and said, "baby girl you can have me anytime day or night", she laughed and said, "I remind you of that when I get a little further along in my pregnancy and start craving you constantly", he said, "ohhh sounds like fun". She looked at Derek and said, "ya know, according to my sources we might be doing it as often as 6 or 7 times a day or maybe even more", Derek said, "sounds like we're going to be busy" causing her to smile wider.
They sat there laughing and talking, the mood was perfect, Derek had put candles all over the room and there was soft music playing and with the crackling fireplace beside them the mood was ohhhhh so romantic and just perfect for him to propose. Derek smiled as he pulled out a bottle of chilled sparkling water, he said, "we'll have this after midnight", she said, "handsome, it seems that you've thought of everything".
He took her hand in his and said, "Penelope Grace Garcia, I love you so much, you are the best thing that's ever happened to me, you're my best friend, my baby girl, my goddess and I would like for you to do me the honor of marrying me and spending the rest of your life with me".
Penelope sat there with tears streaming down her cheeks, Derek said, "ohhh baby" as he wiped away the tears, she said, "I love you so much Derek and there is nothing more that I want to do than spend the rest of my life with you". Derek grinned as he pulled out a small black box from his pocket, he opened it and said, "will you marry me baby girl?", she smiled brightly and said, "yes, yes I'll marry you" she then threw herself into his arms and claimed his lips with hers in a passionate kiss.
When they pulled apart Derek took the ring from the box and put it on her left ring finger, he then brought her hand to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "I love you", she touched his cheek and said, "and I love you handsome, and I love you". She then leaned in and claimed his lips again with kiss after kiss until they pulled apart gasping for air, she stood up and held out her hand, he looked up at her and she said, "make love to me Derek".
He stood up and said, "your wish is my command", he intertwined their fingers and led them up the staircase and down the hallway that led to their bedroom where he intended to show his baby girl all night long how much he loved her.
