Bruce was in his office working. Ever since his parents death, he was working hard. He had to take over his parent's company, since Reggie was still at the hospital. Thankfully he was okay, his internal injuries were mostly okay. Unfortunately, he was stuck in a chair. His neck was severely injured in the crash.
He sighs as he signed another paper. He had his movie company to run, but there was no time to make movies. His family's legacy was at stake.
Lila stands in the Patman's kitchen waiting for the water to brew. She and Bruce barely talked since that night. She stayed at the Patman Mansion to keep Bruce company, she was worried sick about him.
Ever since Marie and Hank's deaths, and Reggie's accident, Bruce totally shut himself in. He withdrew in himself and threw himself into work. He left the reins of "Patman Productions," his movie company to his vice president to run. Bruce just said he wasn't going to let his family's company fall into ruin. Luckily he knew exactly how to run it.
Once the water finished boiling she poured the water into her cups. Good thing the Patman's have a elevator.
Bruce was reading the monthly expenses when there was a knock.
"Knock knock. I brought some hot chocolate. Take a break, and don't you dare say no." Lila demanded.
Bruce knew he needed to double check these papers, but he knew he couldn't concentrate. Hot chocolate? Sounds good.
Soon he and Lila were laying on the floor cuddling.
"Best hot chocolate ever. Did you finish yours?" He asks, his now cold cup sitting on his desk.
"What hot chocolate?" Lila teased back. She knew her Donna Karen dress was wrinkly and scrunched up, but at the moment didn't care. She was being held in Bruce's arms.
Lila just wanted Bruce to relax, but while they were sipping their mugs, Lila made a remark about his Persian rug being more soft than his bed, so they decided to test their theory. Thirty minutes later were laying in each other's arms.
Bruce kisses Lila's head. This is what he needed. Family, friends, a girlfriend. No, a wife. He was thinking. He knew Reggie was moving in, so Bruce was making arrangements to make this home wheelchair accessible. Plus was planning on renovating this place from top to bottom. Things around here needed to change. His parents wanted to keep this place exactly the same, but both Bruce and Reggie thought it was too dated. Plus his baby. He wanted Lila to stay.
"Lila?"
"Hmm?" Lila sighs in contentment.
He stands up, and pulls Lila's hands up making Lila stand up. He looks down at Lila's belly. It was flat, but he could see a small bump sticking out. He then gets down on his knee. He saw Lila tearing up.
"Lila Fowler. Will you marry me?" He was surprised to see Lila kneeling down as well.
"You are not taking this moment away. Bruce, will you marry me?"
"Yes." They both say.
They were hugging when a knock came to the door. They look up sheepishly at Bruce's embarrassed butler.
"Ahem. Your doorbell rang, but neither of you heard it. The contractor is here to see you."
"Thank you, Ben. You may return to your duties." Bruce tells his beet red servant. Ben was glad to return to his duties.
"Well, I better get dressed. Where is my underwear?" Lila asked.
Lila drives away in her Mercedes, looking at her brand new engagement ring. She had to tell her mom, her and Bruce needed a place to live.
Bruce watches Lila drive away. He was wearing his engagement ring. He had to hand it to Lila, she knew his tastes. Since this place was getting gutted and renovated for Reggie, he and Lila needed a place to live.
