Pop goes the Question has always been my favorite episode. I was been happy Laura chose Steve because after years it was always leading up to this moment. The speach Steve gives to Laura hits the heart everytime. Beautiful words.
"Steve, but how could you just leave? You told me that you loved me." Laura felt everything falling apart because now uncertainty was very present now in her heart and full of her own facial expression.
"I do love you." Steve expressed as he walked closer to her with eyes filled that love but doubt. "I adore you." That was the truth as he spoke to her. Then he just let all his feelings pour out of everything he ever felt for Laura Lee Winslow. "I worship the rain that waters the grass the grows on the ground you walk on. All I've ever wanted to do was make you happy. Well, the only I believe I can do that is if I step aside."
He walked towards the door as Laura turned to watch him, suddenly feeling sad, yet anger as she just wanted to scream at herself and at him.
"Goodbye, Laura," Steve said, turning from the door to face her. He had one request before saying goodbye for good. "I do have one favor… to ask of you… One small favor" He just wanted this atleast one thing. "Remember me."
Laura couldn't believe what was happening. She felt shocked and confused. "Steve, wait!" she said exasperated. "You can't just leave!" All her emotions were loosing control. She was so used to being the one in control but now...
"Why not?" he asked unbelieving with his face expressed a furrowed brow, almost throwing down his luggage back down out of frustration. He just wanted to leave so she could live her happy life with Stefan and he would be out of the way.
Laura huffed, tears were starting to form. "Be...Because I can't imagine my life without you."
Steve looked at her, his eyes filled with questions and fear. What was she trying to do to him? His heart was already hurting. Was Laura actually ready? "What are you tryin' to say?" he pleaded as he motioned to her.
Laura was done fighting herself she had to take back control and tell him what her heart really wanted. "Well, I'm sayin' that… I love you… and… I want to marry you." She looked around the room in complete surprise herself and acted like she didn't know what she was going to hapoen next or be said, because Laura really didn't. Her hands hit her thighs as she was giving in her whole heart and soul to Steve.
He stared at his Laura in disbelief as he stepped forward to her. "You do?"
She looked back into his and they were filled with love and surprise. Laura Winslow was all in now. She looked down just for a second and knew immediately Steve was the one. She gave him a warm smile, meeting his gaze once more and her eyes filled with happy tears for the first time. Her head and her heart final could calm down after months of fighting who she wanted. Laura nodded quickly, hoping he was finally listening to her "Yes," she said as the tears were close.
Steve could not help but look down and held his hands out to her. Laura looked down also for a second as her hands were in his. As their eyes met they squeezed their hands. She pulled him in closer and his arms embraced for a long awaited hug. Steve could not help but be in disbelief as his mouth was agaped and he felt a tear fall.
Laura could not hold back anymore as she held Steve tighter and let her own tears fall. Heart was pounding faster bit she could also feel Steve's. His was going as fast as hers. Both scared of loosing each other but now finally having one another. They had each other.
Laura put her head on Steve's shoulder as thye just held each other in this moment. She sighed with relief as his head leaned gently on top of hers. "Steve?" Laura's voice was gentle but still shaking from all the emotions still hitting her.
Steve slightly moved his head as Laura brought hers up,. Thery were still holding one another as they finally saw each other's tear stained faces but looking into each other's eyes with love. "Yes Laura Lee?" Steve's own voice was quiet, almost he was afraid to say anything, as his mind was still reeling of what just happened. His body was filled with joy and excitement.
"Well do you still want to marry me?" Laura couldn't help but tease him a little giving a knowing smile as she slightly tilted her head.
"Of course I do. I would continue to propose to you over and over again just to hear you say yes everytime." Steve had a warm smile and breathed deeply as he felt Laura's thumb wipe away his tears. He reached over and did the same.
"Good... Cause Steve Urkel from now on it will always be a yes and many more kisses, like right now. I wanna taste my fiancé's lips." She teased with a wink. Steve pulled her closer as their lips were mere inches apart.
"But first Laura Lee Winslow will you marry me?" Steve had to ask again as his life depended on it.
"Steve yes, a thousand times yes! I will marry you! Now come give you fiancé some suga!" Laura then drew her finger under his chin. Steve shivered at her little touch. With their heads slightly tilted their lips brushed against each other first soft and tender that was full of love. Slowly their lips parted as their kiss deepend feeling intoxicated.
"Mmm!" they both moaned as they released each other from their lips and pressed their foreheads together as they were still holding onto each other. "Steve?" Laura began with a smile on her face and eyes still closed.
"Hmmm?" Was only Steve's response as he felt like dancing on cloud nine.
"I think I'm missin something." Laura pulled back as she was finally looking at her fiancé. His eyes opened and looked at her adoringly.
"What's that my dear?" As Steve asked he watched Laura held up her left hand. Her eyebrow was arched and had a smile peaking on the corner of her mouth.
"It really doesn't matter but aren't we missin something here? I mean it is up to you if you want to put your engagement ring on my finger." She joked as she wiggled her ring finger.
"Your right! Laura, please don't be too upset with me." Steve watched her frown in confusion so he explained himself. "I usually don't enter your room without your permission but your door was already open. I knocked anyways because I wanted to make sure and when you were not in there to tell you where I was going, I just left the engagement ring on your night stand." Nownhe thought about it he felt bad because now that ring belonged on her finger.
"Why did you leave it there if you were leaving me anyways?" Laura pressed her lips hard as she was trying to listen to reason. She was still disappointed that he thought stepping aside to live in Russia was the solution. She would have gone crazy without a life with Steve Urkel.
"Just something to remember me by or you could have sold it if you wanted too. I was at the point I wanted to disappear and let you live a happy life without me. I could no longer have it because it represented our past and how badly I wanted a future with you. But now I do get to have that future with you, Laura Lee. I'm going to be your husband and one day in the future the father of our children." Steve pressed his forehead against hers once again and smiled.
Laura felt hurt knowing she would have probably would have picked Steve no matter what and he would left. She had to push that feeling aside because Steve was right there holding her and he was now her fiancé. "Steve can you go get it? I would love to have it on my finger to show I picked you because I'm in love with you."
Steve grinned as Laura was too. "You betcha baby!" He let her go and watched her as he fumbled towards the stairs and tripped as he walked up them. "I'm okay!" He yelled as he made it up to the last step. Laura just giggled on Steve's sillyness and walked over back to the sofa and sat down. There was no way she was going to be able to finish her homework right now. She pushed save on her laptop and began to put everything back in her bookbag.
Just then Carl walked in from work almost tripping over Steve's luggage. "What in the?" He was confused as he finally looked up finally walking pass the luggage seeing his daughter. "Is that Steve's?" Pointing at it, frowning.
"Hi Daddy! Yeah it is. He'll move it when he gets back down here." Laura told her dad with a smile as she put her bookbag by the sofa on the floor. Carl sat next to her feeling still confused. "He better because I almost fell... Why is his luggage down here anyways? Where is he going?"
Laura turned to her dad as her heart began to beat really fast once again. She took a long breath but gave her dad a warm smile. "He was going to leave for Russia." She began as she could tell on her dad's face she wanted her to continue. "Well Steve thought the only way I was going to be happy was if I picked Stefan. So he was going to step aside and move to Russia. And well Daddy, like mom said she couldn't imagine her life without you. I can't imagine my life without Steve."
Carl's eyes got big and his head slightly started to sway. "So you're gonna marry Steve... Steve Urkel is going to be my son-in-law... Are sure?" Giving her a deadpan look.
Laura chuckled and swatted at his arm. "Yes Daddy, I am sure. Might sound crazy to you right now but I want to be his wife. I know I can he happy with Stefan, but for how long before I got bored of that kinda life style. With Steve life has never been boring since he came into our lives."
Carl chuckle and patted her knee. "Okay that one is true. He sure has kept us on our toes. But Laura if you are happy with Steve... I'm happy for you and I guess Steve too."
Laura nudged her dad with a big smile as he smiled back. He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her in for a hug. "Thanks Daddy. And you know Steve will treat me with all his love and respect."
"Yeah I know." Carl smiled with a few tears in his eyes as he let go of their hug. "The way he treats you makes all his not so good qualities seem like nothing. I just can't believe Steve Urkel is going to be my son-in-law..." He said with a scowl but quickly winked at Laura showing her he was only joking m, okay maybe half joking.
