Anna's POV

I wondered where Matt was taking me. He told me to dress nice and I did.

I sighed inwardly.

Few minutes later we arrived at O'CE. He got out of the car and came round to help me out too.

"Matt, what are we doing here?"

"Lets go" he smiled

"Matt?"

"You'll see" he said

We entered the lobby which was empty except for the security guy who nodded at Matt and I. We entered the elevator and Matt pushed the top floor. As in...roof.

I was scared.

Matt knew I was afraid of heights or has he forgotten?

We were two floors to the roof when Matt told me to close my eyes.

"Matt...?" I groaned

"Anna, I know you're afraid of heights but please, trust me" he said

I sighed inwardly and finally closed my eyes. I felt him kiss my forehead.

Finally I heard the elevator dinged open. He held my hand and guided me out of the elevator.

"Careful" he said

After a few seconds of walking slowly we stopped.

"Open" Matt whispered into my ear. It made me shiver but I ignored it.

I opened my eyes slowly and I saw it.

Red rose petals were scattered on the floor from where I was to the table for two that wasn't far from us. There were candles on the floor on either side of the path the rose petals paved and on the table too. A smile crept to my lips. My emotions were everywhere. Blame it on my hormones.

I didn't know whether to cry or laugh. I turned to Matt whom was behind me. I put my hands round his neck and I hugged him really tight.

"Lets go eat" he said after I pulled away.

We got to the table and Matt pulled out a chair for me and sat on the other. He was smiling like a school boy.

"Martha" he called

And just like our first date Martha came. I looked at Matt, clearly surprised.

"Ms. Anna" Martha acknowledged my presence.

He whispered something into her ear and she left.

I was shocked

"Nothing. We're just having dinner" he said

"Doesn't feel just like dinner anymore. The roses, the surprise...it feels different"

"I'm happy it is"

Martha came with two other guys that looked like waiters. The two of them were carrying a covered plate each. Martha led them to us and as they dropped the tray in front of Matt and I separately, they removed the cover to our food.

"Enjoy" Martha said and left us

"My favourite" I noticed

He smiled.

We ate and talked.

"Dessert?" He asked

"Depends" I said

He smiled looking nervous.

Matt was nervous? That's a first.

"Martha" he called again

Martha came again with the waiters. They took our empty plates and placed the new ones. I was wondering what was making Matt nervous when the waiters opened the plates and left. I finally looked at what the dessert was and I just froze.

***********************************************************

I couldn't believe my eyes. My breath caught in my lungs, my lips were shaking.

It was a ring in a red box.

It was so perfect.

I looked at Matt but didn't find him on his seat, he was kneeling on the floor near me. That's when I released my breath which was shaky. My eyes was tearing up.

He took the ring and smiled at me.

"Annabelle Taylor Vaughn, I know we've been through a lot of bad times and I've caused you a lot of pain. I never want to see you cry except its tears of happiness, and I want to spend the rest of my life by your side, loving you, and of course making babies with you..." I giggled "...till the day I die. So would you do me the honour of marrying me and becoming my wife?" He finally said

I sighed.
"One question?"

"What?" He asked still nervous

"Does Kat and Elsa know?"

He smiled and nodded.

"Then yes. Yes I'll marry you Matthias Luke O'Connell"

He grinned at me and placed the ring on my finger. As he got up he held my hands in his and I got up too.

"I love you" he told me

"I love you more" I said

"I love you most" he said then kissed me

***********************************************************

"...that's how he proposed" I told Kat, Elsa and Jason

"That's so sweet" Kat said

"I didn't know my brother had that romantic side of him" Elsa said

"When's the wedding?" Jason asked

"We don't know yet. I'm still trying to get use to the idea of being his fiancée" I said

"Do you mean my pregnant soon-to-be wife?" Matt came down the stairs

I smiled at my soon-to-be husband.

He reached my side and kissed me.

"Eww" Elsa said

"You guys should just get married as soon as possible before she pops" Kat said

"I still have approximately three months, I can't pop anytime soon" I said

"Still, let's just get married before you bring our child into the world" Matt said

"Okay."

***********************************************************

Three months later

"...you can do it" the doctor said "C'mon push"

"Arggh" I was so tired, my body was weak and my eyes were shutting close "Haaaaah"

"C'mon honey" Matt who was beside me said "We can do this"

"You do not know what I'm going through so shut up" I yelled at him

"Push" the doctor said again

"Arrghh" I screamed "I'm sorry honey" I said to Matt

He smiled at me
"Its okay. I love you"

I smiled and gave everything I had to the next one and I heard my baby cry after a few seconds.

"Congratulations" the doctor said coming with our baby "Its a girl"

Matt looked at me and smiled. He placed the baby into Matt's hands before Matt gave her to me.

"What should we name her?" I asked

"Alli. Allison Maria O'Connell" Matt said

I loved it.

"Allison" I called her. I looked up at Matt who was looking at me.

"I love you" he said

"I love you more" I said

"I love you most" he kissed my head and I closed my eyes and saw our perfect family
