"Hate to break up this sweet moment, but visiting hours are over." Vivian said, walking in the room. "And baby girl needs to get some tests run."
"Okay." Reece said, reluctantly handing over Logan.
"I'll be right back." Vivian said, taking baby Logan and walking out of the room.
Marjorie turned on her heel and hugged Autumn and Winter one more time, Reece doing the same. Marjorie grabbed her keys and Reeces hand, walking out of the hospital room.
"I can't believe my sister is a mum." Reece said, caressing Marjorie's knuckles.
"Same." Marjorie said, yawning.
"You tired my love?" Reece said, kissing the top of her head.
"What makes you say that?" Marjorie said, yawning again.
"Maybe the yawning." Reece laughed, taking Marjorie's car keys out of her hand. "Let me drive."
Marjorie nodded as Reece opened the passenger door for her. She got in, yawning once again. Reece got in the drivers side, starting the car and driving back to their house. Marjorie fell asleep on the way home, so Reece carefully opened her door and carried her inside, gently placing her on the sofa and putting a blanket over her. Reece placed a kiss on her forehead, before walking into the kitchen to clean up.
"Who the fuck is calling me at this hour?" Reece whispered, pulling out his phone.
"Hey." Autumn said.
"Aren't you supposed to be resting? Or spending time with my sweet niece?" Reece asked.
"Whatever. Viv is still running tests on her. She's fine, it's just taking longer because they are short staffed." Autumn said, sighing.
"Okay." Reece nodded. "Why are you calling me?"
"Marjories party, duh." Autumn rolled her eyes. "I have it all planned out, and the venue booked. They are decorating it for me. You better come up with a speech to propose to her with."
"What— excuse—— sorry?" Reece stuttered.
"Party's Friday." Autumn smirked. "7:00. I'll text the group chat now, and before you even say, I'll be fine. I know what I can and can't handle, and I can handle seeing my brother proposing to my best friend."
"Okay." Reece said, taking a deep breath in. "Thank you."
Reece texted Charlotte, telling her to bring the ring to the party on Friday. At this point, Marjorie had woken up.
"Hey gorgeous." Reece said, kissing her lips.
"Hey." Marjorie said, stretching.
"Your celebration party is on Friday." Reece said, wrapping his arms around her. "Autumn sorted it all."
"Wow." Marjorie said, giggling. "Isn't she supposed to be spending time with Logan, or resting?"
"That's exactly what I said!" Reece exclaimed. "You know her."
"Stubborn as hell." Marjorie rolled her eyes.
"Yep." Reece laughed. "You ready to go to bed?"
"Yes." Marjorie sighed, kissing his chest.
—- Friday evening ——
"This look good enough?" Marjorie said, turning to face Reece. "I don't want it too dressy, but I don't want it too casual."
"You look incredible." Reece said, snaking his hands around her waist.
Marjorie was wearing a long black dress, with a deep slit in the middle, showing off her figure. Reeces eyes kept trailing down her body, clearly not thinking with his head.
"Reece Knight." Marjorie rolled her eyes. "If you want any later, my eyes are up here."
"Yes dear." Reece said, kissing her lips.
"Let me fix your tie." Marjorie said, smoothing it out.
"I hate wearing suits." Reece rolled his eyes.
"But you look so fucking good in them." Marjorie said, winking.
"If you keep looking at me like that, we're gonna be late." Reece said, pulling her in close.
"Like what?" Marjorie said innocently.
Reece rolled his eyes and walked downstairs, a giggly Marjorie following behind him. They arrived at the venue, seeing the flowers blooming everywhere.
"Autumn this is amazing!!" Marjorie squealed, meeting her at the front door.
Reece walked inside the venue, amazed with all the decor. He met Charlotte, who was holding a sleeping Logan.
"Hey." Charlotte said, taking her free hand and grabbing something out of her purse. "Here's the ring."
"Thank you." Reece said, putting it in his front pocket. "Does everyone know I'm planning on...."
"Yes." Charlotte nodded. "Except Marjorie, and Carly. Carly would not be able to keep her mouth shut."
"No kidding." Reece said, pointing to the teenager sitting with baby Quinn. "Nursery gossip."
"Exactly." Charlotte laughed. "You nervous?"
"Little bit." Reece said.
"You'll be fine." Charlotte said, rubbing his arm. "She'll say yes."
"I was thinking of doing it now." Reece said. "She thinks this is a celebration for everyone. She doesn't know it's celebrating....."
"The engagement." Charlotte nodded. "Go get your girl."
Reece placed a kiss on Charlotte's cheek before going to find Marjorie. Autumn looked at him, nodding, before shutting the venue doors. Reece took Marjorie's hand and brought her up to the front, looking at the rest of the decor.
"Wow. These floral decorations are amazing!" Marjorie said, turning the other way. "Reece?"
Marjorie had turned back around and saw Reece down on one knee, holding the ring box in his hand. She gasped, tears immediately filling her eyes.
"Marjorie. I have loved you since seeing you sitting in your office. The way you talk, the way you walk, the way you defend your staff members so hard, every single thing about you, made me fall in love with you. I fall in love with you more and more each day. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are the reason I wake up in the morning, and the reason I am alive. I don't know what I would do without you. You are the brightest star in my universe, the only star I'll look at for the rest of my life. I love you so much. So, Marjorie Frances Van Gould, will you marry me?"
Marjorie was in total shock, full on sobbing now. She covered her mouth, nodding vigorously.
"Yes! A thousand times yes!!" Marjorie squealed.
Reece stood up and kissed her passionately. The group was all crying, taking pictures and videos. Autumn was holding baby Logan, trying her best to keep it together.
"I love you." Marjorie whispered, pulling apart from the kiss.
"I love you more, gorgeous." Reece said, his hands shaking.
Reece slid the ring on her finger, and low and behold, it fit perfectly. Marjorie kissed him passionately again, pulling back and jumping up and down. Mia went up to congratulate the couple first.
"Congrats Reecey." Mia said, punching his arm. "Congratulations Marjorie. I'm so incredibly happy for you both."
"Thank you." Marjorie said, wiping away her tears.
Autumn had handed Logan off to Vivian, and walked up to the couple. She threw her arms around Marjorie, nearly knocking her over.
"Congratulations. I can't wait for you to be my sister." Autumn said, pulling back and wiping her tears away.
"I can't wait." Marjorie squealed.
Autumn threw her arms around Reece next, nearly knocking the blonde giant over.
"I'm so happy for you both." Autumn said. "I love you both so so so much."
