"Yeah" Daniel wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer, "Rachel Richardson, will you marry me?" he asked looking into her eyes.

"Wow, already?"

"Hmm, we technically live together as you spend half your time with me at the penthouse and half at your home. Let's put a permanent label to our relationship" Daniel seriously suggested and added, "Only if you are ready"

Rachel smiled and gently kissed his lips, "Yes, I am ready, let's get married."

Daniel then took out a ring from his pocket and put it on her finger.

It was a beautiful, elegant looking diamond ring.

"Shouldn't you have sat on your knee and proposed me with this ring?" she taunted him.

"That was the plan when we went to have dinner tonight but it felt so unreal and artificial. This feels natural" He explained.

"I agree"

They again kissed each other before going to their favourite sunrise location and watched the beautiful view of sun rising, together.

"I am surprised dad gave you his blessing" Rachel joked on their way back home.

"Actually, he didn't, he kept troubling me. He said, he wants to keep his daughter with him and not give her away. It was your mom, who scolded him and gave me blessing on their behalf" Daniel sulked and narrated what happened when he went to ask for William's blessing.

Rachel laughed hard as even today William keeps troubling Daniel in spite of admiring him.

That evening, Rachel planned a big surprise party for Daniel as he turned thirty today.

Although, she tried her best to keep it a secret, Daniel found out about it but he pretended like he was indeed surprised seeing all the guests at his home.

Rachel went to greet Patrick and Emily, and carried champagne glasses for them, "Thank you for making it to the party"

Patrick and Emily accepted the glasses, he took the sip but she didn't.

"How is wedding treating you two?" Rachel asked the newlyweds.

"Honestly, there is no difference at all. It just feels the same" Emily brightly smiled.

"You are literally glowing" Rachel complimented her as Emily looked more beautiful than ever.

"Thanks, and congratulations on your engagement" Emily hugged Rachel and after having some small talk, Rachel went to greet other guests.

"Pat, please take away this champagne glass from me" Emily whispered in his ears.

"Don't worry, I'll do so when no one is looking." Patrick assured her.

"Pat, I am feeling very hungry" Emily pouted at him and he laughed, "I'll bring snacks for you, sit here" he made her comfortably sit on the couch as she was two months pregnant.

Emily smiled and enjoyed all the pampering she was getting from her husband.

Two months ago, they discovered Emily is pregnant and this time, they didn't waste any time and immediately got married in the town hall in presence of their close family and friends.

Patrick and Emily didn't reveal to their friends yet about her pregnancy as they wished to do so after 16 weeks but their parents were aware of it and were very happy.

Emily is trying to forgive her parents, and occasionally she is spending time with them. Their relationship was at least better than before.

Her dad is a gynaecologist, so he is taking extra care of her pregnancy as he and her mother wanted to rectify their past mistake.

Lisa and Matt, who entered the party and wished Daniel, saw Emily sitting on the couch holding the champagne glass. The two immediately rushed towards her and sat on her either side.

"Ems, are you crazy? You are pregnant, you can't drink champagne" Lisa scolded her sister and took away the glass from her.

"How can you be so irresponsible?" Matt too scolded her.

"Will you two, calm down? Rachel, gave me this glass and if I said no, it would look suspicious so I just accepted it."

"Okay" Lisa drank the champagne in one gulp and gave the empty glass to Emily, "Here, problem solved"

"Hey, don't you dare get drunk tonight, I am not going to waste all my time taking care of you" Matt warned Lisa.

"What the hell! Emily, did you see? when we were not dating, he used to take care of me and since we started dating, this is how he behaves" Lisa complained to her sister.

"What did I do? I just warned you to not get wasted. Rest, I take amazing care of you, I am the best boyfriend in this world" Matt scoffed at his girlfriend.

"God, will you two, stop bickering like kids?" Emily laughed at them, as they keep fighting all the time.

"She is a kid, I am not" Matt refuted.

"Well, then dating this kid makes you a paedophile" Lisa teased him.

Patrick, who just joined them laughed at Lisa's remark, "Matt, you can never win an argument with your woman, so just give up"

"I agree" Matt helplessly shook his head.

"How is living together going on for you two?" Emily asked Matt and Lisa.

After their marriage, Emily and Patrick shifted to a bungalow with a friendly neighbourhood, keeping in mind their future children.

Lisa and Matt decided to move in together and were enjoying this relationship.

"It is great" Lisa genuinely looked happy and so was Matt.
