"Milty come on where are we going?" Gina whined. Milton was dragging her down a dark dirt path in an old forest.

"I told you. You will see!" He laughed, yanking her arm harder.

"Be careful silly! You will break my arm," Gina gasped over dramatically.

"Flattered you think I'm strong enough to break your arm," He laughed again. "See we are here now." Milton held his free hand out and moved a bunch of vines hanging from one of the trees. He revealed something that looked like it belonged in a movie. There was a circular table in the middle of a closed og area. Fairy lights were intertwined with the vibes, running up the fat trunks of the old oak trees. Gina's heart picked up the pace as she slowly walked forward, taking in every inch of her surroundings.

"Milton this is... this is so beautiful," Gina gasped. She moved over to the table. The scent of pumpkin spice washed over her almost immediately. "Mmmmmm those candles smell amazing!" She said, picking one up and smelling the hell out of it.

"Don't burn yourself babe!" He rushed over and moved her hair back.

"Such a gentleman Mr Boyle," Gina giggled. He nodded and pulled out a chair for her to take a seat.

After about two hours of sitting and talking about absolutely nothing, the two were full to bursting. Milton had cooked lasagna at home and brought it out in one of Gina's picnic bags she had bought when she got pregnant. Gina got overly excited and bought a lot of useless things when she got pregnant. At least they found a use for the bag.

"You look so gorgeous in this lighting," Milton sat back and admired her.

"Why thank you," Gina smiled. For some weird reason, she couldn't bring herself to compliment him back.

Suddenly Milton sneezed, forcing him onto the floor. Gina's hand flew to her mouth in attempt not to laugh.

"Omg Milton are you okay?" She said trying as hard as she could to contain her giggles.

"More than okay," he said suddenly repositioning himself to be on one knee in front of Gina's chair. A high pitched gasp escaped the woman's lips.

"Milton what are you doing?"

"What feels right. What feels the most right," He replied confidently. "Gines. Ever since I have met you my life has been so much brighter. You make the world a better place, you make my world a better place. Nobody makes me happy the way you do and I truly believe you are the one." Milton looked up into Gina's eyes and opened the small box he was delicately holding. "Gina Linetti, will you marry me?"

"I- Milton," He looked at her, beaming. "I'm sorry. I can't. I can't do it," She lowered her gaze to the floor.

"What? Why? I don't understand!?" He got up in a state of utter confusion.

"I'm- Milton I'm gay," she looked up at him. A single tear running down her peach cheeks.

"Excuse me! You are gay?" She nodded. "I mean that's cool, I'm not against that. I am against the fact you knew but still lead me to believe you loved me, had a kid with me and then let me believe you were ready for marriage, though." Milton didn't quite know what to think. "Why do that?"

"I did it because I was scared. I've always had somewhat of an attraction to women so I thought I may be pan or bisexual. I've dated so many men and I've been engaged to eight of them but non of them ever followed through and I would always be confused as to why. Then the dare came along and I was forced to be with Rosa. I thought those 13 months of my life were pointless. I was wrong. I met you in those months and we started dating but over time I lost attraction just like all the other men I've dated. In my heart I know it was because I don't like men, that I'm lesbian, but my head was telling me that's wrong. I cant be a lesbian, I got to be heterosexual. It was like my head was telling me to cover up ever part of me and I felt like I was drowning. I was so scared and I ended up forcing myself to stay with you, have Iggy. I was forcing myself to be someone I'm not and I know that sounds harsh but it's the truth. You are an amazing person Milton, you really are but I'm just not there. If it wasn't for someone, I'd be expecting now and forcing myself to lie more and dig myself into a deeper hole of lies," tears streamed down Gina's cheeks.

"Gina look, it's okay. Yes I'm hurt and yes I still love you, but you don't love me and that's okay. If you love a woman than good on you. I'm proud of you for being able to finally open up like this," he grabbed her hand. "You deserve happiness." And squeezed it.

"You are a really good guy, you know that?," Gina smiled through the tears. "I'm sorry I couldn't be what you wanted."

"It doesn't matter what I want. It matters what makes you happy," he tucked a stand of hair behind of hair behind her ear. "And if that it is Rosa, then so be it."

"What?!" Gina looked up. "I don't love Rosa!"

"Hmmmm yes sure," he laughed.

"I don't!" Gina blushed furiously.

"Oh please! I see the way you look at her, the way you act when she is mentioned and look you are blushing so hard. Gina that's love."

"Okay fine I love Rosa! But I have ruined any chance of that happening. Last week she came to the precinct and we ending up yelling at each other and I told her she was the reason I left. She told me I was a bitch and that I'm manipulative," Gina cried harder. "I've lost her Milton!" She sobbed before collapsing into his arms.

"Hey, hey it's okay. I'm sure she still loves you. You need to talk to her Gines," He stroked the back of her head as she went on crying into his chest. "When was the last time you spoke without shouting at each other?"

"The Saturday she babysat for us," Gina sniffed, pulling away.

"What happened when you went home? Did she seem off or?.." he asked looking down at her.

"Urm... Well, no." Milton cocked and eyebrow at her tone. "We had sex."

"Oh wow! Okay righttttt.... sooooo," he suddenly became very flustered. "This is awkward."

"I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for, stop apologising!" He awkwardly laughed. "Did she say anything that night?"

"She said she missed me, loved me and hated me," Gina replied.

"In what context was the "I hate you"? He asked, trying to figure out what advice to give here.

"Well... I was.. you know," Gina lifted her hands up and imitated scissors.

"Ah yes," Milton laughed.

"And she said that before kissing me again."

"Honestly Gina, I don't see her being over you. At all. No matter how much you have pissed her off, she will still love you. You were the love of her life and that's so clear. You have just got to win her back. I know you can do it!" Milton smiled.

"Thank you Milty. You deserve the world, you really do."

"As do you Gines."
