I knock on the door and a few moments later it swings open revealing Nikki. When she looks up and sees me a look of confusion crosses her face before it's quickly replaced with surprise.

Nikki lets out a small gasp before wrapping her arms around me as best as she could since her pregnant stomach was in the way.

"What are you doing here? I thought you moved." she asks while moving to the side so that i could come inside. I push Liv's stroller in and then take Liv out.

"We moved back." I say with a small laugh. "We just got back last night."

"Why didn't anyone tell me about it?"

"I told them not to." I say as we have a seat in the living room.

"Oh my gosh! This is so wonderful! Now Olivia and my little man can grow up together." she says with a big smile while rubbing her belly.

"Have you got a name for him yet?"

"Yeah... We decided on Michael James Winters.... I can't believe we'll get to meet him in just four months. I'm ready to meet him!" Nikki says with a small laugh.

I give Nikki a big smile, "That's a lovely name and I can't wait to meet him."

"Thank you..... Could I hold Olivia?"

"Of course." I say as I stand and take Liv over to nikki.

"Oh my gosh,Claire, she is adorable." Nikki says with a big smile.

I return the smile. "Thank you."

"So everything is okay with you and Josh now?"

"Yeah,I think so."

"Well that's wonderful!" She exclaims with a big smile. "I'm beyond excited that y'all are back!"

For the rest of the day Nikki and I just sat around catching up. Liv and I are on our way home now.

When we get closer to home I see Josh's truck in the driveway, I guess he came home early, he wasn't supposed to be home until about eight tonight and it's only four.

As i approach the house the door swings open and Alice and Charlie walk out.

Alice walks over to where I am.

''Hey, Josh wants us to take Olivia for the night, he has some things planned for you two." Alice says sounding excited.

"Okay... Ummm.... Let me just grab Liv's things for you. Do you have a place for her to sleep at your house? Will your mom or dad be there? Do you know how her car seat works?" I ask feeling a little panicked that Liv won't be with me tonight.

"Okay Claire first of all calm down. Both of my parents will be there all night,also mom has all kinds of baby stuff at our house that she bought for when Olivia gets to spend the night or when she watches her and Josh already put everything Olivia will need into my car and he's put the car seat in and given me detailed instructions of how to put her in the car seat and how to take her out of it.

S

o there's nothing to worry about. Plus Charlie has a two month old sister so he will know what to do if she needs something in the car. It's only like a five minute drive so she should be fine in the car though." Alice replies.

"Okay, I'm nervous about Liv not being with Josh or me all night." I say.

"Claire, she'll be fine. I promise. Now you really need to get inside because Josh is waiting for you."

"Okay." I say as I hesitantly let Alice take Liv from her stroller.

"Please be careful with her. I'll see y'all tomorrow." I say as Alice places Liv in her car seat.

"Okay.. I'll be extremely careful with her." Alice says once Liv is all strapped in.

"Bye." Alice and Charlie say in unison as the get in the car.

I wave to them as they pull out of our driveway.

Once I can no longer see Alice's car I turn and walk up to our front door,I open it before pushing Liv's stroller inside.

I put Liv's stroller to the side and head towards the living room looking for Josh.

When I get to the living room he's not there so I turn and head to the kitchen.

I look all over the house and don't find Josh anywhere just as I'm about to go out to our backyard I hear a knock on the front door, when I open the front door I see Josh standing there with a bouquet of roses.

"What are you doing?"I ask with a giggle.

"Here these are for you." He says while handing me the roses. "I have a surprise for you, sorry it took me so long to get here after you got home. I asked Becky and Aaron for help with the surprise so I rode with them and we got stuck in a little traffic."

"It's okay. Thank you for the flowers."

"You're welcome, now go put on something pretty." Josh says before giving me a small kiss.

"Okay I'll be right back."

I run upstairs and change into a red sundress and some strappy gold sandals

before heading back downstairs.

"Oh wow you look great."Josh says when I get downstairs.

"Thank you."

"Okay, ready to go?"

I nod my head in response,Josh grabs my hand and walks us out the front door.

We walk to the car and Josh opens my door for me, once I'm in he shuts my door and goes around and gets into the drivers seat before backing out of the driveway.

We've been in the car for about five minutes and my curiosity is killing me!

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"If I told you then it wouldn't be a surprise." Josh says with a chuckle.

"Well how long til we get there?"

"About an hour or so."

"Uhhh... I have to wait a whole hour?" I say whiling giving Josh the puppy dog eyes.

He glances over at me and chuckles. "I'm afraid so."

I let out a huff before I start messing with the radio trying to find something to listen to.

Once we get almost to our destination Josh speaks up. "Okay I really want this to be a surprise so put this on." He says wile handing me a blindfold.

"Josh,is this really necessary?"

"Yes it's very necessary. I don't want the surprise to be spoiled."

"Okay." I say as I tie the blindfold on.

About five minutes later we come to a stop.

"We're here. Stay there,I'll come around and help you out."

I hear Josh get out and then my door open. I feel Josh grab my hand.

"Come on." he says sounding excited.

I climb out of the car and Josh leads me to where ever we're going.

"Okay there's a couple steps here so be careful." Josh says.

"I feel like an idiot." I say with a giggle.

"How much further?"

"We're almost there, come on." Josh replies with a chuckle.

I let out a small giggle as Josh pulls me to where ever we're going.

After another minute of walking we come to a stop.

"Okay you can take the blindfold off now."

I take the blindfold off and let out a small gasp as I see a candlelit dinner on the beach.

"Happy birthday Claire."

I had completely forgotten about my birthday with everything else that has been going on.

I turn to Josh and give him a big hug. "Thank you so much."

Josh gives me a kiss and we have a seat.

"This is amazing." I say as I look around.

"Only the best for you." Josh says with a smile.

I return his smile before we have dinner.

After we finish dinner we just sit and chat for a bit.

"Come on Claire, let's take a walk." Josh says as he reaches for my hand.

I grab his hand and we start walking along the edge of the water.

We walk for a little before I see something glowing up ahead, as we approach it I see that it's candles spelling out the word 'Will'.

"Hmm that's strange." I say as we walk past it.

Josh nods in response, we walk fir a few more​ minutes before I see something else glowing up ahead.

As we approach it I see that is says 'You'.

"I wonder who left all these candles out here." I say with a giggle.

Josh chuckles in response.

We continue walking and I see something else glowing up ahead,it looks like a bigger word than the other two.

When we get close to it I let go of Josh's hand and walk a little faster,I'm curious now.

Once I reach it I see that it says 'Marry Me?'.

"Someone must have proposed and didn't clean it up or some-" My sentence is cut short when I turn around and see Josh on one knee holding up a ring.

He reaches out for my hand and I take it.

"Claire I love you so much. I know we're both young and everything but I want you to know how much I truly care for and love you. I want you to be my wife some day,it doesn't have to be anytime soon but I want you to know that I'm yours and only yours and that you're my one and only. So will you marry me Claire?"

I let out a small gasp as my eyes fill with tears. I didn't expect this,this was the last thing I ever expected tonight.

"Yes!" I say as Josh stands up and wraps me in a big hug. "I love you so much!"

Josh lets me go from the hug and slips the ring onto my finger, this is the best birthday ever!

"I can't believe that I'm going to marry my best friend some day." I say as I give Josh a kiss.

"I love you so much claire."

"I love you too Josh.

The End
