*Y/N

~AFTER TWO DAYS~


     I am staying in mom and dad's house. Dad currently went out somewhere, while mom is with me. 

     "Mom, do we have popcorn?" I asked as I enter the kitchen.

     "We do, sweetie. You're craving?" 

     "Badly, mom." I said as I made a tired face. I walked inside the kitchen.

     "What's in with the popcorn?" Mom asked.

     "Just a tea and popcorn." I said as I made my tea. "When's dad gonna be here?" I asked.

     "In a little bit, I think. I hope he doesn't stop at anything." Mom said and we giggled.

     "How's the little one?" Mom asked as he motioned at the baby. I chuckled and I rubbed my hand on my stomach.

     "Oh, he's quiet right now, but making me crave so bad.." I said while I took a sip of my tea.

     "I'm making it faster.." Mom said motioning the popcorn at me. I chuckled at her and I looked at the fridge.

     "Mom, where's my Neapolitan Ice Cream?" I asked.

     "You already finished it, sweetie. But I asked your father to buy you." Mom said.

     "You're the best mom." I said and she giggled.

     "I know!" She said. Just then, we heard a doorbell rang. 

     "I'll get it, sweetie." Mom said. I nodded my head and continued to refill my tea. "Y/N! There's something for you.." I heard mom called. I put down my cup on the counter and walked to the door. When I got near, I got shocked.

     "Oh my God!! You're home!!" I ran to Robert and hugged him.

     "Hey, be careful, love.." He said and he chuckled as he hugged me back. "Good to be back, love." He said as he kissed me.

     "I have something for you." He said. We broke the hug and he reached into his pocket. He pulled out a red box. "I told you, I'll buy this for you when I went out." He joked and we laughed. I gave him my hand and he removed my promise ring. He now opens the box and I gasped.

     "Love, that's so expensive..." I said as he softly put it in my ring finger.

     "That's nothing compared to what you've put up with me, and I love you for that." He said as he put the promise ring back into my other hand. I peck his lips and I smiled at him.

     "Thank you.." I said.

     "You're welcome."

     "I thought that this is just a promise ring?" Dad asked. I hugged Robert and looked at mom and dad. I saw mom's mouth went wide.

     "It's not dad.." I said.

     "Wait--what?! It's a proposal!!" Dad said. I heard mom gasped. "That's not how we propose, Robert!" Robert and I laughed at dad. 

     "What?!" Mom and dad said at the same time. 

     "He already proposed to me, mom, dad." I said and I smiled big.

     "WHEN!?" Dad asked desperately.

     "When I visited him, he did it there.." I said and I smiled big.

     "Fine! You're off the hook.." Dad said. I giggled and I went near dad to hug him.

     "Thank you dad.." I said. Dad hugged me back and he kissed my forehead.

     "I thought you're the last one to get married.." Dad said. He's right, everybody thought that I'm gonna be the last one, but it turns out, I was next to Rue. 

     Scout and Josh didn't last long. After 5 months of Rue's wedding, they broke up because of a big argument. While Tal and Dave broke up because of Dave's cheating on her. Me and Robert were strong enough, that it led to a wedding. Rue and Levi hadn't had a chance to get pregnant, because it might bring complication to both mother and baby if that happens. Ever since, Rue doesn't want to have kids anymore and Levi supported it, even though it hurts him, but he loves her more than anything in this world..

     "Well, no embarrassing speeches.." I said as I broke the hug.

     "You're no fun.." Dad said and we laughed.

     "Let me see the ring.." Mom said. This is her first intro that she used when Rue got engaged. She'll warm up soon. Mom went near me and I let her see the engagement ring.

     "This is quite big!" Mom said in astonishment.

     "Yeah." Robert began. "It's a 4-carat diamond. It's a real diamond." Robert said as he crossed his arms.

     "How much was it?" Mom asked.

     "You better not ask that.." Dad said.

     "Tell it.." I said as I looked at Robert in his eyes. 

     "$250,000." Robert said. My mouth went wide and got really shocked.

     "Oh my God! Robert John Downey Jr! Why????" I told him in shocked.

     "It's because I love you." He said as he went near me. He hugged me and felt him kissed my head. "The price of that won't be the same as how you put up with me. I've gone worst, but you're still by my side. You're even carrying my child! And I love you so much.." He said as he broke the hug. Tears are now flowing down. Robert got to wiped them both away. I playfully hit his chest as I sniffle.

     "It's your fault, you made me cry." I said. They laughed at me and Robert peck my lips. 

     "I know a way to make you feel better." He said.

     "What?" I asked him as I wiped my tears.

     "I've bought your Neapolitan ice cream." He said. I smiled big and clapped my hands. 

     "Can you bring it here? I was watching a movie awhile ago." I asked as I pout my lips.

     "Of course. For you and the baby, I'll do it." He kissed my lips and I smiled big.

     "Get my tea and my popcorn to mom." I told him as I took a seat back on the couch. I played the movie and rubbed my stomach as I felt Elijah beginning to move around my womb. 

     "Calm down baby, your food's coming. Daddy's preparing them." I said. As I mentioned daddy, he stopped moving and I raise my eyebrow as I looked at my stomach.

     "Hey you go.." I heard Robert said. He placed the tray on the coffee table as he sat beside me. "What is it?" He asked as he notice my stare at my stomach.

     "He was moving around, but I mentioned you, he stopped." I said. "He's daddy's boy." I added and we both chuckled.

     "I hope he's like his mom." He said and we chuckled again.

     "He better be." I said and we laughed. Robert grabbed my bowl of ice cream and he gave it to me. He wrapped his arm on me and I snuggled near him while watching the movie and eating my ice cream.

     "Thank you." I said and kissed his cheek.

     "Anything for you and the baby." He said and we smiled.
