(fast forward a year)

"Daddy?" I heard Emma speak as she walked inside.

"What's up cutie?" I asked as I pressed start on the dishwasher.

"Can I ask you a question?" She spoke as she set her backpack down.

Yes, backpack. My baby girl is in kindergarten. Not going to lie, I cried. She turned 5 four months ago and school started last month.

"When are you going to ask mommy to marry you?" She asked.

"Where'd you get that from sweets?" I asked as I handed her an apple and bottle of water.

"You said that after I turned 5 you hoped she would want to marry you. Daddy, incase you can't remember, I turned 5 four months ago. You need to step up your game."

"Oh really?" I asked as I leaned against the counter.

She nodded and tossed me the rest of her apple, "Really."

"Alright then sweat pea, you wanna go help me find a ring?" I asked as she smiled.

"Let's go daddy!" She exclaimed as we walked out the door.

"Woah," she whispered as we walked into a jewelry store.

"Look who it is!" Two people exclaimed from
Behind us.

We turned, seeing Ben and Jack.

"Uncle Ben! Uncle Jack!" Emma exclaimed as she ran to them.

"You nervous?" Jack asked me as Ben and Emma went outside.

"Hell yeah, what if she says no? What if she leaves us?" I asked.

"She won't. We love her, you love her, and Emma loves her. She loves you so much Luke, you don't even have a clue. She's a keeper like we said," he told me as I nodded and we began looking at rings.

"Daddy! Uncle Ben brought me a sucker!" Emma spoke as she ran towards me.

"Awesome sweetheart. You wanna help me?" I asked as I picked her up and let her stand in a chair.

"I like that one," she whispered as we looked at the one she was pointing at.

In that moment, I had never been more sure about this. I'm getting married.

"Luke? Why is it so dark sweetheart?" I heard Laura call from downstairs as I fixed my tie in the mirror.

Shit, I'm so nervous. I'm damn 21 years old and still get nervous around girls.

This will be amazing for her if she says yes. Yesterday, she got her dream job as a pediatrician at the doctors office Emma goes to. And if she'll say yes, it'll make my whole life.

I had roses all over the room, along with candles and I spelt out 'Forever?' in roses.

I heard her coming up the stairs, "Luke? Babe where are you?"

"Bedroom," I spoke as I saw her walk in.

Her eyes widened and her hand flew to her mouth. I could see the tears in her eyes and I got down on one knee.

"Laura, you make me the happiest man alive. I'm so thrilled that every morning I wake up and every night I go to bed, you're there. You've been here for me for two years, or almost anyway. These past years have been the best years of my life. I adopted the most precious girl I call my daughter and now I have the woman of my dreams. Well, almost anyway. Laura Claire Roberts, will you marry me?"

Tears were streaming down her face and she nodded, "Yes Luke. Oh my god yes."

I was smiling so hard I was afraid my smile was going to get stuck. I get up and walk over and slide the diamond ring on her finger.

"Oh my god," she spoke as she hugged me tightly.

"I love you so much baby," I spoke as I kissed her passionately.

"I love you too," she spoke.

"So, you've agreed to be the future Mrs. Luke Robert Hemmings. What's next?" I asked with a cheeky smile.

"The next thing I'm going to do is get this suit off you," she whispered as she kicked the door shut with her foot.

Oh boy. Thank god Emma is at Calum's tonight.

(fast forward to wedding)

In a short matter of six months, it's my wedding day. I'm so freaking nervous I'll mess this up.

Emma and Laura spent the night at a hotel with her bridesmaids and the boys and I stayed here.

"You're getting married!" Ashton spoke as he ran in my room and jumped on my bed like a 3 year old.

"Go away or you won't be the best man," I groaned as he laughed.

He got me up and Calum and Michael had just woken up too, you could easily tell.

"How you feeling?" Calum asked with a tired smile on his face.

"I'm scared shitless, I'm not going to lie."

//

"I now welcome you Mr. and Mrs. Luke Hemmings!" My brother Jack spoke as Laura walked out, hand in hand.

"Wait for me!" Emma screamed as she ran behind us, making us laugh.

"I couldn't  do this without you baby girl," I spoke as I picked her up.

"I love you daddy," she spoke as I kissed her cheek.

"I love you too," I spoke as she jumped from my arms and went to dance with Noah and his brother Grayson. Paris remarried about five months ago and he had a son.

"Can I have this dance m'lady?" I asked as Laura smiled and nodded, grabbing my hand and pulled me to the dance floor.

(after honeymoon)

Laura Hemmings

I looked at the plastic stick in disbelief. Positive, I'm pregnant.

Luke and I have been trying for a month now to give Emma a sibling, she's been asking ever since we got back from the honeymoon a month back. We've been trying since.

It was early in the morning and Emma went to spend the night with my parents last night. I walked into the room and Luke was asleep in the bed, his toned back poking out from the sheets.

I went and laid down and kissed his head, "Luke, babe?"

"Hmm?" He moaned as his eyes stayed closed.

"I have to tell you something," I whispered as I kissed his face over and over.

"What's that baby? Did you break my Xbox for real this time?" He asked with a smirk as he opened his eyes.

"Don't you get me started on that mister. I thought I broke it, at least I was going to buy you a new one," I spoke playfully as he smiled and kissed my lips.

"What do you have to tell me sweetheart?" He asked as his hands rubbed my arms.

"I'm pregnant."
