Angie POV

After getting back to the hotel we had left Esmee to look after Stephen although going by how they were with each other I don't think they will be getting much sleep.

Drew had gone to the shops as I had a craving for pretzels and I had decided to run myself a bath while I waited for him. Sinking into the warm water I lean back and close my eyes.

Today had been a long day and emotions had been running high for everyone but no one more so than Esmee who I had to admit had a pretty impressive right hook, we had learned that she had indeed broken Ricochet's nose but not to the extent that he had broken Stephens.

I did feel sorry for Stephen by the time he got out of the hospital he not only had a strap across his nose but he also had a protective mask which did not look in the least bit attractive but Esmee didn't seem to mind.

I'm shook from my thoughts when I feel myself being lifted and a body sliding into the water behind me.

"Did I wake you?" He says softly kissing my cheek

"No I was just thinking about today" I say as I lean back against him feeling his chest hair against my back

"I've been doing some thinking too" he says placing his hands on my stomach and I close my eyes

"Oh what about?" I ask

"Well not only can I not wait to feel him or her move" he says moving a hand over my stomach "but I can't wait for you to be my wife, in fact I don't want to wait"

"Drew what are you saying?" I ask opening my eyes and turning my head to look at him

"What do you think about us getting Stephen and Esmee and just heading to the town hall and getting married?" He asks

"What now?" I ask

"No time like the present" he smiles

"I would love to but there is nothing on this earth that would make me knock on Stephen's door right now" I laugh

"That's fine I'll do it" he says and I roll my eyes, surely he can't be that dumb

"Drew um I really don't think you want to do that" I say "let's just say the proverbial sock is on the door handle right now"

"What?.......OH" he says finally getting it "how about tomorrow then?" He asks

"Tomorrow sounds good" I smile leaning back against him

"I love you Angel" he whispers "you and this baby are everything I want in my life and that will never change"

"I love you too braveheart" I whisper back "more than you could ever know"

Next Morning

Angie POV

The next morning I awake to the sound of some one banging on a door, and when I turn over I find that Drew is not there.

"Oh no" I sigh sitting up and looking at my phone "Drew it's 8am for gods sake let them sleep" I groan to myself

"Stephen are you awake?" I hear him call out as I am assuming Stephen isn't answering the door, I hear the muffled response of Stephen but I can't hear what he said

"Well get your lazy arse out of bed we would like to speak to you both" Drew shouts

"No you want to speak to them this is nothing to do with me" I sighto myself

Once again there is a muffled response from Stephen and what I assume is Esmee laughing.

"What do you mean what makes me think she's in there with you?" Drew calls back "just how stupid do you think I am? Actually don't answer that just come to our room in 10 minutes"

Drew walks back into our room and I shoot him a questioning look.

"What?" He asks

"Really drew you couldn't let them sleep?" I ask

"I'm sorry I'm impatient and I just want you to be my wife" he says sitting on the bed

"As sweet as that is I don't think they are going to thank you" I laugh "and is Esmee wants to punch you I'm not going to stop her"

"She can't reach" he laughs

"Oh I never said anything about your face" I smirk

"She wouldn't" he says instantly crossing his legs

"Well you've quite possibly just tested that theory so it's a good job I'm already pregnant because this may be the first and last" I laugh

Before Drew can answer there is a knock at the door and Drew goes to answer it.

"Alright you better have dragged us out of bed for a reason" Stephen says walking into the room "jesus Drew" he gasps as I cover myself up with the bed sheet "you didn't even have the decency to let Angie get dressed first?" He says turning away

Keeping the bedsheet wrapped around me I grab some clothes and head into the bathroom leaving the door slightly ajar.

"So why did you want to talk to us?" Esmee asks

"Angie and I are getting married" Drew says

"I swear to god Galloway if you've dragged us out of bed to tell us something we already know" Stephen growls

"Told you you shouldn't have woken them up" I call from the bathroom

"I wasn't finished" Drew says "Angie and I are getting married today and we'd like you both to be there"

"For real?" Stephen asks and I see Drew nod

"We'd love to be there" Esmee says giving me a hug the second I leave the bathroom "Congratulations"

"Thank you" I say "and I'm sorry about impatient Annie over here,  if I had known I would have stopped him"

"Don't worry about it lass" Stephen smiles "I wait until after you're married to kill him"

"Well you were wrong about Esmee" Drew smirks at me

"Wrong about what?" She asks

"I told him if you wanted to punch him i wouldn't stop you" I laugh "he made a joke about you not being able to reach and I pointed out that I never specifically said his face"

"Oh Drew" Esmee laughs "there is still plenty of time, don't get too cocky just yet"
