After staying in my room gushing over my new ring we did eventually go back out to the main living where everybody else sat around talking. Rolla and Pilote made it back there before Carter and I did.
“What were you two doing so long?” Sam asked.
“I need to see my mom first,” I changed the subject, “Where is she?”
“In her room,” Rolla answered.
“Okay,” I smiled kissing Carter quickly, “Ready?”
He nodded, “Let’s go.”
“What are you doing?” Rolla asked.
“I’ll tell you when we get back,” I said, “I just have to tell my mom first.”
We went to mom’s room and I knocked on the door a few times before walking in. Mom sat in one of the chairs watching TV.
“Why aren’t you joining the excitement?” I asked.
“That’s not really my thing. I’ll let you handle all that.”
“You can at least come out and talk.”
“I’m okay,” she smiled, “How are you?”
“Good,” I grinned, “Carter and I have news for you. We wanted you to be the first to know.”
“Okay, what is it?”
I showed her the ring.
“He proposed?!”
I nodded.
She hugged me, “I’m so happy for you. Congratulations!”
“Thank you.”
She hugged Carter next, “I’m so proud to call you a son.”
“Thank you,” he smiled at her.
“When did this happen?”
“Not too long ago actually,” I said. “We haven’t told anybody else yet.”
“Well I can’t wait for the wedding. I’ll help plan it.”
“Good,” I smiled, “I want you to.”
“I’m so happy for both of you. It warms my heart to see you so happy. You’ve truly grown in the last couple years.”
I nodded, “I have.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too mom.”
“I won’t hold you up you should go spread the news.”
I laughed, “Okay I’ll talk to you later though.”
“Be safe, okay? Please be safe.”
“I will,” I nodded, “No matter what happens I love you.”
“I love you too sweetie, you’re the greatest daughter anybody could ask for. No matter how many times we used to fight, I was always proud.”
“Thank you.”
We walked back to the living room where surprisingly Felicity and Dennis sat talking to them too.
“What are you doing here?” Carter asked hugging both of them.
“I made them stay,” Rolla said, “Because you two are being very suspicious and weren’t thinking about this news you have. I checked.”
Carter and I both laughed.
