December 2, 2014

Sydney, Natalie, and I had back in Sydney for over a year. The boys and I had finished a second tour a little over a month ago. I was so glad to be back. Sydney and I were living in my house together along with Natalie, of course. Sophia and Ashton had their baby on March 25th of 2014, so he was around a year younger than Natalie.

On the night of December 2, I was talking Sydney out to eat for her nineteenth birthday. I had a surprise.

We dropped Natalie off at Ashton and Sophia's house. The other boys were there and they were going to babysit her. Natalie and their son, Eli, could play together.

"Hey.. Mikey.. Good luck," Ashton whispered to me before Sydney and I left.

"Thanks Ash," We then drove off towards the restaurant and got there within minutes.

We walked inside, her wearing a nice red dress and me wearing tuxedo, even though it wasn't very fancy.

"Clifford, party of two," I told the man, and he took us to our table. I pulled the chair out for Sydney to sit down in, then walked around the table and sat in my chair. Sydney looked across the table at me.

"It's so nice to be out with just you and me once," she smiled.

"Yeah, it is" I smiled back.

The waiter then came to our table and took our drink orders. I ordered a champagne. Sydney ordered just a water. We continued talking, and the waiter soon came back with our drinks. We toasted, and took a drink.

"To us," I said, making a toast.

"To us," Sydney repeated. We then both took a drink. We continued talking. I wanted to wait for the surprise. I decided we would just talk until we ordered our food and it came. Then, after we finished our food, I would tell Sydney the surprise.

We started eating, then Sydney began to say something. She paused, then continued eating.

"What was that, Sydney?" I asked

"Oh, uh, nothing.."

"No, Sydney, what was it?" I asked again.

"This morning, I threw up again.. The fourth time since yesterday morning."

"Yeah?"

"And I got suspicious. So I took a pregnancy test.."

"You're not-"

"I'm pregnant."

"That's awesome, Princess." I was excited about being a dad again!

"I'm so excited yet nervous.. I mean, how am I going to handle two kids when you're away on tour? I don't know how I'll do it."

"We'll figure it out, Princess. We'll find a way to make it work."

"Okay," the smile on her face couldn't get any bigger, until I made her smile bigger later that evening.

Sydney finished her food fairly quickly, and I finished right after her. I began to talk to her again.

"Sydney.. I'll never forget the day I met you.. Without that day, none of this would've happened. We wouldn't have dated, we wouldn't have had Natalie, we wouldn't be pregnant again, nothing. I'm glad that stuff did happen, because you and Natalie are my life. I love you guys to death.. You are my everything," I smiled at her. She looked at me, watching me talk while tears formed in her eyes.

I began to walk to her on her side of the table. I got down on my one knee, and pulled out the velvet box I had in my pocket. Her hand flew over her open mouth as I opened the box to reveal a ring.

"Oh my god.. It's beautiful," she whispered.

I smiled at her once more and said, "Sydney Elizabeth Martin, will you marry me?"

I didn't take her long to say, "Yes! Yes, of course I'll marry you!" while nodding her head.

I slipped the ring onto her finger, and she brought it to her face to look at the ring.

"Mikey, I love it.. I love you," she whispered while crying.

"I love you, too," I said, then she stood up, and I kissed her. I loved her so much that I couldn't contain it. I'd loved her since the day I met her. She's amazing and I don't deserve to have her, but I do, and she's mine.
