One chance. | A GerIta fanfiction

The proposal.

*Feliciano's P.O.V.*
     Ludwig wanted to see me today, I can't help but wonder why. He's been so nervous recently and I really want know why. I should find out soon.
     "Feliciana, I'm-a going to meet-a with Ludwig." I told mia la bambina. "Si, ti amo papa." She said in that small voice of hers, kissing me gently on the cheek. 
     I then left to discover what my Ludwig wanted, smiling the way to his home. When I got there, I gave a knock on his door, "Doitsu! I'm-a here!" I called, smiling. He shortly answered the door. He seemed to be really nervous. I gave a gentle smile and joked, "You act as if you're trying to propose." He then stared at me, "Vell...." his low voice trailed off. "Well?" I asked, concern washing over my face. What he did next completely caught me off guard.
    "Feliciano. Vill jou marry me?" He asked as he got down on one knee. I stared at him and blinked a few times, "That's not-a funny doitsu." He stared at me with a serious expression, "It'z not meant to be." He asked once more, "Ich liebe diche. Vill jou marry me?"
     I smiled before I replied with, "Of-a course, ti amo, doitsu." He slipped the ring on my finger, and I kissed him, wrapping my arms around his neck.
     I spent some time with Ludwig before I returned home to my daughter, smiling in delight. She looked at me with her brown eyes full of curiosity, "What took-a so long?" I showed her the red tomato ring that he had given me, "He proposed." I watched the life drain from her face, "Seriously, tell-a me." I smiled, "It's true, mia la bambina."
    Of course I knew she was afraid of him, but that was because of what fratello told her... If she spent some time with him, then maybe she could grow to not be afraid of my love. She had gone to her room, mostly because she probably didn't want me to see her cry. I couldn't help but feel bad, we had only lost her mother a year or so ago.... I hope she can accept us.

*Ludwig's P.O.V.*
     I was so happy, I never thought he would say yes to me. But he did, so all is good. Sorina and Gilbert walked into the room and I looked over at them. "Vhat's wrong, vati?" Sorina asked, worry etching across her face. I walked over and brushed her long bangs from her eyes, "I did it. I propozed to Feliciano." I told the two. Gil smirked, "So? Vhat did he say?"  I looked at my brother, "He said yes." Sorina's face brightened a bit, "Zhat's vonderful." Gil patted me on the back. "Vay to go, bruder!!" I smiled at them. "Danke."
    I was going to marry Feliciano. Of course I knew his tochter was afraid me and Sorina, and anyone's afraid of Gilbert, but.... I wish she wasn't, then we could be a happy family, but I knew.... That might not happen. I should try to get to know her better, but after the wedding.
