Can You Forgive Me?

Chapter 11 The Proposal

It was a Saturday which for Scott and Kira felt like it never came enough. The sun was peeping in the window above the sleeping couple sprawled out on the bed together. It was bright enough to slowly wake Kira. Her eyes splintered open, filtering the sunlight and her surroundings. She felt the urge to get out of bed and get ready for school, but that was when she remembered it was a Saturday and she didn't have to be anywhere and she certainly didn't have to get out of bed before 8am which was one of the best feelings ever! She felt Scott's strong arms draped around her and she could feel him supporting her, she could feel the warmth of his chest and the warmth of his breath on her neck. She was trying to get back to sleep but had no luck and there was no chance of her getting back to sleep when Scott began to stir from his deep sleep. As his eyes slowly splintered open and focused on Kira she turned to face him and after a couple of seconds they were just staring straight into each other's eyes.

"Good morning." She could see the grin growing on his face and she could tell he was generally happy.

"Good morning, how'd you sleep?" Kira questioned the wolf stirring beside her and repositioning his position to make him a little more comfortable.

"Very well thanks to you." She laughed a little.

"What do you mean?" Scott smiled a little bit and pushed himself up turned away from Kira, opened a draw and pulled out something she couldn't see properly and when he turned back she could tell he was going to speak.

"Well I had a dream of you, me and the baby, but it was when he was a teenager and we were happy and I couldn't help, but see that a life with you is all I need to be happy and I've been trying to find a way to do this all week and I've been stressing about making it perfect, but I think that now is just a good idea." He pulled out a small little box and Kira didn't really know what it was, but she was about to find out. He separated the floor and roof of the box and sitting inside was the most beautiful ring and a smile instantly grew across her face because she knew what was happening now. "Kira, will you marry me?" She quickly grabbed him and laced his lips with multiple kisses before pulling away to give her answer.

"Yes, yes of course I will!" She could barely contain her excitement as Scott slid the beautiful diamond onto her ring finger. "I love you Scott." He smiled feeling the same excitement she was feeling. He pulled her as close to him as he could as they entwined their bodies together.

"I love you too." He held her as close to him as possible for an amount of time the both lost track of as all they thought about was each other until Scott spoke up.

"What will we call ourselves?" That statement confused Kira and it was shown clearly across the complexion of her face.

"What do you mean Scott?" He chuckled a little before answering the question asked.

"I mean what will our last name be? I mean because your last name if you want because it's so special or you can take mine or . . ." His thought trail was cut off by Kira.

"We could hyphenate them, but which way around is the question. McCall-Yukimura or Yukimura McCall?" Scott thought a second before answering.

"I think Yukimura-McCall sounds better what about you?"

"I think so as well, but for now you can call me whatever you want." He smiled before getting up and putting a shirt on which slightly disappointed her, but when he offered her his hand she couldn't resist.

"Now, shall we go get something to eat Mrs. McCall?" She smiled hearing that, she had thought about it, but now it was actually happening.

"I would and I'm not sure I could ever get enough of hearing that." He smiled and pulled her close to him once more and gave her a passionate kiss on her neck and then her lips.

"Me neither." They slowly walked down the stairs and they found Melissa sitting at the breakfast table and Kira quickly pulled Scott to the side before she noticed them.

"Are we going to tell her now or later?" Scott took about half a second to think about it and respond.

"Why don't we tell her now? She's going to find out sometime so why not now?" Kira nodded and they walked into the kitchen where Melissa was sitting, she turned her head when she noticed them.

"Hey guys looking for something to eat?" Scott shook his head before he spoke.

"There was kind of something we wanted to tell you."

"Okay what is it?" Scott wasn't quite sure about how to say it, so he thought of the easiest way to say it.

"Mum, say hello to your daughter in law." Melissa looked stunned for a second before she looked down to Kira's hands to see the beautiful ring sitting there on her ring finger.

"Well, congratulations. Welcome to the family." She stood and gave Kira a hug and then Scott a hug. "When did you decide on this?"

"Well I was thinking about our baby and then I thought I couldn't really think of a future without her, so there was one thought and we're already having a child together."

"Well either way I'm very happy for both of you. You've found someone who's special enough to want to spend a lot of time with and someone you want to share your life with and that's something that's hard to find."

"Thanks Mum." Scott, Kira and Melissa sat down and after about an hour Kira thought about her parents.

"We should probably go tell my parents now." Scott quickly agreed an before long they were driving towards Kira's house, but the entire drive she couldn't take her eyes off of the ring on her finger which she could see her future in very easily.
