In a couple of days it would be exactly 2 years since you and Chris finally got together at the relief of both your friends and family who said quote 'the sexual tension had been killing them'. You hadn't believed them to begin with, Chris had been a good friend of yours for years. You didn't think he liked you in that way, and to be honest you didn't realise you liked him that way either.

It wasn't until one fateful summer's night when everyone had gone to bed that everything changed. Neither of you could sleep, the energy from the day refusing to leave your body. And you could remember this strange urge to go outside and look up at the stars. Chris must have had the same urge because you found him sat on one of the swings that hung from a large tree.

The two of you talked and laughed, eventually moving to lie on the grass. To this day you couldn't pinpoint the turning point in the conversation, all you could remember was glancing over to see him staring at you with the goofiest smile on his face.

"what?" you laughed looking over at him.

"nothing... you're- you're just really beautiful" Chris smiled.

You scoffed shaking your head looking back at the stars, you had never been good at taking compliments, even if you did know that Chris would never lie to you.

"I think Miles might have hit you on the head with that ball a bit too hard" you told him as you looked back over at him.

Chris rolled his eyes, propping himself up on his elbow "I am certainly not concussed, plus even if I was it doesn't change the fact I've always thought you were insanely beautiful" Chris said with a causal shrug of his shoulder.

You jaw dropped at his admission "really" you asked your voice was barely above a whisper.

Chris' face scrunched up, giving you a look as if it was obvious "yeah, I mean you're incredible" he hummed as he glanced back down at the floor, his long fingers plucking up blades of grass.

He sighed wiping his hand on his jeans as he shook his head "but look I know we're great friends, you're my best friend and I don't wanna ruin that by expecting more, I just wanted to tell you at least once" Chris said as he began to ramble, filling the silence you'd left in your shock.

Thankfully you did manage to get over your shock, you quickly shuffled over closing the gap and kissing him. He'd let out a noise of surprise had if he never truly expected this to happen.

"I like you too Chris" you said when you finally pulled away.

"really?" he asked in disbelief.

"yeah" you chuckled gently as you leant back in and kissed him again.

So for your 2 year anniversary it seemed apt to spend it having a picnic out in the garden under the stars in the exact same spot where it all started. It was perfect for you and Chris, neither of you were into big, grand over the top gestures. You didn't need to go out to fancy restaurants that cost an arm and a leg for portions so small that you'd end up getting take out on the way home. Plus you'd been under the weather recently following a make your own sushi night with your friends. So a quiet night in was perfect for the both of you.

You had to be at work all day so you were anxious to get home to relax and celebrate with Chris. You shouldn't have been surprised because you knew Chris extremely well but when you stepped out into the garden you were surprised to see fairy lights hanging from the trees making the garden look like something from a fairy tale.

"Happy anniversary sweetheart" Chris whispered pressing a kiss to your temple.

As the sun set the two of you reclined in the grass, a large spread of picnic food in front of you. More food than you could possibly eat in one night, thankfully you had a large enough of an extended family to share the food with tomorrow.

You were picking at some fruit when you glanced over at Chris to see him looking back at you with a strange look on his face.

"what? Have I got cream on my face?" you ask your hand coming up to your mouth.

"no, well actually a little" he chuckled reaching out to wipe the cream away with him thumb, quickly licking it off his thumb "but that wasn't why I was looking" he said shaking his head.

"what's on your mind Evans?" you asked with a lopsided grin.

The grin on his face grew when he heard his last name fall from his lips "I was just thinking of that very first night, and how beautiful you still are, and always will be" Chris smiles shaking his head gently, he then pushed himself up so he was sat upright facing you.

"and it got me to thinking about how lucky I have been to have you in my life, even before we got together, because god you are just incredible and I count my lucky stars everyday that I have you" he continues glancing up at the starry sky.

"Chris" you whisper under your breath, tearing up as you felt the emotions swell within you.

"hold on I'm not done, and I really don't wanna lose my train of thought" he says holding up his hand to stop you from saying any more.

His eyes then met yours and it was like he visible melted, his shoulders slumping as he smiled down at you "fuck, I've lost it" he sighs chuckling gently.

He shakes his head "well the general gist of what I wanted to say is that I love you more than anything else in this world, I love every inch of you, every single detail, even the ones that make you scrunch your nose up in disagreement, and I would be a fool to not want to continue loving you for the rest of my life" he says before shifting so he was resting on one knee "so that being said I have a very important question to ask you in the exact same spot that this all started.... Y/N will you do me the absolute honour and become my wife?" he asks, waiting with bated breath.

Your hand was shaking as you raised it to cover your mouth in shock. Tears well and truly falling as you nodded your head vigorously "yes, of course I will" you stutter through the tears practically launching yourself at him. Chris chuckles wrapping his arms around you tightly, burying his head in the crook of your neck kissing the skin there as his own tears fell. He cupped your cheeks kissing you deeply before taking your hand and slipping the ring onto your finger.

"I actually have something important to tell you too" you say wiping away your tears as you smiled back at him.

Chris' brows furrowed in confusion, his head tilting lightly. You smile back at him as you reached back to the jacket you'd brought outside, even though it wasn't that cold. You reached into the pocket before glancing over your shoulder.

"Close your eyes" you tell him.

Once he did as he was told you placed the present in his hand "open them" you told him quietly.

Chris opened his eyes, his baby blues focussing on your before glancing down at the object in his hand. Once he saw it his eyes widened in surprise.

"Holy shit! Is this what I think it is?" He asked glancing between you and the object in his hand.

"yep" you grinned "I'm pregnant" you whisper still unable to believe it yourself.

Chris' hand shakes as he cups his mouth in surprise shaking his head in disbelief, his eyes turning glassy as he stared down at the positive pregnancy test.

"thank you" he whispered, his voice breaking as he glanced back up at you "you've given me everything I've ever wanted and I can't thank you enough" he mutters sniffling back his tears.

"oh Chris" you whisper shuffling closer and hugging him closely as he repeatedly thanked you, pressing kisses to your cheeks and neck.

"I love you so much" he says shaking his head as he pulled away enough to look at you.

"I love you too" you smile cupping his cheeks, thumb brushing over his beard "and you're gonna be an amazing dad"

He let out a watery laugh as he smiles back at you "and you're gonna be an amazing mom" he whispered kissing you deeply.
