Christina brought one of her hands to cover her mouth that was slightly open. She was so surprised right now. She felt like she was dreaming. The love of her life was in front of her on one knee.

Even though the scene surrounding them was hectic. All Christina could focus on was the man before her.

"You know I love you and I'd do anything for you." He paused sending her a cheeky smile before continuing, "and all I want for the rest of my life is you as my wife. So what do you say? Marry me?"

Christina didn't move as tears began to stream down her face. She was overwhelmed with joy. She was fixing her mouth to say yes when she suddenly thought of her father. Her face morphed into one of sadness as she remembered his fury. She couldn't help but wonder what he would think of her in this moment.

Another tear fell down her cheek. She looked up trying to gather her self.

"What are you waiting for!!!" Christina heard the sound of someone familiar. She turned her head to see her family and friends staring at her. Her eyes past over everyone seeing them anxiously awaiting her response. "Well" she locked eyes with Mrs. Barnes. Her eyes caught her father's standing beside her. His face was disapproving and then he smiled at her sending her a quick wink.

Christina smiled and that's when she thought about how her make up was probably ruined. She quickly turned around, rummaging through her bag. "Christina, baby" Andy called out.

"One second" she said furiously looking for something anything to clean up the mascara that probably plagued her face. She looked up finding her best friend trying to signal for help.

"Baby" Andrew had gotten inpatient. "What's going on?" Andrew now stood next to her.

"JUST SAY YES!!"

Christina looked up smiling through the tears that continued to flow down. She wiped under her eyes as Andrew came to stand in front of her. She leaned into him pressing her forehead on his. "Yes, I'll marry you" As soon as the words left her lips Andrew had pressed his against her.

Both emotional, the two kissed furiously almost forgetting where they were and definitely who was watching. Andrew pulled away resting his forehead against her. Both were smiling like idiots at each other.

"Of course you two would steal my thunder." Ralphy came up dapping up Andrew and hugging Christina.

"I'm sorry, congrats" Christina said giving Ralphy and extra squeeze.

"Yea yea, congrats to you too."

"What about me?"

Ralphy rolled his eyes, "yea, good luck with this one." He pointed to Andrew as he walked away.

Andrew and Christina couldn't get rid of the smiles on their faces. Andrew walked closer to Christina caressing her face before leaning in to kiss her. He was overjoyed, nothing could ruin this.

Someone cleared their throat. The couple reluctantly pulled away, turning their heads to come face to face with Lance.

"Congrats," Lance extended his hand.

Andrew looked him over wondering if he was being sincere or not. Even if he was sincere Andrew didn't care. "Let's go home." Andrew said slinging his arm around Christina and walking away.

"Where are my babies?" Christina asked as Andrew led her to the car.

"They're with their grandparents."

"Okay?" Christina said somewhat suspicious of the whole situation. Andrew hated being away from the kids more than her so she knew something was up.

As they got in the car. Christina couldn't help but notice Andrew seemed distracted. "Are you ok? I know you wanted to win the game-" Andrew cut her off by kissing her.
