"Please turn off all electronics, we will be landing in Manchester, United Kingdom shortly."

I yawned, my arms stretching above my head before my hands curled into fists and rubbed my eyes. After all the frantic phone calls, we packed and booked a seat in first class for the next day.

I payed for my family to fly to the United Kingdom to stay there for a week. I was able to convince Louis not to when I played the old, "Oh look at the bird!" as I pointed behind us.

He fell for it.

My eyes lit up with laughter as I chuckled, thinking about how I quickly ran to the bathroom with the laptop, locking the door.

Louis' tired blue eyes fell on me, his arms extending in the air as a sleepy groan escaped his lips. As you can tell, this flight was early in the morning after we stayed up all night running around.

"What's so funny?" Louis asked as the back of his hand wiped across his chin to make sure he didn't drool.

I shrugged, the chuckles dying, "Nothing." He eyed me warily before he yawned, his eyes closing sleepily as his head drooped to my shoulder. Louis' hands reached across the seat and he wove his fingers through mine, lifting his head a little to kiss my neck before his head fell back on my shoulder.

I smiled softly, basking in the love I felt. I kissed the top of his head, deciding I would just wake him up when we actually do land.

My head turned to look out the window and I watched the dark night surrounding us and the city lights appearing closer and closer.

My family would be in Doncaster in two days. We have ended up deciding we would stay at Louis' house, have a nice dinner party, and break the news. My parents would stay in a hotel nearby.

John, my step-brother and Jenny, his pregnant wife couldn't make it. Something about breast-feeding classes? Well, I hope they have fun with that. John and me were never that close anyway.

Harry and Tommy were going to drive there together, assuming in his Range Rover, gosh that was some type of car, in time for the party. Just like Niall, Tiarne, Zayn, Liam. Lexi and Ethan couldn't make it either. I was sad, but Louis cheered me up with a surprise. He bought me my favorite childhood movie that I left in my parents house and forgot to bring back.

We had watched it on the laptop, laying in bed together.

I smiled as I thought of the warm memory, watching the city lights escape as I fell back to sleep.

By now we have been woken up by an annoyed flight attendant, got lost in the airport while Louis walked in the ladies room, and chased by some fan-girls to the limo that we were waiting for.

I'm dead serious.

Well, I'm not dead.

So I guess, alive serious?

Anyway, after the mini Indiana Jones episode, we had a long hour and roughly twenty minute drive ahead of us. Which resulted in us snoring.

It was the next morning. We had arrived late last night, the key to his mom's house under the mat. We were able to sneak into the guestroom without meeting anyone.

Before going down to breakfast, I had showered and fully gotten ready. This was actually the first time I would be meeting Mrs. Tomlinson. I have talked to the girls on Face Time when I was with Louis or talking to him, but I have never met them personally.

I walked down the stairs slowly before navigating my way to the kitchen. I walked in quietly before all eyes fell on me. Smiles graced their faces as they sat around the table eating and I smiled in return.

"Sorry I'm late to breakfast." I said, grabbing a plate and sitting at an empty seat.

"It's okay darling, I'm Jay."

"Dani." I smiled as Louis kissed my cheek. He greeted me and I did the same in response.

"So Lottie, Félicité, Daisy and Phoebe. Where's Mark?" Louis asked after he introduced everyone.

"He's at work." Lottie replied, her eyes flicking to me. Suddenly we all thrust into conversation. I actually found it kind of funny.

The next day, waiting for my parents and everyone to arrive for the party, Louis was walking around the room, his hair in a tall quiff as his recent style.

"I love you, I shalt suck your blood." Louis hissed, his teeth nipping at the skin of my neck. I laughed and gently pushed him off me as I tried to put on my shoes.

"Edward doesn't sound or has never said that in New Moon."

He shrugged as a grin lighted his face.

"Mom, dad, Jay, Mark, everyone, "Louis trailed off to cause dramatic effect as everyone looked at us seriously. The engagement ring was upstairs so they could never guess.

My eyes flickered to Ethan and Lexi on the screen of the laptop watching before connecting eyes with everyone in the room.

"You aren't pregnant are you?" Lottie asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Called it!" Tommy cried, looking at Harry.

Daisy and Phoebe looked at each other before looking at Mark, "Pregnant?"

"No!" I interrupted, chuckling, "Louis finish, no need for drama king here."

We sat in the living room, all somewhat crowded on the floor and seats. Louis and me stood in the middle of the room, his arm wrapped around my waist.

"Why don't you say it?" He asked, nudging me. I shook my head and he nudged me again.

"Why don't you both just say it!" Lexi cried, exasperated from the computer screen. The whole room's laughter reverberated.

Me and Louis locked eyes before nodding, "We're getting married."

"Oh, so this is the emergency."

"Yeah, I thought someone died."
