It had been three months since you moved in with Joel and Sarah. You were washing the dishes and you heard Sarah scream from upstairs. You dropped the plate and ran upstairs.
"What's wrong?" You tried to catch your breath.
"Baby? Open the door. What's going on?" Joel was already there knocking the bathroom door.
"I want (y/n)!" Sarah cried.
Joel gestured to you to talk to her. He crossed his arms and leaned on the wall.
"Sarah? Darling? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" You moved closer to the door so she could hear you.
"I-I think I'm dying." She cried.
You guessed she just got her first period. You chuckled and looked at Joel.
"I think I left the tap open. Why don't you help me turn it off?" Joel understood this was a women's thing so he went to the kitchen.
"Sarah? Will you open the door for me?" You held the door handle.
"Is dad there?"
"No. He's downstairs."
Sarah unlocked the door and let you in. She sat on the toilet seat and showed you her underwear.
"Am I gonna die?" She looked at you with tears welling in her eyes.
"No, baby. You just got your first period." You smiled and crouched to be the same height as her.
"What's that?"
"It's uh- It's normal. Every woman has it every month. As a woman, we bleed for a few days every month. Sometimes it's 5 days or 7 days. It depends. Then the cycle goes on, and you will get it again next month."
"So I'm not gonna die, right?"
"No, honey. You're not gonna die. You're a woman now." You chuckled and caressed her back.
"So, if you get your period, you wear this." You took your pads from the cabinet and passed it to her.
"What is this?" Sarah got confused.
"It's a sanitary pad. It's to absorb the blood. You wear it like this." You taught Sarah how to wear it.
"There's actually other types like tampons and others. But I prefer this one. I can buy you the others and see which one you feel comfortable with."
Sarah nodded.
"Does your stomach hurt?" You hold Sarah's shoulder.
"Kind of." She squeezed her stomach.
"Okay. Why don't you lay on your bed and I'll get you something." You tapped her shoulder and left to the kitchen.
"Everything's good?" Joel was worried.
"Yeah, everything's fine. Sarah just got her first period. She's an adult now." You smirked.
"Oh." Joel put his hands on his pocket awkwardly.
You found the medicine box and got painkillers for Sarah.
"I gotta give her this." You showed the painkillers to Joel and moved your way upstairs.
"Hey, here. Drink this. It'll help relieve the pain." You sat on the edge of Sarah's bed.
Sarah got up and drank the medicine you gave her.
"Thank you, (y/n). I wouldn't know what to do if you weren't here. Dad would have freaked out."
You smiled and stroked her hair.
"Why don't you get some sleep? Find me if you need anything, allright?" You tucked in Sarah.
"Okay, good night (y/n)." Sarah closed her eyes.
"Good night." You kissed her forehead and closed the door slowly.
You walked to your bedroom. Joel flinched and hurriedly closed the drawer beside the bed.
"Did I just catch you doing something?" You raised one of your eyebrows.
"No." Joel's eyes moved from side to side avoiding eye contact.
"What is it? Porn magazine?" You teased him.
"Ugh- It's nothin'."
"It's okay. I won't force you to show me." You laughed and made your way to the bathroom.
You took a few minutes doing your nighttime skincare before going to bed. You sighed as you climbed to bed. Joel was sitting on the bed with his hands behind his head leaning on the headboard.
"Thank you." Joel suddenly thanked you.
"For what?" You held your head with your hands to look at him.
"For everythin'. You take care of Sarah like your own. I wouldn't know what to do if you weren't here. I would have freaked out."
"Sarah told me that." You chuckled.
"She did?"
"Uh-huh."
"Baby.." Joel's heart was beating faster.
"Hmm?"
"Thank you for showing up in my life. Sometimes I wish I met you sooner." He sounded so serious so you got up into a sitting position.
"You're beautiful, you're kind, pure, loving, and...you're the most perfect woman I've ever met. You're like an angel that God has sent to me. And of course the sex with you is AMAZING." He chuckled.
You giggled and your eyes were watery. You were touched by his praise.
"I don't want to lose you. I want to keep you mine forever. I know Sarah is a lot happier since you're around. I am too. And today, what you did to Sarah..it-it made me even sure that you will be the best mother and wife in this world." He took your hand and kissed it.
Happy tears falling down your cheeks. You knew where this was going. Joel wiped your tears with his thumb. Joel turned to the drawer next to the bed and extended his hand to open it. He took out a navy blue velvet ring box.
You gasped and closed your mouth with both of your hands.
"Joel.." You cried.
"I was actually going to propose to you in a more romantic way. Fancy dinner, roses, balloons, and a band. Not just in our bedroom with nothin'. But I couldn't wait anymore. I want to put a ring on your finger and make you mine forever. I love you so much. (y/n), will you marry me?" He opened the ring box to you.
"Yes!Yes! It's always yes!" You jumped to him and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you." Tears falling down from Joel's eyes as he kissed you.
Joel took your left hand and put the ring on your ring finger.
"It's beautiful. Thank you." You raised your hand up and admired the ring he gave you.
"Spent two hours in the store for that." Joel put his hand on the back of his neck.
"Well, that two hours is well spent." You smiled at him.
Joel kissed your temple, put his arms around you and laid down on the bed with you.
"So, I'm officially Mrs. Miller now?" You caressed his chest.
Joel chuckled and rested his chin on top of your head.
