Prince Charming

Marry you?

Rosie POV

I look up at him shocked at what I just heard. I must have misheard him right. He didn't just ask me to marry him. Right?
"Rosie?"
I look up and see him looking down at me anxiously "sorry, I thought you asked me to......"
"Marry me? I did" he laughs
"Henry......"
"I know it's soon and I know it's sounds crazy but Rosie I love you and I can't imagine my life with anyone but you. This isn't me asking because of what happened or anything like that. This is me wanting to marry you. I know I don't have a ring but I mean this from the bottom of my heart Rosie. I want you to be my wife"

"Henry......I love you too, this is just......"
"A shock?"
"Yeah. I'm not saying no, but can I maybe think about it a little?"
"Oh......yeah of course......I'm sorry......."
He gets up and walks towards the bathroom and I know he's upset. It's just this is a huge decision, we haven't even been together a year yet and I feel like we still have so much to learn about each other.
He walks out of the bathroom and offers me a sad smile, he gets into bed and lies on his back staring the the ceiling. He doesn't say anything, not one word. So I roll to face the door and I let my tears fall once more. I've ruined it, he hates me now.

Henry POV

I'm not going to lie hearing her say she needed to think about it hurt. I thought we were both in the same head space. Maybe I shouldn't have just sprung this on her, she's just got home from the hospital and she doesn't need this type of stress. I don't know what to say to her, I've made this so awkward and I can't believe how much of an idiot I am. As I lay there, telling my self again and again what a complete idiot I am, I feel her roll away. A few seconds and I hear her sniffle, she's crying and it's my fault.

I roll towards her and place my hand on her arm "Rosie?"
She turns to face me and I see her sad, red eyes staring back. I cup her cheeks and kiss her softly.
"I'm sorry Rosie, I shouldn't have asked"
"Henry.....I love you, I do more then anything and the idea of being your wife makes me so happy but...."
"It's too soon, I know. It's okay"
"Your mad at me"
"No....sweetheart I'm not. I'm mad at myself, I was in the moment and it just came out, I do want to marry you of course I do. But your rights it's too soon and you've just got out of the hospital. I'm so sorry, I hope I haven't scared you away"

"Never Henry. You can't get rid of me"
"Good, come here"
She turns slowly and lies in my chest, my arms incase her and hold her close.
"It's good to have you in my arms again"
"It's good to be back here with you. I love you so much"
"I love you too"
We snuggle down and I play with her hair, both of us settling into a deep sleep of peace and love.
