=========================

It's 2 weeks now till Margot's birthday and Jake is hard at work trying to plan the trip away, he has the location and everything booked ready for them but he just needs to get the most important thing, so he enlisted some help in his best friend, Duncan, his girlfriend Jennifer and Jake's sister, Kelly, Jake knows what he wants to do but he just isn't sure which one.

Jake: ... Alright, you can't tell anyone else. This doesn't leave this little bum ass table.

Jake's sitting with them at a small little cafe table inside the local mall, their quite lucky today because not too many people are coming over to them and bothering their day, most, nearly all celebrities are happy for you to come say "Hi" but it can get annoying when you're with your friends or family.

Jake: So, I need your help with a pretty simple thing. I want to ask Margot to marry me.

Jennifer and Kelly both didn't expect him to say that while Duncan has a smile on his face, he knew about Jake's want to marry Margot for weeks now but he's a little worried that people and Margot will assume he's only doing it because she's pregnant but he's not, asking the Aussie to marry him has been on his mind for months now but it wasn't till recently did he actually realise how much he needs her and wants her to be happy.

Kelly: Holy shit! I'm so excited!

Jake, Duncan and Jennifer actually jumped a little from her outburst but Jake was quickly clamed by his younger sister hugging him, the small commotion caught a little bit of attention but most just went about their days while Kelly continued to hug her brothers neck while slightly jumping up and down on the fairly sturdy chair.

Jake: Yeah, me too but I still need my eardrums.

Jake chuckled while Kelly apologized letting him go, he knew that she'd be happy for him, he remembers when he first met her, she was only a 9 year old girl and her parents wanted another child but couldn't have anymore themselves, their mother got really ill when Kelly was born, so they opted to adopt and after they heard about Jake's story where he was given back over and over again, they took a shot in the dark.

Kelly: Sorry, J. I'm just really happy for you, after all the... You know.

Jake smiled to her as he pulled her into a side hug once he moved their chairs closure together, they all knew what Jake had experienced when he was a kid, he told Duncan once they first met, he didn't have to but it makes things easier because that way people know how to tread around him, Jake hated that he was like that once upon a time but now he's a perfectly normal boy.

Jake: Trust me. I know, Margot's the on I want to spend the rest of my life with. That's why I need you guys', well, mainly you twos...

Jake was talking to them all but was more needing the girls for this part, he's known Duncan for years now and isn't even sure if he has ever worn jewelry in his life so picking out an engagement ring isn't really something Jake wants to ask him for, Jennifer and Kelly however know what a girl likes in gems.

Jake: ... I need help picking a ring.

Jake isn't afraid to ask for help anymore, he was when he was first adopted but now it's like water off a ducks back, it's easy for him, especially when he has great friends to help him with it, Kelly was more then happy too and so where Duncan and Jennifer, so they finished their drinks, Jake actually got another one, he's been planning this birthday for a while now and is pretty drained from the long nights making sure everything's booked and ready to go, he waited till she was asleep to do it, that seemed like a good plan at the time.
