Emily had just gotten back from a long and tiring day at work. As the unit chief, she had been dealing with back-to-back meetings and difficult cases that had left her mentally and physically drained. All she wanted to do was go home, cuddle up with y/n and Sergio, and forget about the stress of her job.

As she walked into the spacious apartment that she shared with y/n, Emily couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The familiar scent of y/n's perfume and the sound of soft music playing in the background instantly relaxed her.

'Hey honey, I'm home,' Emily called out, kicking off her shoes and hanging up her coat.

Y/n came out of the kitchen with a warm smile on her face. 'Welcome home, baby,' she greeted, giving Emily a gentle kiss on the lips. 'How was work?'

Emily rolled her eyes, causing y/n to chuckle. 'Exhausting as always. All I want to do is cuddle with you and Sergio and forget about everything else,' she admitted with a tired smile.

Y/n nodded understandingly. 'I have the perfect thing for you then. Go change into something comfortable and meet me in the bathroom.'

Confused but intrigued, Emily quickly changed into some sweatpants and a t-shirt before making her way to the bathroom. She was greeted by the sight of a warm bath filled with bubbles and scented candles lit around the room.

'Y/n, what is all of this?' Emily asked, surprised and touched by the gesture.

'I know how much you needed some relaxation after today, so I prepared a bath for you,' y/n explained, gently leading Emily to the tub. 'I even added some of your favorite bath salts.'

Emily couldn't help but smile as she sunk into the warm water. It was exactly what she needed after a long and stressful day. Y/n sat on the edge of the tub, running her fingers through Emily's hair as she relaxed.

After Emily finished her bath, y/n had prepared a delicious dinner for them to enjoy together. They talked and laughed, enjoying each other's company without any distractions.

As the night went on, Emily couldn't help but feel grateful to have y/n in her life. She was not only her loving girlfriend but also her best friend and support system. She knew that she could always count on y/n to make her feel better, no matter how tough her day had been.

As they cuddled on the couch later that night, y/n suddenly pulled out a small velvet box from under the cushion.

'Emily, I know we've talked about it before, but I want to make it official,' y/n said with a nervous smile. 'Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?'

Tears filled Emily's eyes as she looked at y/n, her heart overflowing with love. 'Yes, a thousand times yes,' she managed to say before y/n engulfed her in a tight hug, both of them crying tears of joy.

In that moment, Emily knew that her day had started off tiring and stressful, but it ended in the most beautiful and perfect way possible. She was home, with the love of her life, and she couldn't wait to spend the rest of her life making y/n the happiest wife on the planet.
