Sequel is called "Baby Tomlinson". It's on my page if you're interested. :) x
We flew back to America to meet with the boys in New Hampshire. They were having a concert in a few of days and until then they were on break. Louis had insisted upon taking me out tonight. He said it was even more important now that we only had six months-ish to do anything related to going out on dates. New borns are really needy and you can almost never put them down. Besides, I wouldn't really want to. I'd rather hold it and play with it all day. The only downside to little babies is the night time. You either get lucky and their an all-night sleeper, or their an on and off again sleeper that keeps you up all-night. I'll just have to hope for the one that sleeps through the night. But overall, I just pray that it's healthy. I don't even have a sex preference.
Since I'm pretty tiny in size, it wouldn't be long before I needed to go shopping for new clothes. For now, though, I was fine with the clothes I had. Louis was going to be back to the hotel any minute now. So, I quickly changed into jeans and a v-neck jumper. As soon as I putting on mascara and eyeliner, Louis got back to the room. He attempted to drag me out of the hotel room, but I stopped him to get my shoes. After putting on my moccassins, Louis grabbed my hand and tugged me out of the suite.
We arrived at a restaurant and were seated by the hostess. I, of course, ordered my favourite, fettucini alfredo, since it was on the menu. It was probably the first time we'd been to a restaurant without everyone else. It's not that I didn't like going out with the others; I loved to. But the fact that we got to be alone was just different and more special in my mind.
"I'm taking you somewhere else when we're done," Louis said out of nowhere.
"Louis... It's snowing..."
"That's even better."
Whatever he meant by that, I had no idea. So, I finished what I could of my pasta and Louis paid the waiter. He didn't look too happy when he handed over the tab. It confused me quite a bit. Was it that expensive? Once we were walking outside, I decided to bring it up.
"Why were you so upset about handing the money to our waiter?"
"Cause, I swear, he would not stop looking at you."
"Aw, you got jealous," I teased, leaning into his side.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever."
We walked for quite some time in the slow-falling snow. Small flakes were on my eyelashes and probably throughout my hair. The scene in front of us was beautiful. Mountains snowcapped with the sun setting behind them.
"This is so beautiful."
When I turned round to figure out why Louis wasn't responding, he was down on one knee in the snow-covered grass, holding open a small box with a ring inside. My heart literally skipped a beat in my chest. It felt like time was frozen and there was no one else in the world besides us.
"Audrey Samantha Devine, will you marry me?"
My eyes clouded with tears and my mouth became dry, depriving me of the ability to verbally answer his question. Instead I shook my head yes as the tears slowly slid down my cheeks. Louis got up and put the ring on my finger, not breaking eye contact as he did so. Then he wiped away my tears of happiness with the back of his thumb. I didn't hesitate to lurch forward, wrapping my arms round his neck and kissing him passionately. We may've been out in the cold in February with snow falling down from the skies of New Hampshire, but with Louis I always felt warm. He helped to make my heart whole again after my parents' death and I wanted to make it up to him. There was only one thing I could think of, though.
I pulled back to whisper in his ear, "We should go find a hotel close by."
"But we're staying at one already."
"I don't want to wait that long," I said biting my bottom lip. He took the hint and smirked, intertwining our fingers as we walked out of the park. Good thing I'm already pregnant...
