The Makeup Artist (Norman Reedus)

Mrs Reedus

A few months had passed since their fight, and they had a few bickers here and there but nothing as bad as that fight.

Norman was busy filming at this evening on the last few episodes of The Walking Dead. It was summer in Georgia and Liam and Mingus were off school, Mingus by now spent near on every weekend at Norman and Louise's he and Liam were super close, Liam even stayed at Helena's a few times. The boys were hanging with friends in the skate park, Louise was tidying up before Norman got back.

The phone rang. "Mum, can me and Mingus stay at Jordan's tonight?" Liam begged, Jordan was Liam's school friend and was a sweet kid, "hmm get his mom to text me when you get in then, but i need you both back early tomorrow if you want to go on set with Norman." Louise warned, the boys did not stop going on about going to set one day and Norman arranged it for tomorrow so Louise didnt want two tired and moody boys going to work with her. Being that they were 12 and 13 now it didnt take much for them to be moody at times!

Texting Norman she told him they had the house to themselves tonight. Smiling she went to freshen up, and picked out something naughty for her to wear later on, it had been a while since it had been them two alone.

"Lou? Where are you girl?" Norman called out as he came in the door, he couldnt hear anything, but faint music from the dining room. Slowly walking in there he saw candles, two plates covered with silver lids and Louise wearing a navy off shoulder top, white jeans, navy wedges. "Whats all this for?" He asked smiling. "Baby, we havent had a night alone in so long" Louise mentioned, he took of his bag and sat down at the table as Louise poured the wine. Lifting up the silver lid he was pleased to see his favourite, Mac and Cheese, well Louise's Mac and Cheese, the best ever!

"That was gorgeous! As are you!" Norman thanked her for dinner and raised his wine glass to her. He then went a little sheepish, "i was going to..nah...no...okay" Norman mumbled and breathed out. Going to his bag he pulls out a box, "i was going to do this next week for your birthday but fuck it, nows a good a time as any" He rambled, sliding the box across the table for Louise to open. She eagerly opened the box, revealing a dark sapphire ring, the sparkles on it were mesmerising, it truly took Louise's breath away. "Wanna be Mrs Reedus?" He asked with a smile. Louise couldnt get the ring on quick enough, admiring it for a second and then hugging Norman so tightly as she gave him her answer "oh my god! Hell yea!!!"

"Let me ring Mia!" Louise squealed scrambling for her phone, "wait" Norman said holding her hand, stopping her from going. "Why dont we go out to celebrate? Ill text Andy and the rest, see if they want to meet us at the bar by the set?" Norman suggested. Andy, Jon, IronE, Lauren, Greg, Scott and Melissa all agreed to meet them at the bar, freshening up they headed out to meet the others.

"CONGRATULATIONS!" They all exclaimed in unison, Andy and Greg were ordering shots at the bar, the girls were admiring Louise's ring and the boys were patting Norman on the back and shaking his hand. "Let me see this bad boy then!" Mia called out running into the bar taking Louise in a excited hug. "Oh Lou! Its gorgeous" she added pulling her hand closer so she could see the ring. After a few shots and celebratory drinks Andy and Scott called time on the celebrations "come on guys, we have to be back bright and early tomorrow" Andy called out, "oh" the cast said teasing as if Andy was the party pooper. "Lets all say one last congratulations to Norman and Louise!!"

The next morning, Norman didnt want to get out of bed "i have to be on set in an hour and a half" he murmured rolling onto Louise in a hug, "boys will be back soon" she responded looking at the clock, hinting that they should get up. Norman headed for the shower while Louise went downstairs and prepared pancakes for Norman and the boys. "Shoo" Louise giggled pushing Eyes off the work top as she broke the eggs. He had a habit of walking over the counters as someone was cooking!

The boys came home, making a lot of noise when they came in. "Boys! Breakfast" Louise called from the kitchen, Norman and the boys came in and sat down, Louise handed the boys their plates of pancakes each and tried to wave the ring in their direction to see if they would notice, she and Norman smiled to eachother as to how the boys were so engrossed with everything but the ring. It was a big sapphire after all. "We still going work with you dad?" Mingus asked with a mouthful of pancakes. "Yea, of course bud, finish up and get changed and we will go" Norman replied. "Oh no! I dropped my fork!" Louise cried putting her hand with the ring on over her mouth dramatically, trying to see if the boys would notice. "Norman get you a ring?" Liam asked. "Well actually he asked me to marry him" Louise replied beaming. "Really?" Mingus asked interested, this spouted a few questions from the boys, when will they get married? Does Liam have to call Norman dad? Do they have to wear 'lame' suits? Would James be there? Louise smiled to herself while she washed up as the boys went upstairs still talking about it. Norman wrapped his arms around her from behind. "What time you got to be in?" He asked leaving trails of kisses on her neck, "just after 1pm" she responded trying to not get caught up in the moment considering the boys were upstairs.
